Chapter 320: Atrocities

For today's sake, how many years has the King of Shu planned and how many years of painstaking arrangement has he had his previous achievements. Finally, he got rid of the prince, King Jing, and King Rui in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the king who suddenly appeared, the king of Shu would probably have become the biggest winner. Although there have been some surprises at the moment, it is far from the time to decide the outcome of the battle.

If it were because of these spies from Nanzhen Fusi, they finally collapsed in advance and sank into the sand, I'm afraid no one would be reconciled if they were replaced. As for the detailed scale and number of people in Nanzhen Fusi, Lu Wentao said that he did not know. But Lu Wentao also knew that it was impossible for Nanzhen Fusi to put too many people in Ruzhou at one time. Perhaps these more than ten people are all the people sent to Ruzhou by Nanzhen Fusi this time.

If you can really catch it all, at least in the eyes of King Shu, maybe the situation will not become too bad. Thinking of this, Lu Wentao finally chose to be silent. Lu Wentao acquiesced, and without him stopping him, the king of Shu, who was anxious at this time, personally ordered, and the action here was naturally not slow.

When there was only one stick of incense, the 100 people in the left battalion of the secret guards that the King of Shu had painstakingly cultivated, plus the 100 guards of the King of Shu, had all been concentrated and galloped away under the leadership of the secret chase. These people are all hardcore henchmen of the King of Shu, even if something goes wrong at that time, Lu Wentao believes that it will be kept secret.

The group was all cavalry, and the speed was quite fast. After arriving at the place where the two secret chasers broke up, the king of Shu groaned for a while, and said to Lu Wentao: "Sir, you take fifty people to that mass grave and dig up the place where the secret chasers found the people of Fusi in Nanzhen." Look at what those two people from Nanzhen Fusi are burning. Then, come back and look for us. ”

Looking at the cold gaze of the King of Shu when he ordered these words, Lu Wentao did not dare to delay. Immediately with fifty people, rushed to the mass grave. Without saying a word, he dug up the freshest place outside the grass and graves all over the ground. At this time, he was also worried that the bodies of Princess Rui and the side concubine would be found by the people of Nanzhen Fusi before they could be burned.

Although it was only two corpses, who were the people from Nanzhen Fusi? Those people are all veterans of secretly handling cases and tracking them, and even some things can be seen from the corpses. Moreover, it has been more than a few days since the king of Shu commits suicide by setting fire to the king of Rui. The bodies of Princess Rui and the side concubine died at a glance, which cannot be hidden.

When the time comes, it will not even be possible to explain the desire to cover up. And there are so many scars on the two corpses, once they reach the emperor's ears, it will be a matter of not a thing. Even if the two henchmen in charge of the cremation are killed, as long as the bodies of the second daughter are not taken away, there is still room for maneuver. If the body is found and taken away, then it's really the end of it.

So when his subordinates were digging in the soil, Lu Wentao's heart was always hanging. Fortunately, when the place was dug up, there was nothing but ashes left over from the incineration of the person. Maybe it was a problem with the cremation of his two henchmen, and a woman's foot was not burned. And the only remaining woman has a very obvious black mole on the center of her foot.

With this discovery, Lu Wentao, who had almost tossed the two women last night, was secretly relieved in his heart. Lu Wentao, who likes women's feet, played with Princess Rui's beautiful feet for a long time when he took an occasional break in madness last night. So he still remembers this mole quite vividly.

Of course, he didn't have much interest in King Rui's other side concubine, but he didn't see if there was the same mole on the feet of King Rui's other side concubine. All he knew was that Princess Rui had a black mole on her foot. The remaining foot of this burn is enough to prove that Princess Rui has been melted. For him, as long as the two women died, nothing else mattered.

As for how many people the ashes in the pit were, he didn't have the ability to tell the difference. The corpse, which had been doused with fire oil, was burned thoroughly. As for why Princess Rui's remaining foot was not burned, he didn't know. But Lu Wentao, who thought that the two women were dead now, was completely relieved.

Immediately ordered people to refill the soil and led people to chase after the king of Shu. When he followed the marks left by the secret guards, he came to the small mountain village, but found that the king of Shu was looking at more than 100 villagers kneeling in front of his horse, and more than 100 shivering villagers. At this time, King Shu's face was not generally gloomy, and it could even be said to be darker than the bottom of the pot.

Before Lu Wentao could open his mouth to speak, the King of Shu spoke first: "Sir, there are indeed more than a dozen people who have been to this village this morning." And not only have I been to this village, but I have also stayed at a certain house for a full hour. But by now, at least half an hour has passed. ”

Hearing King Shu's answer, Lu Wentao, who was still a little uneasy in his heart, said: "Lord Wang, then do they know those people, did they come back with any people or strange things?" I just found the crematorium below, and I dug it up to check it out. Inside that ash pit, a woman's foot was found, which should have belonged to Princess Rui. ”

But that's all, all that's left is a pile of ashes, and nothing else has been found. The bodies of the two people who went to burn the bodies were not found. What I'm most worried about right now is whether they will be captured alive by the people of Nanzhen Fusi? These two people know everything about what has happened in the past few days. The corpses of the Ruiwang family were all burned by them. ”

"As soon as those people entered the village, they took control of the whole village. More than 20 families in the village were closed and were not allowed to come out. All they knew was who had come this morning, and who had bought a donkey cart and a few sets of bedding at a high price. The rest of these people don't know if they ask three questions, how do you ask this king to check for you? Hearing Lu Wentao's question, the King of Shu said coldly.

