Liu Dongyang, who was strangled by the rope around his neck, struggled a few times, although he was also a military general, but he was so controlled by others, and he was restrained by the two Wang Tong's personal guards, and there was no room for resistance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, Liu Dongyang's body softened, a foul smell permeated the city, the strangled person was incontinent, and the body was quickly dragged down the city.

The father and son of the Bi family glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes, this Dingbei Marquis didn't do it, and if he did it, he would kill someone, and what would be the fate of his own family next, there was really no way to think about the benefits.

"Bi Chengen, your private soldiers have been tossing in Ningxia Town for so long, and they haven't come out with a single life, what do you think?"

Bi Chengen didn't know the meaning of Wang Tong's question, and wanted to see his father's opinion, but how could Bi Bai open his mouth at this time, hesitated, and said:

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, the lower officials think that the local people in the hometown are not good to harm too deeply, and they will have to deal with people from all walks of life here in the future."

Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, but asked again:

"Your ambition is to be a general soldier?"

Bi Bai was stunned, but now, he can't care so much, sighs and looks up and says:

"Master Hou, he has been in Ningxia Town for 30 years, and he has made countless military achievements, and he was not replaced by the deputy general until he was old, and the son of the humble post also has meritorious deeds, but this life is stopped at this deputy general, those cowardly and incompetent people can be the commander-in-chief, and the lowly position is indeed unwilling!"

"Do you still want to be this general soldier?"

"Hou Ye don't want to make fun of it, in the past, he relied on his own bravery, and some useful sons, he always felt that his own family was the first in the world, and he also felt that Hou Ye's exploits were empty talk, and when I saw it these days, I realized that it was originally sitting in a well and watching the sky, and the so-called Tao strategic courage in the past seemed to be child's play."

Bibai seemed to be an old man who was old and could see everything, but when he said this, he sighed again, kowtowed a few times on the ground and said:

"Despicable and reckless, I know the sins, these things are done by myself, Liu Dongyang fanned the flames, Bi Chengen and Bi Yun didn't know about it, and I hope that Hou Ye will let the villain go in terms of the villain's exploits over the years, and the villain is willing to be punished!"

"Daddy"

Bi Chengen on the side was in a hurry, just said a word, he was glared back by Bi Bai, Wang Tong waved his hand, a guard moved a chair, Wang Tong sat in front of them, and there was a sense of condescension, the matter is like this, it has been solved for the most part, Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:

"What are you doing? Since Bi Chengen is the deputy general of the imperial court, why do you also follow the nonsense, and you will take responsibility for the crime, so that they can be okay and continue to be officials? ”

Bi Bai knocked his head there a few times, and when he looked up, he could see that his forehead was already bruised, and Bi Chengen was just about to speak, but he was scolded angrily by Bi Bai:

"Evil animal, if you don't beg for mercy, will the whole family be affected by you and me?"

"Master Hou, the villain doesn't ask for anything to continue to be an official, he just asks the adult to leave the life of the little old man's family."

Bi Bai began to think about taking responsibility for himself, and after hearing Wang Tong's rhetorical question, he thought about adding Bi Chengen's life in exchange for the safety of the whole family, Wang Tong showed a clear smile on his face, but this kind of flat smile made Bi's father have no confidence, the city was windy, and the bad smell of Liu Dongyang's death had dissipated, but the despair and resentment when he was dying seemed to be still in front of the father and son, which made them even more frightened.

After being silent for a while, it seemed like a long time for the father and son of the Bi family, the weather was cold, but their bodies were already covered with cold sweat, Wang Tong said slowly:

"I don't care if you have any plans in your heart, you have been tossing in the city for so long, but you have not made any big things that hurt the heavens and reason, this is your creation! Now people inside and outside say that you just want to be a general soldier, which is an extravagant hope, not a sin. “

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Bi Bai's eyes widened, if he said this, his family's sins have been reduced a lot, doesn't Lord Wang want to investigate exhaustively, but at this moment, he was really surprised, and just about to speak, he heard Wang Tong ask:

"Bi Chengen, do you speak Mongolian?"

This question is not in tune with the trial at this time, but now in this situation, the father and son of the Bi family can only put the wonder in their stomachs, and Bi Chengen said:

"The villain knows a few words, and he doesn't know anything else."

There was nothing unnatural on Bi Chengen's face when he said these words, and Wang Tong looked at Bi Bai again and asked:

"Why, you were born on the grassland, but you don't teach the language of your hometown to your descendants?"

A very casual inquiry, but Bibai, who had always been respectful, blushed, and said in a loud voice:

"Master Hou, the villain is a Han man, but he was taken captive to the grassland when he was a child, how could he teach his children and grandchildren such barbarian words, even a few words learned by this evil animal are also what he didn't know how to learn from his subordinates, and he was whipped by the villain."

