Chapter 18 018: Shame (Part 2)
Hearing that these soldiers had nothing to do with him, Shen Tang's tense nerves relaxed and he raised his hand to lower the sun-shading hat. Sitting in the corner, pretending to drink tea, trying to reduce the sense of presence: "Soldiers of the Geng Kingdom...why are they here?"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Shan almost choked on his tea.
This Mr. Shen Xiaolang really did not disappoint him, every problem was beyond his expectation.
“Where are the soldiers of the Geng Kingdom if they are not here?”
Shen Tang: "..."
Intuition told her that she seemed to have asked a stupid question.
Shen Tang tried to save something.
"But this shouldn't be Chongtai, no, the Xin Kingdom? How could the soldiers of the Geng Kingdom..."
As she spoke, she stopped first, unable to finish her words. He covered his eyes with one hand, no Look at the look in Qishan's eyes that looked like a fool - she remembered that Qishan had mentioned the news about Zhongtai, that is, the destruction of the Xin Kingdom and the news that the Imperial Seal was suspected to be hidden by the Gong family - at that time, all her attention was on the Imperial Seal and the Gong family, and she didn't pay attention at all. I have thought about who is the force that destroys the Xin Kingdom.
Now when I look at it again, it is nine out of ten that it is the Geng Kingdom.
This question fully exposed her "naivety and ignorance". Fortunately, Qishan was also used to Shen Xiaolangjun's "unexpectedness" and did not delve into it further.
Shen Tang was embarrassed: "I... don't know much about these..."
"It's not too late to understand now." Qishan seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He tapped his finger on the table three times and muttered silently. "The Dharma cannot be transmitted to the six ears", and the invisible literary spirit surges up and disappears without a trace, "Shen Xiaolangjun will know at a glance I am an aristocratic man who is raised by nobles and nobles. I understand that you are quite good, but other dandy boys may be more ignorant and fearless. Hatred, people’s livelihood suffering?”
Shen Tang: “…”
As long as she doesn't take her seat, Qi Shan is not talking about her.
Shen Tang said shamelessly: "Mr. Qi is right."
Qi Shan looked bored, he just couldn't control his emotions for a moment——
Geng The country's extermination of the Xin Kingdom was something that all three-year-old children and farmers in the fields knew about, but the man in front of him, Mr. Shen Xiaolang, who had a close connection with the Gong family, actually acted like a fool and said he didn't know.
He didn’t know whether to be angry or laugh.
Shen Tang lowered his head to drink tea with a guilty conscience.
"However, the Xin and Geng countries are all the same, and it makes no difference whether they are destroyed or not. To the people, it is just that the mountain above their heads has changed from a faint king to a tyrant..."
< br>Shen Tang was surprised after hearing this.
She glanced at the soldiers of the Geng Kingdom outside the tea shop, and was relieved when she saw that they did not notice them: "Listen to what Mr. Qi said, you have a lot of opinions about the destroyed Xin Kingdom, but before Not that..."
When the two met for the first time, Qi Shan was spiteful because she was "a descendant of the Gong family." Her words hinted that the Gong family was related to the destruction of the Xin Kingdom and hid the country. Seal. Shen Tang thought that Qi Shan loved his motherland very much, but now he heard that that was not what he meant.
Qi Shan lazily raised his eyelids.
"The two are not in conflict."
Seeing that he had no intention of continuing the conversation, Shen Tang had to take the initiative to change the topic and make insinuations, trying to learn more about the world. She pointed to the top of her head: "Mr.... from the Geng Kingdom has such a low opinion of him?"
The Xin Kingdom was destroyed, and the princes and kings were stupid and should take the blame. It is not an exaggeration to call him a "foolish king", but The power of the Geng Kingdom was strong, and the princes and kings expanded their territory during their reign. Qi Shan was actually evaluated as a "tyrant"?
Qi Shan sneered: "If that is not a tyrant, which prince and king cannot be called a 'benevolent lord'? Look, if the tyrant Zheng Qiao does not die within five years, the Geng Kingdom will surely destroy itself."< br>
Shen Tang Bagua became more energetic.
"Where exactly is the 'violence'?"
Just as Qi Shan was about to popularize science, there were harsh screams and curses coming from the prison car outside the teahouse. After a while, there were only the sound of whipping and the miserable screams. scream. Shen Tang looked out through the gap in the bamboo curtain of the tea shop and could vaguely see blood dripping from the corner of the prison van.
