Chapter 164 How dare you talk about him?
Wei Ling waved his hand, and He Chunlin clapped his hands quickly. Several soldiers from the Black Tiger Guard came in and detained these people one by one.
"Wang Zequn, you betrayed your brothers, you shall not die a hapless death!" Han Weiping shouted as he was carried away.
Wei Ling had already stood up, but after hearing what Han Weiping said, he took two steps over, raised his foot and kicked Han Weiping in the back.
"Aren't you betraying your brothers?" Wei Ling's eyes were cold. "You used the future and lives of so many brothers as stepping stones for your own selfish desires. Do you think you are worthy of the brothers in the Black Tiger Army?"
"Wei Ling! You are out of date!" Han Weiping was kicked and fell to the ground. Although he was untied from the pillar, his hands were still tied. He slowly got up from the ground, turned around and looked at Wei Ling, sneering, "Back then, you led people to revolt under the banner of killing the dog officials. Was it really for the people of Mangcheng? Don't you have any selfish motives? Don't you want to pull together a team so that you can have the capital to fight back to the capital and avenge your family? Don't make your words so high-sounding. Who do you think you are? I am doing this for my own selfish desires. Don't you have any selfish motives at all!"
After he said this, the few people who were still upset about not being able to snatch Wang Zequn away also looked at Wei Ling.
They knew they had lost their chance, and with hatred and resentment in their hearts, they sneered, "That's right! What good are you!"
"Yes, you led everyone to revolt for your own sake, didn't you?"
"You did something wrong and instead of looking for the reason in your own body, you stand here and blame others?" Before Wei Ling could say anything, a cold female voice came from the end of the corridor.
Everyone was startled and turned to look in the direction where the sound came from.
Then, in that narrow and dim corridor, a woman in a dark red cotton cloak walked out. She walked quickly, as if bringing a gust of wind.
She has a beautiful face, with slightly raised eyebrows, and she has a heroic and capable temperament, which adds a bit of vitality to her.
She was carrying a food box in her hand, and she put it on the table after she came over. "Your food and medicine!" She said to Wei Ling, "I heard from Doctor Zhou that you had a stomachache again today! You sent someone to ask him to get medicine, but he happened to be on a house call, so he gave me the task of making the medicine. So I came. I guess you were too busy and didn't have any food, so I made some food and sent it over as well. Eat it while it's hot! Don't wait until it gets cold."
Without waiting for Wei Ling to ask, Su Jixiang told him the purpose of his visit.
Wei Ling...
"Madam's tone is so fierce." He immediately softened his voice and smiled at Su Jixiang.
"I'm not fierce at all!" Su Jixiang walked up to Wei Ling and pulled him aside. "You eat and take medicine first. It's just a matter of talking nonsense. I'll do it!"
"Okay!" Wei Ling smiled. He didn't understand what "talking nonsense" meant, but when he thought about it, it should mean quarreling.
He simply stepped aside and went straight to open the food box that Su Jixiang brought.
After the couple said this, the five people felt as if they were completely ignored!
"Bitch! It was you who put drugs in the wine!" Han Weiping couldn't help but curse when he saw Su Jixiang coming.
Wei Ling had just taken out his medicine, and after hearing what Han Weiping said, he quickly drew the sword from the waist of He Chunlin who was standing beside him, and pressed the sword on the table with a bang. "Speak properly! I think you don't want your tongue anymore!" Wei Ling warned.
If Han Weiping's tongue had not been useful, he would have cut it off with a knife! Just because he dared to scold Su Jixiang, he could forget about having this man's tongue!
"I don't stink! You're the one who stinks." Su Jixiang was not angry either, and said with a smile, "I didn't put any drugs in my wine, I just added some water!"
Although Han Weiping was angry, he was intimidated by Wei Ling and did not dare to insult Su Jixiang again. The entire Black Tiger Army knew that their general was seriously injured because of this woman.
"You are incompetent, so don't blame others." Su Jixiang said with a smile, and her smile disappeared immediately after she finished speaking. "I just heard you say that the general was also doing it for his own selfishness? Did he enrich himself or drag others down for his own selfishness? When he led his men out of the mine in Mangcheng, didn't he save the hard laborers in the mine from fire and water and life and death? He killed the dog officials in Mangcheng, didn't he remove the shackles from the people of Mangcheng? Didn't he reduce the taxes of the entire Mangcheng, so that Mangcheng could recuperate and the people's livelihood could be quickly restored. What was Mangcheng like before, and what is it like now? Ask yourselves, touch your conscience, if the general hadn't led those people to revolt, what would you guys be doing now?"
After Su Jixiang finished speaking, he sneered at Han Weiping and said, "I have read your information. You used to be a bamboo weaving craftsman, but your sister was accidentally spotted by the governor of Mangcheng and was forcibly taken back. If you could let your sister be a concubine, you would be the brother-in-law of the governor of Mangcheng. However, the governor of Mangcheng did not treat your sister as a human being at all. He toyed with her and then threw her to his personal guards. Your sister was defiled by many people and finally jumped into the river to die. You went to complain but were beaten half to death and thrown into the mining area."
She looked at Wang Zequn again, "Your family opened a small shop, but the incense sold in your shop was of too good a quality. So in order to get your family's formula, the magistrate of Mangcheng County falsely accused the incense powder bought from your family of being poisonous, confiscated your shop, and threw your father into prison. In order to save your father, you had no choice but to give the formula of your family's incense powder and the money to the original magistrate of Mangcheng County, but your father died of his injuries after being released. Your mother also fell ill because of this, and your family fell into poverty from then on. You lost both the money and the formula, and you could only work as a laborer for others to make money!"
"As for the three of you, I don't need to say anything." Su Jixiang said, "When did the general ever treat you badly? He wanted revenge, but he didn't ask you to go with him. Didn't you all choose to stay behind? How dare you say that to him?"
After Su Jixiang's words, these people all lowered their heads.
Indeed, when Wei Ling led the Black Tiger Army to leave Mang City, he gave them the right to choose. Those who were willing to follow him could follow, and those who were unwilling could stay in Mang City... and they were the ones who chose to stay.
