Chapter 46: Killing
"Say, the old man listened. Li Yuanzhao said lightly.
Zhou You gritted his teeth, and finally spoke, telling the story of the robbers he encountered when he returned to the county seat, was robbed of all the taxes and grains by the robbers, and made up lies because he was afraid of being punished by the county order.
There is not a trace of concealment.
"Old-timer, I ...... I'm not doing this properly, but ...... But it's also for self-preservation," Zhou You tried to excuse himself, "If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, you say yes." ”
Li Yuanzhao frowned slightly, "So I have peace of mind to let Liu Fugui be your scapegoat and stay in prison for the rest of your life?"
Zhou You was speechless and couldn't stand on his knees.
I just don't think there's anything wrong in my heart.
If he didn't blame Liu Fugui for the disaster, he would be the one who was in prison.
"Senior, please don't kill me," Zhou You was afraid that Li Yuanzhao would behead him in anger, so he was afraid to beg for mercy, "I have an old mother to take care of at home, a wife and children to support, you kill me, they should ...... What should I do?"
After that, tears rippled.
Li Yuanzhao is not a murderous demon, he will not take people's lives casually, he is only here to find out the truth, but he is too timid this week.
"Tomorrow in court, you will tell the truth to the county order, and return Liu Fugui's innocence, and the old man will not embarrass you. Li Yuanzhao said.
How dare Zhou You not comply, kowtowing desperately, "Yes! Yes!"
After knocking for a long time, he didn't hear the echo, and he raised his head bravely, but there was only a dim darkness in front of him, and Li Yuanzhao's figure had long been gone.
Sure enough, the dragon saw the beginning but not the end!
Li Yuanzhao walked away on the wind and walked in the moon.
When I was about to go back to the inn, I suddenly heard a fight on the side of the county office, and it was not small.
He frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
His feet staggered, and he landed on a nearby roof.
Not long after, in the lanes near the county office, a large number of people wearing hats appeared, all holding blades, murderous.
It can be seen especially clearly from Li Yuanzhao's position that these people are in a state of encirclement, forming a killing array inside and outside the county office, and the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't think of coming out.
"It's the Righteous Gang!"
Li Yuanzhao didn't expect that this group of "crazy people" would move so quickly and directly besiege the county government with all their might, and they were bold enough.
Soon, the two parties met, and there was a riot of killings inside and outside the county office.
Everywhere is shouting and killing the sky, and all directions are screaming again and again.
The smell of blood filled the city.
When the people in the county heard the movement, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out.
I had to ask God to worship the Buddha and pray for the dawn.
Before and after, there was a stick of incense, the county government was slaughtered, corpses were everywhere, and even the county order was cut off.
Subsequently, the people of the righteous gang were divided into several teams to clean the official mansion near the county government and eliminate all the officials to prevent future troubles.
Screams rang out one after another.
Like a sonata of hell in the night.
"Ah......h
In the alley where Li Yuanzhao had just left, there were also screams and cries, which were particularly piercing.
Li Yuanzhao turned around slightly, two golden eyes pierced through the darkness, and saw three strong men wearing hats coming to the door of Zhou You's house, dragging Zhou You's old mother, wife and children, dragging and beating, beating and scolding.
In the courtyard, a corpse can be vaguely seen, and its head has long been in a different place.
Undoubtedly, it is Zhou You.
This guy was also unlucky, just thought that he had escaped and avoided the disaster of killing, but unexpectedly, another group of strongmen came to the door.
This group of people is much more ferocious than Li Yuanzhao, and when they meet, they are stabbed and merciless.
Poor Zhou You gave his life in a daze, leaving the family to be bullied.
The three strong men dragged the orphans and widows to the ground like animals.
Let the crying and struggle to no avail.
Li Yuanzhao sighed secretly, then flicked his fingers, and shot out three golden rays of rice, flying a hundred feet, hitting the backs of the three big men respectively.
Smack!
