Chapter 8: Building a Raised Platform (2)

Outside Chang'an City, north of Xueshu Village, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is pleasant, this place is the place to build a high platform, the high platform is named Shangyue Platform, take the word of the moon of the autumn moon, which is enough to prove that Emperor Wu Wei favored Guo Qiuyue.

In an open field, dozens of officers and soldiers were armed with spears. Patrolling back and forth the coolies who were captured by the national teacher, in order to prevent the coolies from escaping, each coolie was confined in a trap around his neck. And all the coolies were joined together with chains.

Food, shelter and transportation are all restricted by this chain. It is impossible to escape from this dark place. When the platform is built, it is inevitable that some coolies with weak physique will faint due to physical exhaustion.

The national teacher ordered that anyone who could not continue to work should be buried alive on the spot. The inhumane acts are heinous. After Geng Jie was captured, his freedom was completely restricted, and he wore stars and moons every day, and his hands and feet were calloused.

Physically and mentally exhausted by intense labor. But he was often beaten, and he missed his mother, wife and children, and couldn't sleep at night. In the dead of night, I can only cry on my pillow, looking at the ocean and sighing.

The sun was scorching, and the coolies were sweating profusely. Many coolies with a slightly weaker physique are unbearable in the heat. passed out, Geng Jie really couldn't bear it, so he had the courage to stop the construction and take a break from the summer. But he was violently beaten by officers and soldiers.

Some of the short-tempered people saw that the officers and soldiers were so unkind. They quarreled with him, which led to riots. After reporting to the national teacher, the national teacher immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to massacre the rioters, which caused even more strong dissatisfaction among the coolies.

Geng Jie was the first person to be suppressed, and the national teacher saw that the situation had reached the point where it was beyond control, so he immediately mobilized a large number of officers and soldiers to suppress it.

In this battle, several officers and soldiers were killed and wounded. In order to gain personal freedom, the coolies rioted for the first time since Emperor Wuwei ascended the throne. Although they do not have weapons, speargo. The stone that can be seen everywhere has become the most lethal weapon, and the inner grudge that has been oppressed for a long time has been accumulated.

It then turned into angry resistance, and the corpses everywhere, with stumps and severed arms, were extremely terrifying. There was a chilling murderous aura in the entire sky, and the battle between the coolies and the officers and soldiers was extremely fierce.

They want to break through the shackles, the oppression of the darkness. The sound of fighting resounded in the sky, and in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, these coolies were as cheap as livestock, and the national teachers had ordered to kill the rioters, and the officers and soldiers were even more slaughtering of these coolies.

As cold-blooded as slaughtering livestock, there is no human ethics here, and there is no humane law. It has completely become a slaughterhouse, with blood and screams. People's hearts have become cold, and feelings have been killed and annihilated.

In this riot, the national teacher was extremely angry, if these rioters could not be exterminated, I am afraid that the national teacher's plan to build a platform would be postponed, and the occurrence of this incident would make the national teacher even more brutal and unkind, just like the devil in the dark, these unarmed laborers, decided to launch a massacre that annihilated humanity.

In order to set an example for these rioters and deter them, the national teacher actually ordered a wok-stove to be set up outside Xue Shu Village. Prepared to cook the rioters on the spot, this violence was used to control the riot, and although the riot was briefly controlled, the anger accumulated in the hearts of the laborers.

It could break out again at any time, and in this riot, Geng Jie was slightly injured and was taken to the National Teacher's Mansion for questioning. When he arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, the National Teacher sat in front of the hall, playing with a pair of night pearls in his hands. His eyes were cold, his face was hideous, and he was really terrifying.

Geng Jie was escorted to the front of the lobby and knelt at the bottom of the hall. Frightened and trembling, the national teacher is like a hungry wolf, which makes people shudder. The cold light in his eyes pierced Geng Jie's heart, and he suddenly became a little timid.

After a while, the national teacher said: "Is the hall Geng Jie?"

