In February of the first year of Zhongping in the Han Empire, Ma Yuanyi, Feng Zhen, and Xu Feng were arrested, and soon several people confessed that Taiping Dao should start troops in March of the first year of Zhongping. Ma Yuanyi specially rushed to Luoyang from the land of Jingyang, and when he contacted Feng Zhen to prepare for an uprising, the righteous army could raid the palace at the first time and take Luoyang City.

In the Jiade Palace, Liu Hong sat on the imperial chair, the ministers in the palace were lined up neatly, He Jin stood in front and said impassionedly, "The matter of Taiping Dao must not be tolerated, the minister suggested that Ma Yuanyi and Feng Yu should be split immediately, and the rest of the servants should be beheaded to show the public, and the three clans will be razed."

Liu Hong was noncommittal, "What do you think?" ”

Liu Hong's words fell, and the ministers in the hall all exchanged their heads and discussed, and one of the ministers came out with a jade wat and said, "The minister thinks what the general said is inappropriate."

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Cai Yong. Cai Yongzi Bo Jiao, around forty years old, from the Confucian school, the character is high and arrogant, during the Xiping period because of the criticism of the ten permanent servants was assigned to the land of Youyan, and later met the amnesty, was recruited by the imperial court to be a Huangmenlang.

Cai Yong opened his mouth and said, "Now the people are complaining, the roots are in the imperial court, killing these Taoists will only intensify the contradictions between the people everywhere and the imperial court, and the minister thinks that only the first evil should be punished, and other Taoists should be punished lightly."

After Cai Yong finished speaking, one of the civil officials came out and said, "The minister thinks what Lord Cai said is extremely true" The speaker was Wang Yun, who served the imperial history, and Cai Yong was both from Confucianism.

He Jin frowned and said, "Two adults, you are a woman's kindness."

Cai Yong, Wang Yun and He Jin went toe-for-tat, Wang Yun said, "Such an implication will inevitably push the Taiping Road and the unrelated people in various states onto the road that must be opposed"

The whole hall was noisy, Liu Hong sat on the imperial chair and calmly looked at the civil and military in the hall, like a vegetable market quarrel, and finally he coughed twice and said, "Don't quarrel, what kind of system are you waiting for?" ”

The ministers fell silent

Liu Hong opened his mouth and said, "Xuan Zhen's will: Ma Yuanyi, the leader of the Taiping Dao bandits, and the Chang Shi Feng Zhen intended to rebel, and the car will be split at noon tomorrow, and the other Taiping Dao people will be beheaded to show the public." In addition, it was ordered that all states and counties should make every effort to arrest the Taiping Dao bandits, Zhang Jiao and others."

After Liu Hong issued a series of orders

Cai Yong was about to say something, but Wang Yun dragged the corner of his clothes and retreated, Liu Hong was a little tired, he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, it's nothing, just retreat from the court"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"

The ministers pushed the mountain and the pillars, and after Liu Hong left, the ministers got up and went down to the court.

On the way, Cai Yong frowned and said to Wang Yun, "Why did you drag me just now, Your Majesty is playing with fire."

Wang Yun shook his head and looked around and said, "Bo Jiao, for these rebellious people, they have not destroyed the three clans, they are already extrajudicial favors, you know, how can Your Majesty tolerate these people who want to kill themselves to live, even if they don't act, but they think"

Cai Yong sighed and said, "In this way, the world will be chaotic."

On the second day, Nanshi was surrounded by many people, this is the place where the empire executes for felons, this day a team of thousands of soldiers surrounded this place early, the first person is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao commanded the soldiers to surround the execution platform of the execution ground, and it didn't take long for the general He Jin to appear on a tall horse, and He Jin's fat body looked a little ridiculous on the horse. finally came to the execution ground, and came to the execution table with a big belly. Many people in Luoyang heard that there was going to be a car crack here, and many onlookers came.

The so-called car crack is to tie people to five cars, put horses on them, and pull them in different directions, so that the person's body is torn into six pieces, so it is called car cracking. Sometimes, when this kind of punishment is carried out, the car is not used, but the five oxen or horses are directly used to pull it, so the car split is commonly known as the five oxen or five horses to divide the corpse. It takes a lot of effort to cut off a person's head and limbs, let alone pulling. The suffering of the inmates is even more conceivable. When it is really torn open, I am afraid that the inmate will no longer feel pain. The pain is when it's being pulled.

Because the criminal law of car splitting is too cruel, it is rarely used, and the people in Luoyang City have violated the entire execution ground.

It didn't take long for Ma Yuanyi and Feng Yubian to be brought over. Ma Yuanyi glanced at Feng Yu with some astonishment, he didn't say Feng Zhen's name in the edict, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Feng Zhen sneered: "I'm going to die, what are you pretending to do?" My identity is known to a few of you, who else can I have if you didn't betray me? ”

There was a huge panic in Ma Yuanyi's heart, he thought that he was just betrayed by some small leaders in the Dao, he was tortured in the edict and did not say the name of Feng Zhen, that is, he hoped that Feng Zhen could be the unexpected chess piece, when he came, the great sage and good teacher once told himself that Feng Zhen was marked by him in his mind, it was a chess piece hidden in the shadows, except for a few people who knew that there was no one else, who betrayed himself and betrayed Feng Zhen? Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind, Ma Yuanyi had a hideous face and roared in a low voice, "Tang Zhou! ”

I don't know what the reason is, the great sage and good master issued a hunt and kill order to this former disciple, but after so much time, there was no news from Tang Zhou, everyone thought he was dead, but they didn't expect him to be still alive, and he told the Han court all about the Taiping Dao.

