326 The villain has a good will
"How far is this big brother?"
"What's wordy, just follow along."
"It's too tired, why don't you let us ride a horse, you don't have to walk so slowly with us, look, it's getting hotter and hotter."
"Let's go, do you think you are relatives of the emperor? I also want to ride a horse and ride your spring and autumn dreams. β
"Hurry up, go fast, be careful with my horsewhip."
When escorted back to the barracks, Zheng Peng and his entourage said that they did not need to be shackled, but they had no carriages and horses, so they could only walk steeply, and their requests were almost all rejected, and they were driven to the direction of the camp like animals.
Ah Jun didn't speak, just stood silently behind Zheng Peng to prevent him from being beaten by the whips of those soldiers, where did Kuro get this kind of treatment, and he wanted to hit people several times along the way, but Zheng Peng was held back.
Obviously, this was the first step for Hong Zhen to torture themselves.
After walking for more than an hour, not only Zheng Peng was sweating profusely, but the soldiers in charge of escorting were also tired and rested in a forest on the side of the road.
Kuro walked a little thirsty, and when he saw those soldiers drinking water, he couldn't help but lean in: "Brother, I'm too thirsty, give some water to moisten my throat." β
The soldier hesitated for a moment, and was about to hand his skin bag filled with water to Zheng Peng, but was discovered by the team leader and immediately reprimanded: "Huang San, who asked you to give them water?" β
"Team Chen, he said he was thirsty, so...."
"Take it back!" Team Chen said loudly: "Not only you, everyone listens, don't give them any water and food, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite." β
The soldiers present did not dare to speak when they saw that the team was making a big move.
When Team Chen and the others walked to the side to drink water and eat, Zheng Peng saw that there was only Huang San beside him, so he intentionally or unintentionally narrowed the distance, took out a piece of jade pendant from his body and stuffed it in Huang San's hand: "Brother Huang San, do me a favor, you give this jade pendant to your team Zheng, and say that I respect him." β
Zheng Peng decided to buy the team leader, because he found that Chen team not only did not give water and food, but also deliberately detoured on the way to the escort, tossing himself in disguise.
"Zheng Jianjun, don't" Huang San suddenly stuffed the jade pendant back to him Peng, and said in a low voice: "Team Chen is General Hong's henchman, this time he is entrusted by others, even if he gives things, it is not easy to make things, and if he gives it, he will beat the dog with meat buns." β
Speaking of this, Huang San whispered: "The little one admires Zheng Jianjun very much, especially the fact that Zheng Jianjun spent a huge amount of money to reward the enemy, no one in the army knows it, no one praises it, this time... I'm sorry I can't help. β
Unexpectedly, a small soldier in the capital also knew his own business, Zheng Peng was faintly moved in his heart, and gently patted him on the shoulder when he heard the words: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to me." β
Tossing is not torture, the more they toss, the less sure they are about dealing with themselves.
After walking for a long time, when they returned to Zuo Xiaowei's barracks, Zheng Peng and his party were soaked in clothes, their faces were covered with sweat, and they had not rested, and they were soon imprisoned in the cell.
Before he arrived at the cell, Zheng Peng's face changed.
The condition of the cell is not bad, relatively speaking, it is very good, the windows are bright and clean, there are tables, chairs, tea, and a bed and quilt mat, it does not look like a prison cell, but like an ordinary house, however, now there is a very unpleasant smell.
The smell of feces.
"Hurry up, get in." Several soldiers forcibly stuffed Zheng Peng and the others inside.
Kuro covered his nose and frowned and said, "It stinks, where is this?" β
"Where? Don't have eyes to see? This is a prison cell for detainees, but it is not a post inn, and it allows you to pick and choose? The leader of the squad said with a sneer.
Speaking of this, the squad leader said to himself: "Be content, this is the best cell, everything is available, the general takes care of you, and the other cells are cramped and dirty, and there are rats and cockroaches." β
Zheng Peng said without hesitation: "Is it good or not, you know it in your hearts, now you just suspect that we are guilty, and we can't prove that we are guilty, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future, I ask to change the cell." β
Giving you good facilities but giving you a bad environment is more disgusting than being ruthless directly.
Zheng Peng remembered a story, in later generations, many places for economic development, sacrificed the environment, industrial waste gas and wastewater were discharged without treatment, in order to cope with the superiors, some staff members started to use their crooked brains, after the wind to measure the harmful substances in the air, after the heavy rain after the flood to measure the water quality of the river, even if there is a superior inspection, it can also be said that it is a field test, and the surface work is sufficient.
The team leader glanced at Zheng Peng, and then said with a sneer: "Okay, I will convey your request to the general, now just wait." β
At this time, outside the cell was only separated by a wall, someone said loudly: "I know that everyone has eaten enough, you can eat more things, and the rules can't be messed up, you have to go to the latrine one by one, and you can pull it for as long as you want." β
There was a burst of laughter outside, followed by a foul smell.
With a "bang", Kuro punched the wall and said with a sad face: "We are on the battlefield, born and died, and we tie our heads to our trousers to fight hard, and we are the ones who protect these wolf-hearted dogs?" That's how Datang treats meritorious people? β
How cruel the war is, how helpless the reality is, how painful Kuro's heart is, at this moment, there is a trace of distrust in Datang in his heart.
The huge contrast between the soldiers who were wounded in the battle, the beatings for no reason, and the soldiers who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, were framed and blamed and became sinners, this huge contrast, Kuro was very incomprehensible and very angry.
