Chapter XVII
The iron-blooded and well-trained soldiers did not have the slightest softness in killing the prisoners, and it was impossible to be afraid of half of the killing, except for Zhang Pingshun, who showed unbearable expressions in his eyes, the rest of the people were like water.
More than 1,000 prisoners, ranging from old men in their fifties and sixties to teenagers as young as fifteen or sixteen, men, women, young and old, were all cut out of their throats and thrown into the dungeons.
The dungeon had limited space, so there were also soldiers transporting the bodies of prisoners, wearing masks and filling each cell with the stench of the dungeon.
When they are tired, they change people and continue to stuff them, and some people relay them, and they have the strength to stack the corpses higher, and a cell stacks up a one-meter-high corpse, and it is really like playing with a hundred and ten people.
Mingxin stacked the corpses by himself yesterday, and it was only two layers, if he still had the strength or someone to help him at that time, he would not have used two cells to hold eighty corpses.
More than 1,000 prisoners, because they fought to the death, added some difficulty to the soldiers, and it was not until the sun was shining in the sky that they were the last to be eliminated.
There was also a river of blood on the ground, and the soldiers took brooms and swept the blood into the entrance of the dungeon, and the dungeon's twenty cells were filled with thirteen.
The soldiers didn't go inside, they didn't see the eighty bodies, so they didn't know where the stench came from.
The stench made many soldiers unbearable and even vomited, and they were not to blame, the smell was outrageous, and they were still doing heavy work underground, and they had to breathe heavily...
It's really hard for them.
At this time, the four city lords had already left here, and were now drinking tea, enjoying dances, and listening to music in a small pavilion.
While the four of them were having a good time, a soldier trotted over, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report! All the prisoners have been killed and sent to the dungeon, a total of 1,327 people! Do you want to bury them?"
Mingxin was shocked when he heard this number, even in his state of mind.
More than a thousand people! Mingxin's team of people in his previous life had never killed so many people, right?
More than a thousand people died, which was definitely big news in a previous life!
However, this is ancient times, and even if hundreds of thousands of people are slaughtered, they can be brushed aside with the words "so-and-so disobeys the king's rule, and he is peaceful".
Don't believe it, and look at the expressions of the city lord and Lu Jie, it was a plain and indifferent face, especially Lu Jie, who even snorted coldly with disdain!
The city lord glanced at Mingxin, but Mingxin smiled, and the city lord had no choice but to say to the soldiers: "No need, you can retreat first." ”
"Yes!" the soldier stepped back.
The city lord got up and arched his hand: "Thank you two for your help today, you have made such a contribution to my Ji'an City, this city lord must remember it in his heart!"
Lu Jie and Zhang Pingshun also hurriedly got up to return the salute, Zhang Pingshun smiled and said: "What is the city lord, what is this, it is our duty as officials to eliminate harm for the people, this is all as it should be, how dare you remember the merits?"
Mingxin interjected at this time and said to the city lord: "Lord the city lord, I think so, in order to express my gratitude to the two of you, why don't you have a banquet and treat all the soldiers?"
Lu Jie and Zhang Pingshun were shocked, and the city lord of Liandao had already received his mind, so there was no need to make a big move.
There are hundreds of soldiers who came this time, and it is easy to say that they usually eat, but if they are invited to a banquet, it will be a huge expense, although these expenses are a drop in the bucket for the city lord, but it is also a matter of rubbing oil from the city lord, where do they dare!
But who knew that the city lord suddenly became firm, and his tone became resolute: "Good idea! Should you treat the soldiers, you can't let them work in vain, right? This city lord has decided, and he will have a carnival all night in my city lord's mansion tonight!"
Mingxin nodded again and again with a smile, Lu Jie and Zhang Pingshun looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the city lord said everything, and the two of them couldn't refuse anymore, so they had to agree.
At this time, Mingxin said again: "It's noon now, the soldiers must be tired, it's time to eat." ”
The city lord smiled heartily and said to the two: "Two, you go and take the soldiers to the dining hall for dinner, the city lord still has some things, so I won't accompany the two of you first." ”
The two didn't dare to say anything, and the acquaintance immediately retreated, and after a while, they heard a sound of neat footsteps gradually disappearing...
When the footsteps were far away, the lord of the city called the deacon and ordered him to buy food and wine for the soldiers.
"Lord of the City, is there enough sweat medicine or anything like that in the house?" Mingxin skimmed the City Lord while casually drinking tea.
"Menghan medicine? There is indeed one in the house, and there are a lot of spare ones. "The city lord said.
"Is it enough for hundreds of people?"
"Hundreds... This! Immortal Master! this is unacceptable!" the city lord was shocked, and suddenly knew where Mingxin's intentions were.
"Why can't you do it?" Mingxin smiled.
The city lord wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after a while, he said stubbornly: "If you want to commit a prisoner, I can do it for you as you want, and if there is nothing in the city, you can do it from the outer city, you can do as much as you want! General Lu, they are our own people, and their loyalty is absolutely safe!"
Mingxin shook his head with a look of pity, put down the teacup and said helplessly: "If I can, I want to do it too." It's a pity that the movement of criminals from other cities is not small, and it is easy to attract the attention of some people, so I don't want to have a basket!"
When Mingxin said this, the city lord was a little incomprehensible.
When I was confused, I saw Mingxin stand up and say indifferently with a cold face: "And, the most important thing is that the gains that mortals have brought me are getting smaller and smaller, and I can't continue to stay here!"
"So," Mingxin's eyes turned scarlet, and he stared straight into the eyes of the city lord, "Are you disobedient!"
The old tears of the city lord flowed down uncontrollably, I don't know if he was frightened by Mingxin or because he was going to attack Lu Jie and them, in short, a middle-aged man nodded heavily with tears in his eyes at the moment.
Ming thought far and comprehensively, and every step he repeatedly calculated how dangerous it was to walk like this, and he would only step over it after he was sure that it was safe.
The prisoners stay in the cell all year round and do not communicate with the outside world, so no matter how many prisoners are killed, it will not cause a big fluctuation, so Mingxin is able to do such a crazy thing!
The people can't kill casually, it's okay to kill less, but if there is more, it will attract the attention of some people, and some people naturally refer to the immortal cultivation that may exist in the shadows.
The same is true for the soldiers, but due to the cover of the City Lord's Mansion, it may be a long, long time before some clues can be heard.
But this also proves that Mingxin is ready to withdraw after finishing this vote!
