59.Chapter 59
Dian Wei's beard was all open, the tiger roared, and his arms and feet were forced, trying to break free.
However, Zhang Yong already knew that Dian Wei was brave and fierce, and the iron shackles and anklets he put on were all specially made, no matter how hard Dian Wei tried, he couldn't break free.
Seeing this, Chen Xu sighed and said guiltily: "Brother, since the eunuch has designed to catch me, he won't let me escape so easily." But I don't want to, because of me, to affect my brother Ruosi! ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Xu's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes. He has an unshirkable responsibility for things to get it like this.
Since he has made a feud with Zhang Gong and knows that the angel is Zhang Gong's righteous son, he should have made plans early.
It's just that he still has a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that this person can take care of the overall situation. If he were to deal with himself at this juncture, he would certainly be criticized.
That's why Chen Xu repeatedly endured it, just for the sake of that illusory hope.
After all, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion is now, the power of the world is still in the hands of the Han family.
To be an enemy of angels is to be an enemy of the Han family. Although he had planned for a long time and left a way back for himself, he would not want to embark on this road unless he was forced to do so.
However, this time due to his indecision, many people lost their lives. Even he and Dian Wei are afraid that they will die.
Dian Wei found that he could not break free from the shackles on his body, and he was a little gloomy. No matter what the situation encountered before, with the weapon in his hand, he was able to fight his way out.
Now he is like a beast trapped in a cage, and the majesty of the past is no longer there.
Turning his head to look at Chen Xu, seeing that his eyes were full of tears and a guilty face, Dian Wei couldn't help but be furious, and said angrily: "If the eldest husband dies, he will die, why do you act like this daughter?" ”
"A certain has always respected Wen Zhao as a true hero. You and I are brothers, and although we are in a cage, we have never resented them. With such a gesture, will not the onlookers look down on us? ”
Dian Wei somewhat hates the meaning that iron is not made of steel, he is bold, and righteousness comes first. At the beginning, it was just that his fellow villagers were insulted, so he killed people in anger.
How can such a character feel sorry for himself because he was involved by his own brothers?
The two have been friends for so long, he never believes that Chen Xu will be afraid of death, and he also thinks that the reason why Chen Xu is like this is because he feels guilty about himself.
When Chen Xu heard this, he wanted to wipe away his tears, but found that his hands couldn't move.
He stabilized his mood for a long time, and said solemnly: "Brother and I, brother, even if Brother Xu is ashamed in his heart, it will not be like this. ”
"The people I am ashamed of are these people who followed me out of Chenjia Village. Most of them were killed or injured because of me, and when they first heard about it, they couldn't help but feel sad. ”
Hearing this, Dian Wei stopped talking. At this time, he also noticed another group of prisoners, there were only a dozen left, and they were all people who followed Chen Xu out of Chenjia Village.
Zhang Yong tried to make Chen Xu feel insulted by parade through the streets. However, the actual situation is not as he imagined.
There were many onlookers, but none of them abused Chen Xu and others, but many people sympathized with them. Although he didn't dare to fight for them, he whispered in private and scolded the angels in his heart.
Chen Xu is a native of Puyang, as a civilian, he first killed Zhang Qi's family, and named Yangzhou County for the people. Then he led the rebel army and defeated the Yellow Turban Army repeatedly.
It can be said that the current Chen Xu, in the hearts of many Puyang people, is an unscrupulous hero. It is the object of worship of many teenagers, and it is also a positive teaching material for many parents to teach their children.
It started at the end of the micro, and self-improvement, just reached the crown, and there was such a thing. In this era when the scholars, gate valves, and heroes control the world, Chen Xu is tantamount to a legend.
It is not for nothing that there are people who have achieved something with the body of a small end, but there is no one like Chen Xu, who is so close to the people of Puyang.
The county guard, today's officials have all become new faces. Zhang Yong sat in the position of the Taishou, listening to the flattery of the people below, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Although he is Zhang Gongyi's son, he is only a small eunuch in the palace, even Zhang Gong himself, among the ten permanent servants, is not a powerful character.
It is said that there are ten permanent servants, but in fact there are twelve eunuchs, they are Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Gui, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian.
Among them, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are the most powerful. As for what is said in the romance, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Zhen, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng are the ten permanent servants, but it is nonsense.
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about Jian Shuo, this person is strong and has a martial strategy, and he is favored by Emperor Ling. In the fifth year of Zhongping, he was appointed as a captain in Xiyuan, and he was appointed as a military captain and was in charge of the forbidden army. It can be said that although he is a eunuch, he does not exercise power, and coupled with his bravery, he is regarded as a confidant by Emperor Ling.
Not to mention the emperor and empress, Zhang Yong has always been submissive in front of these eunuchs and their righteous sons. Only now did he know that being flattered was a wonderful thing.