Since I was a child, no one has ever been bullied like this.
Zheng Peng said with some anger: "The tree has dead branches, the family has a defeated child, and the National University also has a minister, second brother, don't worry, I must get back this justice." β
Ah Jun didn't speak, just silently tore off three strips of cloth on his shirt, saw that there was cold tea on the table, poured the tea on the strips, tied one on his nose first, and then handed the other two to Zheng Peng and Kuro.
This will reduce the smell and make it a little more pleasant.
Just when Zheng Peng and the others were inexplicably angry, there was a burst of unbridled laughter in Zuo Xiaowei's Chinese army camp.
"Haha... Hahaha... Hahaha..."
Yao Yi leaned back and smiled so hard that his miserable white face turned red.
When he heard about Zheng Peng's tragic situation, especially when Hong Zhen shut down seven of the eight latrines near the cell, leaving only the one close to Zheng Peng's cell, and saw the long queue ready to go to the latrine, Yao Yi smiled very happily.
After laughing, he patted Hong Zhen on the shoulder and said: "Okay, this trick is good, General Hong is really powerful, this trick not only will not teach the truth, but also make the life of the surnamed Zheng worse than death, it is really amazing." β
After all, it is Qincha, and he has a bit of a status in the emperor's heart, and it is really not good to torture Zheng Peng, so Hong Zhen decided to use a soft knife at the beginning.
"Where, it's just a little trick, just to make Yao Gongzi satisfied."
"Satisfied, but not satisfied." Yao Yi said unceremoniously.
Hong Zhen whispered in Yao Yi's ear: "Don't worry, Yao Gongzi, just now his subordinates reported that the surnamed Zheng took the initiative to ask for a change of cell, and when they are locked up for a certain time, they will be transferred to a special cell, and it is none of our business if there is any damage at that time, right?" β
"These three are very capable of fighting, but I'm afraid..."
"Good tigers can't stand up to the wolves, besides, what if these tigers are not accustomed to the water and soil and their bodies are uncomfortable?" Hong Zhen said with a grim face.
Yao Yi couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, General Hong still has a way." β
"Young Master Yao, this matter is not trivial, if something happens..."
"You can put a hundred hearts" Yao Yi patted his heart and said: "My father loves me the most, seeing that I was beaten like this, even if he didn't kill him, even if his ancestral grave smoked, it's okay, I will bear it." β
Since Yao Chong became the prime minister, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been thriving, Li Longji has great trust in Yao Chong, not to mention a small music official, even Gao Lishi, the prince and princess saw Yao Chong, and they had to respectfully call "Yao Xiang", just a small music official, Yao Yi never put it in his eyes.
After receiving Yao Yi's assurance, Hong Zhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yao Gongzi, this evil breath of yours is all wrapped up in a certain body, you just wait to see the good show." β
The two smiled at each other as if they were treacherous, and there was a hint of cruelty in each other's eyes.
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, Zheng Peng returned to Chang'an with great interest to invite merit, ready to ask for wealth and glory, and then went to Cui's house to propose, but he didn't expect the changes that happened halfway like a basin of cold water, which made Zheng Peng feel angry, depressed, and unwilling.
Angry, depressed, and unwilling it was not only Zheng Peng, Kuro and Ah Jun, but also the group of wounded soldiers who were blown away.
Du Duotian, Wang Laosan, Lao Jin and others hired three flatbed ox carts and slowly drove back, seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from Chang'an, and everyone's mood became heavier and heavier.
Before going home, I was going to take a look at Chang'an in my heart, but I didn't expect a night of shock, not only did Chang'an not see it, but also involved Zheng Jianjun and his party who helped him, and the more I thought about it, the more I didn't feel good.
The ox cart did not go fast, more than a dozen brothers and sisters sat on the ox cart, there were many people, but no one spoke, one by one hung their heads, all the way there was only the "snap" sound of the coachman whipping the ox and the sound of the frame creaking.
For a long time, Wang Laosan suddenly punched the car baffle, and said with red eyes: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't boiled that damn medicine, Zheng Jianjun would not have been bullied by the villain, I hurt Zheng Jianjun." β
"I don't know how Zheng Jianjun is now, I hope he is auspicious, and he will turn evil into good fortune." Old Kim prayed.
"Difficult, that Yao Yi is Yao Xiang's son, who is Yao Xiang? ProtΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and a character who will shake Chang'an three times when he stomps in the imperial court, Zheng Jianjun offended him ruthlessly, but I am afraid... Difficult to deal with the aftermath. β
"Are we just leaving? Zheng Jianjun caused trouble because of our appearance, if something happens to Zheng Jianjun, I will not be at ease in my life. β
"That's it, Zheng Jianjun not only paid us for the room, invited us to dinner, but also gave us money to heal our injuries, such a good person, how..."
"It's a pity that we don't have power or power, and we can't help Zheng Jianjun, alas!"
As soon as Zheng Peng was mentioned, the wounded soldiers were gossiping and hugging him one after another, and just as everyone was talking happily, the driver of the ox cart suddenly stopped the ox cart.
The car was full of wounded soldiers, and suddenly stopped, and some of the wounded soldiers on the car couldn't help but snort softly, Du Duotian turned his head and wanted to reprimand the coachman, but he saw the burly figure riding a horse in front of the ox cart, and the whole person was stunned, and quickly jumped out of the car, and said with some excitement: "It's you, Captain Guo." β
