    ?

    Zhang Huanghu was furious, and asked, "Have you searched all the money in this old man's house?"

    A sergeant reported: "Your Majesty, this old man is very stubborn. We only found some treasures in his home, but we didn't find the cellar where he hid the silver."

    "Son of a bitch, call me!" Zhang Huanghu shouted.

    Two sergeants kicked He Yuxian to the ground, took the wooden stick from the sergeant's hand, and hit He Yuxian on the back with a bang.

    He Yuxian was still cursing "rebel, dog slave". After a while, he didn't make a sound, only the sound of the wooden stick hitting him.

    Zhang Zhiyou looked at beating He Yuxian from the side, with a happy expression on his face, and his eyes sparkled.

    "Stop beating, see if you are still alive!" Zhang Huanghu waved his hand and shouted.

    The two sergeants bent down to check He Yuxian's breath, and after a while, they stood up and said to Zhang Huanghu: "Report to the king, this old boy can't help beating him, he's dead"

    "Dead? Damn, can't help be beaten? You go, search his house and find the money!"

    Several sergeants led the way.

    He Yuxian was lying on the ground, the clothes on his back had been torn, and blood slowly flowed out, soaking the ground around him.

    King Zhu Huakui of Chu, who was kneeling on the floor of the lobby, was sifting through the chaff at this time, and was so frightened that he peed all over the floor.

    The other gentry and wealthy households in the yard who were watching this scene were already dazed and their feet went limp with fright.

    Only Xu Xirong looked on as usual, calmly watching what happened.

    Zhang Huanghu glanced at the wealthy squires with his big eyes. A few squires were so frightened that they almost knelt down on the ground. If it weren't for the sergeants behind them, they would have collapsed to the ground on the spot.

    "Listen well, hand over your silver, and spare your lives!" Zhang Huanghu shouted at them.

    "Take them home to get the silver. If you don't pay them, if you don't have them, you will be killed!"

    The sergeants agreed loudly and escorted them out. Several squires peed on the spot.

    At this moment, Zhang Huanghu looked at Xu Xirong who was standing in the courtyard.

    He stared at him for a long time, but did not speak.

    Xu Xirong stood quietly, neither looking at him nor speaking.

    Finally, Zhang Huanghu raised his head and looked at him again, and said, "The lonely king heard that you are going to bring those shrimp soldiers and crabs to deal with the lonely king in the future?"

    Only then did Xu Xirong look at him calmly and said, "Don't dare. I heard that General Zhang also served the court. He was also a brave general under the command of Marshal Tian Chengyuan back then. How dare I go against the general?"

    Zhang Huanghu couldn't help being startled when he heard him tell his past, and looked him over carefully again.

    It turned out that when Zhang Huanghu was young, he was a police officer of the county government in Yan'an Prefecture. Later, because he was arrogant and arrogant, he could not be tolerated by other police officers, so he was excluded and dismissed.

    Later he joined the army.  Zhang Huanghu grew up in stature, fierce and brave, and brave in battle. Therefore, he made many military exploits and received many rewards.

    He was originally an outsider. He joined the army here and got along with other military households. Those local military households also bullied him as an outsider. Seeing that he had gained a lot of wealth, they were very jealous, so they found an excuse to borrow money from him, and then excused themselves  If you don't pay it back, it's basically a loan with no return.

    And once Zhang Huanghu said no, they joined hands and said that they would find a reason to sue him in the government.  On the land, if you go to court with them, the government will definitely face them, and you will lose and suffer a lot, so you dare not compare with them, so you have to continue to lend them.

    As the saying goes, "A good man is bullied by others, and a good horse is ridden by others". Zhang Huanghu endured again and again, but these people made progress. Even the subordinate officials in the government knew that he was a bully, and they came to threaten and blackmail him. Zhang Huanghu  Although I was upset, I could only be patient.

    In fact, the local military households and subordinate officials bullied him, partly because of bullying, and the other part because he, an outsider, had repeatedly made military exploits, robbed them of their limelight, and made them dislike him.

    These military households have lived in peace for a long time, coupled with the corruption of the generals, they have long lost their previous bravery and fighting spirit. Seeing that Zhang Huanghu, an outsider, is brave in fighting, he can't help but feel ashamed and angry, and try to bully him.

    Under such circumstances, the government found out that one of Zhang Huanghu's fellow villagers had defected to the bandits and became a small leader on the top of the mountain, and he could not help but take him to the county government for interrogation.

    Although being a banditHe is his fellow villager, but arresting him is indeed the method used by the government servants and military households who cheated him on weekdays.

    However, his fellow villager didn't discuss with him about becoming a rogue, he didn't know about it, and he thought that with his own ability, he made military achievements and accumulated money, and he would naturally make a fortune at that time, so he didn't even think about becoming a rogue  .

    However, the subordinate officials and the local military households were on the one hand dissatisfied that he was rewarded for his repeated military exploits, and the other were greedy for the rewards he had already received, so they gave money to the county magistrate, and they must be punished by him.

    In this way, he was convicted of being a bandit and sentenced to death.

    He was resentful at the time, thinking that he must die.

    He is a member of the military, so after the government sentenced him, he was sent to the army for execution.

    It stands to reason that he fought bravely, made many military exploits, and the crime of collaborating with bandits is not real. If someone rescues him, there is no reason to die.

    However, the generals under the king of the general army took bribes, and they didn't care about soldiers like him, treating their lives as worthless, and even sent them out of the gate to be beheaded.

    Seeing that the knife and ax hand had already stood up with the knife in hand, just waiting for an order to be given, the chief general Tian Chengyuan happened to pass by.  Let the knife and axeman and the beheading officer be suspended, and he went to intercede with the chief soldier Wang Yongruo in person, saying that at the moment when the border is employing people, he can't listen to the government's one-sided words to borrow a knife to kill them for them, which chills the soldiers' hearts.

    Tian Chengyuan is the reliance of Wang Yongwei to fight at the border. His words are still very important, and the government and the army have always been fighting openly and secretly, and there have always been conflicts. Hearing what he said now made me think again, and I don't want to take advantage of it for nothing.  The government followed suit and gave Tian Chengyuan a face by not killing Zhang Huanghu, but in order to show justice¡ªthat is, his handling was good, and he didn¡¯t kill him because he gave you face¡ªthe beheading was changed to a hundred lashes.

    After receiving a hundred lashes, Zhang Huanghu was released.  But it is impossible to stay here.  He had no choice but to go to another place to join the army.

    He later learned that the person who saved him was Tian Chengyuan, so he carved his portrait and kept it with him at all times to pray for him.

    After this incident, Zhang Huanghu was completely disappointed with the court and the army.  He no longer sacrifices his life in war.  Later, when the rioters rebelled, he led a group of brothers to respond.

    What Xu Xirong was talking about at this time was exactly this part of his past, but although Tian Chengyuan had saved him, he had never been a general under Tian Chengyuan, nor was he a general at that time.  What Xu Xirong said was to flatter him.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
