As the overlord of Shiliang Town, the Shiliang Sect always acts with arrogance even if the servants of the family go out.
When have you ever received such an insult? Some people immediately quit and cursed angrily when they opened the door. As a result, when they opened the door, they saw a neat army.
The silent and solemn atmosphere immediately frightened the person who opened the door to close the door, and he collapsed on the ground and almost peed his pants.
"No...it's not good, sir, it's not good, there are many officers and soldiers outside, saying they want to kill our whole family!"
A shrill howl instantly resounded through the Wen family compound, and all the Wen family masters who had been enjoying the blessings at home came out.
Although the six brothers of the Wen family do not have a great reputation in the world, with their methods, those who dare to come here to cause trouble are not yet born.
"Hey, where is Fang Lu? Where did he go?"
Wen Fangda didn't see Wen Fanglu come out, and was a little unhappy. People came to the door to cause trouble, but now there was no sign of his younger brother.
"Why are you looking for Fang Lu at this time? Let's look outside first!"
Others no longer regard Wen Fanglu as he does often run out and cause trouble, and they are all used to it.
After the five Wen brothers opened the door, they found that it was really an army. However, it was not the army of the Ming Dynasty, but some unknown troops.
"General, I don't know if the Wen family has been offended. If so, we are willing to compensate."
Wen Fangda knew very well that this was not the time for a head-on confrontation. The so-called martial arts masters in the army must be scum.
It's okay to fight alone, but as soon as they come out of the battle formation, they will kneel down. The most important thing is the guy in their hands.
The crossbow is a killing weapon at any time.
Especially in the era of cold weapons, as long as they reach a certain number, they are simply unstoppable.
"Wenjiabao, everyone surrenders immediately. Only those who are found to be not guilty of heinous crimes can be released.
As for how the crime should be punished, it will be decided by the Ming Law, and anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Xia Xueyi read it out expressionlessly. This was considered a mercy, removing innocent people.
Both Gu Santong and Zhang Zhiwei nodded, agreeing with Xia Xueyi's approach.
Neither of them is a murderous person, nor do they want to be a companion of a murderous person.
They agreed, but some people disagreed, because what Xia Xueyi said was undoubtedly a death sentence for them.
Needless to say, the lives of the five elders of the Wen family are on their hands, and they have done so many bad things over the years that the Ming Dynasty Law would be sufficient to sentence them to Lingchi.
To admit defeat is to die, but to work hard may still lead to a way of survival. Everyone knows how to choose.
The five elders of the Wen family can be considered to be on the same page, and they can tell what each other means just by looking at each other.
I saw that they took action at the same time, and instead of retreating, they advanced towards Xia Xueyi's direction.
They know that retreating is a dead end. After all, they have crossbows in their hands, and once the distance is widened, they will be living targets.
On the contrary, if you take the leader as a hostage, you can have more hope.
Seeing them taking action at the same time, Xia Xueyi raised a smile, as she had been waiting for this moment.
With a wave of the golden snake sword in his hand, several rays of sword energy instantly pierced their air sea.
The five of them fell to the ground as dead as ashes. Their martial arts were disabled after just one encounter?
"Who are you? How did the Wen family offend you and commit such a murderous attack?" Wen Fanda was furious and furious, but it was a pity that at this time, he was incapable of being furious.
"That's a good question, but I should ask Wen Fanglu. How did my Xia family offend him back then? I killed more than thirty members of my family. Today I only take your dog's life as a mercy."
After Xia Xueyi said this, the five elders of the Wen family suddenly realized that their younger brother was the cause of the trouble.
"What... Wen Fanglu?"
The five elders hate this. They are all here, but one Wen Fanglu is missing. As a result, when people come to take revenge, it is Wen Fanglu who they seek.
"It seems that we are no longer here, but it doesn't matter. I have the world. There is no need to interrogate these people. They will be killed directly. All their families will be arrested and interrogated. As long as they have committed a crime, they will be punished severely. If they have not committed a crime, they will be let go.
They leave!"
The matter of revenge is almost over here. As for Wen Fanglu, he can't run away.
Now he has more important things to do.
······
In Kyoto at night, in the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen was still reviewing memorials.
He can be regarded as a diligent emperor, but he is definitely not a successful emperor.
The word "willful" is really suitable to describe him. When he came to the throne, he made a mistake and killed Wei Zhongxian. As a result, he spent his whole life being played by the Donglin Party.
That's right, it's just a joke. As an emperor, you should have the power, but in the end, you can't even pay your salary.
But what about the ministers? Each one of them keeps a treasure trove of gold and silver at home and refuses to take it out.
After Li Zicheng captured the capital, he gained more than 70 million taels of gold and silver.
When Chongzhen was disbursing money, he also borrowed money from ministers, but none of them could come up with more than one or two hundred taels.
But under Li Zicheng's butcher's knife, there were 70 million people, which shows how greedy those officials are.
And this was at the feet of the emperor, but Chongzhen didn't know anything about it, or he couldn't do anything even if he knew it. It shows how incompetent he is, what else is it other than being tricked?
Of course, that was in the future, and now Chongzhen is looking at the memorial with a frown on his face.
"Wang Banban, why do you think there are so many bandits in the world? There was Li Zicheng before Zhang Xianzhong, and now even Xia Xueyi has appeared in southern Xinjiang.
It’s such a troubled time, with constant banditry inside and Hou Jin’s intruders outside, Mao Wenlong...Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan are really hateful and deserve to be killed!
What is written in this memorial is also very strange. It is said that this person can summon giant dragons, fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and is omnipotent. He is invulnerable and can also cause floods.
It’s really ridiculous. It’s obvious that they were afraid of death and opened the door to surrender. Those who defended the city should all die!”
"Your Majesty, be careful. Don't get angry. The dragon body is more important. It's just a rabble. Let the ministers discuss it tomorrow. Your Majesty, you should rest early."
Wang Chengen was waiting and persuading carefully on the side, but Chongzhen waved his hand, how could he sleep?
One night passed, and Chongzhen, who had rested on the couch for a while, came to the court.
All I heard were voices praising virtues, but the issues of banditry and Houjin were not mentioned at all.
"Report, eight hundred miles urgent, Your Majesty!!!"
"read!"
"The bandit leader of southern Xinjiang, who named himself the Golden Snake King, came out from Yunnan and conquered Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou.
General Qin Liangyu was defeated and was captured. He did not know whether he was alive or dead. The gates of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had been lost.
The bandit army is overwhelming and unstoppable. I hope the imperial court will send out troops as soon as possible. The bandit army will go down the river to Jinling and arrive in Kyoto soon."
“My dear friends, is this what you call peace in the world??”
As soon as this briefing came out, everyone who had previously praised the country for peace outside was speechless.
Then they were afraid because most of their family members were in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, but now I'm afraid it won't get better.
