First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 326

...

The sound of the conversation spread to the shack, and the old, middle and young people were shocked.

"This... this is the voice of that rogue," the little boy said in a panic.

As soon as the words fell, the old woman picked up the child and stepped back, "Grandson, run away, don't fall into their hands, remember, you will be a famous general in the future."

"Yes, yes", the middle-aged lady also reacted, "Quickly run from behind, the farther you run, the better, find a way out of the city to find you, Aye".

The dilapidated and airy shack couldn't hide the sound, and the yamen servant who was more than ten steps away heard the voice inside swearing, "It's really Cheng Mingzhen's family, brothers, you must be captured alive."

"Grandma, grandma", the little boy was pushed out from the hole in the back of the shack by the two, and suddenly panicked, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Let's go".

"Quite obedient".

The two women, one old and one middle school, said angrily.

"Zhiniang thief", the yamen servant kicked open the broken wooden door of the shack, "You still want to run? Brothers, block the back."

"Grandson, let's go!" The old woman took a wooden stick from the side and rushed forward.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman took out a hairpin from her bosom and stabbed at the man, crying, "You must live."

"Go away, old thing", the yamen servant kicked the old woman over, and then saw the middle-aged woman rushing towards him, and hurriedly turned sideways to dodge, one mistake, the middle-aged woman stabbed her arm with a hairpin.

"Ah, you bitch", the yamen servant, suffering from pain, turned around and slapped the woman, throwing the woman to the ground.

The little boy ran away without looking back. He heard voices behind him, but he couldn't stop. He knew that the group of thieves were here to catch them. Because the thieves couldn't beat him, Aye, they came to vent their anger on them.

Must live, find Aye, and then come back to save Grandma and Grandma, the little boy thought to himself, not daring to stop, turning left and right and shuttling between the low houses and shacks.

The yamen servant who was chasing after him gritted his teeth with hatred. If he was in a wide area, he would be able to catch up with the child easily.

But these places are the huts where migrant slaves live, low and messy, the children's bodies are very small and nimble, drilling holes here and making twists and turns, they managed to get rid of several grown men.

"Leader Li, this is his old lady in Cheng Ming Mansion, this is his wife," a sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked rogue stepped forward and pointed at the two middle-aged women to ask for credit.

The head of the yamen service team surnamed Li glanced at the words, "Master Li of the Yi family works in the yamen, how can he not recognize it."

Immediately rubbing the wound on his shoulder, he grinned at the middle-aged woman and said, "I never thought Mrs. Li would be so vicious."

"You son of a bitch, my husband will definitely avenge me in the future," Li Bantou's slap cracked the corner of Li Shi's mouth, Li Shi spat out a mouthful of blood, and said angrily.

Li Bantou was stunned when he heard the words.

At this time, several government servants who were chasing the little boy came back panting.

"Where are people?" Seeing how many people came back empty-handed, Bantou Li asked with a stare.

"Squad, squad leader, I'm lost." The yamen servant lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "That little thief is very clever, he can't be seen without turning around."

"Trash, a few strong men can't catch a child," Li Bantou scolded angrily.

The faces of the two women relaxed when they heard the words, the old woman straightened her clothes and said slowly: "Leader Li, keep a line in your life, so as to leave a way out for the future.

My son uses soldiers like a god, and Tang Jun is unparalleled in bravery. May I ask how long those rebels can last?My Cheng family is a native of Mingzhou, you must know it too."

"Who are you scaring, old woman?" The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked rogue immediately sneered and said, "Now it's the king of Han Dong."

Li Bantou seemed to listen to the words for a while, took a deep look at the old woman, did not act violently, and stopped the rascal, "Take them back and hand them over to Fan Xianggong, and let the King of Handong dispose of them."

Then he turned his head to look at those yamen servants, "Go ahead and catch that kid."

In a haystack that is only a mile away in a straight line, the little boy was crying, curled up into a ball, trembling all over, and whispered through gritted teeth, "Grandma, grandma, Tinger will definitely rescue you."

"What, caught Cheng Mingzhen's family?" Zuo Pushe Fan Yuan was quite pleasantly surprised.

The newly appointed magistrate of Yongnian nodded straightly when he heard the words, and then bowed his head and said, "It's just that Cheng Mingzhen's son escaped."

"Son of Cheng Mingzhen?" Fan Yuan looked unhappy. In his opinion, Cheng Mingzhen dared to fight against the King of Han Dong, so the family should be exterminated. "How old is it?"

"No more than six or seven years old," the county magistrate replied with his head bowed.

"Where can a six or seven-year-old child escape, continue to search," Fan Yuan snorted coldly.

"Then how should Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Li deal with it?" the county magistrate respectfully asked.

Mrs. Pan is Cheng Mingzhen's mother, and Mrs. Li is Cheng Mingzhen's wife.

"Cut it off, and send the head to the front line," Fan Yuan gritted his teeth, "Cheng Mingzhen doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, so he must let him know the fate of opposing the King of Han Dong."

The county magistrate was startled and hurriedly responded.

After the magistrate left, Fan Yuan picked up the tea and drank it down, his eyes were full of sternness, "Cheng Mingzhen, you have made me ashamed, so I will let you taste the pain of losing your mother and wife."

When Cheng Mingzhen was beating drums at Hongshan outside the city, Fan Yuan was so frightened that he hurriedly asked for help. After Liu Heitai returned to his division, he found that Fan Yuan had been tricked. Fan Yuan was ridiculed because of this. Tens of thousands of troops defended the city, but was beaten by dozens of drums. Frightened and urgently asked for help, Fan Yuan felt great hatred in his heart.

Thinking of this, Fan Yuan took out a military order from his pocket, which was written by Liu Heita.

The first half instructs to strengthen the city defense, and the second half instructs Fan Yuan to search Cheng Mingzhen's family members, and there is a sentence "need to treat each other with courtesy".

Perhaps, Fan Yuan also knew the purpose of Liu Heitai's search for Cheng Mingzhen's family. With a twist of his mouth, Fan Yuan threw the general order into the brazier and turned it into ashes.

On the north bank of Mingshui, Liu Heita became furious and kicked the overturning desk. The two boxes on the desk rolled to the ground, revealing two women's heads.

"How can he, Fan Yuan, be so bold and dare to defy the military order?" Liu Heitai pointed at the bloody head on the ground and cursed.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Mingzhen fought against the Master Wang and repeatedly attacked our Liang Dao, so he should be severely punished," the army Cao Zhan said with a cold snort.

"You know what a fart," Liu Heitai reprimanded directly: "Cheng Mingzhen was known for being good at governing when he was under King Xia, and now he is also very capable of using troops. His family is in hand, just to persuade him to surrender, and I use it ".

Seeing his younger brother being scolded, Shangshu Cao Dan said directly: "Since Cheng Mingzhen voted for the Tang Dynasty, it may be difficult for him to return."

"In any case, you can always try it." Liu Heikai calmed down and sat back in his seat. "If this king wants to become a hegemony, he needs to recruit heroes from all over the world. This act of mutilating women and children must never be done."

All the generals heard the words and promised, and praised the benevolence and righteousness of the Eastern King of Han Dynasty.

It's just that the two bloody heads on the ground are particularly dazzling in this scene.
