"What's wrong?" Bai Poria asked, Bai Shao would never say anything.
Bai Shao organized the language and told the follow-up to the truth that day.
That night, all the elders and leaders of the clan heard Xuecha's words, and except for a few people who had colluded with the high priest and others, their faces were as pale as earth and they were frightened to death, and the rest of them were filled with righteous indignation and demanded that the most severe punishment be put to death for these sinners who killed the old patriarch and framed the Thorn Fruit Euonymus.
The Euonymus pushed them to the front of the stage, called the people who had been worshipping from afar, and asked Xue Cha, Long Jiao, and the High Priest to confess their sins in the presence of everyone.
In the past two years, the dragon horn has obeyed the high priest, and most of the clansmen are dissatisfied, and they immediately shouted "should be killed", and the thorn of the thorn cut the dragon horn in two in public.
Xuecha cried that she was pregnant, and begged the thorn fruit euonymus to let their mother and son live in the past relationship, and they were willing to atone for the slaves and maids.
As a result, the Piercing Fruit Euonymus just sneered, saying that it was nothing more than a seed, and then cut off her head mercilessly......
If it had been more than ten years ago, Bai Shao would not have felt that there was anything wrong with doing this, but now that she has been reformed for many years, she can't help but feel uneasy when she thinks of the ruthlessness of killing Xue Cha in public with one corpse and two lives.
Although the woman deserves to die, the child in her belly is innocent, and she is indeed just a pawn from beginning to end, because of weakness, she was forced by the dragon horn priest, although it is hateful, it is not a sin to death.
Bai Chou couldn't help frowning when he heard this, Mu Peilan had just given birth to a pair of young children, his heart was full of joy for a new life, and he suddenly heard that the Thorn Fruit Euonymus refused to let go of even a pregnant woman, and it was a little difficult to accept.
Bai Poria's heart trembled, and she smiled bitterly, even if she was a death row prisoner, she would be allowed to give birth to a child and then execute, not to mention that the Thorn Fruit Euonymus did not hide her affection for Xue Cha at the beginning.
Why have I recently encountered some ruthless characters who kill people without blinking?
"What happened to the High Priest? Also killed? She had secretly decided that she would keep her distance from the Euonymus in the future.
Bai Shao nodded and shook his head: "The high priest was struck by lightning and died. ”
Hey? Can bad guys really smash thunder? Everyone in the hall was curious.
It turned out that in the Thorn Fruit Division, as a high priest, he had absolute immunity, no matter what he did to hurt the heavens and reason, except for the gods, no one could kill him, and at most imprison him.
Although the high priest knew that he was losing power, he expected that the spear would not dare to kill him openly, so he was not too afraid, but loudly insulted and cursed him and the old patriarch, saying that they had disobeyed the gods, and he was punishing them on behalf of the gods.
The Spear of Thorn called his cronies to gag his mouth, tied him to the flagpole on the high platform, and announced in public that if the gods did not punish the wicked man within three days, he would spare his life.
There are often thunderstorms at the turn of spring and summer, especially in this newly occupied land of the Thorn Fruit tribe, there is a large lake, rain and lightning are frequent, as a result, the next day before dawn the high priest was struck to death by lightning on the high platform.
After that, the Thorn Fruit Euonymus publicly claimed that the reason why the tribe suffered disasters one after another was because the high priest had been driven by demons and had deviated from the will of the gods, and the gods were angry, so the entire Thorn Fruit tribe suffered together.
Then he executed a group of shamans who were close to the high priest, and prepared to re-elect new people to fill them.
Bai Poria sighed, I don't know whether to praise the wisdom of the Euonymus spur, many people know in modern times, when encountering thunder and lightning, do not stand in a high place or close to trees, flagpoles and other particularly high objects, if the terrain in the vicinity is gentle, be more careful not to walk upright, otherwise it is easy to provoke lightning strikes, I didn't expect the Euonymus Spear to know this, and use it so thoroughly.
The Euonymus is an honest and obedient green-eyed man in front of her, but when it comes to the others, it is a resolute, ruthless barbarian leader. In fact, she should be glad that she saved him, at least for a while, he will leave some incense for her family.
It can already be seen from what he did that he learned the lesson of his father's failure, and intends to take the opportunity to firmly control the divine power of the Thorn Fruit Department in his hands, and in the future, the shamans of the Thorn Fruit Department can only be his mouthpiece, and he can no longer do anything with him.
I have to say that he is very smart and knows how to take advantage of opportunities, presumably when they discussed together how to let the conspiracy of the high priest and others be revealed, he was already thinking about how to take the opportunity to pave the way for the future control of the Thorn Fruit Department, but compared to his previous appearance when facing her, Bai Poria couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart - another two-faced person! No wonder Bai Shao would ask her to be careful.
In fact, they all guessed that she was hurt by the sea pumice stone, so once they found a suspicious target, they tried to warn her, lest she be hurt again.
