: Two levels of demotion

Someone stepped forward to pick up Murong Yanchao's head, put it in a wooden box, and sent it to Dong Zunhui. Dong Zunhui sighed softly and ordered someone to make it a nitrogen later and send it to Guo Wei's tent. As for Murong Yanchao's corpse, Dong Zunhui was unwilling to let people trash it arbitrarily. After all, Murong Yanchao is also considered a hero for life. Anyway, there is still some wood in the Zhenxing Temple courtyard, so Dong Zunhui ordered people to hurriedly create a coffin to converge Murong Yanchao's corpse into it.

As soon as Murong Yanchao died, all the dead soldiers under his command were stunned. Many of them threw down their weapons in despair and surrendered. But some people sighed and committed suicide to the master, and some even rushed up with a roar. Then, they were beheaded by Dong Zunhui's troops one by one.

Many people were not dead for a moment, tossing and turning on the ground, crying and screaming. Ma Dehai was just injured and was very cruel. He stepped forward with a spear and shot and crutched the ground, and took people to finish the knife on these people one by one.

Dong Zunhui sighed and did not stop here for too long. Then he led people to the backyard. He saw that the gate of the backyard was wide open, and an old Taoist priest was fleeing under the escort of two guards.

Before Dong Zunhui could speak, Zhang Yi slapped the arrow and shot three arrows in a row, shooting through the three men's calves. The Taoist screamed and shouted loudly: "Kill me quickly, kill me quickly!"

It turned out that this Taoist priest had already agreed with these two guards that once the enemy arrived, it would be fine if everyone could escape; if they could not escape, they must kill themselves! He has enjoyed wealth and honor for many years and will definitely not be able to stand torture. Instead of being able to endure the torture and betray Murong Yanchao's family, it would be better to die here. This is a complete mercy of Murong Yanchao's kindness to support him!

The Taoist priest urged several times, and the two guards rose up to their swords and killed the Taoist priest to the ground. The two roared and committed suicide.

Dong Zunhui sighed: "These two heroes, please keep their bodies closed and bury them well! As for this cult Taoist priest who provoked Murong Yanchao's relationship with the court, Your Majesty has already made an order to cut him into pieces. Since he died here, it is also a relief! Send his body to the imperial camp and let Your Majesty vent his anger!"

At this time, there was no one else in the backyard, so Dong Zunhui ordered his soldiers to search the palace and room. Soon after, they found a lot of money. However, the soldiers did not hide their money like the soldiers of other troops, but handed over all the gold, silver and jewelry. Anyway, they would be rewarded with merits in the future.

Just when the joy was full of joy, Dong Zunhui suddenly heard a low crying sound, like a child crying loudly after being woken up, but his mouth was covered by an adult. Dong Zunhui thought it was his illusion, and then he heard a low cry again. Many soldiers also heard a strange sound, and all stopped, staring at the near the only possible well platform in the yard where people could be hidden. (, watch the latest update of this book)

Dong Zunhui coughed and said loudly: "Everyone, go find money and property, what are you doing here stupidly?!"

The soldiers quickly scattered, and Liu Qingyi stepped forward and whispered: "General, too many people have heard the movements of children just now. If they are reported by the villain who forgot his righteousness, the general will cause great trouble! Murong Yanchao is a crime of rebellion, which is a disaster to his family. The crime is due. Even though the general is kind and righteous, he should not cause trouble again!"

Dong Zunhui sighed, "Murong Yanchao is also a hero. Since he has given his head to me, how can I not take care of his family? If I don't know, it would be fine, but now I know that they are hiding in the well, how can I pull them out and ask for me? Gannan (Liu Qingyi's word), you can find an opportunity to protect them and send them out of the city in the future, so that they can have food and clothing!"

Liu Qingyi was obeying the order, but when he lowered his head, he had a flash of cold light. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are important, but if it involves the safety of the general, I, Liu Qingyi, would be willing to be the general's knife and eliminate all these hidden dangers for him.

Dong Zunhui did not see it, but just urged the soldiers to search the room. Soon after, several cellars were found, filled with gold, silver and jewelry. Dong Zunhui immediately ordered someone to count them and announced to everyone: 30% of them were handed over to the court, 30% of them were given to the public service of the troops, and the remaining 40% of the money was distributed according to the heads.

Everyone was very excited. If they secretly greed for some money, they would always feel a little uneasy, not to mention that they would not dare to spend money in the army. Now that the general has given the order, he will definitely order someone to do so, and everyone’s rewards are indispensable!

At this time, more and more imperial soldiers rushed into Yanzhou, and there were constant crying in Yanzhou City. The gentry and powerful men had been plundered by Murong Yanchao, but now they were robbed by riots. They were full of bitterness and tears in their eyes. But what else can you do? Who will make everyone have a bad life?

At the beginning, the imperial court's troops were still somewhat restrained, and they only robbed money and did not kill people. However, the big families in the city had been searched one by one by Murong Yanchao. The money they earned was either piled up in the warehouse of the Jieduan's mansion or secretly presented to the Zhenxing Temple. All the big families in the city were so poor that they were so poor that there was no more money?!

The soldiers couldn't grab the money, so they felt angry and could only grab some valuable furniture, outfits, clothes, and fabrics. During this period, they would touch those pretty little ladies and touch them all over the place.

The generals were so happy that they did not stop them, and the soldiers became more presumptuous. They teased good women and raped the yellow girl, and were very busy. Dong Zunhui's troops knew that they could make a lot of money because they knew that they could make a lot of money and were not interested in robbery. As for rape and teasing, who dared to violate Dong Zunhui's military orders, that was the crime of beheading!

