Chapter Forty-Nine: All Killed
The bearded man suddenly didn't know what to say, and showed a helpless expression. He wasn't very smart in the first place, and he just broke out in a wave of oppression, and he barely said such a long list of words, and he didn't know what to say at this time.
Xie Yongzhao didn't expect the other party to say anything, but finally asked.
"Who asked you to come?"
"Huh?"
"Let me ask you, who asked you to come to Lu'an City! There are so many counties along the road, why did you choose Lu'an? ”
“…… What other reasons are needed for this? We were all hungry and wanted to eat, and just as the gates of this county town opened, we came in. ”
Perhaps knowing that he couldn't get credit from the general, the man simply chose to give up on himself.
But Xie Yongzhao was not satisfied with such an answer, he interrogated a little bit, and quickly hollowed out the person, and turned to the rest of the people, but in a moment, he had already pulled out part of the truth from their mouths.
These displaced people were originally just ordinary people, but because of the flooding in the place where they lived, all their houses, fields, and property disappeared in an instant. Originally, they didn't want to leave their homeland. After all, it is difficult to leave their homeland, but as long as there is a way to live, they do not want to leave their hometown. People are cheap when they leave their hometowns.
However, when they finally waited for the relief of the imperial court, the food was moldy, and after eating, they kept having diarrhea and high fever, and their relatives were almost dead. I had no choice but to leave my homeland just to find a way to live.
But as soon as he left his hometown, he didn't even have that bit of poisonous food, who would provide strangers with the opportunity to work for no reason. What's more, they have traveled all the way, they look thin and shriveled, and they are not healthy people at first glance, and no one will use them. When you can't get enough to eat, some ethics seem to have been abandoned.
When those with obvious ill intentions came over, they agreed with little hesitation. Anyway, they don't have anything now, just such a stupid body, no matter what happens after he eats, he can only say anything else when he has a full stomach.
"Actually, we didn't want to kill anyone. However, they resisted too much. We just wanted something to eat......"
The bearded man swallowed and spit, and seemed to be able to recall the hungry scratching of his ears and cheeks a few days ago, which was really miserable. The feeling of being so hungry that I almost melted all my entrails that I never wanted to taste it a second time in my life.
Wu Shan looked at the man's appearance and couldn't help but sigh. At first, they may just want to find some food to fill their stomachs, but when they find that they can really grab food in their mouths by violent means, the seeds of evil will sprout. What about those who were knocked down or even killed in the process of snatching food? What about the women and girls who have been insulted? What about the men who were innocently killed to protect their families? They were all innocent, but that changed when these people found themselves in easy control over some people's lives.
When faced with people who are like themselves in the past, the feeling of suddenly being above others makes them can't help but burst out with a nature that is much more cruel than the most hated corrupt officials.
Human beings are a very strange existence. They can be docile and cute, but when they suddenly rise to the top, even if they have a small amount of power, they may not be the same as before.
It's not that everyone is like this, but there are too few people who can stay calm in this situation, and Wushan has never seen it.
At this time, Xie Yongzhao, who had got everything he wanted to know, no longer wanted to talk to them. They are indeed pitiful, but aren't those out there who may have become corpses long ago?
With a wave of his hand, Xie Yongzhao asked the soldiers to take these people out.
"Gather the surviving people of Lu'an City and let them see these people executed with their own eyes. There are other homeless people, who have committed serious crimes, and they are all cut down together! ”
"General, don't you wait?"
The imperial court may not be satisfied with this way of dealing with it, especially those old antiques, who always say that their generals are too lethal, and what should they do if they are impeached when the time comes? Although the general doesn't care, it's also troublesome to always have to go up to the fold to defend himself.
But Xie Yongzhao waved his hand directly.
"Kill it, kill it, and choose a good day or not? Killing them in front of the people of Lu'an City is already quite a merciful way to die, which is enough to give them face. ”
The bearded man and the others opened their mouths to howl, but they were directly gagged, and then pulled out, and then the cheers of the people came from outside. The voice carried an incomparable hatred that made everyone in the listener look sideways.
Just when the people of Lu'an City were rushing to tell each other, the general left some soldiers to garrison Lu'an City, and took most of the elite straight to the Lu'an City guards.
Such a big event happened in Lu'an City, it was impossible for Wei Gao, the commander of the Lu'an City Guard Army, not to know! But he didn't have the slightest movement, even he, a general hundreds of miles away, knew about the tragic situation in Lu'an City, didn't he know?
Among them, there must be cats!
So, before Ning Ning could catch his breath, he followed Wushan and continued to the place where the guards were stationed. In fact, even Wushan was faintly surprised, in the past few days, Ning Ning not only did not have the slightest fatigue, but was also very well-behaved and sensible, she never screamed bitterly, and she didn't even show fear of those beheaded refugees. You know, when they just left the city, they passed by the place of execution.
Because there were too many people to be executed, there was simply blood flowing all over the place, and the smell of blood rose to the sky, so that some soldiers who had been fighting all year round couldn't stand it, but Ning Ning just wrinkled his nose and didn't say a word.
Wu Shan was a little worried about whether Ning Ning was scared stupid.
Who could have known that Ning Ning was just constantly observing the surrounding terrain? I originally wanted to stay in the city and let Shanshan scan those books, but I didn't expect the general to be so resolute and leave directly. Then you can only scan and record the terrain again.
Speaking of which, on the way to escape from the wilderness, she had already passed through many places, and Shanshan should have collected some maps at that time, right? It's just that at that time, Shanshan fell into a deep sleep, and I don't know if it was included.
[Yes.] Although the system was asleep at that time, the built-in auxiliary system was helping to record. 】
That's good.
With a little yawn, Ning Ning nestled in her grandfather's arms, drowsy.
[The host can sleep, I'm awake. 】
If it weren't for the fact that it was bound to the host, it wouldn't have had to work so hard for Ning Ning to walk through the field to record the map.
