Chapter 700: Choice

The next day, early in the morning, Taiyuan, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the night fire burned out, the whole village was burned in the fire, Zhou Yi got the news in the middle of the night and brought people to hurry, but the county seat is more than 20 miles away from the downstream village, and when he arrived here, the sky was already bright, and the downstream village was also burned in the fire, and only a group of village names surrounded here.

Walking over, with more than 20 soldiers, Zhou Yi pushed away the crowd, looking at more than a dozen women sitting on the ground with sluggish faces, as if holding something in their hands, Zhou Yi walked over, but the next moment, when he walked in and saw the things in the hands of these dozen women, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, more than a dozen women, each woman had a headless corpse in her hand, and there were human heads next to the headless corpse, all of them were children, some men and women, but most of them were about seven to ten years old, and children from seven to ten years old, there could be most, but half-old children, just ignorant and sensible, but at this moment, they all became cold corpses, or brutally beheaded!

"Who did that!?"

A beast-like roar came from Zhou Yi's mouth, his whole eyes were red, he was not from Taiyuan, but the original Jin people, the Jin country was unified, and all parts of the country were in urgent need of manpower, he was arranged to serve as the magistrate here, and he had been busy confiscating the land during this time, but those families did not cooperate very much, making him a little anxious, and he didn't think of a good way, and then he heard bad news in the middle of the night, a village was burned, he hurried over slowly, he didn't expect to see such a scene, not only burned the village, but also the headless corpses of more than a dozen children。

"Whoever did it, tell me, whoever did it, I'm going to cut off his head, who ?...."

Zhou Yi's eyes were red, it was not that he had never seen a dead person, but the scene in front of him was the extermination of humanity, this is a child, but he is half an adult, and he has not experienced the world well, but he has already died here, and all of them have been beheaded, it can not be said that it is not cruel, even Zhou Yi, who thinks that he has an excellent heart, can't help but feel the killing intent in his heart for a moment, and an uncontrollable fire rises at once.

He never thought that at this moment when the Jin State dominated the world, there were still people who dared to do arson and kill people, and they also shot at half of the children, the means were so cruel, it was simply inhumane, behind Zhou Yi, the faces of the more than 20 soldiers were also difficult to look at, most of these soldiers were deployed by the army of the Jin State, but next to Zhou Yi, there was also a middle-aged person dressed as a scribe, but when he saw this scene, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, as if mocking, this was a civil official under Zhou Yi, but it was not transferred by the Jin State, but an official from the original here, the world was unified, and the original manpower of the Jin State was limited, except for a few officials transferred from the Jin State, many of the officials were originally local.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhou Yi's eyes were a little red, and he felt like there was a fire about to erupt in his heart, he didn't expect such a thing to happen within his jurisdiction, and it was a child who had an accident, and the means were so cruel, try to suppress his emotions, Zhou Yi's eyes looked at the villagers next to him, trying to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, but the next moment, the reaction of many villagers made him stunned.

"Poof... Puff ....."

There was a sound of kneeling on the ground, and I saw that the oldest old man with white hair among the villagers walked in front of Zhou Yi and knelt down at once, and then, there was another sound, and the names of the surrounding villages also knelt down-

"Lord Zhou, please, let us go, we don't want the land, we are just ordinary people, we don't want the land, we just want to live in peace. ”

"What?"

Zhou Yi stood on the spot, only feeling like five thunderbolts, he thought about many possibilities after these villagers spoke, but he didn't expect that it would be like this.

"Lord Zhou, I know that the imperial court has good intentions and wants to give us land and let us live a good life, but we really can't afford it. Another old man who looked to be in his sixties spoke, and after speaking, his eyes looked at the headless corpse held by the dozen women: "We really can't afford it, don't let the children suffer anymore, they are still young, but so small, just ..... Woo..."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but cry directly.

"Lord Zhou, we really don't want the land anymore, we don't want anything, I beg you, let us go" "Woo..."

Someone spoke, someone cried, Zhou Yi stood on the spot all of a sudden, his heart seemed to be pinched by something, he didn't know what to say for a while, his eyes looked at the dozen or so women holding headless corpses, more than a dozen small bodies, they were all half-old children, but at this moment they were all cut off.

"Family, I, Zhou Yi, will not kill you, and I will not be a man!"

