Chapter 126 Someone, drag him out and beat him upPucheng, the defense corps court. The excited people gathered together like a swarm of bees, looking at the bound Cao Shaolin, and shouted angrily: "Murderer! Hang him!" "Yes, hang him!" "Don't even let the child go. You must kill him!" Everyone was furious and gnashing their teeth. The people in the defense corps were also in a difficult situation. They need to be fair and conduct trials when doing their jobs. If they kill people on the spot without asking any questions, the defense corps will inevitably cause many unjust, false and wrongful convictions. Therefore, they had to appease the angry people and conduct a thorough interrogation before taking any action. The duty of the defense corps is to defend the county town from bandits, murder and rape by defeated soldiers. They have a strong sense of combat, so there is no question of whether they dare to do it or not. "Everyone, please be quiet..."
"This man killed Tie Niu, a teacher from Shitou City, and a child in Pucheng today. Since the governor has left the city, Captain Yang will be fully responsible for interrogating this murderer." After the defense corps member Lao Liao calmed down the angry people. The local gentry drank their tea leisurely and spoke in twos and threes: "Isn't he just a murderer? Just shoot him. Why go through so much trouble?" "People like this should be subject to the law on the spot." Yang Kenan ignored these gentry and slowly walked up to Cao Shaolin, who was kneeling on the ground in a state of fear and awe, and asked, "What's your name?" "Where did it come from?" "Why kill the three of them?" Cao Shaolin pretended to be scared and said angrily, "I just went in to eat a bowl of noodles, but that kid came and snatched my gun. I was going to take it back, but the gun went off, and then the boss came over and beat me. I told him to stop, but he didn't listen, so I shot him. I really didn't mean it..." "You are lying. You killed him on purpose. Don't make excuses anymore." A man dressed as a waiter holding a towel expressed the thoughts of the people present. Everyone knows what kind of person Tie Niu is. It is impossible for him to beat up customers for no reason, let alone help a child who steals a gun. "So you killed all three of them?" Yang Kenan stared at Cao Shaolin with sharp eyes. "I told you, it was an accident." Cao Shaolin changed his tone and was no longer so timid. He is not a fool. Since he has already seen Yang Kenan's murderous intention, if he does not reveal his identity quickly, he might really die. What would it matter if his father killed all the people in Pucheng? They were already dead. "Killing three people was an accident?" Yang Kenan said in a cold tone, "When I asked you your name, you didn't tell me, and you didn't tell me where you came from, and you kept talking nonsense."
"Since you admit to killing someone, then as the head of the defense corps, I will sentence you, an unknown person, to death!" "Alia, please red messenger!" "Yes, Captain." Brother Liao immediately stepped forward and shouted to the people in the court: "According to the law, we will chop off his head with a dog-head guillotine tomorrow morning." Hearing that the execution would not be carried out until tomorrow morning, Cao Shaolin was no longer in a hurry. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, gave a cold smile as if he was looking at a dead person, and let the defense corps manipulate him. At this moment—— Zhang Yi, a bodyguard during the late Qing Dynasty and now the head of Cao Ying's team, led several of his brave generals into the court in a very arrogant manner. When he saw anyone blocking his way, he would just raise his hand and push them away. In a blink of an eye, he had cleared a path outside the messy hall. Several guards stepped forward to seek explanation, but were knocked down by Zhang Yi in just a few moves. His skills were quite impressive. "Young Marshal, I deserve to die. I am late." "Please forgive me, Marshal!" As Zhang Yi and his three brave generals knelt down to apologize, a group of soldiers guarding outside the hall immediately broke into the court yard and raised their guns to intimidate Yang Kenan and his group. I have to say, these guys are really arrogant. Although Cheng Long knew that soldiers of this era all had a superior mentality and looked down upon ordinary people, he still couldn't help but get angry when he saw this scene. "——He is the son of the current general Cao Ying, 'Young Marshal Cao'. Why don't you let him go?" Zhang Yi did not kneel for long. He simply apologized and then stood up and scolded everyone in the hall. "So what if Cao Ying is his father?" Yang Kenan was not afraid of power. He pointed at Cao Shaolin and said loudly: "He is a murderer. He will be executed tomorrow morning." "My army will arrive tomorrow. Once Marshal Cao takes over Pucheng, we will be the law." "Let go!" Zhang Yi suddenly shouted loudly, scaring some of the people around him so much that they trembled all over. In this era, people fear soldiers more than they respect them, especially when they come in groups to cause trouble. "You can talk first after you can break in. If you dare to rob people, I will execute you on the spot." Yang Kenan retreated to Cao Shaolin, grabbed Cao Shaoshuai's neck and pinched him so hard that he rolled his eyes. "Stop it, don't do this." Shen Ding, who was behind Zhang Yi, suddenly shouted. "you dare?" Zhang Yi glared at him angrily. "If you kill someone, you must be punished." Yang Kenan's attitude was very firm, and the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger. "Then let me kindly remind you that if he dies, everyone in your city will be buried with him." Zhang Yi was only thinking about climbing up the ladder, and even though he knew that Cao Shaolin had killed people like crazy, he still had to protect him.
