Those young masters, young men, and low-level officials with extraordinary backgrounds who came from Beijing once again felt that they were worth their money.
Han You sent out most of his friends, along with some of the cavalry and the government soldiers brought by Lao Han, to capture and kill people, and to directly fill the vacancies in the civil and military teams in the local government.
Just deciding on this matter took me a whole afternoon. After the map was put away and most people left, Han You came to the beach.
Most of the friends left, including the princes. Just like in the past, the only one following Han You was the Third Young Master of the Killing Family.
Walking on the beach under the moonlight, Han You was as if in a dream. He really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
He thought that there would be a bloody storm, and that many people would die, including the Japanese thieves, the boat master, and his companions.
Who would have thought that after dad came, it would be solved like this.
Han You knew that things were definitely not as easy and comfortable as Wang Shan said, and the process must be dangerous.
In fact, the actual situation was indeed not that relaxing and comfortable, and it was not as troublesome as Wang Shan said. Old Han really just went for a walk on the sea, and after returning to the boat master's camp, he led his men to cut down the people on the boat. So solved.
A fat figure walked over. Wang Hai turned around, took a look, nodded, and Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui released Gong Xingming.
Hearing the footsteps, Han You turned his head and was quite surprised: "Did you put on official robes?"
Gong Xingming, who has been staying in the camp recently, smiled slightly: "If you don't wear it, you won't have a chance."
Han You's expression paused and he waved, and Gong Xingming walked side by side with the former.
For more than thirty steps, the two remained silent.
The waves came and wet Han You's trouser legs, and the soles of his feet, scratched by a shell he stepped on some time ago, ached slightly.
Gong Xingming knew about this and said in an inexplicable tone: "In the East China Sea, this kind of thing happens all the time. Everyone gets their feet wet and scratches their feet. No one is exception."
"It may not be that old Master Pang Pan didn't wet his feet or scratch his feet."
"Youzhou is not the East China Sea or the Three East China Sea Roads. Youzhou is the prince's fiefdom. The reason why Mr. Pang didn't get his feet wet or scratched is, as I said, it has nothing to do with the prince's fiefdom. Youzhou is no longer The three paths of the East China Sea.”
Gong Xingming stopped and looked at the endless sea level: "Your Majesty, there are also three roads in the East China Sea, and the third prince, His Highness King Han."
Han You was speechless. Yes, there are no good people in the East China Sea. This place is just a big dye vat, an invisible abyss and an invisible whirlpool.
"No one is immune. Your Majesty was afraid of scratching his foot, so he took the initiative to transfer away from the East China Sea. Mr. Pang was afraid of scratching his foot, so he took his family and left to Youzhou. General Tie was afraid of scratching his foot, so he went to Bei land."
gong My feet have already been scratched, and only the water of the East China Sea can save me, just like drinking poison to quench thirst."
Having said this, Gong Xingming slowly took off his jade belt, took out the official seal of the governor and presented it to Han You with both hands.
"Now that the general has started killing people, I am too lazy to escape. I can't escape. I couldn't escape from the East China Sea back then. I can't escape now, and I don't want to escape anymore. I'm getting older. It's not a big deal to just die here."
"Yes, I couldn't escape then, and I can't escape now even more."
Han You took the jade belt and official seal, threw it to Lu Baichuan and snapped his fingers.
Wang Hai took out a list of names from his arms, flipped through it for a while and handed it to Han You.
Under the moonlight, Han You read the roster and said: "The Gong family, the wealthy Dongyun family, the head of the Gong family, Gong Xingming... forget it."
Han You closed the booklet: "Speak for yourself."
"He commits all kinds of evil, including raping women, avenging personal vengeance, embezzling people's property, indulging family members to guide Japanese privateers and plundering, sending food and grass to Yu Yunyao and other rogue gangs, buying and selling official positions, supporting and placing cronies in important positions, the crime can be serious. die."
Gong Xingming sat on the beach, took off his official boots and knocked the non-existent yellow sand inside.
Barefooted, Gong Xingming stood up again and laughed: "God wants me to die. God wants me to die. If the Japanese thieves come again, I will inform you once more, twice in total, and change the news each time." With half a life, maybe I can save a life in the hands of the general."
"Yeah, it's a pity."
Han You patted Gong Xingming on the shoulder: "It's God's will. Don't blame me."
"No blame. If you dare to blame, you will have to blame yourself."
Speaking of this, Gong Xingming suddenly asked: "If there is another night attack by Japanese thieves, and two reports are leaked in succession, and I lose half my life twice, will the general... really let me go?"
"Do you want to tell the truth or lie?"
"It's a lie."
"I'll let you go."
Gong Xingming laughed loudly when he heard this. After laughing for a long time, his smile faded: "That's good, the general has a Bodhisattva heart."
"Killing you is still a bodhisattva-hearted thing?"
"Killing one person and saving ten thousand people is naturally the heart of a Bodhisattva. It is not advisable to let one person go and harm ten thousand people. General, with such a Bodhisattva heart, he can definitely restore peace to the East China Sea. Well, fortunately, I can still have many companions on the road. Son."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be many people going down to accompany you."
