Nanming Engineer

Chapter 229 Let's Do It
Wang Zhaolin and Yan Ximing returned to their respective seats. The old man took a sip of tea while Wang Yunxuan stared and waited.

Wang Zhaolin put down the teacup, frowned, and said to Wang Xunxing in a deep voice: "What the governor said is no small matter. Rumors and gossips among the people are harmless in ordinary times. Sending a county captain can calm them down, but at this moment, it is the right time. When foreign enemies invade and Daxi is in danger, the ancients said that three people will become a tiger. If there are many rumors, something will come out of nothing, and if the city is stable, there will be a hundred harms but no benefit."

Wang Xunxing nodded repeatedly, and said worriedly: "Yes, that's exactly the case. What I'm worried about is this. There are 10 people in the city. It's hard to say how many people who hate the emperor and have two ambitions. If someone takes this opportunity to fan the flames, Spreading rumors, rebellion, I have few troops, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it."

Yan Xi furrowed his brows deeply as if empathizing with his fate, and said to Wang Zhaolin, "Master Zuo, what Wang Dudu said is very true, we must find a way to share the emperor's worries."

Wang Zhaolin stroked his white beard, glanced at Wang Yunxing, then lowered his head and sighed, hesitant to speak but stopped.

Wang Xunyun was puzzled, looked at Wang Zhaolin, and then at Yan Ximing, but didn't understand what it meant.

Seeing that this reckless man was completely uncooperative, Yan Ximing didn't understand that he should ask in time: "If Prime Minister Zuo has something to say, please speak up!" In order to show Wang Zhaolin's supernatural powers, he had to say clearly: "Commander, after Prime Minister Zuo discussed with me, There is a way, but the murder is too serious, and the reputation of the governor may be hurt, so it is inconvenient to say."

Wang Xunyun thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly realized, and blurted out: "You literati are really sour. If the left minister has an idea, he will say it. I'm afraid of a bird! I have done too many murders. , I don’t see any ghosts taking me in, you bastard, just say it!”

Under his repeated urging, Wang Zhaolin twirled his beard and shook his head, opened his eyes, and said sharply: "I, Daxi Zhenguo, live by strict orders. Anyone who violates the law will beheaded, skinned and hung in the city." If the gate is closed, the rest will retreat in fear, and the world will be peaceful. In today's matter, we must kill chickens and monkeys to prevent future troubles. The truth is in agreement with the right minister. If there is nothing to do in the city, there is only one word, kill!"

When he said the last word, he swung his right hand down suddenly, making a chopping motion.

Wang Zhaolin felt that he was very murderous, and in Wang Yunyun's eyes, he didn't even look like a fart. He didn't even raise his eyebrows, but asked with a little excitement: "I also mean the same thing, but I don't know who to kill, please tell the left minister clearly." !"

A cold light appeared in Wang Zhaolin's eyes, his lips twitched sinisterly, and he screamed: "Kill, kill them all! Those who have been officials in the Ming Dynasty, who have achieved fame in their studies, and have relatives outside the government who are members of the government, should be killed." Those who run a business, in order to prevent them from colluding with foreign enemies, they are all arrested and killed!"

Wang Zhaolin's eyes were red, his face was contorted with blood, and he looked like he was about to go crazy. Although Yan Ximing knew what he was going to say, his heart jumped.

But Wang Xunyun was overjoyed when he heard the sound, he suddenly stood up like a bear, and said with a big laugh, "That's right, Prime Minister Zuo said well, if there is going to be chaos in the city, it must be this kind of people who start the chaos. They do have a reason for the chaos, but If they are captured like this, even half of the number will be in the tens of thousands.”

Wang Zhaolin said with a smirk: "So the truth is that the crime of killing is too serious, the governor should think twice."

Wang Xunxing curled his lips and said, "I was massacring the city in Luoyang and exterminating the clan in Xiangyang. Since when have I ever been afraid of being killed? Don't worry, the two prime ministers. I will leave this matter to me. I will go back and dispatch troops. I will strike first." , Kill those bastards!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xunxuan clasped his fists to say goodbye, rushed out of the door excitedly, and left with a murderous intent.

Wang Zhaolin and Yan Ximing walked slowly to the door and watched Wang Yunxuan rush out the door. They looked at each other and smiled, their conspiracy unspoken.

"Master Zuo Gao, in this way, we can make chaos in the city and get rid of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty who secretly favored the Ming Dynasty, and let Zhang Xianzhong wear the hat of the murderous devil again. It can win the hearts and minds of the people and kill two birds with one stone. Of course, if Wang Xunyun stirs up a civil uprising, it would be even better if both parties lose out."

Yan Ximing raised his thumb and complimented Wang Zhaolin.

