Volume 10 Chapter 189
Tang Yin asked in a low voice: "Qiu Zhen, do you have to kill the Song family?"
"Huh?" Qiu Zhen wondered if he had heard wrongly, or if the king was deliberately joking with him for asking such a question. Read the full text. He frowned and said: "Of course, to assassinate the king, of course we must kill the nine tribes!"
"But..." Tang Yin asked: "Have you not always warned me to treat Mo people with benevolent policies? Last time I just killed one person, but in the end I had to be punished and apologized. Now you want me to punish you again." Kill the Song family? "
Qiu Zhenzhen said: "Benevolent government is just a means for the king to rule Mo people. It is just a pretense to ask the king to apologize. What's more, that thing cannot be compared with this one. Killing innocent people indiscriminately is guilty. It is a law. It is a crime to assassinate the king. It is also a law. The law cannot be broken at any time. "
Although Qiu Zhen is usually gentle and harmless, he is so rational that he almost loses his humanity. Everything he did was based on Feng Guo and Tang Yin. He asked Tang Yin to implement benevolent policies towards the Mo people because doing so was beneficial to Feng Guo and Tang Yin. If killing all the Mo people could benefit Feng Guo, The country is more beneficial to Tang Yin, and he will do so without hesitation. In his eyes, apart from the country and the monarch, there was never room for anything else.
Even Tang Yin couldn't do this with such determination. Tang Yin sighed secretly and said quietly: "Actually, Song Ying is not the only one who wants to kill me?"
"Because of this, the king should kill him as a warning to others!" Qiu Zhen said: "If the king has benevolent thoughts today and lets the Song family go, tomorrow, everyone will follow suit, and assassinations will happen one after another. How can the king do it because of this? "Xiǎo lost a lot?"
Tang Yin nodded at first, but then quickly shook his head, indicating that he did not agree with Qiu Zhen's statement.
He didn't think that killing the Song family today would stop Mo people from hating him and assassinating him. Since it didn't work, why would he do it? Instead of making Mo Ren hate him even more, it would be better to make Mo Ren appreciate him once!
"Apart from killing one person to serve as a warning to others, is there no other way?" Tang Yin asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qiu Zhen shrugged and said, "There is nothing we can do about it."
"But I don't want to do that." Tang Yin smiled roguely and said, "You are my chief think tank. I believe that you will definitely have a way to solve this matter, not only without bloodshed, but also successfully."
After finishing speaking, Tang Yin stood up, stretched, and said to the people below: "I am tired, let's go and rest first!" Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped out.
When he walked past Song Ying, he stopped, looked down at her, and said, "As you wish, the person who ordered you ran away."
Seeing Song Ying let out a sigh of relief, he sneered: "You think you are very smart and brave, and have done things that others dare not do? In fact, you are just a fool, a fool who is willing to be used by others, and let yourself and your whole family You are trapped in a desperate situation while the person taking advantage of you is content in a safe place and enjoys the benefits!”
With a snort, Tang Yin stopped staying and walked slowly over with his hands behind his back.
"You're talking nonsense..." After Tang Yin had walked out of the hall, Song Ying suddenly came back to her senses, stood up and shouted back. But when she saw the servants and maids kneeling behind her, her heart trembled. Yes, with what she did, not only would she die, but her parents would die, as well as all the servants and maids in the house. No one can survive. Thinking of this, her tears flowed down again.
The conversation between Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen was so soft that people far away could not hear it, but Ling Shuang, who was sitting next to Tang Yin, could hear it clearly.
Seeing that Tang Yin was gone, she immediately chased him out and found Tang Yin outside. She ran forward and looked at him with puzzled eyebrows.
"What? Did you suddenly realize that your husband is very handsome?" Tang Yin asked half-jokingly without turning his head.
Lingshuang rolled her eyes. She wanted to make a sarcastic comment about the self-righteous Tang Yin, but she calmed down and took a closer look. Tang Yin did indeed look handsome.
She said: "I want to see why you suddenly changed your character. You who have always been ruthless can be kind and merciless."
Have you become soft-hearted? Tang Yin secretly shook his head. He knew it wasn't the case. Anyone who knew thousands of years of history knew that Qiu Zhen's method of killing to stop killing didn't work at all. It would only make things worse and worse, and in the end it became a complete mess. Out of control. But how can I argue with Qiu Zhen? Tell him that he is not from this world? Qiu Zhen was able to think that he was crazy. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said nothing.
Lingshuang rolled her eyes, an idea flashed in her mind, and she suddenly said: "I know, you must like the little sister of the Song family, so you can't bear to kill her! Speaking of which, the little sister of the Song family is really pretty. , I heard that she was still disheveled when she came out of your room..."
Hearing her whispering in his ear, Tang Yin almost became angry. He suddenly stopped, met Lingshuang's sneaky eyes, and said, "It seems that you have suddenly become very interested in my affairs."