Seeing the city becoming more and more chaotic, the street of Zhenxing Temple was like a paradise, without any shouts of killing. All the residents in the city smeared their wives' faces, and did not care about the property at home, so they carried their children to the vicinity of Zhenxing Temple.

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Dong Zunhui sighed and ordered soldiers to set up checkpoints at both ends of the streets to strictly screen them. As long as the elderly, weak, women and children are placed in the temple, they are not allowed to be bullied; as for those young and strong men, they must be removed from their weapons, monitored, and beware of chaos.

With the efforts of Dong Zunhui and others, order was finally restored here. Because Dong Zunhui is famous and has served as an official position not long ago, the Zhou Dynasty tribes in the city did not dare to come forward to harass him, and finally they were safe. However, in this way, Dong Zunhui also accidentally offended the generals of the various divisions entering the city. Everyone was robbing, but you pretended to be a paranormal to disgust who would disgust? What's more, I heard that the great achievements of killing Murong Yanchao were also gained by your Dong Zunhui. You are both fame and fortune!

Dong Zunhui has heard of everyone's criticism, but he has no choice. If he lets him rob the people against his will, he will be really unwilling to do so. But if this continues, rumors will destroy the bones, which will really ruin people!

And there is no need to find any trouble, so I walked up to the door by myself. Hanlin scholar Dou Yi quietly ran to Zhenxing Temple and saluted Dong Zunhui and said, "General Dong, hurry up and save these civil and military officials in the city!"

Dong Zunhui was very surprised, and Dou Yi said to Dong Zunhui: "Your Majesty has an order. After entering the city, you can rob and rob the city. Even if you massacre the city, you will not be investigated. However, as long as the people donate money, the soldiers are basically embarrassed to take action. However, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the officials of Yanzhou who are abducted by the rebels, and is ready to kill them all and hold their families accountable. Now Your Majesty can't listen to anyone's persuasion. I hope that the Lord can plead for everyone. This is hundreds of lives!"

Dong Zunhui smiled bitterly and said, "How could I have such a big face? Besides, since these officials have defected to Murong Yanchao, they should be conscious of being pursued by the court!"

Dou Yi continued to persuade: "General, you just saved Your Majesty's life not long ago, and you are your Majesty's beloved disciple. Now, inside and outside Yanzhou City, you are the only one who is qualified to advise Your Majesty. Some of these officials are greedy for the glory and wealth promised by Murong's thief, but some are forced to rebel to save their lives! If all these people are killed, it would be unfair!"

Dong Zunhui was a little hesitant, but Dou Yi struck while the iron was hot and persuaded him repeatedly. So Dong Zunhui followed Dou Yi and went to the imperial camp to give advice. Dong Zunhui left Zhenxing Temple, and Feng Dao sent someone to deliver the letter: Don't stand up. Unfortunately, Dong Zunhui did not receive this advice and still came to the imperial camp.

Just before Dong Zunhui entered the camp, someone came to Guo Wei's tent and told him: "Your Majesty, Dong Zunhui secretly protected Murong Yanchao's wife and daughter, and restrained Murong Yanchao's body, without any concern about His Majesty's order to kill the entire Murong thief's family. His intentions are ulterior motives! Moreover, after Dong Zunhui entered the city, he rescued the people and isolated the troops. His intentions are punished! Everyone has a lot of opinions about him, and he thinks that he steals the king's authority to pardon the people, and his intentions are punished!"

Guo Wei nodded slightly. Benevolence and righteousness are the patent of the superiors. How could it be implemented by Dong Zunhui alone? Doesn’t it highlight my harsh and ruthlessness? What’s more, Murong Yanchao’s intention to kill the monarch is not allowed to be punished. If someone does not punish severely, it will cause more disasters in the future! However, Dong Zunhui is loyal to me and has saved me from danger many times. If he is punished, he will be heartbroken and righteous!

Guo Wei was pondering, someone reported to Dong Zunhui, Dou Yi asked for a meeting, and the informant left quickly, and Guo Wei immediately summoned them.

After Dong Zunhui and Dou Yi entered the tent, they kowtowed and worshiped, and then made a request for pardon for civil and military officials.

Guo Wei was a little unhappy and remembered the words of the whistleblower just now. But Dou Yi said: "The officials are all coerced people and have to rebel. If they can be pardoned by Your Majesty, the officials will not only remember Dong Zunhui's plea, but also remember His Majesty's pardon grace!"

Guo Wei's face changed slightly, and Dong Zunhui was also shocked. Isn't Dou Yi harming me when he said this?

Dou Yi seemed to be unaware and persuaded him repeatedly. Only then did Dong Zunhui remember that Dou Yi's father Dou Yujun had served as the magistrate of the Chanzhou branch, and he had offended him there when he quelled the Chanzhou rebellion!

Guo Wei coughed lightly and said to Dou Yi: "What I said makes sense. I immediately issued an order: pardon the thief officials and let them confess their sins and repent. As for Dong Zunhui, you are a general, and you have too many people involved! And where is Murong Yanchao's wife and daughter now? Why haven't you reported to me?! It seems that General Xuanwei (from the fourth rank) has a too leisurely position, so you should continue to serve as General Dingyuan (from the fourth rank)!"

After being demoted by Guo Wei by two levels, Dong Zunhui did not dare to say much and kowtowed and apologized. Looking at Dong Zunhui, Guo Wei remembered the incident of his rescued by him a few days ago. He was always a little guilty, so he said to Dong Zunhui: "I will return to the capital in a few days and prepare for a trip to Qufu. You can lead the troops in our headquarters first and make arrangements in advance!"

Dong Zunhui responded quickly and retreated in disgrace.
