Chapter 816: An Abrupt Transformation
An Shouzhong tortured these soldiers who participated in the rebellion, not really to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but his real purpose was to take the opportunity to bite out a list.
And the hard-mouthed mouths of these people also add a bit of color to the drama he designed, if they admit it happily, it makes people feel that there is an element of fake.
The beating continued until night, and the torches inside the Anxi Gate were bright, reflecting the area of 100 paces as if it were day. But hearing the weak wail accompanied by crackling sound again and again, everyone present looked sideways, and the dozen or so soldiers tied to the wooden frame had become like bloody people, and they had no human form at all.
On the contrary, An Shouzhong sat on the stool unhurriedly, looking at the tragic execution scene with concern.
"Xianggong, it's almost confessed, this is the list that has been written!"
An Shouzhong seemed to casually take over a list of bloodstained spots from his subordinates, which listed names, officials, titles, and places of origin, which couldn't be more detailed.
After carefully reading the list, An Shouzhong nodded with satisfaction.
"Arrest people according to the list first, the whole family must be one, and after they are caught, they will all be escorted to the edge of the canal, and the Fa will be corrected on the spot, and they must not be kept until dawn!"
To kill the rebellious party, An Shouzhong asked for the holy order, and killing people is justified. If, after the mutiny, it would be strange not to kill people?
Tonight is destined to be an unquiet night, especially inside and outside the dozen or so squares where dignitaries and dignitaries in the city live, chickens and dogs jump, crying and grabbing the ground, and cursing, scolding, and crying are mixed together.
Although the people who don't know why can hear the sound of a large number of people walking and walking on the street, who dares to come out to see the excitement? At most, it is already bold to look through the crack in the door behind the door.
Soon, hundreds of disheveled men and women were taken out into the streets, and the guards tied them with ropes to prevent anyone from escaping. Obviously, many people were even picked up in their sleep, and the men were fine, but the women were even more unlucky.
The young ladies of dignitaries and dignitaries, regardless of the master and slave, are all born with fine skin and tender meat. The soldiers in charge of escorting are all angry soldiers, and they are extremely profane and playful, and occasionally some people burst into laughter......
But if their doom is only to suffer this humiliation, an even greater calamity awaits us!
Because of the prime minister's order, the soldiers acted without scruples, they were all dying people, and if they didn't take the opportunity to ask for some cheapness, wouldn't they waste this beauty in vain?
The lieutenant in charge of the execution forced all the people to be tortured to strip off all their clothes and huddle together naked, not just for humiliation, because the clothes on these people were also valuable goods, and at this time, they were gathered together, which naturally saved a lot of effort. Some of them resisted, but they were soon dismembered by the blade, and the rest dared to resist when they saw this, and they endured the humiliation and chose to obey.
People are like this, knowing that they will die, but they are driven by the unrealistic hope in their hearts, hoping that a miracle will appear at the last moment. However, the humiliating cooperation did not bring a chance to live.
About an hour later, the first heads landed on the side of the canal, and the executioners turned the corpses directly into the canal, and at the same time opened several iron gates on the city wall, allowing the corpses to be washed out of the city with the water flowing through the canal. The boat's canal leads directly to Luoshui, and if nothing happens, the corpses will float into Luoshui after dawn, and eventually join the Yellow River with Luoshui.
In doing so, it naturally saves the trouble of time-consuming and laborious disposal of corpses.
According to the number of names on the list, at least tens of thousands of heads will have to land tonight, and there will simply not be enough people to deal with such a large number, so this is also a last resort.
Seeing that one stubble after another of the heads fell to the ground, the squire under the door was completely silent.
An Shouzhong did not retaliate for his excesses, but seeing so many innocent people implicated because of a failed mutiny, he only felt his heart twitching, and his whole body was unspeakably uncomfortable. Finally, Gao Shang couldn't help but vomit in the corner.
A strong sense of guilt gripped Noble Noble like a ghost, leaving him breathless. Although these people are not harmed by him, they are indirectly indistinguishable from them.
If he hadn't left his post without permission, went to the palace, and went to the political hall to plead his case, those rebels who wanted to do something would have no chance to rebel, and the rebellion was not born, and An Shouzhong naturally would not have had the opportunity to implicate so many people.
Unable to vomit, Gao Shang staggered, struggling to get up weakly, his vision was blurred by cloudy tears, and everything was distorted like a ghost.
Gao Shang is not a cowardly person, he was also a veteran general who led troops on the battlefield when he was young, but later he gradually faded out of the battlefield when he was old, and no longer charged into battle. Such a person from the army had never seen any bloody scenes, but he was still deeply shocked by the tragic scene in front of him.
