Chapter 81: Keeping People Under the Knife

"Killed. No, send all these people outside Hanping County and let them die in front of Zhang Baiqi one by one! ”

Guo Jia closed his eyes and gave such a cruel order.

Killing people is not enough, Guo Jia only needs one sentence to kill Zhang Baiqi's whole family, but this is not enough, he wants Zhang Baiqi to be tortured in the last days of his life, people's pain is better than the yin and yang of relatives, Guo Jia wants Zhang Baiqi to see with his own eyes what is the fate of his relatives, and who caused this fate!

Qin Mi stood in front of Guo Jia.

Perhaps, he guessed the fate of these people.

It's just that I didn't guess that Guo Jia would be able to give such a cruel order.

After a moment of silence, Qin Mi did not refute Guo Jia.

It's naΓ―ve to be sorry for your wife and children!

If Zhang Baiqi's rebellion succeeds, what will happen to Guo Jia's wife and concubines after he enters Chengdu?

Rebellion is life and death, and there is no room for relaxation.

The losing side, there will not be only one head that will be cut off, the idea of one person doing things and one person is too ridiculous, and the three clans will never suffer in the future or set an example is the way to go.

Today, Guo Jia has long lost the slightest kindness of a woman.

Qin Mi walked a few steps outside and then suddenly turned back, and said to Guo Jia with a worried face: "Lord, if you do such a thing, after the people learn about it, I am afraid that it will damage the prestige of the lord. ”

These people should die, Qin Mi doesn't intercede for them, and no prince can tolerate rebellion.

However, Qin Mi has to consider the reaction of the people after hearing about this incident, Cao Ying slaughtered the city, and the people thousands of miles away were terrified, if Guo Jia also turned from the king of benevolence to the king of cruelty, the essence of the matter is not that Guo Jia is thirsty for killing, but the means are too drastic, and there will also be bad consequences.

Guo Jia closed his eyes and sighed lightly, and said lightly: "Zi Xuan, just do as I say, if the people think I'm wrong, then let them be, Zhang Baiqi slaughtered Hanping County, nearly 100,000 people died, if there are still people who pity Zhang Baiqi, then let them sympathize, it is not their relatives who died, and the unforgettable sorrow is not for them to bear, what they think, how they think, how to see, I can't lead, but I want to let the relatives of the people killed in Hanping County who are still alive get a quick answer from the enemy." ”

Since Guo Jia insisted, Qin Mi stopped persuading and left softly.

As for whether the people will think that Guo Jia is cruel and unkind, Guo Jia has considered it in his heart.

No matter what means are used to kill all the three clans of Zhang Baiqi, in essence, Guo Jia is avenging the people, especially the people who were killed in Hanping County, Zhang Baiqi's rebellion is the retrograde referred to by Qianfu, and no one can hold up the moral banner for Zhang Baiqi at this point.

And ordinary people have preconceived mindsets, which is beneficial to Guo Jia.

There is a big impression difference between a person doing good deeds first and then doing bad deeds.

First evil and then good, others at best look at it with the eyes of changing evil and returning to righteousness, and they must always be vigilant, not at ease, afraid that this person will be capricious.

Good first and then evil, I am afraid that others will say with a tolerant eye that this person has made a mistake for a while, and should be given a chance to make amends, and will get a lot of support in moral public opinion.

Of course, in essence, there is no difference between one good and one evil, one evil and one good, and it is still a sin to do evil first and then do evil.

However, the difference in order makes the impression of good and evil or the importance of it in people's hearts have a distinction of priority and subordination.

When Cao Ying sits on half of the country, what he needs is the popularity of the people, what he needs is the people's heart, he also treats the people well, and observes the people's suffering, but it is difficult to restore the people's fear of his cruelty and ferocity, this is preconceived, Cao Ying gives people the impression from the beginning that he is a tyrant wielding a butcher's knife, and the people are afraid of him, even if Cao Ying does a hundred things that are beneficial to the people, it is not worth slaughtering an insignificant small city before him.

Guo Jia entered Yizhou, and the people of the autumn did not commit any crimes, and lightly punished the people, treated the people very generously, in the eyes of the people Guo Jia is a benevolent monarch, is a Ming monarch, this impression has been with the people of Yizhou for more than five years, now, Guo Jia is above board and brutal means to slaughter Zhang Baiqi three clans, after the people learn about it, even if they do not agree with Guo Jia's approach, at least they will not openly oppose and reprimand Guo Jia for his cruelty.

Fuling County, outside Hanping County, Zhang Yan looked at the dozens of people in the prisoner car with a complicated expression.

If Guo Jia wants to kill someone, someone must wield a butcher knife, and Zhang Yan is Guo Jia's knife.

Deng Zhi looked at Zhang Yan with an unbearable look on his face and asked, "Does the general really want to kill these people in front of Zhang Baiqi?" ”

With a wave of his big hand, Zhang Yan stopped Deng Zhi's words and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Baiqi deserves to die, and today's fate is his own fault, and he can't complain about the lord." ”

Deng Zhi was silent, beheading the public has been there since ancient times, but in front of Zhang Baiqi, he cut down his family members one by one under the city, which is too cruel.

