Steel Dynasty - Chapter 158

[Chapter 158 Gunshot]

“Your bones are quite strong, but I, Lu Fei, like to break people with strong bones.”

Liu Chuang’s arrogant attitude made Lu Fei furious.

Lu Fei knew Liu Chuang’s reputation very well. Although the Liu family was not as powerful as the Wang family and other wealthy families in Qingzhou, the Liu family’s reputation was louder than the other four families.

Rumor has it that the ancestors of the Liu family were not clean, and were robbers who made a living by robbing. Later, they gathered some money to buy land here, and the manor gradually became the so-called wealthy family today.

But even so, the Liu family is still very gangster, often bullying the weak, and the people nearby complain endlessly.

What’s more, because of this thief today, he also lost his precious tiger skin to Xiao Ming, which made him even more angry with Liu Chuang.

Ever since Xiao Ming suddenly started to encircle and suppress the wealthy clans, Liu Chuang had led many of the escaped wealthy clans into banditry. During this period, he had done a lot of killing and stealing. Now that he was caught by Xiao Ming, he could no longer survive.

Because of this, he was so determined that he showed a fearless attitude. Even if he died, he would set an example for other wealthy families and encourage other wealthy families to continue to cause chaos.

Seeing Lu Fei rolling up his sleeves and about to be beaten, Xiao Ming stopped him and said, “Wait a minute, this way of death is really cheap for him. Since Liu Yuanwai is so arrogant and righteous, why should I give him this?” He prepared a decent way to die. “

After encircling and suppressing the wealthy clans, Xiao Ming has encountered many wealthy clans who are not afraid of death, which is a bit surprising to Xiao Ming.

But if he thought about it carefully, he would understand.

Now he and the wealthy family are at odds with each other. Either you die or I die. To a greater extent, this involves the survival of the wealthy family. These wealthy families will naturally defend their interests with death.

Especially over the past millennium, the noble families have controlled the government, claiming to be orthodox, and constantly consolidating the power of the wealthy families.

What Xiao Ming is doing now is tantamount to going against the will of heaven in the eyes of the wealthy clan. Relatively speaking, Xiao Ming is extremely vicious in the eyes of the wealthy clan.

After thinking about this, Xiao Ming smiled bitterly. The difficult road ahead may have just begun.

In the hearts of the wealthy people of Dayu, he was basically the first to be eliminated as the heir to the throne, because a pig would definitely not let a pig butcher be its leader.

From now on, he will probably have to face all kinds of difficulties and life-and-death traps from the wealthy families of Great Chongqing.

However, he already has a way to deal with it in his mind. To deal with a solidified class, cultivating a new class to fight is the most effective way.

“Bah, I don’t want any decent way to die. It’s extremely hypocritical. Just wait, Xiao Ming. The wealthy families in the six states will not give up, and the wealthy families in the world will not give up either. Just wait for the world to attack. Come on.”

Liu Chuang yelled.

“Bastard, I will cut out the tongue of you bitch slave right now.” Lu Fei was furious.

Xiao Ming looked calm and normal. For him, if he did not reform, he would die. There was still a glimmer of hope for reform and it would develop in an orderly manner. No matter how talented he was, he would sooner or later fall victim to the competition for the throne.

The last assassination had already sounded the alarm for him. If there was no wealthy family responsible for it, he would not believe it even if they were killed. However, it is now impossible to find out which wealthy family cooperated.

But he kept an eye on this matter.

Looking at the furious Li Chuang, Xiao Ming said calmly: “Rejecting without even seeing how he will die will be a waste of my efforts. You thieves all have their hands stained with the blood of innocent people. I The king should chop your heads off ten thousand times.”

Then he turned to Chen Qi and said, “How many cannon shells are there?”

“His Majesty, there are still thirty-two,” Chen Qi said.

Xiao Ming nodded and sneered: “Then let Liu Yuanwai, who is not afraid of death, learn what artillery execution is before he dies.”

The punishment of artillery execution began in the Mughal Empire in ancient India, which was founded by Mongolian descendants. , it is said that this torture was specially used to deal with rebels, and the effect was shocking. In modern times, it was taken to the extreme by a certain head of state.

Suddenly it occurred to me that this method was not because Xiao Ming had the tendency to become a tyrant, but because he wanted to use this deterrent effect to get Liu Chuang to tell him where the gunpowder came from?

Because Liu Chuang in his current state would not be defeated by a psychological person, even if he was tortured, he might not say anything.

He would never look down on the ancients, because narrow-minded thinking was prevalent in ancient times, and there were still hard bones. Instead of using criminal methods such as Lingchi, it would be better to use this clean method.

“Artillery!”

Combined with Xiao Ming’s inquiry about the number of artillery shells, Lu Fei suddenly realized something, and he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his back.

Luo Xin was the same, with a strange look on his face.

On the other hand, Niu Ben looked as usual. In his opinion, this kind of punishment was quite pleasant. To deal with the rebels, there was a room full of criminal tools in the dungeon of Dayu State.

Liu Chuang naturally didn’t understand what artillery execution was, but when he and the remaining bandits were escorted in front of the weapons used to attack the city, his expression changed.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army tied up all the remaining bandits and stood in rows under the wall of Wubao.

At the same time, the man dressed as a craftsman began to operate the strange thing, and the black muzzle was pointed at his men.

Xiao Ming noticed Liu Chuang’s expression and asked, “Where did the gunpowder that blew up the city wall come from?”

“Hey, I don’t know!” Liu Chuang said coldly.

Xiao Ming knew this would be the result, so he stopped asking and stood behind the artillery with Niu Ben and others.

Lu Fei lined up all the gangsters under the city wall, turned back and said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness, let’s start from the first one. This man’s name is Liu Wei, and he is Liu Chuang’s most capable servant. This man is extremely vicious, and his men No less than thirty lives were lost, and the man who once took possession of other people’s wives and daughters also poisoned her and threw the infant boy to death.”

Although Luo Xin was born into a powerful family, he was also an enemy who hated evil. Otherwise, he would not have always been at odds with Xiao Ming. Hearing this, he said angrily: “Such a person should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. This is simply an advantage for him.”

“Shut up, Your Highness has his own agenda, talk too much!” Niu Ben said, he knew Xiao Ming’s thoughts very well.

Nodding slowly, Xiao Ming turned to Chen Qi, “Let’s get started.”

Lu Fei’s words just now made Chen Qi furious. He adjusted the angle of the artillery. This time, the position of the artillery was pulled to within 60 meters. This makes it easier to hit.

Liu Chuang was escorted to the muzzle of the artillery at this time, just to mess up his mind.

When everything was ready, Chen Qi lit the match.

“Boom!” There was a loud noise, and there was a flash of fire and lightning. The cannonball shot straight towards the city wall. With a “boom”, the cannonball hit the city wall hard. A half-meter hole appeared on the city wall, only half a meter away from Liu Wei. .

The shell did not hit, but Liu Wei fell to the ground softly.

Liu Chuang, who was standing at the muzzle of the gun, swayed, his ears buzzed, and his face was as pale as paper.
