Chapter 45 My father is an otaku and doesn't like meeting people
As soon as the master became irritable, his emotions quickly spread to the people below. Wang Yuluan took the lead and rushed forward regardless of the sword wounds on his body. When the subordinates saw this, their emotions were aroused, and their combat effectiveness increased sharply.
Across the crowd, Zhao Cheng looked at a tree not far away. The carambola branch stood straight up on the branch, like a pretty plum.
Zhao Cheng shook his head gently, indicating that she didn't need to take action.
"Cheer up! The wages I will give you will be increased tenfold! Those who kill the enemy will be rewarded heavily!!"
Xiao Luomu shouted sharply. As expected, the morale of those followers who were still fighting greatly increased, and their explosive power was astonishing. Wang Yuluan and others who had just gained momentum were suppressed again.
The emotions of both groups were rising and they would not give up until the other party was killed. Zhao Wu no longer needed to throw wooden sticks to add to the fun.
After going back and forth for a long time, both groups of people finally couldn't bear it anymore. Except for those who fell down and lost their breath, the rest were lying on the ground gasping for air.
Only Wang Yuluan, covered in blood, was half-kneeling in the crowd, panting.
Wang Yuluan looked at Zhao Cheng, his eyes filled with anger, confusion, resentment, and helplessness...
Zhao Wu stopped in front of Zhao Cheng and put his hand on the handle of the knife.
Wang Yuluan suddenly stood up, turned around and ran away.
Zhao Wu was stunned by this run. He stopped in front of Zhao Cheng to prevent Wang Yuluan from going crazy and biting people. After all, he had a strong look and looked like he wanted to die with Zhao Cheng...
Zhao Cheng nodded to the carambola branch on the tree branch, and the carambola branch followed Wang Yuluan.
"Zhao Wu!!"
"exist!"
"This place is less than ten miles away from Yanchuan City. You actually dare to openly assassinate the Prime Minister in front of this young general. It is simply lawless! Take them all back to Yanchuan and hand them over to the inspection master!!"
"yes!"
Zhao Cheng looked at Xiao Luomu on the side and asked, "Xiao Xiangye, is there no problem with this arrangement?"
Xiao Luomu was a little confused by Zhao Cheng's sudden display of momentum, and nodded dully.
"You and your... soldiers must also go with us."
"It should be..."
Zhao Wu looked at the weak people with a sad face.
Zhao Cheng saw this and said: "You are stupid, tie them up quickly!"
"Master, there are many of them, but I am the only one..."
"Tie them up into skewers with ropes and take them away! Just like you skewer meat, do you understand??"
"Then what should I do if they resist on the road? What should I do if they want to run away?"
"Don't you know how to pick out their hamstrings first? Oh no, they still have to walk to Yanchuan River on their feet, so pick out their hamstrings! Will they do it? Just like you pick out the shrimp threads before grilling them.
…”
As he listened, Xiao Luomu shuddered, thinking to himself who these people were!
The hands and feet of useless people created the illusion of barbecue!
Is the cultural environment in Yanchuan so bad?
Wang Yuluan's people also begged for mercy: "Don't pick on me, I will never run away!"
"Don't waste us, we still have to support our families!"
"I have an eighty-year-old mother at home..."
"As long as you don't kill me, I will choose shrimp for you for the rest of your life..."
…
night.
Yanchuan General's Mansion.
Wang Yuluan was taking a bath in the back room, washing away the blood from his body, while Xue Yun was waiting in the outer room, restless.
"Luan'er, these people you brought with you are the best among the best in the house. Why haven't any of them come back?!"
Wang Yuluan's voice came from the back room: "Originally, Zhao Cheng was bound to die! But this idiot came from nowhere. Not only was he deceived by Zhao Cheng, but he also asked his people to help Zhao Cheng block the knife! I was so angry.
!”
"Now is not the time to complain." Xue Yun frowned and said, "It's fine that all the people you brought are dead, but now there are still people alive..."
"Don't worry, mother! I have already given them three times the settlement fee. Our Wang family is kind to them. Even if they bite their tongues and commit suicide, they will not betray me."