Zhou Yi was ruthless, for the first time, he was so disgusted with the family, but the civil official behind Zhou Yi heard Zhou Yi's words, but his face changed, and he said in a deep voice-

"My lord, I think it's better for you not to take care of this matter, these people have said that they don't want land, I think your lord still persuades the court not to implement the land policy anymore, after all, which families did these lands belong to?"

The civil official spoke, and as he spoke, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he was a member of the family, so he naturally stood on the side of the family, and he was completely disdainful of Zhou Yi's cruel words, in his opinion, the Central Plains family was deeply rooted, as long as Ning Jinzhi still wanted to develop the world well and wanted the world to be peaceful, he would have to compromise with the family, as for the downstream village, it was just a small warning from the family to the imperial court.

The civil official looked at Zhou Yi, and there was a hint of arrogance in his expression, but the next moment, his face was stiff!

"Cheng... Poof!"

The blade came out of the sheath, Zhou Yi turned around and directly held the long knife on the waist of a soldier beside him, and directly dragged it out and slashed through a cold light, and the next moment, a blood mark appeared on the neck of the civil official, and then, the red blood spurted out like a stream of water, and his throat was directly cut by Zhou Yi, and the throat was sealed with a knife!

"Hoh. Ho ho ...."

The civil official pointed at Zhou Yi, his eyes were wide open, full of incredulity, his mouth was open, and he wanted to speak, but it was a vague sound, and the next moment, the civil official fell directly to the ground, this scene happened very suddenly, the soldiers around Zhou Yi did not react, and those village names were even more frightened to stay in place.

"Come here, go back to the yamen to transfer manpower to help the village name rebuild the village, and the court will issue supplies for the lost things, congratulations, and I will go back to the yamen, write a letter, and pass the news here to Your Majesty. ”

Zhou Yi's face was a little ugly, he just glanced at the civil official who fell to the ground, this civil official is from a family in Taiyuan, he has long known that during this period of time, this civil official has always had the intention to stop him, he has long had no good impression of this civil official, and the words of this civil official just now directly made him move his killing intent.

Glancing at the tragic situation of the village and the dozen or so petite headless corpses, Zhou Yi's eyes couldn't help but be full of anger-

"These Central Plains families, all of them should die!"

...................................

"The head of the family, the downstream village was burned down, and more than a dozen children were killed, was it the people of the Zhang family who took action?" Taiyuan, the Li family, a housekeeper reported to Li Chun.

"Oh, is the Zhang family moving, it's okay, to explore the attitude of the imperial court, and also to show the imperial court the determination of our Central Plains family, so that Ning Jinzhi knows that our Central Plains family is not easy to knead, doesn't he love the people like a son, I want to see how he protects these untouchables. Li Chun smiled and said, he didn't care about this, in his opinion, it was better to die a few untouchables than a few dogs at home.

"Taiyuan, Zhangjia, Downstream Village, is this what the Li family means?"

Lingnan, the Song family, Song Qing looked at the intelligence of his subordinates - the Zhang family sent people to burn the downstream village and kill fourteen children.

Looking at the letterhead in his hand for a few seconds, Song Yu directly crumpled Xinjian into a ball of waste paper, while Song Yu and Steward Song next to him looked at Song Qing.

"The Zhang family, the Li family, these people really don't die fast enough, and they dare to provoke Your Majesty at this time. ”

"Father is saying that His Majesty will use this time to deal with the Zhang family. Song Yu looked at Song Qing when he heard this.

"Zhang family, do you think Your Majesty will only deal with one Zhang family? This group of people with interests in their hearts, wait, after this incident, it would be good if the Central Plains family could have one layer left. Song Qing snorted coldly, those families were consumed by interests, thinking that Ning Caichen would compromise, but he knew very well that the means and courage of the king in the current court, he dared to guarantee that this time, it would be absolutely a disaster for the Central Plains family.

People, you know yourself, this has always been Song Qing's point of view, he knows very well that the current Central Plains family and Ning Caichen are not qualified to wrestle their wrists, so he did not plan to go against the imperial court early on and publicize the retreat to the outside world, but at this moment, she felt that it was not enough to just retreat to the outside world, and she had to let the court know his attitude.

"Yu'er, immediately send someone to tell the court, my Song family obeys the arrangement of the imperial court, everything is headed by the imperial court, go immediately, the sooner the better, it is best to spread the attitude of my Song family to His Majesty's ears." (To be continued.) )
