Chapter 158 Inquiry
When Hou Da and Chen Si were brought to Gao Jin, both of them looked in fear, especially Hou Da, who was whipped by Chen Sheng, looked even more miserable.
"The villain has met the high man."
Hou Da and Chen Si knelt naturally. They were all deserters in the army. Gao Jin was a hundred households in the Hekou Fort. The superiors and inferiority were already engraved in their bones. What's more, Gao Jin was not the useless Shangguan who had no force. Instead, they were the first-class and capable generals, which made them convinced.
"All up, tell me your origins. Remember not to lie to me, otherwise?"
"Don't worry, a villain is a fool who cheats on gods and ghosts, and he doesn't dare to deceive you!"
Hou Da hurriedly said, he was smiling on his face at this time, even if the wound hurts severely, he still gritted his teeth and stood up. Whether he and Chen Si can survive is all the way to this high-ranking master, and that Master Sheng is not able to make the decision.
"Then you talk first, A Guang, wash his face and apply some medicine."
Gao Jin looked at Chen Si, then called Chen Guang over and helped Hou Da treat the wound on his face. His face was covered in blood and his smile was too cold.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Seeing Gao Jin calling someone to apply medicine to his face, Hou hurriedly said, thinking that this Yan Luo was tyrannical, but he never thought that he was a benevolent and righteous person.
"Yes, second brother."
Chen Guang quickly took the medicine from his skin, and then took the boiled cold water from the water bag to help Hou Da clean the wound. In order to show his performance in front of Gao Jin, Hou Da pinched his thighs tightly and prevented him from crying for pain. Chen Sheng, who was on the side, saw that his distorted and ferocious face also felt respectful, thinking that this guy was a man.
"Okay, just shout it out if it hurts, no one will laugh at you."
Gao Jin glanced at Hou Da, whose facial features were almost twisted, and said coldly. However, his words made Hou Da and Chen Si feel warm. They have all been soldiers, but the Shangguans they met are all bastards. They don’t even say anything, but if there are unpleasant things, they will vent their anger and beat and scold them.
"The villain doesn't hurt, he can still bear it. Mr. Xie cares!"
"Okay, don't hold on in front of the high school."
When Hou Da heard Hou Da's voice, Chen Si couldn't help but say, even though he had a big relationship with Hou, the two of them were sharing hardships after all, and if Hou Da hadn't brought him together, he might have died under the command of this high man.
By the end of Chen Guang's medicine, Hou Da didn't say anything. Even Gao Jin couldn't help but look up to this middle-aged man with a slightly vulgar appearance.
"You can rest for a while, you continue."
Gao Jin looked at Hou Da who looked much more pleasing to the eyes after applying the medicine, and then said to Chen Si.
"Grandpa, the villain Chen Lang, the family is home, so others call me Chen Si. The villain was originally a archer from Qingshui Camp, but because of his argument with his colleagues, he hurt someone to run away."
Chen Si talked about his origin. He was from a military family in Qingshui Camp. He had two older brothers and one older sister. The two older brothers died early. He was the only child of the Chen family. He spent all his family savings, so he occupied a quota for soldiers in Qingshui Camp.
Nowadays, the army is not as good as soldiers. Even if nearly half of the soldiers in this battalion are empty, the remaining people can get most of the salary, which is much better than the official army. Chen Si was a good player when he was a child, so he finally became a small flag.
There are only people in the places where there are people. Chen Si is a person without background and will be suppressed even if he has the ability. One time after drinking, a colleague of his wife and brother-in-law made a joke about his sister whom he married. He was so angry that he beat the colleague to death on the spot, and then escaped from Qingshui Camp.
"It's just hurting people, why are you going to die in the world?"
"Your Majesty, I have always been a little arrogant. If the villain still stays, I am afraid he will kill his life."
Chen Si said with a dim expression that whenever he met a better Shangguan, he would not ruin the innocence of the Chen family for generations and would come out to be a desperate.
Gao Jin was silent. Although this battalion was stronger than the official army, it was better. However, the salary was not as cruel as the official army was deducted. As for the training, it was only a few days later. When it was time to go to war, the officers in this battalion were no different from the generals in the garrison. They were still greedy and despised. There were rare heroes.
"Do you have innocent lives on your hands?"
Wei Laizi is not a good person. Chen Si must have committed evil deeds to Wei Laizi. However, Gao Jin did not hate evil and reached the point of being black and white. As long as Chen Si did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, he was still willing to give him and Hou Da a chance.
"When Gao Ye said that, the villain had done a lot of evil things when he was under Wei Laizi, but he never killed the good people."
Wei Laizi's more than fifty desperate people were mostly bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Chen Si had his life, but he was killed by all the evildoers on this path. If it weren't for the bad gambling who was selling children and women.
Gao Jin stared at Chen Si, which made Chen Si feel furious, but Chen Si still stood up, without bowing his head, and never dodged his eyes.
"It's your turn, Hou Da."