"That's good..." Xue Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just stay at home these days and don't run out."
"My brother's revenge will not be avenged?"
"Give him some time off for a few days. Your father will go off to war tomorrow. We have to be patient."
"I just killed Zhao Cheng to sacrifice the flag to my father!"
boom!
The door was kicked open, and Yang Taozhi, wearing black training clothes and covering his face, walked in.
She held a thin sword in her hand, the tip of which was dripping with blood.
"Ah!!" Xue Yun exclaimed: "Who are you? How did you get in?!"
Yang Taozhi raised his sword, blood splashed on Xue Yun's face, and Xue Yun stepped back in fright.
Wang Yuluan didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He only had a pair of underwear all over his body, blocking his mother behind him.
"I think it will be easy to enter this general's mansion. The few guards at the door are a lesson."
Yang Taozhi pointed his sword at Wang Yuluan and said, "Do you still want Zhao Cheng to sacrifice the flag?"
Wang Yuluan said gloomily: "Are you from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"I'm asking you now."
"Yes!" Wang Yuluan was heartbroken and said angrily: "Zhao Cheng killed my brother. I have never dreamed of killing Zhao Cheng to avenge my brother!"
"Brotherhood is deep and touching." Yang Taozhi waved his sword, but she didn't take a step forward. Xue Yun, who was protected by Wang Yuluan behind him, suddenly felt liquid on his face.
A bloodstain appeared on her cheek.
"Ah, ah! Luan'er!!"
"mother!!"
"Your mother can't die. I'm just telling you that if you still want to cause trouble for Zhao Cheng, then I will let your mother accompany your brother first. As you can see, this is easy for me."
Yang Taozhi turned around and walked to the door and said again: "Wang Yuluan, you have to thank your father. If you hadn't thought of leaving him behind when he went to war for the country, you would be by the river outside the city today.
You have become a corpse."
"Don't be as reckless as your brother, so you can take care of yourself."
Seeing Yang Taozhi leave, Wang Yuluan let out a long breath and sat down on the ground.
Xue Yun was not much better, his face turned pale with fear.
"It turns out that Zhao Cheng knows everything."
"He was waiting for me on purpose!"
"Mom...can our brother still avenge this revenge?"
…
"Hit, I'll do it all!"
"In the glorious and prosperous age of Jingguo, how could I dare to kill anyone? I was forced to do so!"
"Yes, yes, we are all forced to do so!"
Zhao Cheng and Deng Fugui, the Minister of Punishment of the Eastern Capital, sat behind a screen and listened to the inspector interrogating Xiao Luomu and his party and Wang Yuluan.
Zhao Cheng chuckled and said: "Hey, this guy is quite educated!"
"That's not even one-tenth as good as Mr. Xiang!" Deng Fugui quickly gave a thumbs up.
"Master Deng, your flattery is a bit crooked. I have never read, I am just illiterate!"
"It doesn't matter if the flattery is crooked or not, it just depends on whether it is there or not!" Deng Fugui said sternly: "When the right prime minister comes back, I'd like to ask the young prime minister..."
"I dare not agree to this. My father is a homebody and doesn't like to meet people!"
Zhao Cheng, who is Deng Fugui, is well aware that he is in his fifties and no longer wants to be employed by the Western Capital and then climb up the ladder. He has long accepted the imperial court's arrangements for his senior care and only wants to be rich and noble in Yanchuan.
He spent the rest of his life, so he always wanted to hug Zhao Huan's lap.
It's just that Zhao Huan never sees guests, so he can't find opportunities.
"Don't be discouraged, Mr. Deng." Zhao Cheng comforted, "Let's take the road step by step first and finish this case."
Deng Fugui nodded quickly, understanding the meaning of Zhao Cheng's words.
In the hall, the inspector asked, "Tell me, who forced you?"
"General Wang's youngest son, Wang Yuluan!"
"Wang Yuluan!" Xiao Luomu, who was standing by, was stunned. He glanced left and right, but did not see Zhao Cheng.
