Chapter Twenty-Six: Evil Hearts
Shen Zai suffered two knife wounds, the leg injury was particularly serious, and after a simple bandage, he barely stopped the bleeding, but he could not walk normally, and was carried to the courtyard by Cang with two subordinates tied his hands and feet to a wooden stick with a thick bowl mouth.
The people of the Shen clan all showed a look of shame and indignation and the death of the rabbit and the fox, Xu You was also a little sideways, since the establishment of the Chu State, the Shi clan who failed in the struggle was nothing more than punished by the clan, and they were rarely humiliated in front of them like this. The cangs are Wuxi barbarians, but they are thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and they treat the captives according to the rules of their mountains, and eighty percent of them are to please Xu You.
Xu You may not be happy, but he will not be pretentious to reprimand Cang, he and the Shen family have long been in an endless situation, and it doesn't matter how to deal with the generals of the defeated army.
Shen Yuzhi was completely desperate, and scolded bitterly: "You swore to me yesterday that Xu You was brave and had no plan, and if he dared to come to the realm, he would definitely return with his halberd." It's good now, one day the city is broken, and there is no time for his mother's transfer, the old and the young, all become bitter prisoners. You, the master of the army, were tied up as a pig on the board, and you simply lost the face of the Shen family. No wonder you have never been loved by your father for so many years, if Xing'er is here, how can he fall to this point? ”
Shen Zai was tied into such a posture by the firmament, and he had already saved his will to die, and said indifferently: "Uncle, death is death, what's the use of complaining?" After speaking, he looked at Xu You, spat and foamed contemptuously, and said: "If you win, if you want to kill, you will kill, the children of the Shen family, the bones are harder than your knife, don't think that someone will wag their tail and beg for mercy from you." ”
"Really?" Xu You clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Whoever is willing to scold Shen Muyi for being a chaotic minister and thief, I will exempt him from the death penalty!" ”
The kneeling Shen clan looked at each other, and no one wanted to be this budding bird. Xu You walked back and forth slowly, and said, "I know your thoughts, as soon as you come, you are afraid that Shen Muzhi will retaliate in the future; Second, I'm afraid that I won't be able to speak. Regarding the first point, you can actually rest assured, as long as the people in this courtyard today do not scold Shen Muzhi, they will die, whether you scolded or not, no one will know; And the second one, I can only say believe it or not, the opportunity is only once, think about it, is your life important, or is your loyalty to Shen Muzhi important? ”
Shen Yuzhi's heart beat violently, he is the oldest, but the older he gets, the more afraid he is of death, if he scolds that brother who is not as good as bullshit can live, there is no pressure on him, I am afraid that Xu Youyan will not believe it, and he will scold him, and he will still die.
"Okay, they're all very backbone."
Xu You pulled out the iron knife from Cang's waist, the tip of the knife dragged on the ground, making a piercing sizzling sound, and every time he passed by, he was so frightened that the other party quickly lowered his head, trembling like chaff, and even a young man peed his pants.
The footsteps stopped in front of Shen Yuzhi, and Lao Er held on to that breath and didn't dare to vent, and said, "I don't believe it...... You, you dare to kill me? Xu You, keep me, in case you lose, you still have the capital to talk to my eldest brother about the conditions......"
Xu You laughed and said, "If you are valuable, you should have gone to Jinling to enjoy your happiness!" Then he directly cut off Shen Yuzhi's neck, and his head rolled out a long way, and blood was splashed everywhere.
The crowd was shocked, and then there were those who howled, those who screamed, and those who tried to escape, and anyway, they were in chaos, and the guards stabbed one by one, and all those who struggled to move were beheaded, and the rest trembled, and desperately squeezed into the middle of the crowd, and no one dared to make a sound.
It was like a popped balloon, and the black crowd that had just covered the entire courtyard would turn into a small group of constricted bodies, with eleven corpses lying around, making them aware of their current situation.
