The generals who were shocked to hear Liu Zeqing's death were not only shocked but also had many doubts: "Shouldn't the three of them be looking for a place to have fun? Why did they go to do this in person? Huang Degong muttered in confusion." The listeners agreed.
Continuously.
"When they first entered the city, they did go to the Yamen to have a drink first... But later I heard that Commander-in-Chief Gao went to the military camp first, and the two Commander-in-Chief Liu went after him. Unexpectedly, something happened." Fan Jiaqian sighed, Huang Degong
He curled his lips and said: "A few bastards got together, each one more shameless than the other for fear that the other would take advantage... It's no wonder."
"A general was killed for no reason. The matter must be investigated clearly." Li Yan's face darkened and he said to Fan Jiaqian: "Please, Eunuch Fan, please bring those prisoners. I will personally examine them."
"Why don't you just go to the city?" Wu Weiying looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, so everything should be fine."
Li Yan lowered his head and thought for a while and said to Liu Wenbing: "I would like to ask Lord Marquis to lead his troops into the city to guard the city. The rest of us will sit in the camp and not move. I will go into the city for a walk first."
"I'll go with you." Huang Degong smacked his lips. Li Yan looked back at him and said, "Uncle Jingnan, it's better to catch up on some sleep before you can drink again later."
Huang Degong chuckled and waved his hand.
Some people in Anqing City had already gotten up early, or in other words, many people had not slept last night. Although they did not know what happened specifically, they guessed from various movements that something must have happened.
But no one dared to go out on the streets, because at this time the city was under martial law, and there were patrolling troops everywhere in the streets and alleys, telling them not to go out unless there was nothing going on.
Liu Wenbing raised a thousand personal guards and followed Li Yan into the city. He immediately accepted the responsibilities of the original troops to patrol the city and guard the city. He also transferred all the remaining troops outside the barracks to prevent the prisoners inside from breaking out.
Liu Zeqing's body lay motionless in a pool of blood. He had been stabbed seventeen times in the chest and ribs: "At that time, four or five people gathered around and stabbed him randomly." Liu Zeqing's expression was still extremely nervous, and he dragged him
Li Yan's arm said: "We didn't even react at the time. Those thieves seemed to have gone crazy."
Li Yan looked away from the corpses and saw more than a dozen corpses lying not far away, with a dozen tied prisoners kneeling on the ground next to them.
"It's a trial. Why did they suddenly kill them?"
Cough cough cough, Huama Liu looked at Gao Jie who was silent next to him: "General Gao, you see it clearly, you can tell me."
"Fuck you, why can't I see it clearly when I sit with you?" Gao Jie spat, then walked to Li Yan and spread his hands: "We just want to scrape some oil and water, although this is shameful.
But there’s nothing that can’t be said, but Lao Liu seems to have gone too far..."
After Liu Zeqing was having fun in the yamen, he heard that Gao Jie had come to the military camp and hurried over. Seeing that Gao Jie had gathered all the surrendered soldiers in the military camp and asked his men to search them one by one, while Er Liu's men were staring at him, Liu Zeqing
He ran to Gao Jie angrily and said, "It's so shameless to eat alone."
Gao Jie chuckled: "How could it be? I'm just looking at the hard work of the two of you. Let's take it together and then divide it later."
"I dare not bother you." Liu Zeqing snorted, and then said: "I have the greatest credit for Anqing Xiancheng. Logically speaking, I should take the lion's share. Three thousand surrendered troops and two thousand belong to me, and the rest belongs to you two. But we
We are in a group, and thanks to the help of the two of us just now, I decided to share the one thousand each equally."
Gao Jie shrugged and looked at Huama Liu, and both of them nodded in agreement.
So each of them ordered his men to start searching for the belongings of the surrendered soldiers. Gao Jie was okay, he told his men to keep a secret in everything so that they could meet each other in the future. After all, those who surrendered were all their own, leaving some for others, but Er Liu was different.
, that was really searching people's homes inside and outside, even touching their mouths and anus, which made these prisoners very angry but they dared not speak out.
As the old saying goes, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. There were still a few unconvinced prisoners, and they began to push and shout with the officers and soldiers who were searching us: "Since we have surrendered, we are a family and not dead bodies, so why are we still being robbed?"
He has so much money and does so well..."
"Who gave it to your family? Where did your money come from? Didn't you rob the common people..." The officers and soldiers exchanged words with them. When the prisoners saw someone taking the lead, the rest followed suit. Thousands of people became commotion.
Even though they had no weapons in their hands, their aura made the officers and soldiers nervous, so they drew their swords and threatened: "Those who cause trouble will be shot without mercy." This finally calmed down the atmosphere a little.
But the leaders were unmoved: "We are not convinced and want to argue with your generals..."
"Damn, those young people with bare heads think they have a long life." Gao Jie and the other three were chatting on the stage, but when they heard what happened, they couldn't help but curse. Liu Zeqing snorted coldly: "The most useful thing is to kill a chicken to scare a monkey. Let's use them."
A few operations..."
"No" Gao Jie shook his head: "Li Yan ordered not to kill prisoners, you forgot..."
"He's not here, so what if we kill a few..." Huama Liu just opened his mouth and was shot back by Gao Jie: "There are thousands of people here with thousands of mouths, and you kill them all? What's more, there are people from Gongziying outside who are watching.
Well, although we don’t care about Li Yan, where is the governor..."
At the mention of Chang Yu, Huama Liu swallowed and stopped talking. Liu Zeqing snorted: "Isn't that your adopted brother? He won't kill you just because you killed a few prisoners."
