Chapter 34

Deng Chen's heart, always has a superior sense. He was born in Deng's family. He was a great family with a prominent status and profound family background. In contrast, Zhang Xiu is just a soldier and bandit.

It's psychological contempt.

In addition, Deng Chen always believed that although Zhang Xiu won the negotiation with Liu Biao and took charge of the area to the north of Yuyang County, it was impossible to fight in front of the giant Deng family.

The Deng family is enough to frighten Zhang Xiu.

So Deng Chen dare to despise Zhang Xiu, dare not put Zhang Xiu in the eye.

Zhang Xiu after listening to Deng Chen's words, grinned, but this smile, how to see are full of cold and murderous. His eyes become more indifferent, said: "good, good, good a Deng family, good a Deng Chen."

This praise is a mockery.

Deng Chen didn't care. He said forcefully: "the Deng family is not afraid of provocation and struggle. Deng's family has been based in Nanyang County for many years, and they have encountered great storms. My Deng family doesn't make trouble, but they are not cowards. When things happen, the Deng family will not be afraid. "

Zhang Xiu listened to the threats and said, "I'm going to get a report. The Deng family colluded with the thieves to drive up the prices wantonly. Today, we are going to seal down Deng's business

"Who dares?"

Deng Chen stares big eyes, scolds a way: "Zhang Xiu, do you really want to tear to break a face?"

Zhang Xiu disdained to say: "what is tearing face? I didn't tear face, but got the accusation of the common people and punished the illegal businessmen specially. The Yuyang County under the general administration should be in good order. Any violation of law and discipline will be handled. Deng's firm, for the sake of wealth, is not benevolent and drives up prices. If you don't know how to repent, you should be punished! "

"Good, good, good!"

Deng Chen eyes Sen cold, said: "you Zhang Xiu to use force, Deng Chen accompany in the end."

"Somebody

Deng Chen gave the order.

At the command of Deng's firm, countless private soldiers poured out.

These private soldiers belong to the Deng family and are dedicated to protecting the safety of Deng's business. Deng's business covers an extremely large area, which has accumulated countless grains and made his family rich.

Without the private soldier's trilogy, food security can not be guaranteed at all.

"Kill

All the private soldiers drank, their voices were powerful and powerful, and they had a murderous air.

"Interesting, interesting."

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed, and the cold killing opportunity passed in her eyes. In Yuyang County, the private soldiers of Deng's firm dare to fight against him. They are really impatient. I don't know if this is because the Deng family feels good about themselves, or they think Zhang Xiu is a bully.

At the moment, Zhang Xiu has sentenced Deng Chen to death.

Deng Chen's eyes were rebellious, and he said again: "Zhang Xiu, you retreat immediately. The Deng family and your well water do not violate the river water, and they are at peace. If you insist on interfering in Deng's affairs, don't blame Deng's impoliteness. "

Zhang Xiu's eyes are full of cool color, disdain a way: "I pour want to see, you how not polite.". Archer, get ready! "

At the command, the archer came forward.

All the archers took bow and arrow and aimed at Deng's firm. Under the golden sun, the arrow is shining, twinkling with a cold light, and even with a chill.

Deng Chen mouth corner smoked to smoke, didn't expect Zhang Xiu so tough. However, at this stage of the development of the matter, he could not retreat. He could only grit his teeth and say, "prepare for war!"

All private soldiers, on guard.

Zhang Xiu see Deng Chen dead shoulder in the end, also no longer hesitated, raised his hand and ordered: "shoot the arrow!"

"Whew! Whew

Bows and arrows, like rain, keep shooting.

Dense bows and arrows fall into the Deng family's private soldiers. Even though the Deng family's private soldiers wave their steel knives and intend to push away the bows and arrows, the dense rain of arrows falls, and the pushed away bows and arrows are in the minority after all.

Many bows and arrows were shot into private soldiers.

Screams, one after another.

