Chapter 423: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

Everyone was then taken to a clearing outside the castle. This is where the owner of the castle used to punish the criminals! It was here that the former Sultan of Gur executed the descendants of the Gochenin dynasty.

Palm-sized stones, scattered on the soft sand. Its water chestnut horns are distinct and the color is deep, which makes people instinctively resist when they look at it.

Dantour was taken to the middle of the sand, and three or two guards were digging holes with their hands and feet.

It was only then that Dantour finally felt scared.

Because of this kind of place, he also ordered someone to get one in Gicini. Many pagans who disobeyed his will and did not believe in religion. They were all half-buried in the sand and stoned.

In Muslim teaching, death by stoning leads to hell. As a follower of Allah, he prefers to go to heaven to serve Allah rather than the dark and terrifying hell.

So immediately struggled, shouting in horror: "No! You can't do this to me! Allah will not forgive you! ”。

He was so tough before, because of sectarian hostility. also has a deep unwillingness in his heart.

After all, he has been waiting for the position of Sultan for many years. It was not until the death of the previous sultan that he took the southeastern territory of the Ghor kingdom in one fell swoop with the guards under his control. So if possible, he will never give up the power and status he has.

So at first, he was unwilling to cooperate with the cathars to persuade him to surrender. Even if his finger was cut, he gritted his teeth and insisted on reinforcements to save himself.

But upon learning of Gizzini's surrender, he understood that the tide had turned. He began to learn from Bel Udin, trying his best to cooperate with the cathars so that he could live longer.

But it's different from Ber-Udin!

He wasn't afraid of death. Gou is alive just to wait for a chance to be ashamed.

But seeing Li Chengji today, he could no longer hide the anger in his heart.

Because he didn't want to admit that he had lost at the hands of such a young hairy boy.

When Bel Udin and others wagged their tails and begged for mercy, they became uncharacteristically tough.

It's a pity that his hardness was exchanged for almost cursed stoning.

"Why not? You are obsessed with Allah's teachings and deserve to go to hell! Li Chengji said, and the guard pushed it into the hole. After two strokes, he buried it from the waist down.

This is according to the Shari'ah. The person who was stoned to the woman's chest down and the man's waist down was buried in the sand. It began as early as the Umayyad dynasty and has been passed down to the present day. In the Hereafter, it applies only to adulterers of both sexes.

On the territory of Khorasan, such means of punishment were reserved. It's just that the executioners can only be the government, not the common people. Otherwise, it would be considered intentional murder.

Therefore, the 'honor killing' that was common in the Muslim region in later generations was strictly forbidden in Khorasan.

This has also become a favorable 'ironclad evidence' for many religious elders who are hostile to Puritanism to criticize the declining world of Khorasan.

"No, it's not! I am a devout believer in Allah, the Sultan of the country of Ghul, you cannot do this to me! Dantour was a little hoarse.

Li Chengji looked at it coldly, picked up a stone from the ground, and said coldly: "Go to hell!" ”。

There was a thud, and the stone smashed firmly into Dantour's head. A mouthful of blood also appeared on his forehead.

The onlookers who surrendered to the army and the generals were also under the watchful eyes of the cathars, and they picked up the stones one after another and threw them at Dantour.

By the time the first round was over, Dantour was bleeding and covered in blood. But a pair of eyes were still wide open, but there was not much brilliance left.

"Push out what you didn't throw away!" , Li Chengji said in a solemn voice.

I saw the guards pushing the demoted generals who did not throw stones one by one into the middle of the clearing. Li Chengji counted, there were only seven people, which is not much.

"Are you going to follow Dantour to hell?" After Li Chengji finished speaking, the guards began to dig holes around Dantour.

"No, no, no..." There were also people crying and begging for mercy. Only Farah was the first, and his face remained unchanged and said, "Lord of the country." You said that if you don't kill the Sultan, why do you go back on your word? ”。

He still couldn't do anything to Dantour. So when others threw stones, he only closed his eyes so that he could feel better.

"Governor of Qiyu, this man is the lord of the city of Gitzni, and he is a confidant of Dantour. In order to persuade him to surrender, Weichen promised him not to kill Dantour in exchange for him to lay down his weapon. Li Wei listened, and hurriedly explained in front of Li Chengji.

It was expedient at the time, and it was indeed possible not to count.

After all, Dantour and them are already fish on a sticky board. Therefore, the cathars can do whatever they want to get them.

Li Wei didn't really want to keep his promise, so when Li Chengji wanted to execute Dantur, he didn't come forward to stop him.

Of course, this is also the result of Dantour's own death.

"Well---", Li Chengji replied, frowning. All the people present were thinking about it, and they didn't dare to make a move. Ravasso in the crowd had a bitter face, sighing secretly for Faraday's disobedience.

"Since the head of the ten thousand households promised you, then this matter will be counted." After saying that, he ordered left and right: "Pull Dantour up, and order the healer to take a look." If you still have a living head, let's take a good look at it. ”。

Speaking of this, Li Chengji's tone changed again, and he rushed at the seven people who were driven out: "As for you, if you despise the monarch's authority, you deserve death." But the true God is above, and I will not stone you. ”。

"Ask the lord of the country to be gracious and spare the villain!" , except for Faraday, the six people all cried in a panic.

"But your loyalty to the old master can be demonstrated, and you will be spared death." , Li Chengji pointed at Faraday, and then a guard put down the raised butcher knife.

I heard a few screams, and the sound of begging for mercy stopped abruptly. On the soft sand, there were also six more dead bodies.

Lavaso, who was watching from the side, saw that Faraday was still stunned, and hurriedly urged: "Don't thank the lord for his great kindness!" ”。

Only then did Lavaso react. hurriedly lowered his head and thanked Li Chengji for his grace of not killing.

In the end, no one wants to die. Although Dantour had the grace of knowing him, the refusal to throw stones and intercede just now was enough to pay it back. So now, there was no need for him to swear to Dantour.

Speaking of which, in fact, he had expected that after surrendering, Dantour's life would be in danger. But at that time, there was really no other way but to surrender. Moreover, Dantour has many cronies in the army, and if he is too ruthless, he will not want to master the most elite guards in the future.

It's also that he thinks long-term! Knowing that after surrendering to the cathars, Khorasan would never abandon the most elite guards in the territory of Gur. And in order to buy people's hearts, they will also retain many officials and generals.

Therefore, he thought selfishly and bought the military heart of the Guards and became its commander. In order to surrender to Khorasan, he can go further.

Obviously, his loyalty is also conditional!
