Chapter 109: The truth is revealed, Gu Jinnian resists the decree, kills hundreds of officials in an
In the government office hall.
As King Qilin's voice sounded, Su Huaiyu instantly realized something was wrong.
As soon as Wang Ping revealed the truth, King Qilin spoke up and angrily scolded him for his boldness.
A terrifying force suppressed him, this was the sense of oppression coming from King Wu.
He is threatening Wang Ping.
And it also condenses the power of the Martial King.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Gu Jinnian's voice sounded at this moment.
He also noticed that something was wrong. King Qilin dared to do this at a critical moment. He really had no scruples at all.
It's obvious that I'm the one doing the judging.
As a result, Zhou He and his gang took turns coming out to threaten the prisoner, but Gu Jinnian tolerated it.
As soon as this King of Qilin appeared, he started acting arrogantly.
He is a king with a different surname in Daxia. He has a high status and great power. Moreover, this is the Western Region. With the help of the dragon talisman, he barely suppressed King Qilin.
Even using the word "suppression" to describe it is somewhat inappropriate.
It was because of his status that King Qilin chose to remain silent. Otherwise, he could have made King Qilin surrender with just a piece of dragon talisman? Is this possible?
Unless it can be ensured that this dragon talisman is genuine.
To be honest, Su Huaiyu's identity is still not good. If the person who took out the dragon talisman was Liu Yan or Wei Xian, no one would question it.
But no matter what, the dragon talisman was taken out.
But I didn't expect that King Qilin would dare to act so arrogantly.
To put it in a nicer way, King Qilin is called the unruly Prince of Daxia.
To put it mildly, King Qilin looks down on you, Gu Jinnian.
After all, Gu Jinnian is only sixteen or seventeen years old and has not even reached the crown. King Qilin does not take Gu Jinnian seriously at all.
puff.
At this time, Wang Ping vomited blood, and the energy and blood in his body was boiling, and he fainted on the spot.
How could an ordinary person resist the aura of a martial arts king?
This was the first time Gu Jinnian spoke, otherwise Wang Ping might have been killed on the spot.
Su Huaiyu went over immediately to check the other party's breath.
The person is not dead, but he has suffered serious internal injuries, and I am afraid he will not be able to recover in a short period of time.
Seeing the look Su Huaiyu gave, Gu Jinnian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then the anger in his heart completely exploded at this moment.
"King Qilin."
"Do you want to be silenced in public?"
Gu Jinnian looked at King Qilin and roared.
Feeling the cold eyes of Gu Jinnian, King Qilin showed no fear.
On the contrary, it makes sense.
"This person framed Lord Bailu Mansion in public."
"I think there must be someone behind this."
"If you want to frame someone up, and if you want to make everyone in Bailu Mansion feel in danger, you should know better than me, Prince, right?"
"How can a small outsider know the secrets of a majestic king? Everyone can see that he deliberately framed him, or of course he may have been instigated by someone."
"But no matter what, whether he is being instigated by others or framed as a frame-up, I cannot stand by and watch and let him talk nonsense."
King Qilin spoke up, and his words were flawless.
There's nothing wrong with his logic either.
Indeed, how could a mere county official know the majestic Mr. Bailu Mansion? Especially knowing the secret of Mr. Bailu Mansion?
But it is illogical. It is illogical. You can ask about things slowly and interrupt them directly. Moreover, you want to kill people and silence them in public.
This official power is really not small.
Gu Jinnian remained silent.
At this moment, the voices of other officials also sounded.
"Indeed, you can't believe what this kind of person says. It has no effect."
"A mere county member actually got involved in the government. Why would you want to incriminate him?"
"I'm afraid there is someone behind the scenes, right? Otherwise, how could the secret of a prince be known to such a person?"
Officials from Bailu Mansion and Jiangling County also spoke. They did not say anything, but agreed with what King Qilin said.
However, Xu Ping, the Lord of Bailu Mansion, did not speak. Firstly, his injury was not healed yet, and secondly, he did not want to say anything and remained silent.
It can be said that except for the common people outside the government office, everyone here is basically their own enemy.
King Qilin, Zhou He, Xu Ping, hundreds of officials of Jiangling County, hundreds of officials of Bailu Mansion, plus some invited scholars and masters, were also full of hostility towards him because of Kong Zhen.
Of course, he invited them here. Gu Jinnian also knew in his heart what would happen. The purpose of inviting them here was to see all this with his own eyes.
