Chapter 48: Purging the Cronies
Under the angry gaze of Jieli Khan, some of these escorted people seemed to understand the situation, and their heads were wilted, and they remained motionless. Some of them resisted stubbornly, wanted to break free, and shouted in disobedience.
"Khan, what do you mean! Why arrest us! A few people roared, completely losing the majestic appearance just now, but with an embarrassed demeanor, their hair was taunting, their eyes were full of resentment, as if they were going to be eaten alive, and the whites of their eyes were instantly swollen with blood.
"Why? You're asking me why? Jieli Khan asked unhurriedly, and there was arrogance between the words, not at all deterred by these traitors with the heart of tigers and wolves, but a little more calm and composed, and he didn't seem to care. The corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, as if he is laughing and is also ruthless, like a smile but not a smile, which makes people unable to figure it out. What sin did Jieli Khan want to punish them?
"What do you want to do with Lu Gelie's little abacus to hit this king's head? Rebellion? Jieli Khan stood up violently and kicked over the table in front of him, the violent anger was rampant, and the scene was chaotic, which really made the people below tremble and shudder. Although these are Turkic old men, some of them have even served the Khans of the Three Dynasties, and they have seen many big scenes, but like today, the scene of lifting the table and lifting the bench, if something big didn't happen, who could turn their faces like this and not give their subordinates a name?
"Khan, we didn't have any calculations!" One of them yelled, feeling wronged, wanting to plead, and putting on a posture that it didn't matter to him.
"None? I heard all the things you said in the camp two days ago in Rugret! The Khan continued to roar, as if full of anger, unabated. Gasp.
"We are just talking about things, is it that when we talk about some national righteousness, we are going to rebel?" The man was still unconvinced.
"National righteousness? National righteousness to be sworn to support? Jieli Khan asked rhetorically, choking on the guy's words.
"This ......" The man couldn't answer, and immediately wilted, and said no more, which was considered to be resigned to his fate. If it weren't for Jieli Khan's arrest, I'm afraid this group of people would still have to quibble. Bao Buqi stabbed him in the back and did something else.
"Humph! Why don't you say it? Do you have nothing to say, or do you admit it? Jieli Khan asked, as if he had issued an ultimatum to this group, and his tone was mixed with Wang Zhi's contempt, as if he was going to take the lives of these thieves in the next second.
"Khan, we can die, but I beg you not to harm our family!" The thieves made their last pleadings, desperate to hold on to the last glimmer of hope. Because in the Turks, and even in all other countries, the crime of treason is to implicate the people, and if he does not ask the Khan for pardon now, I am afraid that his relatives will suffer. Inevitably, disaster will spread.
"You think lightly, but at this point, you still think about your relatives?" Jieli Khan said playfully, it seems that he does not buy this man's account, and will never agree to his request. In the history of the royal family, there are too many tragedies of being exterminated and killed after several generations because of the revenge of the killing, and the reason why the king wants to destroy his relatives is to prevent this kind of thing from happening and harm his children and grandchildren. Jieli Khan is naturally no exception, he doesn't want his family to be wiped out a hundred years later, dig up the ancestral grave, and whip the corpse.
"So you don't agree?" The man saw that Jieli Khan did not retreat, and the meaning revealed in his words seemed to have given an answer, and he was afraid that none of the relatives behind them would be able to escape. All of them have to be implicated and killed for their own indiscretion and betrayal.
"Female dependents, they are slaves in the army, and all the men are beheaded! Sacrifice the flag! Jieli Khan spoke sharply and showed no mercy. In such a matter as rebellion, there can be no mention of benevolence and righteousness.
"You're so ruthless! You thief who has misled the country will not die well! Immortal Heaven will punish you! ...... "Following the orders of the Khan of Jieli, all these men were dragged out of the tent and escorted to the court to prepare for execution.
"It doesn't matter if the Immortal Heaven punishes me, as long as the Turkic people can enjoy peace and tranquility, I will not be in vain in the mission of this Khan King!" With the words of praise and virtue, Jieli Khan took a step and walked out of the tent.
……
The scorching sun bakes the somewhat cracked yellow earth. Jieli Khan sat on the main seat of the court, and on his left and right were the elders and patriarchs of other cronies. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a deterrent, and he is the Khan who wants these remaining relatives or close ministers to see what happens to these people who betray him.
Rugerith knelt on the side, watching these tortured fellows. He was not tortured, but he was tortured. As the second father of the Khan, the great shaman of the entire tribe, if it weren't for these identities, I am afraid that he would inevitably be stabbed in the neck today.
After the prison officer read out the indictment, he took the roll call in turn! The voice resounded throughout the Dharma field with a murderous aura, as if it wanted to extinguish these helpless lives and lead to the sad song of Huangquan.
"Puff ......" one after another, one after another, each severed head was like a deflated ball, helplessly rolling in front of him, and finally spread on the ground, oozing blood and brains.
Every time a human head is cut off, the people who are watching are all frightened in their hearts, and even some are terrified, the erect hairs stand on their bodies, and goosebumps immediately spread all over their bodies. This succession of bursts really made people feel intimidated, and they did not dare to offend the Khan's mind again.
When the last human head hit the ground, Rugret fell to his knees tremblingly, because it was his small thought that so many lives had been harmed and turned into a cold corpse. He fell into a deep self-reproach, unable to let go, and even more resentment towards Jieli Khan. Human life cannot be repaid, the dead cannot be renewed, and the debts of these people will be borne by him from now on! Whether it's money or the continuation of the value of life, Rugrette wants revenge!
He wants to let this Jieli Khan, who has not yet grown hair, be punished as he deserves! He wants Jieli Khan to bury these guys who are loyal to him and gave their lives! He was planning a deal with Yuan Tiangang in his heart, he began to enter the Demon Dao, life is no longer his lonely obsession, but more like a contract formed with these dead guys, he wants to live in place of these people, so that he can have a chance to take revenge in the future.
Yuan Tiangang was hiding in the camp tent at this time, not daring to show up, for fear that someone would recognize him and cut him by the way. Although he has some stunts, he was injured by Li Chunfeng one after another, and I am afraid that now he has only half a life left. If you toss again, I'm afraid that you will only end up with a scattered soul.
He's moved from the front of the stage to behind the scenes. The Turks have pulled Rugret, a stubborn old guy, into their camp.
