Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 265 Are these still the fierce people of Peiping? (Please subscribe!!)

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, if something happens to Zhou Dexing, Song Lian, and Lu Chang, the court will definitely hold you accountable. I'm afraid there will be constant trouble!"

Xu Da reminded.

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun's expression changed, "Oh, uncle, you are right! These unscrupulous people are really causing trouble for me!"

"Master Zhou and the others are imperial officials, how can they be treated like this!"

"Why are you standing still! If Zhou Baoqian doesn't hurry up and lead the way, if we are late, we will have to collect the bodies of these three adults!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bao nodded repeatedly, "Sir, the two princes, please come with me!"

So, under the guidance of Zhou Bao, Ouyang Lun, Tang He, and Xu Da hurried towards the altar outside the city.

The sun shines through the clouds, casting golden light on the altar.

On the high platform of the altar, there are three wooden stakes standing at the moment, and there is a person tied to each wooden stake. They are Zhou Dexing, Song Lian, and Lu Chang.

People were standing around the altar, holding incense candles, bowing their heads and reciting silently, with pious expressions. The air was filled with the smoke of incense candles and the smell of morning dew, which looked solemn and mysterious. There were also people who were placing offerings, lighting incense candles, and welcoming the sacrifices. start.

"I am Zhou Dexing, the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty and the Marquis of Jiangxia. I am a bold and unruly man who dares to kidnap imperial officials. You are seeking death!" Zhou Dexing roared.

"Master Zhou, it's not like they just kidnapped us, it's more like they want to burn us to death!" Lu Chang said with a trembling voice.

"This is human sacrifice, they are going to burn us alive!" Song Lian glanced at the firewood piled at his feet and said quickly.

Hearing this, Zhou Dexing also panicked and shouted quickly: "Ouyang Lun, you bastard bastard! You must want to get rid of us. You encouraged the people to burn us to death. When His Majesty finds out, he will definitely be furious. When the time comes, They will definitely send troops to massacre the entire city of Beiping!"

"If you know what's going on, let us go quickly, tie yourself up, come back to the capital with me to plead guilty, and maybe you can still survive!"

Around the altar, people were already crowded with people coming to offer sacrifices. They placed the offerings on the altar, lit incense candles, knelt down and kowtowed, clasped their hands together, and prayed silently. Their faces showed expressions of awe, piety and hope. When their eyes fell on Zhou Dexing and the others, they turned into angry and resentful expressions!

"By the heavens and gods above, today we have captured three traitors who have brought harm to the country and the people. They want to take away our food seeds and cut off our way of survival, so we burn them and sacrifice them to the gods and gods!"

"Burn them!"

"Get rid of harm for the sake of reputation!"

"Burn the traitor to death!"

Listening to the people around them shouting that they would be burned to death, Zhou Dexing, Song Lian, and Lu Chang were completely panicked.

"Zhou Dexing! Look at the good thing you have done! Mr. Song and I both said that this matter cannot be rushed, but you have to be so reckless! Not only did you not take the sweet potatoes back, but you left the names of the three of us here in Beizhili , you really hurt Mr. Song and me!" Lu Chang complained loudly.

"My surname is Zhou, I know that your Huaixi Party wants to deal with Ouyang Lun, but your fight with Ouyang Lun has nothing to do with Master Lu and me! If you survive, I will definitely slander you and accuse you of using power for personal gain." , causing public resentment to boil!" Song Lian also scolded Zhou Dexing.

At this moment, Zhou Dexing no longer had the arrogance he had before. He just had his head drooped and his face was ashen.

The sacrificial ceremony was carried out in the early morning sunshine, and the people's prayers, roars and the smoke of incense candles intertwined to form a unique scene.

"The sacrifice begins!"

As the dressed priest performed a strange dance, he let out a loud roar.

Three men holding torches walked out of the crowd and walked towards Zhou Dexing, Song Lian and Lu Chang step by step. Next, they used torches to light the wood pile under the three people.

"I didn't expect that I pride myself on being a breeze, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this?" Song Lian closed his eyes in despair.

"It is not unjust to die in the hands of the people of Ming Dynasty!" Lu Chang also closed his eyes.

Zhou Dexing raised his head and shouted loudly, "Ouyang Lun, come out, I know you are nearby! I don't want these sweet potatoes anymore, please spare my life!"

"I have no choice but to do this! You have offended the entire Huaixi Party, and they want me to deal with you, but I have no choice!"

