Chapter 456 Sparing His Life
Lin Qiaomei turned around and smiled at him: "You kid, don't you say a word for me?"
Cheng Liang squeezed out of the doorway, escaping from the blades of Lin Qiaomei's guards.
"I knew Sister Lin had a backup plan. I didn't need to say anything more, hehe."
Wu Sheng came to his senses from his confusion and shouted loudly.
"What are you doing? I'm the Left Guard of the Yinzhou Military Supervision Department. Who dares to be so presumptuous?"
Lin Qiaomei ignored him and gave the order directly.
"Notify everyone, surround them, and kill anyone who dares to resist."
A guard immediately turned around and ran to pass on the message.
Wu Sheng, Dai Zhixing and Liang Shuisheng were all dumbfounded, dumbfounded and at a loss.
The villagers waiting outside were very quiet when they knew Wu Shenglai was speaking for them.
Unexpectedly, not long after, countless Qingshui soldiers were seen rushing over from the side of the canal.
The Qingshui Army that rushed over was divided into two teams, surrounding the common people and Wu Sheng's 500 cavalry in the middle.
The soldiers on the outer layer drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the crowd.
The soldiers in the inner layer held spears, with the sharp tips pointing at everyone in the circle.
Lin Qiaomei climbed onto a large rock and glanced at the crowd.
"Everyone, I heard that you want me to kneel down and apologize to you. I agree. Now I will send you away first, and then I will take care of both killing and burying you."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked and started shouting in chaos.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. It was all Liang Shuisheng's fault..."
"That's right, your canal construction has nothing to do with me."
"If I don't come, they will demolish my house..."
Lin Qiaomei vaguely heard it and knew that these people were probably forced to come here.
He then waved his hand and asked several soldiers to drag the civilians in front to his side.
There are sharp spears pointing in front of the eyes, and countless bows and arrows outside, ready to be shot.
The common people and several hundred cavalrymen of the government army did not dare to move.
Lin Qiaomei looked at the common people standing in front of her with their heads bowed and their hands hanging down.
"Tell me, who forced you to come here?"
"Boss Liang, who dares not to listen?"
They lowered their heads and replied in a low voice.
"Did he force you to destroy the canal?"
An old man raised his head with a tragic look on his face.
"He forced me to fish and I had to sell to him, and he kept the price very low. He was basically robbing me."
Another young man took the risk.
"He doesn't let me farm, so I can only fish and sell to him."
Lin Qiaomei sneered: "Isn't this a bully?"
“Worse than a bully.”
She pointed at the crowd of people and said, "These are all fishermen. Can Boss Liang control them?"
"Well, we all fish for Boss Liang. Anyone who dares to disobey will have their family destroyed."
The young man said angrily.
Lin Qiaomei nodded: "So, repairing the canal has nothing to do with you?"
The old man nodded quickly: "Of course it has nothing to do with me. It would be best if I didn't fish. I could also use the water from the canal to irrigate the fields."
Another added, "Building a canal is a good thing. No one wants to use buckets to carry water for irrigation."
Lin Qiaomei turned her head and looked at Cheng Liang beside her.
"Hehe, it turns out it was this Liang Shuisheng who was causing trouble. He almost made me commit a big mistake."
A few more people heard them talking and hurried over.
"General, that Boss Liang is in cahoots with the government, you've been fooled."
Faced with the sharp spears and arrows, these people no longer cared about offending Liang Shuisheng and wanted to escape first.
Then, the two parties that were originally in confrontation became a public prosecution conference.
Many fishermen began to accuse Liang Shuisheng of bullying behavior.
Wu Sheng, Dai Zhixing and Liang Shuisheng were also knocked to the ground by Lin Qiaomei's guards, tied up with ropes and piled in the corner of the room.
When the situation outside calmed down, someone carried the three people out.
Wu Sheng was held in someone's hand and turned around to see a huge crowd of people.
His heart had long been empty and confused.
Is this how the Qingshui Army negotiates with others?
Before he could recover from his shock, he was brought to the center of the field, facing a crowd of people.
Lin Qiaomei strolled up to Wu Sheng.
"Come here, Axeman, send them on their way."
Wu Sheng woke up at this time and shouted loudly.
"Wait, wait, General Lin, if we have something to say, we can talk it over. How can you dare to use weapons without permission?"
Dai Zhixing was also anxious. The magistrate came here to mediate the conflict, so how did it turn out like this?
"General Lin, I have always upheld the principle of harmonious coexistence between the two sides and came here to persuade the villagers not to cause trouble. How could I be tied up here?"
Liang Shuisheng saw that the villagers he brought with him were all watching him being tied up like dumplings.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he cursed with gritted teeth: "You damned woman, you are lawless and cruel to the people. You will not die a good death!"
Lin Qiaomei moved closer to his face.
"Alas, one of our two families must die first, otherwise, there is no solution to this problem."
Lin Qiaomei knew that if she didn't take ruthless action, these people would not dare to speak out except against this bully.
After saying this, he stopped talking and just waved to the knife-wielding soldier standing beside him.
Seven or eight soldiers came forward, pressed the three men to the ground, opened their hair, and pulled their collars back to expose their necks.
Wu Sheng was scared at this time. These Qingshui soldiers really dared to kill him.
"Hey, General Lin, I was sent by Commander Li Jiping to maintain the smooth construction of the canal project. We are on the same side."
Before Lin Qiaomei could say anything, Liang Shuisheng, a ruthless and reckless person, started cursing again.
"You thief bitch, even if I become a ghost..."
Lin Qiaomei glared at the knifeman standing next to Liang Shuisheng and swung his knife.
The second half of Liang Shuisheng's sentence was stuck in his throat and instantly separated from his mouth.
Dai Zhixing was sprayed with blood all over his head and face. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Wu Sheng felt despair as he watched Lin Qiaomei kill people without hesitation.
It's over. I didn't expect that I would die at the hands of such an unreasonable woman.
The people standing not far away cheered loudly when they saw Liang Shuisheng's head being chopped off by a knife.
Several of Liang Shuisheng's men, who were squeezed in the crowd, were so scared that they lowered their heads and backed away.
Lin Qiaomei looked at Liang Shuisheng's headless body coldly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
And these two guys who colluded with Liang Shuisheng cannot be spared either.
The two soldiers raised their swords, pointed them at the necks of Wu Sheng and Dai Zhixing, took a deep breath and exerted force, and were about to chop them down.
Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried horse hooves and a loud shout in the distance.
"Leave people under the knife!"
According to the general psychology, the executioner would hesitate and wait when hearing such a shout.
The sharp steel knife was still held in the air, but it was frozen in place.
Lin Qiaomei turned her head, staring at the galloping war horses with cold eyes.
After Wu Sheng left, Zhang Enyi saw that his attitude was not right and had a premonition that something was wrong, so he brought his guards and rushed here overnight.
Ignoring the spears and bows surrounding them, the warhorse charged forward.
"Yinzhou Deputy Commander Zhang Enyi requests an audience with General Lin Feng."
He kept shouting before he even reined in his horse.
Lin Qiaomei knew Zhang Enyi, who was the leader of the diplomatic mission to Zhenxi at that time.
He is also the second-in-command of the Xixia Yinzhou Military Supervision Office.
Lin Qiaomei could not ignore a cadre of this rank and glanced at the soldier holding a knife.
Seeing that Lin Qiaomei didn't say anything, the two soldiers in charge of the execution gently retracted their knives.
