Chapter 679: Eliminate harm for the people
Chapter 679: Eliminate the harm for the people
Chen Ao stared at Zheng Ke aggressively. Zheng Ke became indifferent at this time. The King of Pingxi was so anxious and must have been panicked. Isn’t this initiative in his hands now?
Zheng Ke smiled faintly and said, "I understand your highness's thoughts, but I don't have food. Isn't this a force to force me?"
Chen Ao looked at him coldly and said, "The Zheng family has no food?"
Zheng Kehe said, "But there is no food. If you don't believe it, your highness will just go to the rice shop to search."
Zheng Ke was very calm. In fact, the Zheng family hoarded the most food and the cellar could not accommodate it at all, so they did not move the food into the cellar. But Zheng Ke said this, but instead made people no longer interested in searching the Zheng family's warehouse.
Chen Ao clapped the table and said, "I am asking you. Since you have no food, what are you selling a few days ago? As a Duke of the State, what should you be guilty of bullying me?"
Zheng Ke fought against each other: "Since I am a Duke, what is the name of Your Highness asking me for food? Which national law says I must pay the food?"
"The way of heaven!" Chen Ao shouted loudly, and his whole body had already stood up and said, "The law of heaven is circulating, and the lives of more than 100,000 people are concerned. I am asking you for food!"
Zheng Ke was speechless for a moment and snorted coldly and did not speak.
Chen Ao said aloud: "Come here!"
"At." The frontiers agreed.
Chen Ao said with a look of his sleeves: "Take people there and search for each rice shop again. This time, it is not about looking for food, but about looking for silver. There are also pawn shops in each shop. All the stolen goods will be presented to me!"
Zheng Ke and others all changed color, and it was not wrong to hide the grain. However, the profits of the past two months and the antiques, calligraphy and paintings exchanged at low prices in the pawn shop were all on the surface. If Chen Ao searched, wouldn’t it be a waste of work in the past two months? No one had thought that Chen Ao would give up the grain and go straight to these things, so each family was in a hurry to move the grain, but he never noticed these important things.
Zheng Ke couldn't help but stand up suddenly and said sternly: "Chen Ao, you dare!"
Just now, Zheng Ke took the initiative, but at this time, Chen Ao took the initiative. Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "Why not dare?"
Zheng Ke sternly said: "Do you know who I am?"
These two people who are usually unspeakable are now like quarrels on the street, one is louder than the other, and the people in the hall are so anxious. However, Liang Jian, who was on the side, suddenly became bolder and thought to himself that since he has become the acting governor, I have to do his job in his position. So he said loudly: "The current father-in-law of the country, who has a son in his family, is the Marquis of Changyi, and his disciples are full of Jiangbei. Even the disciples of the dynasty ordered Li Bangyan to follow him. Who is the Duke of Zheng? Who is the Duke of Zheng? No one in the world knows? It's just that the Duke of Guoquan is stockpiling goods and knowing the law and breaking the law. Now he is in this great governor. The mansion roared like this again. What do you want to do? Duke Zheng, my governor has kind words to persuade him today, and everyone has room for everything. Now your Zheng family has been full and earned enough in the past two months. Why not give the people in this city a way out and let King Pingxi and I governor cope with the edict? Isn’t it great to be together? Otherwise, if the generals really start, my governor will naturally be in trouble, and Duke Zheng may not be able to have good fruits. Today, His Highness, King Pingxi, took off his consolation and had already made up his mind to burn both jade and stone. Duke Zheng is a noble person, so why should he do such a stupid thing to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them?"
Zheng Ke glanced at Liang Jian and said, "Performer Governor? Is there an imperial edict from the court?"
Chen Ao sneered: "If the court order is not allowed to sign the government, the deputy will be appointed by the deputy, and there is no need for the imperial edict."
Zheng Ke sneered, "Then I want to ask, why can't this chief official be in charge of the government?" He asked and answered without hesitation: "It's because someone is ill-behaved and kills the chief official. The murderer is in this White Tiger Hall. How can he face the question of knowing the law and breaking the law?"
Chen Ao sneered gloomyly: "My patience has reached its limit. Do you really refuse to pay the food?"
Zheng Ke curled his lips and said, "No food!"
Chen Ao clapped the table and said, "Okay, that's why I might as well break the law again today! Come and take down Duke Zheng!"
Chen Ao no longer had any scruples at this time and said gloomyly: "Kill!"
"Avoid the order!" At this time, the generals did not dare to accept the promise and pretended not to hear anything, but the captains of the two squads picked up their fists and surrounded them without hesitation.
Zheng Ke only thought Chen Ao was forcing himself to submit and said wisely: "Who dares to take action without asking for an order in the current dynasty?"
The lieutenant rushed over and knocked him down without saying a word. The hall was already in chaos. The grain merchants shouted in horror, saying, "Killing the father-in-law is to rebel."
The frontier generals couldn't sit still, so they stood up and said, "Please calm down your anger, you can discuss anything if you have anything to do."
Zheng Ke was beaten to the ground. At this time, he was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, Chen Ao, if you are really a man, come and kill me and see, let go..." He struggled to stand up, stood in the middle of the hall, looking at Chen Ao disdainfully, with a very contemptuous tone.
