Section 14: Murder and punishment

Xu Heyu looked at the dense ironclad soldiers around him, knowing that he was bound to die here, and said secretly in his heart: "I hate that Shen Zhi is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he actually escaped from the battle, if he is a little bloody and coerces these villagers with me, he will definitely be able to disperse these officers and soldiers!" Hateful! Hateful! ”

At this time, Lu Ying saw that Xu Heyu was standing there without saying a word, and asked loudly, "What's your name?" Who is the Smelling Cult? Say it! ”

Xu Heyu sneered, looking at Lu Ying's expression was still very contemptuous, and said, "I am Xu Heyu, the helmsman of the sect!" It's a godson to be trapped here today by you eagle dogs of the imperial court! But don't be complacent, there are countless members of my Holy Sect, and one day they will surely sweep the world! ”

Liu Yunwei rode his horse to the front of the formation, looked coldly at Xu Heyu, who was getting more and more excited, and saw that his body was covered with blood, so he asked, "You killed someone?" Who are you killing! ”

"Haha, the embodiment of a demon!" Xu Heyu shouted loudly, his expression was almost crazy, and said, "That mother and son are my sacrifice to the Holy Sect, that is, ...... Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Yunwei angrily pick up the strong bow, raise his hand and shoot an arrow at Xu Heyu's shoulder, shooting him directly to the ground.

Looking at Xu Heyu, who was lying on the ground and wailing, Liu Yunwei's heart was extremely angry, and he roared: "I think you are the devil!" You smell incense and go around confusing the people and creating trouble, and now in order to incite the villagers to kill innocent women and children, it is simply mad! ”

"Haha, I'm just crazy, what can you do to me! Only those who truly believe in the Holy Religion are my brothers and sisters, and the rest of those who have not joined the Church are demons, and you all have to die! ”

Liu Yunwei also wanted to scold Xu Heyu, who was already crazy, and Sun Yuanhua on the side stepped forward and pulled Liu Yunwei and said: "Mr. Liu Qian, I think it's over, this person has lost his mind and gone crazy, and it makes no sense for us to reason with him." ”

"Humph! If that's the case, then I'll send him on his way. Liu Yunwei said angrily: "Behead these Smelling Fragrance Sect members on the spot!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Kaishan and Wang Dangdang, who were already furious, rushed up with people, knocked Xu Heyu and more than a dozen subordinates to the ground, and cut them directly on the spot. The bloody scene frightened the hundreds of villagers on the side, whose faces turned pale and trembled, and none of them dared to speak out for fear that they would be the next to be killed.

Seeing that Xu Heyu and those people had been executed, Liu Yunwei was still puzzled, and said to Lu Ying: "Put the heads of these people into a Jingguan, and set up a monument, and write it: Where the Smell Fragrance Cult is punished!" ”

Lu Ying on the side nodded and beckoned his subordinates to make arrangements. Liu Yunwei looked at the villagers again, and couldn't help but think of the scene of accompanying Xu Heyu to attack the soldiers just now; and when Xu Heyu brutally killed the boy's mother and son, none of the people in the village stepped forward to stop him, and he felt extremely disdainful in his heart, and even felt disgusted.

At this time, Lu Ying, who had finished arranging things, came over and said to Liu Yunwei: "Big brother, what should these villagers do?" ”

Liu Yunwei thought for a moment and said: "These people are all members of the Wenxiang Sect, and they also attacked my Hanwei battalion formation, although the crime does not lead to death, but the living crime cannot escape!" ”

At this time, Sun Yuanhua coughed and said to Liu Yunwei: "Mr. Liu Qian, can you take a step to speak?" ”

"Oh?" Liu Yunwei was just about to deal with those villagers, but when he saw that Sun Yuanhua had something to say, he walked to the side with him and asked, "What advice does Mr. Sun have?" ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Mr. Liu Qian, I think these villagers are still of some use, can you not dispose of them first?" ”

Liu Yunwei thought for a while and said: "What these villagers have done is really hateful, if they are not dealt with, I am afraid that the soldiers will have opinions." I wonder what Mr. Sun thinks? ”

"Murder and heart!"

