Chapter 52: Civil Revolt

The first stop was Shuixiu Village, Jiang Chengwang accompanied the humble smiling face, and said with an arch: "My lord, two more days, let the villain think of a way." ”

The lieutenant said with a cold face: "You said this ten days ago, and now you still say this, you eat rice and noodles every day, but let the nobles in the imperial city and the soldiers at the border pass eat wind and rain, how can there be such a reason, search!" ”

At the sound of the order, the officers and men immediately scattered in all directions, broke into the people's houses, and wantonly looted, and in an instant the shouts and cries became chaotic.

Jiang Chengwang pleaded with a bitter face: "My lord, you can't do this, my lord, leave us a way to live!" ”

Pleading and kneeling, the captain raised his leg and kicked Jiang Chengwang out, and scolded angrily: "If you want to live, don't we want to live?" Without us, how can you live in peace? ”

"I'm fighting with you!" Zhao Daxiang came out of the room scuffling with an officer and soldier, shouting: "Even the grain must be taken away!" You're still not human? If you don't grow food, what will you plant next year? Even the planting is gone, let the nobles in the imperial city eat! Such a court, it might as well be the opposite! ”

The lieutenant's eyes were cold, and he reprimanded: "Take it!" ”

Several officers and soldiers rushed up to beat Zhao Daxiang well, and Zhao Daxiang cried and shouted for his mother, screaming again and again, after the beating, two officers and soldiers dragged Zhao Daxiang to the captain by the arm, and then one of them twisted his arm to pick up Zhao Daxiang.

The captain said in a cold voice: "Boldly disrupt the people, deliberately plot rebellion, bewitch the people, and the crime is extremely heinous, cut down!" ”

"Son! O my son! Zhao Daxiang's old lady came out of the house, staggered out on crutches, and cried: "My lord, spare my life! My lord! ”

The lieutenant was indifferent, and the officers and soldiers who were scuffled by Zhao Daxiang pulled out their horizontal knives and cut off Zhao Daxiang's head with one sword.

"Ahh Zhao Daxiang's old lady screamed miserably, fell to the ground, and stopped moving.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Officers and soldiers kill people at will, we are not even as good as pigs and dogs!" ”

The lieutenant scolded and asked, "Who is clamoring?" ”

No one answered, and the captain said sharply: "Shuixiu Village harbors and plots against the bandits, the crime is unforgivable!" Chop down all the men above the wheel height! ”

The officers and soldiers drew their swords and pounced on the villagers, and in an instant, the screams came one after another, and suddenly several officers and soldiers froze, and their whole bodies began to convulse.

Jing Xiu snatched a horizontal knife and beheaded four officers and soldiers in a row.

The lieutenant was startled, and hurriedly pulled out the horizontal knife, but he felt a flower in front of him, and then felt a breath of qi passing through his body, and then his hands and feet did not obey the call, and he watched Jing Xiuli raise his knife and slash at him.

The captain fell, and the officers and soldiers surrounded Jing Xiuli, and a phantom figure shook around Jing Xiuli's body, raising his horizontal knife and shouting: "The Spirit Emperor has no way, and a catastrophe has fallen from the sky!" The people are hungry, they are not clothed, and the pigs and dogs are not as good, so they are against me! ”

The phantom suddenly dispersed, and all the officers and soldiers around him began to convulse.

Jing Xiuli shouted again: "Kill these officers and soldiers, let's contact other villages and enter the county seat together!" ”

The first to pick up the knife was a young woman, her name was Chen Qiulu, she had only been married for three months, and her husband was hacked to death by officers and soldiers in front of her eyes.

"Ah......" Chen Qiulu screamed and slashed at the officers and soldiers, after the officers and soldiers fell to the ground, Chen Qiulu still held the knife in both hands, desperately slashed at the officers and soldiers, and cried: "Return my husband!" Give back my husband......"

A teenager picked up a horizontal knife, held it with both hands, stabbed an officer in the stomach, and then looked at the fallen officer and shouted: "Give me back my father!" ”

The villagers picked up knives one after another, and those who didn't grab the horizontal knives went home and got kitchen knives and firewood knives......

Chu Qin was closing his eyes and meditating, after the first battle of Rizhaoguan, he began to think about the problem of the beast spirit again, in fact, he had seen the record of dominating the beast spirit from the classics in the early years, but it was much more difficult to dominate the beast spirit than the soul control, not only did it require high spiritual power, but it also required some kind of talent.

It is not clear what kind of talent it is, because it is not written in the classics, but Chu Qin understands that he should not have this talent, because he has not liked animals since he was a child, and even his domestic nursing dogs do not deal with him, and they bark vigorously when they see him.

At present, the catastrophe has not passed, and everyone is busy with disaster relief, so Chu Qin didn't mention the matter of the beast spirit, so he pondered it first, wanting to wait for the disaster year to pass, and then discuss with the high priest, to hear what the high priest has opinions, or how to test the existing people, and discover this talent.

Dongfang Xuan walked in, bowed, and called softly, "Master Chu." ”

Chu Qin opened his eyes, and Dongfang Xuan said, "High Priest, please come over, there is something urgent." ”

Chu Qin stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

Dongfang Xuan led Chu Qin to the Imperial Soul Division, Chu Qin felt different, if they met in the Imperial Soul Division, it would be a military event.

After entering the Imperial Soul Division, he saw that the three priests were there, Chu Qin bowed down and was about to salute, when the high priest said, "No need to be polite, look at this." ”

The priest handed a file to Chu Qin, Chu Qin took it and unfolded it, squinted his eyes when he looked at it, and said: "Lingtao County is less than four hundred miles away from the capital, and the food for disaster relief should have been distributed long ago, how can there be a change in the people?" Moreover, there are people among the chaotic people who can control the soul, I am afraid that the rebels' spirit master infiltrated and provoked a civil uprising to cause civil strife. ”

The high priest said, "You have seen it thoroughly, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "If there are no people, there will be no food, and we must not wantonly kill, we must first investigate the cause of the people's uprising, only pursue the first evil, and do not investigate the followers." ”

The high priest said: "You go, the military and political secretary has transferred two thousand elite soldiers from the guard battalion, and they are already on standby on the outskirts of the city, you immediately go to Lingtao County to properly handle this matter." ”

Chu Qin asked, "What is your intention?" ”

The high priest said, "Do it cheaply, cut it first, and then play it." ”

Chu Qin bowed and responded, "Yes." ”

Chu Qin returned to his residence, said to Shangguan He, and then told Gu Du to leave, without taking Shangguan He and Jin Lan with him.

The two left the palace and rode on horseback to the outskirts of the city.

Worship and worship gathered under the city, these people who are engaged in farming are not soldiers after all, and it is okay to cut and kill face-to-face, because there are soul troops to collide with officers and soldiers, but it is not possible to attack the city, and they are killed by arrows in the city when they are not close at all.

Jing Xiuli is not afraid of these people dying, for him, whether it is an officer or an ordinary person, the more deaths the better, one more death of officers and soldiers, one less combat power of the Spirit Kingdom, and one more death of the people, one less stone of grain in the Spirit Kingdom.

It's just that the chaotic people saw that the people in front of them were shot to death, so they panicked and retreated, if he forced the siege, it would only be counterproductive, it was better to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and the officers and soldiers opened the city to cover up.

Forbearance for more than 20 years, worship and worship is this natural and man-made disaster! Half a month ago, he sneaked into the county seat and burned the disaster relief grain allocated by the imperial court.

This is the time of day! Location! People are at odds.
