The two corpses placed on the ground were wrapped in white cloth and exposed their faces. Old Man Liu stepped forward and looked at them and confirmed: "That's right, this is the magistrate and General Jiang."

"Huang Yi and Jiang Qin, the magistrate of Jiangpu, are also good officials, and their reputations are not well-known. Unexpectedly, they sacrificed their lives for justice and denounced the thief chiefs, and they were so strong. You Jiangpu people should build a hall for them, and they are full of incense." Hou Xuanyan couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this.

The old man saw that this young man was very stylish, but his clothes were extremely ordinary and he could not see the grade. It turned out that Hou Xuanyan had a sticky sweat and casually asked the Huotuying to have an ordinary military uniform and put it on his body.

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly said to them: "This is Duke Yue of the current dynasty and Governor of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hu, Guanghou."

Looking across the river from Jiangpu Town and Jinling, they naturally knew the reputation of Hou Xuanyan. The old man hurriedly took his fellow villagers to bow down.

Hou Xuanyan struggled to stand up and wanted to go forward to help him, but unexpectedly, after strenuous exercise, it would be fine if he didn't sit. Once he sat down and got up, his whole legs were so sore that it made people unable to stand.

Hou Xuanyan went forward and fell in love. Suddenly, the exhausted soldiers lost their usual reactions and had no time to support him. Hou Xuanyan fell down, and Liu Zhong had a ghost in his heart, and his head was the most ruthless, but he did not avoid it.

The people were all focused on the Duke and came forward to help him. Qin He was going to drive him away if he had bad eyes.

The leader of the old man Liu screamed strangely. Qin He was shocked, grabbed the knife in his hand, and looked at the surviving people vigilantly.

Old Man Liu met a ghost and stared at him, "It's him, it's him."

Hou Xuanyan patted the dust on his body, frowned and asked, "Do you know me?"

Old Man Liu pointed to Liu Zhong on the ground and said, "It's him, he is the culprit of murder, and the county magistrate was killed by him."

Liu Zhong's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, and he suddenly hurt someone and went straight to Hou Xuanyan, trying to hold him hostage and escape from the sky. I have to say that this guy is very brave, and this is his only chance. Unfortunately, the scene just now has already aroused the alertness of the guards' personal soldiers. He was subdued by Qin He as soon as he moved. Qin He slashed heavily on Liu Zhong's calves directly in front of Liu Zhong's calves. The crackling sound and Liu Zhong's wailing sound resounded in everyone's heart.

Hou Xuanyan sat back on the chair, holding the handle, and sneered slightly: "You didn't die just now. It's not your luck. If you are in my hands, you will be considered unlucky."

Liu Zhong raised his head, endured the severe pain from his calves, his head was covered in sweat, his eyes turned and begged for mercy: "Duke, you have a lot of me. As long as you spare my life, the young general is willing to lead the horse and hold the whip for you and serve the Duke."

Hou Xuanyan sneered: "Open your dog's eyes and take a look. What a hero I am surrounded by. A pickled villain like you, will you hold a horse and hold a whip for me? You are worthy of it."

Old Man Liu led the people to kneel down and cry, "Duke, it's this demon, he killed the villagers in the city, and ask the Duke to make the decision for us."

Liu Zhong felt sad. Hou Xuanyan had a bad reputation, especially when he was arrested by the Qing soldiers and traitors, he often died in great pain. Thinking of what the two little officials said to him before his death, Liu Zhong felt extremely frightened.

Hou Xuanyan looked at the two corpses on the ground, and they collided with their foreheads and died for their country. Both literature and martial arts are strong and strong, and in this small town of Jiangqi, they are enough to be recorded in history. What they most valuable is not their achievements, but their integrity and glorious spirit that has shining for generations.

Hou Xuanyan asked his subordinates to find Liu Zhong's men, but there were still more than a thousand people. Hou Xuanyan frowned and asked, "Is the Qing army pioneer who has completely wiped out outside Jiangpu City, isn't Liu Zhong's men who slaughtered the city?"

