lady, please calm down

Chapter 195 Bloody New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve.

At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty.

Outside the main tent of the Wuwei Army, the level of security was much higher than usual.

But only those who are familiar with the Wuwei Army can notice something strange. Among the groups of patrolling sergeants centered on the big tent of the Chinese Army, the outermost ones are the people from the Baozi Camp and the Fuzi Battalion, and the inner circle is the sergeants of the Ruizi Battalion A. At the gate of the tent, there were guards from the Huai army.
in the account.

Kou Shizhong and Gong Rui died on the spot.

Kou Shizhong's body was particularly tragic, it can be said that he was dismembered by knives, and his original appearance could no longer be seen.

Just now, the soldiers of the former military guards besieged and killed him like a madman.

Chen Chu understood this mentality.

As Kou Shizhong's original subordinate, they were more or less afraid of him in their hearts. Because of this fear, they would be more ruthless when attacking, lest Kou Shizhong's death would not be thorough enough.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is like when the traitors captured the anti-Japanese compatriots during the Anti-Japanese War, they were more brutal than the little days.

After betraying the original ethnic group or organization, they can only go to the dark one way, otherwise, if the master they seek refuge with fails, they know how miserable their end will be.

With this mentality, the Wuwei Army will naturally undergo some purges.
Amid the bloody nose, Song Bao and Du Duofu drew up a list and handed it to Chen Chu.

The list lists Kou Shizhong's remnants in the army.

Among them are the deputy battalion commanders of the Fuzi Battalion, the captains of the Ruizi Battalion, and even grassroots officers like Shichang.

According to Song Bao, Kou Shizhong's nepotism in the Wuwei Army was serious. Among these officers, some were Kou Shizhong's family relatives, some were relatives-in-law, and even neighbors.
In short, they are all Kou Shizhong's iron rods and need to be uprooted.

It can be seen from this that the two people who acted as internal agents are afraid that the Kou family will rise again in the future and will retaliate against them.

Chen Chu didn't want to clean up the expansion, so he crossed out all the lower-level officers in the squadron from the list.

Only five middle and high-ranking military officers such as the team general and Yuhou remained.

If Cai Wei were here, he would probably criticize the little lover for being soft-hearted again.

Afterwards, Chen Chu asked Jiang Shuquan to pass the order under the guise of Kou Shizhong, bringing several people to the tent of the Chinese army and trapping and killing them one by one.

At the end of Haishi, the butcher's knife rested temporarily.

The bloody smell in the big tent was so strong that it was disgusting.

However, Chen Chu sat on the main seat that originally belonged to Kou Shizhong, and calmly arranged: "Tomorrow, do you know how to write the statement to Mr. Zhang?"

"My lord, please make it clear that I'm so stupid that I can't write official documents." Song Bao stood beside a pile of corpses, clasped his fists and said.

"Well, I have written it in advance here, so go back and transcribe it."

Chen Chu lightly took out two pieces of paper, Song Bao and Du Duofu hurriedly stepped forward to take them with both hands.

It roughly reads: On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighth year of Fuchang, Kou Shizhong, the commander of the Wuwei Army, instructed Gongrui, the Marquis of Yu in Ruiziying, to plunder Qingpan Town, Runan. The whole county was shaken and the people were uneasy.

That night, Chen, the governor of Caizhou's left-behind department, came to the door to arrest the chief criminal, Gong Rui, so that he could explain to the people of Runan. He didn't want Kou Shizhong to try his best to cover him up, but he wanted to kill Shangguan Chen Chu to silence him!

At the critical moment, Song Bao, Marquis of Yu in the Baozi Camp of the Wuwei Army, Du Duofu, Marquis of Yu in the Fuzi Camp, Jiang Shuquan, Dutou Jiang Shuquan of the First Team of the Ruizi Camp, and others, cherished the national grace and understood the righteousness, refused to be a minion, and joined forces to kill Kou Shizhong, Gong Rui and others. Make chaos seven people.
Midnight.

Peng's two relatives led two teams of the Zhenhuai Army to station in the Wuwei Army barracks to assist Dalang in stabilizing the morale of the army.

In the former Gong Rui's barracks in Ruiziying, a woman from Qingpan Town who had not suffered any misfortune was immediately rescued.

When the eldest son who was ordered to rescue others came out of Gong Rui's barracks, he hugged another one in his mother's arms.

+ + +
Chen Chu, who was waiting outside, couldn't help laughing and cursing, "Yao Meili! You don't think you've provoked enough people! Forget about that girl from the Ding family?"

"."

Hearing this, the eldest son hurriedly explained, but when he was in a hurry, he couldn't speak clearly, so he simply let go of his hand on the spot, and the little girl who was still in shock in her arms fell down immediately, and fell to her ass.

