In the early morning, the autumn rain stopped, but the weather was still gloomy and the wind was blowing a little more wildly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Originally, there were more than a dozen corpses piled up in the Qingning Temple, and the blood flowed all over the courtyard, and several monks of the Qingning Temple chanted the corpses excessively, while the remaining monks enshrined the bodies of Qingxin and the two little novices in the Buddha Hall.

Tang Zhou looked at the three corpses in the Buddha Hall, a little sad, a little guilty, if he had the ability, he could save them, but in that case, he really didn't know how to save them.

The sound of the morning bell echoed in the main hall, and the Sanskrit sound entered the ears, making people's hearts slowly calm down, Tang Zhou took one last look at the three corpses on the Buddhist hall, and then turned around and walked out.

The front yard has not been cleaned up, the corpses in the mud are so shocking, when Tang Zhou came to the front yard, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then the gate of Qingning Temple suddenly opened, and a team of officials rushed in in a hurry.

"Thief, where is the thief?"

A man in his forties, who looked slightly thin, shouted loudly as soon as he came in, and as soon as he shouted like this, Tang Zhou, who was already waiting for him, suddenly spoke: "Lord Zheng, the thieves are either dead or fleeing, and the rest are all tied up." ”

The person who came was Zheng Di, the county magistrate of Luoning County, after Tang Zhou poisoned the thief's meal last night, he hurriedly sent someone into the city to inform the county magistrate about the matter here, just in case, and even if the matter here is solved, Zheng Di needs to come to take charge of the aftermath.

Zheng Di had heard of Tang Zhou's reputation and knew Tang Zhou's identity, so when he saw Tang Zhou at this time, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Tang Xiaohou forgives his sins, it's too late for the official to save the driver." ”

Tang Zhou waved his hand and said, "Let your people escort those thieves out." ”

Zheng Di responded again and again, and after a while, the remaining more than 20 thieves were all escorted up, these thieves were all those who had been drugged, and the reason why Tang Zhou asked Li Hu and them not to chase those people was to tie up the remaining thieves, so as not to wake up any of these people and there was no one to protect them here.

When these people were escorted, they already knew what was going on, but they did not show a panicked look, but suddenly gritted their teeth, but when they bit down so suddenly, they found that it was useless.

It was only at this time that they showed a panicked look, they were dead soldiers, and they had long been concerned about life and death, but now they found that they could not die.

Seeing them like this, Tang Zhou smiled: "The poison pill you hid between your teeth has been taken out by us, and if you want to die, you can only bite your tongue and kill yourself, it depends on whether you have this ruthlessness." ”

Throughout the ages, it is very easy to die, the fastest is to take poison, the most unbearable is to bite the tongue and commit suicide, just imagine, how much courage it takes to be able to bite your tongue off, and even if the tongue is bitten off, it may not be able to die for a while.

Even when the dead man is faced with the situation of biting his tongue and committing suicide, he is beating a drum in his heart.

Among these people who were bound, the leader was Zhao Ming, and after he heard Tang Zhou's words, he couldn't help but scold: "Hmph, we won't say anything, and we won't say anything if we kill us." ”

Tang Zhou shrugged: "I won't kill you, I'll watch you bite your tongue and kill yourself, if you don't bite your tongue and kill yourself, I want you to be unable to survive and die." ”

Zhao Ming's heart sank suddenly, when he was in Chang'an City before, Tang Zhou gave people the feeling that he only had the ability, could cook and write words, etc., but he had never heard of his heart being so ruthless.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming knew that being alive was even more uncomfortable, so he was ruthless, bit down, and bit out his tongue, after the tongue was bitten, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and he rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, but he couldn't shout a word.

When the people next to them saw this situation, they couldn't help but shudder, they were dead soldiers, but it is not common to bite their tongues and commit suicide, and now they suddenly see such pain, who would dare to try?

Tang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart when he saw that Zhao Ming dared to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but his face was very flat, and he looked at the rest of the people: "Say, who instructed you to assassinate Ben Hou?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"If you don't say it, Ben Hou will watch you bite your tongue and kill yourself, otherwise Ben Hou will spread rumors, saying that you have confessed, and then we will see if your master will let you go."

When the thieves heard Tang Zhou's words, they suddenly had an urge to cry, they had never met someone as poisonous as Tang Zhou, didn't this force them to bite their tongues and commit suicide?

I've heard of forced confessions before, but haven't you heard of forcing people to bite their tongues and commit suicide?

The thieves glanced at each other, and immediately several more broke their tongues.

Compared with the courage to bite their tongues and commit suicide, their families are the most important, if Tang Zhou really spread the rumors that they have confessed, then the people behind them will definitely not let their family members go.

More than a dozen people committed suicide by biting their tongues, and the remaining few people suddenly couldn't help crying, crying very painfully, very sad, they really didn't know what to do, they were very strange, why did they choose so painfully?

They were about to collapse, they were crawling on the ground crying like they weren't human, and a few of them were incontinent due to fear and stress.

The smell mixed with the smell of blood rushed towards him, Tang Zhou couldn't help but cover his nose, and then frowned with some disgust, and then looked at Zheng Di and said, "Lord Zheng, this smell is terrible, you know what to do, right?" ”

Zheng Di was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask, the expression on his face was very tangled and embarrassed, and after such a long time, he asked carefully: "What does the little marquis mean?" ”

"It smells bad, just kill it."

"Kill...... Killed? Zheng Di was a little surprised, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, even if a person really committed a capital crime, he could only be killed after the approval of the Holy Lord Li Shimin, those people committed suicide just now, he couldn't control it, but now these people who have not committed suicide, how can they take people's lives casually?

Tang Zhou was so surprised when he saw Zheng Di, and said: "Since Lord Zheng refuses to kill, then these people will be handed over to you for trial, this Hou Ye's request is very simple, you must try the people behind the scenes, and then report to the capital Chang'an, if you can't judge the people behind the scenes, you will be responsible for the assassination of Ben Hou in your territory, and then you will be punished by this Hou Ye I don't know, all of them will be handed over to the saint to deal with." ”

After Tang Zhou finished speaking, he couldn't help but wave his hand on the tip of his nose, as if he wanted to wave away the unpleasant smell, after Zheng Di recovered from the shock, he immediately changed his words and said: "What the little marquis said is very true, since the smell of these people is unpleasant, then they should be killed, you can rest assured, the lower official will order someone to kill them." ”

Zheng Di said, and immediately waved his hand, asking those officials to cut these thieves to death.