When Deng Chen saw this, he was completely angry. If Zhang Xiu didn't give him a way to live, he would never keep his hand, so Deng Chen gave an order: "rush over and kill Zhang Xiu for me. Kill Zhang Xiu and reward ten thousand yuan! "

A group of private soldiers, carrying knives, braved the rain of arrows, rushed forward quickly.

The distance between the two sides was not far. It was just a short charge. They rushed out of the range of bow and arrow shooting and went straight to Zhang Xiu's army.

Zhang Xiu is not impatient, no panic, said: "kill!"

Soldiers under the command, kill them immediately.

At this time, the archers stopped shooting and the two sides fought head-on.

Although the Deng family's private soldiers were fierce, they never went to the battlefield, and never really realized the ferocity and ruthlessness of fighting in the battlefield. As soon as they met the soldiers of the Xiliang army, they collapsed and couldn't stop the attack of the Xiliang army.

The soldiers of the Xiliang army were like beasts in flood, destroying the Deng family's private soldiers.

When Deng Chen saw this, he was confused.

How is that possible?

All the private soldiers in the business are highly trained and effective. They once protected the troops escorting grain teams, fought with thieves and bandits, won many battles and never lost.Now, it's a direct defeat.

It's shocking.

Deng Chen's eyes watched the private soldiers under his command continue to flee, and saw the soldiers of the Xiliang army come to kill him. He knew it was not good.

If we go on fighting, he will die.

It's impossible to escape.

Deng Chen wanted to live first, and then consider other things, so he immediately changed his tone and begged for mercy: "General Zhang, everything is easy to discuss. Stop now. I, Deng's firm, would like to surrender to General Zhang. "

Zhang Xiu is separated from Deng Chen, about ten steps away. In the continuous shouts and screams, Zhang Xiu can't hear Deng Chen's words. However, Zhang Xiu can tell by the shape of her mouth.

Zhang Xiu knows that Deng Chen has begged for mercy.

However, Zhang Xiu didn't pay attention to Deng Chen at all, and still let the soldiers under her command continue to fight.

The Deng family's private soldiers are getting more and more dead and wounded.

On the other hand, the soldiers of Xiliang army had little loss.

"What to do? What shall we do? "

At this moment, the heart of Deng Chen flustered God, incomparable worry. On his forehead, already permeated with fine beads of sweat, nervous.

In the current situation, if we continue to fight, the private guards of Deng's business firm will die here in half an hour. Including himself, will be killed.

Deng Chen is afraid in the heart, after thinking for a while, let the soldier protect, quickly rush to Zhang Xiu.

When he came to Zhang Xiu, Deng Chen said, "General Zhang, Deng Chen is wrong. Deng's firm is willing to do what general Zhang wants. Please let general Zhang hold his hand high. "

"It's late!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes are cold.

Zhang Xiu's character has never been a bad person. What he advocates is to repay kindness and revenge. A man is a man, he should return his teeth with his blood.

In this battle, if Zhang Xiu's strength is not better than Deng Chen's, Zhang Xiu's end may not be much better. So when Deng Chen begged for mercy, Zhang Xiu did not have any pity. She said directly, "Deng's business must be destroyed."

"Zhang Xiu, you damned dog officer, I'll fight with you."

Deng Chen sees Zhang Xiu so resolute, in the heart anger, pulls out the long sword between the waist, stabs toward Zhang Xiu.

"To die!"

Zhang Xiu saw that Deng Chen had killed him. As soon as she lifted her right hand, the golden spear in her hand stabbed out instantly.

"Hum!"

Sharp point of the gun, pierce the air, hang sharp howling, straight from Deng Chen's heart.

"Puchi!"

The point of the gun pierces into Deng Chen's heart and runs through his body easily.

"Poof!"

Red blood, like a spring splashing out.

As Zhang Xiu draws back his long gun, Deng Chen's body falls to the ground. Lying on the ground of Deng Chen, has lost breath, just stare big eyes, show his heart unwilling.

