Chapter 1472
"Convicted, guilty, the villain is convicted, Your Highness the Third Prince, please be merciful, we have nothing to do, Lieutenant Sun is the boss of the villains, and the villains have no choice!"
Kneeling by the city gate, an articulate sergeant hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, begging the third prince for mercy.
They knew very well that the fate of themselves and others was completely in the hands of the third prince, not to mention the thousands of troops under the command of the third prince, but they couldn't deal with Zhao Dahu alone.
And it seems that the man who attacked the city before was just an ordinary member of the army, and he should not be the only one who is as brave as him.
From the point of view of force confrontation, it is impossible at all.
The only hope is that the third prince can show kindness and spare their lives.
After the man pleaded for mercy, the defenders of Linwen County all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the third prince, and still anxiously waiting for the third prince's decision.
Just as they were praying in their hearts, they heard a voice suddenly.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, if it is true that you were appointed by your superiors as these people said, then you can't completely blame them. Zhao Dahu begs for them and asks the Third Prince for mercy, so don't punish them too severely!"
Hearing this voice, the soldiers kneeling on the ground were all overjoyed. They could tell that the person who spoke was the big man who attacked the city wall alone just now.
Unexpectedly, this person is so kind and can intercede for them in front of the third prince.
"Third Prince, Ming Jian, please be merciful!"
Zhao Dahu pleaded for mercy, and the soldiers guarding the city finally found a step, and began to echo their voices to continue pleading with the third prince.
This might really be the moment of life and death, their life and death depended entirely on the third prince's thought, as soon as the third prince let go, they would live, and as soon as the third prince shook hands, they might die, with no chance of life anymore.
However, after they all finished speaking, the third prince remained silent.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, finally, the third prince spoke again.
"Zhao Dahu, this Commander is not someone who murdered, but these people actually blocked this Commander from entering the city, and they met with swordsmen. It is clear that they are either from the First Prince's faction or the Second Prince's faction. If these people are left behind, they will have another heart, and you will take responsibility." ?"
The sergeants kneeling on the ground guarding the city naturally knew that the county lieutenant was the eldest prince, otherwise how could he be so domineering in Linwen County, and dare to use force against the third prince?
What the third prince said is not unreasonable, the people of my race must have a different heart, but it doesn't matter if he thinks this way, maybe the lives of people like himself will be lost.
"We will be loyal to the third prince and serve His Royal Highness to the death!"
The sergeants hurriedly kowtowed to the third prince again, talking non-stop.
However, the third prince still didn't reply immediately, as if he was deep in thought.
This process actually didn't take too long, but in the eyes of everyone, it seemed to be longer than ever.
"His Royal Highness, Zhao Dahu guarantees for them. If they dare to have any dissatisfaction with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will chop off my head, Zhao Dahu!"
The third prince didn't speak, but Zhao Dahu's voice sounded in the aisle of the city gate.
As soon as these words came out, the defenders who were kneeling on the ground were stunned.
They couldn't help looking up at Zhao Dahu beside him.
None of them thought that at this juncture of life and death, the one who interceded for them was actually this Zhao Dahu who killed the top of the city, and even issued such a military order in front of His Royal Highness the Third Prince.
That is equivalent to this Zhao Dahu binding his wealth and life with these hundreds of people. As long as something goes wrong with these people, Zhao Dahu will definitely not be able to live.
We met by chance, but you gave me so much!
Such a sentence made the sergeants' hearts extremely shocked and extremely moved.
They looked at Zhao Dahu with gratitude, and the circles of their eyes began to turn red, and tears flowed down slowly.
"Thank you General Zhao, thank you General Zhao!"
They could no longer express their feelings in words, and regardless of Zhao Dahu's position in the army, they kowtowed to Zhao Dahu one after another.
Then he knelt on the ground, waiting for the third prince's verdict.
There are many smart people among these people, they know that the matter has come to this point, and this Zhao Dahu has already said such a thing, in fact, it doesn't matter whether they plead for mercy or not.
The most important thing is to look at the decision of the third prince. It can be said that no one can change the decision of the third prince except the third prince himself.
The only person who can change his decision is this Zhao Dahu, and this has almost been used before.
Now all that's left is to wait.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the third prince finally spoke again.
"Okay, Zhao Dahu, for the sake of your plea, I will spare them for the time being. If they disagree, you, Zhao Dahu, and these people will be executed together!"
The final word.
After hearing these words from the third prince, the defenders felt relieved at that moment. They knew that they finally walked through the gate of hell and came back alive.
"Thank you, Third Prince, for your kindness..."
"Thank you, Third Prince, for your kindness..."
"Thank you General Zhao for your plea!"
"Thank you General Zhao for your plea!"
Everyone let out a long breath, and hurriedly thanked the third prince and Zhao Dahu.
And what everyone thinks in their hearts is that they must not do any inappropriate actions in the future. The third prince said that if there is any disagreement in the future, not only will they die, but this benefactor Zhao Dahu will also be implicated!
Absolutely can't do anything to be sorry to your benefactor!
At this time, the third prince asked again: "Where is the magistrate of this county?"
A sergeant kneeling on the ground hurriedly replied: "Reporting to His Highness the Third Prince, the county magistrate Mr. Zhou has been executed by the First Prince. During this time, Mr. County Lieutenant is in charge of the county!"
"It was the eldest prince who executed him again!"
On the horse's back, the third prince slapped the saddle angrily, causing the horse Xi Lulu to neigh a few times. The third prince's strength is too great now. His inadvertent slap even hurt these extremely strong standing horses. no more.
"Zhao Dahu, the commander-in-chief now appoints you as the acting county magistrate and acting county lieutenant of Linwen City, to take charge of the military and government affairs of Linwen County temporarily."
Retaining the horse, the third prince Qin Feng looked at Zhao Dahu and said.
Zhao Dahu panicked when he heard that he was going to be made the county magistrate and concurrently the county lieutenant.
It's not that he hasn't had any dream of rising to the top, maybe even the dream of becoming the emperor, but right now, when this thing really comes true, he is really at a loss.
Can I, the grassroots county magistrate, do it?