Everyone in the room is your own enemy.
This is probably what it means to be attacked from both sides.
And everything is nothing more than two points, fighting alone.
These people are hugging each other.
The power of one person is indeed difficult to suppress.
A lot of pressure.
It was so big that Gu Jinnian didn't know what to say.
But at this moment, a figure quickly broke into the government office.
Then, regardless of everyone, he came directly to Gu Jinnian and transmitted the message of martial arts.
"Your Highness, there was a conflict in Qingyuan Temple. Fairy Yaochi noticed the problem and wanted to go into the back mountain to check, but was stopped by the monks. Please make a decision, Your Highness."
The transmission sounded.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but be surprised.
There was indeed something wrong with Qingyuan Temple, and he was right.
"Immediately, send an additional 50,000 troops to surround Qingyuan Temple. No one is allowed to enter. Then pass the secret order. King Qilin's army of 100,000 people will be under control. There are Xuanmen gates in the four major city entrances of Bailu Mansion. They will be escorted into Xuanmen.
At the gate, prepare another 20,000 crossbowmen and be ready for everything."
Gu Jinnian replied via voice message.
He knew that there was something wrong with Qingyuan Temple, and now it has finally been revealed. This is good, and it can be considered a slight progress.
But the matter has not been resolved yet, and it needs to be done step by step, especially with King Qilin's 100,000 troops, Gu Jinnian is really murderous.
It's just that the critical moment hasn't come yet, and more importantly, I don't have any legitimate reason to do such a thing.
You can be impulsive yourself.
He could also use his blood to kill an army of 100,000 people, but Gu Jinnian really couldn't bear the consequences of this killing.
You can be reckless, but there is a fine line between rough and tumble. If you do things too far, you will cause huge trouble for yourself and the Gu family.
He killed a hundred thousand troops so casually, he could really die as an apology.
However, he still had to stabilize the situation for now, and he had to wait for the results of the Qingyuan Temple investigation to come out.
If the disappearance of the children is related to Qingyuan Temple, or if Wang Fugui and others are at Qingyuan Temple and they find out some information, then the deadlock can be broken.
Why didn't Gu Jinnian kill these officials?
Why are you talking nonsense here?
Don't you dare?
No.
It's not that I don't dare.
But Gu Jinnian knew what he was going to do.
Save these children.
This is the important thing. Being restricted by these people and disgusted by these people are not big problems.
The children are the most important.
Gu Jinnian would be able to accept even half of the five to six thousand missing children being recovered.
If a person is alive and can return home and be reunited with his parents, then everything doesn't matter. So what if he feels a little wronged?
"yes."
The latter obeyed the order and left quickly.
As for the others, they looked at Gu Jinnian one after another. They didn't know what the purpose of this person's coming was, and they didn't know what he said to Gu Jinnian. They were all full of curiosity.
"Prince."
"Do you want to continue the trial?"
At this moment, King Qilin's voice sounded again.
Ask Gu Jinnian if he wants to continue the trial.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian just glanced at King Qilin, who had already fainted, so why should he be interrogated?
However, Gu Jinnian did not choose to rest, but spoke.
"Call the remaining witnesses."
Obviously, Gu Jinnian was stalling for time. He wanted to delay until everything was ready and wait for an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
However, at this moment.
Compared with the undercurrent in Bailu Mansion, Daxia Kyoto has completely exploded.
The matter of Gu Jinnian's deployment of 200,000 troops to suppress Jiangling County could no longer be concealed. As more and more information became known, all officials knew about it.
And today it will be above.
Even before going to court, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty had already begun to make trouble.
"How could this be accomplished? How could it be accomplished? Two hundred thousand troops were dispatched as soon as they were told. All Jiangling County officials were detained by Gu Jinnian and taken to Bailu Mansion. No one knows whether they are alive or dead."
"All the necessary roads were blocked by the army, and even a letter could not be sent. This Gu Jinnian simply ignored the royal law and trampled the court system under his feet. This is a capital crime, a heinous capital crime.
"
"There is no such thing. Who allowed him to mobilize 200,000 troops? Without the Ministry of War's deployment of troops and without His Majesty's order, what Gu Jinnian did was simply arrogant and arrogant. This is a capital crime. I must be in court today.
, impeach him Gu Jinnian."
"Yes, we must impeach. Could it be that this Great Xia Dynasty belongs to his Gu family? It belongs to his Gu Jinnian?"