Escorting Zhang Baiqi's relatives to the river, Zhang Yan held a long knife, the sharp blade was particularly dazzling in the vicious light, Zhang Yan shouted loudly towards the Hanping County on the other side of the river: "Zhang Baiqi, show up to see me!" ”

Guo Jia's order was to execute his family in front of Zhang Baiqi, and he would never let Zhang Yan be killed on the spot at will in the camp, not simply to change the occasion, but to let Zhang Baiqi open his eyes and see all this clearly.

Although more than 100 meters away, Zhang Baiqi recognized his family at first sight after appearing in the city.

Favored wives and concubines, children and young children.

Why are they here?

Zhang Baiqi's face was bloodless, and he first let his family go to Xuchang to stay with Cao Ying, which was not only a manifestation of loyalty to Cao Ying, but also a choice for him to settle his family.

But now!

The crying and crying for mercy came from the other side of the river, Zhang Baiqi couldn't help but be moved, and he suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, circulating hundreds of remains, making him like falling into an ice cellar.

Zhang Yan's knife was slowly raised, Zhang Baiqi could no longer be calm, and in a panic, the city head prayed to Zhang Yan: "Feiyan knife to keep people!" Listen to me! ”

Zhang Yan actually didn't want to be this executioner, but someone had to do this errand.

Hearing Zhang Baiqi's shout, Zhang Yan raised his head and looked at the city, and shouted in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

Zhang Baiqi struggled, cold sweat dripped down his cheeks to the ground, Zhang Baiqi suddenly dropped his saber and pleaded with Zhang Yan: "Feiyan, I am willing to surrender Kaicheng!" Please Feiyan Nian on the side of you and I have worked together for many years, have been side by side on the battlefield, for me to intercede with the lord, I Zhang Baiqi is unforgivable, death is not a pity, but please open the main network, let go of my family, even if I leave a pulse of incense to my Zhang family, I will remember the great kindness of the lord under the nine springs. ”

Zhang Yan put away the knife, looked at Zhang Baiqi, who was five big and three thick in the city, with tears streaming down his face, his mood was very complicated, and he turned around and ordered all Zhang Baiqi's family members to be escorted back to the camp.

Deng Zhi walked up and asked, "The general really wants to intercede for Zhang Baiqi?" ”

Zhang Yan sighed slightly, and said: "Zhang Baiqi is said to be wrong today, even if he has great merits, it is difficult to match, but since he is willing to surrender the city, I still go to explain the situation to the lord, if the lord is unwilling to open the net, it will not be too late to kill again." ”

Deng Zhi nodded in agreement, what he was afraid of was that Zhang Yan would be emotionally pleading for Zhang Baiqi at this time.

The rebellion is difficult to resign, and if Zhang Yan tries to protect Zhang Baiqi, I am afraid that he will be affected by Guo Jia's anger.

In the time when things happened outside Hanping County, Guo Jia began to arrange for Xi Zhicai to go to Mount Emei to recuperate in Chengdu.

After a few days, Xi Zhi finally had an appetite, and his complexion improved a little, and sure enough, after breaking his idea of working hard and doing official duties, his condition gradually improved.

At this point, although Guo Jia is not a doctor, he also understands the truth that he thinks about it at night, so he doesn't think about tea and dinner.

He is preoccupied with business, but he can't do it, and it's normal to be in a bad mood and have no appetite at the same time.

Guo Jia temporarily dismissed him from all official positions, and did not allow officials to contact him, Xi Zhi knew that Guo Jia had always liked to get to the point, and he knew that there was no hope for official affairs, so he untied the knot in his heart and recuperated with peace of mind.

But these are not enough, the disease comes like a mountain, the disease goes like a thread, the body is not a one-time effort, the long-term labor and illness is by no means a short time to heal and recover, even if it seems to be okay on the surface, in fact, there may still be a deep root of the disease.

Xi Zhi was able to get out of bed and walk around, and he knew that Guo Jia lived next to him silently for a few days, not to say, he was very moved in his heart, Guo Jia joked with him: When I was sick, the person who took care of himself in front of the hospital bed was no one else.

Zhang Baiqi wanted to surrender to his descendants for a different way of life, and Qin Mi came to report the news to Guo Jiayu.

Guo Jia was stroking the piano in the courtyard, the sound of the piano was beautiful, melodious, and although the face of Xi Zhicai, who was an audience member on the side, was still a little pale, he listened very attentively, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a hint of a smile.

Qin Mi didn't disturb Guo Jia after coming to the courtyard, and when the sound of the piano dissipated, Qin Mi suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Xi Zhicai was present, and he was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Seeing that Qin Mi seemed to have something unspeakable, Xi Zhicai figured it out, smiled freely, raised the teacup and said softly: "Zi Miao can treat me as nothing, and I will ignore what you talk about with the lord." ”

Some things, if you think about it clearly, smart people will become free.

Guo Jia laughed loudly while wiping his hands: "Zi Jian said that it doesn't matter, Zhicai is about to go to Xianyun Yehe's son, he listens to it, if you want to express your opinion, I won't pay attention to him." ”

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Qin Mi no longer hesitated, stepped forward and said: "General Zhang sent a letter, saying that Zhang Baiqi intends to beg to surrender, as long as the lord lets his heirs go, at least he must leave Zhang Baiqi behind." ”

Guo Jiawen's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he sneered: "What qualifications does he have to negotiate with me?" ”
