Tie Mo signaled the army to stay put and patiently waited for the news from Sha Diao. Sha Diao did not disappoint. One day later, Sha Diao passed the investigation results to Tonghui Town.
According to the content of the message, on August 20, there were signs of mobilization of the one thousand officers and soldiers stationed at Dianshan Lake. The thousand officers and soldiers set off at midnight that night and disappeared. The next day, a good news was conveyed to Wujiang County, saying that it was the defender of Dianshan Lake.
General Fu Zhao attacked the bandits at night and killed three hundred of them.
A night attack on bandits and killing three hundred enemies, haha, sounds good, but according to Shi Song, the troops and horses under Shi Song's command were not disturbed that day, so the mention of this night attack on bandits is a bit memorable. Gradually,
, An idea came to Tie Mo’s mind, killing good people and taking credit for their crimes. In fact, it is not uncommon to kill good people and take credit for their crimes. If this is the case, it can also explain why the thieves cut off the heads of the men in Tonghui Town.
In order to verify what he was thinking, after handing over some matters to Orger, Tie Mo led the people back to Wujiang County, where they met Shang Kexi and Sha Diao who were also at a loss. In fact, before Tie Mo came, Sha Diao monk
Fortunately, we have already examined the heads in detail. After many years of experience, we can easily come to the conclusion that these heads are not those of bandits at all, but those of ordinary people.
Tie Mo is not a good person, let alone a hero. He has never wanted to be a hero, but even though he is cold-hearted, he still hates things like killing good people and taking credit. Fu Wen, a small lieutenant, dared to kill good people and take credit.
achievement?
If there was no one above to take the responsibility, he wouldn't dare to give him ten more courages. At this point, there is no need to continue investigating the matter. Fu Wen, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangzhou Army and Horses Division, has only held this position since he followed Ma Guotao.
He was promoted rapidly, from Dutou to the position of deputy general manager in two years. Last year, Ma Guotao was ordered to be transferred to Guangzhou to participate in the suppression of bandits, and Fu Wen was also brought to Guangzhou.
At this time, Tie Mo's expression was as cold as ice, and the corners of his mouth turned up. Ma Guotao, hum, this piece of shit has lost Mei Zhu Town, and he still allows his subordinates to kill good people and take credit. It would be a big deal if he is still allowed to live.
What a joke.
With a plan in mind, Tie Mo took a rest and went to the camp in the west of Wujiang County under the leadership of Shang Kexi. Since the bandits invaded Guangzhou, Wujiang County has become the frontline against the bandits. Due to the garrison of the army, it was convenient to
It was divided into two camps, the east and west. The east camp was occupied by the Northern Shanxi Army, while the west camp was left to Ma Guotao's troops who returned from defeat.
At noon, people in the West Camp were panicking because the Iron Governor of Suzhou Prefecture had personally issued an order two days ago to arrest five generals, including Ma Guotao, Liang Shichuan, and Liang Wanzong. Originally, the soldiers thought that the Iron Governor had arrested the generals, but
They were just angry about the fall of Meizhu Town, but who would have thought that a day later, news would come out that the Iron Governor wanted to kill Ma Guotao and others in order to establish military prestige. As soon as the news spread, the West Camp suddenly exploded.
Ma Guotao was usually very friendly to his brothers in the army, and Liang Shichuan and his son were also very popular with the army. Now that the Iron Superintendent wanted to kill these people, how could the soldiers be willing to do it?
In a Populus euphratica forest outside the West Camp, Xiao Feng frowned, holding a steel knife in his hand, and kneeling under the knife was a trembling man. This man had a square face and big eyes, but from his appearance,
Who would have guessed that this man would be a bastard who kills good people and takes credit for his crimes?
"Superintendent, you can't treat the general like this. The general leads the troops against the enemy and works tirelessly. You can't treat the general like this!"
Tie Mo looked at Fu Wen, who was still making sophistry, with only disgust in his eyes, "Fu Wen, don't act like a fool in front of this supervisor. Do you have the guts to kill good people and take credit, but don't you have the guts to admit your guilt? Hum hum, you led the army that night
Did you think about retribution for the soldiers who looted Tonghui Town? Do you still want to quibble? You piece of shit, I have asked some relatives of the people of Tonghui Town to come and identify them. The head you sent is his.
You are a citizen of Tonghui Town, what are you going to tell me now about leading troops to fight against the enemy and going to all the trouble?"
Fu Wen's face turned pale in a flash, and he was still that pale. Facing Tie Mo's destructive gaze, his body was shaking like chaff, "Supervisor... have mercy on me..."
"Spare your life? Hehe, you don't have to think about it. You must die, but I can assure you that as long as you tell who is behind the scenes, you can die more happily. But if you don't say it, you will suffer consequences.
Think for yourself!"
After saying that, Tie Mo turned around and walked out of Populus euphratica forest. Xu Meiling followed Tie Mo out without hesitation.
