[111] Emancipation of slaves

Danzhu is unrighteous, Xiao Shizhu knows that this kind of human soul is capricious, he will not, and will not allow such a human soul to live, otherwise it will become a big trouble for him in the future.

The pain in his feet made Dan Zhu unable to move, so he could only watch him slowly raise the Moon Destroying Sword above his head, and after the tip of the sword pointed directly at his Heavenly Spirit Gai, he glared at Tanuki Tianying who was standing behind him, sighed, and said softly: "Woe to Xiao Wall, it's really heaven that will kill me!" After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and his eyebrows closed with his eyes, and a look of discoloration appeared, but there was no fear.

The country is ruined, the heirs are ambushed, the courtiers are turned against each other, and Danzhu is no longer loveless.

"It's not that the sky is going to kill you, it's that you yourself will kill yourself if you do too much injustice!" Xiao Shizhu used the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand to pierce his Heavenly Spirit Gai without hesitation.

This Go saint, with a strong temperament, and the princes and kings who didn't know how to write morality all their lives, died so sadly......

At dawn, the cloudy sun had not yet risen, but the cold air at dawn had already filled the air in every corner of Danshui City, mixed with the bloody and scorching smell that permeated Danshui City, forming a breath full of death, inviting early crows to hover in the half-light and half-dark clouds and wailing.

The dew in the morning sun soaked the armor of the Xiao family's army, but they did not feel cold, but felt refreshed. After a night of fighting, the battle of Danshui City finally came to an end, and the victory belonged to the Xiao family's army.

The city of Danshui is littered with corpses, armor and weapons of the Devil's Leader, scattered in the devastated streets and crater-riddled streets, or in the ruins of military buildings.

Surprisingly, almost no damage was done to the city's homes, and civilian casualties were negligible.

At this time, the Xiao family army was busy building fortifications, escorting prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. And Xiao Shizhu, who also didn't sleep all night, didn't go to rest, but stood on the edge of the ruins of the burned Yuhua Palace.

Although the fire had been extinguished by the soldiers, the leafy giant tree was gone, and it became a pile of hot charcoal. The old canopy, the shade of the trees, has long since disappeared, and only the main trunk and a few thicker pillar roots remain, standing on the still somewhat hot ground, and the bare body is charred black.

"Look at the main trunk that can only be hugged by more than ten people, you can see how magnificent it used to be!" He looked at the ruins that were piled up like mountains and charcoal buried in the dark fire, and his eyes swept down on the thick and blackened trunk, and said to Hu Hui Luwu: "If it weren't for the guarantee of victory, I would really be reluctant to burn this big tree." ”。

"This is the necessity of war, and the eldest brother does not have to regret it. As soon as Lu Wu said this, Xiao Shizhu saw a team of Xiao Jiajun, escorting dozens of human soul prisoners who were shackled and tied together, slowly walking past him.

"Hey, that hundred. Curious at a glance, Xiao Shizhu took a few more glances at the prisoners, but when he saw that they were as thin as firewood, men, women, and children, all dressed in tattered clothes, in a state of malaise, and with a little fear on their faces, he called out to the hundred households who were escorting them, and asked in a deep voice: "Why are these souls all shackled? Didn't I order that even prisoners of war should not be allowed to do so?" As he spoke, his face was already gloomy.

According to Hu Hui's "Fumin Policy" dedicated to him, if the ghost mother country wants to conquer the Quartet, it must be able to treat even the prisoners of war who are about to be beheaded according to the law, then they must give the other party good food, drink, and care before going on the road. In this way, we can achieve both grace and power, show that the ghost mother country is by no means a country without Taoism, and win the hearts of the people everywhere.

After Xiao Shizhu saw it, he uncharacteristically did not use his sophistry to refute it, but happily accepted this suggestion, and ordered the whole army to do so at the first time. It also requires that no army in the ghost mother country shall intentionally injure innocent civilians when attacking cities and plundering land. Once civilians are inevitably harmed, after the war, it is necessary to care for the dead and raise the wounded.

It is precisely in this way that the collapse and damage in Danshui City is nothing more than military buildings such as arrow towers and arrow towers or dock forts, and the damage to private houses is very rare, and even if it is damaged, it is only a wall.

It is precisely because of this that after he took the two eastern cities of the Toutou Kingdom, not only did he not encounter resistance from local forces, but was supported by the local people.

But now there are sergeants who dare to openly disobey his orders, which makes Xiao Shizhu a little angry.

"Back to the general's words. When the hundred households heard this, they hurriedly stopped and explained to him: "These are not prisoners of war, but slaves in the slave market in Danshui City. The subordinates were about to escort them to register and see if there were any ghosts who wanted to buy them. ”。

"Slave market?" Xiao Shizhu was slightly stunned, and the gloom on his face gradually turned into puzzlement, and then he turned his head to look at Lu Wu and Hu Hui, and asked, "What is that?"

