Chapter 012: Mulberry Paper
【Pascal (French philosopher, 1623-1662): Justice without force is impotence, justice without force is tyranny. 】
There are two soldiers under Xing Bo, one infantry with 4 people, 1000 of them have been performing military duties outside for a long time, that is, the army of Sanwuwen, which is actually an army composed of rogue killers. Many orcs.In the name of the Suzaku Army, he has no laws and does a lot of evil.
I wanted to investigate thoroughly, but I didn't expect to cause trouble.
A group of people calmed down and came to the scene of the incident quickly. A team of cavalry had already subdued the people on both sides. They said they were subdued. In fact, almost all the people on both sides were dead, and they were only cleaning up the corpses.
The scene was full of blood and flesh, the corpses and weapons were in a mess, and the cavalry was dividing the corpses of soldiers and anti-people into piles.Yan Queqing immediately covered Qiqi's glasses and handed it over to Li to take him away.
Qiqi came to the scene of the crime twice and was taken away without seeing anything. She didn't get emotional and coaxed the sullen Xiao Hei obediently.
Xiao Hei groaned—they were all girls, and there were no handsome men, so he was unhappy.It's not good to go out to handle cases, it's dirty and smelly.
The girls had no choice but to coax him with snacks, and this guy forgot what he had just done when he had something to eat, and started to eat happily.
Qiqi didn't understand, "Why did you kill so many people?"
Yan Queqing adheres to the policy of being worthy of herself, and never forces Qi Qi to be a good person, not a bad person.As long as you live happily, why do you live in the eyes of others?However, it cannot become a killing machine that kills innocent people indiscriminately and without emotion. It is okay to kill people, but there must be a reason.
Killing people arbitrarily and treating human life as worthless is not a tragedy for the perpetrator himself.
The dead were thrown to one pile by the cavalry like a dead pig.
Behind is the mourning living claiming the dead mob, and in the front is a group of gleaming cavalry and the corpses of soldiers piled up into a hill to attract flies.
Yan Queqing raised his hand and shouted, "Stop! Stop everything!"
The cavalry carrying them stopped to look at Yan Queqing, but they didn't stop. The leader of the cavalry was riding high on the horse at this moment, telling his subordinates to continue, while walking towards Yan Queqing and the others.
Both the cavalry and the dead soldiers belonged to Xing Bo's banner. Facing the meddling of Yan Queqing and others, the cavalry captain sat on his horse and pointed at them with his weapon, "Where did he come from? The order is given, the idlers wait and go."
Seeing that no one listened to Yan Queqing's words, Xiu Ran immediately cast a spell to gather the cold spiritual energy around them. In an instant, those people were frozen stiff, and the captain who was riding on the horse under the collar fell hard!Half of his body was broken in pain, but he was so cold that he couldn't speak.
This is not cold, but Xiuran's externalized sword intent, an awe-inspiring murderous aura.The cold that spreads from the weak to the limbs and bones creates the illusion of ice magic.
Hua Li, who was blocked by Kan, praised, "Ah, hey, you're so bold, it's fine to play the role of authority in front of me, but in front of Young Master Xiu, hmph, you really don't know how to live or die."
The frozen cavalry... still couldn't speak, just shivering.
Yan Queqing skipped them to inspect the site, and after a look, he found many problems.
There are many horseshoe prints around the scene, scattered on the body of the deceased, the villagers' clothes are messy and blood-stained soil, the soldiers are generally fatal, clean and tidy, unlike the villagers who have multiple wounds, stick wounds, knife wounds, punches and kicks wounds, dirty clothes.
A cavalryman said that when they came, the tragedy had already happened, and the villagers and soldiers stationed there were killed in sevens and eighties. The few surviving soldiers had the same statement as them.
It was a group of mobs attacking the barracks with weapons in their hands. Most of the soldiers were transferred to fill in the vacancies of the soldiers who went to Beiguan City, whose life and death were unknown, causing a terrible situation of losing to the villagers. They sent a distress signal. Unfortunately, the cavalry was still one step too late. The hateful mob killed them alive.
After speaking, everyone looked pained and burst into tears.
Compared with their three or four tears, the heart-piercing group of old and weak women crying on the mob made Hua Li upset.
Yan Queqing stood in front of them, looked at the cavalry coldly, and left without saying a word.
The cavalry officer couldn't help but go limp after Yan Queqing left. That unremarkable uncle was more terrifying than the handsome sword boy!The latter is a psychological and physical shock, the former seems to see through his own soul, naked | naked | naked in front of him, there is no room to hide.
Xiuran stepped forward, grabbed Yan Queqing's hand, held it gently, and comforted her silently.
This lover's comforting action really calmed his mood, he no longer tensed his face, but instead held the other's hand, "Let's go, let's eat."
It is a good thing to repair the dyeing and help the forehead, and it is easy to comfort, but the comfort of food is always needed. Is it because he is not good enough?
Yan Queqing, who was slightly comforted, answered everyone's questions.
"Do you want to ask me why I'm so angry?"
