Chapter 15 From Small to Large
This operation finally paid off, at least Tang Ning learned from the mouths of these captives that the base camp of the bandit alliance was not Chuzhou, but somewhere else.
As for this other place, where it is, the captives are not clear, they were just making trouble near a small county town in Chuzhou, and they were suddenly dispatched to Daqi Mountain, and the head of the family did not ask to go down the mountain for two or three months.
But every month, someone will transport supplies to Daqi Mountain,
So they don't have to worry about eating, drinking, or dressing, so they don't have to go down the mountain to rob. This time they robbed Yinling Town, they were really idle, and the owner also felt that they would be idle if they continued to be so idle, so they took people to rob a wave of Yinling Town.
Originally, they were just thinking about making money, not thinking about killing people, let alone razing Yinling Town to the ground. But the robbers who had been suppressed for a long time on weekdays couldn't suppress it anymore after seeing the unarmed people in Yinling Town, so this Yinling Town became the current state of ruins.
After sorting out the confessions of the captives, Tang Ning sighed again. Sure enough, one of these so-called green forest heroes is a social moth, and a really good person will not choose to be a thief This promising profession.
"That's all the information we can gather so far, it's useless to keep these people, and it's a waste of food to live, so let's kill them." Tang Ning waved his hand, and then got up to look for Pei Xiantong, who left halfway.
And there was another captive who had not yet left, and when he heard Tang Ning's words, everyone was stunned. hurriedly shouted: "Lord Tang! Lord Tang! ”
"What for?" Tang Ning had walked to the door of the big tent, and when he heard the captive calling him for his life, he frowned and turned his head to look at him.
The captive tugged at Tang Ning at the corners of his mouth, revealing a very far-fetched smile, and said cautiously: "Lord Tang, didn't you say that as long as the small one is finished, you will let the small one go?" ”
"Which ear did you hear this say?"
The captive was stunned for a moment, and then scolded Tang Ning's ancestor for the eighteenth generation in his stomach. The thing of the dog day is not a person, and it actually backtracks!
Then, he heard Tang Ning continue: "The official's original words are that if the official is in a good mood, maybe he will spare you from dying. ”
The captive's face, which was like ashes, suddenly glowed, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the little one should be damned, the little one didn't even remember what you said clearly, that's it, that's it!" ”
In my heart, I apologized to the eighteenth generation of Tang Ning's ancestors one by one, and secretly scolded myself for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
However, just as he thought of this, he saw Tang Ning looking at him with a smile and said, "It's a pity that this official is in a bad mood now, so I don't want to spare you from dying." ”
“……”
No one knows what he was thinking before he died, except for himself. Maybe it's blaming this society that doesn't even have the most basic credit between people, or maybe it's regretting itself
of what was done.
Halfway through the interrogation, Pei Xiantong left. Tangning found her in a very remote part of the barracks, where the grain was stored, and there was no one but a few guards.
Pei Xiantong hid behind the sack containing the grain, hugging his knees, his head buried between his knees, and his shoulders were still shaking.
Tang Ning reached out and wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. She didn't know what to say, in Pei Xiantong's eyes, the residents of Yinling Town should be like family to her.
And if his own family also suffered this kind of misfortune, Tang Ning would do something even crazier than Pei Xiantong.
Speechless, Tang Ning took a sack as a pillow and put it behind his head and lay on the ground.
In fact, the taste here is very good, and the grain carried by the Zhenjiang army is rarely old grain, and it is all new grain. The aroma of rice fills the air, and it's intoxicating.
Pei Xiantong's low sobbing voice gradually disappeared, she seemed to take a deep breath, then turned her head to look at Tang Ning, and said in a slightly nasal voice: "Why don't you speak?" ”
"I'm afraid of disturbing you, and I don't know what to say, so I just won't say it." Downing was honest.
After hearing this, Pei Xiantong lowered his head and said, "Am I looking like a madman today?" ”
"Like." Tang Ning nodded seriously, and Pei Xiantong's head hung even lower.
"But put yourself in their shoes, if I had had what happened to you, I would be more of a madman than you.
Reason never exists in people, it is all forced on you by others. People are very emotional, and only emotions are what motivate them to act. ”
Pei Xiantong blinked, looked at Tang Ning and said, "What you said is too profound, I don't understand, but I listen to you, you don't blame me?" ”
"Why should I blame you?" Tang Ning smiled: "It's just that you are a girl who is killing and still makes me feel ...... Belch...... A bit unexpected. ”
Pei Xiantong's eyes were red, she put her chin on her knees, and began to talk to herself without focus: "There are a total of four hundred people in Yinling Town, and I have at least one person who can name each family."
Most of them were rescued by us from bandits from all over Chuzhou, and they were all people who had experienced hardships, so they knew the truth of being happy.
I rarely see sadness or sadness on their faces, and they seem to be happy every day.
I like Yinling Town, and whenever I feel sad, I will go to Yinling Town for a walk. Every time I see the smiles on the faces of adults and children, my mood changes a lot.
The people sent by the government are also very good, hundreds of times stronger than you, a dog official.
Yinling Town
The memories given to me were full of joy and warmth, but now it is gone......"
When Pei Xiantong said this, two lines of tears remained in the corners of his eyes.
Tang Ning sighed and said, "Do you think that only Yinling Town is like this in this world?
If you know the principle of small to large, you can see that in addition to Yinling Town, there are many places in the world where people live in fire and water.
The same thing may be happening somewhere at this moment of conversation between you and me, but there is nothing we can do about it.
People are going forward, we can only choose to forget or remember the past things, look at it a little, don't indulge in memories and can't extricate yourself, that will only make you fall deeper and deeper. ”
For some reason, Pei Xiantong felt that Tang Ning had a convincing feeling when he said this. Pei Xiantong couldn't say what that feeling was, but she felt that it was very likely that Tang Ning summed up his experience with what he had experienced.
Thinking of this, Pei Xiantong listened to Tang Ning continue: "Besides, Yinling Town is not no longer there, and now the bandits in Chuzhou have not subsided, and we have seized a lot of treasures on Daqi Mountain before.
It is not impossible to rebuild Yinling Town. And this kind of thing to increase political achievements, Han Zhizhou will only raise his hands in favor, and will not object, maybe he will send someone to assist you in this matter. ”
Pei Xiantong's eyes gradually brightened, and she whispered, "Really? ”
"Really." Tang Ning smiled and nodded: "I will also give you all the treasures seized on Daqi Mountain before, and use them as funds for the reconstruction of Yinling Town." ”
Pei Xiantong was surprised and said loudly: "Really? ”
"Really."
"You're not going to lie to me, are you? That's a lot of money......"
"How dare I lie to you, isn't the most annoying thing in your life that others lie to you? I'm fed up with being hunted by you. ”
"Wow! Dog officer! I can't believe you're such a good person! Pei Xiantong excitedly pounced on him and hugged Tang Ning.
Tang Ning didn't have the slightest expression, this woman's breasts were no different from men's, which was really not interesting at all.
However, Pei Xiantong noticed his gaffe, hurriedly got up, said thank you to Tang Ning solemnly, and then ran out happily.
Only Tang Ning was left to lie quietly in this tent full of rice fragrance.
Tang Ning looked at the top of the tent, thinking about the few small courtyards that had been built in Rooster Ridge when he left.
There was one thing he forgot to tell Pei Xiantong.
Towns can be regained if they are lost, and houses can be rebuilt if they are destroyed.
But when a man dies, he cannot be brought back to life......
