Chapter 284: Cutting down mountains and destroying temples, the method of punishing the heart
In the chaotic boudoir, a beautiful woman in her thirties wearing a green gauze breast-length skirt was tied to the ground.
Red blood beads splashed on her chest, green, white, red, intertwined with each other, giving people a special beauty.
Although she had a strip of cloth wrapped around her right arm, blood was already oozing out.
[Su Fang, deputy hall master of Dongyang Branch of Wuhua Hall, a native of Chun'an, Muzhou, is a congenital true seed primitive. 】
The deputy hall master of the Dongyang branch was easily taken down by Qiu Zhenmu, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
The thirty killers in the entire Lichun Courtyard all died under the crossbow arrows, spears and hook sickles, and none of them survived.
Su Fang looked at the group of people in front of her with a look of resentment, and wanted to pounce on it and bite the people on the opposite side fiercely, but it was a pity that the hemp rope on her body was tied too dead.
Circle after circle, it is difficult to move, not to say, but there is a bit of spring.
But at the moment, no one's attention was on her, even if the scenery was charming, but it was no match for a roster on the table.
Looking at the nearly forty names detailed on the roster, Li Xuan looked at the county lieutenant Kang Yao in disbelief: "This thing can't be fake, right?"
Kang Yao didn't speak yet, but the county Cheng Gu Tan directly said: "It can't be fake, this includes not only Li Lao and Huang Joining, but also Si Cao's Joiner's command, the main bookkeeper's command, and several personnel under the command of the Judicial Joiner's Army, even if there is an occasional omission, but these must be all traitors and fellow thieves."
"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's true, we can't let our guard down because of this, but we can't wronged others because of this, even if it is all the people on this list, we must find something in their homes or other residences, and have empirical evidence before we can finally be convicted."
"The prince is thoughtful." Gu Tan and Kang Yao gave up their hands at the same time, but the excitement and joy between their expressions were still unconcealed.
The reason why the two of them rushed over from the county government in a hurry was because with this list alone, they could eradicate all the Tianyin Sect bandits in the entire Dongyang County City.
I don't know how much I have to save.
As long as all the Tianyin Sect bandits in the entire Dongyang County are eradicated, then they can slowly clean up the tax yellow book of the entire Dongyang County little by little.
"Lord Wang, can I leave now?" The catcher on the side was already a little impatient.
Today, even the big-headed soldiers under Bing Cao have made great contributions, and only his subordinates have made the least contributions.
Nothing else, but in this kind of door-to-door search and arrest, they are the best at it.
Li Xuan didn't answer immediately, but he was still looking over the roster in front of him, and then seemed to say to himself: "Except for some people in the county government, the people in this roster are all ordinary people in the city, not a single person outside the city, and not a wealthy family, nor a scholarly family, but there are only thirty ordinary people, a full thirty."
"Indeed, these thirty men were divided among a dozen different quarters, some of them only three or two people, and some of them as many as five or six, and they should have been divided according to the size of the population, and if there was any change, they would immediately cause unrest in the whole city." Gu Tan could imagine what kind of scene it would be if something happened to Dongyang.
"These people are not ordinary Tianyin cultists, they are all warriors who are good at fighting, thirty people, good thirty people." Li Xuan turned his head sideways, looked at Su Fang who was tied to the ground, and sneered: "There are thirty people on the side of the ancient tower, and now there are thirty people in Lichun Courtyard, and there are thirty people on this roster, so I don't know how many thirty people there are outside the city, all of them are elite soldiers who have been killed on the battlefield.
But the layout of the Tianyin Sect in Dongyang, in addition to these warriors, there are more believers in the Tianyin Goddess, once there is a change, with these elite battles as the core, they will gather and rise, and they can affect the entire Dongyang in a short period of time.
Those ordinary believers who are not on the roster are the difficult point of this disposal, Gu Xiancheng, this king remembers that you once said that there are many of these people in Dongyang."
Gu Tan's face
With a slight change, Li Xuan completely uncovered the entire plan of the Tianyin Sect in Dongyang in a few words.
However, although there are only 30 people on the roster, once it spreads, even 300 people can't stop it.
"There are many believers in the Tianyin Goddess in Dongyang, and if they are all arrested, even if the county prison is full, they can't let go." Gu Tan could only bow his hand to Li Xuan with some begging, and said with some embarrassment: "The prince also once said that for such things, the prince's methods should be more appropriate."
"It's natural, but only if you listen!" Li Xuan looked at Gu Tan with a smile. z.br>
He already had a whole set of means to deal with the Tianyin Sect in his mind, but he was afraid that Gu Tan would not dare to execute it, or to execute it selectively.
"The lower officials absolutely obey orders." Gu Tan also stared at Li Xuan, he was really curious about Li Xuan's method.
Li Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Let's raid the house first, one by one, one by one, this king believes that in these people's homes, they will definitely be able to find things like tablets, portraits and carvings...... There is no need to do more, and if you find it in someone's house, let everyone in their family spit on it...... With a mouthful of spit, the sin of the person who sits together will be lessened."
"Lord Wang, that's the crime of conspiracy!" Gu Tan couldn't help but remind.
"Nature." Li Xuan nodded calmly, and then said, "This king knows this, and what this king is really targeting is not the bandit's family, but the bandit himself. If he is able to repent under the influence of his family, this king does not mind asking His Majesty to be beheaded, and if not, let him confront his family......
Gu Tan and Kang Yao looked at each other, looking at each other, but they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Where is this kind of repentance, this is obviously the method of punishing the heart.
