Houqiu County, Donghai County, belonged to the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was placed in Houqiu County during the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Houqiu County is a large county, originally with a large population and fertile land, but later due to the long-term war, the population of Houqiu County decreased sharply, the fields were deserted, and all industries withered, and there were only more than 5,000 households left in Houqiu County at present, less than 20,000 people.

The city of Houqiu County has also been dilapidated due to the impact of the war and disrepair, and there are many gaps in the city wall, so you can enter the city without going through the city gate. At the city gate of Houqiu County, there is only one of the two gates left, which is useless.

"Into town!" Led the army to Houqiu County, the Great Yan State Pingliang Marquis, General Jianzhong, the Governor of Donghai, and the Taishou Zhou Fugui of Donghai County waved his hand and ordered.

There was a civil uprising in Houqiu County and other places, and after Zhou Fugui led the army to Houqiu County, he and Suo Da's subordinates attacked from both sides and quickly defeated the rebels. It is said that it is a chaotic army, but in fact, it is the people, for the hungry people of Houqiu County, the weapons in their hands are also varied, there is everything, but most of them are unarmed, so they are not vulnerable at all.

When the army arrived, the rebels in Houqiu County scattered and fled, killing a lot and catching a lot.

The iron armor was sonorous, the horses' hooves were bursting, and the army of the Snow Gang army surrounded Zhou Fugui and drove towards the city.

"Slash!" A general of the Xue Xuan Army rode on his horse, looked at the more than 100 thieves who were kneeling on the bank of the moat with their hands tied behind their backs, and coldly ordered.

More than 100 Bingxueliang broadswords were raised high, and fell powerfully, the sound of the big knife into the flesh and the sound of the broken neck continued to sound, blood splashed, splashed a blood mist, more than 100 heads fell to the ground, rolled into the moat, the sound of "poof" continued to sound, stirring up a small wave, in a moment, the water of the moat was dyed red, rippling in the microwave, just like the blood river in purgatory.

The heads of the people who fell into the water were picked up by many soldiers of the Snow Gang Army with nets, and the reason was that they would hang their heads above the city gate to deter the rebels.

Ay! Zhou Fugui, who led the army into the city, glanced at it, and sighed in his heart, whether it was in his eyes, in his heart, or in his flesh.

Donghai County has a hundred industries to be prospered, and the most critical or primary thing to be prospered is people, due to the impact of war, plague and other effects, the population of Houqiu County has decreased sharply, at this time there was a civil uprising, but a lot of people died, how can Zhou Fugui not feel sad?

But Zhou Fugui had to do it, and he had to give this order.

These more than 100 thieves all took advantage of the chaos to loot, extort, and extort the people's property, raped the women of the people's families, and committed adultery. They may have been just ordinary people in the past, but now they have become thieves in troubled times, so Zhou Fugui had to kill them to set an example.

Human beings will change, human nature will also change, and suppressed desires or evil thoughts, once they lose their suppression, will flood like a flood. And the government or the legal code, in the troubled times, is nothing, and some people in the government even collude with the thieves in the troubled times, and they are embarrassed and colluded.

How to restore order and restore the tranquility of Donghai County is another difficult problem in front of Zhou Fugui.

"You... Why is it so cruel? More than 100 heads fell to the ground, and more than 100 headless corpses fell horizontally and vertically by the moat, which frightened Huang Daimei, the eldest lady of the Huang family who rode into the city with Zhou Fugui, to hide her face and dare not look at it again, but complained loudly.

Before coming, Huang Daimei, who boasted that she had seen the world and was not afraid of anything, was frightened by this bloody scene, and her face was discolored... I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I didn't approve of what Zhou Fugui did.

"The order of the Governor, do you dare to say anything?" Zhou Fugui was annoyed and depressed in his heart, and when he heard this, he glared at Huang Daimei and said angrily.

"I... I..."Zhou Fugui raised his eyebrows angrily, and took out the majesty of the governor of the East China Sea, and was suddenly so frightened that Huang Daimei didn't dare to speak anymore, but there was some grievance in her heart, tears rolled in her eyes, and I was dripping with tears...

"You have two words, be quiet or ask later, so loud, you make Bendu lose face..."Seeing this, Zhou Fugui felt a little unbearable, so he whispered to Huang Daimei.

When Huang Daimei heard this, she immediately turned her crying into amusement, approached Zhou Fugui's side, and whispered in his ear: "I know, the little woman has offended the prestige of the Grand Duke, and forgiveness is a ... Are those people going to be killed too? ”

The two horses approached, rubbing against each other, the two of them also relied on each other for a long time, whispering, people who know, it is not surprising, but what they don't know, but they think that Zhou Fugui has a habit of dragon yang, and Huang Daimei is his favorite child...

Zhou Fugui glanced at the thousands of rebels who were tied up and escorted into the city behind him, and replied coldly: "This governor is going to cook them alive, do you believe it?" ”

"Faith! I believe it! Huang Daimei was suddenly angry when she heard this, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she said loudly: "So cruel and unkind, you are not afraid of breaking Yangshou?" ”

According to legend, Zhou Fugui is a person who cares for the people and loves the people, but it is better to see it than to hear it, it turns out that he is a fierce and cruel person, although these thousands of rebels are guilty, but they will not all be killed, right? So how many people is he going to kill in this Houqiu County?