The little girl sat on the ground aggrieved, wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry in pain, with tears in her eyes, first glanced at Chen Chu who wouldn't let the big man hold her, maybe she felt that this person was too fierce, so she hurriedly moved away eyes, and looked timidly at the eldest son who seemed to be a good man
"Brother Chu, she was frightened, her legs were weak and she couldn't walk, so I hugged her."

The eldest son Han Sheng explained that he also felt very wronged.

Now, on the contrary, Chu Ge'er was set off as inhumane.

Chen Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Hug me, hug me."

Among the fleeing brothers, Yao Meili was the most ugly, but he was also the most honest and incomprehensible.

But looking at it now, why do you feel that this kid is the most prosperous!

Do stupid people have stupid blessings?

Zhenhuai army camp.

Shan Xueqing, the magistrate of Runan County, and Tian Yuanwai of Qingpan Township sat in the same military tent, as if mourning a concubine.

In the afternoon, they had the courage to come to the barracks to beg for help. They expected that it would not go well, but they didn't expect that the Huai army would force them to stay.

Although there are charcoal fires and food in the account, the people who have been hungry for a long time have no appetite at all.

Firstly, they worried about what happened to their wives and daughters, and secondly, they also began to worry about their own situation.

Shan Xueqing once suspected that the Zhenhuai army was going to kill them to silence them, but then he felt that it was not like the sergeants guarding the door. Although they did not allow them to leave, they were very polite, and there was also the prison officer Cao in the tent to accompany them. , I really can't see the other party showing signs of silence.

After thinking about it, Shan Xueqing still couldn't hold back and asked, "Officer Cao, why did you keep me here all this time? Tonight's New Year's Eve, I won't return all night, and my family can't help worrying."

"Uh, don't be impatient for Shanzhi County, Chen Dutong should be back soon."

Cao Xiaojian said awkwardly.

In fact, he didn't know the current situation. Chen Chu only said that he went to the Wuwei Army to beg for someone, but he didn't expect that he would go for three or four hours.

Everyone couldn't hear the news, and their hearts became more and more heavy.

It was late at night, and the field members sitting outside probably imagined the scene of their daughter being raped and humiliated, so they couldn't help shedding a few dirty tears, and murmured: "Will my daughter survive tonight?"

No one answered him this question, but the other people who hooked it also shed tears.

While the tent was depressing, suddenly there was a commotion outside, and then the sergeants guarding outside the camp saluted and sang promises, "Your Excellency!"

wow~
Everyone in the tent got up almost at the same time, looking at the tent door eagerly, hoping to hear the good news just in case.

In a short time, the curtain of the camp tent was raised, and Chen Chu, who was dressed in a pile of silver dragon scales and gold armor, strode in.

Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he clasped his fists and made a four-square salute, "Shame! I surprised all the villagers. The woman in Qingpan Town has been rescued. Because of the timely rescue, she was not ruined by the rebels. Now she is in a carriage outside the camp. Come on, return the jade to Zhao, and all the villagers can go to find their wives and daughters."

"."

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and the next moment everyone rushed out at the same time
After all, Shan Xueqing was an official, and he was not as excited as these people, but bowed to Chen Chu to the end, "Thank you Chen Dutong, I will remember this kindness from all over Runan!"

"You don't have to be polite to Shanzhi County. Speaking of this matter, it's considered that I'm not strict, cough cough"

In the middle of speaking, Chen Chu suddenly coughed sickly.

Mao Dan beside him hurried forward to help, and said in a painful voice: "Your Excellency has suffered internal injuries, go back and rest!"

"Injured? When was Chen Dutong injured?" Cao Xiaojian asked in surprise.

"The matter of Qingpan town was done by the military guards commander Kou Shizhong, Yuhou Gongrui and others. When my lord went down to beg for someone."

Mao Dan recounted what happened within a few hours.

However, in his narration, Kou Shizhong and others wanted to attack and kill Shangguan, but Chen Chu was unprepared and received a punch in the chest and was injured.

If it weren't for Du Duofu, Song Bao, Jiang Shuquan and others who understood justice and stood on the side of justice at a critical moment, Chen Dutong would be hardened now!
Shan Xueqing and Cao Xiaojian didn't know how dangerous it was until now.

Can not help but froze on the spot.

"Cough. Shanzhi County, although this matter is not strictly controlled by the official, but it happened in Runan County, please submit an official document to clarify the cause and effect of this matter, cough cough"

"Master Chen, don't worry! This official is determined to be like this, and I will not let you be wronged because of this!"

Shan Xueqing said hurriedly.

To tell the truth, it is natural to tell the truth, but compared to the dead army ruffian, he is naturally infinitely inclined psychologically to Chen Chu who risked his life to save the people in Runan.

With a psychological tendency, literati like them can play tricks on official documents.

After finishing Shan Xueqing, Chen Chu held his chest in pain, and looked at Cao Xiaojian again, "Officer Cao, Song Bao, Du Duofu and others who have witnessed this matter are now in the barracks of the Wuwei Army, please go and investigate , cough cough."

