Chapter 173: Evil
Li Wentai and more than 20 henchmen rode on horseback, driving more than 800 people through the endless desolate wilderness.
According to Wei Lin's intentions, the more than 800 people were first sent to Zhezhou to be temporarily settled, and then people were sent to Beijing to inform the emperor Zhu Sheng of the details, and Zhu Sheng decided how to deal with the more than 800 people in the end.
But Li Wentai has his own thoughts in his heart.
As far as Li Wentai is concerned, although the matter of the prostitute camp was discovered by Wei Lin, Wei Lin came to Qingzhou alone, and there was no envoy with him. In other words, the only human witness is Wei Lin himself, and the dwarf mountain cave as physical evidence has been burned down, and as long as these more than 800 people are dealt with, this matter will have to be argued.
At that time, as long as it was inferred that Wei Lin asked for a bribe, he couldn't succeed, and he was embarrassed and angry. With all the human and physical evidence destroyed, it was impossible for the emperor to convict himself based on Wei Lin's testimony alone.
After all, Li Wentai is Chang Gaoyuan's brother-in-law, as long as it is not ironclad, the emperor must take care of Chang Gaoyuan's face.
In this way, as long as it drags on for a little longer, most of the things will be turned into small things.
After serving in the army in Qingzhou for many years, Li Wentai can be said to be well aware of the surrounding topography. About five miles further ahead, there is a valley, which is suitable for killing people and destroying corpses.
"Speed up."
After deducing this idea several times in his heart, and after being sure that it was foolproof, Li Wentai, who was sitting on horseback, urged loudly.
Under the intimidation of swords, bows and crossbows, the team of more than 800 people gradually increased their speed and soon entered the valley. The boys and girls gathered on the flat ground in the middle of the valley to rest, and Li Wentai led people to the valley mouth.
The sergeants escorted this time were all Li Wentai's henchmen, so Li Wentai did not beat around the bush and said his plan straightforwardly, and the sergeants did not have any objections.
But how to do it is still a problem.
Even if it is more than 800 pieces of wood, it is not an easy task to cut down with only more than 20 people, not to mention that it is not wood, but more than 800 living people.
When the escort marched, he was obedient because he was afraid of being beaten and afraid of death. But at the time of life and death, the energy that erupted together with more than 800 people was still not to be underestimated.
However, the reason why Li Wentai chose this valley is naturally because he has already thought of a way in his heart.
At that moment, he ordered some people to stay at the mouth of the valley to prevent the people inside from escaping, and the other part to go around to collect wood.
At that time, all you need to do is pile up enough wood at the mouth of the valley, put a fire, and blow the burning smoke into the valley with the help of the wind, and with the smoke you can smoke some people to death.
It is quite a vicious and cruel method of killing, but it is also extremely effective.
It seems that in Li Wentai's eyes, the 800 people in the valley are not the subjects of the empire that he guards, or even the human race, but just more than 800 animals that can be killed and taken alive.
It's just a pity that the money spent on buying people is blamed on Wei Lin's eunuch for ruining his good deeds.
In the near future, I am afraid that there will be no way for the sergeants to vent, and I don't know if it will affect morale and lead to a decline in combat effectiveness. However, at this time, the demon side is busy harvesting the forage of cattle and sheep for the winter, and according to the law of previous years, there are usually a few small-scale conflicts in the next month. And big battles usually don't happen until the first snow falls.
The sergeants split up, while Li Wentai found a flat stone and sat down to close his eyes and rest.
I was really tired after a busy night last night.
I just had some pajamas, but I felt a chill in my chest, and then a sharp pain hit.
Li Wentai was shocked, wanted to roll and dodge, and wanted to shout for help, but his body couldn't exert any strength.
Burst!
The trachea is punctured, and blood pours down the wound like a trachea, and then flows upstream, spurting out of the mouth and nose.
"Do you know why the miscellaneous family didn't just kill you?"
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Li Wentai didn't dare
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Wei... Wei Lin!
How did this gelding end up here?
Why did he kill himself?
"How can you say that the miscellaneous family is also old, and you have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten rice, and you want to hide the eyes of the miscellaneous family even if you are careful?"
Wei Lin, who came out of the ground like a ghost, stood closely behind Li Wentai, blocking the sight of the sergeants guarding the valley mouth with his figure, and plunged a dagger into Li Wentai's back until it was out of control.
"For... For... What..."
Li Wentai asked in a faint voice while coughing up blood from between his teeth.
"Didn't the miscellaneous family say that when I was in Kyoto City, I learned something from Fen Chengbo. Hehe, I just didn't say it all at the time. In addition to learning some of the fur of solving cases, the miscellaneous family also learned from Fenchengbo that the majesty of the law should not be offended.
And don't forget, the miscellaneous family is still the servant of the Immortal Division, and the exercises practiced are the god-catching tricks created by the gods. If you don't have the reverence for the law in your heart, how can you become a monk of the Immortal Division? Killed so many people of Dayan, killed so many people's families, Li Wentai, Li Wentai, you really deserve to die!