That's not the case with the killer, right? What she did before was just a false act, or she pretended to love the people like a son, but in fact she was a cold-blooded butcher, Huang Daimei even thought so.

But his previous act of saving the people didn't seem to be pretended, so now it's pretended? At this time, Huang Daimei was simply confused and confused...

】

"Hehe, these people have lost their longevity?" Zhou Fugui grinned when he heard this, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, but because his face was covered with a cloth, he could only see the outline of the white teeth... looked at Huang Daimei and said with a smile: "Bendu has killed countless people in the past, according to your words, isn't it that Yangshou has been refrigerated?" ”

Zhou Fugui said that, he no longer paid attention to Huang Daimei, waved his horsewhip, and rode his horse into the city of Houqiu County.

Although Zhou Fugui's face is covered with a cloth, the exposed eyes, eyebrows, and sword eyebrows are very good-looking, but when they fall in Huang Daimei's eyes at this moment, they are so hideous and terrifying.

Huang Daimei wanted to leave and return to her brother, but after thinking about it, she bit her silver teeth and rode her horse into the city.

"Tom... Tong... Tom..."

"Woo... Woo... Woo..."

In a large open space outside the county government in Houqiu County, the drum of murder has been beaten, the horn of murder has been sounded, and the remaining people of Houqiu County have been driven here.

There is a three-order platform in the open space, Yanping Lianghou, General Jianzhong, the Governor of the East China Sea, and the Taishou Zhou Fugui of the East China Sea County, with the whole body draped, standing on the platform with a heavy sword in his hand, and on both sides are the personal soldiers such as Vi Xi and Hu Ji who wear helmets and armor. On the side of the platform is more than 100 cauldrons, the dry wood under the cauldron is burning vigorously, the cauldron is constantly steaming, and the cauldron is full of water.

On the left side of the platform knelt more than 3,000 captured rebels, and on the left side were the rich families and gentry of Houqiu County who were "invited", and there were many people who watched and beheaded, and the rest of the people in Houqiu County were almost all driven here.

It seems that Zhou Fugui's statement of cooking people alive is not a joke, and the people who will be cooked alive are the more than 3,000 rebels kneeling in the audience, so that everyone is not possessed. Huang Daimei stood aside sadly, and what made her sad was that she Huang Daimei saw the wrong person.

Such a large-scale killing is the first time in the history of Houqiu County.

It's just that what made the people of Houqiu County feel extremely incomprehensible was that everyone present was forced to cover their faces with a white cloth, including Zhou Fugui and his five thousand iron horsemen.

"Are you convicted?" The sound of drums and trumpets stopped, Zhou Fugui walked to the platform with a heavy sword in his hand, looked at the group of rebels and asked coldly.

"Grand Duke, we are not guilty!" Most of the rebels were as dead as ashes, bowing their heads and not daring to answer, only one old rebel asked.

"Rebellion, robbery, adulterous daughters, etc., dare not be guilty?" Zhou Fugui said coldly.

"Governor, there is no food, no water, no medicine, I am just waiting for a bite to eat, for a decoction to cure the disease!" The more the old man spoke, the angrier he became, and the louder he roared.

"Hmph, take the opportunity to rebel, take the opportunity to make trouble, will there be food to eat, and there will be a decoction to cure the disease?" Zhou Fugui snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Governor, otherwise, how can we, and the grass people, survive?" The old man asked rhetorically.

"Humph!" Zhou Fugui seemed speechless, and then pointed his sword at the rich and wealthy gentry in Houqiu County and asked, "Are you guilty?" ”

"Governor, what are I guilty of?" A wealthy man asked in amazement.

"Closing the house, refusing to beg for food, or even shooting him, dare to say that he is not guilty?" Zhou Fugui asked coldly.

When the rich and wealthy gentry of Houqiu County made a great deal of epidemic and the civil uprising occurred, they closed their doors one by one, refusing anyone to come to beg for food and medicine, and so on, they guarded according to the village or village, killing or injuring the people who came to beg for food and medicine, Zhou Fugui was of course extremely indignant after learning about it.

But just because of this, Zhou Fugui also wants to cook them alive, is it a little inappropriate?

"Governor, what is the crime of us not killing any innocent people, but only driving and intimidating, and not harming innocent people? And let them in, the villain and the whole family are not guaranteed! The rich man retorted unconvinced.

It turns out that this Hu Dadu Governor, this Han thief, wants to have a pot? I didn't invite them to come and see the fun... Many wealthy and wealthy gentry suddenly realized in their hearts.

"Hehe, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do!" Zhou Fugui sneered when he heard this: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and today's fruit is the cause of yesterday." ”

"Someone!" Zhou Fugui then ignored them and ordered loudly.

With Zhou Fugui's order, countless Xue Zhen soldiers rushed up and walked towards everyone... A large iron pot boiling on the side.
