Chapter 50 Feels Not Right
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
The people in Xixian County who survived the disaster all cheered. However, the surviving people outside the city were no longer living people, their facial muscles were made of cement, and they could not move at all. They looked straight at the infinite void in front of them, and turned a blind eye to the Tang generals in front of them. No matter how loud the shouting sounds were, they did not respond.
Numbness, extreme fear, extreme sorrow, and numbness after being abandoned by fate.
Chen Ying looked at the broken limbs and broken arms scattered on the city official road, and the scattered human organs. How should this scene be described?
Is it Picasso's "Guernica"?
Or is it the "Nanjing Massacre" painted by Mr. Feng Fasi?
The mountains and rivers are stagnant, the sea tides are sobbing, the clouds are low, and the sun is dark. Even the unkind world that looks at all things as straw dogs, closed their eyes and couldn't bear to continue watching this tragedy.
Silence, dead silence, seems to be a blasphemy in this time and place.
Chen Ying was very depressed.
There was no need for even orders. The Tang soldiers holding sharp blades were consciously looking for survivors in the muddy pool of blood. At this time, a young woman raised her fist expressionlessly and hit a bandit who had been unconscious in succession. The woman's pain seemed to have been lost. White bones were already exposed on her fist, but she still hit the bandit who had hurt her silently.
The bandits stumbled from time to time in a coma. Chen Ying took his horizontal knife and walked to the woman. He said differently and handed the horizontal knife to her hand.
"Use a knife!"
When Chen Ying said it three or four times in a row, the numb woman finally came to her senses and stared at Chen Ying with a look that seemed not a human.
Suddenly she took the horizontal knife, clasped her hands tightly, and raised them high.
"Puff!"
The horizontal knife slashed into the bandit's lower body without any delay, and blood splattered, splashing the woman's face. The woman stuck out her tongue, licked the blood at the corner of her mouth, and waved the horizontal knife again.
The Tang soldiers around him, including Chen Ying, couldn't help but feel cold when they saw this scene.
"Puchi, puchi" dull sounds one after another, and soon the thief had turned into a fuzzy ball of minced meat.
"Don't kill me...Don't kill me, I'm not a Qiangnu..."
"Traitor, what I hate the most is the traitor!"
Chen Ying didn't know what, but suddenly there was an unconcealable tyranny in his heart. He yelled at the soldiers around him with red eyes: "You can't be so cheap, I'll peel his skin!"
“Skin?”
Chen Ying's order was issued, and the Tang soldiers around him felt trembling all over.
"This...this is too cruel!"
Chen Ying looked at the hesitant soldiers and shouted: "Do you still ask me to teach you how to peel them?"
It’s true that these soldiers asked them to kill people, and they had no difficulties, but it was too embarrassing for them to peel them.
At this moment, the gate of Xixian County suddenly opened, and dozens of middle-aged men in green official uniforms led by Bugong Township, ran out of it.
"I dare to ask which general was in front of me?" Guo Kaizhen looked at the Tang army soldiers who came to support, and guessed that the official position he came should not be high, perhaps just a reinforcement regiment lieutenant.
Guo Kaizhen jumped directly over Chen Ying and saluted Duan Zhigan respectfully: "If you didn't ask the general Gao's name, where is the county?"
In fact, it cannot be blamed for Guo Kaizhen for being blind. It’s just that Chen Ying’s face, which is as handsome as a beauty, is too deceptive. If it weren’t for someone who knows the truth, it would be impossible for him to think that Chen Ying was the highest commander of this army, and he was also a fifth-rank general Ning Yuan.
Instead, Duan Zhigan, who had a beard on his face, looked majestic and looked very much like a powerful general.
Duan Zhigan looked at Chen Ying's bad expression and was so scared that he dared not answer.
He was one of the people who had the honor of trying to get treatment in the lockdown room, and he was the earliest, so he had a heartfelt fear of Chen Ying.
"Who are you?"
"I am the magistrate of Xi County Guo Kaizhen!" Guo Kaizhen glanced at Chen Ying's face and suddenly she couldn't leave him. He looked at Chen Ying with a humble attitude and said, "Little Langjun, who are you..."
Guo Kaizhen was about to say whose servant you were, but before he could speak, he didn't hear Duan Zhigan shouting: "General Chen, the general manager of Shizhou, will you not let you be arrogant!"
"What?"
Guo Kaizhen showed an incredible expression.
"Are you General Chen, the general manager of Shizhou?"
"Guo County Zun, you are sitting there and watching the rule of the civil servants, being slaughtered by the bandits, and being indifferent. Do you know what crime should you be punished?" Chen Ying's tone was full of murderous aura.
