Chapter 291: Survive and live, and ask the dead to die
"The so-called killing of gods is just a punishment of the heart."
Li Xuan stood at the window, tilted his head slightly, looked at Liu Ji, and asked lightly, "Captain Liu, how many people do you think will abandon their faith in order to survive."
"There won't be a single one." Liu Ji replied coldly, but his eyes were fixed on the vegetable market in the distance.
clenched fists, his face gloomy.
Kang Yao was standing there, below was the commotion of the crowd, and on the side were the Tianyin Sect disciples who were about to be beheaded, except for Xu San, who had already begged for mercy, everyone else lowered their heads, their long hair hung down, and they couldn't see each other.
Li Xuan's gaze fell on Liu Ji's cuffs, and he said calmly, "The dagger on the captain's sleeve can't help this king, even if it's coated with broken intestine grass."
Suddenly, Liu Ji clenched his cuffs tightly.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.
At this time, Li Xuan had already looked in the direction of the vegetable market again.
Although he didn't say a word, although he was close at hand, Liu Ji didn't dare to move at all.
"Wait, but there are still ...... who are willing to repent" Kang Yao lowered his head and looked at the Tianyin Sect disciple who bowed his head on the side.
But at this time, no one looked up, no one answered.
The common people below breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, especially among them, nearly half of the Tianyin Sect disciples.
"This official asks a second time, but is anyone willing to repent?" Kang Yao's voice suddenly became cold, with his hands behind his back, and his face was cold.
At this moment, the executioners behind those death row inmates stepped forward at the same time and stood behind those death row inmates, holding a big knife in their hands, but their eyes were fixed on the back of the necks of those death row inmates, with a murderous awe.
As time passed, the whole market gradually quieted down.
The people below, at this time, also lost their voices inexplicably.
The silence at the entrance of the entire vegetable market became more and more silent, and at this moment, Kang Yao's voice sounded again: "This official asks the third and last time, among you, is there anyone who is willing to repent?"
Kang Yao's voice echoed throughout the vegetable market, and inexplicably, everyone's hearts were pinched.
Liu Dao looked coldly at the death row prisoners on the ground, his eyes swept over Kang Yao's body, and finally turned his head sideways to the back, his left hand was raised slightly, and a series of instructions had been sent out between gestures.
The family guards behind him quickly dispersed and stood in different positions.
If you look closely, you can immediately find that these people have faintly surrounded the entire high platform, and as long as they move, they can immediately kill the high platform.
Kang Yao didn't seem to see all of this at all, his attention was still on those Tianyin Sect bandits, watching them say coldly: "Since no one wants to, then the executioner, behead!"
Just when Kang Yao gave the order to behead, Liu Dao was also ready for his subordinates to prepare to burst out and beg for help, and his hand had been slowly raised.
The executioner in the back, stepping forward, was already standing beside the death row prisoner, the decapitator in his hand raised, but very slowly.
At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were on these executioners.
The cold sword light slowly flashed in front of the eyes of a death row inmate, as if the sword light of the cold gaze shot directly into his heart.
Almost instantly, everyone saw that the death row inmate suddenly trembled inexplicably.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, a trembling voice sounded: "I...... I...... I do!"
As if all the strength of his body had been drained, the death row prisoner suddenly fell to the ground, trembling all over his body.
Liu Dao below clenched his fists in an instant.
He couldn't believe that there were still people who had reneged on their faith at the last minute.
As if it was like opening Pandora's box, another death row inmate who was close to him also trembled violently, and his whole head fell directly to the ground: "Villain, beg for forgiveness."
At this time, even other death row inmates are difficult
I looked at the people before me begging for mercy.
However, to everyone's surprise, the third death row inmate next to him bowed his head at the same time: "Villain, please forgive me too!"
"And the villain."
"And the villain......
A series of cries rang out throughout the market, one after the other, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.
Liu Dao below suddenly thought of some inappropriate places before, and a confused thought appeared in his mind.
Then, Kang Yao didn't give him time at all: "This official is generous, and he will not hold you accountable for the crime of delaying time, how to do it, you should also be clear, come and help them up."
The executioners behind the death row inmates, as soon as their right hands were retracted, the beheading knives in mid-air had been retracted between their right arms, and then they used their left hands to support the death row inmates one by one in front of the tablet.
Needless to say, in the extremely horrified eyes of everyone at the entrance of the vegetable market, these death row prisoners all urinated on the portrait and tablet of the goddess of Tianyin one by one.
The Tianyin Sect disciples below had already clenched their fists tightly, and the atmosphere at the entrance of the entire vegetable market was very depressing, as if there was only one spark, which could be detonated immediately.
Many believers looked at their altar master, and the eyes of Liu Dao's guards fell on him even more.
But at this time, Liu Dao was still hesitating, he had already smelled something wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong for a while.