Voices sounded one after another, and hundreds of officials roared. Except for a few important figures who did not speak on this matter, most of the officials were roaring again and again.
Some generals didn't know what to say after hearing this. Too many things happened during this period.
The Xiongnu Kingdom and Daxia are incompatible with each other and may declare war at any time.
Forget it, some time ago, Marquis Changyang died suddenly and suddenly, which also caused some controversy. This incident happened not long ago, and now something like this happened again.
The power of the generals seemed to be on the decline, and one after another events made them feel heavy.
If what Gu Jinnian did had not been approved by His Majesty, then this matter would have really gone wrong.
And even with His Majesty's permission, all civil servants will not give up.
There was no other reason. Gu Jinnian was too ruthless. He could mobilize an army of 200,000 people just at the drop of a hat? There is no reason for that.
It is indeed a bit excessive, and it is indeed a bit messy.
Even the Duke of Zhen Guo couldn't protect Gu Jinnian.
Along with the controversy among officials, a voice also sounded.
"Xuan Baiguan enters the court."
As the eunuch's voice sounded.
For a moment, all the officials also shut up and slowly walked from the cabinet into the main hall.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
Pay homage as always.
In the main hall, just after Emperor Yongsheng finished speaking, a voice sounded directly.
"His Majesty."
"I have this instrument to play."
The voice rang out, it was the left minister of the Ministry of War.
"Play."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly, without any emotion, as if he knew what would happen.
"Your Majesty, Gu Jinnian, the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, went to Jiangling County, privately mobilized 200,000 troops, blocked Jiangling County, and even detained all officials to Bailu Mansion."
"According to reports from spies, King Qilin sent a hundred thousand troops to suppress the inspectors, but he never thought that Gu Jinnian would go crazy and fight with King Qilin's one hundred thousand troops. For Gu Daquan, General Chang Fei chose to surrender."
"Now it is controlled by Gu Jinnian in Bailu Mansion."
"Deploying troops privately, blocking off a county, detaining officials, and intending to cause civil strife are four capital crimes. Your Majesty, please immediately prepare an order to forcibly take back military power. The Shankui Army will detain Gu Jinnian to the capital and issue him to Dali Temple for review."
"I want to kill Gu Jinnian, otherwise the imperial court will collapse and the world will be in chaos."
The left minister of the Ministry of War was more direct. He directly convicted Gu Jinnian without any exaggeration.
This is no longer a question of being targeted or not being targeted.
But what Gu Jinnian did was indeed unkind. What is the most important thing in a dynasty? It’s the rules!
If there were no rules, and troops could be mobilized whenever they wanted, and they could do whatever they wanted, wouldn't this country be in chaos?
If the Ministry of Rites cannot scold others, can we just kill them all?
The Ministry of Industry is making utensils, but because the price offered by the merchant is too high, can it just lead troops to raid the house?
The Ministry of Revenue has no money to pay salaries to hundreds of officials. Can we let the officials directly go and plunder the people's wealth?
As the voice of the Minister of War sounded.
Immediately, a new voice also sounded.
"Your Majesty, the Confucian family sent a letter to inform them that Kong Zhen, a great scholar of the Confucian family, was tied to a wooden stake at the entrance of the city by Gu Jinnian and was beaten by Gu Jinnian just because he spoke too much. This practice is extremely cruel and insults the saint.
It also shows Gu Jinnian’s cruel nature.”
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Gu Jinnian."
He was a Confucian minister, and the Kong family immediately sent a letter telling them something. Naturally, they had to tell the matter at the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, what Gu Jinnian did like this is that he regards the law as nothing and the imperial power as nothing. He acted recklessly and arrogantly by relying on the title of Duke of Zhenguo. I beg your Majesty to convict him."
Voices sounded one after another.
The attitude of all the officials was unanimous.
This was not something that was agreed upon, but what Gu Jinnian did was indeed unkind.
The rules are messed up and the rules of the court are messed up.
Explain in one sentence.
No matter what happens, you must abide by the rules, but Gu Jinnian trampled on them.
Listen to the officials speak.
Emperor Yongsheng remained silent.
After everyone calmed down completely, Emperor Yongsheng slowly spoke out.
"This time, it is my order for Gu Jinnian to go to Bailu Mansion."
"The matter of troop deployment is also my intention."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, and his words shocked all the officials in the court.
"Your Majesty, if this is really what you mean, why don't you inform the Ministry of War?"
