Chapter 658: Buddha Worshippers
A detachment of cavalry galloped towards a small village, and immediately someone in the village rang the bronze bell. Several squires were chatting, and their brows furrowed at the sound of the brass bell.
"Four long and one short, it's the soldiers of the imperial court who are here, do any of you hide the Maitreya disciples?"
A squire at the head asked unhappily, there was news in the city a few days ago, Cai Cong's murderer is coming, let them restrain a little, these people are simply treating this as a fart.
"Nope!"
"Neither do I."
"Neither are you old, haven't you heard of them fighting recently?"
Several people said one after another, and the squire led by him was suddenly puzzled, since there are no soldiers and bandits to do anything?
"Since there is no one, then call all the men, I want to see what these soldiers and bandits want to do."
The squire sneered and said, in the face of these incompetent officers and soldiers for more than half a year, they have really swelled, and it is just a matter of looking down on them, and they dare to ignore the knives in their hands.
"Master, the big thing is not good, those officers and soldiers have entered the village to arrest people."
A little guy ran in and screamed in a panic, and the squire immediately slapped the table and said angrily, "What is this for?" We gave five hundred taels of silver to the city, so why did we come to the village to catch the strong men? Call people, call everyone, today the old man wants them to come and go. ”
The village was already full of chickens and dogs, and the officer at the head said that when he entered the village, he would only kill people and not rob money, and he would kill whoever the soldier dared to think crookedly.
Many of the people who worked in the fields were stabbed in the heart, and some women and children had their heads chopped off at home, and the village was suddenly plunged into a bloody storm, and the sounds of terror and the cries of children lingered in the ears of every soldier.
When the squire arrived with the men, the smell of blood was so strong that it could not be dispersed, and the people who had not stopped the soldiers before were hugging themselves in horror, covering their mouths and those of their children tightly.
"You soldiers and bandits, soldiers and bandits, the old man wants to report to the court and kill the good people, you are so big!"
The squire's eyes cracked, and he pointed at the soldiers on the horses and roared loudly, while the villagers behind him held their hoes and sticks and wanted to retreat in horror, the soldiers' knives were not yet sheathed, they still wanted to kill!
"You don't have a chance!"
The officer at the head urged the horses with a sinister smile and cut off his head under the squire's horrified gaze.
The cavalry charged in two rounds, and the fleeing villagers died cleanly, and only then did the officer order the sword to be sheathed.
"These villagers who were beheaded by us are all people who have helped the thieves before, and the Hou Ye said that if anyone dares to fornicate with Maitreya, there will be no forgiveness! I don't know if there are any of you who have fornicated with Maitreya, but Uncle Ben wants to tell you that there is no harm in being a separate person, and whoever doesn't know whether to live or die will wait for the whole family to die! ”
The officer said to the surviving villagers refreshedly that the bird spirit he had received in the past six months had finally come out, and he didn't care what the villagers wanted to take their subordinates to turn their horses around and leave, and then a desolate cry sounded in the small village, and many people looked at the direction of the cavalry with resentful eyes.
At noon the next day, the school yard of the barracks was full of frightened heads, and there were more than a dozen angry people jumping up and down at the gate of the barracks, shouting and scolding!
Cai Cong paced back and forth on the school grounds, and only after half a ring did he point to the head and ask, "Is there any manslaughter or taking the opportunity to vent personal anger?" ”
"It's absolutely impossible to go back to the Hou Ye, these people have helped Maitreya at least twice, and there is absolutely no manslaughter and venting personal anger." The officer beside him hurriedly said, they are not the local people of Shannan, where did they come from?
"Press! Who are those people bouncing outside? ”
"Back to the Hou Ye, they are all magistrates, they have a history of assassination, don't drive, and there are some county orders, all because of yesterday's incident. The one at the head was Huang Deng, who was also a Buddhist. ”
The officer hurriedly said, Cai Cong squinted his eyes, and the one standing at the front had his eyes closed and his hands folded as if he was reciting some scripture.
"Bring them to me!"
Cai Cong smiled disdainfully and turned to walk towards his tent.
"You butchers, executioners, have killed so many innocent people in one day, and this official will definitely bring you to justice."
Before the people arrived, the angry voices had already entered the camp tents, and these officials were all angry, and their respective yamen were now full of bitter masters, not to mention the official assessment at the end of the year, which was to cut off their future, and they could not sit idly by and ignore the death of the people.
"Marquis Chang'an, I heard that you ordered them to kill civilians? Is there such a thing? ”
As soon as they entered, these officials aimed directly at Cai Cong, who sat upright and pressed the saber on his waist and looked at them coldly.
The other generals also looked at these officials with murderous swords, and as long as Cai Cong gave an order, they drew their knives and chopped them into meat sauce.
"Hmph, it's so majestic, I killed so many innocent people yesterday, do you want to kill us court officials today?"
Literati have their own arrogance, and these officials actually didn't have two trembling but asked Cai Cong with a sneer.
Cai Cong glanced at them in surprise, except for the fact that the face of the assassin was not sad or happy, everyone else was arrogant, and they had the bearing of being generous and calm.
"Ben Hou is ordered to inspect the world, there is no untraceable person in the world, if you have any doubts, you can cut it first and then play, and you can wait to see the angel in front of you Can you ever salute?"
Cai Cong said calmly, and the officials showed expressions of expression, asking them to salute this murderer?
"Thorn Shi Huang Deng greets the angel!"
Just when they were entangled, a calm voice came, and the faces of the officials changed greatly, and they could only bend down and salute helplessly.
Cai Cong listened to it and changed his comfortable posture and began to review military affairs, and a group of soldiers stood like sculptures, and it didn't take long for those poor officials to feel that their waists were sore and swollen, and sweat was dripping down their chins to the ground.
Each of them drenched Cai Cong's scolded dog blood in their hearts, but they were helpless, if they met the Marquis of Chang'an to make a salute, but the angels they met represented the emperor, and the angels didn't let them get up, they couldn't get up.
Time passed little by little, and the faces of those officials turned pale, their bodies trembled involuntarily, and their waists were numb, just holding on.
Finally, after half an hour, Cai Cong put down the pen in his hand and said lightly. Those officials slowly straightened their waists with joy on their faces, but they didn't dare to be too fast, otherwise they were afraid that they would fall into the root of the disease.
"What are you here for today?"
"Lord Hou asked knowingly, some people complained that even if your subordinates wantonly slaughtered civilians yesterday, the lower officials and others came to ask about it?"
