"I want to see who dares to come here and make trouble." Li Damin looked at the commotion of the people and said loudly.
At this time, an Eight Banners cavalry wearing Zhenghongqi armor appeared in the empty passage. The flag soldier seemed to be relieved when he saw that the four people in the execution ground had not yet been executed, and he also slowed down and sat down on his horse.
Seeing that the person coming was actually a Manchurian Red Flag man, Li Damin did not dare to continue to show off his official power. Instead, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Who are you and why do you come to stop the execution?"
"I am Shumur Gamuge, deputy commander of the cavalry under Lord Kakatmu of the Red Banner of Manchuria. Due to military needs, these rebels will be handed over to our military headquarters." At this time, a horseman came slowly on horseback. Shumur Gamuge in front of Li Damin said coldly.
While talking, Shumur Gamuge reached out and took out a copper token from his arms and threw it to Li Damin to verify his identity.
Li Damin stretched out his hand to catch the token thrown by Shumur Gamuge, and checked it carefully. After confirming that the information was correct, Li Damin showed a troubled expression on his face and said:
"Lord Gamuge, your identity is correct. However, this matter seems to be a bit inconsistent with the court's rules. Unless you can produce relevant documents or a pardon, otherwise, please forgive me for not obeying this order."
"What are the rules and regulations? I don't understand these. I just know that this has been approved by the adults above. Isn't this enough?" After hearing Li Damin's rejection, Shumur Gamuge shouted loudly. got up.
Shumur Gamuge's scolding even frightened the horse he was sitting on to neigh uneasily, forcing him to pat its neck to comfort it.
Li Damin was naturally frightened by the anger of the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers. Since childhood, Li Damin has heard a lot of words about how the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were ferocious and unmatched.
Looking at the appearance of this Manchurian flag soldier now, it is indeed scary.
However, no matter what, Li Damin was still an official of the imperial court, and I believed that no matter how bad the Eight Banners soldiers behaved, they would not dare to kill him in public. Therefore, although Li Damin was afraid, he was not completely afraid to face the Manchurian flag soldiers.
If a rebellious death row prisoner is handed over to him because of a few words from someone who came here, and he is held accountable when the time comes, will he still be an official?
So, Li Damin took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to reply: "Even if your Excellency says so, I still can't hand over the prisoner to you. Since ancient times, I have always said it is empty talk. How do I know that you are not lying, Your Excellency?" What about me? Besides, I, Qing Law, have never heard of such a thing."
"Then what do you want?" Shumuel Gamuge's face darkened and he asked Li Damin unhappily.
"My lord has said it, since the adults above also know and agree to this matter. As long as you can give the documents of the adults above to me for a look, I will naturally hand over the prisoner to you. . Otherwise, just with a few words from your Majesty, in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty, please forgive me and obey my orders." Li Damin replied firmly, holding the official hat on his head.
"Pap..."
There was a sound of boots hitting the ground.
At this time, Shumur Gamuge jumped off the horse, walked up to Li Damin and said with a stern face: "I told you, it's because of military needs and it's related to military situation. If you still don't let me go, is it?" What do you want? Do you want to rebel? I wonder if you also want to rebel."
"What, rebellion? Sir, you are joking. I can tell you my true feelings for the Qing Dynasty..." After Shumur Gamuge said this, Li Damin quickly pointed his finger to the sky and swore.
"Since you don't want to rebel, why don't you hand them over to me and keep inquiring about the military situation? I have to wonder if you are with the rebels." Shumur Gamuge said reluctantly. .
"This...this..." Li Damin, who had already been wary of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, was speechless at this moment.
Li Damin knew that if he did not hand over these rebels to the Manchurian flag soldiers now, it would be difficult for him to tell them even if he had such a big hat. Especially at this special time, the superiors might kill him for the sake of morale.
However, if it is left to him like this, if something goes wrong, the official position that he has worked so hard for so many years will probably not be guaranteed.
Li Damin's heart ached when he thought that he might not be able to serve as an official in the future, and he was not afraid of Shumul Gamuge's threat. After all, he wants to behead the rebels. Isn’t it a joke to say that he is also a rebel?
As long as this Manchurian Eight Banners soldier did not dare to act recklessly in public, he would have no reason to be afraid of him. Therefore, Li Damin straightened out his thoughts and said with a sense of justice: "This, no matter how you slander me, I am not afraid. As an official of the Qing Dynasty, I have been favored by the emperor and it is fundamental to protect the laws of the Qing Dynasty. I haven’t seen the documents, so I apologize for my difficulty in obeying my order.”
"There is no time. In this case, we can only..." Shumuel Gamuge naturally muttered to himself.
"What?" Li Damin asked curiously when he saw Shumuer Gamuge's low voice and natural appearance.
"Nothing, just..."
"Snapped…"
As Shumur Gamuge said this, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Li Damin hard. The force was so strong that he knocked him to the ground.
"You, how can you beat someone? No matter what you say, I am an official of the imperial court. I will definitely accuse the imperial court..." Li Damin, who was stunned by the beating, fell to the ground and covered his face, shouting loudly.
"You are the one who was beaten. You maliciously made things difficult and delayed the military situation. It would not be an exaggeration to kill you. Are you going to report me to the court?" Shumul Gamuge stepped forward and kicked Li Damin several times until he screamed for help. .
"Help... I killed someone, Li Le, are you all dead? Come here and save me..."
Seeing that the government officials around him were about to make a move, Shumur Gamuge warned loudly: "I wonder which of you dares to do it? Do you want to rebel?"
"this…"
The government officials looked at each other and stopped in a tacit understanding. Even Li Le, who was named by Li Damin, could only stand there and watch helplessly.
"Master Cavalry, Master Li is an official of the imperial court no matter what, please don't go too far." Looking at Li Damin who was bruised and bruised, Li Le had no choice but to bravely persuade him. After all, if Li Damin is really beaten to death by the Manchurian flag soldiers in the street, his arrest as a headhunter will come to an end.
Shumur Gamuge looked at Li Le who was speaking out and roughly understood what he meant. So he turned away and said to Li Damin: "Let me ask you, can I take them away now?"
"If you want to take it away, please take it away!" Li Damin replied weakly.
"Very good. If you were to say that just now, it would be fine. You don't have to cause pain all over." Shumuel Gamuge said with satisfaction:
"Let me tell you, this Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty of our Manchu people, and this emperor is also the emperor of our Manchu people. From now on, as a Han official, don't talk about me and me in front of us Manchus. How about me, listen. It's annoying. I'm going to beat you, but you still dare to complain to the court? Do you think I will be afraid?"
"Yes..." Li Damin lowered his head and responded.
