Chapter 486: Inhumane
Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, Guangzhou Governor Huang Shishen sat at the top, his face was very ugly: "Wan Zhongcheng, those wanderers have always been very peaceful in Lingnan. After they were transferred to Lingnan, they lived in several places designated by the governor of Bentu and became villages, keeping to themselves, never causing trouble, Zhongcheng came from Luojing, I am afraid that they heard some gossip! β
"Huang Dudu!"
Wan Guojun was laughing, but the smile was very penetrating, Rao was on the side of Governor Huang Shishen, who was in a high position, and he couldn't help but feel chills when he saw his smile that was not angry and arrogant.
"Does Huang Dudu dare to give them this guarantee? Hehe, as long as Huang Dudu dares to say that they have no complaints against the court and will never rebel, then Wan will leave immediately and never mention this matter, how about it? β
Wan Guojun only said a word, and Huang Shishen was silent and didn't dare to speak. Rebellion is the crime of killing the head, who dares to guarantee this for others? He is a good governor of the capital, so why should he risk his own life for a group of criminal officials' families?
In this era, the transportation is inconvenient, and the situation in Beijing will not be known so quickly, especially in the remote location of Guangzhou, and even fewer people know about it. What's more, on such a sensitive topic as rebellion, even if Huang Shishen knew that the shili of Yushitai was no longer what it used to be, he didn't dare to argue with Wan Guojun.
Wan Guojun sneered twice and said, "Substitute Martial Artist Liu! This sentence has been circulating in Lingnan for a long time, and Huang Dudu, as a feudal official, has never heard of this? β
Of course, Huang Shishen has heard of it, but this rumor is freshly baked, and it was only spread among the people when Wan Guojun arrived in Lingnan, but it is really not that long to say.
But what can Huang Shishen say? He could only be silent.
Wan Guojun said coldly: "Liu, Liuye." It is clear that these people are the same people, there are many phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren in the former dynasty clan in Lingnan, and now such a folk song is spread in Lingnan, the intention can be imagined, the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, Ben Zhongcheng rushed to Lingnan this time, is to verify the matter. I don't know who is so bold as to make up such demagogic words. He wanted to incite the people of Lingnan to rebel. If something really goes wrong here, then you Huang Dudu will be afraid that you will be able to escape the blame! β
Huang Shishen's heart was terrified, so he had to reply against his will: "Huang Shishen is loyal to the imperial court, and this heart can be learned!" Wan Zhongcheng came to investigate this matter, and Huang fully cooperated with Zhongcheng! β
Wan Guojun smiled smugly and said, "Okay! Then ask Huang Dudu to sign a warrant! This Lingnan is poor and bad, and bandits are rampant. There are also rookies with bad intentions, whether Ben Zhongcheng wants to investigate the case or protect himself, he can't do without your Huang Dudu's help! β
Huang Shishen had no choice but to pick up the pen and write down a warrant for the transfer of troops. After writing, he took out the handsome seal and solemnly covered it, and said to Wan Guojun: "Now there are no homeless people making trouble, and there is no invasion by foreign enemies, although Huang is a governor, the soldiers and horses that can be transferred cheaply are also very limited, and now he can only obey Wanzhongcheng's dispatch with a regiment of soldiers and horses, can he?" β
Wan Guojun smiled, and the frost disappeared. With a spring breeze on his face, he said: "A regiment of soldiers and horses is enough!" Huang Dudu was so cooperative. When Ben Zhongcheng returns to the court to report on his work, he will definitely show your loyalty to the saint! β
He reached out and took the order. Looking at the bright red Du Governor Shuai seal on it, a hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the smile was chilling......

Qujiang, Yushan County Ya.
The county commander Hu Xuyao stood sideways, and Wan Guojun sat on the main seat, with a cold face.
The open space outside the lobby was full of people who had been summoned to the county office, these people were in rags, men and women, old and young, and even women with babies in their arms.
These people are the descendants of the Li Tang clan and the ministers of civil and military affairs who have been exiled to Lingnan before and after Wu Zetian's accession to the throne over the years. There are not many descendants left in Li Shimin's lineage, but there are still many princes, heirs, county kings and their families after the reduction of the title of the first class derived from the Li Tang clan, which is still a huge group.
Wan Guojun asked coldly to Hu Xianling on the side, "Are all the people here?" β
Hu Xianling turned his head and whispered a few words with the main book of the painting roster, and bowed his hand to Wan Guojun: "If you go back to Zhongcheng, the three villages at the foot of Yushan that have placed the wanderers, the total number of men, women, and children, a total of three hundred and seventeen people, one is not less, all of them are brought!" β
"Good!"
Wan Guojun slowly stood up, looked at these rogues standing in the lobby, raised his voice, and shouted: "You and others were all assigned to Lingnan because they rebelled against the court and were disloyal to the saints. Rebellion is a capital crime, and the saint opened the net, originally wanting you to repent and convict of your sins, but who knew that you would not repent, but secretly harbored misdeeds.
