Chapter 46 Uninvited Guest
Wan Feng never expected that the final outcome would be execution by his clan.
Over the years, he has chosen to give in to Linghuye’s pressing steps. He has endured Linghuye’s efforts to divide, disintegrate, win over his close generals, and install his own direct subordinates. .
He just loves money and just wants to be a peaceful rich man.
My son Wanyou took advantage of the barbarian sneaking into the pass to find Chen Liang, borrowed soldiers from Chen Liang, and then pretended to be a barbarian and massacred three villages and towns, and received a large amount of money. According to his conscience, he , he really didn’t know at first.
He didn't react until a large amount of gold and silver entered his village.
But what can we do at this time?
Is it righteousness to destroy relatives?
Of course that is impossible.
We can only discuss with Chen Liang how to make this matter watertight.
Chen Liang was promoted by him from a humble position, from a young soldier to a fifth-rank general. He was also married to the daughter of Wan's concubine, so he could be trusted.
It’s just that he never expected that Commander Linghu is so short of money now that he can get money, win the hearts of the people, and win the hearts of the military by delivering it to his door. He can kill three birds with one stone. If he missed the matter, would Linghuye still be considered a master of the art of war?
Linghu Ye pointed his finger at Wan Feng. Naturally, Wan Feng could not restrain himself. He was still trying to find a solution, but his son Wan You made another stupid move and actually wanted to kill Chen Liang.
This plunged Wan Feng into an abyss of eternal destruction.
Originally, as long as Chen Liang did not betray him, he would still have room to maneuver. Now that his son has been arrested, Chen Liang is completely discouraged when faced with the fact that Wan You wants to silence him. Vomited everything out.
Looking back at Wan You who was kneeling behind him and being tied up by Wu Huada, Wan Feng just regretted not killing this bastard earlier.
It was precisely because of his pampering that he developed this lawless character, which ultimately harmed the entire clan.
Looked up to the execution platform.
Most of his former colleagues were looking at him on the stage,
Their expressions were also extremely complicated.
There is joy, there is fear, there is sympathy, there is indifference...
"Linghu Ye has a disloyal heart, excludes dissidents, frames blame, excludes dissidents, Wang De, Xiao Changche, today you sit back and watch me If you are killed, it will be you tomorrow!" Wan Feng suddenly jumped up and roared.
A soldier standing behind him kicked Wan Feng in the crook of his leg. Wan Feng fell to his knees as his legs went weak. The soldier stretched out his hand again and twisted slightly. Wan Feng's mandible was immediately dislocated. He whined, but he could no longer speak.
Looking at the soldier's extremely skilled skills, he was obviously a veteran.
Poor Wan Feng was once a master of the eighth level of Xuanyuan. Although his martial arts was neglected these years due to his enjoyment, he was also a tough guy who fought on the battlefield in his early years. However, he was abandoned by Chang Jian when he was captured. Having mastered martial arts, to be so humiliated by an ordinary soldier at this moment made many generals on the stage feel sad.
Wang De's eyelids jumped, but he pointed his halberd at Wan Feng and shouted loudly: "Thousand thieves, you still have the nerve to complain here. How can you blame the thousands of people in Hejiazhai and other three places? You actually killed people and robbed wealth, and you are in the same category." , It's a shame for us. It's ridiculous to still sow discord here when death is imminent."
The generals on the stage only reacted when Wang De spoke. This is the time to express their attitude. Ah, if you don't speak at this time, won't it make the commander think that we sympathize with this guy?
That would not be great.
Besides, it is certain that this guy committed murder and committed catastrophe, and he was not unjust at all. Everyone was very jealous when they saw several big silver balls rolling out of his house.
There was a lot of shouting and scolding on the stage, and some people were so eager to perform that they actually took off their boots and smashed them at Wan Feng.
Everyone was practicing martial arts, and they were very accurate when throwing things. The boot hit Wan Feng right in the face.
Li Guohua, who was the chief supervisor, sat on the main seat and looked at everyone with a smile.
He was very satisfied.
But when he turned his eyes to Xiao Changche, his smile faded slightly.
Xiao Changche looked at the scene of the demons dancing on the stage with some disgust. He stood up and said to Li Guohua: "The commander asked us to come and give Wan Feng a ride, and I am here too. I have something else. It’s important, let’s go first!”
Regarding Xiao Changche, Li Guohua didn't have any airs. He stood up and cupped his hands and said: "If you have something to do, just go and do it. The commander asked everyone to come here just to answer a story!"
Xiao Changche nodded. He turned around and left, but when he walked in front of the guy who threw the boot, he stepped on the guy's bare instep. The guy screamed, hugged his feet and jumped up, wanting to yell. But when he turned around and saw Xiao Changche's cold gaze, he immediately shut his mouth.
Xiao Changche stepped down and walked away.
Zhang Ruo is also standing in the audience at this moment. Of course, he didn't want to come, but he was pulled over by the people in the camp.