Xu You stood in a pool of blood and asked, "Have you thought about it?" Whoever wants to stand up and scold Shen Muzhi for being a chaotic minister and thief can go to another courtyard immediately, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no need for people to fall to the ground! ”
"I, I say, I say!"
A handsome man in his thirties crawled out of the crowd and cried: "Shen Muzhi is a chaotic minister and thief, a shameless traitor, a beast, and a dog Lao Ge......
Xu You smiled: "Okay, very good!" Come on, take him down, and enjoy the food! ”
The man suddenly collapsed on the ground, snot and tears, the desire to survive prevailed over all other things, what dignity, what name, what the future, no longer mattered, what was important was that he had to live for the present.
He Wei watched coldly, knowing that this person had completely destroyed his will, not to mention scolding Shen Muzhi, even if he was willing to make him a dog.
Someone started, and the herd mentality was the most terrible, and immediately another woman knelt out, and she was still holding a two- or three-year-old baby girl in her arms, and her black and pure eyes looked curiously from east to west, and she didn't know what was going on. The woman was just about to scold, Xu You shook her finger and said, "There is only one chance!" Now if you want to live, you have to kill the Shen family with your own hands......"
The woman was stunned on the spot, her face was as pale as paper, she looked at Xu You with eyes like she was looking at a demon crawling out of hell, it seemed that there was such a devil in the world who played with people's hearts.
The baby girl seemed to feel something, pursed her lips, and cried out. The woman was half frightened, covered her mouth tightly, threw herself on her knees, and slammed her head a few times, for fear that a knife would cut her next moment. At this moment, a thin teenager suddenly stood up in the crowd, plucked up the courage to look directly at Xu You, and said, "I'm coming!" ”
Xu You nodded, took out a short dagger with cold light, cut his rope, and handed the knife over. The thin young man took the knife and stabbed it into the chest of a middle-aged man next to him without hesitation, his face was not yet obvious, revealing the excitement and pleasure of the perverts that should not be at this age, and said: "Uncle Shanzhi, when he broke into my house and insulted my mother in front of me and my sister, did you ever think that there would be today? ”
Shen Shanzhi is from the side room, and Shen Muzhi's room is not close, but if Shen Muzhi wants to be the head of the family, he has to put on a fair and selfless face, and all brothers and sisters are treated equally, giving Shen Shanzhi the wealth and status he deserves. It's just that this person called the word "good" in vain, and he loved to mess around the most by nature, and he didn't even let go of his own family, and he actually fell in love with his widowed niece and daughter-in-law, that is, the young man's mother, and looked for a good opportunity for no one, and forced her body to do so.
At first, it was quiet, and then he bullied unscrupulously in front of the child, and the most shameful thing is that even the eleven-year-old sister of the teenager did not let go, and after playing with it, he died of hemorrhage, but he claimed to have the epidemic of furious wind, and threw it into the field to dig a pit and bury it. His mother couldn't stand the blow and hanged herself. There are countless such beastly things in the gate lord clan, so no one cares, the young man dares to be angry and dare not speak, and he doesn't even dare to have the idea of revenge, he can only endure all this if he wants to live.
Until today, Xu You gave him hope of revenge, watching Shen Shanzhi lose his breath in pain, and said with tears: "Mother, sister, I have finally avenged you!" ”
Xu You looked at him and said, "What's your name?" ”
The young man knelt on the ground, threw the knife, and said, "The villain's name is Shen Ci!" ”
"Cangshi, take him down, change his clothes, and take care of him!"
Shen Ci left the courtyard, many people had the same thoughts, even if it was a clansman with the same surname, they still had hatred and resentment, and took this opportunity to take revenge and live, why not?
"I, I can ...... too"
"It's my turn, General, I'll stand up first!"
"General, I can kill two, two......"