Ma Yuanyi was thinking of a plan when several armor soldiers pushed him to the ground, a rope was put around his neck, and his limbs were also strapped. Ma Yuanyi struggled twice, in exchange for a burst of punches and kicks from the armor.

He Jin sat behind a few cases, this time he personally supervised the sentence, he looked up at the sky, took out a token from the few cases in front of him and threw it on the ground, "Noon has arrived, execution!" ”

"Drive!"

The five horses ran in five directions, and in an instant, Ma Yuanyi's entire body was dragged into the air, and the huge pulling force made Ma Yuanyi feel painful, but he couldn't make a sound, the horses were constantly whipped, Ma Yuanyi's face was blue, and his eyes burst out.

"Click"

An arm was torn off,

"Click"

One leg flew out

"Click"

A skull floated out, fell to the ground and rolled a few times, spun and rolled outside the execution ground, and the people looked at this bloody scene, especially the pair of violent eyes on the skull, and they all retreated in fright. There was only one exception, this person stood in front of the head, looked at the head in front of him a little distracted, and sighed in a low voice and gently picked up Ma Yuanyi's head. I couldn't see the expression clearly under the black cloth.

Feng Zhen was already a little paralyzed with fright next to him, he knelt on the ground and looked at He Jin and said, "General, general, for the sake of the past, you can change a criminal law for me, okay?"

He Jin sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the armor soldiers also fiddled with the seal.

The struggles and wails of the seal are all in vain,

"Click"

Everything was quiet, the huge execution ground was silent, and He Jin's laughter was a little terrifying at this moment.

The two first offenders died, and the rest were beheading, one by one, one by one, one by one, the stubble fell, and on that day, the entire execution ground killed 2,000 people, and the beheading knives were changed several times, and the crimson blood stained the entire execution field into a world of blood.

The blood spilled to Tang Zhou's feet, Tang Zhou was in a trance, what did I do, trembling hands, holding my head, crying silently.

The previous step is hell, and the step back is also hell, and he suddenly remembered what Dian Wei once said to him, "My mother said that the human heart is more terrible than a beast"

Cao Cao, dressed in black, appeared behind Tang Zhou, looking at the silently crying man in front of him, Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, "Life and death of a person, just get used to it"

Tang Zhou looked at Cao Cao and said word by word: "Didn't you say that only the first evil will be punished?" ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "This is already an extrajudicial grace, you must know that those who plot against the nine clans should destroy the nine clans, this is the law of the country"

"Hahaha" Tang Zhou looked up to the sky and laughed, his body staggered and left this execution ground full of fishy smell, he laughed at his innocence, laughed at this helpless world, if there is really a national law to rely on, why did they rebel?

Cao Cao looked at Tang Zhou's figure, how much sadness was revealed in this figure, maybe the sorrow was greater than the death of the heart.

Cao Cao set his sights on the execution ground, and there were people all over the ground, like hell.

In February of the first year of Zhongping in the Han Empire, Ma Yuanyi and Feng Zhen were killed by a car, and the rest of the people were beheaded. At that time, blood gushed like a spring, and the skulls were all over the ground, and the blood was permeated for months. Some people nearby said that every night, they would hear the sound of crying, and people would be panicked for a while.

On the same day, several horsemen in the imperial capital Luoyang City galloped away, and the states and counties began to arrest and Taiping Daoists.

Tang Zhou, who was dressed in plain clothes, appeared in front of the general He Jin, and Tang Zhou whispered, "It's a matter here, Zhou please retire"

He Jin drank the wine in the cup and said, "Where is the Taoist master going?" ”

Tang Zhou said, "In the past, Zhou was injured by a great sage and good teacher, and was teleported to the Chenliu Mountain, and was rescued by one person, and Zhou has not yet repaid the grace of saving his life."

"Oh," He Jin said, "There is such a thing, then it's okay," He Jin summoned the guards to "get some silver for the Taoist master"

Tang Zhou excused himself and said, "The general is kind and Zhou Xin has received it, but it is useless."

"Hey, don't be polite to the Taoist Master" He Jin said with a smile, "If there is no Taoist Master for you, Ma Yuanyi, the Confession Disciple has almost become a big deal, and you deserve this silver"

The guards placed the silver in front of Tang Zhou, and after Tang Zhou heard He Jin's words, his body trembled, and finally he accepted the silver.

It was night Tang Zhou rode out of Luoyang City towards Chen Liu, this day Tang Zhou traveled to Xiaoxi Village, Tang Zhou came here on purpose, he came to the place where the old man lived, but Tang Zhou did not see the old man, the door of the house where the old man lived was locked, Tang Zhou asked the neighbors, it turned out that the old man had passed away a month ago, and the old man was hastily buried in a mound in the west of the village because he had no relatives.

Tang Zhou came to the place where the old man was buried in a trance, looking at the small tomb in front of him, Tang Zhou was a little vain, Tang Zhou knelt on the ground and cried, "Why did you die?" ”

Tang Zhou has an indescribable sense of intimacy with the old man, and when he left, he promised the old man to help him retire and send him to the end of his life, but some people will say goodbye forever after parting, this is life.

Tang Zhou left Xiaoxi Village and entered the Death Mountain, watching people go to the empty wooden house, Tang Zhou sighed heavily, he came to the top of the mountain, looked at the scenery outside the mountain and said to himself, "In the past, I persuaded you to go out, but now that you are gone, I am back, maybe what your mother said is right, the hearts of people outside are really more terrible than the beasts here"

The spring breeze blows, all things recover, after a long time, there are gradually people in the Death Mountain, the Death Mountain is not called the Death Mountain anymore, but is called the Immortal Mountain by the locals, there is a black cloth masked immortal living in the mountain, the story of the immortal curing the disease and saving people is widely spread in the local area, this legend is very wide, very wide.
