Chapter 69: The Human
"Hall Master Dong, our marquis has an invitation - I don't know how many subordinates you still have? Master Hou let me bring it in, and I prepared a meal for you. The servants ran out and came out according to the housekeeper's instructions, and asked Dong Shusheng to let them in.
"Wait a minute—I'll call them all!" Dong Shusheng was snickering in his heart, he thought that this Hou Ye was so easy to talk and treat them as guests, it was really a bit of a sudden victory, and his heart was jumping non-stop. Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he asked his men behind him to inform the brothers who were lying in ambush around him, and in a few moments all twenty men who had been entrusted to him gathered in front of him.
"I'm tired of leading the way - you are not allowed to look around after you enter, and you are to follow my orders!" Dong Shusheng didn't forget to tell the people behind him, for fear that they wouldn't be able to hold back and mess things up for a while, and when he saw that the people behind him were all nodding, he felt a little at ease.
The group followed the servants of the Hou Mansion into the gate, and they had just walked into the gate about ten paces away, when there was a sudden sound of "clang" closing the door behind them. Dong Shusheng and the others stopped and didn't move forward, they all looked at the servant in front of them, holding the knife hanging from their waists in their hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient - these things need to be kept secret, and Lord Hou will always close the door for the sake of safety, right? Otherwise, I don't know how many people come and go every day in such a big county mansion, once it is discovered, it is a big crime to kill the head, and you don't want to be taken down by all the officials and soldiers before you go out, right? Master Hou is waiting for you in a secluded place inside, please-" The servant the housekeeper found is also clever, and he has bluffed these people in a few strokes.
The further he went, Dong Shusheng had an ominous premonition, but he didn't know where this uneasy feeling came from. However, he has already walked here, and there are still twenty fierce subordinates following him, which is the guarantee of his personal safety. Steadily, they walked into a relatively remote small courtyard, and in the far side of the courtyard sat a man in armor, beside whom stood four guards with knives.
"Master Hou, this is the Dong Hall Master of the Taiping Sect, the little one went down first!" When the servant saw that he had brought the man, he hurriedly withdrew.
"Okay—go down and get your prize! Butler, show you the heroes-" Jinan Hou asked Dong Shusheng to sit in the courtyard, fifty steps away from him, Liu Lei couldn't help sneering in his heart, it seems that this person in front of him is a rookie! Now he feels much more comfortable in his heart-
"Dong Ming, the deputy hall master of the Jinan branch of the Taiping Sect, pays a visit to Master Hou!" Dong Shusheng saw that there were more than 20 brothers under him and his subordinates in the courtyard, and there were only Jinan Hou and his four subordinate stewards fifty steps away, but the uneasiness just now became more and more obvious.
"Bold--your little branch master still doesn't kneel when he sees the marquis of the dynasty, is he going to rebel?" The housekeeper on the Hou side of Jinan saw that Dong Shusheng was just clasping his fists and saluting, and immediately shouted loudly.
"Ahh Due to the hierarchical system of the Han Dynasty for many years, a scholar can't do it without kneeling when he sees the powerful, Dong Shusheng didn't think about it when he heard this, and poofed - kneeling down with a soft knee. When he reacted, his face was flushed and a little pale, and he didn't know whether he was shy or angry......
"Haha-Hall Master Dong, what are you doing today?" Seeing that a hall master on the opposite side knelt down in fright, Jinan Hou Liu Lei was suddenly in a good mood, even such a cowardly who had never seen the world dared to show off his might in front of him, in order to figure out the meaning of the Taiping Sect, Jinan Hou put away his hideous face and looked at Dong Shusheng with a charming smile.
