Chapter 74: Disobeying military orders and making enemies!

"Good fellow, this guy could have offended anyone else but the military commander, and now he is being forced to be cannon fodder, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful! If the two have a grudge, won't they be bullied once they enter the military camp?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, what if we make this military commander unhappy and he wants to force us to join the army?"

Everyone was talking about it with gloating.

Pairs of eyes were scanning from all over the restaurant.

Wei Hong raised his eyebrows and was extremely surprised. He never thought that he would meet Meng Kaishan here today, and he never thought that this bastard would be so vengeful that he wanted to force him to be cannon fodder?

"I'm sorry, sir!" Wei Hong sneered and said, "I have an elderly grandfather to support at home, and I have no intention of joining the army for the time being."

"Haha!" Meng Kaishan laughed even more happily, and he sneered with a playful look on his face: "What does your intention have to do with me? Now I am forcibly recruiting you to join the army on behalf of the Rebellion Recruiting Department. Wei Hong, do you want to disobey the military order?"

"Swish!"

Two soldiers on the side drew their swords and threatened.

If he dared to refuse or resist, they would kill him without hesitation.

Wei Hong's fingers tapped the table unconsciously, and his eyes looked at Meng Kaishan coldly. Obviously, he also saw that this person wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, and he wished that he would turn against him on the spot.

No matter how capable Wei Hong is at that time!

In this divine capital where masters gather and heavily guarded, he can't escape the fate of being arrested and suppressed.

But joining the army is not what he wants!

Being cannon fodder on the battlefield is so dangerous, he absolutely doesn't want to go.

When Wei Hong was struggling with how to deal with it, Deng Haisheng suddenly said, "I'm sorry, sir. My apprentice doesn't want to join the army. Please give me some face."

"Face? Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me about face?" Meng Kaishan roared impatiently, "When the country is in trouble, there are rules for all men. Do you really want to disobey the military order?"

"No, no, no!" Deng Haisheng said with a smile, "I am an executioner registered in the Ministry of Justice. Wei Hong is my apprentice. He is also on the list of the Ministry of Justice. According to the rules, he is fully qualified to refuse the call-up."

"Oh?"

Wei Hong's eyes lit up.

Meng Kaishan's face turned ashen.

Everyone didn't expect such a change, and they couldn't help whispering for a while.

"Alas!" Wei Hong pretended to sigh and said, "Look, sir, what a coincidence, isn't it? Today I just took on the job of an executioner, and I just happened to be on the list of the Ministry of Justice. You tell me... I don't want to disobey the military order, I just can't do anything!"

"Puff!"

Bursts of suppressed laughter rang out in the crowd.

Meng Kaishan's face became even uglier.

However, he didn't say anything more, just glanced at Deng Haisheng coldly.

Then he turned around and left with his men, returning to the street to recruit soldiers.

Only Wei Hong knew that this petty bastard had not given up looking for trouble.

If there was a chance, it would be better to kill him completely, otherwise it would be troublesome in the future.

"Thank you, Master Deng!" Wei Hong silently poured a glass of wine and said seriously: "If it weren't for your righteous words, I would be in big trouble today. I owe you a favor."

"Don't talk about these. I just told the truth." Deng Haisheng waved his hand proudly: "Besides, I feed my whole family. I have chopped off countless heads over the years. Would I be afraid of a young boy like him? You have to be careful. I don't know how you offended such a person."

"Hehe!"

Wei Hong chuckled and said nothing more.

He raised his hand and drank the wine, blocking his murderous eyes.

If Deng Haisheng hadn't suddenly rescued him today, he would probably agree to join the army, and then find a way to arrange for his grandfather to evacuate the capital, abandoning all his foundations and playing a game of life and death.

So he had to remember this favor!

He also had to remember the grudge against Meng Kaishan.

Wei Hong has always been a man who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. He doesn't care about the other party's suspected identity as a branch of the Meng family. He looks at Meng Kaishan as if he is looking at a dead person.

...

In the evening

After having a good meal.

Wei Hong sent Deng Haisheng away before returning to Tianbao Lane.

As soon as he got home, he saw Grandpa, Grandma Wang, Chunlan Qiuju and the four of them looking at him worriedly.

Obviously, the news on the street has spread to everyone.

"Stinky boy, you became an executioner? And you chopped off dozens of heads?" Old Wei slammed the table in shock and anger: "Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with your family? How can you get married after doing such a dirty job? Who dares to marry their daughter to a butcher!"

"Sixteen!" Wei Hong poured him a cup of tea and sighed indifferently: "It's not easy to survive these days. I just want to get stronger quickly. How can I care whether I can get married in the future?"

"You?" Old Wei was so angry that he had a headache.

Grandma Wang quickly advised: "Brother Hong, don't be angry with your grandfather. Being an executioner is not something that ordinary people can do. He is doing this for your own good."

"I know!" Wei Hong smiled calmly: "But it is too difficult to become strong in this world. I have no family background to help me, so I can only abandon everything to pursue power. What's the point of getting married? A wife, children and a warm bed have never been in my life plan."

Everyone was a little confused about what he meant.

Wei Hong was too lazy to say anything else, and directly comforted him: "Grandpa, don't worry, I have my own plans for my life. As long as I become strong enough, I can find any woman. I will marry dozens of wives and concubines and give you hundreds of grandchildren to hold."

"Nonsense, you stinky boy."

Old Wei smiled bitterly and cursed, but his heart finally relaxed a little.

Wei Hong is a child with ideas and has been very independent since he was a child.

Although Old Wei did not agree with him being an executioner.

But the overall situation has been decided and there is nothing more to say. I can only hold my nose and admit it.

"Grandpa, you don't know yet!" Wei Hong continued: "If I hadn't registered with the Ministry of Punishment today, I would have been forcibly used as cannon fodder!"

Then he told the story of Meng Kaishan.

Everyone was immediately frightened when they heard this. Qiu Ju patted her heart and muttered: "Thank you, thank you. Brother Wei, if you are dragged into the military camp, you will definitely be framed."

"Alas, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Things are unpredictable, so be it!"

Old Wei Tou said no more, but repeatedly told him to be more careful.

"The current situation is turbulent, and we are lucky to be able to survive. Today, people from the Hutou Gang came to collect taxes again." Grandma Wang sighed: "Not to mention all the messy taxes in the past, now there is another one. Each person has to pay a full 5 silver coins to quell the chaos. If life had not become more relaxed now, how would we be able to pay this amount? "

Chunlan Qiuju also looked frightened when she heard this.

Thanks to Wei Hong's protection, they were able to move out of the slum and earn money in the embroidery room to support their families. If not, the protection fee collected by the Hutou Gang alone would be enough to force them to death.

The world is really hard and survival is not easy!