Gao Jie chuckled: "Then why should I make him unhappy because of a few prisoners..."
"Then what should we do, let the riot continue?" Liu Zeqing's eyes became fierce: "Killing the prisoners directly is against military orders, but if the prisoners want to rebel... Hehe, then it is not called killing prisoners, it is called suppressing chaos!
"
"Well, why bother?" Gao Jie advised: "Li Yan already said that these surrendered troops would be assigned to Liu Tichun. Liu Tichun is also Li Yan's man. To put it bluntly, these soldiers will be Li Yan's soldiers in the future. He turned a blind eye.
It’s already a big favor for you to scratch his hands, so why do you need to do things so perfectly? You can just scratch less.”
"No." Liu Zeqing sneered and shook his head: "I have suffered too much loss along the way and must make up for it, unless you two don't give me your share."
"Also, it's up to you." Gao Jie and Liu Zhi shook their heads.
Liu Zeqing jumped off the general platform and walked toward the school ground. He shouted from afar: "I, Shandong General Soldier Liu Zeqing, whoever is dissatisfied can ask for help!"
"Commander Liu, we are not convinced." As soon as the troublemakers opened their mouths, Liu Zeqing rushed over, waved his flag and whipped his whip: "I ask you whether you are convinced, whether you are convinced..."
The prisoners were beaten so hard that they screamed and ran away, but Liu Zeqing pursued and beat them relentlessly, making some of the prisoners nearby extremely angry.
"Fuck them, they want to beat us to death. If we are all going to die, let's die together." A prisoner who was beaten suddenly had a hard expression on his face. He took out a sharp knife from his arms and pointed it at Liu Zeqing, who was chasing him and beating him.
He went up and struck with a knife, and immediately three or four more people rushed over, surrounded Liu Zeqing and stabbed him randomly. The officers and soldiers nearby drew their swords and rushed over to protect Liu Zeqing, but they were stopped by some prisoners nearby.
"Thieves who make trouble will be killed without mercy." Liu Zeqing's soldiers roared, and the officers and soldiers drew their swords and started slashing. In the blink of an eye, they saw more than ten prisoners who participated in the riot, slashing and killing them. They immediately suppressed the thousands of prisoners present and stayed there without daring to move.
.
However, over there, Liu Zeqing had been stabbed more than a dozen times by four or five prisoners, and returned to the west without even leaving a last word. This scene happened so fast and weird that neither Gao Jie nor Huama Liu could react.
, looking at Liu Zeqing in a pool of blood, dumbfounded...
After the prisoners stabbed Liu Zeqing to death, they abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender, shouting: "We want to see General Li Yan!"
After listening to what Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo said to each other, Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Does it mean that Liu Zeqing tortured the prisoners too much and forced them to commit murder?"
"Hey, General Li, you can't say that." Huama Liu quickly yelled, and Gao Jie grabbed him: "You are so damn stupid and fake." Huama Liu was startled, but then he came to his senses. Li Yan was
He said that it was actually to clear the relationship between the two of them, so he cupped his hands and said, "That's about it."
Li Yan asked the officers and soldiers next to him as well as some prisoners, and the answers he got were similar. At least the descriptions given by Gao Jie and Huama Liu were more objective and less jealous.
Li Yan then began to interrogate the murderers. Several of them knew they would die and admitted frankly, shouting that one person was responsible for the work and had nothing to do with the other prisoners.
"Why do you want to commit murder?" Li Yan asked.
"We have already surrendered, and yet we have to be humiliated, plundered, and whipped by you... Isn't that enough!" The prisoner roared, looking at Li Yan and gritting his teeth: "If you want to kill me, I'll cut him into pieces."
I am so happy that I am honored to die!"
Well, Li Yan nodded: "I respect you as a man!" After saying that, he turned to the soldiers and said: "Pull him out and chop him!" The prisoners bowed their hands to Li Yan: "Thank you, General, for taking the trouble and giving it to Cheng."
The general said, I will follow him in the next life." As he said this, he was taken away by the officers and soldiers to die generously.
"Why don't we report such a major matter to the governor first and then kill him? Killing him so quickly...wouldn't it be too careless?" Mr. Huama Liu felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so Gao Jie gave him a straight shot.
With his feet, he pulled him aside: "Can you stop fucking talking? You know what it means to have a long night of dreams. The longer this happens, the worse it will be for us. You want everyone to know about us robbing the captives' property."
Ah, Liu Zeqing is already dead and a coward, and you still want to make him infamy for thousands of years."
The words woke up the man in his dream. Huama Liu was a little ashamed but surprised when he thought about how the rough and brainless Gao Jie could be so smart today, while he himself looked like a fool.
"General Soldier Liu entered the city and surrendered, but was attacked by a group of fierce bandits and died in a fierce battle." Li Yan looked around coldly: "If there is anyone who talks nonsense and confuses the public, pull out his tongue and head!" After saying this, people carried Liu Zeqing's body to the Yamen.
Watching Li Yan leave, Huama Liu scratched his head: "Thousands of eyes are watching, and he can silence everyone with just one sentence?"
He is Li Yan, and he is respected by everyone both among the rebels and among the officers and soldiers. His words are much more effective than ours." Gao Jie sneered.
"Then... should we continue doing it?" Huama Liu hesitated, but Gao Jie was very free and easy: "I won't do it anymore. Li Yan gave me face, and I know it's interesting. As for your brother, please feel free to do it."
