Su Hanju not only recognized Cao Xiong's head, but also recognized two other heads, one named Liang Xin and the other named He Yangxia.
One lieutenant general and two major generals.
Su Hanju never expected that the seemingly ordinary old woman in front of him would be carrying the heads of three generals.
He grasped the edge of the square table tightly with both hands, suppressing the anger in his heart and preventing himself from bursting out and hurting others. He believed that if there had not been a conversation before opening the oil paper, he would have pounced on the old woman and killed her with one slap.
Cao Xiong, what a brave general, he charged on the battlefield like a tiger descending from a mountain, and killed big-toothed dogs in fear. How sad is it that he didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of an old woman? How heartbreaking and angry?
Although Liang Xin and He Yangxia were not as brave as Cao Xiong, they were still useful talents. They had made great contributions in the defense of Baiyun City, but they also died at the hands of the old woman.
The successive battles had already caused heavy losses to the officers of Baiyun City, resulting in a severe shortage of talents. And now that the ultimate war is imminent, one more or one less brave general like Cao Xiong may be the difference between the enemy suffering 100,000 more casualties or our side suffering 100,000 more casualties, and may even affect the outcome of the war. burden. However, the old woman actually killed three generals in one go. Su Hanju could hardly bear this huge loss.
"Woman!" Su Hanju finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and roared at the old woman: "I don't know what grudge you have against these three generals, but I know that you have caused a huge disaster! Do you know Da Ya? The dog is approaching the city, eyeing our Baiyun City?! Do you know that the generals in the army have suffered countless losses in battles, and we are in urgent need of officers with the talent to lead troops in battle?! Do you know that without these three generals, our army will have many more soldiers? How many people were killed in the battle?! Do you know that the current war situation is very serious. It is very likely that if you lose a battle, the gate of Baiyun City will be broken down by big-toothed dogs?! Do you know that once the city is broken, millions of people in the city will be destroyed? Big Toothed Dog Massacre?! Is it as simple as three heads that you chopped off?! No! You chopped off the heads of tens of thousands of our Baiyun soldiers! What you chopped off might be the heads of millions of people in my Baiyun City!"
The head presented on the table caused panic and commotion. Su Hanju's roaring and angry shouts aroused the anger of the people on the street, and they all looked at the old woman angrily.
"Protect the prince!"
"Kill this old thief, she is a big tooth spy!"
"Old thief, you deserve death for harming me, General Baiyun City!"
Those who were brave enough to take advantage of the situation rushed forward with a ferocious look on their face, intending to execute the old woman on the spot.
"Wait a minute!" The old woman's face turned pale. How could she, a woman, be able to withstand Su Hanju's anger? Moreover, Su Hanju's series of questions were something she had never thought of. Only after hearing this did she realize the seriousness of the matter. She She was scared, but did not give in. She slammed the table with her right hand, grabbed Cao Xiong's head with her left hand and stood up. She stretched out Cao Xiong's face to the rushing crowd and shouted: "Open your eyes and see clearly." , this is the dog head of the adulterous thief Cao Xiong! And these two are all adulterous thieves who colluded with the dog thief Cao Xiong! Shouldn’t they die?!"
The rushing crowd suddenly stopped when they heard Cao Xiong's name.
"Really—really a dog thief!"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-the thief Cao is dead! Good death! Ha-ha-"
"The adulterer Cao Xiong is dead!"
"Ha ha--"
Su Hanju's angry expression changed slightly, and his eyes flickered, because he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears that someone recognized Cao Xiong, and then for the first time
The reaction turned out to be joy, applause, and then running around to tell each other. In just a dozen breaths, the news of Cao Xiong's death spread throughout half the street. Everywhere the news went, people shouted loudly, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
He weakly loosened his grip on the edge of the table. The reaction of the people told him that Cao Xiong had already become notorious and had reached the point where everyone yelled at him to beat a rat crossing the street. How many bad things had he done? But he didn't know anything about it.
Seeing the people on the street cheering and cheering as if they were celebrating the New Year, the old woman's pale face improved a lot. She turned to look at Su Hanju again and said, "My lord, did you see that? He deserves to die!"
As he spoke, he threw Cao Xiong's head into the crowd with his left hand. Immediately, some people yelled and yelled and rushed forward, stamping and kicking Cao Xiong, until it rolled around on the street and turned into a ball.
"The bitch is short-sighted and has never thought about the serious issues that the prince said. The bitch only knew that Thief Cao deserved to die, so she killed him. These are the crimes that Thief Cao has committed over the past ten years. Bitch women have written it down one by one. If there is even a word that is false, the bitch will be struck by thunder and die! Please have the prince read it!" The old woman took out a book about half a finger's length from her arms and held it with both hands. superior.
The old servant stepped forward to tie the knot. He opened it and scanned it to make sure there was no danger hidden inside, and then handed it to Su Hanju.
Su Hanju took it in his hand and opened the first page. He saw that the evil deeds Cao Xiong had done were densely recorded in elegant small characters. After only reading half a page, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He suppressed his anger and read two pages. Page, he couldn't stand it anymore, he threw the book on the table angrily, and shouted: "Cao Xiong deserves to die! Even if he is cut into pieces with a thousand swords, it will be difficult to quell the public's anger! You are right, I am indeed old-sighted and unable to recognize people. , you can’t escape the blame! I, the king, must give you an explanation for the people who were harmed by Cao Xiong!”