Wang Zhaolin twirled his white beard, smiled and said nothing, his wrinkled and wrinkled face was full of gloomy hostility, even if the sun was shining outside, the haze that radiated from him could not be dispelled.

Wang Xunxun acted very quickly. He didn't even eat lunch after he returned. He took the knives and sent people out to search homes and arrest people everywhere in the city.

All of a sudden, the city of Chengdu, which was originally a dead city, was full of chickens and dogs, crying and shouting suddenly, and the common people were sitting in their homes, but disasters fell from the sky. Of course, the wolf-like soldiers would not just take the head of the house away. They were all taken away by the whole family, their belongings were swept away, and finally the house was burned down, completely cutting off the roots of the family.

Arresting people, looting fire and burning houses is the profession of thieves, and they did it extremely swiftly. Before it was dark, the first batch of [-] people who were arrested were escorted tremblingly to Wengcheng, the north gate.

Sitting on the top of the city wall, Wang Xunyun was sitting on the top of the city, looking down at the dark heads below, and felt that he was in a good mood. A kind of self-confidence that everything was under control filled his brain, so he admired the left and right sides even more, thinking that a scholar is a flexible mind, Come up with such a good idea.

He asked someone to invite the two prime ministers to watch the grand occasion of the murder together, but they refused to come. alright.

There were people, men, women, old and young, who were all standing in Wengcheng. Everyone was inexplicably terrified. Although they didn't know why the Daxi Army suddenly arrested them, the fool also knew that nothing good would happen. Seeing this place now, this battle should be more clever. Some people have begun to understand that this is killing people!
Among the crowd, an old man with a dignified appearance who looked like a scholar looked around, clasped his two grandchildren who were hiding in his arms because of fright, looked sad and indignant, raised his head and shouted vigorously to Wang Xunxing on the top of the wall: "General, We are all Daxi people, we have always been law-abiding, and we regard ourselves as the emperor's subjects, donating our property to the government has nothing to do with it, why are you treating me like this today?"

Wang Xunxing glanced at it, stood there with the long knife in his hand, slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the city wall, laughed dryly twice, and shouted murderously: "Hey! Old man, you are all remnants of the original Ming, plotting evil intentions To cause chaos, and still dare to make unreasonable words, is it just a display to be the governor's sword?"

The old man in the city shouted for being wronged, and there was a cloud of responders, and the voices of Qu Que rang together.

Wang Xunyun became impatient. He wanted to show off his prestige, but now he was in no mood, so he just made a move. Countless soldiers standing silently on the top of the city raised their bows and arrows. shot down.

There were screams and blood, and the small city of Weng suddenly became a hell on earth.

The miserable screams continued amidst the sound of bowstrings, and batch after batch of people left their bodies here after an hour or two, and continued to kill until the early dusk, Wang Xunxing still had no intention of giving up.

He is impatient, and he will never put off until tomorrow what he can do that day. It doesn't matter if the sky is dark, and he will kill at night with the lights on.

However, there are still many people who are as hot as a fire like him, such as Zu Bian is one of them.

"What? The thieves slaughtered the people in the city?" Zu Bian roared, and yelled at a Kuizhou army spy who was kneeling on the ground: "Even kill children?"

"Yes." The spy licked his lips and said, gasping for breath as he said it: "It's fortunate that the little one ran fast, otherwise he wouldn't be able to slip out. What does Mr. Jiang mean, can you please move ahead and take advantage of the fact that the main force of the bandit army is concentrated in the north?" Menweng City, and the rest are scattered in the city, which can save the people from suffering."

Zu Bian looked at Wang Huan with red eyes.

Wang Huan was dressed in rattan armor, covered in a white robe, and was holding a long knife. He was sitting on a small hill outside the city, surrounded by densely packed soldiers, surrounded by iron barrels. .

"The bandit army is at Wengcheng at the north gate, how many people are there?" Wang Huan asked in a deep voice with a watery complexion.

The spies replied: "About seven to eight thousand people, scattered in the city, there are also about five thousand, and the rest are guarded at the gates of the city."

Hearing this, Wang Huan pondered, thinking for a long time with a serious face, and his ancestors scratched their ears and cheeks in anxiety.

"My lord, what are you waiting for?" He finally couldn't help it: "If it's later, everyone in the city will die..."

"Shut up!" Before the words finished, Li Tingyu reprimanded head-on: "How do you know this is not a tactic to lure the enemy? My lord is thinking about it, so hurry up!"

Zu Bian lost his breath and murmured, not daring to speak.

But Wang Huan stood up, with a pair of shining eyes shining brightly in the night, he held the handle of the knife tightly, took a step forward, and his thick and powerful voice resounded all around: "Okay! Let's do it!"
