"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 313
?The people holding kitchen knives and sticks surrounded the entrance of the vegetable market three layers in and three layers out. Their enthusiasm made the atmosphere extraordinarily tense.
"You gangsters, put down your weapons quickly, or you will be killed when the army arrives!"
Some soldiers of the Qinghe Army who were trapped in the siege also held swords with their blades facing outwards, and an officer scolded them with a cold face.
"Let Master Qin go, let Master Qin go!"
Facing the scolding of the Qinghe Army officer, these people shouted loudly without the slightest fear, making the officer's expression very ugly.
At this moment, dense footsteps sounded on the distant street, and everyone turned their heads to look for the sound. In the cold light of a forest, the soldiers of the Qinghe Army, who were densely packed, got the news and arrived.
Seeing a large number of Qinghe Army approaching along the street, the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who were trapped in the siege all showed joy.
However, the people holding knives, guns and sticks showed panicked expressions, and there was a commotion, and they were at a loss for a while.
These people gathered not to fight against the Qinghe army, but to save a court official who was about to be beheaded.
This imperial court official named Qin An was an envoy of millet management in the government office of the capital of Luyang Province, and was responsible for dealing with ordinary people.
This envoy who governs millet is different from other court officials. Instead of oppressing and bullying the people, he turns towards the people everywhere.
Moreover, his meager salary was often used to help the poor, so that as the capital's millet control envoy, his family was destitute and his life was quite poor.
Now that the Qinghe Army has captured the capital of Luyang Province, a large number of court officials have become prisoners.
According to the consistent principle, court officials who bully the people and are full of crimes will be beheaded in public in order to frighten the enemy and buy people's hearts at the same time.
But this time there was a bit of an accident. When it was learned that Qin An, the millet governor of the imperial court, was about to be beheaded at Caishikou, a large number of people came spontaneously and begged for him to be spared. Event happens.
The appeal of these common people is very simple, that is, they want to beg the Qinghe Army to forgive this imperial millet envoy.
However, they underestimated the serious consequences of doing so. They panicked when they saw a large number of Qinghe troops approaching with murderous intent.
"Surround them and don't let one go!"
The Qinghe army officer who led the team was a general with thousands of soldiers. After he got the news, he quickly led the team over.
They had just experienced a bloody battle, and they were covered in blood, and they hadn't even had time to change into clean clothes.
These soldiers of the Qinghe Army who had just come down from the battlefield exuded a fierce murderous aura, and they rushed forward, making the faces of the common people turn pale with fright.
"slow¡ª¡ª"
When the soldiers of the Qinghe Army obeyed the order and surrounded the common people with swords and spears, Chen Ziang, who arrived first, turned out from the alley.
These soldiers of the Qinghe Army did not expect Chen Ziang to appear here. The thousand generals who led the team were stunned for a moment, and then rushed over with big strides.
"I have seen the general, I have seen the officers!"
This thousand-member general belongs to the 12th Banner Regiment, and hurriedly greeted Chen Ziang and the others.
Thinking of being able to quell a riot under the watchful eyes of Chen Ziang and others, this thousand-man general also felt that this was an opportunity to show himself, so he seemed very excited.
"General, it's just a few troublemakers in the area, I'll put them down right now!"
After seeing the ceremony, this thousand-person general couldn't wait to show off his skills and perform well.
"You tell the brothers not to act rashly, let me talk to them first, maybe there is some misunderstanding." Chen Ziang stopped the thousand people from suppressing by force.
The thousand-man general looked at Chen Ziang, then at Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner who stood behind Chen Ziang and winked at him, and didn't understand what happened, wasn't it a riot?
"No!"
Although he lost the opportunity to perform, the Thousand General of the 12th Banner Regiment still complied and obeyed the order.
Surrounded by the crowd, Chen Ziang stepped forward, and stopped a few dozen steps away from the panicked people.
These common people were terrified when they saw a large number of Qinghe troops approaching, but Chen Ziang stopped the soldiers from moving and made them feel at ease.??
"Fathers and folks, I am Chen Zi'ang, the Hussar General of the Qinghe Army. I don't know what you are doing by surrounding our execution ground?"
Chen Zi'ang's eyes slowly swept over these sallow and emaciated people, and a resounding voice came out of his throat.
These common people did not expect that the tall and thin young general standing in front of them turned out to be Chen Zi'ang, the general of the Qinghe Army's Hussars.
"Is he General Chen?"
"real or fake?"
"He said it himself, so he can't be wrong."
"It turned out to be the benefactor, General Chen."
After a burst of commotion, the common people were also very excited, and immediately fell to their knees on the ground.
"General Chen, benefactor."
"Cao Min met General Chen."
Chen Ziang was already well-known. After the troops he led entered the city, not only did they not commit any crimes, but they also opened warehouses to release grain.
Because if Chen Ziang did not lead the attack on the provincial capital of Luyang, they would still be exploited and oppressed by the court, and they would still be hungry. Chen Ziang changed all this, and they were naturally grateful.
"Fathers and folks, please get up quickly."
Seeing the people kneeling down with a crash, Chen Ziang was also filled with emotion, and hurriedly got them all up.
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army of the Twelfth Banner Regiment, who originally wanted to suppress these common people by force, also looked at each other in blank dismay. They looked like they were at war just now. How could the situation change so quickly when their general came forward.
"Old man, don't you know what to do to surround the execution ground?"
Chen Zi'ang couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart after helping several old people with his own hands.
After all, although he heard the shouts of the people from behind just now, he didn't know the specific reason.
"General, if you want to kill corrupt officials, we applaud them. These people ride on the heads of our common people and do their best. They should have been killed a long time ago."
"It's just that Mr. Qin is a good official. Instead of bullying us, he often helps us poor people. We implore the general to spare Mr. Qin's life."
While a white-haired old man was speaking, he couldn't help but kneel down to Chen Ziang again, and Chen Ziang supported him.
"Yes, General, you are a good man, and Mr. Qin is also a good man."
"I also ask the general to be clear."
"Lord Qin can't kill him."
The surrounding people also echoed one after another. Obviously, Mr. Qian has won the hearts of the people.
"Excuse me, old man, what does Lord Qin do?" Chen Ziang asked.
"General, Lord Qin is the envoy to govern millet"
Soon, Chen Ziang figured out that Lord Qin's official position was not high, but he actually did things for the people, so the people risked their lives to come out to save him.
"Our Qinghe army will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Someone must have made a mistake. I will ask them to review it again."
Chen Ziang also realized that facing such a parent official, if he was really killed, it would really chill people's hearts, so he immediately promised to review immediately.
"Thank you, General."
"The general is a good man."
After receiving Chen Ziang's promise, the common people also thanked him one after another, which made Chen Ziang flattered. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
