As soon as Liu Deng glanced at him, He Jin's scalp suddenly felt numb. When did his king possess such power?
This is to beat this guy to death!
But after seeing the look in Liu Deng's eyes, He Jin didn't dare to continue talking nonsense. He could only stand up in person, grabbed Xiao Jialiang's clothes and walked aside.
Several soldiers accompanying him immediately brought the horse stool, fixed Xiao Jialiang, took out the iron rod they brought, swung the iron rod and started beating him.
The iron rods used for executions in the military are not something ordinary people can afford, not to mention that Xiao Jialiang is just a scholar.
After so many years of being pampered and pampered, he could still remain strong-willed in the beginning, gritting his teeth and not making a sound.
But after these ten sticks, he immediately couldn't stand it anymore.
Liu Deng just watched Xiao Jialiang being beaten indifferently. Listening to his master's screams, the servants and servants of the Xiao family became even more miserable.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the things he committed were all done by himself and have nothing to do with us. We were just following orders. Please spare your life, Your Majesty!"
Xu Sancai immediately knelt on the ground. At this time, he didn't dare to say any nonsense.
Liu Deng was so ruthless that he didn't even have to go through a trial. He just came up and was served with a military stick.
Xiao Jialiang, the county magistrate and Liu Deng, didn't even look down on him, let alone a small county captain like him.
If you really crush them to death, to put it bluntly, it is just crushing an ant to death, and the court may not even ask.
Even if the censors in the court pursue the matter, the most they can do is fine them copper. But is the current King of Dai short of money?
"Liu Deng, if you have the guts, kill me. If you have the guts, kill me!"
As time passed by, the sound of Chen Zhong's iron rod hitting his flesh could be heard continuously. Originally, Xiao Jialiang was still screaming.
But after forty or fifty sticks passed, the bone-deep pain gradually turned into numbness.
Not because he was used to the pain, but because his waist had been completely broken.
At this time, he could no longer feel his legs, and could only hear the sound of the two iron rods behind him, as if they were hammering to break a sack.
"Kill you. Don't you think it would be too easy to kill you after you have done so many things?"
Liu Deng temporarily stretched out his hand to stop the execution soldiers, and then turned his eyes to look at Xiao Jialiang, who was covered in blood.
"Hahahaha, do you think that by taking this money, you are completely in control of the situation? Let me tell you, none of the 50,000 or 60,000 people in this city have overnight food! Within a radius of 500 miles, all All merchants have no food to sell!”
Although Xiao Jialiang was vomiting blood now, he still smiled so happily.
"Are you done? You can go die now!"
After Liu Deng finished speaking. He came to Xiao Jialiang's side with an expressionless face, put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and slowly pulled out the sword at his waist inch by inch.
"I never like to use violence. It may be hard for you to believe that my hands have never been stained with human blood until now, but I am willing to make an exception for you today!"
Looking at the cold sword edge in his hand, Liu Deng's voice sounded like he was talking in his sleep.
"You don't dare to kill me, you don't dare to kill me!"
Xiao Jialiang shouted loudly.
"puff--"
Liu Deng struck back with his sword. This well-cast sword finally shed blood for the first time.
The smelly blood sprayed all over Liu Deng's head and face, but he didn't feel any discomfort!
Although this was the first time that Liu Deng had personally killed anyone, in just over a year, the number of people who had died indirectly at Liu Deng's hands had ranged from 100,000 to 80,000.
Looking at the head on the ground that was still dripping blood, Liu Deng slowly turned around, the sword in his hand still dripping blood.
"Send the order, the army will enter the city! Send people to search every place in the city in detail and register the grain stored in the treasury!"
Liu Deng didn't know if this guy had anything to do with Xu Yin, but if he acted with such no bottom line towards this guy, Liu Deng would never let him go!
"Sir, Xiao Jialiang is dead!"
In a small village outside the city, Xu Yin, dressed in white, was sitting in the yard of a farmhouse, holding a piece of dried beef jerky in his hand and playing with two farm dogs.
A middle-aged man dressed in linen farmer's clothing stood in front of him with a low eyebrow and said in a low voice.
"That guy's death is not a pity. It was expected. There is nothing surprising. Now that Liu Deng has arrived, let them start taking action. I want to take a closer look to see if there is any human king in this guy. Qi!"
While Xu Yin was speaking, he tore off a small strip from the beef jerky and threw it high into the air.
The native dog on the ground immediately jumped up, caught the beef jerky falling from the sky, swallowed it in one gulp, and kept wagging its tail towards Xu Yin.
"promise!"
After the man responded, he saluted Xu Yin, then turned to the pigeon cage on the side, picked up a pigeon, and let it fly...
After receiving Liu Deng's order, three thousand Shenwu troops quickly entered Buqi City.
They were divided into several teams. One team searched in front and behind the county government office, while the other team rushed to the treasury.
However, at this moment, billowing smoke suddenly appeared from a small mountain col outside the city!
"Your Majesty, look!"
Looking at the smoke and dust rising not far away, Liu Deng suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be Xu Yin who had taken the first step?
"Where is the collected food? If you tell me clearly, I will spare your life. If you don't tell me clearly, just die with him!"
Liu Deng suddenly grabbed Xu Sancai's collar and said murderously.
"Your Majesty, please spare your life! He personally hid the food with others. I really don't know about it!"
Xu Sancai was obviously frightened by Liu Deng's murderous aura, and he began to stutter when speaking.
"Send a team over to take a look, pay attention to safety!"
Liu Deng kicked him to the ground, not bothering to talk nonsense to him.
If all the food they looted was burned by fire, then the fun would be really great.
By now, there should be 50,000 to 60,000 people in Buqi County, and these people are basically all old, weak, women and children!
If the food supply is suddenly gone, people will really die within a few days!
What Liu Deng couldn't even imagine was that what this guy said was probably true!
After all, the four countries of Jiaoxi, Jiaodong, Zichuan, and Jinan have just launched 400,000 rebels!
It is not impossible that all the food in the country has been plundered by them and used for military purposes!
Even if Liu Deng did not care about the cost, returning to Jinyang to transport grain at this time, plus the time of collecting grain, carriages and horses, would take at least half a month!
Half a month is enough to turn the entire Buqi City into a hell on earth!
The ground is full of hungry people, corpses are lying in the fields, the ground is bare for thousands of miles, and people change their sons to eat...
When Liu Deng thought of these adjectives, he suddenly felt shuddering...