"As long as you spare my life, I promise I will never be your enemy again!"

"I don't want to die!"

As he spoke, Zhou Dexing choked up.

Song Lian and Lu Chang both looked at Zhou Dexing with disdain.

"Master Zhou, you are also a military general, but you are so greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"I'm really ashamed of you for going to hell together!"

Zhou Dexing cursed: "What do you two ignorant scholars know? I have fought with His Majesty for so many years and climbed out of the dead countless times. I used to be just a mud-legged person and I was not afraid of death, but now I am the Minister of the Ministry of War." , It’s Jiang Xiahou! I still have glory and wealth but I haven’t enjoyed enough, I don’t want to die!!”

"Ouyang Lun, come out!"

Soon the fire was lit, and oil was poured on the dry wood. As soon as it caught fire, the fire immediately burst into flames.

"stop!"

Ouyang Lun, Tang He, and Xu Da arrived.

"It's Mr. Ouyang!"

"Master Ouyang! You have to make the decision for us! The three of them are going to take away our sweet potato seeds!"

"These three people look like traitors at first glance, especially the burly man. He looks loyal on the outside, but he is actually a villain!"

Ouyang Lun scolded him with a straight face: "You unscrupulous people actually arrested the imperial officials and burned them. You are so audacious! Do you want to kill me?"

Forehead.
Seeing Ouyang Lun suddenly reprimanding so many people.

Xu Da and Tang He couldn't help but become nervous, thinking to themselves, Ouyang Lun, why are you so crazy?
The people in Peiping are so ferocious that even Song Lian, Lu Chang, and Zhou Dexing dare to capture and burn them. If they are angered, they must capture and burn us too. You must know that because we came in such a hurry, now except for the four of them, There are no guards at all to protect them. If these people go crazy, it will be completely ruined.

Just when Tang He and Xu Da were about to quietly persuade Ouyang Lun and use gentle methods to persuade the people, the next scene surprised Tang He, Xu Da and even the tied Song Lian.

Faced with Ouyang Lun's abuse, the people not only did not complain at all, but also admitted their mistakes one after another.

"By doing this, we actually harmed Mr. Ouyang?"

"Master Ouyang, we really don't know that this is hurting you!"

"Master Ouyang, we were wrong!"

"Although sweet potato seeds are precious, we need you more, Mr. Ouyang!"

"Master Ouyang, what should we do now?" Um.
Are these still the fierce people of Peiping?
They looked like a pack of wolves just now, but now they turned into obedient Mianyangs in front of Ouyang Lun.

The high priest in charge of the sacrifice quickly ran to Ouyang Lun and knelt down in front of Ouyang Lun, "Master Ouyang, I... I didn't know that doing this would be detrimental to you. It is the crime that deserves death!"

"But these three people are really hateful!"

Ouyang Lun continued to scold: "You bunch of unruly idiots, you know how to tie people up and burn them, but you don't know what to do now? Of course, put them down quickly!!"

"Yes! Let's release him now!" The high priest waved quickly, "Quick! Put him down!"

Soon, Song Lian, Lu Chang, and Zhou Dexing were rescued.

At this moment, the three of them were being supported by others and were in a miserable state, with their faces blackened by soot. The worst was Zhou Dexing, who had several holes burned into his clothes. If he hadn't been rescued in time, this guy would have been killed alive. Burned to death.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the three of them, Ouyang Lun suppressed his smile and showed concern, "My lords, my subordinates came too late!! I have made you three suffer!"

After all this torment, Song Lian and the other three still had no temper at all.

"No, no, we want to thank Prince Consort Ouyang. If you hadn't arrived in time, the three of us would have been burned alive!" Song Lian said quickly.

"Yes, yes, thanks to you, Prince Consort Ouyang! We just saved our lives!" Lu Chang said with lingering fear.

Zhou Dexing lowered his head and did not dare to look at Ouyang Lun.

Ouyang Lun pointed at the people around him and roared: "You bunch of unruly people have really been killed by you. The whole of Beizhili is under my control. If these three adults are burned alive in Peiping, and the court investigates the crime, The first one is to chop off my head, Ouyang Lun!"

"Although they did do something wrong, you can't treat them like this!"

The high priest reacted, "Master Ouyang is right, we didn't think carefully. As long as these three people are not in Beizhili, we can kill them to sacrifice to heaven?!"

Hear this.

The one who had the biggest reaction was not Ouyang Lun, but Song Lian, Lu Chang, and Zhou Dexing, who started to tremble all over.