Because everything he has now was given by Marshal Cao. "It's difficult, or just forget it. The overall situation is more important, the overall situation is more important!" When Boss Liu, the richest man in Pucheng, heard that if he killed Marshal Cao, he would be killed as well, he finally couldn't sit still. Yang Kenan, however, had a stubborn and indifferent attitude, staring at Zhang Yi, obviously on guard against an attack from the other party. "Colonel Zhang, breaking the law is breaking the law. I am the young marshal and I have no special privileges. Tell them to put down their guns and take their people away." Cao Shaolin's favorite thing to do is to play with people's hearts. The more upright Yang Kenan behaves now, the more difficult it will be to end the situation in the end. For him, this is a rare fun thing in life. Especially when you see the person who wants to tear you into pieces, and then see the distressed expression on his face when he personally unties the bracelet and lets the tiger go back to the mountains, you will feel particularly comfortable. Zhang Yi was quite helpless about this, but he had to cooperate, so he could only nod, turned his head and scanned everyone, threatening: "I will bring people into the city to pick them up tomorrow morning. If the young marshal loses a hair, this city will be littered with corpses and rivers of blood." "I do not believe!" A very inappropriate sentence suddenly rang in everyone's ears. In an instant, everyone turned their eyes to one side and looked at Cheng Long who spoke. The people beside him stepped aside one after another, fearing that they would be misunderstood as being in the same group. "Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense in such an occasion? Come on, drag him out and beat him up. It's lucky he's not dead." Boss Liu, who was frightened by Zhang Yi, was shaking with anger. He could have persuaded Captain Yang to release the hostages, but this kid who came from nowhere dared to interfere. If trouble arose, all the people in Pucheng would die. Of course. Boss Liu doesn't care about the safety of others. He only cares about himself, his eight concubines, and more than twenty children. "Yes." Wang Weihu, who was hired by Boss Liu as a security guard, immediately led his men to rush over. "Go away." Cheng Long kicked up suddenly, and the strong Wang Weihu flew backwards uncontrollably. Several people behind him who didn't know their own limitations tried to reach out to catch him, but were knocked to the ground by Wang Weihu. In an instant, the scene was in chaos. Countless people suffered and fell to the ground. Yang Kenan, Zhang Yi, and Ma Feng who was hiding nearby all showed expressions of horror when they saw this scene. This kick would require at least thirty or forty years of practice, and they were not sure they could block it. "who are you?" Zhang Yi frowned. A powerful warrior was indeed a difficult person to deal with, but he brought a team of elite soldiers with him, so it would be easy to kill him. Even a hairy zombie with iron bones might not be able to withstand a salvo of fifty or sixty spears. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will be unemployed soon. Now I'm giving you a chance. If you follow me, I can guarantee that you will become a general. Are you interested?" Cheng Long wanted to establish a career here, so recruiting Zhang Yi was much better than recruiting Ma Feng. Because Zhang Yi is ambitious, capable and driven, while Ma Feng is used to being dissolute and not ruthless enough, he is not suitable to be recruited as a subordinate. Lao Liao, who is beside Yang Kenan, is better than Ma Feng.
"just you?" Zhang Yi's eyes flickered and he instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw Cheng Long's clear eyes and the other person's special temperament, he hesitated. "It seems that you are not that loyal. Since you are tempted, just stay aside and let me see if your young commander Cao is really not afraid of death." Cheng Long strolled leisurely towards Cao Shaolin with relaxed steps. The defense team led by Yang Kenan remained silent and watched quietly. Although Boss Liu and the other gentry wanted to reprimand them, they were afraid of angering them, especially Boss Liu who had just spoken. They wanted to shrink into a corner so that Cheng Long would not see them. "stop!" Zhang Yi shouted loudly and took a sudden step forward, approaching Cheng Long as fast as a cheetah. When the distance between him and Cheng Long was less than two meters, he suddenly raised his arm and delivered a palm strike with a force as powerful as splitting a mountain. Unexpectedly, Cheng Long arrived first, grabbed his wrist, and with a "click", broke his hand bones. Then, Zhang Yi was kicked away by Cheng Long lightly, and the whole person rolled like a rolling stone from the hall to the gate of the courtyard, and fell heavily on the human wall, knocking down more than a dozen soldiers. puff! A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out. Zhang Yi closed his eyes and fainted. “Is this person a human or a ghost?” Cao Shaolin, who had been pretending, finally showed a hint of fear in his eyes. "Shoot, shoot..." Deputy head Shen Ding said in a panic. The soldiers blocking the gate immediately formed up in an orderly formation and pointed their guns at the people in the hall. Obviously, this is a well-trained elite force. "what……" Boss Liu was so frightened that he trembled and quickly stepped aside, hiding under a wooden pillar. The rest of the gentry either slipped into the back hall or overturned the table and lay on the ground. The scene suddenly became a mess. Hundreds of people outside the hall were trembling with fear and subconsciously retreated to the sides, leaving a large space for fear of encountering an unexpected disaster. (End of this chapter)