This official has now verified that you and others secretly colluded, bewitched the villagers, intended to raise the flag and cause trouble, and betrayed the ancient Holy Spirit Emperor Bixia of the Ci clan, and his heart is really punishable. Now that the official is patrolling and this, An can let you and others rebel, and the official will leave you a whole corpse, and you will kill yourself here! β
Wan Guojun's words stunned Hu County Linghe, county magistrates, county lieutenants and other local officials and officials, more than 300 people are the families of the Liuren, they have been killed by the emperor at the beginning, the young and strong people in the family and the relatives who are officials have been killed, and now more than half of the survivors are old and weak women and children, and now they are actually going to kill them all?
The inexplicable people in the hall who were summoned from the village were nervous, and they were stunned when they heard this, and they only reacted after a while, and the whole hall was suddenly in chaos, some shouted and scolded, some rushed up, some knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and some cried loudly, especially those women and children, who heard that the official was going to force them to commit suicide, and they were only frightened and cried.
"Wanzhongcheng! Wanzhongcheng! Please be cautious in your use of torture, be cautious in your use of torture! β
Hu Xuyao, the parent official of Yushan County, trembled, and cold air was swishing on his scalp, and he persuaded in a trembling voice: "These people ...... These people are all old and weak women and children, how can they think the opposite? Even if someone is dissatisfied with the court, it is also the work of a few people, and when the details are investigated, they should be severely punished...... That's hundreds of lives, Wan Zhongcheng, open grace! β
Hu County Commander said, as soon as he put on his robe, he knelt down in the lobby, and when the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant and other officials saw this situation, they all knelt down with the county order. Wan Guojun shouted in disgust: "Bastard! Do you dare to ask for your life for rebellion, and you are not afraid of harming yourself? β
At this time, the angry family members of the displaced people had rushed to the front of the public case, and the officials of Yushan County had no intention of resisting. Step back. Seeing this, the regiment of soldiers and horses brought by Wan Guojun stopped them instead.
These people were all elite soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion, all of them were strong and burly men, dressed in armor, armed with swords and guns, and those old and weak women and children were their opponents, and they were put down at the time.
Hu Xianling trembled in horror, and more than 300 people were lying in his lobby? He shuddered to think about it. These people are either the descendants of Fengzi and Longsun or the descendants of the official gentry, and if any of them dies here, he will be restless, and more than 300 people ......, and he will faint when he thinks about it.
Hu County ordered the sobs to flow, and kowtowed again and again: "Wanzhongcheng." I can't help it, I can't help it! There are so many old and weak widows here, and the elderly over seventy years old, why should the sentence be increased? How innocent is a baby in swaddling clothes? Wan Zhongcheng, the lower officials begged Wan Zhongcheng to raise his noble hand, and he must not be killed! β
Wan Guojun frowned, only listening to the crying and scolding outside the hall. Yushan County Ling and his subordinates have such an attitude. He also felt that it was not good to kill here, so he rolled his eyes. softened his tone and said: "In this case, the official will investigate in detail, and the first evil will definitely not be let go." β
Hu Xianling breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Thank you Zhongcheng for your kindness, thank you Zhongcheng for your kindness." β
Wan Guojun said: "However, although people don't kill them, they can't be let go back, once they are released back to the village, the people in the center of them will inevitably take the opportunity to escape, and it will be difficult to pursue them." Escort them all away, choose a place to resettle, and wait for the official to find out! β
Hu Xuyao only begged him not to kill people, how dare he say more than half a word, and hurriedly agreed, the officials of Yushan County shouted to appease, and those homeless relatives heard that Wan Zhongcheng no longer forced them to commit suicide, but to concentrate on supervision and investigation, and then gradually calmed down.
Wan Guojun escorted the more than 300 old and weak women and children out of the Yushan County Ya, only saying that he would take care of them in a centralized manner. The officers and soldiers escorted these people out of Yushan County, and when they arrived outside Xiaoye, they turned around a forest and still walked into the depths of the jungle.
They refused to go any further, and the public introduced a few respected old men and negotiated with Wan Guojun: "Where is Wan Zhongcheng going to take us?" We have no objection, so we are willing to accept the review to restore our innocence, but where Wanzhong Cheng wants to place us, please make it clear! β
Wan Guojun saw that this place was hidden behind a forest, and there was a big river next to it, neither idlers watched, nor did he let these homeless families escape, his face suddenly changed, he pulled the reins of the horse, slowly turned the horse's head, and shouted loudly: "Lingnan Liuren, who intend to rebel, should be punished for his crime!" Li Piaoling, cut them all to me, not a single one is left! β
As soon as the wanderers heard this, they knew that they had fallen into his daze, and suddenly the sound of pleading, crying, crying, and cursing started again, and several old men were furious, and rushed to Wan Guojun's horse, Wan Guojun waved his hand and shouted: "What are you waiting for, kill me!" β
The commander assigned to Wan Guojun by Huang Shishen, the governor of Guangzhou, was a brigade commander named Li Piaoling. There are many barbarian tribes in Lingnan, and the people are fierce, and whenever there is a conflict, Huang Dudu often sends this person to suppress and suppress, and the barbarian tribes are all afraid to obey. This person is ruthless, and he is a fierce general under Huang Shishen.
