Cao Ben didn't know how many times he thought about dying. He just wanted to hit that man's blade and wash away his shame with his blood. But he didn't dare and couldn't bear to die. He only wanted to think about the house in Beijing, his wife and family at home.
Aunts, he felt that it would be better to stay alive, even if...
It was freezing under my crotch.
Cao Ben had veins floating on his forehead. The person who held him hostage, afraid that he would run away, even tore off his belt. The pants under his robe were now piled on his ankles. Every time he walked around, he could feel the pain coming from him.
The pull of pants.
When everyone saw this Beijing-based official, Mr. Cao Ben's thighs were bare and his face was covered with dirt. His arms were dripping with blood, and there were gullies left by cold sweat and tears on his face.
.
This Shangguan was in such a state of embarrassment that Xie Chen couldn't help but avert his eyes after looking at him. Cao Ben's ugly behavior reminded him of the Grand Tutor's party.
Cao Ben was still shouting, which showed how much he wanted to survive.
There were many people around the city, including government officials and ordinary people, all watching the excitement here. Cao Ben never expected that it would be like this when the people in the city paid homage to Shangguan.
Cao Ben staggered and almost fell to the ground. Thanks to Zou Guangda who grabbed his arm, Zou Guangda thought Cao Ben was trying to play tricks. After picking him up, he even kicked him hard. Zou Guangda's eyes were filled with tears.
The red thread seemed to be glowing with blood, and the whole person was gradually going crazy.
Cao Ben's mind was full of anger. If he still had a chance, he would crush this man to ashes. No, he would kill all Feng's party members in order to avenge his previous shame.
Cao Ben thought this in his heart and couldn't control the tears that continued to flow down. There were already several cuts on his neck. Although the cuts were not deep, the blood had already soaked through his collar.
"Save me quickly," Cao Ben finally saw Zhao Jingyun in the crowd, "I came to Taozhou on orders from the imperial court."
The implication is that he still has uses.
As long as he lives, everything he sees will be reported to the court.
But soon Cao Ben felt that it was of no use whether he said it or not, because he saw the gratitude in the crowd.
Xie Chen is still in good condition, no different from when he entered the city, at least his character is still there. As long as Xie Chen is here, he is no longer important.
But Cao Ben still wanted to live.
"Send a horse." Zou Guangda shouted. He wanted to pull Cao Ben forward. After getting out of the range of the bow and arrow, he left Cao Ben and rode away.
"hurry up."
As long as Zhao Jingyun slowed down a little, Zou Guangda started to cut Cao Ben's neck, making Cao Ben feel the fear of dying every time. Such torture made Cao Ben realize that life is worse than death.
Zhao Luoyang stood on the tower, looking at Cao Ben's situation, but before she could see clearly, her eyes closed.
At this moment, Zhao Luoyang felt that his physical strength was being taken away, obviously because of Shi Jiu.
"You can't look at it," Shi Jiu said, "He's not wearing pants."
Zhao Luoyang turned her head, and Shi Jiu no longer controlled her eyelids.
"How many health points did you spend?" Zhao Luoyang asked immediately.
Shi Jiu was silent for a moment before saying: "Six o'clock."
"It's such a waste," Zhao Luoyang said, "You can remind me."
Shi Jiu said: "It's too late, I'm afraid you'll see it."
Although Zhao Luoyang didn't see it clearly, she could imagine that Mr. Cao still had a robe outside, so it would be okay to see it, but she didn't dare to say this to Shi Jiu.
She subconsciously felt that Shi Jiu would be angry.
Because it cost 6 health points.
Zhao Luoyang was thinking about it when suddenly a notification sound came from the system.
[Character Card Mission: Get Bai out of the village to complete]
Is Mrs. Bai out?
Shi Jiu said: "There was such a big commotion in the city, and Mrs. Bai couldn't help but come out to see what was going on."
This was a good thing. Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu had thought before that Mrs. Bai might walk out of the village, but they didn't expect it to come true.
Zhao Luoyang said: "I don't know where Mrs. Bai is hiding, but it doesn't matter. It'll be fine if we know she comes out." As long as she comes out, her heart will also be alive.
In this way, Zhao Luoyang can tentatively arrange the next step.
…
The heat was almost over, Cao Ben had been humiliated, and the people could see it clearly. By tying up Shangguan, Zou Guangda and others were more clearly accused.
And Zou Guangda has a relationship with Feng Antai. Even if the Feng family abandons this manager, they can't get away easily.
