The first thousand two hundred and fifty-four chapters revenge the hated people
"My lord, Magistrate Zhang woke up and said that he would kneel down to the lord in person and beg for help." Before the prisoner could finish reading, Shen Guoer sent one of his subordinates to report to Wang Junlin.
Speaking of which, the two MIA spies who infiltrated the bandits made a big contribution this time. Not only did they promptly report the news twice before, but they also scared Li Feng into voluntarily abandoning the city and fleeing, allowing Wang Junlin to lead the army with almost no losses. Not only did they defeat the rogue bandits, they also recaptured Yangwu County. But this was not over yet. The two spies took advantage of the chaos and rescued Magistrate Zhang.
"Let's go and see this tough-boned Magistrate Zhang." Wang Junlin said and rode towards the county government office. A person like Magistrate Zhang is worthy of Wang Junlin's personal visit.
…
…
"The lower official Zhang Huiqing pays homage to the prince."
"Your Majesty, as long as you help the official kill Li Feng, the official will be willing to work for the prince from now on." When the Yangwu County Magistrate named Zhang Huiqing saw Wang Junlin, he dragged his injured body and faced him directly. Wang Junlin knelt down.
Wang Junlin sighed and squatted down to help Zhang Huiqing up, but the latter's eyes were red, his face was crazy, and he was so stubborn that he refused to get up.
"I beg the prince to agree to the official. Today, the only one who can help the official to avenge the blood feud is the prince. If the prince does not agree, the official will die directly in front of the prince. Wuwuwu..." When Zhang Huiqing said this, he was already in tears. His face was full of tears, and before he could finish his words, he burst into tears.
Wang Junlin could see that Zhang Huiqing's heart was bleeding, and there was only hatred in his heart. In fact, this was normal. Whoever had watched his wife and daughter being raped to death by thieves in turn would be like this, and those with weak minds would be like this. He turned directly into a madman.
"Master Zhang, you don't have to be like this. I can promise you that Li Feng will be captured and handed over to you." What else could Wang Junlin do besides agreeing to the other party's request.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty helps me avenge my blood feud, I will give you the rest of my life to Your Majesty..." Zhang Huiqing obviously believed in Wang Junlin's ability and credibility, and immediately kowtowed to Wang Junlin again with great joy.
But before Zhang Huiqing could finish his words, Wang Junlin helped him up and interrupted his swearing words: "Master Zhang, you don't have to be like this. Master Zhang would rather die than surrender, and I admire him very much."
At this time, Shen Guoer came to report: "Your Majesty, through the screening of our spies who infiltrated the bandits in advance, we have selected those who have committed the most heinous crimes among the more than 6,000 prisoners, especially those who have eaten human flesh, raped women, and killed people." There are more than 1,400 bandits among the common people. How can these people behave like this?"
Wang Junlin looked cold and said: "What else can I do? Just pull him down and kill him, and let the new recruits in the supply camp who have never killed anyone or seen blood kill him."
Shen Guoer hesitated for a moment and was about to say something when Zhang Huiqing suddenly said: "The prince's order to kill so many people will make the prince's reputation even more vicious and poisonous. It will be detrimental to the prince's reputation. It is better to leave it to the lower officials, who will summon the people in the city." Killing the people who have been persecuted by the thieves together can be regarded as revenge. At the same time, this can win the hearts of the people for the prince without damaging the prince's reputation."
Shen Guoer's eyes lit up and she said, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhang said is true. Moreover, it is in line with the law of the imperial court to hand these thieves over to Mr. Zhang."
Wang Junlin was a little hesitant because he admired Zhang Huiqing very much and did not want him to bear the reputation of being cruel.
Seeing Wang Junlin's hesitation, Zhang Huiqing knelt down again with a thump.
Seeing this, Wang Junlin sighed, and without waiting for Zhang Huiqing to say anything, he pulled him up again and said, "In that case, let Master Zhang handle these more than a thousand thieves who have committed heinous crimes!"
…
…
When the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, Zhang Huiqing gathered all the people in the county on the flat ground in front of the county seat. He organized more than 200 adult men who had been most severely persecuted by the bandits and began to kill the selected bandits who had committed the most heinous crimes.
Zhang Huiqing took the lead and killed ten bandits who were tied up in one breath before he stopped breathing and covered in blood. Especially one of the bandits who had raped his wife and daughter was recognized by him and chopped to death in one breath.
With dozens of knives, he was almost chopped into pieces, which was more or less revenge.
With the county magistrate taking the lead, other families who were persecuted by the bandits were destroyed, especially their wives and daughters. Like the county magistrate, the people who suffered the murders even identified the bandits who had persecuted them, and cried out and killed them on the spot.
The bandits who had not yet had their turn at the back suddenly howled loudly and cried to the county magistrate and the people. The people watching were all relieved, but the ordinary refugees and bandits were all trembling with fear, and some of the family members of the selected bandits were
Screaming and crying in it.
No one paid attention to the weeping family members. Those who cursed the officers and soldiers and the county magistrate were quickly sent by Wang Junlin. The commander of the Hammer Battalion who was stationed here with the army ordered Guan Xiaotong to behead directly. After beheading six or seven people, the refugees
No one dared to curse anymore.
After killing four to five hundred people, the remaining bandits knew that they would not survive and no longer begged for mercy. Some acted bravely, claiming that they would be heroes again in twenty years, while others loudly cursed Wang Junlin and Zhang County.
Ling, after all, was about to die, and being able to curse the famous invincible poisonous general was a bit of a bargain. However, as long as he cursed Wang Junlin, Guan Xiaotong would immediately send someone over and chop off his head.
Although these common people were eager to kill, they were still novices after all. If they could not kill the gangsters with one sword, they would often have to cut them several times, causing blood to flow everywhere in the field, and the dying cries of the gangsters were unbearable to hear.
But no one would think it cruel, because this era is like this, this is a troubled world. The methods these bandits used to deal with the people of Yangwu County yesterday were a hundred times more cruel than this, and these people indeed deserve to die. Everyone can be called the real heinous criminal.
.
In addition, letting the people of Yangwu County witness the whole process can leave a deep impression on them. In the future, through their mouths, the reputation of the Far East Army will be spread, especially among rogue bandits, and Wang Junlin's evil reputation will be spread.
, when fighting, you can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
…
…
With Zhang Huiqing's full cooperation, Wang Junlin did not have to worry about the affairs of Yangwu County and began to prepare for war. Before there was no city to defend, Wang Junlin was worried about being surrounded from all sides. Now that there is Yangwu County, Wang Junlin is not worried at all about being surrounded.
surrounded.
The army rested in Yangwu County for two days. The horses and soldiers finally recovered almost fully, and the fatigue from the long journey had been basically eliminated. Wang Junlin summoned the generals to hold a final combat meeting and invited Zhang Huiqing, the magistrate of Yangwu County.
Following Wang Junlin's order, Guan Xiaotong welcomed Zhang Huiqing into the camp at the gate.