Only half a quarter of an hour later, Sha Diao and Xiao Feng walked out of the woods, "Supervisor, as expected, Fu Wen has done this thing of killing Liang Liang and taking credit for it more than once. Every time, Ma Guotao turned a blind eye.
Only one eye made Fu Wen's accumulated merit rise so quickly."
"You bastard, Ma Guotao is a beast. I will kill him with a thousand cuts!"
The matter has been investigated clearly. Tie Mo no longer has any taboos and leads people into the West Camp. In order to prevent unexpected situations, Shang Kexi also deployed troops to garrison outside the West Camp. Walking in the West Camp, you can clearly feel those things.
Tie Mo couldn't understand the unkind look in the soldier's eyes. How could a beast like Ma Guotao, with a human face and a beast's heart, win the hearts of the soldiers so much?
Standing on the high platform of the camp, Shang Kexi, dressed in military uniform, looked at everyone in the school, "Liang Shichuan and Liang Wanzong, as generals of the imperial court, did not want to serve, but led the troops to retreat again and again. They are really the scum of our army. Order
He was imprisoned in prison and beheaded in public three days later. In addition, Ma Guotao, who was in charge of one side, feared the enemy's defeat and fled, and was guilty of fleeing from the battle. In addition, Ma Guotao connived with his general Fu Wen to kill Liang Liang and take merit. The evidence is conclusive. According to the order of the King of Qin, he will be killed three days later.
He was tied up in the school grounds and cut into pieces with a thousand swords!"
Killing a good person and taking credit for it? Many soldiers stared wide-eyed, how could this be possible? General Ma Guotao worked hard for the country and was a loyal man, how could he kill a good person and take credit for it?
The school grounds suddenly became chaotic, with many people noisy and noisy. Shang Kexi looked at everything in front of him with cold eyes. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and he screamed secretly. A soldier standing in front actually jumped up and charged with a gun.
After getting on the high platform, the thin soldier quickly stabbed Tie Mo at Shang Kexi's side with his pistol, and cursed loudly, "Thief, take my shot..."
Facing the sudden assassination, Tie Mo remained motionless and as steady as Mount Tai. When the spear struck, Zhou Dingshan made an instant move and snatched the spear away with a single grapple. The sand sculpture pulled out his sword and pressed it against the soldier's neck like lightning.
, "You are bold. You dare to be bold in front of the governor, and you are not afraid of killing the nine tribes?"
"Giggle... Bah, what is the Iron Governor? In my opinion, he is just a cold-blooded scum. I thought that the Iron Governor was a hero of the world. Who would have thought that he would be no different from that pig digging his grave. Humph, punish him.
Among the nine clans, my grandpa and father are about to die, and I am going to die too. There are only three of us in the family, which of the nine clans will you destroy?"
The voice was shrill and harsh, mostly sarcastic. The sand sculpture couldn't help but frown, and then knocked off the helmet on the soldier's head. He saw that the soldier had slender eyebrows, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a small round face. What's going on here?
She was an ordinary soldier, obviously a young woman of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Sha Diao was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do, so he had to look at Tie Mo. Tie Mo was also curious. This little woman was quite courageous. She actually dared to assassinate in front of so many people. "Yes, she has some courage."
, who are you and why do you want to assassinate this governor."
"I don't want to change my name. I don't want to change my surname. My aunt's name is Liang Ling'er. Why did I assassinate you? You framed my grandpa and father and wanted to kill them. Do you think I should kill you?"
Liang Ling'er? Soon Tie Mo understood a little bit. It was understandable that she came up to dance with guns and start a gang. Aren't Liang Shichuan and Liang Wanzong Liang Ling'er's grandfather and father?
"You are such a courageous little lady. Your grandfather and father retreated without a fight. What's wrong with this supervisor convicting them of escaping from the battlefield? And that Ma Guotao, who allowed his subordinates to kill good people and take credit for their crimes. The evidence is conclusive. This supervisor
I have never wronged him, so tell me, should I punish them for their crimes or should I not?"
Tie Mo's expression was solemn and his eyes were like lightning. Liang Ling'er, who could see the sky and the earth without fear, was also a little flustered, "You are talking nonsense. Although General Ma and Grandpa hastily withdrew from Meizhu Town, there was a reason. Absolutely
It's not that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you run away from the battle. Why kill a good person and take credit for it? Hey, there is no need to accuse him. You are the governor of five provinces and have great power. If you want to convict General Ma, you can't do it.
, You can imagine that General Ma has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. He is loyal to his country and loves his soldiers as a son. Who doesn’t know and who doesn’t know? You said he killed a good person and took merit. Are you awake? I
Bah...she's good-looking, but has a heart as black as a dog..."
Being insulted like this by a little girl, Tie Mo's face certainly didn't look good. People like Sha Diao were embarrassed to kill Liang Ling'er due to their status, but some people were not. Xu Meiling frowned, her expression cold.
Hearing Liang Ling'er's rude words, she immediately walked up and grabbed Liang Ling'er's collar, slapped her twice, then pulled out a short knife and placed it on Liang Ling'er's neck, "You'd better be less rude. If you dare to do more,
To put it simply, believe it or not, I will make your life worse than death?"