"Hou Ye, since Hou Ye said so, then let's open the skylight and say something. Presumably Lord Hou has also heard of the Taiping Sect, right? My great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao took the Yellow Sky as the supreme god, and the Yellow God created human beings in the world, and the world was a peaceful world during the Yellow Emperor period, and it was the best time for human life. In this peaceful world, there is no exploitation and oppression, no hunger, cold and disease, no fraud and theft, and everyone is free and happy. The great sage and mentor adhered to the ideal of "to peace", and hung the pot to help the world and help all those in need. The current Han Dynasty is politically dark and the people's livelihood is withering. In the imperial court, eunuchs and relatives took turns to disrupt the government; In the local area, the powerful landlords and officials did evil, and there were years of famine, so that there was a human tragedy of "death pillow" and "cannibalism", and the life of the common people was miserable, and there was no way to live. The purpose of coming here today is to save the Hou Ye to give up the company of this corrupt and dark world, purify his soul and accumulate supreme merits, and benefit future generations. Dong Shusheng said loudly for a long time, and the brothers behind him were all fanatical in their eyes, which was also their ideal.
"Oh? What does this have to do with me? I am also a member of the imperial court, and this is also the world of the Liu family! Do you mean that asking me to join you is a rebellion? Is that right? Speaking of this, Liu Lei couldn't help his restless mood, and his face began to be hideous.
"Yes—don't you want to create a peaceful and prosperous world with us? We can eat, drink together, farm together, and read together, isn't it nice to have such a wonderful world? ......" Dong Shusheng didn't notice Liu Lei's changes at all, and continued to babble about the words that brainwashed the people.
"Shut up! The rebellious thief dares to talk endlessly here, uncle, what do I want to live now? Why join this bullshit cult of yours, a place that hides filth and dirt will do some stealing and stealing things. Fortunately, Uncle has nowhere to look for you, so you obediently sent this to the door. Someone - Ready! Whoever dares to move will shoot me to death at once-"
As soon as the words fell, the walls were covered with slow archers, and from behind Liu Lei, a team of officers and soldiers with shields ran out in front of him, and the door that came in just now had been sealed, and in an instant, Dong Shusheng and they were all surrounded.
"Jinan Hou, what do you mean by this? Aren't you afraid that our Taiping Sect people will retaliate against you? Let your Liu family be wiped out from now on? Dong Shusheng trembled when he first saw this formation, he suddenly remembered all the things that entered the Hou Mansion, he had never seen anyone along the way, it was an abnormal phenomenon in itself, he didn't even notice the strangeness in it, looking at Liu Lei's hideous face, suddenly he felt that he was not afraid.
"Hmph-a group of bandits who are not in the climate also want to plot against my Liu family's world, afraid that you will retaliate? If you really have the ability, why bother to come to my house and beg me, wouldn't it be better for you to directly launch a rebellion? Now you put down the weapons in your hands within a stick of incense, otherwise don't blame Master Hou and my subordinates for being ruthless! Liu Lei had a flash of inspiration in his head, and he originally planned to kill all these Taiping disciples to get out of his bad breath of being insulted, but he found that these people had more backbone than he imagined, in order to avoid these people from disturbing him again in the future, he decided to capture them all alive and then knock the mountain and shock the tiger.
"Hall Master—what should we do?" A group of people behind him pulled out the knives in their hands, observed everywhere, and looked at Dong Shusheng with an anxious expression.
"Brothers, I was negligent - I'm sorry brothers, this time I guess we're going to have to explain here. Are you afraid? But brothers, Guan Shuai and the great sages will avenge us! Let's rush up and kill that dog master, killing one is enough to kill two and earn one, brothers-rush! Dong Shusheng pulled out his knife and shouted, and rushed towards Liu Lei first, followed by the people behind.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead, shoot me-"
"Ahh He stood up tremblingly and scolded: "Jinan Hou, you bastard!" You don't have to die well—"
"Hmph-come on, bring a jar, chop off the limbs of this thing that doesn't know whether to live or die for me, make a human stick, and raise it in the jar - all the rest of these people cut off my heads and hang them outside the mansion gate, I want to see what the Taiping Sect people dare to do with me?"
Soon Dong Shusheng was unrecognizable, only his head and body were buried in the water tank, the water tank was full of soil and sand was placed outside the Hou Mansion, and there were ten hideous human heads hanging on both sides of him, and no one dared to move around the Hou Mansion in Jinan for a while.