Qin He, who was next to him, had just gone to catch people, and had already investigated the whole story of the matter clearly and said with a smile: "Liu Zhong and Zhang Dayuan who came from behind framed each other. Liu Zhong collided with Zhang Dayuan's men, causing them to be wiped out by us. He himself fled back to the back and was brought to the front line by Jiergalang. We killed Zhang Dayuan's men, but Liu Zhong was the one who slaughtered the city."

Liu Zhong himself was completely disappointed and knew that this was doomed, but his subordinates were still very optimistic. Since ancient times, the law has not blamed the crowd. There were thousands of people kneeling down, which made them feel a little more at ease.

Hou Xuanyan said to Zhang Huangyan around him: "Since the end of the Apocalypse, bandits have been rampant, and bandit suppression soldiers often acted as killing good people and taking credit for their achievements. After the Jiashen National Incident, it was heard that Han people slaughtered Seoul and abused their compatriots. This was because the cost of massacre was too small. Many people transformed into Ming army and could still receive military pay from the people to pay taxes. Where is the law of nature?"

Zhang Huangyan was worried, looked at the thousands of prisoners below and asked carefully: "What does the Duke mean?"

"Write a manifesto that spreads all over the world, but if any swords and weapons are added to the innocent people of our Han family, you will surrender and not accept them, and you will be killed without mercy." Hou Xuanyan pointed to Liu Zhong's subordinate in front of him and said sternly: "Start with the Jiangpu Massacre, let the world know their fate. If the soldiers and thieves are not eliminated, they will not prosper."

The next morning, Zhu Dadian, who arrived in the middle of the night, was waiting for Hou Xuanyan in front of the door early.

When Hou Xuanyan finally got up, dragged his tired body and washed up, Zhu Dadian stepped forward and said, "Duke, it's too late to get a rank, please punish him."

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "The water camp is full of firearms. The marching is slow, and it is like the navy. It cannot solve the urgent problem. Zhang Mingzhen came the earliest and did not rescue me, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Zhu Dadian wiped the sweat from his head. When the weather got up early in the morning, the weather became hot. Hou Xuan spoke: "We have gathered together and the army is in full swing. We will repair it here for three days. The Qing soldiers will not attack rashly for a while. Just hold their main force and wait for the other groups of people to spread the news frequently."

Zhu Dadian nodded and said yes. He was originally planning to make suggestions to Hou Xuanyan. When he heard that the Duke and his thoughts were consistent, he felt relieved.

Hou Xuanyan sighed and said, "Take the past few days to avenge the tens of thousands of people in Jiangpu first."

Zhu Dadian didn't know why, and he didn't know what was going on, but when he heard Hou Xuanyan's voice was cold, he knew that someone was going to be in trouble.

The Northern Expedition Army, with more than 200 surviving people, interrogated the Qing soldiers who massacred the city and recorded the people they had killed on the case. They escorted them from door to door to compare one by one.

Jiangpu is a small town for firing ceramics. Although Pu Kiln is not famous, it is extremely large in scale. However, Pu Kiln follows the people's route. Most of the ceramics fired are daily necessities for the people, and no fine products are released. But today, Pu Kiln is about to usher in the most terrifying firing after its completion.

More than 3,000 people under Liu Zhong slaughtered the city, and the tendons of the hand and foot were broken. They were fixed in a kneeling position with iron rings and nails, and they were covered with clay naked.

While they were still alive, they were stuffed into kilns to make a utensil. These clays were known for their stickiness and would not break even if the people inside struggled a little.

From then on, in the ancestral hall built by Jiangpu County for two officials who died for their country, more than 3,000 porcelain men knelt outside the hall, behind them were marked with the names of the head of the killing and the family.

Hou Xuanyan, who was still Duke of Yue at that time, wrote a couplet himself:

Yousheng, Jiangpu was fortunate to bury the two Zhonglie;
Chapter completed!
