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

Chapter 281 Sir, you are not dead! (Please subscribe!!)
  "Is this how you shut up?"

Ouyang Lun asked coldly.

Tabin Timur immediately shut up obediently.

"That's pretty much it. They're all prisoners, and they're still making noise. They don't understand their status at all!"

"Take this Tamerlane down and keep him under surveillance. Don't let him die!"

After Ouyang Lun gave the order, he looked up and saw that everyone was staring at him with a hint of fear in their eyes.

"Ahem, why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that there are words carved on my face?"

Ouyang Lun asked doubtfully.

For a moment, no one dared to answer, no one even dared to look at Ouyang Lun.

"Well, dear son-in-law, are those things you just said true?" Shiha asked boldly.

"What are you talking about?" Ouyang Lun asked confused.

"Husband, that's the human stick you just mentioned. Did you really use the human stick on so many people?!" Azuna asked quickly.

After hearing this question and looking at the scared looks of the people around him, Ouyang Lun suddenly understood.

"I understand, you are just as frightened by me as that Timur!"

"Haha, it seems that my punishment with a stick is very effective!"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "Yes, the human stick punishment is one of the unique punishments of the Wolf Guard. This punishment has been used on many people."

As soon as this word comes out.

Shiha and the Chita tribe generals looked at Ouyang Lun with deep fear in addition to their previous admiration. They even subconsciously took a step back to keep their distance from Ouyang Lun.

Even Azuna stared blankly at Ouyang Lun with a complicated expression.

"Look how scared you are."

Ouyang Lun glanced at everyone, turned to Hei Lang and said, "Hei Lang, come and tell everyone how this man's punishment with the stick was carried out."

"Yes, Master." Black Wolf immediately said: "Currently, the Wolf Guard has executed a total of thirty-sixth times of human stick punishment. Including today's time, the total is thirty-seven times. No one has been able to survive the human stick punishment. Formal execution, that is to say, after hearing the description of the punishment with human sticks, the prisoners basically choose to confess and be obedient."

"So the reality is that no one can be made into a human being."

After hearing Hei Lang's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

Ouyang Lun spread his hands, "Actually, that Timur is already very strong, but it's a pity that he can't withstand the punishment of human sticks."

"As a result, I have to maintain professionals who perform human punishment, and I have to pay a lot of wages a year."

Forehead.
  Well, this explanation is very reasonable. After all, just listening to the man's punishment with a stick made his skin crawl all over and he was so scared.

"Okay, now that my betrothal gift has been delivered and the coalition forces of the three major tribes have been repelled, it's time for me to go back."

Ouyang Lun said.

"Xian son-in-law, there are enemies everywhere on the grassland now. I think it's better for you to stay in the trading city." Shiha said quickly.

"Husband, according to what Tabin Timur just said, in addition to the coalition forces of the three major tribes, there is also an army of [-] from the King of Qi in the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside the Great Wall. If you rush back to the Great Wall like this, you will easily run into them halfway. Danger! I think you should listen to your father and stay!" Azuna also said quickly.

Ouyang Lun shook his head and said righteously: "Asuna, father-in-law, as the chief envoy of Beizhili and the commander of the capital, I combine military and political power. I have great power and great responsibility. Now, Wang Baobao's troops are approaching the city and intending to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so I will naturally go back and take command."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was impressed by Ouyang Lun's words.

At this time, Hei Lang muttered: "Master, you are afraid that Wang Baobao will capture Peiping and loot all the money and treasures you have hidden in your house!"

Forehead.
  The scene suddenly quieted down.

Ouyang Lun also looked quite embarrassed, "Hei Lang, shut up. If you don't speak, no one will think you are a fool!"

"Oh, yes."

Black Wolf quickly shut up.

"Ahem, father-in-law, Azuna, it is true that there are some reasons that Hei Lang just mentioned, but it is definitely not the main reason. At most, it accounts for [-]%!" Ouyang Lun quickly explained.

"Well, the master should still be concerned about the safety of Mrs. Anqing, Mrs. Xu Er and Mrs. Tang San. This definitely accounts for [-]%. Counting [-]% of the money and treasures, the remaining [-]% is due to official positions!"

Zhou Bao nodded and muttered.

Forehead.
  The scene fell silent again.

Ouyang Lun kicked Zhou Bao hard, "Why do I suspect that you talked a lot of nonsense today!"

"Father-in-law, Azuna, please listen to my explanation."

