Ma Yunshan removed the handle of the long whip and his mouth seemed to have stiffened, but it still remained open.
Xiao Chen stepped forward, ignoring the blood on the other person's jaw. He held his chin with his left hand and his head with his right hand, and slowly closed his mouth.
Ma Yunshan's eyes slowly opened. Although they were still lifeless, he could still see a hint of surprise.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm closing your mouth because I just want to talk to you."
"I, I knew, knew, you were not so kind." After a day, Ma Yunshan finally uttered a sentence.
"Good intention? You should not use the word "good intention" with me. If I were a kind person, I would not kill your father-in-law and uproot your Ma family."
A bright smile filled Xiao Chen's face.
At this moment, he is the winner.
He dominates everything in Mayun Mountain.
"You, you actually know about this relationship?" Ma Yunshan seemed a little surprised, but also seemed to have already thought of it.
"A small head of the Ministry of Etiquette suddenly jumped out to oppose Dongchang. There was no special reason. Could it be that he was too full? On the day you proposed to reduce the scope of use of Dongchang's firearms, I arranged for someone to deal with you.
I began to investigate every word of my past. Sure enough, I discovered that it was hatred that made you fly into the flame without caring about yourself."
"I underestimated you after all." After saying this, Ma Yunshan slowly closed his eyes, seeming to have completely resigned himself to his fate.
Xiao Chen smiled lightly: "This sentence is wrong, let me correct it for you."
Ma Yunshan opened his eyes again: "What's wrong?"
"It's not that you underestimated me or Dongchang, but you just underestimated yourself."
"It doesn't mean the same thing?"
"No, no, no," Xiao Chen shook his head gently, "The meaning is completely different. You and your father-in-law Cang Cheng are arrogant. You think you are the best in the world, and others are not as good as you. Cang Cheng is arrogant because
, ruined his own life. And you, thinking you are excellent, completely ruined your old Ma family. In comparison, you are better than your father-in-law Cangcheng. Hahaha."
Xiao Chen laughed unbridled.
Ma Yunshan's face was expressionless, but the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.
The whip wounds that had stopped bleeding were torn open strip by strip, and bright red blood seeped out from the wound, like a ghost coming out of hell, and it looked extremely terrifying.
"Successful king and defeated bandit, now that I have fallen into your hands, are you afraid of lowering your status by using these words to stimulate me? You can insult me, but don't insult a dead person. Your behavior is not as good as
What’s the difference between a scoundrel?”
"Identity, what identity do I have? Do you think I am a scholar, what kind of virtue and character do you think I am? You are right, I am still a scoundrel, the kind of scoundrel that makes me happy. I would have killed Cangcheng long ago.
Yes, I killed a person, why can’t I talk about him? Can he bite me? Next, you, your family, and your nine tribes will die.”
Looking at Ma Yunshan, Xiao Chen whispered like he was telling a story.
When he talked about his family and his nine tribes, Ma Yunshan was immediately discouraged and could no longer be tough.
"Can you keep the whole body?"
"Who? You? Or your people?"
"My people." Ma Yunshan's voice was very deep.
Others spent ten years in poverty to gain fame, then returned home in fine clothes and honored their ancestors.
And he himself had also achieved fame, but not only did he not return home in glory and honor his ancestors, but he also brought disaster to his clan.
But the matter has come to this, and he has no power to recover. He just hopes that his clan members will not be beheaded. After a lifetime of peace, he finally ends up with a tragic ending where his body and head are separated.
Looking at Ma Yunshan, Xiao Chen had a troubled expression on his face: "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the nine implicated tribes usually end up being beheaded. Do you have many tribesmen? If not, I will reluctantly talk to the emperor and tell them.
Forget it by hanging. After all, hanging requires you to strangle your neck until you finally die. It’s a waste of time, and it can’t be as neat as a knife to the head.”
After hearing this, Ma Yunshan was angry, but he had to agree with Xiao Chen's words.
