Chapter 258 This is a conspiracy
The common people rushed into the military camp without explanation and started to fight against the soldiers.
Although the 500 soldiers of Su Bowen were few in number, they had all been through the battles of the Western Frontier, so it was no problem for them to deal with the unarmed common people.
But except for Song Qing who punched that man, no one else moved.
Su Bowen was strict in military management. Even in wartime, he could not take a single needle or thread from the common people, let alone fight with them.
Once, a soldier had a few words with the common people and was awarded ten military sticks.
Although it was the common people who were looking for trouble now, General Su always said that the common people were the parents of the soldiers.
No one dared to move without his words.
Seeing that they did not fight back, the common people thought that they were guilty, so they used more force. Several soldiers were besieged by dozens of people and could not even get up.
Even Su Bowen was hit several times.
Xu Li could not bear it when he saw that the commander was beaten. He gritted his teeth and said to Su Bowen: "General, we brothers are not afraid of sacrificing our lives and dying on the battlefield.
But you make us feel so aggrieved, and we brothers cannot swallow this breath!"
Su Bowen also knew that his brothers were wronged. At this time, his son had been busy and wanted everyone to stop.
But now those people regarded them as evil people who took the life-saving medicine for themselves. How could they stop the public anger?
But Su Bowen couldn't bear to see his brothers suffer like this!
He shouted, "Brothers, don't hurt the people, retreat to the barracks!"
His brothers wanted to retreat, who wanted to get involved with these unreasonable people.
But they only had a few hundred people, and there were hundreds of people coming, including the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Some pulled their legs, some pulled their arms, and some kept tearing them apart.
Unfortunately, they couldn't hurt these people, so they couldn't get away.
Seeing this, Su Bowen couldn't bear it anymore.
He pushed away the boy who was pulling him, strode to the weapon rack, pulled out the big knife on the rack, and stabbed it heavily into the ground. He
said with a sullen face: "If you don't want to die, get out of the barracks immediately. Whoever dares to hurt my brothers again, don't blame me for being rude!"
The spies of Dayin hid in the crowd and shouted: "As a general, how can you point your sword at the people of your own country?" "
As a general, I can't even protect my own soldiers. How can I bear for them to call me a general.
I, Su Bowen, keep my word. I dare to guarantee with my life that my brothers have not stolen any medicine. I also promise you that I will be responsible for the plague. But if you still want to hold my brothers, come and taste the power of my sword!" After
Su Bowen finished speaking, he stretched out his long arm and pulled the sword back into his hand.
The broadsword was so sharp that a piece of hair was cut off from a soldier who was punching and kicking a soldier.
"If you don't stop, what will fall off won't be hair anymore!"
Su Bowen's face turned ashen, and the people who saw it were terrified.
When the people saw that he was serious, they all loosened their hands, and the soldiers also retreated to the barracks.
Fighting hard didn't work, so some people started to speak softly: "General Su, we know your contribution to the Western Territory. Now is a matter of life and death. Even if ordinary people can't get medicine, you can save those children. They are the future of the Western Territory and the future of Dashuo!" The
always honest Zhuang Dali said impatiently: "I said I haven't taken any medicine. Since the plague has been rampant, we and these seriously ill patients have been trapped in this barracks, and even supplies are not available. These are all food stocks, where are the medicines!"
Xu Li sneered and said, "You were worried about being infected, so you left your sick fathers, brothers and relatives at the door and left. Now you are all crowded here, aren't you afraid of being infected?"
Xu Li's sudden words woke everyone up from a dream. What kind of place is this? This is a place for seriously ill patients. Usually they have to avoid it. Today, for the medicine that they don't know whether it is real or fake, they actually ran here.
They all showed panic on their faces. What should they do if they are infected?
But the matter of the medicine has not been concluded yet, and they don't want to give up this only chance.
They took a few steps back and then all stopped.
The spy from Dayin started to stir up trouble again: "General Su, your brothers are human beings, but we civilians are not human beings?
Your sword can drive us out today, and our illness may become more and more serious, and we may die silently, but there will always be someone who can survive and count your crimes today."
Now everyone was quiet, and his voice was very clear. Su Bowen quickly found the problem.
He raised his eyes and said, "This young man's voice does not sound like authentic Western Border dialect. Let's see if he is from your village, or Dayin is jealous of our military and civilians working together to fight the plague, and deliberately let others cause trouble for us!" After
Su Bowen said this, everyone went to see the man, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he wanted to escape.
Su Bowen gave Song Qing a look, and Song Qing glanced at his good brother Shunzi, and the two of them quietly squeezed into the crowd.
Not long after, they each dragged a civilian out of the crowd, and the man who had just righteously attacked Su Bowen was thrown in front of everyone.
Xu Li already knew what the general meant, and he shouted to the people in the crowd: "The heads of each village and village should come up and recognize whether these two are from your village. I think what happened today is the credit of these two people!"
The grievances between Dashuo and Da Yin have been going on for a long time. In the past ten years, the two countries have hardly had any communication.
Before, Da Yin always... They came to the Western Region every now and then to burn, kill and plunder. The people in the Western Region hated the Great Yin to the core. Therefore, although it was not easy to be discovered if there were one or two new faces, it would be difficult to fish in troubled waters if the village chiefs were asked to identify them.
Sure enough, after seeing them, several village chiefs shook their heads and said, "These are not from our village!"
"They are not from our village either!"
Su Bowen walked slowly towards the two people: "Since no one knows you, then where are you from?"
The two people were still very stubborn. They wanted to stir up trouble again when they were about to die: "We are from Li Village, where our village was destroyed. It was because you did not treat the people in our village in time that we all died!"
A peddler pointed at them and said, "You are lying. I go door to door in the villages and towns every day to sell things, and I have never seen you two. Although your accent is very similar to ours, there is still a difference. You are definitely not our people!"
Another person also said, "He was the first one to say that General Su and his men secretly took the drug. The guy next to him has been fanning the flames to confuse us. This is all their conspiracy!"
Su Bowen looked at the two people in front of him and said slowly, "To know whether this is a conspiracy today, I can only ask them two in person!"
