Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 26 Kill 21 person

"Do it."

None of the soldiers who had followed Meng Sixing had their hands stained with blood.

Yang Zheng ordered several soldiers nearby and beheaded 21 of them on the spot.

The hot blood splashed onto the falling snowflakes, and his head fell on the snow.

The body fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Yu Youcai covered his daughter's eyes, feeling frightened by what he saw.

The group that was closer screamed out in surprise and turned their backs to huddle together.

This is the official. In the eyes of the official, they, the common people, are no different from wild dogs on the road. Whether they live or die is just a word from the official.

The night obscured the horrific scene, but the thick smell of blood stimulated everyone's nerves.

"Master Meng." Chu Mufeng brought the grain cart back. Hearing that Meng Changqing wanted to kill people, he came to check the situation. When he arrived, all the people had been killed.

The soldiers wiped the blood off the blades, put away the knives and moved the bodies.

"Wait." Meng Changqing stepped forward, "I want to check."

After confirming that each one's head and body were separated, the soldiers were allowed to move away.

Meng Changqing walked up to the people and shouted loudly: "Don't pity them, everyone will die sooner or later. If you let them go tonight, you will be the ones who die tomorrow!"

It is better for them to die than for you to die.

Don't be in a daze, sleep when you need to sleep, and work when you need to work! "

"Master." Bafang held the horse and watched Meng Changqing pass in front of him, but he didn't dare to follow him.

Laicai ran from Wen's side, glared in all directions, and followed Meng Changqing into the Yamen cave.

"Master." Laicai chased him to the cave and saw his young master lighting the charcoal basin. He went over to take over the work from Meng Changqing, "Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it wasn't me who died, and it wasn't me who did anything." Meng Changqing tightly wrapped his cloak, "I have to go out and talk to Capt. Li."

"Master..." Lai Cai turned around and could only see the swaying door curtain.

Meng Changqing took a few steps back to the ground, and by the light of several fires in the camp, he found two groups of government officials gathered around the fire.

"Mr. Meng." Li Ting and other government officials stood up immediately when they saw Meng Changqing coming.

"Sit down, everyone, sit down and talk. You have worked hard to deliver food. Our place is in the wilderness, and it is extremely crude to make a shed to keep out the snow." Meng Changqing said as he set up the iron pot, "I feel sorry for you all to rest here."

"What did Master Meng say?" Li Ting didn't know what she was doing to set up the pot, but he was used to helping. "The conditions in Beishan County are difficult, and it won't be easy for you either. Let's warm up here and leave when it gets light."

"What are you doing holding the pot?" asked a Yamen servant.

Meng Changqing: "There's nothing to entertain. I'll treat you all to a bowl of hot porridge."

"This is impossible." Li Ting held down the rice bag, "I know you don't have much food, and we have our own salary from the state government."

"Yes, Master Meng, let's just drink some hot water."

Meng Changqing opened the bag stubbornly, "There is little food, but a lot of it is in these two handfuls of rice. It's almost five o'clock. It's a difficult time. Only by having food in the stomach can we withstand the cold. I and others Several brothers from the Royal Forest Army also want to eat."

Add water and rice and cover the pot.

Meng Changqing began to tell Li Ting about the murder just now.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li, please go back and tell Mr. Futai about this.

The crime they committed did not deserve the death penalty.It stands to reason that it would be best if I hand them over to you, and you can take them back to the government prison and lock them up.

But it is more than 20 miles from here to the city wall of Yangmen County. There is no guarantee that they will not be rescued by the people on the mountain. I am afraid that they will not come back for a long time. There are already watchers on the dangerous mountain.

Once discovered by them and those people are in your hands, I'm afraid you will also be in danger.I killed these people, and if Mr. Futai blames them, I will come to receive the punishment personally. "

Li Ting said: "Don't worry, Mr. Meng, my subordinates will explain to Mr. Futai exactly what happened at that time."

The water in the pot is boiling, and a few rice grains are tumbling in it.

"Bafang, what's going on over there? Why did I listen to the young master talking about immortality? How did the young master deal with those people?" Liang tweeted.

"killed."

"Kill them all?" Wen asked.

Bafang nodded, "I took a look at it from a distance. It was quite scary. The young master even turned over and looked at each one."

Liang Jiujiu immediately gasped and didn't dare to turn around, Wen Shi rubbed her back and asked Bafang, "Where is the young master?"

"The young master is talking to the government officials."

Wen Shi nodded, "You really need to make it clear to the government officials. You should go and accompany the young master."

Wen helped Liang Jiujiu back to the cave where they were resting, "It's still warm inside." She saw Liang Jiujiu sitting stiffly on the bed and persuaded: "There is nothing wrong with what Changqing did, but if one of them is allowed to run out, the people on the mountain will be We will know the guard layout of the camp, and we will all be in danger of being killed in the future.

And those people who took the knife to us first should have thought that the knife would also fall on their own necks. "

"Madam, I don't care what happens to those people. I'm afraid that Changqing will be scared. She didn't dare to watch a chicken being killed in the house before." Liang Jiujiu stood up after saying this, "I have to go and see Changqing." .”

Wen Shi held her back and said, "She is talking to the government officials. We can't lose her face. We can wait until dawn when the government officials have left."

The so-called five-hundred-mile express means that the official document must be sent five hundred miles in one day and one night.

During this period, if the horse cannot hold up, you can change the horse, and if the messenger cannot hold up, you can change the messenger to the next station, but the distance of sending the official document must be reached.

Liangzhou City is more than 400 miles away from the capital. Even if it is [-] miles away, the official document will take five days to travel.

At dawn on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Changqing sent away the government officials and prepared to go back to his pit to rest for a while.

But as I walked, I started counting the hours in my mind.

In the end, she just sat on the steps beside the cave and thought, this news comes and goes, and it will take ten days on the road. Fortunately, the two months she mentioned are not counted from now.

Jie Wan attacked the Yan Kingdom just to grab food. It was impossible to say that there would be something to eat as soon as winter was over. They had to wait until the temperature rose, young leaves sprouted, and wild animals looked for food.

When Liang Jiujiu came to find Meng Changqing, he accidentally stepped on Meng Changqing's back.

"Why are you sitting here?" Liang Jiujiu knelt down and hugged her while no one was around. "Don't be afraid. Mom is here. Your eyes are bloodshot. Mom, please go sleep with you for a while."

"Mom, I'm not afraid."

"Even if you're not scared, you still need to get some sleep. You haven't closed your eyes all day and night."

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as the emperor came down from the morning court, Eunuch Qian in front of the emperor saw the small actions of Wei Zhishan, the commander of the imperial army.

This means that the secret report has arrived.

Eunuch Qian followed Commander Wei into a quiet place and said, "Eunuch, this is the tenth letter from Liangzhou."

"The tenth letter?" Eunuch Qian asked, "Where is the previous letter?"

"You don't know. According to the post envoy, this letter was sent to the capital along with the urgent official document from the Liangzhou Prefecture."

Eunuch Qian was suspicious, "Mr. Wei, is there anything wrong with what's on the envelope?"

"There are no mistakes, and I can confirm that the handwriting is Mu Feng's, and there are no traces of imitation."

"In this case, there must be something urgent. I will present it to Your Majesty."