Some Confucian officials spoke up and asked about Emperor Yongsheng.
"The Ministry of War?"
Emperor Yongsheng stood up, then picked up a memorial from the side and threw it directly into the main hall.
"Open your eyes and take a look."
"Look what happened to Bailu Mansion."
"Look what happened in Jiangling County again."
"In just two years, more than 7,000 children have disappeared in Gangneung County."
"Why should I inform the Ministry of War? Notify you officials who have violated your conscience?"
Emperor Yongsheng's roar of filial piety sounded.
In an instant, the faces of all the officials became extremely ugly.
Many officials even looked horrified.
They didn't expect that something like this happened in Jiangling County. After all, Jiangling County blocked the news, and the information they got was also very limited.
Unlike the six ministers, all of whom have hands and eyes, it is obvious that they have known about it for a long time, so they have not spoken since the beginning of the court meeting.
At this moment, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty finally understood why Gu Jinnian was making such a big fuss.
Seven thousand children lost?
In just two years.
This is really not a small matter. It is a big deal in Kyoto.
Seeing the silence of the officials, Emperor Yongsheng continued to speak.
"Gu Jinnian did not mobilize his troops without permission, everything was my will."
"However, now that the time has come, I really should take care of these corrupt officials."
"Pass on my decree to have Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Xuan Deng Department go to Bailu Mansion to examine the case of missing children."
"The Minister of Dali Temple, the Left Assistant Minister of the Criminal Department, and the Commander of the Hanging Deng Department are the supervisors."
"All command authority shall be handed over to the commander of the Hanging Deng Division for investigation and handling."
"Ask Gu Jinnian to return to Beijing quickly and prepare for the ceremony of making a marquis."
"After the truth comes out, all criminals will be sent to Kyoto and punished severely."
"Wei Xian listens to the order. I order you to go with us and write down everything you see verbatim. I want to see what kind of person is hidden behind this small Bailu Mansion."
"I also want to see if an army of 200,000 can suppress Jiangling County."
"do you know?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
In fact, he already knew about this matter and sent Gu Jinnian there just in the hope that Gu Jinnian would stir up the troubled waters.
Now that things have met his expectations, there is no need for Gu Jinnian to get involved.
Gu Jinnian has already shouldered a lot. If Gu Jinnian's temper is indeed a bit uncontrollable, he can come back now.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew about this matter, and I, the Emperor of Great Xia, knew about it, and then the people of the world would also know about it.
Then no one can hide this matter.
They have their own ways to solve it.
"This slave obeys your order."
Wei Xian opened his mouth and accepted the order on the spot.
When the officials looked at all this, they understood in their hearts that Emperor Yongsheng was actually favoring Gu Jinnian. The matter of troop deployment was definitely not that simple. Even if the emperor authorized it, he had to inform the Ministry of War.
After all, the troops dispatched are 200,000, not as simple as 23,000.
However, since such a big thing happened in Bailu Mansion, concealing it and not reporting it became the main thing, and all the officials did not dare to continue to pester Gu Jinnian.
Moreover, Gu Jinnian will also be recalled. The merits and demerits are equal to each other. He should not be punished, as long as Gu Jinnian can return to Beijing honestly.
in this way.
At the end of the court meeting, the officials gathered in groups of three to five to discuss the matter.
The six ministers are not idle either. When such a big thing happens, it is natural that some matters need to be negotiated privately.
The Dali Temple, Xuan Deng Division, and Punishment Department also rushed towards Bailu Mansion as soon as possible after receiving the news.
Especially Gu Ningya.
When he heard that Gu Jinnian had gone to Bailu Mansion, he was even more anxious to leave, but before leaving, Gu Ningya also visited Gu's house.
He didn't know whether the old man was clear, but he still needed to discuss this matter with the old man.
An hour later.
Gu Ningya walked out of Gu's house with a calm expression.
Because what the old man means is very simple.
It's almost time. Gu Jinnian returns to Beijing, and someone will handle the remaining matters.
But he also said something extra, no matter what Gu Jinnian did, he represented the Gu family.
But Gu Ningya didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first. After thinking about it for a long time, he gradually understood.
Gu Jinnian's trip to Jiangling County was arranged by the old man, or in other words, it was an arrangement by the old man and His Majesty.
But Your Majesty thinks it's okay.
But the old man did not stop His Majesty, but he gave Gu Jinnian the greatest confidence.
Something big is going to happen.