"Grandpa, the eldest son of the little man's family, his real name is Hou Ping. His ancestors were once hereditary Qianjia, but later his family was defeated. When I came to me, the little man could only serve as the general flag in Gushan Fort..."
Hou Da and Chen Si are different. Although he is an official army, when he is in the general flag, his life is naturally much better than that of the officers and soldiers below. Moreover, he has also gotten married, but he has given birth to three daughters in a row. He did not give birth to a son until he was thirty years old. His wife also passed away after a difficult delivery.
Because he usually spoiled his son too much, his son ran into Baihu's youngest son once when he went out to play and was kicked by the servants of Baihu Mansion. When he got the news, his son was already dead. He wanted to go to Baihu Mansion to seek justice, but was persuaded by his good colleagues. It was nothing more than that his son could be reborn if he died. If he really wanted to go to Baihu Mansion, he was afraid that even his life would be taken.
"What happened later?"
Looking at Hou Ping, Gao Jin thought of himself. Hou Ping lost his son, but he lost his father. He suddenly wanted to know if Hou Ping killed the hundred households in the end.
"The villain really couldn't swallow this. After marrying his little daughter to a distance, the villain wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge, but Baihu Mansion was very cautious, so the villain could only kill Zheng Baihu's youngest son when he went out."
"After the villain killed someone, he stole the horses and left Gushan Fort. In a few years, he became a bandit and dyed innocent blood on his hands."
Gao Jinlong's sword was unsheathed, and the blade was lying on Hou Da's neck. His eyes looked straight at Hou Da's eyes, and his face looked cold.
"Grandmaster, Hou Da is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. He just can't live up to his conscience, so..."
Chen Si thought of Hou Da's usual character, but suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for Hou Da. The two were friends in distress. If Hou Da died, he didn't know what to do next. Having someone as a companion is always like being alone.
"Don't say it, let him say it himself!"
Gao Jin looked at Hou Da who seemed to be killing him and said coldly, "It's understandable that he had killed anyone, but killing innocent people indiscriminately is not enough, because such people do not regard human life as life and have no bottom line for being a human being."
"When the villain became a bandit, he killed an innocent passerby in order to accept the letter of fame. Later, as the thief broke a farm and killed the young and strong who resisted. But later, he saw that they didn't even let go of women and children, and the villain couldn't stay, so he wandered to Wei Laizi and did the business of this thug."
Hou Da faced Gao Jin's cold gaze, his throat swayed, and said these words, but he did not defend himself. "The villain is indeed stained with innocent blood. It is also the villain who deserves to kill the villain."
Although Hou Da was afraid of death, he was not so afraid after saying the words hidden in his heart for many years. It is natural to kill people and pay for their lives. The noble man in front of him was a true hero who could think of the innocent people. If he could die under the sword of a hero like Gao Da, he would be in peace with his eyes when he died.
Gao Jin took back the knife, and Hou Da's hand was stained with innocent blood. It is logical that he should have killed him, but what Hou Da said just now should not have lie to him, and the regret in his eyes cannot be false.
"Let's send your head for now, but if you dare to hurt an innocent person again in the future, Gao will definitely take the head of your neck."
The moment Gao Jin put away his knife, Hou Da's head turned blank. He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you for not killing me. The villain will never dare to do evil again in the future and hurt the innocent."
"You two will get up!"
Looking at Hou Da and Chen Si who were kneeling on the ground, Gao Jin said, although these two people had helped the evildoer, they were not the kind of vicious people after all, and could still take it for themselves. Whether it was trustworthy or not has to be observed for a long time.
"Among the rest of the people, are there those evil people who are not worth living?"
After Hou Da and Chen Si got up, Gao Jin looked at the more than 30 prisoners. He had his own bottom line and principles, and not everyone deserved another chance.
Hou Da and Chen Si couldn't help but shivered when they looked at Gao Jin's cold expression, but the two of them did not hesitate. After looking at each other, they still recognized the few companions who usually do evil.
When Gao Jin asked Hou Da and Chen Si to recognize people, he called Yang Dayan Wang Dou and the others to come. Whenever Hou Da and Chen Si said one, they would ask them to raise the person.
After visiting Shenmu County, Gao Jinjue was too closed to his news, but the news brought by Chen Sheng inspired him. Since Wei Laizi is dead, maybe he can take over Wei Laizi's power in secret and inquire and pass on the news for him, so that he will not even know that others will deal with him.
Since he planned to take down Wei Laizi's original power, Gao Jin naturally wanted to subdue this group of prisoners. However, he had his own principled bottom line, and he also knew that human nature feared power and was virtuous. If he did not gain a foothold, how could he talk about subdueing this group of so-called outlaws?
In the end, a total of six people were brought to Gao Jin. When the six people saw Hou Da and Chen Si standing behind Gao Jin, they knew that they were the two traitors who were foolish. However, Gao Yanluo did not dare to curse, but instead looked at the Lord Yanluo carefully, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"A Sheng, let the rest come over. We have always been open and upright in our actions. Even if we kill them, we must call them a wise ghost!"
