Chapter 177: It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go

Li Er and Chai Shao didn't know that Luoyang, the eastern capital, had now set off an uproar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It started seven or eight days ago, when the guards guarding the palace wall suddenly found out. In the evening, countless bats suddenly landed on the palace wall, and they couldn't get rid of it. These little things don't forage for food at night, so they lie on the palace wall and gnaw non-stop. I found the captain, but I didn't expect the captain to be shocked when he saw it. Those bats just happened to form a piece of writing on the palace wall, and such a big thing could not be hidden.

Just two days later, two stone statues broke ground at the gate of Luoyang City. The stone statue is quaint in shape, but it takes three or two days to reveal the whole head. And, it seems, it's growing upwards every day. Folklore has it that if you water this stone statue, it will grow. I only heard that Buddhism has such miracles, but I didn't expect it to grow on the edge of Luoyang City.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was curious, and the anxious Yang Guang couldn't wait for the stone statue to grow out of the ground. Someone was sent to dig up the earth and transport the stone statue back to the palace. When he saw the words on the stone statue, Yang Guang was taken aback, and swung a giant hammer to smash the stone statue.

What is written on the stone statue is that the Jade Emperor's surname is Zhang, and he is so mortal that he is punished by Sui Yang. The heroes of the world show their ambitions, and the emperor sits on Jinluan in Yanggu.

On another stone statue, Yang Guang's sins are counted. Killing brothers, killing fathers, slaughtering sisters-in-law, **......! All the acts of animals and beasts are basically written. And it is written with a nose and eyes, as if you have seen it with your own eyes.

Rumors grew like weeds, and within a day the children on the street were singing songs. The Jade Emperor's surname is Zhang, and he is punished by Sui Yang. The heroes of the world show their ambitions, and the emperor sits on Jinluan in Yanggu. The children are not sensible, and the adults in the family are scared to the point of going crazy. I wanted to stop it, but I couldn't stop the forbidden army. Under cross-examination, it was said that it was taught by a beggar with a Shandong accent.

The city searched for beggars with Shandong accents, and caught five or six hundred. Emperor Yang of Sui was not in the mood to identify them one by one, and ordered hundreds of heads to fall to the ground. The killing was so direct that the heads of people were rolling, the blood and water on the ground at the entrance of the vegetable market did not disperse for several days, and flies flew all over the sky.

When something like this happens, Yang Guang naturally wants to find his right-hand man. The text has Yang Su, and Wu has Yu Wenshu. The two also heard the rumors in the world, but they had just entered the palace. I heard something even more magical, and it was on the city wall of Luoyang. Thousands of ants, forming a huge sheet. From a distance, it looks like it is hanging on the city wall.

There is a flood of spectators from near and far, and there is a tendency to continue to expand. The people were uproared by these miracles, and all kinds of rumors about Yang Guang were flying all over the sky. Some stories are evil to listen to.

"What to do? What to do? In broad daylight, there are people who rumor about the monarch's father. In this world, public opinion is surging, if someone has a heart to take advantage of this matter to make trouble, then what should it be? Yang Guang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, circling in circles in the empty palace room. Yang Su and Yu Wenshu could only watch, and it was better not to disturb the rampaging emperor.

"You are servants, tell me what to do!" The rampage can't solve the political problem, and Yang Guang has to find the two of them to solve it in the end.

"The Jade Emperor's surname is Zhang, which has long been confirmed by folklore." Yang Su said cautiously, seeing that Yang Guang's eyes were not good. immediately omitted the last two sentences, and jumped directly to the emperor sitting on Jinluan in Yanggu. "The emperor sits on Jinluan in Yanggu, which seems to literally mean that he sits in Jinluan Hall in Yanggu County. I just don't know if there is a big family surnamed Zhang in Yanggu County. This kind of thing can't be done by small households.

However, we also have to consider whether someone is planting the blame. How can there be a rebel who exposes himself to the court before he gets into trouble. Your Majesty, don't be used by someone with a heart! ”

After Yang Su finished speaking, Yang Guang's face became even more gloomy. He doesn't care if someone rebels, he just has soldiers in his hands to kill him. What he cared about was what the stone statue said. He'd done most of it, and he said it pretty much the same. This is what he is most frightened about, how can the darkest side of a person's heart be exposed to the public.

Now rumors are spreading in the capital, and the most important thing is to block people's mouths. Killing those hundreds of beggars is a deterrent. But on the surface, it is blocked, the corners are shaky, how can you block the night talk of the husband and wife. Is it possible that you still have to send forbidden troops to every house? That's a death of your own! The lesson of King Zhou Li is a lesson from the past!

