Invincible son

Chapter 731 730 [Which is more important]

The flag of Pei Zishuai stood proudly, and a thousand fine riders lined up silently.

They stared at the people in front of them indifferently, and the steeds under their crotches snorted restlessly.

These veterans who have survived the trials and tribulations on the battlefield in the western region can bring tremendous pressure to the enemy even if they are as immovable as a mountain, let alone a group of ordinary people who are hungry and weak?Even though there are tens of thousands of people surrounding the imperial envoy, as long as Pei Yue gives an order, they will not break a sweat after killing these people in the Beiwei camp.

Like ripples on the surface of the still water, passing across the entire long street from north to south, more and more people began to tremble in their hearts.

They had never seen such a terrifying soldier before, but most of them had heard of Pei Yue's deeds.

As a bastard, commanding the frontier army to capture more than [-] heads of the Western Wu Dynasty, such a legend is hard not to pass on to the world. This incident alone is enough to become the god of death in many people's hearts.

The ripples soon converged into sprays, and the people in the periphery consciously retreated to the two sides to make way for the road.

Pei Yue rode his horse in the lead, followed by Shuai Qi.

His gaze has been lingering on the people on both sides, for some reason he suddenly remembered the scene of Linlin Village at the beginning of that year.

Under the luxuriant willow tree, dozens of farmers saluted him cautiously and extremely humbly, even though he was only a boy and a half at that time.There are many similarities between those farmers and the people in front of them. They are like insignificant dust in this world, struggling in the mud just to survive.

Pei Yue never thought of being a savior, but he walked all the way from north to south, and the only word he saw in the world was hardship.

A manic depression boiled in his heart.

If it was normal, the people in Chengjing might still want to see the demeanor of the Marquis of Zhongshan, but now they only dare to lower their heads and listen to the steady rhythm of horseshoes ringing in their ears.

The so-called shadow of a famous tree, Pei Yue's skills and prestige need not be repeated, and his subordinates are naturally murderous and fierce gods. This is a fact that Cheng Jingwei led by Chen Xinjia is completely incomparable.Just now, the common people who were going to continue to gather outside the imperial envoy's camp to ask for an explanation, now they are as obedient as lambs.

Pei Yue didn't take the opportunity to preach some great principles, he went straight to the gate of Xingyuan, sat on the horse and bowed his hands to Han Gongduan.

The first-class marquis is a super-rank title, and the Eastern Mansion's participation in politics is only from the second-rank. Pei Yue's behavior is not considered rude.

Pei Yue greeted Song Ximeng, governor of Qinzhou again, but still did not dismount.

Then he turned his horse's head around, looked at the crowds of people's heads in the dark, and said loudly: "Although I have a little reputation in Beijing, no one in Chengjing, thousands of miles away, should care, so I guess everyone made such a big mess today. The battle should not be specially to welcome me, right?"

This joke was not funny. Although Pei Yue's voice was full of anger, the people on both sides of the long street could hear it, but they just looked at it in fear, and there was no echo.

Pei Yue didn't take it seriously, and changed the subject: "Since you are not welcoming me, thousands of you are walking around the imperial envoy, are you planning to rebel?"

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

When some people wanted to leave, they found that there were soldiers under Pei Yue's command everywhere.The Beiwei camp can be said to be the best of the best. The top picks carefully selected from the veterans of the Zangfengwei do not need Pei Yueer's orders most of the time. They know how to deal with different situations.

Facing these unarmed common people, the Beiwei camp would certainly not form a battle formation. The 11-man mandarin duck formation formed a small team, and they had already dispersed while Pei Yue was moving forward, completely controlling the situation.In contrast, Cheng Jingwei brought by Chen Xinjia was like a mess of scattered sand, most of the people gathered together.

In front of the gate, Han Gongduan nodded slightly as he watched the scene.

Song Ximeng said softly: "As expected of the Marquis of Zhongshan, the strength of his subordinates is very rare."

Han Gongduan replied: "Your Majesty will not value a subject for no reason."

The two felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, and Chen Xinjia who was standing next to him only felt extremely embarrassed and at the same time a little afraid.Before Pei Yue appeared, he had also thought about the methods of this Marquis of Zhongshan. In fact, he was not particularly afraid in his heart. He always felt that this person's reputation was difficult to live up to. A penny of money will dig a hole for Han Gongduan.

On the other side, Pei Yue saw that there was no answer, so he frowned slightly and said, "Benhou asks again, are you planning to rebel?"

This group of people finally reacted. At first, they appeared among the common people outside the imperial envoy, and some shrewd and shrewd voices shouted: "Mr. I beg the imperial envoy to open a warehouse to release grain. There have been no rice shops open in the city for more than ten days, and many people are starving to death."

Pei Yue wondered: "If you don't buy food for ten days, you will starve to death? Don't you have any food in your home?"