"Murderous?" Liu Yunwei was a little puzzled and asked, "What does Mr. Sun mean?" ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Dealing with this cult is no better than any other, if we just blindly kill, it will be difficult to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, because the backbone of the Wenxiang Sect will always preach, and there will always be people who believe in the cult for various reasons." Therefore, we not only want to kill the people and horses of the Wenxiang Sect, but also destroy their cult hearts! ”

Liu Yunwei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "What Mr. Sun said is too good, if you deal with the Wenxiang Sect like this, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!" Just how? ”

"That's where the villagers need to cooperate with us." Sun Yuanhua said with a smile: "We can spread the news that the Wenxiang Sect will kill all the non-believers and take all the property of the non-believers for themselves." In this way, those who do not believe in religion or are not very firm will stand on the opposite side of the Smelling Fragrance Sect and isolate the Smelling Fragrance Sect to the greatest extent. Even if the Smelling Fragrance Sect is forced to have no way out, maybe it will be desperate, in that case, we will be able to fight and die! ”

Liu Yunwei thought carefully about Sun Yuanhua's words, and said with a smile after a while: "Mr. Sun is so scheming!" That's it. ”

After that, Liu Yunwei called Lu Ying over, explained Sun Yuanhua's strategy, and then said: "You said to those villagers: Wenxiang Sect wants to kill all the non-believers, plunder everyone's property, and say that Wenxiang Sect is a demon and a monster, and then let those people spread the news." ”

Lu Ying said with some hesitation: "Big brother, how can we guarantee that those villagers will listen to us?" When we're gone, what if they don't get these words out there? ”

Liu Yunwei was slightly stunned and looked at Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult, just let those villagers believe what we say." ”

Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying looked at each other, still very dazed.

Sun Yuanhua laughed when he saw this, and said, "It's Sun who said it clearly." Yes, those villagers are illiterate people, and generally illiterate people have an innate sense of awe and trust in readers. Therefore, we just need to find a local reader, take the words we have written, and read them to those villagers, and say that it is a secret letter that we found out from the members of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and I think those villagers will definitely believe it. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Liu Yunwei asked.

Lu Ying also said in disbelief: "Can this work?" ”

"It will work." Sun Yuanhua said affirmatively: "Maybe I don't have any talent in arranging troops and governing the country and the country, but for this person's heart, I still have some eyesight, after all, the experience of running around for so many years is not in vain." ”

Liu Yunwei nodded and said, "Okay, just do what Mr. Sun wants." Lu Ying, you have led someone to handle this matter. ”

Lu Ying took the order.

Liu Yunwei looked up at the sky and said, "It seems that we can only go here today." Then they let the villagers go home, but they all set up camp on the spot, and surrounded the whole village, so that not a single fly could fly out.

Soon, in the evening, Lu Ying found a teacher from a nearby town.

The teaching gentleman looked like he was in his fifties, polite and polite, and after seeing Liu Yunwei, he bowed deeply and said, "I don't know what the general has to tell the old man to come to?" ”

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "There is Mr. Lao, it's like this......"

After a few polite words, Liu Yunwei explained the situation in detail, and finally asked, "I wonder if the old gentleman can help?" ”

The teacher smiled bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: "It's all here, what else can I say?" However, his face was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he said: "The general doesn't need to say it, since the old man is here, he is here to share the general's worries." The Wenxiang Sect has been in Shandong for some years, and it has always been making trouble everywhere, making all parts of the country restless, and now the general wants to eliminate harm for the people, and the old man should fully support it! ”

"Mr. Gaoyi." Liu Yunwei was overjoyed and said, "I have drafted a letter, so I will have Mr. Lao on it." ”

The teacher took the letter, read it from beginning to end, and said, "Without further ado, the old man will enter the village." ”

"Okay, I'll have the old gentleman go in." After speaking, Liu Yunwei arranged for Lu Ying to take the old scholar to the village.

It didn't take long for there to be bursts of shouts in the village, and the villagers shouted and scolded the Wenxiang Sect for all kinds of wrongs, as if they had been at odds with the Wenxiang Sect from the beginning, and they all forgot that they were still attacking the official army with Xu Heyu and others during the day.

I saw the teacher say loudly: "Now that everyone is clear about the ugly face of the Wenxiang Sect, then everyone must tell their relatives and friends about this, and make all the atrocities of the Wenxiang Sect public and the world!" ”

I saw that hundreds of villagers were all filled with righteous indignation, and they all said that they would tell the behavior of the Wenxiang Sect so that everyone in Shandong would know about it. The teaching gentleman secretly glanced at Lu Ying, and when he saw Lu Ying nodding slightly, he slowly withdrew from the crowd, walked out of the village in a flash, and returned to Liu Yunwei's Chinese army tent under the guidance of the soldiers.

Seeing that the matter had been completed, Liu Yunwei gave the teacher ten taels of silver, and arranged for someone to send him back the next day, and the teacher bowed to Liu Yunwei with great gratitude, and then followed the soldiers out of the big tent and went to rest elsewhere.

After teaching Mr. Teach, Liu Yunwei said to Sun Yuanhua: "Today's incident is thanks to Mr. Sun. ”

"Where, the main thing is to deal with the soldiers properly, and I just move my mouth." Sun Yuanhua said humbly.

The two talked for a while, and Liu Yunwei asked: "Mr. Sun, we will continue to rush to Jinan tomorrow, I don't know what kind of person is that senior member?" ”