It's a pity that the miscellaneous family cares about the overall situation, and can't arrest you, a thief, and put you in prison according to the law. I can only use this shady method to give an account to those who have been killed by you."
Wei Lin gritted his teeth and said in Li Wentai's ear.
"Kill... Kill me... You don't... Don't be afraid..."
"Did it cause the Qingzhou battalion mutiny? That's why the miscellaneous family designed to trick you out. The soldiers of Xuanhuang Pass saw with their own eyes that the miscellaneous family returned to the tent to sleep, and the miscellaneous family had no time to kill at all. And Zhang Hua can testify that the miscellaneous family has been trying to help you cover up this matter, so that there is no motive for killing.
Besides, you're not the only one in the world who will destroy your body. Find a random place to dig a pit and bury a few people in the wilderness here, even if the gods come, they can't find it. If you can't find a body, you can't be sure if you're dead or alive, or maybe you've absconded in fear of crime."
Li Wentai had a frightened look on his face when he heard this.
"How? Do you regret it? I'm about to die, aren't you scared? Does the wound hurt?"
Wei Lin turned the dagger and cut a large piece of flesh and blood on Li Wentai's back.
Of course, Li Wentai was in pain, and the pain made him convulse all over his body and unable to breathe. But the physical pain is nothing compared to the fear in the heart.
Murder and heartbreaking!
Murder and heartbreaking!
As a descendant of the Li family in the same state, Li Wentai could have been prosperous and wealthy and had no worries in his life, but why did he come to Qingzhou to suffer in such a bitter cold place?
Just because he is unwilling to waste this life and wants to make an earth-shattering career.
Originally, the best choice was to enter the Book Mountain, but Li Wentai had no talent for cultivation. Even so, for the sake of the Li family in Tongzhou, Shushan is still willing to accept Li Wentai.
In fact, as long as you are willing to throw resources, even a fool can attract spiritual energy into the body to complete the foundation building. It's just that due to the limitations of the natural roots, the seven grades of the human realm are already the limit of his cultivation, and he is destined to have no hope for a higher level in his life.
Most of the children of the wealthy family are arrogant, and they would rather be the head than the phoenix, and Li Wentai also thinks so.
Since there is no hope of cultivation, then leave a name in history.
If you want to leave a name in history, you naturally prefer to be an official.
After weighing the two options of being a civil official or a military general for a long time, Li Wentai finally decided to defect to his brother-in-law Chang Gaoyuan and come to the frontier to make contributions.
The Dayan court is now a pool of stagnant water, and it is either party fighting or blaming each other all day long, which is neither interesting nor meaningful.
It is still bordering the demons, and there are more opportunities for border passes where large and small wars occur all year round.
After several years of hard work, although he is now famous, he is still a long way from Li Wentai's expectations.
This time, the brother-in-law was secretly recalled to Kyoto by the emperor, obviously to make a big move, and this was also an excellent opportunity for Li Wentai.
The only great opportunity in this life is just around the corner, but I am about to bury my body in the wilderness!
This makes Li Wentai, who has been working hard for many years, how can he accept it and be willing?..
But at this moment, there is no choice and no choice.
"Ah~"
Li Wentai let out an unwilling roar.
The roar alarmed the soldiers guarding the valley, and Wei Lin stopped talking nonsense, and the dagger cut through Li Wentai's heart and sent him back to the west.
Several soldiers came to kill with knives, but Wei Lin did not show any mercy, and slapped everyone to death with one palm.
"That's all the miscellaneous family can do, I hope to resolve some of your grievances and go to the world to be reincarnated."
Wei Lin whispered a few words in the direction of the low mountain, and then walked into the valley.
The more than 800 people gathered in the valley didn't know what was going on outside, and when they saw Wei Lin walking in front of them with murderous aura, they all showed a look of horror.
Bang bang.
Wei Lin threw several swords and crossbow arrows that he had picked up from Li Wentai and the soldiers into the open space in front of the crowd.
"Li Wentai's evil deeds were exposed, and in order to destroy the evidence, he wanted to burn them all to death in the valley. Now that Li Wentai has been ambushed, there are still more than a dozen of his henchmen who are about to return. The miscellaneous things that can be done have already been done, and it is up to you to decide whether to live or die next."
With that, Wei Lin turned around and walked out of the valley, and soon disappeared.
After all, they are all young boys and girls who have never seen the world, and they have been bullied for a long time, and they suddenly became a pot of porridge.
Some fell to their knees and wept loudly, others shouted hysterically, and most flocked to the valley mouth, trying to escape before the soldiers who collected the timber returned.
Whoosh!
More than a dozen crossbow arrows struck with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and more than a dozen people who ran at the forefront were pierced by the crossbow arrows, and fell to the ground with a wailing and died miserably.
The soldiers who gathered the timber returned early.
"Ah~"
The crowd immediately screamed and retreated into the valley, and the people who had fallen behind became obstacles, knocked down by the backward crowd, trampled on the flesh and blood blurred, not human.
