Chapter 23 The ruthless Cheng Jiang
Chen Xuanfeng's words were so resounding that they silenced everyone. Are you going to let the tiger go home? Who dares to take the initiative?
For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Cheng Jiang. No matter from any angle, Cheng Jiang was the person with the highest position among everyone here.
Cheng Jiangzheng was secretly ashamed. He had made a serious comment just now, but it turned out to be completely nonsense. What happened to Daxia Ke? He vomited blood and nothing happened?
Cheng Jiang felt that he was the most embarrassed one at the moment, more embarrassed than Ke Bixie who was being held by the thief. Naturally, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in - those were all metaphors. In fact, he wanted it more than anyone else.
You can leave here by yourself, so as not to be embarrassed.
But he also knew that he could not leave, because he had been the chief officer of these people from beginning to end, and was the person in charge of the arrest of the two thieves. If he left now, how would he explain to the prefect when he went back?
There was no other way. Since the thief had taken hostages and made demands, and since everyone was waiting for him to make up his mind, he could no longer hide. He could only bite the bullet and go forward to negotiate.
"This strong man has invited me. I am in Chengjiang, and he is the head catcher of Shaoxing Prefecture. I am afraid there may be some misunderstandings about the matter here..."
"Misunderstanding?" Chen Xuanfeng sneered and pointed at Peng Lianhu, who had retreated into the crowd. "Just now, the man named Peng also said it was a misunderstanding, but it ended up leading my wife here. Now you also say there is a misunderstanding. What misunderstanding is there?"
Cheng Jiang said awkwardly: "To be honest, we all listened to Ding Liu's report, saying that you two robbed our army horses..."
"That's right! We stole your horse, what happened? Is this a misunderstanding? Isn't it? This is true!"
Chen Xuanfeng thought to himself that since his wife had handed over her real background, it would be better to just stay a bachelor, accept the incident directly, and become a standard disciple of Dongxie.
What is a standard Dongxie disciple?
To use a popular saying from later generations, Yaoshi Dongxiehuang’s attitude towards life is that a strong life does not need explanation.
To give you the most typical example, in the original time and space, Huang Yaoshi obviously did not kill the Five Jiangnan Monsters, but Ke Zhene had to accuse him unjustly, and he really admitted it. Yes, you are right, I was the one who killed him. What did you do?
Right? Bite me?
In the same way, now that Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng have indeed snatched military horses, why should they deny it? It would be great to simply learn from the tough master, wouldn't it be delicious?
Anyway, you have your hostage in hand, so what will happen if you admit it? Do you dare to trade it with Ke Bixie's life?
This is called the situation being stronger than the person!
"The strong man has misunderstood. I didn't mean it that way."
As expected, Cheng Jiang, who was almost completely reasonable, actually started to speak down.
Chen Xuanfeng did not buy this account, and directly retorted: "Then what do you mean? Did I not speak clearly enough? Let me say it again, you let your subordinates make way, and I and my wife will be released as soon as they leave Shaoxing!"
Cheng Jiang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "That's not what I want to say. Please listen to me, strong man. My magistrate has always been interested in recruiting wealthy people and benevolent people. Now before I come, the magistrate also
He once warned that as long as the heroes committed no capital crimes and did not collude with the Jin Kingdom to harm the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, they could be forgiven as appropriate and accept as much as possible..."
Chen Xuanfeng listened very impatiently. He didn't know when the master would catch up. How could he have the time to listen to his nonsense?
He directly waved his hand to interrupt: "Whether I have committed a capital crime or not is not up to you? But whoever dares to say that I colluded with the Jin Kingdom is seeking death. I have never known anyone from the Jin Kingdom, not even one! As for your prefect's recruitment
, I'm sorry, I'm not interested! Now you only need to say whether you want to give way or not, and there is no need to discuss anything else!"
Seeing Chen Xuanfeng being so disrespectful, Cheng Jiang's fair and upright face gradually turned red. It was obvious that he was extremely angry in his heart, but he still restrained himself and said: "Both the magistrate of my family and the subordinates are very fond of strong men.
I take it seriously, and I would like to invite a strong man to accompany me to the government office to meet with the magistrate, so that I can have a good relationship with you."
Chen Xuanfeng laughed loudly, pointed at Cheng Jiang's nose and said: "You lied, didn't you? Do you know what my last name is? You don't even know my name, how can your magistrate think highly of me? Who does he know me as?"
Huh? He has never seen me, how could he recruit me? You are obviously cheating, forget it, you are not worthy of negotiating with me, just stay!"
After that, Chen Xuanfeng shook his head at Mei Chaofeng, turned around and left. Mei Chaofeng immediately understood and followed Chen Xuanfeng, but walked backwards facing Cheng Jiang to prevent the opponent from sneak attack from behind.
Seeing that the matter could not be reached, Cheng Jiang sighed helplessly, faced Chen Xuanfeng's back and cupped his hands and said, "Master Ke, I'm sorry!" Then he waved his hand and said, "Surround them, and we can't let anyone go.
Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
As soon as this order came out, many soldiers and government officials, including Peng Lianhu and Qin Gang, immediately swarmed up and surrounded Chen Mei and Ke Bixie in Chen Xuanfeng's hands in a weather-proof and watertight environment.
Chen Xuanfeng had to stop when he saw this, turned around and raised his eyebrows and said: "That's right, what does it mean to show your fierce look? I wish you had been like this earlier? It also saves me the fatigue of carrying a dead pig."
After saying that, he made a move to throw Ke Bixie to the ground. His movements were so large that it looked like he wanted to throw Ke Bixie to death. He was so frightened that everyone around him exclaimed at the same time, "No!"
"Don't hurt Master Ke!"
Ke Bixie was a native of Shaoxing, and most of the government officials and soldiers were also locals. We were either neighbors or neighbors with Ke Bixie. How could we just watch Ke Bixie die so tragically?
However, Cheng Jiang said calmly: "It's not that I don't cherish the life of Hero Ke. It's actually the prefect's order, telling me to invite you two back to the house to see me. If the strong man is really cruel and hurts Hero Ke, I can't do anything about it."
Speaking of which, Chen Xuanfeng was in trouble. If he didn't kill Ke Bixie at this moment, he would never be able to escape. But if he really killed Ke Bixie, he would be even more unable to escape.
Don't tell others, just look at the attitude of Ke Bixie's relatives, friends, neighbors and disciples. If he really kills Ke Bixie, these people will definitely fight against him. I'm afraid that even killing one or two hundred of them won't be able to solve the problem.
question.
But are he and Mei Chaofeng capable of killing one or two hundred people? That's simply impossible. There are at least three masters!
In desperation, Chen Xuanfeng could only nod his head fiercely and said: "You are cruel! Just lead the way. I want to see what tricks your prefect can play!"
