Chapter 124: Betrayal
Looking at the civilians trembling and screaming in panic in front of him, Lang Yuetu waved the bloodied long knife in his hand, the blood stains on the knife were violently shaken off, and a blood line was sprinkled on the ground.
"Let me ask again, where is the traitor Mo Chen?" Lang Yuetu asked in a cold voice with a long knife in front of him.
Seeing his cold eyes, his indifferent expression, and the long knife in his hand, no one would doubt that if he couldn't hear his satisfactory answer in the next moment, would he slash down again and bring out a human life.
Several panicked villagers heard Lang Yuetu's question, raised their heads and saw the long knife that seemed to be pointing at themselves, and then looked at the corpse lying in front of them, with several hesitations on their faces. At this time, one of them stood up boldly and replied tremblingly:
"Mo Chen...... Mo Chen did come to our village a few days ago, but he was already gone. Big...... My lord, I don't know what kind of crime he has committed, and he deserves to be arrested with such fanfare... Arrest him. ”
I don't know if it's because I'm scared in my heart, or if the death of the same village in front of me makes him sad, this person looked at Lang Yuetu, and as he spoke, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
Although he didn't dare to say it explicitly because of the formality in front of him, he was still very angry in his heart and didn't say a word about it, and he killed the young general at every turn.
"Hey," looking at the person standing in front of him, and didn't know if he heard the suppressed emotions in this person's words, Lang Yuetu sneered and said:
"The traitor Mo Chen boldly killed the German missionaries, causing the Kaiser to be angry and invade our country, causing our Qing Dynasty to suffer heavy losses. Because of his own fault, he has damaged our country, which can be said to be a great rebellion and a heinous man.
Now the imperial court has decreed that the whole country is wanted, and whether he lives or dies, he will hand over this murderer to Germany, whether he lives or dies. Anyone who dares to hide is not rebellious, and is regarded as an accomplice in rebellion, and will not be forgiven. ”
After speaking, Lang Yuetu glanced at these villagers one by one and said:
"I received news that Mo Wei is staying in your village, if I find out that you dare to hide Mo Wei, let alone one person, the whole village will not be left behind. Acquaintances, honestly tell where Mo is going, otherwise ......"
Lang Yuetu patted the villager in front of him with a long knife, and the villager who took the initiative to answer just now pointed at the corpse that was still spurting blood on the ground with a long knife, and said coldly:
"I searched for Mo Wei in the village, your whole family, your neighbors, all have to be like him!"
Then Lang Yuetu walked past the people in front of him, walked in front of the people behind him one by one, and asked softly
"Say, do you know the whereabouts of the traitor Mo Chen?"
"Those who provide the movements of the traitor will be rewarded by the court, and the person who conceals the trace of the traitor will be guilty of the same heinous crime. You guys...... But think clearly!"
This time it was first murderous, and then under the combination of grace and might, not everyone could not be unmoved.
Even though Mo Chen had helped them before, he had only some small favors, so where was it worth risking his life to protect him?
Finally, one of the villagers standing behind stood up and said loudly:
"My lord, I know where Mo Chen is. He...... He is still hiding in the village and has not left, I know where he lives, so I will take you there. ”
As soon as these words came out, the person standing at the front changed color.
This person's words are equivalent to not only betraying Mo Chen, but also burying his own life.
Hearing the answer he wanted, Lang Yuetu finally curled the corners of his mouth, walked to the villager at the front, looked at him and said fiercely:
"It seems that you are not honest?"
After that, Lang Yuetu raised the long knife in his hand, and then slashed it fiercely.