After coming to the underworld, he spent most of his time in the ghost mother country, because he didn't have such an institution, so Xiao Shizhu heard this term for the first time now.

"Slaves are traded in places where there are many demon spirits or vassal states ruled by demon spirits, and such markets are common. Hu replied with a laugh and said to him: "The main thing is to buy and sell human souls and ghost slaves, and to buy and sell human souls as cattle and horses, so it is also called the ghost slave market; as long as you have money, ......."

"Enough!" Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu suddenly shouted and interrupted him. He was also a human soul, and when he heard these words, he instantly became angry and turned evil into his guts, clenched his fists hard, let his fingertips sink deep into his palms, and said angrily: "Buying and selling human souls, trading slaves, does the Emperor of Xudu care?"

"This is the acquiescence of Emperor Xudu, and in the underworld has formed the stereotype that a slave is a slave and a slave all his life. The father is a slave, the son is too, and the grandson must be too; So far, from a ghost slave to a general, there is only you in the underworld. Lu Wu saw Xiao Shizhu, who was angry and angry, so he sighed and said: "Every year, tens of millions of slaves are resold in the underworld, and countless slaves are tired and die on the job. ”。 Every time he spat out a word, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes. He, like Yingzhao and the ghost mother, is one of the few ghosts who is unwilling to bully human souls even though he is a demon soul.

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Shizhu had already drawn out the Moon Destroying Sword and headed towards those slaves. When the slaves saw him with a fierce face and a long sword that shone with cold light, they were already trembling with fear.

But he didn't want to, Xiao Shizhu's first move after approaching them was to take a deep breath, and then suddenly swing his sword, cutting off a section of shackles that connected them together.

After a crisp "bang", the shackles easily broke into two sections.

"I declare that from now on, under Lao Tzu's rule, there will be no more slave trade!" Xiao Shizhu pulled up the top of the broken shackles, stroked the broken shackles with his fingers, put away his anger, looked around at the slaves, and said: "You are free; not only that, the Xiao family army will also divide the house and land for you and distribute farm tools." Before you are reborn, you can live a peaceful life in the underworld. ”。

Now, looking at these tortured human soul slaves with scars all over his body, he finally understood what the worry that Lu Wu and the others inadvertently showed when they heard that he was going to be a ghost slave in the city of Xudu, and suddenly realized why there were still officials who looked down on him after he was promoted by the ghost mother.

He was only a little different from these slaves, who were chained like cattle and horses, except for the lack of a pair of shackles. That is, there is no ghost slave market in the ghost mother country, and the ghost mother is not the kind of ghost who likes to oppress people's souls, so the officials and people in the country are not so snobbish and are a little polite to him. But the notion that a ghost slave is a ghost slave has been ingrained in their hearts. Even if Xiao Shizhu was reborn a hundred times in Nirvana, deep down in their hearts, they still thought that he was nothing more than the ghost slave who shoveled dog shit in the Tengu Garden.

What others think of him, he Xiao Shizhu has always cared, but looking at these slaves who were speechless in shock because of his actions, Xiao Shizhu, who always likes to do things that others dare not do and others can't do, suddenly made up his mind that no matter what, let them live a life that is no longer bought and sold, and discriminated against by ghosts.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around and said to Hu Hui and Lu Wu: "Pass the order, the Xiao family army, wherever the ghost mother army goes, liberate all slaves, and at the same time post a notice to all towns under the ghost mother country that no slave markets should be set up." If there is a reselling and selling person, he will be beheaded and shown to the public, and he will not be spared!"

As soon as these words came out, the slaves were stunned for a moment, and then they all burst into tears of gratitude, as if they saw a faint light in the boundless darkness, and they all trembled with excitement.

An old man with a stiff figure became bold, staggered up to him, stretched out his calloused hands, grabbed Xiao Shizhu's hands, and asked in a whimper: "Is this true?"

"Yes, old man, General Ben will not break his word. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head, stared at his deep-set eye sockets, and said seriously: "To be a human being, to be a ghost, you must be a ghost." In a while, I will have people divide the house and land for you, and if you don't have any points, I will ask the sergeant to build it for you. And from the Danshui City Treasury Treasury, I will allocate enough money for you to settle in. From now on, you are no longer slaves, but the people of my ghost mother country, and no ghost can treat you like cattle and horses anymore. ”。

"Long live the general!" The old man saw that he said so sincerely, he was already in tears, he bent his knees, and did not hesitate to kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Shizhu, and after choking up, he shouted: "Long live the general, long live the general!"

The rest of the slaves knelt down and cried out to him, "Long live the general." ”。