In this era, the appearance of the Han people and the various ethnic groups on the grassland is still very different, even if Wang Tong has such knowledge, he can also see that Bibai and Bi Chengen are standard Mongolian people, but Bibai Fangcai's statement is very interesting, and it is very consistent with the news that Wang Tong heard.

Wang Tong nodded, and said again:

"Is it good to be a Han Chinese? Or is it better to be a Mongolian person? ”

These questions have nothing to do with the current trial and the chaos in Ningxia City for more than half a year, but the father and son of the Bi family were stunned and still had to answer, and Bi Chengen said in a sullen voice:

"What's the good of those tartars, even if they are nobles in the tribe, they can't even afford to drink a burning knife, and the women are full of fishy smells, walking around in summer and nesting in tents in winter, such days are not to mention the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi, even the forts in Ningxia are stronger than them."

Bi Bai sighed again, but Wang Tong's question reminded him of the past, his voice became low, and he forgot what the scene was for a while.

"Hou Ye doesn't know, the days on the grassland are too bitter, even cow and horse dung can not be lost, but also used to burn the fire, the nobles eat meat, the people below can only eat wild vegetables and those things made of milk, even this may not be full, when the villain is still on the grassland, to those chiefs to raise horses and cattle, that is bitter, sometimes the weather is colder, a heavy wind and snow passes, the next day the tent can freeze to death, people die and are used to feed the nobleman's dog, the skull should be inlaid with silver to make wine bowls, this is still a big tribe, those small, It's often a blizzard, or even some kind of epidemic, and the whole tribe says it's gone."

Wang Tong waved his hand, and he stopped talking with interest, Bibai is a Mongolian person, but Bi Chengen is probably a lot of Sinicization, and they obviously regard the identity of the Mongolian people as a stain, such a person, he is quite measured, and he also has military merits and hard work, Wang Tong groaned for a while, and said:

"Bi Bai, Bi Cheng'en, Bi Yun and the two generations of your Bi family who are in charge of the army and are officials, don't be officials!"

Bibai father and son plus Bibai's righteous son Biyun, as well as several sons and nephews of the Bi family are all serving as military generals, after Wang Tong's words, they have no official body, and the father and son of the Bi family have also been tempered in the Ming officialdom for so many years, so they naturally understand that after Wang Tong's sentence, the Bi family is an ordinary person.

How big the gap is between the officials and the people, Bibai, who was born as a herdsman and is a deputy chief soldier, naturally understands, but Wang Tong's disposition and his previous words let Bibai know that this is a rare grace.

Although the father and son of the Bi family had a sad look on their faces, they still kowtowed at the same time and thanked:

"Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, the villain is here to thank you!!"

His head was pounding, but Wang Tong groaned there, and after a pause, he said:

"The Bi family can't stay in Ningxia in the future, the nephews and grandchildren of the Bi family, including the married families, will move away, you have to avoid suspicion!"

"Yes!"

The following is kowtow again, but the look is even more ugly, the local tyrant of the Bi family, any nephew of the Bi family here, has great appeal, and it is also a big trouble for the government, since Wang Tong decided to be magnanimous, naturally there will be no future troubles, although Wang Tong did not say a word of magnanimity.

"Bibby, how many men are there in your grandchildren?"

When this sentence came out, the father and son of the Bi family were stunned there, and Bi Bai wanted to hide it, but after thinking about it, he still said:

"If the villain remembers correctly, there are sixteen grandchildren, six women and ten men."

Wang Tong began to feel that this number was too much, and immediately reacted, this is actually less in a family of people of Daming's status.

"Except for those who can't live without their parents, let's send them to Tianjin Wei to join the army!"

Wang Tong's words made the father and son of the Bi family who were waiting for disposal stunned, and Bi Chengen immediately took a step on his knees, but heard the sound of drawing a knife behind him, and hurriedly knelt there and cried and said:

"Master Hou, the villain's children and nephews are still young, please Master Hou"

"If you don't become an official, you don't want your children to be officials?"

Wang Tong asked with a smile, the father and son of the Bi family were stunned again, and they were stunned too many times in this conversation, Wang Tong opened his mouth again:

"Your whole family will move to naturalization, your family will allow you to keep a thousand, your assets in Ningxia will be sold, money, livestock or something, you will use it to naturalize the city, the Bi family will open a commercial house, you must have a semicolon in Tianjin, Bi Chengen or Biyun will go to the semicolon to do things!"

Although the Naturalization City is in the northeast of Ningxia, it is the richest place in the Hetao, and it is a big city on the grassland, which is much better than Ningxia, and let the Bi family go to the Guihua City to do business, without an official body, but the wealth will not decrease, but it will be stronger, as for the grandchildren of the Bi family in Tianjin Wei in the army, the Bi family opened a branch in Tianjin Wei or something, this is actually a great grace, I originally thought it was a crime of killing the head and exterminating the clan, but I didn't expect it to be such a disposal.

Bi Bai and Bi Chengen were stunned for a while, they both kowtowed with tears streaming down their faces, and said silently:

"Grace of Lord Xie"