Seeing that his attitude was quite gentle, some people gradually became courageous and replied loudly: "Master, it hasn't rained here since the end of March, the crops in the fields are all withered, and the peasants have no food for themselves." Eat, how can there be food sold in the city? Since the end of April, the price of rice has been soaring, many people can only sell it for food, and now even the rice shop is closed..."

Pei Yue sighed softly, and asked again: "So, you are walking around the imperial envoy today, just wanting to get some food?"

The people closest to him nodded desperately, and some of them already had tears on their faces.

Who would want to do such a risky thing if it is not enough to fill the stomach?Who doesn't know that bumping into an imperial envoy is a major crime of ransacking one's home and beheading one's head?

Pei Yue didn't ask any more questions, he got off his horse, followed closely by Deng Zai and several soldiers, and he held the steel knife that Pei Yue often used with both hands.

Although Pei Yue walked towards Han Gongduan and Song Ximeng, Chen Xinjia felt a sense of crisis for no reason.

I saw Pei Yue calmly climbed the stone steps, came to stand in front of the two important ministers, and asked with a stern look: "Dare to ask Mr. Shenzheng, these people are just poor people who don't have enough to eat, why do you order to shoot them?" ?”

He suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the hundreds of corpses not far away, and said angrily, "Is this the way the imperial court treats the people of Daliang?"

After all, he was a general who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, Song Ximeng was forced to take a step back by this domineering momentum.

Han Gongduan said in a deep voice: "Marquis Zhongshan, I have never ordered people to be shot."

Pei Yue was stunned, and asked suspiciously: "This place is headed by the Lord Candidate, who else can give the order except you? Could it be Song Fangbo?"

He turned his head to look at Song Ximeng, who shook his head and said, "I want to teach Marquis Pei to know that although I am the governor, I have no right to mobilize the Xiang army in this state."

At this time, a trembling voice sounded: "Report to Marquis Pei, the last general is Chen Xinjia, the commander of Cheng Jingwei. At that time, this group of people were besieging the imperial army protecting Lord Han, and the last general was afraid of making a big mistake, so he didn't dare to come here in a hurry. Delay, I can only order to release arrows. The last general definitely did not intend to slaughter the people, but..."

Chen Xinjia said it very respectfully, he never thought that Pei Yue would hold on to this matter.

Isn't it just dozens of civilians? Besides, I didn't kill people for no reason. If they didn't attack the imperial envoy, how could such a result happen?
However, his voice became lower and lower, and became more and more silent, because Pei Yue looked at him indifferently, and raised his hand to take the steel knife from Deng Zai.

Pei Yue said in a deep voice: "You can sit in the position of commander, no matter how incompetent you are, you won't be so stupid. Open your eyes and see what these people look like, all of them are so hungry that their chests stick to their backs You don't even have the strength to wave your hands, how dare you say that they can deal with the imperial army and the soldiers you brought?"

He strode forward.

Chen Xinjia was horrified, and said sharply: "Peihou, the last general has a clear conscience!"

At this time, Han Gongduan suddenly said leisurely: "Commander Chen, if you have a clear conscience, how do you explain the five boxes of treasures that were sent to your house the night before?"

Chen Xinjia was dumbfounded. Seeing that Pei Yue had come to him, the long knife was dragged on the ground and made a palpitating sound. He struggled and shouted, "Pei Hou, you are only the deputy commander of the Beijing camp. You can't be controlled according to the imperial court's military system." Come to me!"

Pei Yue turned his neck and said, "Before this Marquis left Beijing, His Majesty bestowed the power to supervise the generals of the Southern Army. Didn't you receive this imperial edict?"

Chen Xinjia still wanted to argue, but Pei Yuejian stepped forward, and the light of the saber curled up like a horse training.

Blood splattered.

Chen Xinjia clutched his neck, his eyes full of disbelief, he couldn't figure out why this person dared to kill him, didn't he want to know the root of the chaos in Qinzhou?
The soldiers of Cheng Jingwei were in an uproar immediately. No one thought that their chief general would be killed suddenly. However, before they could react, they found that the soldiers from the back-to-back camp had appeared in front of them. Those indifferent faces seemed to be They are reminding them that if they dare to make trouble, there will only be one end.

Just like Chen Xinjia who fell to the ground and died.

On the long street, although the common people couldn't hear the conversations of those big figures, they could see the detailed process of the accident.

The hundreds of people who were shot and killed by Cheng Jingwei did not come here alone. Many of the people who came today were a few families. Their families did not dare to collect the corpses of their relatives, nor did they dare to shout at the soldiers. They could only hide their grief in the heart.

When the general who gave the order to release the arrow was hacked to death by Pei Yue, a burst of mournful cries suddenly erupted from the crowd as the revenge was avenged.