Geng Jie trembled and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The villain has seen the national teacher, the villain, the villain, yes, it's Geng Jie." ”

The national teacher leaned down, stared at Geng Jie coldly, and said: "What a bold man, he openly went against his own teacher, stirred up right and wrong, and led the labor riot, how many heads did you have on your head? If I don't kill you, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart." ”

"Come on, pull Geng Jie out and kill him with a stick!"

After hearing this, Geng Jie was immediately flustered, and begged for mercy: "National teacher, national teacher, there is an old mother on the villain, and a blind wife and young son ...... the villain."

Just as Geng Jie was dragged out of the hall, the national teacher suddenly waved his hand and said, "Wait, bring Geng Jie back first!"

Geng Jie thought that the national teacher could forgive him, and he was happy in his heart, and after being brought back, he quickly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for the grace of the national teacher not to kill, thank the national teacher for the grace of not killing!"

But he never thought that the national teacher didn't intend to forgive him at all, let alone sympathize with his old mother, blind wife and young children, what is his family background, for these things that sound sympathetic, the national teacher doesn't care at all, and a cold-blooded and cruel person like the national teacher has no pity.

He suddenly changed his mind because of the wok stoves set up in Xue Shu Village, since the riot started because of him, then he would do the cooking of the rioters himself. In this way, see who dares to make trouble again.

I really don't know how Geng Jie feels when he personally cooks his companions, it must be extremely painful in his heart, the national teacher is so vicious, he is no different from Guo Qiuyue, they are both demons that destroy human nature.

The national teacher put the night pearl in his hand on a few cases, got up and walked to Geng Jie, who was kneeling in the hall, leaned down, raised his chin with his hand and said with a sinister face: "Want to live?"

Geng Jie nodded hurriedly, looked up pitifully at the intimidating face of the national teacher, trembled and said, "Think, think ......"

The corners of the national teacher's mouth showed a hint of pride, put down his hand, and then turned around and said, "If you can cook your companion with your own hands, how about the national teacher let you live?"

Faced with the tragic request of the national teacher, Geng Jie hesitated at this time, how did he do it, if there was any difference between doing so and a beast, Geng Jie hesitated, on the one hand, it was his companion, and on the other hand, it was his own life. But what makes him most embarrassed is his concern, what if his family dies? Obviously, the conditions of the national teacher will make it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

He neither wanted to hurt his companions nor die. But the national teacher will never let him have both, if he wants to live, he has to agree to the national teacher to cook his companions. If he didn't want to violate his conscience, he had to die.

After thinking about it for a long time, between his family and his peers, he still chose the former. Because he wanted to survive and one day be reunited with his family. Although this is a bit unconscionable and unsatisfactory. At this moment, he also had no choice.

His body trembled a little, his expression was a little dazed, at this time he had numbed his mind, and there was only one thought in his mind to live, and he was really forced to do so.

Seeing that Geng Jie was silent, the national teacher repeated it one last time, he turned around and said coldly: "It seems that you don't want to live anymore?

Then the national teacher angrily flicked his sleeves, sat in front of the hall and waved his hand: "Come on, drag it out." ”

Seeing this scene, Geng Jie suddenly broke free from the slave, ran to the national teacher, knelt in front of the hall and begged: "National teacher, the villain is willing, the villain is willing, begging the national teacher to leave the villain a cheap life, the villain is willing to look forward to the horse, and serve the national teacher for the work of dogs and horses." ”

When the national teacher heard this, he turned from anger to joy. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the slave to let go of Geng Jie, and smiled: "Okay, this is the blood that the slave of the national teacher should have, from today on, I will order you to be the supervisor of Shangyuetai, how about staying in the national teacher's mansion to serve me?"

Geng Jie hurriedly knelt down in front of the national teacher and kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you for the grace of not killing, thank you for the grace of not killing." The national teacher waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, get up!" Next, what should you do, you don't need the national teacher to teach you anymore, right?"

