Chapter 172: Slaughtering the Village
Ji Xian also wanted to persuade Gao Huaiyuan to give up, but when he saw the murderous aura emanating from Gao Huaiyuan's body, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and after a slight pause, he stood behind Gao Huaiyuan and shook his head at Liu Er, and nodded and turned around and walked to another cabin.

Liu Er saw that Ji Xiancheng had something to say to him, so she followed Ji Xiancheng to another cabin, and said eagerly: "Mr. Ji, my family official is in a bad mood today, I am afraid that he will do evil things when he goes to the fishing village, Mr. should persuade him!" ā
Ji Xiancheng shook his head and said, "Madame, don't persuade him, let him go!" Although you get along day and night, I'm afraid that Mrs. doesn't know him better than the old man, and it is not easy to be in the capital in the past few years! He was originally a person with an upright temperament, but in order to be able to do great things, he did not hesitate to endure humiliation and burden all day long, and he lived a cautious life for several years, and I am afraid that he would not be able to bear it for a long time as an ordinary person!
Huaiyuan was originally kind-hearted, and he thought about the Song people everywhere, he didn't ask the people to support him and praise him, but he didn't want the people to misunderstand him, he couldn't say this on weekdays, and he had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, and today he was attacked by these foolish people, and he was injured, no wonder he was suddenly so violent, just let him attack once! Otherwise, after a long time, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it!
As for what he wants to do, I don't have to ask, if he does something excessive, I can only blame the fools themselves! Madam, it's not easy to be far away! ā
After listening to Ji Xiancheng's words, Liu Er was also silent, turned around silently and went out, offering a pot of fragrant tea to Gao Huaiyuan, hoping to calm Gao Huaiyuan's anger.
But Gao Huaiyuan didn't know why he was so angry at this time, and ordered the boat to rush towards the fishing village of these chaotic people, and approached the shore of the lake before dark, Gao Huaiyuan asked people to send his horse off the boat, turned over and led a group of soldiers to rush towards a fishing village.
Smoke has risen from the fishing village, many small fishing boats are docked on the small pier of the fishing village, and some fishermen's homes are crying.
After Gao Huaiyuan arrived at the fishing village with his troops, someone immediately saw their appearance, and fled into the village in panic and screamed, Gao Huaiyuan looked sideways at these small fishing boats on the dock, and immediately recognized that among these fishing boats were the ships that participated in today's attack on him, and some of the boats still had short arrows on them.
"Kill me into the village, catch and behead all the thieves who attacked my official today, and those who dare to resist will be killed immediately!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately ordered with a fierce look on his face.
Li Ruohu's guards only listened to Gao Huaiyuan's orders, as for good and evil, it was not a matter for them to consider, and today Gao Huaiyuan almost died at the hands of these chaotic people, which also made them hold their breath, and after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's orders, Li Ruohu immediately led his troops to roar and rushed into the village.
There was a cry and cry in the village, and soon there was the sound of fighting, Gao Huaiyuan's face was as pale as ice, and he slowly rode his horse forward, and followed his own soldiers into the village.
At this time, there was already a great chaos in the village, panicked people ran everywhere, some fishermen picked up harpoons, knives and guns, and tried to stop these officers and soldiers, but they were the opponents of the officers and soldiers on the shore, Li Ruohu took the lead, killed people when they saw them, and cut down people when they saw them, and a corpse fell where the officers and soldiers passed.
Moreover, the officers and soldiers also divided their troops to surround the fishing village, and whenever anyone tried to escape, they would be cut down with a knife, and after a while, the resistance in the fishing village stopped, and only the helpless cries of the women and children in the village remained.
Under the search of the officers and soldiers, more than a dozen fishermen were tied up and escorted to the open space in the middle of the fishing village, and then more women and children from the fishing village were also driven here, and the officers and soldiers held them around the open space, Gao Huaiyuan rode into the open space, and glanced at the villagers here, and everyone looked at his arrival with frightened eyes.
Gao Huaiyuan had an irrepressible anger in his chest, glanced at the fishermen who were tied up, and asked coldly, "Have you ever interrogated?" Could they have been a part of today's events? ā
Li Ruohu immediately replied: "I have already interrogated, these people are all involved in the ambush of the Lord today!" ā
"Kill!" Gao Huaiyuan gritted his teeth and burst out of his teeth.
After hearing this, the soldiers immediately went up and flashed with a knife light, and in the exclamation of the villagers, more than a dozen headless corpses fell to the ground with blood, and the heads of people rolled everywhere, and the blood immediately dyed the ground a large area of blood red.
The women and children in the village collectively let out earth-shattering cries when they saw their relatives being killed in front of them at this time.