Although Gu Ningya usually chats and laughs with Gu Jinnian, he may be sitting in the position of commander of the hanging lamp department, and his thoughts are more delicate than anyone else.
In this way, several groups of people quickly rushed towards Bailu Mansion.
in this way.
At night.
In Bailu Mansion, some people were breathing heavily, and even some officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a little sleepy.
After Wang Ping fainted, Gu Jinnian called other witnesses and asked questions, but he never got a result, giving the impression of stalling for time.
Everyone has stayed with Gu Jinnian until now.
As the candle burned, Gu Jinnian was still asking about some ordinary things, probably where he lived, whether he had a wife and children, and other nonsense.
These officials were a little unhappy, but it didn't involve them, so they let Gu Jinnian continue to make trouble.
Anyway, delaying time is a good thing for them. Once the court finds out, Gu Jinnian will no longer want to show off his power here.
Although they also knew in their hearts that when the court found out, they would definitely punish him severely.
But what is the result of severe punishment? It is nothing more than a group of people being beheaded, but most of them can be saved. I have never heard of beheading all the officials in a place.
D.
The same is true in the court. As for Xu Ping and Zhou He, they were demoted or dismissed from office and exiled.
Because the core of this matter is nothing more than ‘knowing without reporting’.
It can be said that even if all of them are captured in Kyoto, through the operation and dealings of all parties, no matter how big the matter is, it will be suppressed bit by bit, and then a small group of people will be unlucky, and most people will suffer.
Gone.
If you dare to do this kind of thing, there will be people above you, and it will be easier to do things if there are people. This is the rule since ancient times.
Gu Jinnian was rambling here, and they knew in their hearts that there was nothing they could do about it, right?
It was at this time.
When Gu Jinnian interrogated some useless information.
The figure who came to report before appeared again.
"His Royal Highness."
"Something bad has happened. The army surrounded Qingyuan Temple. Eight hundred monks from Qingyuan Temple gathered and set up a fire. They would rather die than let Fairy Yaochi and others break into the back mountain. If they cross the Leichi, they will commit suicide in the temple."
"Qingyuan Temple and Dayin Temple have a connection. Fairy Yaochi asked her subordinates to come and report."
The figure appeared, still the voice of martial arts.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinnian immediately put down the things in his hands, glanced at Su Huaiyu, and followed him without saying a word.
"Go to Qingyuan Temple."
Gu Jinnian didn't hesitate when he spoke.
He didn't know what was hidden in the mountains behind Qingyuan Temple, but the biggest clue now was inside Qingyuan Temple.
Eight hundred monks risked their lives to stop it?
This is the guilty conscience of being a thief. The biggest breakthrough has appeared. If you use it well, you can catch them all in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Gu Jinnian ran away quickly without wasting time.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?"
King Qilin stood up, looked at Gu Jinnian and asked.
However, Gu Jinnian didn't even look at King Qilin. The war horses were already prepared outside, so he mounted and left.
For a moment, all the officials looked at me, then at you, and finally looked at King Qilin.
The latter didn't hesitate and followed immediately. Seeing this situation, the officials also quickly followed.
Suddenly, everyone followed Gu Jinnian and left.
Shan Kuijun was guarding the road in front, while Gu Jinnian and Su Huaiyu ran towards Qingyuan Temple.
King Qilin and others followed behind.
soon.
An hour and a half passed, and everyone was running with all their strength.
Finally arrived at Qingyuan Temple.
Qingyuan Temple is a famous place in Gangneung County. It has a history of hundreds of years. The first generation abbot was a senior monk of Dayin Temple.
Dayin Temple is the first Buddhist temple.
For this reason, the incense in Qingyuan Temple is constantly burning, and many believers come to Qingyuan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Many people even travel hundreds of miles to come and burn incense and worship Buddha.
But today.
Inside Qingyuan Temple, it looked very strange.
There was no one in the temple, and iron cavalry surrounded everything. As Gu Jinnian and others arrived, someone immediately stepped forward and took Gu Jinnian to the back mountain.
The mountain behind Qingyuan Temple.
far away.
Eight hundred monks blocked the cavalry, and there were piles of charcoal around them. All the monks were sitting around, with the attitude of "I will light the fire if you dare to break in."
Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Yunrou were blocked from the outside, standing not far away and watching these monks quietly.
Waiting for Gu Jinnian to arrive.
Fairy Yunrou's voice immediately sounded.