Han You looked at Gong Xingming's chubby face and was filled with emotion.
In his heart, he was somewhat grateful to Gong Xingming.
If this guy hadn't come to report that night, once the Japanese thieves attacked at night, not to mention that everyone would have no resistance, there would definitely be a lot of damage. No, it should be heavy damage. If they don't pile up and stick together, the gunpowder arrows can't do anything at all. With such great lethality, there will be accidental injuries in the event of a melee.
But that's not how accounts are calculated. It's how the Buddhists calculate it. Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately doesn't mean that all crimes are offset by doing good deeds.
Han You didn't believe this, nor did he calculate it according to this. The Gong family had done a lot of bad things. Although Gong Xingming had never killed anyone, it was not an exaggeration to call him a traitor.
Just like what he said, you can't hang around in the East China Sea without getting your trouser legs wet, and you can't scratch the soles of your feet. Even Lao Ba couldn't survive in the Marine Division back then, and he couldn't gain a foothold in the East China Sea. To emerge from the mire and remain untainted is a fool's dream. Either become one of them, or leave as soon as possible.
Too many people have been to the East China Sea, including Lao Ba, Tie Chen, Pang Pan, Zhou Ben, and even Lao Han.
He didn't want to scratch his soles of his feet or wet his trouser legs, so he left. Zhou Ben couldn't leave. Needless to say, his fate was that he held the title of a prince. In addition, the crime was not worthy of death and he was led astray not long ago. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be alive today.
"I will let the child go. I have already explained it to His Highness the First Prince."
Han You suddenly wanted to comfort Gong Xingming, and repeated: "Mr. Pei has sent people to investigate, your eldest son... you also know that I can't let him go, and your two-bedroom concubine, but other People, those children and women, the eldest prince will let them go."
"Thank you, General."
Gong Xingming breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't seem to feel unwilling. He had already accepted his fate, as if he felt that he had gotten a big deal.
"one question."
Han You asked the question that he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Actually, you shouldn't have come to report the news that night. You don't understand the power of gunpowder. Even if you did, we would be at a loss when we were attacked at night and suffered heavy losses. If you were lucky, , I might die in the battle, and if I die in the battle, your Gong family might be saved."
Gong Xingming couldn't laugh or cry.
Of course he didn't want to tip off the news, and he shouldn't have even taken the initiative to see Han You in the first place.
But he tipped off the news and met Han You, and it was indeed because he was afraid, but it was not Han You who was afraid, but Han Bairen. After knowing that Han Bairen was the commander-in-chief who led the army to the East China Sea, the moment he learned the news, Gong Xingming Already knew that he was doomed.
"Maybe you don't believe it, but actually, I understand you, because I was once a little person, a little person, and I couldn't fight against fate."
Han You told the truth: "When we are abandoned by a fate that should not abandon us, we can only become dirty, despicable, and shameful, just to live, to live for the people we care about, To keep the people you care about alive.”
Gong Xingming turned his head and didn't understand.
He felt that other people might die or be desperate after being abandoned by fate, but Han You was different. Not to mention being abandoned by fate, everyone in the world had abandoned him. As long as his father did not abandon him, he would be the luckiest in the world. people.
"Choose a way to die, one that's more honorable."
"Okay, something more respectable."
Gong Xingming's chubby face suddenly turned red, and he said a little shyly: "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes. In fact, I have never been to the sea."
"Pfft", Han You laughed: "You were born and raised in the East China Sea, but you have never been to the sea?"
"No, not even once. I am timid. I always feel that this huge sea is very ruthless. I always stay far away. My Gong family is finished. It doesn't matter how the bones are laid, then..."
Gong Xingming took two steps back and saluted Han You: "Farewell, I wish the general a triumphant return to the capital."
Han You took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "Let's go."
Gong Xingming turned his head and walked towards the sea step by step resolutely.
The sea water was up to my calves.
The water was up to my waist.
The water was up to my chest.
A violent coughing sound was heard, and the fat figure was blurred until it disappeared.
Han You just stopped and stared until he couldn't see anything or hear any sound.
"Go ahead."
Han You looked at Jiang Zhui and said slightly.
Jiang Zhui hummed, took off his armor and walked towards the sea.
After a while, Jiang Zhui came back: "I saw it. It's floating. He must have choked to death."
"Go one more time." Han You pulled out the short knife from Wang Hai's waist and said, "The vital point."
"yes."
Jiang Zhui returned to the sea water again.
This time everyone waited for a long time. When Ah Zhui came back, the blood on the dagger had been washed away.
Jiang Zhui cursed.
Han You said angrily: "Look, how can a person who has been in the East China Sea for decades never go into the sea or not know how to swim?"
"That bitch scared me. When I got closer, I opened my eyes suddenly and almost choked on the water."
Han You laughed loudly: "Last words?"
"Let me tell Shao Yin that I'm sorry. After all, I still lost my dignity."
"You said it to beg for mercy?"
"Said with a wry smile."
"You know this bastard is not telling the truth."
Han You rolled his eyes: "Go, collect the body and find a better place to bury it. At least you have saved the lives of many brothers."
After saying that, Han You walked away with his hands behind his back, but when he turned around, he sighed silently.
