Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 576 Iron Qiang Order

"You can't leave!" Zhang Xiu waved the steel gun in his hand, blocking the way of the father and son.

The thick blood was still steaming in the cold winter, and the strong smell of blood had already made the people under Xiaoguan frown.At this time, seeing Zhang Xiu being so arrogant again, the anger accumulated in their chests finally began to explode.

"What the hell are you doing?! It's almost noon, and you haven't let them go, and now you are massacring people for no reason. Could it be that the emperor asked you to protect us like this?!"

The people in Guanzhong are warlike, which has a tradition. This area has always been a battleground for military strategists. Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin soldiers have been more resistant to fighting.Over time, the people in this area have developed a bold and straightforward temperament, valuing ambition and neglecting life.At this time, seeing such injustice before them, they couldn't stand it anymore, and they all shouted and criticized.

"That is, when Xiao Guan didn't have you, we had nothing to do. Now that the battle has been won, you came here to harm us instead!"

"The Son of Heaven is benevolent and loves the people, but you treat us like this. Killing people is like slaughtering dogs. If you don't come up with an explanation today, don't blame us for turning against you first, and then go to Chang'an to sue the imperial court. If you don't believe it, no one in the world can control it." You guys!"

"Zhang Xiu, you are also a member of our West Frontier, don't you miss a little nostalgia? Do you still have people's hearts?!"

"How did the father and son offend you? In order not to cause the whole Guanzhong to suffer, they just want to ask for a fallen leaf to return to their roots?!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was raging, and the rough Guanzhong men had already started to attack those deer villages, and the Xiliang cavalry didn't dare to drive them away forcefully with their spears, for fear of really hurting innocent people.But when Zhang Xiu heard these people's accusations, his stern and young face suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Don't you want to rebel?! Soldiers, get rid of these people for me!"

"It's the other way around, you bastard, you dare to show your prestige in front of us when you do something wrong!"

People in Guanzhong can't stand being provoked the most, but Zhang Xiu in Liangzhou can't stand such provocation either.For a while, no one gave in, and the situation in front of Xiaoguan became somewhat chaotic.Hearing Zhang Xiu's order, all Xiliang iron cavalry got on their horses and picked up their spears, and quickly formed a charging camp and shouted: "Quickly retreat, or the military law will be ruthless!"

But such a deterrent has little effect on these people in Guanzhong.Instead, it made them even more violent, and shouted: "I'm not a soldier, I'm afraid of a bird's military law! You bully people like this, I just can't stand it!"

Zhang Xiu also felt that something was wrong at this time, but how could he, who had never suffered any setbacks, lose face in front of these people?But the emperor strictly forbids disturbing the people. Once he does something, it will be more than just disturbing the people.In an instant, Zhang Xiu's face turned from white to red, and then from red to purple, so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"Everyone calm down, calm down!..." At this moment, a young man dressed as a scribe in Xiao Guannei rushed over on horseback, stopped the common people and the Xiliang iron cavalry, and shouted to the Xiliang iron cavalry first: "If you want to attack the common people, step on my corpse first!"

After saying this, the young man turned his head to comfort the people and said, "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. I am Zhang Ji and Zhang Derong. Has any of you heard my name?"

"I don't care if you Zhang Ji is still a male prostitute, let's not talk about today's matter..." Before the words fell, the woman behind the big man became anxious, slapped her man's face, and shouted fiercely: "Get out of here !You don’t have eyes, you are a thousand knives, Mr. Zhang Ji, you don’t even remember, you forgot how our tiger cub survived?!”

The big man was slapped by the mother-in-law, and he was about to get angry, but when he heard what the mother-in-law said behind him, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Ji.Then he slapped himself twice again, pulled his mother-in-law to kneel on the ground and said, "It's Mr. Zhang, the villain blinded these dog eyes, and I will apologize to you here!"

After all, the man wanted to whip himself again, but Zhang Ji jumped off the horse and stopped him: "It's okay, it's okay, you just need to let the people let me say a few words."

Zhang Ji's eyes were venomous, and he could tell at a glance that the man in front of him was a leader. As long as this kind of trouble was settled, half of the solution was usually solved.This man was really that kind of guy, he stood up immediately and shouted to the people behind him: "Hey, everyone, don't do anything, this is Master Zhang Ji Zhang, a rare good official in Guanzhong, if you can trust me , just listen to Mr. Zhang to judge us."

Zhang Ji is Feng Yi from Gaoling, he was born in a humble family, but his family is rich and handsome. At the age of 16, he served as a small official in Fengyi County. Later, he was promoted many times and was promoted by the county as Xiaolian, but he did not go to the capital to become an official in the Lang Office.Later, when the Son of Heaven was in charge, instead of blaming Zhang for not obeying the imperial edict, he was reappointed as the magistrate of Jieting County. Within a year, he became the number one in Kansai, and he was very popular in Kansai.

