Chapter 43 Thunder Means
In this situation, only Liufeng Thief came to kill them and there was no way out. Everyone felt dizzy and almost dizzy.
The timid one even started crying loudly. The brave one could only take a breath and suppress the fear, so as not to make a fool of themselves.
"Hmph! How can you be so timid? We should be loyal to the king's affairs if we die. Even if we die, we should not lose the face of the court!" Zheng Tai snorted coldly, raised his head and thrust his chest, and looked like he was going to die.
Those officials were not as brave as him, and they were timid and did not dare to show off their anger. For a moment, Zheng Taiyang was excited and became a prominent figure, especially conspicuous.
However, no one imitated him, everyone could only wait for death.
"Bang!"
The door opened, and Wu Ji appeared at the door.
"Mr. Wu, is it you?"
When the crowd saw Wu Ji's face, they were surprised and their eyes were staring like copper bells.
"Mr. Wu, did you catch He Wanquan?" The county magistrate's eyes rolled, and he didn't faint.
Only Wu Ji and Huangfu Song escaped in the entire county government office. Although the possibility of coming to save them was very small, there was still a little hope. If Wu Ji caught them, they would completely cut off their hope.
The person who falls into the water grabs the straw, that is also hope!
"I'm not wrong? Lord Wu is so calm, he is really good. But no matter how calm he is, he can't escape death!"
"Who are there around him? How could he be so happy?"
"Everyone is happy. Do they have any sad things and wish they could die early?"
The crowd turned their eyes to Wu Qing, Yang Xiuxiu and others, and saw that everyone was filled with joy, as if this was not the abyss of death that made the officials frightened, but heaven.
"Mr. Wu, you weren't killing Liufeng Thief?" Zheng Tai saw Wu Ji's situation, and a ridiculous thought surged into his mind and blurted out.
Wu Ji was very leisurely and dressed neatly, and there was no way to see the fight. Not to mention, the people who came with him all had joy on their faces. Apart from this explanation, Zheng Tai really couldn't find a reason.
"It's not worthy of killing, but he just deposed the bandit leader He Wanquan!" Wu Ji stepped in and untied the rope for Zheng Tai.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
As soon as Wu Ji finished speaking, there was a noise, and the officials started clamoring.
"Liufeng Thieves are extremely cruel, quick and skillful in martial arts, not that easy to be useless!"
"Mr. Wu's abacus is amazing. It is impossible to abolish the thief's head! It is absolutely impossible!"
Yang Xiuxiu and the others came in and were busy untiing the ropes for the crowd. In just a short while, many people's ropes were untied, and the officials couldn't help but waver in their confidence: "Does they really ruin the stolen head?"
"It is possible that if the thief is not abolished, how can Lord Wu and the others be born?"
"Yes! But, the thief's head is so cruel, how could Lord Wu be ruined?"
There were many speculations, but they couldn't guess the whole story.
Wu Ji ignored them and briefly told the situation. Then the crowd suddenly realized and was surprised by Mo Ming. They originally thought that they were dead and had no hope, but they did not expect that Wu Ji would win by surprise and turn the situation around.
"Shame! Shame!" Zheng Tai looked ashamed: "I, Zheng Tai, as a court official, is not as good as the chief clerk of Lord Wu. Shame, ashamed!"
For Zheng Tai, this matter seemed like a dream. He Wanquan captured him, but he couldn't believe it; Wu Ji rescued him, but he couldn't believe it. This capture and release was like a dream, and it was unbelievable.
"Mr. Zheng, although the robbery of his head was abolished, the situation in the city is still serious." Wu Ji's face was solemn, reminding Zheng Tai: "One is that there are many robbers in the city, and the other is that there are five hundred mutiny soldiers. Once the handling is not done well, it will be a matter of a moment to transform the city into ruins."
The thief and the mutiny soldiers were hundreds of people. Once they were in trouble, they would smash, smash, loot and burn, and turn the original information into ruins.
"It's reasonable!" Zheng Tai frowned, looked at the people in the room, and sighed: "How can we control so many soldiers with so many people?"
Zheng Tai was a sensible person and pondered: "Soldiers mutiny, and although there were people who were forced to do so, they were uneasy to participate in this matter. Even if the official promised not to pursue it, they might not be able to use it for me. Not to mention, there are also robbers in the city, and if they make trouble, the consequences will be unpredictable."
"I understand people! I understand people!" Wu Jida agreed with Zheng Tai's analysis and said, "It is precisely because of this that I am not worried about them. Let's rescue Master Zheng first. I wonder if Master Zheng has good plans?"
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!" Zheng Taiyi said three difficult words in a row, and glanced at the people in the room and said, "We are only fifty or sixty people, and together with the heroes of Wu's military industry and Qiyun Club, there are less than a hundred people, so it is difficult to control the soldiers!"
