Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Chapter 97: The "Cannon Fodder" General Disguised as a Man (42)

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Cai Jiansheng running to his room like a madman and starting to pack up the banknotes and clothes.

He kept muttering to himself, "It's over, it's over."

Even Mrs. Cai was puzzled and hurried forward to ask, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Cai Jiansheng packed his things while urging, "Madam, pack your things quickly. We must leave the city immediately. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Wu Chi was also confused. He thought Cai Jiansheng was provoked by the bandits.

"Brother-in-law, are you afraid those robbers will come again? General Qin has already sent people..."

Cai Jiansheng was so angry that his face turned red. He angrily threw up his sleeves and said, "I'll say it again. If you want to live, pack your things quickly, otherwise you will die here!"

If Wu Chi wasn't his brother-in-law, he would really want to strangle him to death right now!

Why go to Gu Ci and Qin Zheng for help?

This is because they think their whole family is not dying fast enough!

Seeing Wu Chi was about to ask more questions, Madam Cai stepped forward and said, "Xiao Chi, don't ask any more questions. Your brother-in-law has his reasons for saying so."

"Just listen to your brother-in-law. Hurry back and pack your things. We'll meet you at the city gate!"

Although they have been married for many years, she doesn't know what happened.

But based on her understanding of Cai Jiansheng, something serious must have happened, otherwise he would not be so panicked.

Wu Chi nodded and ran out with a serious expression.

Just a moment later, Wu Chi's screams were heard outside the room.

The servant hurried over to report, "Sir, this is bad! Our mansion has been surrounded by General Qin's men!"

"what?!"

Cai Jiansheng stopped packing his bag.

At the same time, he felt unbelievable, "How could it be so fast?!"

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly walked out of the room.

Sure enough, Wu Chi, his children, concubines, and relatives and friends who had come to visit earlier were all escorted to the ground by Qin Zheng's men.

"Sir, help me!"

"Dad, Mom, save me!"

There was crying and shouting in the courtyard.

Looking at Qin Zheng who was standing in front of him like a devil, Cai Jiansheng felt that his head was buzzing.

"It's not even dawn yet. Where is Lord Cai going?" Qin Zheng asked coldly, pointing at his sword.

Cai Jiansheng's expression remained calm, and he feigned composure. "General Qin, why are you leading your troops to intrude upon my residence so late at night? What's your intention?"

General Qin sneered, "Lord Cai is indeed worthy of being the head of a county. Not only is his ability to embezzle and accept bribes exceptional, but he's also a master at feigning deafness and dumbness."

As soon as the words fell, a flash of sword light appeared.

The head of the housekeeper fell to the ground in an instant.

Blood splattered onto the other kneeling people, covering them in blood, and everyone was immediately terrified.

Qin Zheng casually wiped the sword in his hand with the corner of the butler's clothes.

"Sir Cai, this general's patience is limited. I will give you a chance to confess now."

Upon hearing this, Cai Jiansheng stopped pretending.

"Qin Zheng, don't go too far! Don't think I don't know that the incident at Black Wind Village was orchestrated by you!"

When he first heard the news, he was still wondering.

Over the years, he had already made agreements with all the major strongholds. Why would Black Wind Stronghold suddenly change its mind?

It was not until he heard the news that Qin Zheng had set out to suppress the bandits and rushed over that he suddenly realized what was going on.

All this is Qin Zheng’s conspiracy!

It’s just that he was wrong from the beginning.

Thinking that the person in front of him was still a young boy, he underestimated his abilities!

"what!"

With a scream, a relative of Cai Jiansheng died instantly under Qin Zheng's knife.

"Master Cai, I told you my patience is limited."

Every word Qin Zheng spoke was as cold as ice, which made Cai Jiansheng's family members extremely frightened, fearing that they would be the next to die.

"Dad/Master/Brother-in-law! Save us!"

Unexpectedly, Cai Jiansheng suddenly started laughing out loud.

The strange laughter seemed even more eerie under the hazy moonlight, sending chills down one's spine.

"I admit that I did commit corruption and bribery, collusion between officials and gangsters, and numerous crimes, but which official in the government dares to say that he is incorruptible?!"

"Since they can't do it, why are they forcing me?!"

Qin Zheng angrily rebuked, "You're making a specious argument!" Others' violations of discipline will be judged by the laws of Daxia. This cannot be used as an excuse to convict you of a crime.

"You speak so righteously, but you are just making excuses for your own selfishness!"

Seeing Qin Zheng's righteous expression, Cai Jiansheng sneered, "Qin Zheng, do you think that if you kill me, the world will be at peace? How naive!"

"If a man doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. There are many officials like me in the world. Can you really eliminate them all?!"

Qin Zheng rushed forward, grabbed Cai Jiansheng with one hand, and put the sword on his neck.

"I don't know how many people like you there are in the world, but don't let me see you, or I will definitely eliminate all evil! Take you away!"

------

“Boring! Boring!”

A loud gong sounded, immediately attracting the attention of the people around.

All that was heard was the loud shouting of the person beating the gong: "During his tenure, this crooked official, Cai Jiansheng, embezzled and accepted bribes, colluded with bandits, lied about tax revenues, bullied men and women, and disregarded human life. His crimes are too numerous to list!"

"They have been apprehended by General Qin Zheng and the Dingbei Army! Cai Jiansheng and his family will be beheaded at noon!"

Afterwards, everyone saw soldiers escorting the prison van carrying Cai Jiansheng and his family through the streets.

When the people came to their senses, they realized that they were not hallucinating.

In an instant, everyone started moving.

While cursing, they threw rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and even stones at Cai Jiansheng's family.

One elderly woman even knelt down and cried, "Erwazi, did you see that?! That bastard Tsai Jiansheng is getting his comeuppance!"

When these words were spoken, countless people's eyes were red.

Suddenly, the crowds surged, the streets were deserted, the prison van had difficulty moving, and a stampede almost occurred.

Due to the public outrage, the escort personnel who were supposed to arrive at the execution ground before noon had to wait until the appointed time to arrive.

Facing the agitated people of Lu County, Qin Zheng calmed them down and said, "Fellow villagers, Cai Jiansheng has committed many evil deeds. Today, we have decided to execute him."

"In light of Cai Jiansheng's previous excessive taxation, this general has submitted a letter to the Emperor, and the Emperor has granted a three-year tax exemption for the people of Lu County!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people of Lu County began to talk about it, and it was obvious that they did not believe Qin Zheng's words at first.

It was not until Qin Zheng took out the bright yellow imperial edict that everyone's eyes turned red and they shouted "Long live the emperor!"

Qin Zheng continued, "The common people who had gone into the mountains to become bandits before, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, can return to their families and re-register their houses and lands at the county government office."

"The young and strong men must go and build the city walls and help us resist the foreign enemies, only then can they return home after the war."

The vast majority of people in the mountain stronghold became bandits because the world was difficult and they had no way out.

Now with Qin Zheng's guarantee, no taxes will be collected for three years.

They have enough confidence to rebuild their homes. Who would be willing to live on the edge of a knife?

After explaining everything clearly, with Qin Zheng's order, Cai Jiansheng and others were beheaded instantly.

Blood splattered, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire execution ground and went straight to the top of his head.

But the people of Lu County were completely unaware of what was happening. They walked forward laughing and crying, repeatedly trampling on and beating the bodies of Cai Jiansheng and others.