"Husband, you don't need to explain." Azuna said extremely seriously: "Now that Wang Baobao's thirty troops are approaching the city, Northern Zhili is in danger. On the other hand, our Chita tribe has successfully repelled the coalition forces of the three major tribes and is temporarily safe. Husband, You should protect your three sisters!"

"Husband, go ahead! I will wait for your return in this trading city!"

"Asuna, I love you so much!" Ouyang Lun hugged Asuna directly and kissed her fiercely.

Then he left with Zhou Bao and the accompanying wolf guards.
  After coming out of the Trade City, Ouyang Lun and his group of more than ten people marched carefully. They encountered several waves of Yuan Army ranger scouts, and even ran into a Yuan Army ranger head-on. Fortunately, there were only ten people on the other side. Ouyang Lun and his group were outnumbered, and Hei Lang led a few wolf guards to easily deal with them.

After that, I became more cautious and finally rushed back to the Great Wall.

Return to Beiping City.

As soon as he entered the city, Ouyang Lun noticed something was wrong, because the atmosphere in the city was extremely deserted, and every house was decorated in vain. The occasional common people who appeared were also wearing sackcloth and mourning, with sad faces.

Could it be that Wang Baobao launched an attack on the Great Wall last night, and the battle was extremely fierce! ?

Or is it that our army was defeated and many people died?
  After all, only in this way will every household in the entire Beiping city hold funerals.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Lun became more and more anxious to rush back to the Chief Secretary's Yamen.

As soon as they entered the gate, they heard a quarrel coming from the meeting hall.

"The chief envoy went to the Trade City yesterday and has not returned yet. He must have been poisoned by the Yuan people!"

"The possibility is very high. There is intelligence that Beiyuan has mobilized a large number of troops this time. Among them, the three major tribes Duoyan, Fuyu, and Taining formed a coalition and the direction of march is Chita Tribe Trading City. Counting the time, at this time yesterday The Trade City has been surrounded at night!"

"The Chief Envoy is trapped in the Trade City, we must rescue him!"

"How to save? Didn't you hear the people sent by Wei Guogong just now? Wang Baobao, the king of Qi in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, has come towards the Great Wall with an army of [-]. Once the army goes out, it will face a double-sided attack. Don't say anything about the plan. If the political envoy cannot be saved, even the Great Wall will have to be breached. Once the Great Wall is forced, Beiping City will be in danger, and the entire Beizhili will fall!"

"I heard news that the three major tribes' coalition forces numbered [-] people, while the Chita tribe only had [-] people. It's been one night. Most of the trading city was destroyed and people were killed. I'm afraid the chief envoy has died heroically for his country. !”

"Woohoo! The untimely death of the Chief Envoy is simply the biggest loss for our Ming Dynasty! So what should we do now? We are all civil servants."    "It would be great if the Chief Envoy is still alive, woo hoo—— "

"Let's go to the Northern Expeditionary Army camp to ask Duke Wei later. Now that King Yan is marching south to Yunnan, the chief envoy is trapped in the grassland. Now we can only count on Duke Wei."

"Let's go! Let's go now. Maybe the Chief Envoy can be saved!"

"There is no hope of saving Ken, but if Wei Guogong defeats Wang Baobao, we might be able to recover the body of the Chief Envoy. Then we must hold a grand funeral for him!!"

"That's right!"

Li Fuyuan, Zhao Tianming, Xu Liang, Jiao Ren and other Beizhili officials walked out of the meeting hall and happened to see Ouyang Lun standing outside the door.

This shocked the officials.

"Ghost!"

"Master Ouyang's soul must be back!"

After speaking, all the officials knelt down one after another.

"Sir, it's not that my subordinates won't come to save you! It's really that Wang Baobao's [-]-strong army is watching with eager eyes, and there's no way we can save you!"

"Sir, you must have died miserably!"

"Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely find a way to avenge you!"

Looking at the group of two contestants in front of him, Ouyang Lun was so angry that he twisted his mouth and said angrily: "Why do you think I am a ghost?"

Um! ?

After hearing this, the officials stopped crying, raised their heads one after another, and looked at Ouyang Lun carefully.

He immediately stood up excitedly and started groping around Ouyang Lun.

"Holy crap! Are you perverts? Get away from me!"

Ouyang Lun kicked the person away and kept a safe distance.

The kicked official showed no resentment at all, ignored the pain, and shouted excitedly.

"My lord, you are not dead!"

"Haha, my lord is not dead!"