After this man called out Zhang Ji's name, many people had really heard of Zhang Ji's name.For a while, everyone gradually quieted down, but for the sake of face, they all muttered: "For the sake of County Magistrate Zhang, I will let you go first, but this matter must not just be so unclear. Already!"

Hearing the people's words, Zhang couldn't help smiling, and then he said: "Everyone, you all wrongly blamed General Zhang. The man who was killed just now was not a commoner, but a leader of the Iron Qiang League. .”

"You say yes, he is obviously wearing coarse linen clothes, digging food like us, how can he become a rebel?" As soon as Zhang came up and spoke for Zhang Xiu, the people began to dissatisfy again.

"My Zhang is also from a poor family, um, I also want to farm. But whether this person farms or not, you can't just look at what he wears." After Zhang finished speaking, he bowed to Zhang Xiu and said: "General, can you have someone carry that man before the people?"

Zhang Xiu was so polite and tactful, Zhang Xiu also liked him, and knew that this person was specially sent by the emperor to him, so he replied with the same courtesy: "Just as Mr. Zhang said."

When the corpse was brought to the front by Xiliang soldiers, Zhang Ji leaned over and raised the man's palm, and said to the people: "Look carefully, this man's palm is calloused, not at the root of the finger, but in the middle of the finger, what does this mean? "

"What does this mean?" The Kanxi man was at a loss, how could he know what this meant.

Zhang didn't answer, but called the man pushing the wheelbarrow and asked, "You are a hunter in the mountains, right?"

The man nodded.

Then Zhang Ji raised the man's hand, so that everyone could see that the calluses on the palm of the man were also in the fingers, and then stretched out his hand to explain the calluses on the base of the fingers: "Everyone can see clearly, we planted On the ground, the calluses are all on the root of the finger, which is ground with a hoe. But this hunter, he often shoots arrows in the mountains and catches prey with a knife, so the callus is left on his finger. This man is obviously dressed as a farmer, but he has Don’t you all find it suspicious of the calluses of killing people and shooting arrows?”

This explanation caught everyone off guard for a moment, and they all praised Zhang Jihui's eyes.But not all the people are so blindly obedient, and some people couldn't help asking: "Master Zhang, can't this person be an Orion, and he has to wear animal skins like that man to be an Orion?"

"It's also possible." Zhang didn't refute the man, but when everyone was discussing, he suddenly said: "However, no matter whether he is a hunter or not, no matter how many beasts he has killed, it is impossible for him not to think about his own life." Yes. Just now, the father of this strong man got bruises, and you all avoided it. But he was the only one who eagerly followed the father and son out of the city after being let go by luck. There were other people who were let go just now, why did everyone wait? Just a while ago, he was so impatient that he even risked being infected and wanted to get out of the customs as soon as possible?"

"Oh... Mr. Zhang is really powerful. After saying that, he just wants to escape from Xiaoguan and return to his hometown in Xiliang?" Give Zhang Ji a hug.

"But, but..." The people are not easy to be fooled, and some people still question Zhang Ji: "Master Zhang, this is all your speculation, and it is groundless. If you kill the wrong one, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" human life?"

"How could it be a manslaughter? When I galloped away, I just wanted to see the reaction of this man. The Orion's behavior was normal, but he immediately touched his arms. If I didn't guess wrong, there must be something hidden in his arms." Hold the sharp blade!" Zhang Xiu couldn't help it now, he was a bit cold by nature, but he couldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"Not only is there a sharp blade, but if I guess correctly, this person must have an Iron Qiang Token on him!" Zhang Ji opened his mouth at the right time and explained to everyone: "The Iron Qiang Token is an iron plate, but everyone should not underestimate it." That iron plate. Han Sui’s traitor is very famous in the Western Regions. A single Iron Qiang Order can sometimes scare the ruler of a small state with ten thousand people to commit suicide. If this person is the leader of the Iron Qiang League, he must have that iron plate on his body."

"Even if there is no such iron...token, if this person wants to assassinate the general of the Han Dynasty, it will be a capital offense. Everyone can see clearly, this person has seen it, this person has not been tampered with by any means, so I will be the one." A witness." The speaker was naturally Zhang Ji's new fan, Guanxi Dahan, and at this time, he had completely sided with the Han family.

When he reached out to touch the man's arms, his face suddenly changed. Immediately afterwards, he raised the things in his hands: it was a sharp dagger and a black iron plate.On the iron plate, there are two staggered long spears, and a big "Qiang" character is written in the center of the gun in seal script!
