Recalling the situation when he just came in, Lin Jingmo understood that they didn't care whether the people who came in were rioters, because they knew that there were no rioters in Nanling! They were just ordinary people.
Lin Jingmo looked at the soldiers guarding the small village and asked: "What will they do with us?"
Chen Tiehu replied: "I don't know either. We have been arrested for three days. We were barely surviving on the dry food we had brought with us. Some people resisted and wanted to go out, but all of them were taken away by people outside.
Whereabouts unknown."
Lin Jingmo said: "Are you just waiting?"
Chen Tiehu looked at Lin Jingmo, then smiled naively and said: "If Miss Lin can come in, she must have a way to get out. Why don't you leave first. Once you get out, you can find a way to save us!"
Lin Jingmo looked at Chen Tiehu's smile and immediately understood what he meant. Waiting here meant endless danger... Chen Tiehu hoped that she could leave. If she left here, she would at least have a glimmer of hope!
Lin Jingmo shook his head and said: "I can't leave. Now I am also what they call a rioter. Like you, they also know that I am innocent, but their original intention is not to catch the real rioters.
Let everyone know the consequences of resistance!"
When Chen Tiehu heard this, he hesitated to speak, and finally just sat down in despair.
……
When Shang Shixu woke up early in the morning, a letter from Zhao Wang Qi Xuanyi arrived from Chenzhou.
After Shang Shixu read the letter, he burned it expressionlessly.
At this moment, Lu Feicheng also came. He knocked on Shang Shixu's door and said, "Master Shang, have you gotten up? Why don't you and I have some breakfast together today?"
Shang Shixu opened the door, and Lu Feicheng said: "Master Zhou made porridge with last year's new rice from Nanling. I heard it was very fragrant. I came here to invite Master Shang to join us."
Shang Shixu saw the smile on Lu Feicheng's face, and he didn't expect that yesterday the two of them were at war with each other, but now they met with smiles...
Shang Shixu replied: "In these special times, is General Lu still in the mood to drink porridge?"
Lu Feicheng put away his smile at this time and replied: "It is precisely because of the special situation that I came to you specially, Lord Shangshu!"
Shang Shixu raised his eyes slightly and said, "Okay, let's eat together."
The three of them sat at the table, each with a bowl of vegetarian porridge.
Lu Feicheng started first, picked up the bowl and drank all the porridge in it. Zhou Mohan on the side saw this and hurriedly drank all the porridge in front of him.
Shang Shixu frowned and did not move his chopsticks.
Lu Feicheng glanced at Zhou Mohan, who nodded slightly and said: "Master Shangshu, this morning the government opened the granary and distributed all the food in it to the people."
Shang Shixu didn't answer, he just looked at the porridge in the bowl with an expressionless face.
Lu Feicheng continued: "It's enough to arrest so many rioters in the past few days. Nanling still needs to recuperate as soon as possible." He looked up at Shang Shixu's expression and saw that he was still unmoved, so he continued.
: "I received a handwritten letter from Zhongshu Ling this morning..."
Lu Feicheng paused deliberately, and when he saw Shang Shixu's eyes flickering, he said with a smile: "He asked me to deal with those rioters as soon as possible...I think...it's better to execute them all today."
, you and I can go back to Beijing and resume our lives."
Shang Shixu raised his head with a cold face: "General Lu is decisive in killing on the battlefield. Killing a few people is really nothing to you, but now we are in Nanling, not the north. They are not an army, let alone
Enemies, how could you kill them all in such cold blood?"
Lu Feicheng looked indifferent when he heard this, and gently placed the imperial edict that had just arrived this morning in front of Shang Shixu.
Shang Shixu looked at the yellow scroll in front of him in surprise and asked, "What is this?"
"The imperial decree just arrived this morning."
Shang Shixu couldn't bear it and said: "General Lu, you and I have only been in Nanling for a few days, how could we get a reply from His Majesty so quickly? Could it be that you wrote a letter in advance and sent it back to the capital?"
Lu Feicheng said calmly: "How could it be? How dare I be so careless when working with Mr. Shang? With Mr. Shang here, how could I do such a stupid thing? These rioters should all be killed. Fortunately, Prince Zhao's
Chenzhou is not far from Nanling, so he explained the matter of Nanling clearly to His Majesty in advance, so His Majesty was able to make a decision so quickly."
After saying that, Lu Feicheng smiled again and said: "Isn't it just right? Fortunately, Mr. Zhou knows the general situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. The government has decided to release grain. We have not only solved the food problem of the people in Nanling, but also killed all the rebels. In this way
Return to Beijing as soon as possible so that you can give an explanation to His Majesty."
"Can you give me an explanation? General Lu." Shang Shixu's face was ashen and he said with an undeniable cold tone: "Are those so-called rioters you arrested really all deserving of death?"
Lu Feicheng also refused to give in and said with a tough attitude: "Is it that important? You and I both understand that killing the chicken to show the monkey is an important means to shut up everyone in Nanling. Your Majesty has already made a decree, even if
If you don’t want to listen to Zhongshu’s order, you should also listen to His Majesty, right?”
Shang Shixu did not speak. After a moment of silence, Shang Shixu overturned the table. The porcelain bowl fell to the ground, and all the white porridge inside spilled on the ground.
Lu Feicheng said angrily: "Shang Shixu! Are you crazy?"
Shang Shixu sneered and said, "Then follow the decree and kill them all!" After that, Shang Shixu walked out with a smile.
Lu Feicheng looked at Shang Shixu's back with some surprise. After a moment, he told Zhou Mohan: "Aren't all those rioters imprisoned in a dilapidated village? Tonight you take him with you and set a fire to them all.
Burn him to death! Isn’t he unwilling to kill people in the order of time? My army will not do it! If you want to kill someone, let him kill the person he least wants to kill in the most cruel way!"
Zhou Mohan also felt a chill running down his spine when he heard this, and asked: "Is this... going to be too..."
"Are you afraid?" Lu Feicheng glanced at Zhou Mohan coldly and said, "Then go and ask your master for the food, and then share the food that should be distributed. Otherwise, just listen to my words!" p>
Zhou Mohan sweated for himself and said quickly: "It all depends on the general!"
Lu Feicheng glanced at Zhou Mohan. He looked down on Zhou Mohan from the bottom of his heart, so he said coldly: "Get out!"
After Zhou Mohan left, Lu Feicheng called for the deputy general and said: "Tonight's battle will not be small. Miss Lin has been timid since she was a child. She has never seen anything like this. Remember to protect her and let others watch her carefully. Don't let her go out."