As he spoke, he touched his waist with his right hand and pulled out a half-arm-long dagger.
"Master, I can't bear it!" The old servant immediately stepped forward to snatch it, but Su Han glared at him and retracted his hand in fright.
"Old Prince——" Old man Wang's face changed drastically and he wanted to stop him, but an invisible force emitted from Su Hanju's body pressed him down on the stool and prevented him from moving.
"Your Majesty, this bitch didn't mean that!" The old woman couldn't help but panic when she saw Su Hanju pulling out the dagger.
"No need to say more!" Su Hanju said firmly, interrupting the old woman. As he spoke, he raised his left arm, and held the dagger in his right hand and slashed it upward from the armpit of his left arm. The dagger was extremely sharp, and with a slight sound, his left arm was cut off at shoulder level.
"Master!" The old servant was so frightened that he grabbed Su Hanju's fallen left arm and tried to pick it back up. The hands, feet, and limbs that were severed like this were neatly cut, not eroded by poisons, and the time was short. As long as they were nourished by his power of stars, and combined with external application and internal use of elixirs, they could be put back together.
However, the old servant's movement was blocked by Su Han with his hand. He looked angry and shouted in an unquestionable tone: "Hang Cao Xiong's dog heads and my king's arms in the square and expose them to the sun for three days!"
"Master, I'm going to be punished for you, please. Take your arm back, and then--" The old servant begged, but his voice stopped suddenly, because Su Han raised his left arm and the broken part suddenly ignited a ball of flame, burning the wound. Sizzling sound.
"Master, why are you doing this?!" The old servant burst into tears.
"Didn't you hear what I said?!" Su Han glared angrily and shouted loudly.
"Yes! I obey the order!" The old servant had no choice but to accept the order. He reluctantly handed Su Han's raised arm to the guard who was following him, and ordered: "Follow the prince's order. If you dare
If there is any mistake, the whole family will be executed! "
"Yes!" The guards took the order and sent two people to go to the street to find Cao Xiong's head. It had been kicked to pieces by the people and was bloody and disfigured. It was too miserable to look at.
"The bitch is wrong, the bitch shouldn't have come!" The old woman's cheeks were stained with tears, and she stared at the severed arm raised by Su Han with a pale face. She really didn't expect that the old prince in front of her would be so tough and bloody, admitting her mistake and accepting punishment. There is no ambiguity, not even a word of justification.
"You're right. It's Cao Xiong who's wrong, it's me!" Su Hanju shook his head bitterly and said to the old servant: "I'm tired, go back."
The old servant hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Hanju and walked in the direction he was going. With a step of more than ten feet, the two figures disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The old woman also got up and left, not knowing what she was feeling.
"Master, why is this happening?!" Back at Zhennan Palace, the old servant bandaged Su Hanju's wound and said heartbrokenly.
"How can the common people be angry if this is not the case?" Su Hanju responded, "I, Su Hanju, have lived upright and sat upright all my life. I am worthy of heaven and earth. I can't live without it! I came into this world naked, and I have to stand up straight when I walk." Keep your waist high and walk in an upright manner!"
"Your strong temper is still the same as when you were young, it hasn't changed at all." The old servant smiled.
"Haha, you are born like this, you can't change it." Su Hanju laughed, then his expression darkened, and he said: "Take care of all those who colluded with Cao Xiong, helped Cao Xiong commit evil, and those who helped him cover up his scandals." If you find them out, no matter what their identity or official position, all the guilty ones will be executed, and the rest will be arranged to go to the vanguard camp to attack Haoyue City. They will live or die!"
"Yes!" A cold and fierce light flashed in the old servant's eyes, and Su Han's resentment aimed at these people.
"Hey, it's my fault! The common people have blocked the road to sue Cao Xiong a long time ago, but every time I am fooled by Cao Xiong's sweet words, and Cao Xiong turns around, reveals his green-faced fangs, and kills the accusers one by one. So much so that no one dared to sue him anymore. How disgusting!" Su Han said with hatred.
"Master, it's Cao Xiong who is too cunning!" the old servant consoled him.
…
It was already ten noon when Zhang Xiaozu and three others came out of Qi's house.
Qi Ronger called a carriage and drove to Qin's house with the three of them.
"What festival is today? Firecrackers are being set off in the streets and alleys to celebrate." Walking on the road, Zhang Xiaozu opened the curtains of his car and smelled the smoke of firecrackers in the air. He saw many people setting off firecrackers on both sides of the street. It seemed that today was a festive day. Day, but he thought about it for a while and couldn't remember what holiday it was, so he asked the other three people in the car.
"There's no festival, right?" Qi Ronger replied uncertainly.
Zhou Jianlai and Niu Dawa also shook their heads uncertainly.
The reason why they were unsure was because the sound of firecrackers in the streets did look like a festive day worth celebrating.
It wasn't until they heard someone lighting firecrackers and shouting "Cao Xiong, the dog thief died well" that they suddenly realized that the bursts of firecrackers in the streets and alleys were actually celebrating Cao Xiong's death.
After hearing this, Qi Ronger couldn't help clapping her hands and throwing a piece of silver towards a man on the street, asking him to help her set off a few more firecrackers.
When Zhang Xiaozu opened his ears and heard someone saying that the old prince thought he couldn't recognize people in the street, pulled out a dagger and cut off his left arm, and ordered someone to hang the severed arm in the square for public display, he was shocked beyond words and had deep feelings for the old prince. Deep reverence.