In this case of hanging, although there would be a whole body, the torture he endured before death would take a long time.
If you want to behead someone, it will be a clean cut. Even though the head is in a different place, you will not be tortured.
"Although hanging is painful, it is a whole body after all. If you allow my people to keep the whole body, as your enemy, I want you to express your gratitude." Ma Yunshan moved his head hard and nodded lightly towards Xiao Chen.
"Oh...shh..." Xiao Chen sighed longly, "There's no need to thank you. After all, I'm a kind person, so I agree to your request. But, then again, leave it to them.
What's the use of leaving whole corpses? All the clan members have been killed, who will collect their corpses? Anyway, they will be thrown into the ditch outside the city and fed to wild dogs and wolves, so they won't be able to tear the whole corpse apart?"
With a "Wow" sound, under Xiao Chen's surprised gaze, Ma Yunshan burst into tears.
"My people are ordinary people who make a living by farming. They work at sunrise and rest at sundown. They have never been embarrassed by anyone for generations. Unexpectedly, because of me, they would throw their bodies in the wilderness and feed them to wild dogs and wolves.
.I am a sinner, I am the biggest sinner in the Ma family."
"Hey, hey, it's wrong to cry. You are not only a sinner of your old Ma family, you are also a sinner of the Ming Dynasty. As a scholar, even if we cry, we should not mess up our logical thinking. On this point, you and your father-in-law Cang Cheng
In comparison, it’s far behind.”
Xiao Chen reminded "kindly".
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Ma Yunshan suddenly woke up. He held his mouth and squeezed his eyes hard, squeezing out all the tears inside.
At this moment, you can't cry, you absolutely can't cry.
The person standing opposite is his own enemy, the enemy he deliberately wants to kill.
Crying means weakness, let alone saying that you have failed and you cannot continue to let him watch after you fail.
"I know I am in doom, but these tribesmen are really just ordinary people. Can you see that they have worked hard to farm and paid taxes to the court all their lives, so that their death will not be too embarrassing?"
"I really don't understand you scholars," Xiao Chen shook his head in confusion, "You are already dead, why do you care about what happens after death? Call me stupid, you just relied on your own brain to crawl
I got into the position of commander of the Jinyiwei and prepared to attack me. Call me smart, you insist on worrying about what to do after death. It seems that it really complies with the old saying: It is not that one family does not enter the same house. You and you
My father-in-law, Kusanagi, looks smart, but is actually a simpleton."
Hearing Xiao Chen call his father-in-law a fool, Ma Yunshan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
But in this situation, the angrier you are, the happier the other person will be.
Perhaps the other party said this deliberately to arouse his own anger and achieve his purpose of humiliating and torturing himself.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Ma Yunshan said coldly: "Please respect the dead?"
"Respect the dead? Who? Cang Cheng? Bah." Xiao Chen spat on the ground, "Not only is he an idiot, he is also the number one idiot in the Ming Dynasty. If he wasn't stupid, he would be the first of the six tribes.
Because of your inappropriate behavior, you gave me your head?"
As if the scolding was not enough, Xiao Chen looked at Ma Yunshan and said: "He is stupid, you are even stupider than him. You are ready to deal with me, why don't you wipe your butt clean quickly? Do you think Xi'an is far away from the capital, and Dongchang
Why don't I go over to check your details? I'm a rough guy, and I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Now it's okay, you two idiots, let's reunite underground."
"Xiao Chen, since you are dead, don't say such harsh words. As your opponent, I also know your character. You can torture and deal with me as you please. But those tribesmen who are ordinary people,
Can you be kind to them?"
"Be kind, of course, be kind." Xiao Chen said calmly: "I have already thought about it. Since no one is collecting their bodies, and you also ask that it be better not to behead them, then dig a big pit and bury all the men, women, old and children alive.
We are members of the clan and cannot be separated even after death. Am I saying that I have exhausted my benevolence and righteousness?"
Looking at Ma Yunshan, the smile on Xiao Chen's face was as bright as the spring breeze.
