Blood from Daming

Chapter 368 Execution
After noon, Yu Anxing, the governor of Shanhaiguan, came to Xue Polu's big tent, and Yu Anxing sat for a long time before saying: "Polu, someone asked me to bring a message, willing to pay thousands of taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver to go back to the five houses." Polu, do you need to think about the lives of your family members?"

Xue Polu said: "My lord, the life of a humble soldier is priceless."

Yu Anxing said: "That's it, Polu will pretend that I didn't mention this matter."

Xue Polu said: "Thank you sir for understanding the difficulties of the humble position."

Yu Anxing hesitated for a while and said: "In the future, Polu will have to think more far ahead. Not every Shangguan understands you that much, and this time you have to be more careful when you come to Yizhou Mansion. Yuan Ningqian, Zu Dashouzhi Liu's heart may not be so broad."

Xue Polu was very moved when he heard Yu Anxing's words, and said: "Master Yu, I am really grateful to you inexplicably. One day I will break the prisoner but make progress, and I will surely repay you."

Yu Anxing said: "Polu, I'm glad that you are willing to serve the court as hard as you can. Well, I have something to do, so I will leave first."

Xue Polu said, "I'm humbled to send my lord out of the camp."

Xue Polu accompanied Yu Anxing to the gate, and Yu Anxing asked, "Polu, what happened today, is it okay to leave early tomorrow morning?"

Xue Polu replied: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely not delay any more in my humble position."

Yu Anxing said: "That's good, Polu, you stay."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, let's go."

Xue Polu watched Yu Anxing get out of General Xue's camp, and turned into his own camp within a few steps. Go to the account.

Xue Polu returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Yaojin waited in the big tent, and when he saw Xue Polu came back, he asked, "Second Uncle, Master Yu is here to intercede."

Xue Polu nodded and said, "Master Yu, I just came here for a walk to deal with the pleaders."

Lu Yaojin said: "Master Yu also understands that our Xue family army will never let people go. Hehe, our Xue family army must let the people in Liaodong know that the Xue family army will be punished no matter how far away it is."

Xue Polu said: "I don't know if we will take Mr. Yu with us when we retreat into North Korea."

Lu Yaojin said: "Let's go with the flow. When we arrive in North Korea, we will do more work to try to keep Mr. Yu. If it doesn't work, we will just send him back to the Ming Dynasty."

Xue Polu said: "Master Yu is a very good person, I'm afraid we will ruin his future this time."

Lu Yaojin smiled and said: "Hey, what's the point of doing this in this corrupt court now? In the future, it is not impossible for us to recommend Mr. Yu to the young master, and let Mr. Yu join the cabinet."

Xue Polu said: "If you want gold, you are right. Let's take one step at a time with Mr. Yu."

When the sun was about to set, two people came to the camp of the Xue family army. They told the soldiers guarding the gate of the Xue family army that they had come to surrender. Report.

Xue Polu brought a large number of generals, officers and soldiers to the gate, and the two surrendered themselves to the crime, claiming to be the murderers who burned the food and grass of Xue's army. .

Xue Polu didn't know whether Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji in front of him were real or not, so he ordered Niu San to identify the matter. Niu San had only met Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji a few times, so he wasn't sure if they were real or not. He had no choice but to seek the consent of Xue Polu, and went to find the soldiers from Zhonghousuo who had defected from the camp together.

In this way, Niu San brought soldiers who knew Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji to identify them, and finally confirmed that the two were Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji, Xue Polu was relieved.

After Xue Polu verified the bodies of Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji, the sun had already set on the hillside, and the Xue family army of the brigade escorted Wu Xiaoqi, Wu Sanji, Wu Zhengping, Wu Yaojun, Liu Dasha, Wang Tiezhu, and Cao Dun. , as well as the bodies of Wu Yougui, Zhang Dashan, Wu Xiaodai, Wu Dayou and Ma Xiaosan captured the day before, and the five families of Wu Sanfeng, Wu Xiaoqi, Wu Sanji, Wu Ermao, and Wu Ren. camp.

After leaving the big camp, Xue Polu saw that thousands of people from Zhonghou City had gathered not far away. These people all came to see the execution of Xue's army or to send the executioner to his death.

Xue Jiajun lined up Wu Xiaoqi, Wu Sanji, Wu Zhengping, Wu Yaojun, Liu Dasha, Wang Tiezhu, Cao Dun, Wu Yougui, Zhang Dashan, and Wu Xiaodai on the edge of a ravine not far from the gate. Kneeling, some of these people cried and regretted, and some cried for mercy.

Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji yelled the loudest, wanting the Xue family army to fulfill their promise of substitutions. Xue Polu ordered his officers and soldiers to bring Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji over, and in front of Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji In front of Xue Polu, seventeen members of his family members were released, and the men, women and children of the two families knelt not far from Xue Polu to beg for mercy for their relatives Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji.

Although the family members of Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji wept so much that the cuckoo cried blood, Xue Polu remained unmoved and ordered his officers and soldiers to drive away the family members of the death row prisoners, and put Wu Xiaoqi and Wu Sanji back into the ranks of beheading Go, at this time the Xue family army camp remembered three letter cannons.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

These three cannons signaled that they were about to kill someone, and at the same time as the cannons sounded, an old man and a young man came out of the crowd watching the killing field, and rushed straight to the gate of Xue's army. Xue Polu recognized that these two were Mrs. Wu and Wu Feng.

Xue Polu waited patiently for the two of them to approach slowly and leisurely, but it was true that Old Master Wu's old cold legs were not in control, standing in front of Xue Polu and still swaying, Xue Polu thought that no matter what, this old man He still had to do the look of loving the young, so he ordered his subordinates to bring a foldable armchair to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu thanked Xue Polu and sat on the armchair, and then said to Xue Polu tremblingly: "General Xue, can you see that the old dog is an official in the same dynasty as you, and you are right." Let the children of Zhonghousuo City be more generous."

Xue Polu was very speechless to Mrs. Wu, he didn't know if he was really a kind person, or he was trying to gain fame here, anyway, Xue Polu was very annoying, and Xue Polu had to deal with it carefully.

Old Mr. Wu kept sweeping behind Xue Polu. Xue Polu reckoned that Mr. Wu was looking for Mr. Yu Anxing. It seemed that Mr. Wu was going to be disappointed, because Yu Anxing didn't come to the scene to watch the ceremony and kill Mr. Yu in order to avoid suspicion. .

Xue Polu said: "My lord, just because this general and Wu Guerrilla are ministers in the same palace, otherwise my Xue family army will not only pursue these few people. These people are indeed the black sheep of Zhonghou's city. This general will serve as Zhonghou. Let's be a villain for once."

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Three more cannon blasts sounded, and Mrs. Wu shook several times. Mrs. Wu said, "Can I pay a lot of money to keep those family members alive?"

Xue Polu said: "My lord, this general needs to give an explanation to the whole battalion. If the criminal shows up by himself, this general will guarantee that his family will leave safely."

Old Master Wu said: "I understand what the general means, and I will try to bring the words to the table, but I don't know if I can ask the general to postpone the punishment of the three families."

Xue Polu was silent for a while and said: "Tomorrow when our army sets out to go north, if the three criminals don't turn themselves in when the camp is pulled out, then the family members will have to continue their crimes for them."

Old Mr. Wu said: "Then thank you, General. After the general's execution, the family members in Zhonghou City can collect the corpse."

Xue Polu said: "Yes, the two corpses yesterday can be carried away."

Old Mr. Wu said: "The old man will bid farewell to the general."
