I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 420 The Emperor's Soldiers

Most of the people chasing him were dressed as ordinary civilians, and Wang Ze quickly understood what was going on from their curses.

It turns out that the woman who ran away was engaged, but she had an affair with the man who ran away. Today, the two of them were going to elope together, but they were caught by someone at the entrance of the village, and then they started chasing each other.
After figuring out what happened, Wang Ze was a little shaken, because they were not in the right, and the behavior of this couple was indeed against the morals.
However, Wang Ze also felt a little compassion in his heart. The clans in the inland areas were relatively powerful and more conservative. In this situation, the fate of this couple would definitely be like what the pursuers said, that they would be thrown into a pig cage.
Pig cage immersion is to put a person in a bamboo cage and then throw him into the water to drown him.

Drowning in a pig cage means that the men and women being drowned are worse than pigs and dogs, like animals. This behavior is equivalent to cursing the two people that they will not be reborn as human beings in the next life.

This is a cruel and vicious punishment, and also a form of lynching in the feudal era.

The man and woman just now were only about 16 or 17 years old, which was the best age in life, but they had to suffer such cruel punishment and lose their lives. It really made Wang Ze feel a little sad.
All the men on the Mali stood up, but their numbers were still far less than those who were chasing them. In addition, this matter was somewhat unreasonable, so the momentum of the confrontation was not high.
"Sir, please don't meddle in this matter. The country has its laws and the clan has its rules. The two of them committed adultery and eloped, bringing shame to the clan. The crime is unforgivable! Please give them some favors and don't tarnish their reputation because of this matter." The leader said to Duan Ping.

"God is merciful. These two children will not survive if they are captured by you. I can't just watch them lose their lives like this." Duan Ping's momentum remained unchanged and he spoke in a sonorous tone.

"Why are you so pedantic? What does the life or death of these two people have to do with you, an outsider? If such behavior is not punished, the moral atmosphere will be corrupted, right? We must catch them back today." The leader continued.

The people who were chasing them also started to make a commotion.

"How about this, give me these two children and I will take them away. I promise that they will never come back to this place. It will be as if they are dead." Duan Ping continued.

The villagers who were chasing after him were stunned for a moment, but then someone shouted, "This is too easy for them!"

"What good thing do you think it is for them? I will take them to a northern border town thousands of miles away, which is equivalent to exile thousands of miles away. Although they can survive, they will have to suffer the pain of exile," Duan Ping said to the crowd.

Duan Ping's words once again caused some confusion among the villagers who were chasing after him.
"No! Even if you say anything, we must take the person away today! I have said so much to you out of respect for the Royal Group. Even if this matter today ends up in the Imperial Palace, we are right. Get out of the way!" the leader shouted.

"I'm determined to get these two people! I won't let you take them away!" Duan Ping also raised his voice.

The anger of both sides flared up instantly, and the villagers who were chasing them kept approaching.
"You're not going to accept my toast! Don't blame us for being rude!"

"Let's see who dares!" Duan Ping roared, waving the long stick in his hand, "If you want to arrest someone today, you have to step over me first." "Don't think that I will be afraid of you just because you have more people. I didn't flinch when I was fighting the Mongols in the north, so how could I be afraid of a bunch of you!" Duan Ping tore off his shirt, revealing the hideous scars on his chest, and his momentum became stronger, and he was full of murderous aura.
The villagers who were chasing him looked at the scars on Duan Ping's body and were frightened by his aura. None of them dared to come forward.
"Come on! I used to be a soldier of the Great Emperor. I followed the Great Emperor to crawl out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Yingzhou. The Great Emperor personally awarded me medals. If I take another step back today, I will bring shame to the Great Emperor!" Duan Ping continued to roar with his hair and beard standing up.

Duan Ping walked forward slowly, and the strong murderous aura from his body forced the villagers to retreat again and again!

Wang Ze looked at Duan Ping and was very excited. He finally understood Duan Ping's origins.
Fan Kai also looked at Duan Ping with stars in his eyes, with a look of longing in his eyes.
"Hero! Let's talk it over! Let's talk it over!" The leading villager was also a little flustered. Duan Ping's words, "There's an emperor on the left and an emperor on the right," were too scary.

"I just told you guys clearly, but you didn't listen!" Duan Ping stopped and said, "Think carefully about what you are doing?"

"You are besieging the Marxists of the Royal Group. The Royal Group is the property of the current emperor and is personally managed by the current Prince Regent. How dare you do such a thing?" Duan Ping shouted sternly.

The villagers were speechless and their morale became even lower.

"Think carefully about where you buy the cheap salt, cheap cloth and cheap iron that you usually buy? Do you not want to buy these things at low prices in the future? Will the Royal Group still come to your village to recruit workers?" Duan Ping continued to shout.

The villagers began to waver, and Duan Ping described to them a consequence that they could not bear.
At this moment, a train from the railway company also came up and saw this scene and came to support.
This made the villagers even more shaken, and things had become hopeless.
"Sir, let's talk it over." The leading villager became more respectful.

"I'll take them away, and you can treat them as dead. I'll also treat what happened today as if it never happened." Duan Ping put forward his conditions.
Several villagers briefly discussed it, and the leading villager said, "Let's do as you say, sir. We will go back first."

After that, he led the villagers back.
Wang Ze looked at the villagers leaving, and felt even more excited. He looked at Duan Ping, and even felt a little admiration for him.
"Thank you all for coming forward today. I, Old Duan, would like to thank you!" Duan Ping said, bowing to the people around him.

Duan Ping's attitude was very helpful to the men present.
"I didn't realize you were so courageous." Duan Ping looked at Wang Ze, nodded approvingly, and then turned his gaze to Fan Kai.

"You are all good candidates! The most important quality of a soldier is courage, so when you arrive at the border town, you should strive to join the Guards," Duan Ping said with some emotion.

"Hmm," Wang Ze said without comment, and did not take it to heart.
