Liaozhai Great Sage

"Use your father to suppress me? I don't know how big an official your father is in the court, is it a minister of the Six Departments, a minister, or a prime minister? But it doesn't matter to me. If you offend your father, you are offended, but do you know what it is to offend me? End?" Li Xiuyuan stared at him coldly.

"If you offend me, you will have to suffer if you go to the underworld and become a ghost. You are in a dilemma between life and death."

"You sacrificed the city to surrender, only for your own life, disregarding the people of the city, not to mention that the imperial court will not spare you, even I will not spare you, not to mention that you are a mere envoy, even the prefect, the governor, and the general soldier can't get around. I called you here today to let you know why you died today, so that you don't die for no reason, and you think I'm deliberately avenging private revenge."

Envoy Yang turned pale in shock and said, "What? Li Xiuyuan, you dare to kill me. You don't want to kill me, do you? You are a mere scholar, and I haven't mentioned the matter of keeping tens of thousands of private soldiers in captivity. How dare you make a move on me? Killing thoughts."

"Scholar? I'm no longer a scholar. Now I've joined the military. I'm a guerrilla general. Although I'm the lowest-ranked general, I have the right to recruit and form an army without permission. The crime of keeping private soldiers in captivity doesn't count against me. Come up."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiuyuan took out an official seal and showed these people a look.

"How, how is it possible, last month you were clearly a scholar." Envoy Yang was angry and angry, and panic began to start in his heart.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's all thanks to you corrupt officials. The price of buying and selling official positions has been clearly marked in the capital. It is not difficult at all to buy an unpopular military position and a thankless guerrilla general position."

"With the position of guerrilla general, an army of tens of thousands of cavalry is beyond the limit."

Envoy Yang said again that now he hated those corrupt officials to the core.

He actually did such a thing as buying and selling officials.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I'm too lazy to discuss the issue of exceeding the limit with you. Even if it is exceeding the limit, you can't control it. Detain this person. I will go out and kill him personally later."

"Yes, General."

The two soldiers responded, and immediately led Envoy Yang to go out.

Yang Shangshi was completely panicked at this moment, he hastily shouted: "Li Xiuyuan, do you really dare to kill me? I am an envoy sent by the imperial court. If you kill me, it is tantamount to rebellion. Do you want to rebel?"

But seeing that Li Xiuyuan still had no intention of stopping him, he cried again: "My lords, save me, save me, don't let this Li Xiuyuan mess around, I'm dead, you're not going to get any better, hurry up, save me!" I."

The remaining dozen or so civil and military officials had different expressions at the moment, and they wanted to speak but dared not.

They all knew in their hearts how serious their crimes in offering the city were.

Even if it is spread to the capital and leaves, it will inevitably end up being executed.

"Hold on."

A military officer with the appearance of a general suddenly said: "Guerrilla general Li Xiuyuan, right? You are just a casual job. In terms of rank, this general is above you. You should be assigned by this general. You are now beheading the court envoy without authorization. Do you know how serious your crime is?"

"Don't stop, let's go out first." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Who are you?"

"Vice General of Yangzhou," said the military officer.

"Vice Chief? Where's your soldier?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The deputy commander's face immediately sank, and he didn't know how to refute.

"As a deputy commander-in-chief, you don't even have a single soldier around you. What kind of general do you think I will execute this Yang Shangshi alone today? I'm sorry, but you, the deputy commander-in-chief, are among them. Come, take him into custody." Go down and prepare to chop." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

"Yes, General."

Immediately, two more soldiers came in, pressed the deputy chief soldier and went out.

The deputy commander shouted: "Li Xiuyuan, you are a mere guerrilla general who dares to kill me as the deputy commander. Are you impatient? Even if I have no soldiers around me, my position is higher than yours. I want to kill me!" Officials only need His Majesty's imperial decree, even the Ministry of War has no right to kill a deputy general."

"It takes so many complicated procedures to kill you, a collaborator? First cut off your head, and then I will give you the imperial court's orders. Don't worry, I won't make you an unjust dead ghost." Li Xiuyuan said.

"A mere guerrilla general, you are looking for your own death, your own death..."

The deputy commander-in-chief was so strong that he kept shouting.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the remaining dozen or so civil and military officials. Wherever his eyes passed, these civil and military officials were all silent and did not dare to speak.

"It's impossible to forgive you, the court will not forgive you, and I will not forgive you, but I can give you two ways to die for you to choose."

"Please, General, please spare your life. We didn't intend to surrender the city. Everything is under the attention of Envoy Yang. The subordinate officials and others are just obeying orders. General, please forgive me."

These civil and military officials turned pale with fright, and immediately knelt down.

Chapter 432 Red Light from the Sky

Seeing these kneeling civil and military officials, Li Xiuyuan didn't have much sense of accomplishment.

He calmly said: "Don't kneel, my meaning is very clear. There is only one way for you, and that is death. I will give you two ways to die. The first way is to stand up and walk out, ready to be beheaded by me. First, the imperial court will not know about your surrender of the city, so you don’t need to involve your family. The second is to be escorted to Beijing by me, and you will die, but if there are people in your imperial court, you may be able to come back alive. If you are convicted, be careful that your family will be implicated."

"I'll give you ten breaths to consider. It's up to you whether to die standing up or kneeling."

He needs to keep a few people, the purpose is to take the blame.

Li Liangjin rebelled, Yangzhou rebelled, Jinling City was almost captured, and countless people were killed and injured. Who will bear the consequences?Of course it was these people, so they were the best targets to blame.

If these people are not escorted to the capital, Fu Tianchou will have to resist the crime alone, and he will be beheaded and punished by then.

He still has a marriage contract with Fu Qingfeng.

Soon, when the time for ten breaths came, some of these civil and military officials knelt on the ground, and some stood up with pained faces, willing to die.

"Very good, stand up and escort them all out. I will let the envoy Yang fight the crime. After your death, your family should be safe. Those who are kneeling on the ground will be escorted to the prison and brought back to the capital in a few days." Li Xiuyuan said.

After about a moment.

Outside the yamen, even though it was dusk, there were still many people in the city who hadn't fallen asleep. Some curious people looked around and pointed at the officials kneeling on the ground.

"Isn't that the envoy Yang from the capital? Why is he kneeling on the ground?"

"Master Li is also there."

"That's the deputy chief of the army. These are all officials. What happened to them?"

The people in the city don't know that these officials left the city to surrender.

Jinling City is so big, there must be quite a few people who don't know about it with the ancient way of spreading news.

Faced with the pointing and pointing of these common people, Envoy Yang was ashamed and annoyed: "Li Xiuyuan, do you really dare to kill me? My father will never forgive you for killing me."

"If you are the loudest, I will kill you first."

Li Xiuyuan strode over at this moment, he stretched out his hand to signal, and a soldier next to him immediately handed him a sharp waist knife.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan really came over with a knife, the envoy Yang shouted in horror: "Li Xiuyuan, stop quickly, stop quickly, you have something to say, you make a condition, I promise you everything I can do, you can't, you can't!" kill……"

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck.

A head instantly left the neck and rolled to the ground.

Blood spattered and flowed all over the place.