King Shu's answer made Lu Wentao's uneasiness stronger and stronger. Just as he was about to ask something, a fast horse galloped in. After seeing the king of Shu, the knight immediately turned over and dismounted and knelt down and said, "Master, when the subordinates chased down the rut, they found traces of those people. A group of sixteen of them rode horses and carried a carriage. ”

After the subordinates found out about them, they didn't dare to startle the snake. But after chasing them for more than ten miles, they found that they had turned to the main road to Jingzhao and joined up with Rui Jianying, who was returning to Beijing. After they joined up with Rui Jianying, I don't know what the hell was going on. The Ruijian battalion not only strengthened its vigilance, but even sent scouts on both flanks to search carefully along the way. ”

"The soldiers in the Ruijian battalion are all veterans, and the scouts are all veterans who have fought in the border army, and they are extremely experienced. The subordinates are afraid that if they continue to follow, they will be easily discovered. I didn't dare to chase down, and I was in a hurry to come back and report to the prince. What to do next, please let the prince decide. ”

This secret report made the King of Shu, who had been hit since he received the holy decree early this morning, no longer be able to suppress the anger in his heart. At this time, in front of his subordinates in the past, no matter what happened to him, he had always been indifferent, and he had already disappeared.

Not only was his face hideous, but he also raised his hand to be a horse whip, and after directly bleeding blood from the face of this secret chase, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Please make a decision to this king, please make a decision to this king, if everything needs to be decided by this king to do things, then what is the use of this king raising you?" It's better to do it yourself. ”

After that, he raised his head and looked at the trembling villagers in front of him, and said to the commander of the guards around him: "From now on, this king doesn't want to see these untouchables, and he doesn't want to continue to see this mountain village. If you are interested in these village girls, you can do whatever you want. But after enjoying it, you don't need this king to teach you what to do. ”

As soon as the words of the King of Shu fell, this guard, who was his hardcore confidant and was already a little dissatisfied with the beautiful maids of the Rui Wang's Mansion, was a little dissatisfied with the secret guards, and said to the hundred pro-soldiers behind him: "The words of the master, I heard them." I'll give you half a day off today, and you can do whatever you want. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the hundred pro-army behind him could still be controlled. Immediately rushed up, forcibly separated the men and women among the villagers, and dragged all the young women out alone. The rest of the villagers were herded into a hut and a large amount of firewood and grass was piled around the hut.

The guard, who was a member of the army, personally lit a torch, and threw the torch directly on the firewood and grass pile without even getting off the horse. And behind him, in almost every hut in the village, there was a woman's heart-rending cry, which he didn't hear as if he hadn't heard it.

He had little interest in the village girls or village women who were ugly in appearance, perhaps full of lice. So at this time, he didn't want to have fun with his subordinates. If your subordinates are willing, you can reward them. If one of them is beautiful, someone will naturally take the initiative to send it.

However, for him in those days, the young and beautiful maids in the Rui Palace's mansion were all rewarded to the subordinates of the secret guard. These women may be ugly in appearance, not as beautiful as those women in Ruiwangfu. It's also a little dirty, and there will be some lice and stuff like that. But at least it's better than nothing, and it's more cost-effective than spending your own money to visit the kiln.

So although the King of Shu is around, no one cares. And the commander, who had been holding the shelf, until one of his subordinates, dragged a girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but very delicate in appearance, to him. He dismounted satisfied, and dragged the girl to a hut. After a while, there was a scream from inside the house.

Although this small mountain village is poor, but it has always been quiet and stable, after the King of Shu and his subordinates moved in, it became a Shura field in an instant. And the initiator of all this, the King of Shu, sat on his horse and listened quietly to the screams of people before they were burned alive in the thatched hut under the blazing fire. There are also the screams of women scattered among the thatched huts in the village.

Seeing all this, Lu Wentao did not have any advice at this time. For him, who is also in turmoil at the moment, he has no idea what to do next, and there is still a place where he cares about the life and death of these villagers. And what he knows better is that if he doesn't hurry up to calm the anger in King Shu's heart, maybe the next unlucky person will be himself.

In order to protect himself, Lu Wentao wisely shut his mouth. As for the others, they are either already involved in it, or they are used to it. When everything calmed down, the King of Shu didn't even look at the tragedy he created in front of him. Directly took the reins of the horse, turned around and left the village that had become a ruin and a broken wall, and there was no trace of life.

Seeing the King of Shu leaving, the people behind him did not dare to delay, and they got on their horses and left. Behind them, a village of just over 20 households was already on fire. It wasn't until the fire had been extinguished for a long time that a girl struggled to crawl out of a ruined wall. This girl is none other than the girl who was ruined by the guards and the thousands of households.