As a prisoner before being dispatched to the army, his position is very special, it is directly below the execution platform.
Zhang Ruo was still very angry when he first heard that Linghu Ye was going to kill General Wei, who was a third-grade official. Because General Wei was appointed by the imperial court, he could only be dealt with by the imperial court. Linghuye's actions were overstepping his authority, domineering, and a symbol of his ambition.
But after listening to the clerk on the stage loudly announcing Wan Feng's crimes word by word, Zhang Ruo felt that if such a cruel and harming person was not killed, why would the people be angry?
The people watching the excitement had already thrown vegetables, bangs, earthenware, garbage and other things at the Wan clan. Many Wan clan members were already suffering from bruises and swollen faces. At this moment, men and women, old and young, some closed their eyes and waited for death, some cried bitterly, and some shouted injustice. Clan execution!
Wan Feng committed such a crime, and to be honest, this punishment is not excessive.
Killing more than a thousand people and seizing their property for his own use is such a shocking thing. It is truly an eye-opening thing that he has never seen before.
Xiao Changche was not in a good mood.
Wan Feng has been a wood carving and clay sculpture in the past two years, but as long as it is still here, Linghuye still has to worry about it. If he had not committed such a serious crime, Linghuye actually wanted to be so clean and tidy. It is really not an easy task to kill people and seize their wealth.
In the past, Wan Feng could more or less share some of the pressure for him. Now that he is dead, the persecution he may face will obviously increase.
The death of Wan Feng will still have a great impact on the military structure outside the Pass. Will the imperial court send another General Wei?
I'm afraid it's unlikely.
If the court wanted to deal with Linghuye toughly, Zhang Ruo would not appear outside the customs.
It is very likely that Linghuye will recommend one of his own to serve as General Wei, and this person is most likely Li Guohua.
At this juncture, the imperial court will definitely not refute Linghuye's face.
The South is newly defeated, the Queen Mother of Southern Chu is aggressive, and the road to peace talks is full of difficulties. At this moment, it is obvious that the court will not let other troubles arise outside the pass.
Linghuye's power will expand even more next year.
And the grasshoppers outside the pass will naturally follow the wind and fall towards him.
I am afraid that many of the local factions who originally supported me will turn to Linghuye.
In the past two years, these people have become more sophisticated. Li Guohua and Linghu Zhishu have been poaching secretly. The local faction outside the customs is also excited now.
If one day Linghuye raises an army to compete in the world, then if everyone follows him, they will get more. If he succeeds, we will be the founding heroes of the country. If he fails, everyone will retreat outside the customs, it will not be a big deal.
When competing in the world, once they fail, the unlucky ones are all the leaders. The followers below actually still have many choices. This kind of investment is not big, but it can make you rich for generations. Many people are ready to do it.
But I only think about the Northern Expedition and the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty. For the local faction, the attraction is getting weaker and weaker.
After all, if you fight with Beiyuan and win, you won't get anything. Beiyuan is poorer than Guanwai, and the losses in the war with Beiyuan are really too great.
Typically, there is a lot of investment and little return.
The name thing is really of no use to the locals outside the customs.
Those who firmly support him are those who have a blood feud with Bei Yuan, but these people are not strong. Because their strength had been almost wiped out by Bei Yuan during their feud with Bei Yuan.
The road ahead is indeed becoming increasingly difficult.
Becoming Linghuye’s sword, helping him to clear up the inside of the pass first, and then being able to take charge outside the pass, integrate his strength, and attack the Yuan with all his strength. Xiao Changche is actually not willing to take this path.
Because there are too many uncertainties.
When that time comes, will Linghuye let him go back outside the customs?
I'm afraid it's impossible.
Isn’t he worried that he will become the second Linghuye?
I returned to the Xiao family’s mansion sadly.
“Get all the craftsmen of the Wan clan and his family’s workshop?” Luo Hua was surprised and happy, “The craftsmen of the Wan clan are well-known outside the customs, but this time the commander-in-chief treated you very well. Generous!"
"If you want to take something, you must give it first. Our commander knows this very well!" Xiao Changcai said: "I am going to take these craftsmen back to Yuan'an. ”
"Of course you have to take it back to Yuan'an, that's where your foundation is!" Luo Hua said. "The Wan clan was killed by Linghuye. If these people want to survive, except for you who can protect them, who else has this burden outside the pass? They must also understand this truth. If they go to Yuan'an, they can safely take care of them. You do the work."
Xiao Changche nodded in agreement.
While the two were talking, a servant came over holding a box and said: "General, a man came outside and said he was your friend and wanted to see you. I asked him who he was. Who, he gave me this box, saying that the general would know who he was when he saw what was inside!"
"What's inside?" Luo Hua frowned.
"The little one opened it and checked. It's a devil mask!" The servant's face looked a little strange.
Xiao Changche was furious. He reached out and grabbed the sword he had just taken off, and strode out: "You bastard, you actually came to the door, let's see if I don't kill you!"< br>