Bai Poria felt warm in her heart, and smiled: "Okay, let's help when it is time to help, and then we can see clearly whether to cooperate or not, and how to cooperate." ”
The others nodded their heads and dispersed.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and the Piercing Fruit Euonymus sends people to deliver letters to Bai Poria from time to time, rarely mentioning the major events in the clan, just telling his thoughts and some trivial matters in life.
If Bai Poria couldn't see his intentions, it was really a brain in water, so her reply was very businesslike, only talking about how to restore trade, cooperate in business, and persuade him to reconcile with the barbarians, and never mention personal issues.
Soon after the Piercing Fruit Spear peacefully seized the real power of the tribe, he became the new patriarch of the Piercing Fruit Tribe, and the forces that originally belonged to the High Priest and the Dragon Horn were quickly disintegrated, and the changes came too quickly, and many old faction forces were suppressed and divided before they had time to unite to resist.
In the past, they could still rely on the clansmen's belief in the gods and the strength of their own family to fight against the emerging forces, barely tied or even had a slight advantage, the strong appearance of the Thorn Fruit Euonymus, coupled with the fall of the High Priest overnight, the wind direction in the clan completely changed, and before they could make a move, several leaders were killed in public by the Thorn Fruit Euonymus for conspiracy to kill the old patriarch.
He challenged several old-fashioned power families in the tribe, nominally saying that they killed their father together with the high priest, but for the sake of tribal unity, he was unwilling to strangle their family with the legal principles of the tribe, so he fought alone, as long as the elected representative of the other family can defeat him, then he will not blame the past, if he is defeated by him, He was going to kill the patriarch of the family to avenge his father.
In fact, many of these families did not participate in the conspiracy of the day, and it was impossible for the Thorn Fruit Guardian to find evidence to prove that they had a part in the murder of his father, but there was no need for evidence to avenge his father, and he put on a posture of a fair duel to determine life and death, rather than using "political means" to persecute him, and won the support of the clan, especially those who had been oppressed for a long time, and regarded the Thorn Fruit Guardian as the hero and hope of the Thorn Fruit tribe.
This way of fighting violence and deciding life and death in a decisive battle is what the barbarians appreciate and worship the most.
The challenged family has bitterness and can't say it, and they don't even have the right to refuse this kind of private challenge. I know that the other party is borrowing the topic to play, but there is no way at all.
Some of the leaders who have not yet received the challenge know in their hearts, and in order to save their lives, they have taken the initiative to suppress the opposition within the family, and openly expressed their support for the spear of Thorn Fruit, and looked forward to him as the horse's head.
In just three months, the opposition of the Thorn Fruit tribe has dropped to an all-time low, and the people have united like never before.
However, the rest of the barbarian alliance deeply felt a huge threat, originally the two factions in the Thorn Fruit Department were fighting each other, and they were able to resist the many counterattacks of the barbarian alliance, but now the Thorn Fruit Guardian Spear unified the whole clan, and the situation was more and more bad for them.
Several coalition leaders discussed again and again, set their sights on Beiguan City, and decided to find a way to negotiate peace with the Zhenbei army, presumably they would not be happy to see the Thorn Fruit Department family sitting on the throne!
There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in the world, and even if the two sides were not happy before, there is no room for reversal.
The messengers of the Thorn Fruit Department and the barbarian coalition army arrived in Beiguan City at the same time, and they all concealed their identities, and did not go to meet the general of Zhenbei, but first asked to see the people of the Bai family.
Bai Poria blamed all these annoying things on Bai Shanglu, but the envoy of the Thorn Fruit Department also sent a handwritten letter from the Thorn Fruit Euonymus to her.
The letter was written in the words of Qi Guo, which were learned by the spear when he was recuperating from his injuries in the hospital, and in the past two years, he has been doing a security business while continuing to learn the language and writing of Qi Guo, although it is far from being proficient, simple letters are no longer a problem.
And Bai Poria had to admit ashamedly that a foreigner's handwriting was better than her!
The letter earnestly invited her to visit the Thorn Fruit tribe in mid-June, and Bai Poria thought about it and agreed.
The next day, she received the latest batch of deeds of sale sent from the Ning'an River, Bai Poria carefully calculated the number, plus these, the deed of sale stored in her box has exceeded 10,000, until this moment, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief, completed the task a year and a half ahead of schedule, and the last mountain that pressed on her heart was finally removed!
After the ecstasy, there was a burst of emptiness and loneliness, and her parents didn't have to worry, and the task was completed, and she seemed to be useless......
In the past ten years, I have opened my eyes every day and thought about the heavy responsibility of saving thousands of people, and unconsciously all the focus of my life is on this matter, others see her acting arbitrarily, doing whatever she wants, without scruples, in fact, she has never really done anything for herself, the only time should be to insist on wasting time to stay in the Wulin League, but she is waiting for a hurtful ending.
Well, for the next year and a half, live completely for yourself!