Gao Huaiyuan looked at the scene in front of him coldly, with the killing of these people, the anger in his chest was slightly relieved, and he suddenly asked himself, when did he become so fierce?
At this time, a woman with a cloak suddenly broke out of the crowd and came straight to Gao Huaiyuan, still holding a pair of scissors in her hand, with incomparable hatred on her face, she pounced on Gao Huaiyuan with scissors like a ghost, and screamed sharply from her mouth: "I fought with you, a dog official!" You killed my man, you killed my uncle, and I'm going to kill you today!" ā
Gao Huaiyuan just began to calm down a little, and was immediately angered by this crazy woman, when he was about to draw the knife, Li Ruohu had already stepped forward first, kicked the woman and vomited blood and flew out, and fell headlong into a pool of blood, the scissors in the woman's hand also flew away, lying in a pool of blood covered in blood, choking and spitting blood, and her body curled up into a ball and withered on the ground.
"Your men ambushed our general's boat on the lake today, in an attempt to rebel and kill the court officials, and it is already cheaper to kill them alone, and if anyone dares to commit such a crime of rebellion in the future, they will definitely behead your whole family! Someone, cut down this woman who tried to assassinate the general! Li Ruohu stood in front of Gao Huaiyuan's horse and yelled at the villagers who knelt on the ground.
The villagers are crying at this time, the whole village after this looting, almost only the old and weak women and children are left, and the men in the whole village are almost all killed, Gao Huaiyuan looked at the woman lying on the ground, coldly turned the horse's head, and waved his hand: "Go to the next village!" ā
So the officers and soldiers immediately put away their weapons, escorted Gao Huaiyuan towards the next village, an hour later, there was a scene like the previous village appeared in this fishing village, soon the fishermen who participated in the ambush of the official boat that day were tied to the open space, after Gao Huaiyuan's order, all the heads fell to the ground, and a howl sounded in the village.
Gao Huaiyuan looked at the scattered heads and corpses in front of him, and the evil breath in his chest finally vented, turned his head to look at the old and weak women and children who were crying, and only then did he feel pity again, and sat on the horse and sighed.
"Collect the troops, send someone to notify the local Lizheng, and ask him to report to the official and deal with these aftermaths!" Gao Huaiyuan bowed his head and commanded Li Ruohu, who was standing in front of his horse.
"There are still two participating villages that have not been visited! Can't the adults let them go? Li Ruohu asked a little strangely.
Gao Huaiyuan shook his head in frustration and said, "That's it!" We've already killed a lot of people, so that's it! Let's go back to the ship! ā
When Gao Huaiyuan returned to the ship, he did not tell Ji Xiancheng and Liu Er what they did at night, but returned to a cabin alone, so that no one could disturb him, he sat alone on the chair in the cabin and was silent, so he sat alone for a long time, and did not say a word until the second half of the night.
The candle flame in the cabin had already burned out at this time, Gao Huaiyuan was still sitting silently in the dark, he couldn't figure out why he would take revenge on those foolish people so much today, if he had put it in the past, he would definitely let them go, but today, he brought people to wash two villages, could it be that in the past few years, his heart has become ruthless?
Although these people ambushed and killed him, but fundamentally, these people are still fools, and they have been bewitched by other people, even if they are guilty, they don't necessarily have to kill them, but what happened to him today? actually killed them one by one in front of their families, doesn't this mean that he has changed?
Gao Huaiyuan sat in the cabin all night and thought bitterly about this question, but couldn't find an answer, at this time the cabin door rang, someone walked in from outside the cabin with a lantern, Gao Huaiyuan frowned and wanted to scold, but through the light, he saw that it was Ji Xiancheng and Liu Er who walked into the cabin, so he swallowed and spitted and stopped talking.
Liu Er held a food plate with a few fragrant dishes and a bowl of rice, as well as a pot of wine and two wine glasses, and gently walked to Gao Huaiyuan's side and placed the food plate on the table beside him.
"Official, you haven't eaten yet, the concubine has made a few dishes for you that you like to eat, and Mr. Ji also wants to drink a few glasses of wine with you!" Liu Er said softly to Gao Huaiyuan.
Ji Xiancheng changed the candle in the cabin at this time, re-lit it, made the cabin bright, walked to the other side of the table, reached out and poured two glasses of wine, and handed Gao Huaiyuan a glass.
"You and I haven't drunk together for a long time, why don't you have two drinks with you today?" Ji Xiancheng said to Gao Huaiyuan.
Although Gao Huaiyuan was in a bad mood and his interest was not high, he didn't want to refute the face of the two of them, so he took the wine glass and smiled bitterly and said: "I know that I have gone too far today, and it also makes you worry, but today I really can't control the killing intent in my heart!" ā