Huang Shishen didn't dare to perfunctory Wan Guojun, so he specially sent this person to obey Wan Guojun's dispatch. As soon as Li Piaoling saw Wan Guojun's fierce expression, like a fierce god, his heart was also terrified, and he immediately pulled out his saber and shouted: "Kill!" β
Li Piaoling slashed down with a knife on the head, splitting a gray-haired old man who rushed forward in half, the blood splashed his head and face, and the bloody anger rushed, Li Piaoling's chest flooded with anger, and shouted fiercely: "Kill me!" β
Three hundred officers and soldiers drew their swords and guns, slashed and stabbed indiscriminately, and those old and weak were their opponents, and for a time they were like slaughtering chickens and dogs, and in broad daylight, a scene of inhumane massacre began.
A mother held her daughter with her back and blocked him with her body, and the red-eyed soldier swung a knife, and her head and half of her shoulders were slashed to the ground, and the sword flew again, and the girl's head flew up, and before she could hit the ground, she was kicked out of the way by the soldier like a bow.
A gray-haired old man stretched out his arms in a vain attempt to protect his only grandson, when a large spear the thickness of a goose egg stabbed him viciously, piercing him in the abdomen, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced the child's neck, and strung the grandfather and grandson together.
A young woman with a baby in her arms cried and ran away, but when there was no escape, she had to fall to her knees with a tom, and desperately kowtow to the approaching officer and soldier and beg for mercy.
He snatched the baby from the woman's arms, and with a heavy foot on the boots, which were three thirds larger than the baby's head, and trampled the little head into the ground, and the blood of the brain flowed everywhere, and then he laughed evilly, and pounced on it, and pulled the woman's clothes.
The rags flew up like butterflies, and the weeping woman was soon stripped of white sheep by him, naked, and the soldier threw himself upon him, and in full view of the eyes, he stirred ugly......
The bloody slaughter aroused the most cruel bestiality in the hearts of the soldiers, and in this environment without discipline and legal sanctions, the ugliness in their hearts was infinitely magnified, and these soldiers who were supported by the people had become a group of wild beasts, arbitrarily bullying these old and weak women and children, abusing and killing, abusing and raping, and doing all kinds of evil.
When Hu Xuyao, the commander of Yushan County, heard the news and rushed over, it was almost dusk, he rode a fast horse, and as soon as he bypassed the woods and saw the hellish scene in front of him, his body was weak, and he slid off the horse.
"Ming Gong, be careful......"
Seeing this, the lieutenant of Yushan County hurriedly slipped off his horse and reached out to hold him.
Hu Xianling didn't look up, he looked straight at a five-leaf clover in front of him. There were a few crystal blood beads on the blades of grass, like crystal amber in the setting sun, because of the breeze, they flowed gently on the blades of grass, and suddenly a leaf sank, and a blood bead slipped down, just falling on his face, Hu Xianling screamed in fright.
The lieutenant of Yushan County was in charge of arresting the thief, and he was bolder than Hu County's order, he sighed, and did not help the frightened county commander again, but squinted his eyes and looked at the slaughter scene in front of him.
There were dead bodies all over the ground, blood stains everywhere, and there were almost no intact corpses, only some naked women's corpses, probably for those soldiers to satisfy their animal desires, so they were not cut to pieces, but were only stabbed in the heart and died.
They lay there on their backs, naked and unconcealed to the sunset, but none of them were ashamed to cover them, only their closed eyes, staring fixedly at the sky, as if to complain to the heavens.
This county lieutenant was a murderer, and he also had human lives on his hands, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his legs still couldn't help but tremble suddenly, and he was about to kneel on the ground. Yushan County, who was pale and ghost-like on the side, came up tremblingly, and said timidly: "Ming Gong, Ming Gong ......"
Hu Xianling lay on the ground, as if he hadn't heard his call at all. Two feet in front of him, in the grass, a girl's head lay quietly, with a pair of eyes that seemed to have a hint of horror and doubt, but they were completely lifeless.
Looking at the human head, Hu Xianling beat the ground like crying: "Weishenme? weishenmeοΌ They are just some harmless old and weak women and children, they have long lost their original honor and status, and they are assigned here as sinful bodies, doing the heaviest work, the most humble status, they lack food and clothing, and it is a fluke to survive, weishenme...... Do they have to die? β