The crowd nodded.
"Soldiers fought with mobs. According to the persuasion of the surviving soldiers and cavalrymen, there was a fierce fight between the two sides. Then the soldiers' armor should have blood and dust. But you also saw at that time that the death was clean and neat. Even if the villagers' weapons and fist skills are poor Not like that."
People think about it, indeed.
"Then how did they die?"
"They were killed off guard."
"You're saying the soldiers didn't realize the murderer was going to kill themselves."
"And how could the mob rebels have horseshoe marks and kill so many soldiers so neatly."
"It was the cavalry who killed them!"
Yan Queqing took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and unfolded it. On it was the blood-stained horseshoe print he had rubbed at the scene just now. Tai consciously put away the handkerchief and left.
There are many styles of horseshoe prints, and the ones used by each country, period, and even the attributes of different arms are different.
Soon, Tai came back, and the horseshoe prints had been found out. "This is used by the Sima Soldier cavalry of the Suzaku Army, the group of cavalry who picked up corpses. There are other cavalry also used, but this is the only one nearby."
The dead soldiers were sent by Xing Bote to crusade against the mob and wipe out the bandits. The two sides did not testify against each other, and put all the crimes on the mob.
At the beginning, those cavalrymen refused to admit it, and still insisted that they were exterminating harm in the name of, and that the villagers were sinners, and it was not a pity to die.
Waiting for Kan to show his green hidden weapon with cold light, he greeted casually, everyone passed out in pain and woke up in pain, and within half a moment, everyone made a move.
It was what Xing Bo ordered them to do. They usually robbed houses and collected gold and silver to hand them over. Sometimes they pretended to be bandits and invaded people's homes and killed innocent people, saying that the bandits had been wiped out.
If things get serious, they will directly say that they are mobs and rebellious people, slaughter them all, cut off their heads, and count their military exploits.
Unable to speak Hua Li's angry words, he slowed down and said, "Go back, I want to go back."
Inside the Suzaku army camp.
Generals Xing Bo and Jie Hui received an urgent summons from Hua Li and gathered in the camp.
Opening the tent, Hua Li and the others looked worried.
Hua Li's guards escorted the cavalry captain and several soldiers.
Hua Li said, "Xing Bo, you said that your subordinates killed a group of mobs and bandits, but there is such a thing."
Ruikai and several officers were puzzled, "What happened?"
Facing Hua Li's questioning, Xing Bo was very calm, "I don't know what the third prince means, what's wrong with killing a bunch of mobs?"
Hua Li snapped, "Are those murdered really mobs?"
Gong Pinghao on the side immediately turned his face away and lowered his head, while Xing Bo stared at Hua Li, as if he didn't feel that he was wrong, "If you say they are not, do you have evidence?"
Jie Hui said, "Although the time is tight and we haven't found much evidence, Skynet is full of details. Bring it up!"
Jie Hui was in a state of anxiety, "General, what's going on?"
The rest of the people were also puzzled, "Yes."
"Don't be impatient, you will understand if you continue to read."
Two soldiers came slowly pushing a wooden cart. The wooden cart was covered with thick straw. When the soldiers lifted the straw, there were four corpses inside. Xiuran held his breath and backed away with a look of disgust.
The corpse had been dead for three or four days, and there was a fatal wound on the throat, which was caused by a sharp weapon.
Xing Bo saw the appearance of the corpse clearly, and smiled ironically, "They are Wang Yang's thieves, and they are real evildoers."
Yan Queqing stepped forward to inspect the three dead bodies carefully and found that there was fraud among them. The feet of the four dead bodies were fanned out like frog flippers, and there were two obvious thick calluses on the palms of their hands.
Jie Hui asked, "Sir, you found something wrong, right?"
Yan Queqing nodded, "The deceased's feet were as wide as a fan, and the toes were all spread out. There were thick calluses on the soles of the feet, which were caused by standing on the boat boards all the year round. There were also two thick calluses on the palm of the hand, which were carved for pulling the net and rope. He looked up at Xing Bo, "These four are fishers!"
At this time, Xing Bo stared at the corpse with wide-eyed eyes, and hurriedly pushed Yan Queqing away to check the corpse, muttering, "How could it be, how could it be..." Looking up at Jie Hui, his face changed, and he gave a wry smile, ironically Pursed lips "I see, I see."
Yan Queqing found that this Xing Bo was getting weirder and weirder.
"That's right, they are just four honest fishermen! You, you actually sent an army to hunt them down day and night, and killed them on the spot. If a few villagers didn't risk their lives to tell me, I wouldn't even know you were such a person!"
Jie Hui stood up from the stool angrily, and pointed at Xing Bo angrily.
"Just because these four fishermen refused to hand over their money, you let your subordinates kill you! Your soldiers have confessed all of this. Although the perpetrators made them, you, the mastermind, deserve to die!"
Jie Hui asked him, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, what else do you have to say?"
Xing Bo closed his eyes, and opened them with a determined expression, "I have nothing to say."