Gong Rui captured the people because of it, and Kou Shizhong attacked and killed Shangguan because of it.

There are all witnesses and witnesses, and Cao Xiaojian only needs to 'discover' this complete chain of evidence himself.

Cao Xiaojian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay! Chen Dutong is injured, go and recuperate quickly."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Chu rolled his eyes and fell down.

"My lord! You can't die!"

Maodan, possessed by a dramatist, shouted at the top of his lungs.

Die your sister!

ugly time.

It was late at night, and it was the first day of the new year.

The foot of Wufeng Mountain, which is far away from the village and town, is pitch black, but there is a procession of torches winding along the road leading to Qingpan Town.

It was five or six miles away from the camp, and Shan Xueqing involuntarily turned his head to glance at the Zhenhuai army camp with only a blurred spot of light left.

For the nth time, he sighed: "Chen Dutong is really a righteous general!"

The field member who was walking beside heard the words, and while agreeing, he looked at his daughter on horseback.

Just now when I saw someone outside the camp, my daughter was saved by a black general after she said that she was not taken over by the army ruffians.

The black general is now walking in front of the team.

The boundary of Wufeng Mountain was not peaceful, and it was late at night when he returned home. Yao's eldest son was ordered to bring twenty soldiers to send him back.

Moreover, the kind-hearted eldest son graciously gave up a few horses to carry the slow-paced female relatives.

Tian Pan'er got on the horse and looked at the dark front for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Daddy, it was the black general who saved my daughter, so Daddy thanked him face to face."

Tian Yuanwai, who had let go of the big stone in his heart after the great worry, was in a good mood at the moment. Hearing his daughter's urging again and again, he couldn't help laughing, and said dotingly: "Okay, okay, Daddy will go to thank you in person, and ask about the general's family background by the way. how?"

"."

Tian Pan'er lowered her head slightly ashamed.

The field member laughed again, and then hurried a few steps to the side of the eldest son.

He first expressed his gratitude, and then asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Is the general in any position in Zhenhuai Army now?"

"I'm not Shi's general, I'm just the Marquis of Zheng Yu." The eldest son said [-].

"Oh? Pro-jun Yuhou?"

Tian Yuanwai's eyes lit up. This big black man has been appointed as the Marquis of Yu in the army at a young age. He must have a close relationship with Chen Dutong!
Immediately, the smile became brighter, "Yao Yuhou is a nobleman this year?"

"What is Gui Geng?"

"Ahem, what is the age of Marquis Yu?"

"I'm 21."

In the rear, the rest of the people from Qingpan Town, seeing the careful questioning of Tian Yuanwai, immediately understood what this old man was up to!

In the past, the world was peaceful, and families only wanted to marry their daughters to scholars, but now that the world is full of chaos, it is definitely not as good as relying on literati with books than on warriors with swords!
What happened tonight is a living example.

Seeing that Tian Yuanwai took the lead, He Xiucai in Qingpan Town hurriedly grabbed Mao Dan beside him, and said with a kind smile, "Little brother, do you have any job in the army now?"

"Me? I am Chen Dutong's most trusted soldier, who was praised by Dutong as 'smart and has a promising future', and who graduated No.2 from the third phase of Lanxiang Night School and was awarded the Outstanding Student Award by the adults himself!"

Compared with the eldest son, Mao Dan is too boastful.

He Xiucai was taken aback when he heard that, only felt that Xiao Lang was powerful, but ignored the fact that the other party was just a big soldier.
"Little brother, how old are you? Have you ever been engaged?"

He Xiucai, who thought he had caught the treasure, hurriedly asked.

Next to him, the white-haired mouse who had been listening to the conversation around him laughed mischievously, "This old man, the hairy egg is still young, in the words of my adults, 'the hair is not even grown', marriage is a fashion morning."

He Xiucai was punctured by the white-haired mouse's words, and couldn't help but cast a stern look at the latter.

Who knows, Lao Bai came over shamelessly, "Old man, he's still young, but I've grown up! Look at me, I'm the boss now, with two monthly salaries!"

While speaking, Lao Bai deliberately puffed out his chest, so as to make his thin and small body look more stalwart.

He Xiucai looked at it for a while, but felt that the man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes was not a good person, so he said casually: "My daughter is still young, it is too early to get married!"

"."

Lao Bai, isn't that what I just said?

"Pfft~"

Wu Tong looked at the deflated Bai Shichang, and couldn't help laughing.

Although he is already married, he can't help but feel a little proud that the men in our Zhenhuai Army are popular!

At the end of the line, Shan Xueqing heard the lively laughter ahead, and couldn't help but glance back again.

The Zhenhuai army barracks are no longer visible.

The vast land was pitch black.

This year's New Year's Eve is really unforgettable!