Lingshuang was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "Of course, you are my husband, of course I am curious about what kind of woman you like, so that I can please you in the future!"
"You are so thoughtful." Tang Yin's eyes softened, and before Ling Shuang could react, he raised his hand and stroked her cheek, saying softly: "Have I ever told you before that I hate people who say one thing and mean another, and I hate people who say one thing and mean another and are also sharp-tongued, especially women!" After saying that, his hand that was originally stroking suddenly pinched Ling Shuang's face a little harder, and then turned and walked away with a big laugh.
Tang Yin was pinching her? Looking at Tang Yin's back, Ling Shuang's eyes widened in disbelief. From childhood to adulthood, no one dared to hit her, and Tang Yin dared to pinch her?
At this time, Xu Wenfeng ran quickly from behind, first glared at Tang Yin who had walked away, and then asked with concern: "Shuang'er, what did Tang Yin do to you?"
"No... nothing." Ling Shuang came back to her senses, looked at Xu Wenfeng who was nervous, and shook her head with a smile at him.
"Really? Shuang'er, if Tang Yin dares to disrespect you, I will go to him to settle the account!" Xu Wenfeng said with gritted teeth.
Lingshuang frowned, looked around subconsciously, and said in a deep voice: "General Xu, we are now in the Feng Army, beside the King of Feng, and there are countless ears and eyes around. You call the King of Feng and my name directly. Once it reaches the King of Feng's ears, this alone can punish you for the crime of disrespect. Do you know?"
It is rare to see Lingshuang angry with him. Xu Wenfeng was stunned. After a long time, he took two steps back with a complicated expression, bowed and saluted, saying: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong!"
Lingshuang sighed secretly, and her eyes gradually turned into scrutiny when she looked at Xu Wenfeng. Xu Wenfeng and Tang Yin are of similar age, but their ways of dealing with the world are too different. Compared with the calm Tang Yin, Xu Wenfeng seems too impatient and too impulsive. In the past, she admired Xu Wenfeng's personality and enjoyed the courage and courage of someone who dared to be an enemy of the world for her, but now, she no longer thinks so. In the face of a big situation that she cannot control, impulse often represents stupidity, and courage often represents self-destruction.
Of course, she also understood that Xu Wenfeng and Tang Yin had different identities, and it was too unfair to compare them.
Her expression eased and she said softly, "Let's go back!" As she said that, she wanted to pull Xu Wenfeng's hand, but her soft hand slightly raised it and finally fell back.
Under the eyes of Feng Jun, she had to avoid being seen. This was her explanation for her action.
Regarding Song Ying's assassination, Tang Yin pushed the trouble to Qiu Zhen and asked Qiu Zhen to find a way to solve it, but Qiu Zhen couldn't think of any other way except to prosecute. In the end, Guo Jue gave him an idea that Song Ying could be betrothed to a minister or a meritorious general in the court, either as a wife or a concubine. In short, it was reasonable for the king to show mercy and reward the guilty woman to the ministers. It would not violate the law and make the court officials and the people grateful for the king's grace.
Although Guo Jue's idea was a bit absurd, there was really no better way. Qiu Zhen thought about it seriously and thought it was feasible. He then reported it to Tang Yin and asked Tang Yin to grant a marriage.
The ministers in the Feng Kingdom all had wives and concubines. Tang Yin would not think of them when granting marriages. The ones who really lacked wives and concubines were the generals who followed him in the battles. He planned to decide who to give Song Ying to when he was rewarding merits after the Battle of Sishui.
Song Ying hated Feng Ren, but she wanted to marry Feng Ren. However, compared with the execution of all the old men in the family, this was great news.
The Song family felt like they were reborn after death. Even the people in the town looked at Tang Yin and Feng Jun differently. Although they didn't like them, they at least thought that Feng Jun was not as cruel and barbaric as rumored.
The battle reports of the direct army in the front were still sent back to Tang Yin from time to time. There were no surprises. The reports sent back were basically good news of victory and annihilation of the enemy. What made Tang Yin happy the most was that Wu Ying led 20,000 soldiers to capture Peicheng in one fell swoop, and captured the second city for the Feng Army in Sishui.
After learning that Peicheng had been captured, Tang Yin could not stay in Guangping Town for a moment, and immediately set off and rushed towards Peicheng.
What surprised him was that when he left Guangping Town, there were actually people from the Mo Kingdom who came out to see him off. Even if there were only a few people, less than a hundred people, it was enough to make Tang Yin feel deeply relieved.
However, he still had a knot in his heart. Who was the ranger who instructed Song Ying? Was it just him, or was there an organization behind him?
Sishui was not the territory of Feng Country after all. It was very difficult for Sky Eye and Ground Network to find out the news of this ranger in Sishui, and it would not be clear in a day or two.