Ouyang Lun said: "Three adults, this matter today is completely a misunderstanding! Please don't take it seriously."

"Don't worry, I will personally lead you to the cave to get the sweet potatoes later. No one dares to stop me!"

Hear this.

Zhou Dexing, Song Lian, and Lu Chang looked happy, but then they discovered that the people around them looked at them with something wrong.

"Ouyang Prince Consort, I wonder if you can send an army to escort us all the way back to the capital?" Song Lian asked tentatively.

Ouyang Lun shook his head, "Master Song, you are making things difficult for me. I, Ouyang Lun, am only in charge of Beizhili. Naturally, other provinces have envoys from other provinces in charge. If I send troops to escort you all the way, this is not the case. Is it overstepping my authority? If someone with ulterior motives tries to read my book after they return home, then I won’t be able to explain it."

"I can only guarantee that nothing will happen to you in Beizhili, but I can't guarantee whether anything will happen after you leave Beizhili."

As soon as these words came out, Song Lian, Lu Chang, and Zhou Dexing trembled all over. They felt like there were countless pairs of eyes waiting for them, giving them a feeling like a light on their backs.

"You three adults, it's getting late. I'll take you to get the sweet potatoes and send you on your way!"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

Why does this sound so awkward? !

Coupled with Ouyang Lun's smile, it's hard not to think of it!

Song Lian couldn't help but said: "Ouyang Prince Consort, if you want to kill us, just give us a pleasure here, don't torture us like this!"

Lu Chang said in a deep voice: "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

Ouyang Lun shook his head, "Master Song, Master Lu, you really misunderstood me. How could I, Ouyang Lun, do such villainous behavior? I said you can't die in Beizhili. Even if the King of Hell comes, I will definitely take it." I won’t take your lives!”

Song Lian:.
Lu Chang:.
"Prince-in-law, I know I was wrong! I don't want these sweet potatoes!" Zhou Dexing said with a flattering face: "I was obsessed with it before, but now I have suddenly realized it!"

"Didn't His Majesty ask you to bring the sweet potatoes back? If you don't bring the sweet potatoes back, how can you report to Your Majesty? What will you do if Your Majesty blames you?" Ouyang Lun asked with a half-smile.

"His Majesty didn't explicitly ask us to take the sweet potatoes back. It's just my own speculation. If Your Majesty really blames me, I, Zhou Dexing, will bear the responsibility! I will definitely not implicate the Prince Consort!! I just ask the Prince Consort to let me live!"

Zhou Dexing begged.

"What did Mr. Zhou say? I, Ouyang Lun, never threaten others, let alone the imperial officials. You are all imperial envoys sent by His Majesty, and I am even less likely to threaten you!"

After Ouyang Lun finished speaking, he looked at Song Lian and Lu Chang, "Two adults, what do you think?"

"Ahem, we didn't plan to take the sweet potatoes away in the first place!"

"Yes, this sweet potato should be promoted in Beizhili. After it develops, it will be most suitable to promote it nationwide!"

"I am really happy that the two adults have such awareness, and I would like to thank you for the entire people of Beizhili!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Now that the matter is clear and the sweet potatoes are no longer available, let's return to the capital as soon as possible!" Song Lian said quickly, "Won't Prince Consort Ouyang object?"

"Of course I won't object. I just feel that the adults are rushing to come and go in a hurry. There are many places where the reception is not good enough. Please take care of it!" Ouyang Lun nodded.

"Then take your leave!"

Song Lian and the others hurriedly prepared to leave.

"Wait." Ouyang Lun called again.

Song and Lian were so frightened that they stopped quickly and did not dare to take another step.

"Ouyang Prince Consort, is there anything else?" Song Lian asked nervously.

"You three adults, don't worry. There is nothing else to do. Mr. Guo is here with you, so you should wait for him. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of several adults, I, Ouyang Lun, will take some risks this time and send a team to escort him. The four adults return to the capital!"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Thank you Ouyang Prince Consort!"

Soon, under the escort of an army of a hundred people, Song Lian, Lu Chang, Zhou Dexing, and Guo Zi stayed in Beizhili for less than half a day before leaving in a hurry.

Heaven on earth.

Inside the VIP massage room.

Ouyang Lun, Tang He, and Xu Da were each lying on a single bed. Behind each of them was a beautiful technician who was massaging them. All three had expressions of relaxation and enjoyment on their faces.