Zhang Xiu shot and killed Deng Chen and ordered: "Deng Chen is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed. There is no amnesty for the resistance

With Zhang Xiu's order, the Deng family's private soldiers who were still resisting gave up their resistance one by one and did not dare to fight with the Xiliang army again. They couldn't stop it originally, and if they continue to resist it, they will only increase the casualties.

People are selfish, and no one wants to die.

So, they all surrendered.

The private soldiers of the Deng family surrendered one after another. Zhang Xiu ordered that all the people of the Deng family be detained and sealed up the business.

The famous business firm of the Deng family was destroyed!

When Zhang Xiu exterminates Deng's business, she leaves the next thing to Xu Shu, who returns to the county government. A series of things, such as checking commercial banks, counting money, land titles and grain, can not be accomplished in a short time.

In the middle of the night, Xu Shu came back.

Xu Shu came to the study and bowed to Zhang Xiu. Then he said, "Lord, Deng's business has been checked."

With that, he handed in the list.

After Zhang Xiu took it, he could not help but look shocked and said: "a single Deng's firm, in Yuyang County, has accumulated more than 100000 tons of grain, as well as countless land products and land leases. It's really rich."

A hundred thousand stones is worth millions of Jin of grain.

This is a terrible number.

Zhang Xiu painstakingly went south to Xiangyang and made a toss. That is to say, she dug out 50000 stone grains from Liu Biao's hands. But now, just a business of Deng's, it's shocking to find so much grain.

Zhang Xiu sighed: "Yuanzhi, with the example of checking Deng's business, I can't help but want to check the shops of other families. This kind of investigation, without any effort, can bring huge profits. "

"Not my Lord!"

Xu Shu urged him.

If Zhang Xiu really wants to start with all the big family shops in Yuyang County, it's taboo. Just aiming at the Deng family's business, the impact is not big. If they make public anger, they will become the target of public criticism.

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "Yuanzhi, don't worry. I know what to do and what not to do. I just said it."When Xu Shu heard the speech, he was relieved.

Zhang xiudao said, "we have got the grain from Deng's firm. Next, what do you want to do?"

Xu Shu thought a little and said, "I think there are three things to do now."

"What three things?" Zhang Xiu asked.

Xu Shu replied: "first, when Deng's business is closed down, Nanyang Deng's business is likely to take action. So next, the chief official must send detailed work to inquire about Deng's every move in Nanyang. Once the Deng family has an action, they can know it immediately and make a response. "

"Second, let's benefit the people."

"The troops under the Lord's command don't need much food. From the 100000 stone grain collected by Deng's commercial bank, part of it was given to the people. Give some grain to the common people, so as to get the support of the people in Yuyang County, which will benefit all but do no harm. "

"Third, adjust prices."

"The LORD destroyed Deng's business by thunder. The rest of the business families in the city must be in a panic. The Lord ordered all shops to return to normal prices. As long as the shops return to normal market prices, they don't care about their criminal record. They just look at the present. "

"Three things in parallel are enough to stabilize the situation."

Xu Shu's eyes twinkled with brilliance. He said confidently, "the situation in Yuyang county is stable, and there is no worry about internal troubles. The Lord can fight against Gongdu and Liupi."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu nodded her approval.

Xu Shu's suggestion is to the point.

Zhang Xiu thought about it carefully, then ordered: "the first and the third can be carried out at the same time. As for opening warehouses to release grain and providing relief to the common people, this matter should not be hasty, it must be implemented. "

Xu Shu said: "please make it clear!"

Zhang Xiu said, "tomorrow morning, I will arrange for the soldiers to inform the people in the city, so that they can gather outside Deng's business at noon tomorrow, and I will announce the opening of the warehouse to release grain."

Xu Shu said: "tomorrow morning, I will arrange people to carry out the task."

Zhang Xiu nodded and said with concern: "Yuanzhi, although everything in Yuyang county is a hundred wastes to be revived, you need to start all over again, but you don't have to work too hard. Things to do, the body is also very important. If you are tired and seriously ill because of things in Yuyang County, it will not be worth the loss. "

Xu Shu was moved in his heart and said, "don't worry, my Lord. I'm not in a bad position."