I don’t know how many people have died at the hands of Xu Meiling over the years. They have experienced a lot, and their character has been tempered to the point of being as cold as ice. How can someone like Liang Ling’er resist such an imposing gaze? Liang Ling’er is not afraid of being bullied.
She wasn't afraid of Tie Mo, but she was afraid of Xu Meiling, a guard who didn't talk much, because she felt that this woman could do anything.
Tie Mo squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he nodded to Shang Kexi, "Let's put this ignorant woman in prison first, and let her be executed together with Liang Shichuan and his son in the future."
"yes!"
The soldiers escorted Liang Ling'er down, and the soldiers on the school grounds immediately became restless. Many of them were already drawing swords and guns, and gathered around the high platform. "Superintendent, you cannot slander General Ma. General Ma is unjustly accused!"
Facing the mutiny that might come at any time, Tie Mo remained calm and composed, standing proudly in front of him, his burly body like a high wall, a pair of bull's eyes glaring, and roared like thunder, "How dare you, are you going to rebel?"
Can’t make it?”
Following this roar, countless soldiers from the Northern Shanxi Army rushed in one after another outside the school grounds. Each of them held a long bow and aimed at the soldiers on the school grounds. It was only then that the restless soldiers calmed down. Shang
Ke Xi Da Nostrils snorted and looked at the people on the school grounds with an unkind expression, "Whether Ma Guotao killed a good person and took credit for it, we will find out. If you dare to besiege the governor, you are guilty of treason and you will be killed without mercy. Now,
All generals, please restrain your subordinates. If something like this happens again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Shang Kexi coaxed and deceived, and finally the soldiers of the West Camp slowly dispersed. When everything settled down, Shang Kexi frowned and said with worry, "Superintendent, is there a fraud in this matter? If so,
Ma Guotao is really a ruthless man, why is he so popular with the military?"
"It's time to interrogate Ma Guotao, Liang Shichuan and his son!" Tie Mo gave the order, turned around and hurried to the military camp commander's tent.
Shang Kexi would send someone to pick up Ma Guotao and Liang Shichuan and his son. Before anyone came, Tie Mo sat in his seat and thought hard. After a while, he called Sha Diao over and whispered a few words, and then Sha Diao nodded and left Shuai Mo.
The tent. Ma Guotao and Liang Shichuan and his son were soon escorted to the tent. This was the first time that Tie Mo saw the three of them, but it was not the first time that the three of them met Tie Mo, so as soon as the three of them entered the tent, they all came together
Kneeling on the ground, Liang Shichuan burst into tears and said, "Superintendent, we have been wronged!"
"Haha, it's really interesting. Then you can tell me how I have wronged you?"
"Superintendent, we really had no choice but to lead the troops to withdraw from Meizhu Town. That day, the last general was on duty. At about 1:30, the last general saw fire coming from Tonghui Town in the north. At that time
Feeling uneasy, I asked people to follow the rope out of the city and go to Tonghui Town to investigate. At that time, they saw bandits looting Tonghui Town. At this time, bandits were threatening Meizhu Town, and we were unable to send reinforcements to support Tonghui.
Town, we can only watch the bandits occupy the northern town. The commander has led troops for many years. When he knew the consequences of being cut off, in order to avoid the loss of food and grass in the city, he broke into the city for the bandits and suffered too many casualties. In desperation, we waited
We can only retreat to the north bank of Songjiang before the bandits send troops to Songjiang."
After listening to what Liang Shichuan said, Tie Mo suddenly became furious, slapped the desk and shouted coldly, "That's nonsense, Liang Shichuan, you're deceiving me that I just came to Jiangnan, don't you know what happened in Meizhu Town? As far as I know, Yue
The former state capital once transported food in batches to Meizhu Town. The food there was enough to feed an army of 40,000 for more than two months. You only had 20,000 people when you were full, but you ate all the food in half a month. You really didn't think so.
Is the Supervisor so easy to deceive?"
"Superintendent, we dare not lie. The state government did distribute a lot of grain, but General Mo later discovered that most of the grain in stock had turned into straw. What I said is absolutely true. If there is any falsehood,
The sky is thundering!" Liang Shichuan looked sincere and sad, but Liang Wanzong on the side, seeing his father like this, roared and said with tears in his eyes, "Dad, what do you ask him to do? You are obviously the same as me. I thought the Iron Supervisor was the best."
Ying Ming will uphold justice for rough guys like us. When I saw him today, I was filled with straw."
"Unbridled" Shang Kexi, who had been listening on the sidelines, was furious when he saw Liang Wanzong making rude remarks. Tie Mo stretched out his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, haha, Liang Wanzong, you said that I falsely accused Laier and others, then I
I have to ask you, every time the imperial court transports grain, don’t you send your close associates to check it, or are you so blind that you can’t even tell the difference between straw and rice grain?”
