"I won't let you die so easily. I will deal with you when you return to Shanhaiguan! You know the fate of traitors!"
Hu Yunqing looked at Li Su, as if he would die because of his generosity. Hu Yunqing would not let him die so easily.
His death must be made worthwhile, so that all Ming people can see the fate of traitors.
"Let me go! You say I'm a traitor? I, Li Su, have decided that you, Hu Yunqing, are the biggest traitor!"
Li Su knew very well the Ming Dynasty's criminal laws for traitors, so he might as well commit suicide.
"Bold, even the prince dares to slander!"
Hearing how bold Li Su was, others stepped forward and started punching and kicking him.
"Take it down."
Hu Yunqing didn't want to see Li Su either, so he waved his hand to signal Huan to take him down.
"Go and see Ma Shang and the others. Have they bought all the goods?"
Hu Yunqing felt somewhat uncomfortable staying in Jinzhou City. The climate here was also cold. Hu Yunqing couldn't stay any longer and asked the guard beside him.
"It should still be unavailable. There are a lot of goods that are not available yet and are being transported to Jinzhou City."
"Let Ma Shang speed up."
At this time, Ma Shang was in a shop in Jinzhou, looking at Jiannu's specialties, and selected some to buy in large quantities to take back to the pass.
"Get out of the way! Are you from Ming Dynasty?"
While Ma Shang was selecting goods, a group of strong men squeezed out from the crowd. They saw that the clothes of Ma Shang and others were not those of slave builders, and asked them.
"Yes, we are from Ming Dynasty."
Ma Shang knew that the Jiannu people were trying to cause trouble, but he was not afraid at all, and he would not lie and tell people from other places that they were proud of being from the Ming Dynasty.
"You have killed so many of our clansmen, and now you still have the nerve to show up in Jinzhou City! Fight me, everyone!"
After the strong man finished listening, he pointed at Ma Shang and others and shouted to the people behind him.
These common people knew what Ma Shang and the others were here for, and they were very polite at first. However, after being provoked by the strong man, everyone instantly recalled that their family and friends had died at the hands of the Ming people.
One after another, they took their objects and started to hit Ma Shang and others.
"Don't fight back!"
Ma Shang remembered the prince's instructions not to conflict with the opponent at any time, otherwise they would still suffer the loss.
Fortunately, what the opponent threw was rotten vegetable leaves, so it did no harm to them.
Just when Ma Shang wanted to leave, all the Jiannu people surrounded him, and Ma Shang and others were rushed away. A man bumped into Ma Shang. Ma Shang, who was squeezed into the crowd, did not feel any discomfort, but felt that he was getting colder and colder.
He touched his stomach with his hand and found that blood kept flowing out, and finally he fell in the middle of the crowd.
"grown ups!"
Several other guards saw Ma Shang falling and shouted to come over here.
ah!
A series of screams rippled through the crowd. Ma Shang and several other guards were stabbed to death by someone in the crowd who had secretly stabbed them with knives.
They all fell into a pool of blood. After Ma Shang and others died, these slave builders stepped on them with their feet.
After evening, Hu Yunqing was ready to go to sleep. Juan barged in.
"My lord, it's bad, something happened over there with Ma Shang!"
"What?"
Hearing that something happened to Ma Shang, Hu Yunqing sat up immediately, quickly put on his clothes, and anxiously followed Huan to the county government office.
"Master Hu, are these your guards?"
In the yard of the county government, Ma Shang and several other guards were all placed in the yard, covered in blood. After Hu Yunqing came in and saw it, he was a little unsteady on his feet.
The magistrate came over and first raised his hands as a sign of respect. He also knew that Hu Yunqing was a guest of His Highness.
But the hatred towards the Ming people in my heart is not so easy to eliminate. He asked Hu Yunqing with indifferent eyes.
"Yes, how did they die?"
Hu Yunqing knelt on the ground with one leg, picked up Ma Shang, and asked the magistrate very calmly.
Looking at the prince's expression, he knew that the prince was really angry.
"We caught a perpetrator. He said he was instructed by others to destroy the short-lived peace between Ming Dynasty and Jiannu."
"I have to give an explanation. If you can't give me an explanation, I will follow their wishes. If there is another war, don't blame me!"
Hu Yunqing wiped Ma Shang's face with his clothes, put Ma Shang down, stood up, walked to the magistrate and said.
"It has nothing to do with us. These people are most likely sent by your enemies. You might as well think about who your enemies are."
The county magistrate looked a little ugly after listening to Hu Yunqing's words, and shrugged helplessly and said to him.
"I have killed all my enemies, but this happened to you. If you can't catch the murderer, don't blame me!"
"Master Hu, we have something to say."
"Somebody come!"
Hu Yunqing didn't want to listen to the magistrate's nonsense at all. He couldn't stand it when his own people were stabbed to death in a foreign country. Even if there was another war, how many people would be killed or injured would have nothing to do with him.
After experiencing so many life and death separations, Hu Yunqing became increasingly calm, but there was no less anger in his heart.
"exist!"
Juan and all the guards, with red eyes, stood up straight and said.
"Take all the brothers' bodies back to the inn."
Hu Yunqing held back his tears and didn't let them flow out here. After getting on the carriage, he couldn't hold back anymore and started crying while holding his head.
He really didn't understand why he came out when he was alone in a small village with many villagers.
Hu Yunqing seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. What Hu Yunqing thought was that if he did not join the court as an official, or get out of these things earlier, the people around him would not be far away from him.
"Your Majesty, the bodies of our brothers have been brought back. Do you want to take another look at them? We will put them in coffins after you have seen them."
After carrying all the bodies back, Juan stood outside the door, knocked gently on the door, and said to the prince inside.
"There's no need to look any further. Let's collect the bodies. After we're done, find a few reliable people to come over."
Hu Yunqing did not walk out of the room, but pretended to be calm and gave instructions to Juan.
Juan, who still wanted to say something, chose to shut up and quickly led people to collect the body. This time, as soon as Ma Shang died, all the selected goods were returned and the carriage he brought was used to load the brothers. Several bodies.
Not only Ma Shang's body, but also the people who died on the way to Jinzhou City, Hu Yunqing must take them home and cannot bury them outside the customs.
The merchants who originally brought all the goods, when they heard that the Ming Dynasty's caravan no longer wanted them, began to protest one after another, and led people to block the door of the inn.
Dolan also dispatched soldiers to drive them away.