Let the family of a Tianyin cultist spit on the tablet, portrait and carving of the Tianyin Holy Maiden, and the family will immediately become enemies.
Under each other's bites, who knows what will happen.
Gu Tan suddenly raised his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang, this is not for a Tianyin Sect family at all, but for all the people in the city.
The prince is warning and deterring more people from revering the goddess of Tianyin, either his wife is separated, his family turns against him, or he is beheaded all over the house.
In this way, there will be very few people in the entire Dongyang who are still willing to become Tianyin Sect disciples in the end, and they will even be spurned by the whole city."
Li Xuan showed a faint smile on his face, shook his head, and said that he might not be so calculating, and said casually: "In fact, there are still many shallow believers, and there is still a chance to turn back."
Gu Tan wanted to laugh on his face, but he couldn't laugh, he could only arch his hand and say, "The lower official obeys the order of the prince, and he will do it immediately."
"If someone is willing to repent, he can be pulled in front of the people in the neighborhood to show his strength in heart." Li Xuan paused slightly, turned around, looked at Su Fang on the ground and said, "If not, you can find a way to make one or two, so you don't need this king to teach."
"Yes!" Gu Tan and Kang Yao, as well as the rest of the room, retreated at the same time.
Inexplicably, they all felt a chill.
Li Xuan lowered his body, reached out to caress Su Fang's smooth cheeks, and said softly, "If the people arrested tonight are still unwilling to repent, then tomorrow at noon, in front of the whole city, they will all be beheaded."
Su Fang's eyes suddenly revealed incomparable hatred.
Because she was also beheaded.
"How many people in this building do you think will survive tonight?" Li Xuan looked out the window, and could see one after another women wearing light veils being pulled out from a distance.
These are the female prostitutes in this brothel, some are popular, some are not very popular, some are Qingqi, there are also maids and servants, and a group of little girls who have not yet been trained.
"Now that they are all tainted with the crime of rebellion, in the eyes of this king, three thousand miles is the lightest punishment, and as women, you should know what is the most severe punishment for them...... A great war is coming, and a great army is gathered!" Li Xuan's voice was faint
, but kept drilling into Su Fang's ears.
"Woo woo woo ......" Su Fang twisted her body vigorously, trying to curse, but the strip of cloth in her mouth strangled her mouth.
Li Xuan pinched Su Fang's small jaw with one hand, and looked at her with cold eyes: "You should have expected this kind of result a long time ago, even if there is no army of the imperial court, your people will not let go of these poor women, so don't make such a look like a virgin...... If you really want to save those people, then tell this king, who is the hall master of your Tianyin Sect in Dongyang?"
In a word, Li Xuan just said a word, and Su Fang had already changed color.
"Isn't that weird? I wonder why this king knows about this man?" Li Xuan sneered and said disdainfully: "With your means, you can only succeed in Huang Ziming in the end, but if you want to succeed in an old fox like Master Li, who is cunning and cunning, it is almost impossible, and he will not look down on you, a low-born bustard mother......
"Why can't it be him?" Su Fang blurted out a sentence directly, I don't know when, Li Xuan had already pulled down the strip of cloth on her mouth.
"Of course it can't be him, the rules of officialdom are too strict, even if he is the master, he can't mess around at will.
Now is the time when our affairs are urgent, if the principal is trapped in the official mansion, how can he foresee and deal with it in time, so your hall master, even if he is a person in the official mansion, must be the kind of person who can travel around the entire Dongyang at any time, not limited to the county town, so that there are far fewer such people."
Li Xuan's body was weak and leaned back, and his face showed a look of thought.
At this moment, Su Fang seemed to be able to clearly see several names, and in a flash from Li Xuan's eyes, there was the person she was most worried about.
Li Xuan lowered his head suddenly, looked at Su Fang, and suddenly laughed: "This king knows who it is, I really didn't expect that it would be him, with his background and status, he would actually collude with your people, it's really strange!"
"No, it's not him, you're thinking nonsense, it's not him." Li Xuan shook his head and said softly: "In the entire Dongyang, there are only three or five people with such influence, the Enji Zen Master of Dadong Temple, the Zhou Sacrifice Wine of the County School, and Liu ......, the son of the patriarch of the first wealthy clan in Dongyang, known as the first genius of Dongyang."
"No, it's not him, it's really not him, you guessed wrong, you guessed wrong." Su Fang's body kept moving, wanting to pounce on Li Xuan.
But Li Xuan just turned around slightly, and avoided it directly, he stood up expressionlessly, and then said indifferently: "I still want to thank you for directly confirming that there were originally five or six candidates here in this king, but you easily gave the answer.
Tomorrow, this king will ask that Liu Gongzi to watch the execution, let him watch his men, one by one beheaded in front of him, do you say he will save or not."
"You devil." Su Fang looked at Li Xuan with a roar, and seeing that she couldn't pounce on Li Xuan, she gritted her teeth vigorously and made a burst of "rattle" sounds.
Li Xuan leaned over to look at Su Fang and said in a low voice, "The people who were beheaded this time were basically Tianyin bandits who were caught and did not repent...... Don't worry, there's no you here."
"Ugh!" Su Fang was stunned for a while, and the next moment, she saw that Li Xuan had already walked to the door, and a heart-rending roar suddenly sounded: "You stop, no, I beg you, kill me......
"Lord Wang, tomorrow at noon, are we really going to behead so many people at once?"
"Of course not, the execution of a person at noon requires an edict from the imperial court, not to mention that it involves rebellion...... But if someone comes to rob the Dharma Field, that's a different matter!"