After hearing this, Geng Jie hurriedly replied: "The villain understands, the villain will go to Shangyuetai to deal with the rioters and relieve the worries of the national teacher." The national teacher got up and said, "Okay, I really deserve to be a slave of my own teacher, I know my intentions, I know my feelings, go ahead!"

Geng Jie then arched his hand and said, "Villain, retire!" Then he got up and left the National Teacher's Mansion, at which time a servant of the National Teacher stepped forward and said, "Master, let him go like this?

The national teacher continued to play with the Night Pearl in his hand, with an evil expression on his face, and sneered: "If I let him give birth, he will live, and if I let him die, he will die, his life and death are in my thoughts, if he dares to betray me." ”

Speaking of this, the national teacher put his hand on his neck and said coldly: "Kill-".

The servant nodded understandingly, and then his eyes revealed a sinister: "Master, the villain is willing to be the eyes of the master, to keep an eye on him, if he is found to have different intentions, I will get rid of him for the master." ”

After hearing this, the national teacher smiled, patted the slave's face a few times and said, "You are becoming more and more sensible, and the national teacher likes the appearance of your minion, go ahead!"

Hearing the praise of the national teacher, the slave was overjoyed, and with a flattered look, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Xie Guoshi praised the villain, and it is the infinite glory of the villain's ancestor to be able to serve the national teacher." The villain went to Shangyuetai to supervise Geng Jie's execution. ”

Then the slave retired, and when Geng Jie returned to Shangyuetai, his companions were overjoyed to see that he was fine. The worry in his heart will also disappear, and Geng Jie at this time has completely changed, and reprimanded these coolies sharply: "If you don't go to build a platform yet, if anyone ignores the national teacher and makes a riot again, they will suffer the same punishment as them." ”

Then Geng Jie looked at the captured group of rioters, although a little unbearable, but it was really powerless, the officers and soldiers will participate in the rioters, concentrated on capturing and binding, the coolies are full of infinite hatred in their eyes, this fashion platform has been built next to the wok, light firewood.

The fire was blazing, and the terrifying smell of death was pervasive. At this time, Geng Jie has become as bloodthirsty and tyrannical as jackals, tigers and leopards, if he doesn't kill these comrades who are oppressed with him on weekdays, the sharp bloody butcher's knife will cut at him, he wants to live, for his old mother, wife and children.

He only hoped to be reunited with his family as soon as possible, but he did not know that his family had already died tragically at home. Geng Jie, who was once honest and honest, can no longer find his former self. Now there is only one cold-blooded and ruthless devil descending. His hands will also be stained with blood as a result.

At this time, the slave who was beside the national teacher just now looked treacherous, and came to Geng Jie and said: "Geng Jie, it's time to show your sincerity to the national teacher, why can't you do it? The wok is already boiling, just wait for your order to cook them." ”

Geng Jie hesitated for a moment, and after a strong ideological struggle, he finally turned his heart sideways: "Come and put the rioters into the wok (huò) and cook them." "The rioters were thrown into a wok of boiling water with a terrible scream, their bodies burned and cooked, their internal organs failed, and finally they died in the struggle.

Geng Jie, who witnessed all this, couldn't bear it in his heart, and every time he heard a painful howl, his heart hurt once. He didn't know why he had become like this, and how he had become a bloodthirsty devil.

And the slave of the national teacher standing next to him watched the coolies being executed, and his heart was extremely happy. Laughing: "Haha! This cooking is so painful, let's scream, the more tragic it is, the more exciting it is." ”

There were more than 100 coolies who participated in the riot, and all of them were executed except Geng Jie.

And this horrific oppression, atrocities. It also made the resentment in the hearts of the laborers grow deeper and deeper, and the desire to rise up and resist became more and more urgent. Geng Jie looked at the slave next to him so cold-blooded and ruthless, and left angrily.

Seeing him leave the scene angrily, the servant was extremely dissatisfied, and immediately reminded: "Geng Jie, if you want to live, have good thoughts in your heart. What is your fate, think about it yourself!"