The eyes of the three of them went dark, and they all fainted to the ground.
In this way, Zhou You's family was able to get out and quickly flee for their lives.
How could they have the heart to consider who was secretly helping, crying, while burying Zhou You's body in the courtyard, burying it in the ground, and then fleeing overnight in order to save their lives.
Li Yuanzhao also flew away, silently.
Looking at it in mid-air, it is not difficult to find that the scene just now is being played out everywhere.
After the righteous gang killed the officials, they would never let go of their families, and took them away with beating and scolding.
Especially the county order, there were eight or nine wives and concubines, all of whom were young and beautiful, all of whom were arrested by the righteous gang and imprisoned in front of the county government, and there were eight or nine maids and servants, who were unlucky.
Jumping over the two lanes, Li Yuanzhao stopped abruptly.
In the darkness, I saw two figures running not far away.
In front is a delicate girl, and in the back is a man in his forties and fifties.
It was Mo Yiyi and Liu Fugui.
"Master!"
"Old man!"
Seeing Li Yuanzhao, the two were also happy.
"Master, those people are fighting with the government, and the apprentices took the opportunity to break into the prison and save Uncle," Mo Yiyi said truthfully, "Master, don't blame the apprentices for being reckless. ”
Li Yuanzhao shook his head, without blaming.
His original intention was to settle the matter peacefully.
Now, it's not necessary.
This chaotic world, like the day in June, changes when it is said.
"Go back to the inn first, and leave the county tomorrow morning. ”
"Hmm!"
Mo Yiyi and Liu Fugui nodded at the same time.
"By the way, Master, I saw them arrest a lot of old and weak women and children on the road just now, but they have to take care of Uncle A, so they have no time to take care of it. ”
"Why don't you and Uncle go back first, and go and have a look. ”
Mo Yiyi pinched the jasper sword, looking eager to try.
Li Yuanzhao groaned slightly, "Don't mess around, just go for the teacher, you go back first." ”
This matter is not trivial, he is not worried about Mo Yiyi going.
You must know that the Yibang is different from the Yamen, all of them are ferocious and easy to kill, and their martial arts are not low, which is definitely not something that Mo Yiyi can deal with.
"Okay, Master, be careful!"
Mo Yiyi was a little disappointed, and he had to listen, so he helped Liu Fugui and left first.
Li Yuanzhao stepped up, his body was as light as a feather, and floated towards the county office.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear a chaotic cry, screams, beatings, and scolding.
Take a closer look, a big tripod is placed in front of the gate of the county government, and the fire in the tripod is scorching.
There is a big banner on the left, and the book: Righteous Gang.
There is a big banner on the right, and the book: No Cliff Jun.
Not far ahead, a group of people were imprisoned together, fifty or sixty, all terrified and desperate.
The oldest was seventy or eighty years old, and the youngest was still in swaddling clothes, crying profusely.
Syllable!
Syllable!
"Don't cry!
Several strong men with whips and frantically whipped them.
The more they beat, the more the women and children cried.
Looking out further, a group of strong men wearing hats with blood-stained blades in their hands surrounded them like wolves.
Among them, Li Yuanzhao recognized two people.
One is the leader of the Yi Gang, named "Wu Cliff King".
One is Qin Hu with a pipa on his back.
Qin Hu half-knelt on the ground and said: "Shangjun, the county order of the county government, the county lieutenant, the chief book, the court peng, the gong cao, the sifu, the secretary and other seventeen officials have been beheaded, these people are their family members, please deal with it!"
Wuya Shangjun sneered, "Chop the grass and eradicate the roots, burn them all to death, and sacrifice them to the gods!"
"Yes, Lord!"
"The Emperor is wise!"
The righteous gang are all murderous and unblinking, how can they have pity, and immediately according to the instructions of the king of Wuya, they got some dry firewood, piled up around this group of old and weak women and children, and then poured oil on them, ready to light a fire.