Kang Yao didn't wait for them to react, he walked directly to the center of the high platform, unfolded a yellow list in his hand, and began to read it loudly.
"Under the sky, the emperor's grace is vast, and now there are Tianyin rebels, who want to conspire and make trouble, disrupt the design of the country, and now Fengwuzhou don't drive, the king of Nanchang County, and the inspector Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang will order: Dongyang County, from now on, make every effort to investigate the Tianyin rebels, and the people's homes shall not have any portraits of the goddess of Tianyin, stone carvings, wood carvings, etc., and those who have them will be sentenced to rebellion.
I don't know what to do; His father and his son over sixteen years old were hanged; Wives and concubines and sons under the age of fifteen, as well as mothers, daughters, sons' wives and concubines, grandsons, grandfathers, brothers and sisters, are all appointed as servants; The subordinates, slaves, wealth, and farms in the family are all unofficial; Uncles and nephews, whether they live together or not, will flow for 3,000 miles."
Kang Yao's voice was unusually cold, but it came into everyone's ears very clearly.
Everyone looked at Kang Yao in disbelief, and some of them, the anger and hatred in their eyes almost wanted to burn Kang Yao to death.
Over the years, the goddess of Tianyin has been circulating in Muzhou, Wuzhou, Quzhou, Kuozhou, Taizhou, Yuezhou, Hangzhou and other places.
Slogans such as "In the afterlife, only hope for light", "The goddess of Tianyin, the hometown of Tianzuo", and "Have mercy on the world, forever ascend to the kingdom of God" and other slogans have spread widely in the southeast, which shows that the teachings have won the hearts of the people.
Now these people, who often worship the goddess of Tianyin on weekdays, are at least more than thirty percent.
There are countless people who usually worship from time to time, and almost all of them are worshiped by relatives and friends in the family.
Just now, the government used life *** to force those death row prisoners to give up their faith and desecrate the statue of the goddess of Tianyin, which has already had an extremely fierce impact on everyone's body and mind.
Their anger against the government and those traitors has long been fierce to the extreme.
Now as long as someone takes the lead, they will immediately rush to the high platform and tear Kang Yao and the others apart directly.
At the juncture when his anger was about to be ignited, Kang Yao suddenly spoke: "Today's execution is over, and everyone has returned to their homes, but those who come to watch the execution today, when they leave, as long as they spit on the statue of the Tianyin Holy Maiden at the entrance of the alley, from now on, no one will pursue the suspicion of rebellion, but if you don't, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to leave today."
Hearing Kang Yao's this, everyone subconsciously looked towards the alleys on both sides, and suddenly saw that several people in the clothes had already pasted the portraits of the goddess of Tianyin at the entrance of the alley.
Sensing everyone's gaze, those tied clothes sneered disdainfully, and then spit directly on the portrait of the Tianyin Goddess. Z.br>
Looking at the filthy saliva flowing down, the anger in the hearts of some people was completely ignited in an instant: "Kill these dogs......
With a "whoosh", a long arrow shot down directly from mid-air, and then slammed into the throat of the person who opened the mouth, and his words were completely blocked.
Before the people at the entrance of the vegetable market could react, at this time, more long arrows were shot down in mid-air, and in a blink of an eye, they had been nailed to the heads of many tall and strong men present, and in an instant, the blood of twenty or thirty people burst out, and then slowly fell to the ground, and there was no more sound.
Watching the blood slowly flow under their feet, the ordinary people who were originally angry shivered all over their bodies, as if their backbones had been broken, lowered their heads, and stared at the blood below.
On the high platform, more than a dozen archers kept opening their bows and pulling arrows, and at the same time rushed out from both sides of the high platform, their hands were like thunderbolts, and they kept shooting out of the strings, and when they completely stood still, dozens of people had completely fallen to the ground at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the blood flowed for a long time, and there was no sound.
Liu Dao lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and didn't dare to move.
He had the feeling that at this moment, he didn't know how many archers were staring at him.
As soon as he made the slightest move, countless long arrows would immediately pierce it directly.
Those who fell to the ground now were either the family guards he had brought in, or the altar masters of the various squares in the city, and now they had all fallen to the ground.
Even with one or two exceptions, they are the most faithful believers in the church.
These people are now dead, and Liu Dao now understands completely.
Today is a killing game against these people, using the rebellion of those death row prisoners on the high platform to identify the loyal Tianyin cultists among them, and then shoot them in one fell swoop.
Maybe it was because he had guessed a little before, so Liu Dao's reaction was not intense, so he was not targeted...... Right?
At this moment, Kang Yao's voice sounded again: "Now, everyone, line up, from the alley, each of you to return home, you all know what to do, right?"
Hearing Kang Yao's words, Liu Dao fell into coldness all over his body.