Another prisoner yelled angrily: "Even if you beat me to death, I will still say, Zheng Qiao, you are a sycophant and a cheap [breed] for your price, and you will let me lose my father-in-law, wear sackcloth and wear filial piety. Dream about your ancestors! I will play gongs and drums for you, a coward!" This man has white hair, a muscular body, and speaks with a powerful voice.
It was the first time that Shen Tang watched other worlds and cursed literature.
Nice!
Of course the soldiers of the Geng Kingdom would not let him yell and curse.
Immediately hit him with the whip, and with a single swipe, there was a trace of blood. The man gritted his teeth and did not let out a scream or beg for mercy. The harder the whip, the more vigorously he cursed.
The soldier was beaten until he was about to die. The soldier gasped and spat at the prisoner in the prison car: "Unlucky old guy!"
"Mr. Shen Xiaolang just asked, 'Where is the tyrant's tyranny?' Didn't you see it?" Qi Shanxu pointed in the direction outside the teahouse. Worried that Shen Tang wouldn't understand, he started from the beginning, "Zheng Qiao is the current Geng Kingdom. The king, he was born when he was five years old His mother entered the harem of Xin State as a hostage. It is said that he was smart and studious since he was a child, and he was born with a natural beauty. At the age of fifteen, he became famous in the capital. The Lord is great "Sick?"
Qi Shan said: "He is indeed sick, incompetent and lustful. He accidentally targeted the harem daughter of another country, Zheng Qiao's biological mother, and used a clever trick to get him, and also gave him a hostage." < br>
"This Zheng Qiao is pitiful..."
Qi Shan laughed at her naivety and asked: "Do you think Zheng Qiao was forced by power and did it as a last resort?"
"Isn't it?"
Subconsciously, you will think that the foolish king is taking it by force, right?
Qishan shook his head regretfully: "If so, Zheng Qiao would be pitiful, but unfortunately not. He is very good at killing people with a borrowed knife. In those years, he killed many loyal ministers and eradicated dissidents. People who offended him called him sycophant, People who are favored by foreigners will soon be imprisoned. Regardless of whether they are wronged or not, they will have to undergo the death penalty of breaking the palace. ”
What is the capital punishment of breaking the palace?
This is the cruel method used to destroy the Dan Mansion. The destruction of the Dan Mansion's literary skills and courage cannot be recovered, even if the case is overturned afterwards. Zheng Qiao also bullies the weak and fears the strong, and only kills targets from poor families with little background or weak foundation.
I don’t know how many promising soldiers and warriors were destroyed.
In the early years of the Xin Kingdom, the situation was relatively stable, and the national strength was not weak. Even if there was a country that did not go to court 365 days a year, it would spend all day wandering around the harem, working on women, and secretly ordering people to look for beauties everywhere. Even if the emperor is a fool, the life of the people will not be difficult to live with.
But after Zheng Qiao appeared, everything became chaotic day by day.
After that, King Geng had a civil turmoil, and he thought of Zheng Qiao who was staying in another country as a hostage. Zheng Qiao also had ambitions and was unwilling to accept the status quo, so he used money and prospects to win over the courtiers of the Xin Kingdom. After a smooth operation, the leader of the Xin Kingdom relented and allowed him to return to the country.
In just five years, the Geng Kingdom took advantage of the Xin Kingdom's drought and low military strength to launch a sneak attack and attack the royal city. Every time he conquered a place, he would allow the soldiers to burn, kill, loot, and rob the women there, while he would humiliate the old ministers of the Xin State in every possible way.
"Speaking of which, Zheng Qiao still has a connection with the Gong family."
Shen Tang's scalp went numb when he heard this.
She really doesn’t know this.
Qi Shan even said it with a smile.
“At that time, the Gong family was the main force supporting Zheng Qiao’s return to the Geng Kingdom. What’s interesting is that the Gong family was confiscated and exterminated. The men were sent to the border troops as coolies, and the female family members were sent to Xiaocheng Jiaofang. This It was the first order given by Zheng Qiao to conquer King Xin’s city.”
The Xin State (renamed Chongtai) was destroyed, and it is also the current national camp of Tang Mei and Qi Shan.
Of course, it has been annexed by the Geng Kingdom, but its power is not yet stable.
The background of the entire world is completely chaotic, and wars between princely states are fierce.
Tangmei is only eleven or twelve years old now, and she is still in the stage of understanding the outside world. She needs to develop further before she can really embark on the road of applying for a job with the princes, and there is also an opportunity for her to set up a flag and become the king. .
"The law does not spread to the six ears" is the spirit of whispering through soundproofing, while the counterpart is "the walls have ears", eavesdropping on others.