There are nearly 100 people, except for the heroes of Qiyun Club, who are not allowed to fight. Once they start to fight, they will have to give them a slaughter. However, if the soldiers are not controlled, the situation will still be difficult to deal with, and Wu Ji's efforts will be gone.
"It's great that Lord Wu can rescue us. You can leave first, I'll go see the soldiers now and explain the righteousness. If it doesn't work, I'll serve the court with death." Zheng Tai is not the kind of person who is easy to admit defeat, and he is determined to give it a try.
"Sir, no!" The officials all stopped.
"I caused this, I should pay for it with death!" Zheng Tai was firm.
He said it seriously, and it was not like being fake. Wu Ji's favoritism towards Zheng Tai increased a little more. Although he was wrong, he could repay him with his own life and try his best to save him. This is something that a good official can do.
"Mr. Zheng, there is no need to be like this." Wu Ji had an idea as he turned his mind: "I have a plan, but it's too ruthless."
"Oh! Lord Wu, do you have a way? Come on!" Zheng Taida was surprised. Until now, he was increasingly appreciating Wu Ji.
In the past, he just found that his ideas were novel and his abacus was good. Today's incident made him unexpectedly discover that Wu Ji was calm and calm in the face of danger, and turned the impossible into possibility and reversed the situation.
"Yes! Lord Wu, tell me quickly!" The officials rushed.
"Isn't the soldiers' families in the city? As long as they control their families, they can control their soldiers. This trick makes the soldiers submit, which is a bit cruel!" Wu Ji said his thoughts in a few words.
The army of the Song Dynasty was different from any army in Chinese history. Family members had to follow the army. This follower did not refer to a short gathering, but was stationed together for a long time, even if the Song army was going to fight. Except for special circumstances, family members had to follow.
When fighting, you have to bring your family with you. This is a unique feature of the Song army.
The families who converted to the garrison were in the city. If they could control these families, they could force the soldiers to submit. Soldiers were also human beings and could not abandon their relatives, even if they became robbers.
Wu Ji's move really hit the soldiers' vital points, but it was too cruel. If it weren't for the fact that things were forced to do so, Wu Ji wouldn't have come up with such a vicious idea.
"Ren! Ruthless! It's really ruthless! But it's a good idea!" Zheng Tai is not a dragging person. On the contrary, he is also a ruthless person. When it's time to kill, he will never ruthlessly: "The young master here can only mobilize the people to help us. Well, the city gates must be blocked. In this matter, I can only trouble the heroes of Wu's military industry and Qiyun Club!"
The city gate must be blocked. Wu Ji agreed with this and took people to seize the city gate. Liufeng thief at the gate was guarding with a knife, and no one dared to approach. As soon as Wu Ji arrived, the heroes of Qiyun Club took the lead, and an arrow passed by, and then accompanied by a thunderbolt bullet, Liufeng thief became a dead person and took back the city gate.
Guixin City is so big, with only four gates, one in each of the four directions, east, west, south, north and north, and soon it was recaptured by Wu Ji.
If you take back the city gate and ask the heroes of Qiyun Club to guard it, the thieves in the city will become turtles in the jar and can only be captured alive.
After completing the task of seizing the city gate, Wu Ji returned to the county government office and heard Zheng Taizheng passionately explain the righteousness to the soldiers: "I know that you are forced and you are unwilling to betray the court. I promise you that the court will not blame you. As long as you obey your orders and guard the Return City, you will make meritorious contributions!"
He spoke passionately, but no soldiers believed it.
"Let our family go!"
"If you let your family go, we will believe you!"
The people were holding kitchen knives, hatchets, hoes, and wooden sticks, escorting more than a thousand family members, and were fighting against the soldiers. The soldiers shouted their wives and children's names, with anxiety and worry on their faces. However, the family members were frightened and trembling.
Liufeng Thieves held a steel knife in their hands and were in oppressed by the soldiers. They would not let them go and killed them. Liufeng Thieves were afraid that the world would not be in chaos. They wanted to rush up to disrupt the situation. It would be better to kill some families, and everything would be easy. However, the soldiers were worried about their families, so they would not let them go and surrounded them.
If you let your family go, you will lose your bargaining chips. Of course, Mrs. Zheng would not be fooled. He spoke loudly and made a sound. He spoke so hard that he could not submit.
"There is no such troublesome thing!" Wu Ji didn't have much affection for Zheng Tai's verbal words, so he had to be cruel to deal with these soldiers.
"Thunderbolt bullets, throw them! Throw them into the crowd!"
Wu Ji lit a thunderbolt bullet and threw it at the Liufeng thief who was confronted by the soldiers.