"Angels are above, Qiao Mao has always hated Zhongjuan, and now that he has been put in prison, why not?" Jun Cheng, who was previously in prison, wiped his neck with his hand, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
He defected to Zhang Gong and was at odds with Qiao Mao. After Zhang Qi's family was killed, Qiao Mao took the opportunity to take charge of Dongjun. Those who colluded with the Ten Standing Attendants were either forced to hang their seals or sent to prison.
This person was the one who was put in prison by Qiao Mao. He thought that Zhang Gong would rescue him soon and give Qiao Mao back the color, but he didn't expect that it would be delayed until now.
Therefore, he hated Qiao Mao very much, and after he was released from prison and learned that Qiao Xuan had died, he wanted to kill Qiao Mao to vent his anger.
He didn't know that Qiao Mao's actions caused a storm in Luoyang, and many scholars were excited about it and came forward to impeach the eunuchs. The ten permanent servants were helpless, so they endured it until today.
This time, in order to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge on Chen Xu, Zhang Gong owed a lot of favors to the other eunuchs, and they all helped Zhang Gong slander in front of the emperor. That's why Zhang Yong came to Puyang as an angel.
It is true that the power of the Ten Standing Servants is monstrous, but they have too many enemies, and they are also constrained everywhere. Once there is a chance, those so-called scholars will definitely mind taking a bite back.
Zhang Gong sent him this time, and the primary purpose was to execute Chen Xu. As for Qiao Mao, although he can be stripped of his official position, he can't do anything to him.
Qiao Mao is in Shilin, after all, she has a pivotal identity. Just by pulling him off the horse, the eunuchs could still withstand the pressure of the court. If he is executed, not to mention the reaction of the former officials of Qiao Xuanmen, the other scholars will also endanger themselves and resist desperately.
When the time comes, the consequences will not be borne by Zhang Yong, a small eunuch. Even if he is the son of Zhang Gong, he will become a substitute for the dead to appease the anger of the soldiers.
After all, the emperor favored the ten permanent servants, but he didn't care about the life or death of the other eunuchs.
Glancing at the county, Zhang Yong said softly: "Qiaodong County is a county guard, even if there is, it is not the turn of the miscellaneous family to punish it." If you dare to come nonsense, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless! ”
Feeling the murderous intent in Zhang Yong's words, everyone felt a pang in their hearts and didn't dare to say anything more.
At this moment, someone came to report the situation of the street parade, and Zhang Yong's face was ugly when he heard it. He was instructed by Zhang Gong not only to let Chen Xu die, but also to make him suffer humiliation. And the street parade is one of them.
Unexpectedly, this plan not only did not work, but made the people sympathize with Chen Xu.
Zhang Yong sneered a few times, and a cold glint shot out of his eyes.
He can't do anything with Qiao Mao, but he can fiddle with Chen Xu at will. This man is just a pariah, without any identity background, even if he has some military exploits, those scholars will not offend the ten permanent servants for him.
"Doesn't he cherish his soldiers and value affection?" Zhang Yong laughed proudly a few times and continued, "Then let him see with his own eyes that those prisoners fall to the ground one by one!" ”
The parade was canceled, and everyone was taken to a downtown area. After coming here, everyone's faces changed drastically. This downtown is exactly where Puyang kills criminals every time.
In the Han Dynasty, the killing of criminals was not at the entrance of the vegetable market. The so-called dragged to the mouth of the vegetable market to behead the public, the Qing Dynasty only had this practice.
The places where prisoners were killed were different in each dynasty, but there is no doubt that all of them were killed in the middle of the city, in order to deter other criminals.
Zhang Yong had already come here, looking at the prisoners in front of him, he didn't hide the smug look on his face at all.
"Chen Xu and this criminal colluded with the yellow scarf, and they should be beheaded according to the law!"
Zhang Yong didn't wait for three o'clock in the afternoon, he let the executioner capture a prisoner, and the escort was about to be beheaded.
Chen Xu was shocked when he saw this, and scolded angrily: "Eunuch, Han Law: The executions of criminals are all beheaded after the autumn, since you dare to flout the law!" ”
Zhang Yong saw Chen Xu's anxious appearance, and laughed: "The law stipulates that those who conspire against each other can be beheaded at any time." If you collude with the Yellow Turban, it is regarded as rebellion, so why kill them now? ”
After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Chen Xu, nor did he behead these people together, but asked the executioner to kill these people one by one in front of Chen Xu.
Those prisoners, seeing that they were about to be killed, showed a look of fear on their faces, and scolded Zhang Yong loudly, but this could not save their lives.
Chen Xu watched the corpses of these people separate one by one, watched their blood spray out, his eyes were split, and he struggled in the prisoner car and shouted: "Eunuch, swear to kill you!" Someone swears to kill you! ”