"Well, pay attention."

Zhang Xiu reminded a, let Xu Shu retreat.

Zhang Xiu was also busy all day. She was a little tired, so she had an early rest.

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhang Xiu gets up early and washes her face after morning exercise. After all the work, it's almost three strokes a day. He went to the study to deal with government affairs, waiting for the arrival of noon.

At this time in the city, in the streets and alleys, soldiers everywhere beat gongs to inform the county government of its decision.

The soldiers who announced the announcement were in pairs.

One beat the gong and the other yelled.

Such a notice, though costly, is the most direct and efficient. As the soldiers preached in the city, the people in Yuyang County knew that Zhang Xiu was going to open a warehouse to release grain.

For the people, this is a great good thing.

Nanyang County has frequent wars, and the people have a very hard life. Many of the people in the city have their ups and downs and are tightening their belts. Now the government is going to open a warehouse to release grain, and they are all extremely looking forward to it.

As soon as they got the news, many people put down their business and went straight to Deng's business.

People from all directions gathered outside the granary.

Outside Deng's business, more than 5000 people gathered. Thanks to the open terrain outside Deng's business, it can accommodate countless people, otherwise the scene is easy to get out of control.

The people gathered and talked about it.

Everyone is waiting for Zhang Xiu.

They are full of expectations and hope to get more food.

Time goes by little.

Towards noon, by this time, it was already in the middle of the day.

Zhang Xiu, dressed in a white robe, boots and sword, strides forward. He came to Deng's business, stepped on the temporary high platform and stood on it overlooking the four directions. He looked around the circle of people, raised a breath, loud voice: "quiet!"

Voice spread, the front row of the people have been quiet, but also in the signal around the people are quiet.

Soon, there was silence.

All eyes, all fall on Zhang Xiu's body, eyes are full of look of expectation.

Zhang xiulang said: "folks, it was Zhang Xiu who was in charge of Yuyang County under the order of Mu Liubiao in Jingzhou. Yesterday, Deng Chen, who was going to find out about Deng's business firm, colluded with thieves and bandits to drive up prices. "

"Deng Chen's action led to the hardship of the people's life and the inability of money to buy food."

"There is no law in him."

"His mentality is insane."

"In order to return a bright future to Yuyang County, the general mobilized the army, killed Deng Chen and sealed up Deng's business."

Zhang Xiu continued: "after the seizure of Deng's business, Ben will count the grain, and found that there were 100000 stone grains in the warehouse of Deng's business. Deng Chen hoarded countless grains, but he didn't want to sell them. On the contrary, he bid up prices and increased the burden of the people. ""Such a person, you say, should be killed?"

Zhang Xiu asked.

All the people gathered around were staring at each other with indignation on their faces.

Ten thousand stone grain!

How much food is needed.

Think of weekdays, Deng Chen stingy, not willing to sell more food, and food sold to death expensive. One by one, the hearts of the people raised endless anger and hatred for Deng Chen.

"Deng Chen should be killed

In the crowd, there were people shouting.

"Damned Deng Chen!"

"Everyone in the Deng family should die. It's hard to calm people's anger if they don't kill Deng Chen. General Zhang's killing Deng Chen is to get rid of harm for the people. General Zhang is powerful. "

"General Zhang is powerful!"

"General Zhang is powerful!"

……

The crowd is excited, and the people have completely stood on Zhang Xiu's side, and all agree with Zhang Xiu's practice. For the common people, their demand is very simple, that is to be able to eat and wear warm, but Deng Chen hoarded grain to drive up prices, which is self sacrifice to the common people.

With this, Zhang Xiu eliminated the negative influence brought by the extermination of the Deng family. The people of Yuyang county will not agree to Zhang Xiu's suppression of Deng's business.

This is the will of the people!

Zhang Xiu works with the will of the people and obeys the nature and the people. It is an overwhelming trend and can not be stopped.