Chen Ao left his seat, walked over step by step, and said, "Do you say it again?"
Chen Ao's eyes were full of madness. From time to time travel, this was the second time he was really angry. The first time was Wen Xianzhi and the second time was Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke saw the turbulent anger in Chen Ao's eyes, and also felt this powerful murderous intent. He wanted to give in. He was about to speak, and saw Chen Ao approaching again and said again, "Say it again!"
Such aggressiveness made Zheng Ke angry. No one dared to speak to him like this, let alone in front of so many people today. He smiled sternly and said, "Your Highness wants me to say that, I have to say that if your Highness is a man, come and kill me and see!"
Clang... Shangfang's sword has begun to be pulled out of the scabbard, and everyone around him is about to snatch it up and said, "Your Highness, you can't..."
Many of the border generals were sincere. Chen Ao defeated the 100,000 Jurchen Iron Cavalry, which made many people secretly admire him. It turned out that everyone was going with the flow, and today he was also a little touched by Chen Aohui's disaster protection. If Chen Ao really killed Duke Zheng at this time, it would be a huge matter. This person... must not be killed. Kill a Wen Xianzhi, with Chen Ao's holy family, there may be a glimmer of hope. But if you want to kill Duke Zheng, the sky will really collapse. Such a great crime is really too difficult to turn the world back.
Even Tong Hu and Liang Jian came forward to persuade him, saying, "Have you angry," the other said, "I will discuss it calmly, there will always be a way."
The grain merchants were so scared that they dared not say anything, neither persuading nor clamoring.
However, when Zheng Ke saw that Chen Ao was persuaded, his face became even colder and said, "Does Your Highness want me to say it?"
Chen Ao's eyes passed by many people and looked at him. When he heard his words, the long sword in his hand was already sheathed. As soon as the silenced Shangfang sword came out, the first reaction of these persuasive people was to escape. This guy has always turned his back and refused to recognize others. Who knew that his anger would cut his head to the extreme. Just now, these border generals, Liang Jian and others were still busy, but they suddenly disappeared. When they looked again, they all reached ten feet away.
It was only one zhang away from Zheng Ke. Before this zhang, there was no barrier. Zheng Ke was shocked by the sudden sudden change, but he took a step back to show weakness and surrendered. Under the attention of the crowd, he had to bite the bullet and not speak or take a step back.
Chen Ao stepped closer, and the two were only half a foot apart. Chen Ao said coldly: "If the Duke of the Kingdom is brave, just say it again!"
Zheng Ke took a deep breath, pursed his lips and did not speak.
Chen Ao took another step forward, and the distance between the two was only a short distance. Chen Ao held the sword in one hand, and the tip of the sword had already pressed against Zheng Ke's chest. He looked at Zheng Ke coldly: "You think I dare not kill you?"
Zheng Ke's chest was fluctuating, and he was already a little scared at this time.
Chen Ao continued: "Are you going to pay the grain or not?"
Zheng Ke didn't know where he got his courage and said seriously: "Chen Ao, what is the difference between you and a bandit?"
Chen Ao's lips curled up, showing a cruel look, and said, "To deal with you, the thief, I want to imitate bandits. If you don't pay the grain today, you have to pay it. Instead of killing tens of thousands of victims, it would be better to eliminate the harm of the people now!"
Zheng Ke shouted: "You dare!" This was Zheng Ke's natural reaction, but without thinking at all, Zheng Ke blurted out these two words.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Chen Ao's long sword had already been sent forward and pierced into Zheng Ke's chest. Sneak... The tip of the sword was penetrated into the bones, and a slight strange sound came out. Zheng Ke covered his chest with both hands, and then he was surprised to find that his hands were soaked with scarlet blood.
"You...you...you know..." Zheng Ke's face had become extremely depressed and unwilling. He looked at Chen Ao incredible, and then said: "Okay...good...you...I, Zheng Ke, will wait for your great deport in the underworld."
Chen Ao kicked him over with one kick, and Zheng Ke uh, and the blood arrow shot out, and he fell to the ground.
The bright red blood flowed out of his body, and bursts of fishy stench came from the entire White Tiger Hall.
Chen Ao took the sword and said lonely: "Not to mention human beings, I am a ghost, and I will kill you ten or a hundred times in the underworld." The sword returned to the sheath, and he shrugged and said to all the stunned people: "If you don't kill him, you will not be a man? It's not a man. Wouldn't this prince-in-law lose all the face of the world? So, I had to complain to Duke Zheng."
"Your Highness..." Liang Jian had already smiled bitterly and looked at Zheng Ke's body, and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness knows that if you killed him today, your highness's life..."
Chen Ao said loudly: "Today we have to worry about the lives of more than 100,000 people in Taiyuan City. If the king of Hell cannot take away my life, he will not dare to take it away. If you talk less, you will return to your original position. I have something to say." His face did not show too much murderous aura, but at this time his words were more effective than the imperial edict. In an instant, everyone returned to their original position, and looked at Chen Ao in awe.