Xu You frowned, the three people who were scrambling were cut off their heads by the guards with a knife, he shrugged softly, and said, "There is only one chance!" If you didn't catch it just now, then there is no way! Whoever comes, take them down, and throw them into the river outside the city tonight to feed the fish. ”
Everyone collapsed, begging Xu You to give them another chance to choose, no matter what they were asked to do, they were willing to do it. Xu You looked down at Shen Zai and sneered slightly: "Shen's bones are harder than knives?" ”
Shen Zai raised his head and laughed, "Xu You, what if you just kill them?" Back then, Brother Qing and I teamed up to break through Yixing and cut off the heads of the Xu family, which was already enough! By the way, not only the head, but also those beautiful girls of the Xu family, I don't know if it's your sister, or your sister-in-law, or maybe your aunt...... Hahaha, they were stripped naked by us, and after playing with them, they put the spear in from underneath, and then out from the top of their heads, and tied them vertically on both sides of the road at the entrance of Xu's house, that scene is really spectacular, and it is really pleasing to the eye! ”
Cang Chu roared angrily, and was about to hack this bastard to death, but Xu You stretched out his hand to stop him, slowly squatted down, looked at Shen Zai, and suddenly laughed, and said: "Shen Qing died in the hands of the white thief, which is considered to be cheaper for him." As for you, deliberately provoking me and wanting to die quickly, that's just your wishful thinking. However, don't be afraid, I won't kill you today, when you get to Jingkou, I will hand you over to my sister, Princess Xu Shunhua of Linchuan, don't worry, she will definitely greet you well! ”
Shen Zai finally showed a look of fear, and struggled violently, Xu You pointed at his dantian, abolished his martial arts, and placed a few more prohibitions, so that he couldn't die even if he wanted to. After leaving the courtyard, He Wei followed behind him and said lightly: "How does it feel to take revenge?" ”
Xu You sighed and said, "Qiyi, I've disappointed you, I still can't be ruthless after all, there are a lot of women and children there, I can't kill them!" ”
He Wei sneered: "When the Shen family destroyed your Xu family, did anyone think that the Xu family's women and children were pitiful? The woman is pregnant with the clan, and the children will grow up, and if you don't cut the grass and not remove the roots, there will be endless troubles, and you yourself are proof of it! ”
"I'm not Shen!"
Xu You raised his head, the light of dusk sprinkled on his shoulders, and there was a bit of splendor in his gentleness, and said: "This is your life-and-death war, although it is cruel and bloody, but I don't kill women and children!" Can you sit back and relax? Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the dynasty has changed, the gate valve has risen and fallen, and how many have died at the hands of women and children? If I am just a young man, if I am afraid of these defenseless women and children, then what is there to fight? Jinling, Xiliang and Northern Wei, who is not a hundred times stronger than them? Even if there are powerful people in the future, we have taken the lead for decades, and if we can't fight, we should be defeated. To be truly strong is not to be afraid of whether the enemy will pose a threat, but to always have the upper hand and maintain enough vigilance, so that it can last forever. ”
He Wei put his hands into his sleeves and said, "So you deliberately made the trick just now, so that people can see your violent and evil side." This can not only cover up your inner fragility and uneasiness, but also hide from the world and leave a way for these women and children to live. ”
"Yes, my sister will not allow me to let anyone from the Shen family go, and this matter can only be left to you. Wait until tonight, secretly send the women and children to Linwu Mountain, and hand them over to Yuan Qingqi, who will settle down and give enough guidance and teaching, and try to consume the seeds of hatred in the long river of years. ”
"It's stupid, but that's what sets you apart from this filthy world." He Wei laughed, and said: "I'm afraid it's not just that, Qilang's reputation and popularity over the years are too good, it's just flawless, this time he wantonly demagogues people's hearts, and he takes killing as a pleasure, it will definitely reach the ears of those people around King Linchuan, this is your self-defilement, and it is also a handle you deliberately give to others." After all, people with shortcomings are easy to control, so that people will not be so scared and worried! ”
Xu You said calmly: "You think too much!" ”
