Chapter 132 Coercion
After dark, Xiao Tianjian entered Ruzhou City under the protection of the army. At this time, there were only a few places in the city that were still shouting for killing. What was more, he saw a team of officers and soldiers who put down their weapons and were escorted out of the city, and a large number of soldiers of the Xing Tianjun had basically controlled the whole city of Ruzhou and were carrying out various alleys. With the suppression, the officers and soldiers who have not yet surrendered in the alley will be killed or expelled.
At this time, Xiao Tianjian's mood can be said to be in a great mood. Originally, he planned to capture Ruzhou City in three or four days, but he didn't expect that his soldiers did not disappoint him. In just one day, he invaded the city and completely controlled Ruzhou City in his hands.
In such a battle, even Xiao Tianjian, the head of the army, felt impeccable. After about half a year of dormant, Xing Tianjun not only did not consume their blood, but also showed a strong desire to fight, and also showed their super combat effectiveness. How can this not let Xiao Tianjian be The Lord of the Army is happy! At the same time, this also proves the weakness of the officers and soldiers at present. With such a strong army, why worry about the world not taking it?
So he excitedly led the guards into the city, and an early general cleaned up the state government and welcomed him into the city.
Poor Zhao Tianci, a native of Ruzhou, was tied up like a meat zongzi and sent to Xiao Tianjian. Zhao Tianci has regained his composure at this time. In order to maintain his dignity as a court official, he blocked his neck hard and refused to kneel down to Xiao Tianjian, but a guard kicked him behind him. Zhao Tianci made a grunt and had to kneel in front of Xiao Tianjian.
Looking at the embarrassed and calm official wearing an official robe and embroidered with a white tonic on his chest, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said, "Don't humiliate him. If you don't want to kneel, stand up and talk!"
The guard let go of Zhao Tianci's hand. Zhao Tianci stared at Xiao Tianjian angrily. After spat, he struggled and stood up again, holding his head high and making an indomitable look.
Xiao Tianjian looked up and down at Zhao Tianci, the magistrate of Ruzhou. He always felt that Zhao Tianci was a little fierce. After thinking about it, he sneered at Zhao Tianci and said, "I'm going to see Lord Zhao!" Ha ha!"
Zhao Tianci's neck was stalked and said angrily, "Dog thief! If you want to kill, you have to scrape casually. Don't humiliate me here!"
As soon as he heard it, he wanted to kick Zhao Tianci. Xiao Tianjian shook his head slightly and said, "Don't hit him, hehe! Lord Zhao is just pretending!"
Zhao Tianci was stunned for a moment and immediately said angrily, "Xiao, as a Ming people, you don't want to serve the country, but you lead the crowd to rebel. What a shameless person! Today, Zhao fell into your hands and has nothing to say. You'd better kill me!"
Xiao Tianjian sat on the big chair that should belong to Zhao Tianci. He leaned against the back of the chair, showed a sarcastic smile, and continued to sneer, "Isn't it easy to die? However, from Xiao's point of view, Lord Zhao doesn't want to die! I don't know if I'm right?"
Zhao Tianci stared and said angrily to Xiao Tianjian, "I, Zhao, am actually greedy and afraid of death? If you want to kill or scratch you, just come!"
"No, no, no! Xiao asked himself that he was not a murderer. As far as I know, Lord Zhao came to Ruzhou for a short time, and he did not have any evil deeds to speak of. For the people, he was basically sympathetic and not a corrupt official. This is also very rare for Daming!
Xiao rebelled and wanted to kill corrupt officials. For you who can still be regarded as a clean official, Xiao will not kill you! What's more, if Lord Zhao really wants to die, how can he wait until now? Humph! In front of Xiao, Lord Zhao doesn't have to do this!" Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said to Zhao Tianci with a sarcastic smile.
After listening to Zhao Tianci, his old face suddenly turned red, because Xiao Tianjian saw through his thoughts at once, which really made him feel embarrassed! Xiao Tianjian looked at him very thoroughly. He really didn't want to die. He was only 40 years old now, which was a good time in his life. Moreover, he had studied hard in a cold window since he was a child. He finally relied on fame and struggled in the sea of eunuchs for more than ten years before he finally became this Zhizhou. However, not long after he took office, he met Xing Tianjun and entered the bandit. In Henan, Zhizhou became a prisoner of the Xingtian Army for less than a year.
If he died like this in such a life, he was really a little unwilling, and this time he was captured, Zhao Tianci felt that he could not be blamed for this matter. Since last year, he has told Wang Jiazhen that if Xing Tianjun entered Yuxi, it would be a big trouble. After the year, Wang Jiazhen was defeated in Ruzhou, so he wrote to Xiong Wencan and persuade Xiong Wencan many times. To suppress the pirates, he must first start from Xing Tianjun. He must not let Xing Tianjun sit in the west of Henan. For this reason, he even made a special trip to the court to write to the consequences that Chen Xing Tianjun would bring to the west of Henan. However, all his efforts have copied the east. Xiong Wencan insisted on cutting off other volunteers before gathering a large army to come in. The suppression of Xing Tianjun is good now. The other thieves have not been wiped out. Xing Tianjun, a tiger, began to jump out of the mountains of western Henan and conquered Ruzhou City in the first battle. Isn't the next step only to watch them sweep the Central Plains?