Ouyang Lun became more and more speechless, "I'm not dead now, I will be pissed to death by you soon!"

"Look at how helpless you are. If the people of Beizhili see you like this, they will probably be even more panicked!"

"You have completely forgotten everything I teach you on weekdays! It really brings shame on me. Don't tell me that you belong to me, Ouyang Lun, when you go out."

"Even if I die outside, I will be angry to see you like this."

"How could a mere Wang Baobao scare you like this?"

Ouyang Lun was quite disappointed with this group of officials. During peacetime, their ability to govern the people was okay, but when the war broke out, their flaws were suddenly exposed.

The officials were so scolded by Ouyang Lun that they lowered their heads and did not dare to contradict him in the slightest.

After a while, seeing that Ouyang Lun didn't scold him anymore, Li Fuyuan stood up and said, "Sir, I'm used to your leadership. The hundreds of thousands of troops from Beiyuan are approaching fiercely, and you don't know whether you are alive or dead. , the subordinate officials suddenly lost their backbone and were leaderless. This panic is normal."

"A group of dragons without a leader? I think a group of snakes without a leader! You still have the nerve to tell me it's normal." Ouyang Lun said angrily.

Zhao Tianming also stood up and said: "Sir, this incident did happen suddenly, and it is not easy for Beizhili to develop to this day. The officials and others are also worried that the war will destroy everything, and you are not here."

Xu Liang also quickly stood up and said: "Sir, if the whole of Beizhili was in tatters before, even if Beiyuan attacked the city of Beiping, we would still be in panic. Anyway, they were all in that state, and no matter how bad they were, they wouldn't be able to get there. Go, but it’s different now. Concrete roads and highways have been built one after another. Both sides of the road are newly cultivated farms. The people have more than enough food. If the Beiyuan army breaks in, we have worked hard over the past few years. The business was wiped out in an instant, and Xiaguan and others really cannot afford such a responsibility!"

"Yes! I think it was because of the war that my Xuanfu could not develop for decades. Now, with great difficulty, trade with the prairie people and sweet potato cultivation have improved a little, but...the thousand-killing Beiyuan army is here again! If Xuanfu is devastated by war again this time, I, Jiao Ren, will have no choice but to die to apologize!" Jiao Ren, the magistrate of Xuanfu, said immediately.

Other prefects and prefects also spoke one after another.

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun's expression softened slightly, "Humph, what you said is still a few human words! If you just blindly shirk the blame, I will definitely use you to establish your authority before the war today!"

"But after all that, you are still a bunch of trash! Your incompetence is becoming more and more evident!"

Li Fuyuan, Zhao Tianming and other officials lowered their heads in shame.

"The officials and others are guilty and deserve to be punished, but now is an extraordinary time. Please allow us to make meritorious deeds and wait until this battle is over before we are punished!"

Zhao Tianming said loudly.

Ouyang Lun glanced at Zhao Tianming, paused for a while, and then nodded, "It's still a little bloody, but it's not hopeless!"

"Xu Liang."

"The subordinate is here."

"When I came back, I found that every household in Beiping City was hung with white flags and the people were all wearing sackcloth and mourning. Could it be that our Ming army has already fought against the Beiyuan army?" Ouyang Lun expressed his doubts.

Hearing this, Xu Liang and others looked embarrassed.

"What's going on? Talk!"

"Sir, I don't know who heard last night that you had died on the grassland. The people respect you very much. After hearing such sad news, they spontaneously paid homage to you, so the scene is like this."

Xu Liang explained quickly.

Ouyang Lun: "."

Li Fuyuan added: "Your Excellency, you must want to ask why we didn't stop it. The news was so sudden and it was night. We didn't have time to discuss it all night, let alone stop the people from paying homage to you!"

"Secondly, we cannot judge whether these news are true or false, and it is difficult to stop them. If this matter is true, it will arouse public outrage."

Ouyang Lun: "."

Thank you so much!

"grown ups."

"Okay, stop talking and listen to me next!" Ouyang Lun lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "When the meeting is over, the prefects and prefectures will immediately return to their respective state capitals. The first thing is to appease the people. , tell them not to panic, Beizhili is no longer the Beizhili it used to be, and people from Beiyuan can come and leave as they please, which will never happen again!"

"Second, tell the people the whole thing, don't hide anything, and tell them that once Beiyuan comes in, everything we have now will be in vain!"

"Third, let those who have money contribute money and those who have strength contribute."