Yu Wenshu was so shrewd that he could see through Yang Guang's mind at a glance. sighed in his heart: Yang Su is old after all. It looks like the Yang family is about to fall like a meteor.

"Yue Guogong's words are wrong! This kind of thing must not be tolerated or accommodated. Even if you do someone else's knife, you must nip the source of rumors in the bud. Otherwise, those who are ambitious will stand on their own. There are foolish men and foolish women among the people, and they believe in this. Yu Wenshu said as he peeked at Yang Guang. Sure enough, when he saw Yang Guang, his eyes were also looking at him. I was overjoyed, it seems that I guessed correctly this time.

"Go on!" Yang Guang saw Yu Wenshu stop and immediately urged.

"Now, you should immediately inform the backer Wang Yang Lin with an urgent eight hundred miles. Yanggu County, Shandong, as long as the surname is Zhang. Especially for large households, they are captured in one piece. Those who are behind the scenes should be severely tortured to extract confessions, and they should be executed regardless of whether they are recruited or not. In this matter, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake. Don't let one go, Your Majesty should give a strict edict to the king of the backer. Never forgive! ”

Yu Wenshu knew that his idea would set off a bloody storm in Yanggu County. As long as it is surnamed Zhang, it is among the slaughter. But the Yang family is about to be lonely, and the Yuwen family wants to continue to be brilliant. can only borrow the blood of these people to please the emperor to dye his red crown. The family gate valve has always been in charge of its own development. Who will care about the Shandong border thousands of miles away, a group of people who have never known each other are dead or alive.

"Your Majesty! This cannot be done. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one. Yu Wenshu, do you know how many people are surnamed Zhang in Yanggu. That would be bloody ......! Yang Su didn't expect Yuwenshu to be so ruthless, and just wanted to say a few words. saw Yang Guangwolf's eyes, and for a while he held the rest of the words in his stomach.

It was clear that the emperor was very fond of Yuwenshu's idea.

"Your Majesty's holy candle shines, but this matter is still Your Majesty's dictatorship. Minister, do your best! Yang Su screamed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down to give a salute.

"No need, leave this matter to General Yuwen at the disposal. The servant was tired of shooting, so he went back to rest. Yuwenshu, remember what you said. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one. Yanggu's family surnamed Zhang left a chicken and a dog. I'm the only one who asks. ”

"No! In Yanggu County, stones have been knives and houses have been on fire. As long as it is surnamed Zhang, the chicken and dog will not stay. Yuwenshu bowed down, pitiful of the family surnamed Zhang in Yanggu County, Shandong. A catastrophe is about to be ushered in!

Where did Li Er, Chai Shao and the others know this in Licheng County, watching Yun Hao wander around all day long. The owner looked at the west and asked him how he did it. This guy is concerned about him, one moment saying that the weather is really good, and the other saying that the moon is really full today. Damn, where did the moon come from in broad daylight. Li Er was so angry that he kicked over the case!

The news came one after another, and Hou Junji was so busy all day that he hit the back of his head with his feet, and kept running back and forth to inquire about the news.

"What? The king of the backer led his soldiers and killed all the people surnamed Zhang in Yanggu County? Hou Junji's eyes widened, and he stared at the official of the government in disbelief. My God, the surname Zhang is a big surname. In a county, there are thousands of people with the surname Zhang. This is said to kill all the kills? He was very suspicious that this errand was trying to coax himself for money.

"Master Hou, how dare I coax you every day. The imperial court specially sent the Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu to supervise the sentence, and the forbidden army from the eastern capital was called Xiaoguo. The smoke and dust kicked up by the horse team on the road can be seen for ten miles. Search from house to house, and kill one when you see one. From the eighty-year-old man and the old lady, to the doll in the confinement period, he didn't let go of any of them. It is said that even the family's livestock did not escape for their lives. That's a miserable one! ”

Yuwen Chengdu just killed or buried it, and the job of burying people was thrown to the local officers. For the tragic scene at that time, this errand soldier saw it with his own eyes, and now he is still frightened when he thinks about it.

"I heard that there is a big family in Yanggu County, and he seems to be related to the king of the backer. Even his family suffered? Hou Junji hurriedly asked about the fate of the culprit, if he didn't die if they were all dead, then Yun Hao would have failed too much in this matter.

"Don't talk about being related to the king of the backer, even if you are related to the king of Hades. The imperial court will die with a sword. You don't know that Zhang Dahu's family died the worst. His family is one of the largest families in Yanggu County, with thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of slaves. None of them escaped, and the dolls in the confinement all had to fall to their deaths on the tree with their calves.