Therefore, Zhao Tianci didn't want to die, because he thought that he should not bear the blame for the failure of this war, and he also felt that he did not live enough. Why did he die for this Ruzhou City? The reason why he angrily scolded Xiao Tianjian just for a moment was that he wanted to maintain his dignity. In fact, as soon as he said it, he was a little Regretted it, for fear that it would really anger Xiao Tianjian. Xiao Tianjian asked someone to push him out to unload eight pieces or be executed by Ling Chi.
Now that Xiao Tianjian has seen through his thoughts, Zhao Tianci is a little angry, but since he has no desire to die, it is difficult to summon up the courage to scold Xiao Tianjian, so he collapsed his shoulders and lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Humph! Since you see that I don't want to die, so what? Can you let me go? If you want to humiliate me, you might as well kill me with a knife! I, Zhao, would rather die than be insulted by you!"
"Lord Zhao, where did this come from? Ants are still alive, not to mention human beings? I think you have been studying hard for so many years, but it can be said that you are full of experience, and you should be a person who understands! You must also see clearly what the Ming Dynasty is doing. As the lord of a country, he does not care about the people, which makes people angry and resentful. This Ming Dynasty is also over! What's the shame that you don't want to be martyred with them?
Besides, what can I let you go? I just want people all over the world to see that I, Xiao, am originally hanging the people to fight against justice! Kill corrupt officials but not clean officials! Come on! Untie Lord Zhao, return his family, find a house in the city to properly settle him, and be sure to wrong him!" Xiao Tianjian waved his hand.
Xiao Tianjian's words on satellite TV are just like fate. Of course, he will not object. Tietou immediately waved his hand to let the guard release Zhao Tianci's rope. Zhao Tianci moved his strangled arm, sighed, and then bowed deeply to Xiao Tianjian and said, "So Zhao, thank you for not killing him! Since the general let me go, it's better to let me get out of here with my family! It doesn't matter if this official is not good. Zhao wants to go back to his hometown, please ask the general for approval!"
"Alas! Lord Zhao's words are bad. Now that the world is so chaotic, what can you do when you go back to your hometown? What's more, if you lose this Ruzhou city, even if you go back to your hometown, how can the court let you go? It's better to stay here. As long as I, Xing Tianjun, will be able to maintain the safety of Lord Zhao's family! However, Lord Zhao also wants to do Xiao a favor. Lord Zhao is the most clear about the situation in the city. Since I, Xiao, raised an army for the people of the world, I can't let go of those people. Please draw up a list and list some rich and unkind people in the city, and let Xiao return justice to the people!" Xiao Tianjian shook his head with a rogue face and said.
Zhao Tianci couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Xiao Tianjian didn't want to protect him! To put it bluntly, it is just to enclose him here as his capital to recruit other officials in the future! In addition, the requirements put forward later are even more excessive! This is simply directly forcing him to join the group to make a list. If he makes this list, isn't it equivalent to investing in Xiao Tianjian?
But Zhao Tianci didn't agree. His family in the city were detained by Xing Tianjun, and he didn't have the courage to die, let alone his family to be killed with him. Once he didn't have the courage to die at the most critical moment, at this time, he would not have the courage to die.
So Zhao Tianci didn't want to do it, so he had to make a list of some large households in the city under the pressure of Xiao Tianjian. Some of these large households were relatives of the court, some were local gentry, and some were some local tyrants who fled into the city outside the city. In short, these people could not provide Xiao Tianjian naturally asked from other people. At that time, it can still be said that he said Zhao Tianci. Anyway, as long as he doesn't want to die, Xiao Tianjian can button the shit basin for him as much as he wants. He can't help but promise or not.
In addition, Zhao Tianci really hates this group of people. These days, in order to raise military pay and boost the military spirit of the officers and soldiers defending the city, he has been running around the city for days. He wants to ask these rich people to help him take out some money and help him tide over this difficult time. However, these rich people are all miser, and they all cover their money bags and say. They were reluctant to take out the money. If it hadn't been for their stinginess, they would have taken out a batch of money to distribute it to the officers and soldiers defending the city. Presumably, these officers and soldiers would not have no fighting spirit and let the Xing Tianjun attack the city in a day.
Therefore, Zhao Tianci hates this group of rich people more than Xiao Tianjian. Now that Xiao Tianjian has the premise of forcing him, he is not polite.
After Xiao Tianjian picked up the list made by Zhao Tianci, he smiled and said, "You must always do things with reason and evidence!" Now that Lord Zhao personally identify these people, how can it be fake? Come on, according to the list made by Lord Zhao, I copied these cannibal things in the city overnight! But tell the brothers below that if you are not on this list, don't disturb them! Violators should be killed! This is the list drawn up by Lord Zhao himself. It can't be wrong!"
Zhao Tianci's wry smile! Xiao Tianjian clearly retreated him to the opposite side of the court and the government. Originally, this time he lost Ruzhou, which was enough for him to lose his head. Now he has drawn up such a list for Xing Tianjun. It seems that it is completely impossible to go home in the future! I'm afraid that not only will he not be able to go home, but his clan will also remove him from the genealogy!