Just when the yamen led the horses to Zou Guangda, the archers under Xue Ding found an opportunity and shot an arrow through Zou Guangda's arm. Zou Guangda was in pain and the dagger fell from his hand. The yamen on both sides immediately saw this.
He stepped forward and pushed Zou Guangda to the ground.
Cao Ben crawled on the ground and took a few steps forward. After realizing that he was not in danger, his feet gave out and he collapsed completely on the ground. At this moment, Cao Ben wanted to cry, but he finally survived.
"Master Cao," Xie Chen stepped forward and reminded, "it's better to put on your pants first. There are people around you. How do you behave like this?"
"Master Xie," Cao Ben stretched out his hand to pull Xie Chen's leg as if he had seen a relative, "This official has suffered a serious crime."
Xie Chen smelled the smell of feces and urine on Cao Ben from a long way away. Who knew what Cao Ben was holding in his hands, so he took two steps to the side in disgust, leaving Cao Ben to miss.
Cao Ben looked at Xie Chen sadly.
Xie Chen turned away and took a deep breath and said: "I know that you are doing it for the people of Taozhou. You must make decisions for the people when you live. As long as you can take down all those vicious people and bring peace to Taozhou, the people will only
I am so grateful to you that even if I mention what happened to you today, I will bear the burden of humiliation."
Xie Chen knew that Cao Ben didn't want to die. In this case, he just went with the flow. But after he finished speaking, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if someone had deliberately left these words for him.
Alas, it was getting weirder and weirder. Xie Chen sighed in his heart again. It was obvious that no one was threatening him, but he just felt that he couldn't help himself.
Zhao Jingyun ordered the officials to help Cao Ben away. If Cao Ben was not still useful, this thing would be like falling into a manure cellar, dirty inside and outside. Who would care about it.
"Thank you, Sir." Zhao Jingyun saluted Xie Chen. "Everyone in the city has been captured, but we still have to interrogate one by one. Please thank Sir, Sir Xue and I go to the government office to discuss this matter."
Xue Ding immediately waved his hand: "I'm just passing by and have important matters to attend to. Since Taozhou is fine, I'll take the people away."
Zhao Jingyun showed an unexpected expression.
Xie Chen didn't know what to say. Xue Ding killed Zhu Youqing, turned around and left again, as if all this really had nothing to do with him.
He clearly knew that they were all acting, but he couldn't tell them apart.
Xue Ding looked at Xie Chen: "Anyway, Shangguan has been watching what I did. When the court asks, I will trouble Shangguan to say a few words for me."
As expected, he is waiting for him here.
Xie Chen could only agree. In this situation, he had no choice.
…
Zhao Luoyang came down from the tower and saw Zhao Xuejing and Zhao Xueyi walking over supporting her father.
Her father's legs were tied with a cloth, and blood could be seen oozing out.
"It's okay," Zhao Xueli waved his hand, "I was stabbed by the Ding Family Nursing Home to save others. The wound is not deep and has been given medicine. It will be fine in a few days."
The wound was indeed not deep, and Zhao Xueyi saw it from the sidelines.
Zhao Xuejing found a stone pillar for Zhao Xueli to sit down and rest.
Zhao Luoyang saw that her father didn't look very good. When her third uncle and fourth uncle went to look for the donkey cart, she whispered: "Dad, did something else happen?"
"It's nothing," Zhao Xueli said, "I'm just a little surprised when I see some things... Just take it easy and it'll be fine."
Her father didn't explain clearly, but Zhao Luoyang also vaguely guessed it, so he didn't ask further. He would wait until he returned to the village to talk about it.
Those who colluded with the Feng family in the city were either sent to Yizhuang after death, or were escorted to the government office. After a whole day of turmoil, the city gradually calmed down.
Everyone went to Beicheng one after another. Several large pots in Beicheng were filled with cooked meals. The refugees could have a hearty meal today.
The emigrants and ordinary people are also preparing to return to the village.
Zhao Xuejing and Zhao Xueli drove the car. Zhao Luoyang helped Zhao Xueli sit on it. The other car pulled Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanbao. Most of the items collected by Niu Xing and others were clothes and shoes. These things were collected by the government office.
It's useless to keep it, it's just good to distribute it to the immigrants.
Mrs. Yang and her family members had returned to the village early and were preparing meals. They had been busy all day and wanted everyone to eat early.
The donkey cart arrived at Fengxia Village. When a few people entered the village, they found that Fengxia Village today was a little different from usual. The village was full of people and seemed particularly lively.