All the officers present were taken aback, Rui Kai got up and asked Xing Bo, "Xing Bo, you, you, did you really do these things?"
Gong Pingen's face was full of disbelief, and he stepped forward involuntarily, "General, no, it won't."
Xing Bo frowned and was very displeased at interrupting their words, "I admit all of this, and I'm still talking too much!"
The rest of the officers wanted to catch him and ask him to clarify, but Xing Bo ignored him and didn't even let anyone touch him, and consciously walked into the prison of the military camp.
Yan Queqing frowned and looked at Xing Bo's back, Xiuran stepped forward and asked him with his eyes—what's wrong?
"His reaction was so strange." A random confession like this?Didn't Jie Hui say that there is no evidence?
And why go to such lengths to kill four fishermen.There is no need to kill one to warn others. The army creates a terrorist atmosphere that makes the people dare not disobey. They are not the ones who hold power and money. Why?
Everything just now was simply inexplicable.
Qi Qi and Xiao Hei were sad, how could their elder brother do such a thing to treat them with good food and drink?
Jie Hui said, "I'll take all the soldiers under his banner to work, and arrest them all, including Gong Pingen." Looking around, he asked, "Where are Xing Er and Xing San?"
Xing Bo's four guards, Xing Da and Xing Si have been arrested, but Xing Er and Xing San are missing.
A soldier raised his hand and pointed in one direction, "They went there just now."
Looking at the direction, it should be Xing Bo's tent. What are the two doing in this critical moment?
People came to the tent with doubts and found that they were burning letters, Jiehui immediately grabbed him and stopped him,
Xing Er was panicked, but he didn't resist. He just defended in a panic, "This, this, is not what you see."
"Take it."
Xing San held onto Jie Hui tightly, "Xing Er, run quickly."
Xing Er paused, and quickly responded, "You have to believe, this is really not done by the young master, it's not like this..." He wanted to take the unfinished letter, but soldiers attacked him with weapons, and he couldn't help it. He had no choice but to escape from the window, and of course the others would not let him go.
To say that Xing Er's escape skills are really first-class, and the pursuers are chasing after him. He dare not take a slow step. After his spiritual power is exhausted, he knocks down the pill and continues. There is no pill to use. Dry bleeding fainted on the road, only to throw off the pursuers.
Yan Queqing picked up the unfinished letters, there were over a hundred of them, the letters were addressed to Xing Bo, after reading a few of them at random, the confusion in his heart was even greater, this person wrote to Xing Bo, but he seemed to say to himself Talking to himself, the whole article writes about where the scenery is good, where interesting things happened, who and what happened, signed fifteen.
Except for one unopened letter, Yan Queqing was the first to read it. The letter and ink were written recently, and the letter read: Dangerous!Ji Yunshan waits, don't trust anyone.
Jiyun Mountain?Isn't it at the junction of the southern border and the barbarian country, who is Fifteen?
Unfortunately, no one present could answer Yan Queqing's question.
Jie Hui shook his head with his hands behind his back, "I've never heard him say that."
"Has Xing Er caught yet?"
"General, there is no news yet."
"We must catch him. No matter whether he is alive or dead, Xing Bo and others will be interrogated. Anyone who has participated in anything will be severely punished! They will all be locked up. I don't want that to happen again."
"Yes!"
After the soldiers took the order to retreat, Jie Hui looked a few years older in a moment.He touched the books on Xing Bo's bookcase, "These are all written by him single-handedly, and he traveled all over the southern border at the risk of danger. You see, this is the landform of the border of the barbarian country he described."
With trembling hands, Jie Hui took out a book, the pain in his heart made him unable to hold the book firmly, and it fell to the ground.
Hua Li quickly asked someone to help him out to rest, drink a cup of calming tea and let him sleep.
Yan Queqing stayed behind, filling a dozen large bookcases with books.One of the cabinets was written by Xing Bo himself.It is what Jiehui said to describe the landform of the border, open it at will, and admire it in my heart.
Such a detailed and accurate map can only be drawn after on-site surveys, as well as the customs of the barbarian country, some practical combat skills, wild survival, formations, and military tactics... all of them were written by Xing Bo himself.
Except for the map, the rest of these soldiers can borrow.
The rest of the people left, and Gong Pingen was also taken into prison for interrogation, leaving only Rui Kai.He and Xing Bo have a good relationship, the two are very speculative, and often get together to discuss, chatting for a night.
He also stayed in front of the bookcase without making a sound.Seems stuck in memory.
Just when Xiuran asked Yan Queqing to leave, Rui Kai let out a sound of doubt. "Huh."
Among the books on the bottom shelf, one book was flipped to the ground, and a green corner was exposed, which should have been knocked over by the soldiers who arrested Xing Er and Xing San just now.
Yan Queqing and Xiuran both looked over.
Rui Kai held a corner and slowly pulled it out. It was a very flexible green paper with faint patterns on it.
Rui Kai turned it over, "What is this?"
Looking at the green paper, Yan Queqing's head flicked, and he suddenly understood, "Tie Jiaguan."