But I saw a corpse with red stripes and bloody flesh being pushed into the ditch like a dead pig, and at the same time a group of heads fell to the ground, and another body with fresh and hot body was brought to the shore.
Fighting on the battlefield is a battle of life and death, and those who kill are enemies. But these people in front of them were still the dignitaries of Dayan overnight, but at this moment, they have fallen into a situation where pigs and dogs are inferior, not to mention that they are in a different place, and they will die without a place to be buried, and they will become the stomach of fish, birds and beasts.
At this time, Gao Shang already wanted to cry without tears, he would rather be loyal and kill himself. However, he clearly knew that An Shouzhong, even if he wanted to avoid suspicion, would not retaliate against himself on this cusp. In the future, as long as the hatred does not die, isn't there a great chance of revenge?
"Dayan is going to die!"
Gao Shang only muttered this sentence over and over again, An Shouzhong killed so many people, it was nothing more than to eliminate dissidents, and he even recognized most of the people who were executed, either Yan Zhuang's old ministers, or Ashina Chengqing's cronies.
As long as tonight passes, who else in Luoyang City will dare to disobey An Shouzhong's half-sentence again? Thinking of this, he shuddered.
"How can Gao Shilang hide here? Let the old man look for it!"
Gao Shang reluctantly stood up straight, and said coldly:
"Xianggong killed so many traitors, Gao was only frightened, and his liver trembled......"
An Shouzhong was full of smiles, as if the two had never been unhappy.
"No one is a natural butcher, but with a holy order, even if he kills Yingye, what is it, even if that Abi Hell doesn't dare to accept An!"
Gao Shang wanted to say, those are all unarmed people, can they kill for the sake of power? Unfortunately, he secretly took his breath several times, but he couldn't spit it out, and finally just looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Okay, Gao Shilang don't be rash anymore, the old man has just thought clearly, the Luoluo River outside the city can't give up, you and I should enter the palace, and explain to Your Majesty that this is a powerful key, as long as the opportunity is right, send troops to attack it inside and outside, how about it?"
For a moment, Gao Shang couldn't believe his eyes, he really couldn't figure out how An Shouzhong, who still insisted on defending during the day, changed his mind, could it be that a massacre could have such an effect?
"Really?"
An Shouzhong laughed.
"When did the old man say that if he sent troops, he would send troops, and if the timing was right tomorrow, he would send troops tomorrow!"
Gao Shang Wu stared at An Shouzhong in disbelief, trying to see what the hell this vicious butcher was up to. It's just that he is already distracted now, and it is difficult for him to think calmly.
Confused followed An Shouzhong into the palace, and confused with An Shouzhong's words that the army should be in harmony with the outside of the clouds, until the sky gradually brightened out of the Mingde Gate, the morning breeze of late summer and early autumn blew, and the body couldn't help but feel cold, and the noble suddenly woke up.
He finally figured out why An Shouzhong had changed so much!
Suddenly, a military officer flew up, and the horse's hooves were slashed, and no matter how you look at it, you are all in a panic. An Shouzhong, who came out with him, couldn't help frowning. This situation should not be good news.
"What's the alarm?"
"Tanma has just returned, and the camp in the west of the city has caught fire, and the specific reason is unknown......"
"Why?
At this time, An Shouzhong was also a little panicked, if a day ago, the Luoluo River camp would have been burned. But now the situation is very different, and seeing that there is hope to take this elite left by the former emperor for his own use, why did he catch fire?
The fire in the barracks will certainly not be caused by some carelessness, and there must be a Shenwu army making trouble from it.
I saw An Shouzhong gritting his teeth.
"Qin Jin Pifu, Yan Zhuang Pifu, don't you die if you don't kill my Dayan?"
Gao Shang was also secretly frightened, although looking at An Shouzhong's angry and corrupt appearance, he was somewhat relieved. But when I thought that it was Dayan's own family who was unlucky, that little bit of resentment disappeared.
"An Xianggong, the top priority is to be like a perfect method, no matter how bad it is, you have to bring back the elite trapped outside the city, otherwise, otherwise the loss will be incalculable......"
In fact, this is also an important reason why Gao Shang left his post without permission yesterday and planned to lobby Da Xixun to persuade An Qingxu to send troops.
An Shouzhong nodded, but his eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character.
In a hurry, it was really difficult to send troops out immediately, because the gates of Luoyang had already been ordered by him to be killed, and the bricks and stones were even filled with lime, and if you wanted to chisel and clean it thoroughly, it would take at least a day or two.
"An Xianggong, you have something to say!"
In an emergency, Gao Shang didn't care about the previous public enmity and personal grudges, and only hoped that An Shouzhong would understand a truth, everyone was in the same boat as Dayan, and if the boat sank, it would not end well. ( )