Seeing the people who died tragically on the official road, Chen Ying felt a sense of unrelieved indignation.
Although there were no troops in Xixian County, if Guo Kaizhen was willing to organize the people to resist, there was still a way. Faced with 240,000 Iron Army of the Qing Dynasty, carrying more than 200 cannons to attack, Yan Yingyuan, who was the Jiangyin Dianshi (equivalent to the chief of the Public Security Bureau of the Department), led the Jiangyin people to fight bloody battles and guard the lonely city for 81 days, causing the Qing Dynasty to lose three kings and eighteen generals to kill more than 75,000 troops. If Guo Kaizhen was really willing to resist, only a few hundred bandits with incomplete armor would be able to resist to the end, and at the very least, they could support the reinforcements.
However, instead of organizing the people to resist, Guo Kaizhen ordered the city gates to be closed and refused to let the people enter the city, which led to a massacre outside the city.
Guo Kaizhen said disapprovingly: "I will come to the court to apologize. This matter will not be a burden to General Chen!"
Guo Kaizhen has been in the official career for more than ten years. When he saw Chen Ying's delicate skin and tender flesh, he knew that he must have relied on nepotism. For such people, he only knows how to be harsh and indifferent, and he will never be true.
"Haha!" Chen Ying laughed to the sky, and after a while, he looked calm and shouted: "Li Join the Army!"
Li Renfang stepped out of the line and bowed, "The emperor is here!"
"Strip Guo Kaizhen off his official uniform and kill him to calm the anger of the public."
"You dare!"
Guo Kaizhen shouted in a deep voice: "I am an official appointed by the court. I am guilty of this official and I need to be removed from the Ministry of Personnel. It is not your turn to deal with this official."
"Of course, this general has no right to deal with you, a dignified county magistrate!"
Chen Ying suddenly walked to the bandit who collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly. Chen Ying said skinning, which scared him and urinated.
Chen Ying whispered: "Do you want to die or live!"
The bandit kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Please be kind to the general, please be kind to the general!"
"Whether you die or live depends on your performance!" Chen Ying stared at Guo Kaizhen with a gloomy gaze and said, "Do you know how to do it?"
The bandit was entangled for a moment, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in its eyes.
Guo Kaizhen is not a fool either. No one who can become an official is a fool. He immediately thought of Chen Ying’s real intention.
"You're so despicable, your surname is Chen!"
"Hmph, each other!"
Guo Kaizhen hurriedly stepped back, but he had just taken two steps and found that there was a person behind him pressing against his back tightly.
Guo Kaizhen turned his head and saw that standing behind him, it was no one else who stopped him from retreating, but Xixian County Magistrate Chen Rusong.
"Quickly, protect me!"
At this moment, the thief picked up a short knife that fell on the ground and rushed towards Guo Kaizhen like a crazy tiger desperately.
"Puff!"
A short knife stabbed Guo Kaizhen in the chest. Guo Kaizhen collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.
Chen Ying shouted: "On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the Wude year, the bandits' neighboring Qidi rush to Xixian. Xixian County Magistrate Guo Kaizhen was severely injured and died of serious injuries. Please ask the court to provide as appropriate for the pension!"
Seeing the tragic death of this selfish county magistrate Guo Kaizhen, the military and civilians in the west county were filled with joy.
Chen Ying's troops officially took over the defense of Xi County. Deputy Chief Wei Wenzhong said in confusion: "General Chen, there is actually no need to kill that Guo Kaizhen. This Guo Kaizhen seems to be a disciple of the Wei family in Jingzhao. For the sake of a mere Guo Kaizhen, it is too unworthy to be punished!"
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "The bandits are raging and the military is in full force. I am ordered to quell the rebellion. Although I am not afraid of the bandits being fierce, I am afraid that the officials will shirk responsibility and delay the opportunity to fight."
"Mr. Chen wants to establish his authority!"
Chen Ying nodded. In fact, Chen Ying knew that his real intention was not to establish his authority, but to simply vent his anger and avenge the innocent and innocent people. If those people died at the hands of the bandits, Guo Kaizhen was an accomplice.
Chen Ying suddenly turned around and said to Wei Wenzhong: "In the name of this general, I issued a notice in Xixian County. This general wants to recruit troops to quell the rebellion. I hope the passionate men of Xixian County will rush to participate..."
Suddenly, Liang Zan looked at Chen Ying's big green horse in surprise, and screamed in surprise.
Chen Ying looked in the voice.