The big house was split into three pieces, and my brother's corpse was collected. The yard was full of corpses, stacked like hills. The blood soaked the soil, and a stream of blood would come out of the ground when you stepped on it. There are hundreds of people in the whole family, and they will burn it when they pour fire oil. The entire Zhang family's mansion was burned to the ground.

I heard that the sage said that as long as the surname is Zhang in Yanggu County. The head is too knife, the house is too hot, and the chicken and dog are not left. Now the Zhang family's mansion has been reduced to a ghost, and even beggars who have nowhere to live are unwilling to go there. ”

"Uh......! Thank you, big brother, it's a little interesting. Hou Junji took out the money bag, stuffed it into the servant, and left without looking back.

It's so fucking shocking, I don't know how Yun Hao got it. actually let the current sage speak and plunder the entire Yanggu County surnamed Zhang. I'm afraid that now all the people surnamed Zhang in Shandong are living in trembling. I am afraid that on that day, His Majesty the Emperor will expand the scope of the attack. The most unlucky ones are those surnamed Zhang in Yanggu County, who didn't know that they had violated the royal law until they died.

When Hou Junji saw Li Er, Li Er was shaking with a letter. Chai Shao's face next to him was not good-looking, and the eldest grandson Wuji sat aside with a gloomy face. The atmosphere in the hall is very wrong.

"Second master, Yanggu ......!" Hou Junji tried to report it, but was stopped by Li Eryang.

"It's all known, you go and call Yun Boy over. See what he's done? Li Er snapped, and slapped the letter on the desk. Frightened, Hou Jun gathered a spirit, and immediately ran to the backyard to pull Yun Hao over. Li Er, who is in a rage, no one can afford to provoke him.

"Second master, are you looking for me?" Yun Hao didn't know what had happened, Hou Junji rushed to the back house and picked himself up and left. It's like there's a wolf behind you!

"Say, what have you done? That big family killed your brother, how innocent is the surname Zhang in Yanggu County. Unexpectedly, all the people surnamed Zhang in the whole county were slaughtered, do you know that there are 3,786 people. If you count the innocents who were affected, no less than 5,000 people were killed in Yanggu County. That's what you're going to do! Li Er said angrily and kicked over the case. The fruit and tea cups were spilled on the ground, and none of the servants outside dared to come in to clean up. They were all scared like plague chickens, cowering in the corner of the wall to probe their brains.

"What?" Yun Hao was shocked by this number, and he just wanted to make a big deal. For Mao Quanyanggu County, the surname Zhang is unlucky!

"You rely on your seven-trick exquisite heart to do evil, you know that this time there is a sea of blood, people and gods are angry. Even my father wrote to ask what was going on! Li Er pointed at Yun Hao, his fingers trembling like a stroke. That is, Yun Hao is too small, and he doesn't dare to start. With this small body, Li Er can kick apart with one punch.

"More than 5,000 people...... Killed all? Yun Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his mouth was very dry. In an instant, the saliva ran away without a trace.

"I just asked Brother Chu and Uncle Chu to carve a stone statue and bury it under the city wall, and then smear the blood of the yellow eel on the palace wall and draw a letter. Oh yes. also let the city wall be brushed with sugar water, and it was also painted into a single character. But I just wanted to borrow the hand of the saint to kill Zhang Dahu, but I didn't expect that the people surnamed Zhang in Quanyanggu County were all killed. ”

Yun Hao squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, and more than 5,000 people died because of one of his ideas. How did he know the way the nobles of this year behaved, and if they wanted to take revenge. It doesn't target a specific person, but draws a circle in one place and another place, and then strikes indiscriminately. In such a matter as gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts, all dynasties have adhered to the attitude that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. In Yang Guang's view, this kind of purge is simply normal.

It was a time of superstition and sword-rule, full of blood and violence. Human life is not worth anything in these years.

"That's all you did?" Chai Shao asked in surprise. He didn't understand, he just smeared a little blood and sugar water or something. How could such a big consequence occur?

"The blood of the yellow eel is the bloodiest, and the bats will lie on it and lick it when they smell it. Whatever words you write, those bats will naturally compose them. Ants like sugar the most, and they brush it on the city walls with sugar water. Ants will naturally cling to it, and naturally whatever you write, they will form whatever you write. I really didn't expect the saint to be so ruthless. Yun Hao couldn't even cry, thinking of more than 5,000 lives. He felt like the world was spinning. It was as if a thousand pairs of hands had sprung up from the ground to drag him into the Infernal Hell.

"That's ......!" Li Er and Chai Shao glanced at each other, and they talked about killing people in these years. It's really faster to play with brains than with knives, this kid has such an idea. In just a dozen days, more than 5,000 people were killed. It's staggering!