"There is a big problem here. When I came here for the first time, I didn't notice anything. Our attention was all on the inside of the temple and ignored the outside."
"And Yaochi seems to know something, you can ask him."
Fairy Yunrou took a sip of wine and told Gu Jinnian roughly what happened.
"Fairy Yaochi, what's going on?"
Gu Jinnian spoke and looked at Fairy Yaochi.
"I asked them if they knew Brother Wang and the others, but they said they didn't know him, but I heard their thoughts. They wanted to kill Brother Wang and silence him."
"I can't find any clues in the temple, so I think there is something wrong with the mountain behind."
Fairy Yaochi spoke, this was her answer.
Fairy Yaochi has some extraordinary talents and can hear other people's voices, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes she can only hear some insignificant things.
But now it comes in handy.
"Your Highness, these monks stopped us and said that if we want to break into the back mountain, we must step over their corpses."
"There is a law in Daxia that prohibits killing monks. We cannot violate the law."
"Please let His Royal Highness make a decision."
At this moment, Xu Jin spoke, and he came to Gu Jinnian to inform him of the specific situation.
Hear this.
Combining all the above, Gu Jinnian looked at the monks in the distance. Each of them clasped his hands and recited Buddhist scriptures, seeming to regard death as home.
In the distance, the highest-ranking monk seemed to feel Gu Jinnian's gaze.
Then he opened his eyes, looked at Gu Jinnian, and shouted loudly.
"General."
"The back mountain is the place where I, the eminent monk of Qingyuan Temple, passed away. There is immortal Buddhism. If you break in without permission and disturb the soul of the eminent monk, it is a sin. I, the eminent monk of Qingyuan Temple, have set up a lamp of immortality on the back mountain."
"Pray for blessings for the people of Jiangling County. The soldiers have a strong evil spirit. Once they get involved, they will destroy the place of prayer. There will be natural and man-made disasters in Jiangling County. I hope the general will forgive me."
This is the abbot of Qingyuan Temple. He shouted loudly, hoping that Gu Jinnian would show his noble hand and let it go.
Only ghosts believe this.
"Everyone will obey the order."
"Assemble five thousand cavalry and rush into the back mountain for me. Search the situation. If you find anything, report it immediately."
Gu Jinnian spoke with a cold expression and directly issued the military order.
As soon as he said this, the faces of these monks became extremely ugly. Many young and energetic monks stood up and clutched their torches tightly. If you dare to break in, I will die.
You see the trend.
The Daxia Dynasty did not kill monks, or in other words, no dynasty in the world would kill monks.
There is no other reason. Just like Confucians, Buddhism has ascetics who cultivate blessings for the world, so they receive blessings from heaven and earth. Those who kill Confucians will perish, and those who destroy Buddhism will suffer misfortune.
If eight hundred monks died here, it would be a big deal. It would not be a problem for Gu Jinnian, but a problem for the Daxia Dynasty. Both the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty had Buddhist orthodoxy.
Although there was Buddhism in the Daxia Dynasty, there was no real orthodoxy. If something like this happened, they would definitely take this opportunity to criticize the Daxia Dynasty. After all, the number of believers was too large.
You still need to spend money to study. Believing in Buddhism is very simple. Just kneel down and worship, and you are considered a Buddhist believer.
"No."
King Qilin's voice sounded.
His voice was like thunder, suppressing everyone present and stopping Gu Jinnian from behaving like this.
"Why not?"
Gu Jinnian looked at King Qilin.
"Don't kill monks in Daxia. Buddhism is a pure place and you won't be tolerated doing anything wrong."
"Gu Jinnian, I don't care what you want to do in the government office. My mother believes in Buddhism and is also a disciple of Buddhism. If you trample on Buddhism like this, I will not allow it."
King Qilin spoke up.
Find any reason to stop Gu Jinnian from exploring this back mountain.
"Your Highness, there is indeed a prayer tower on the mountain behind Qingyuan Temple. It is said to be feng shui. If you break in and destroy the feng shui here, we, the people of Jiangling County, will be unlucky in the future."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, you can't do this nonsense."
"These monks are protecting the people. Why does His Highness do this?"
"Why did Hao Duanduan come to Qingyuan Temple?"
There were sounds one after another, and these officials opened their mouths to stop them.
However, Gu Jinnian said with a cold expression.
"Military orders are like mountains."
"Don't do it yet?"
Gu Jinnian yelled. He was too lazy to talk nonsense to these people. The flaw was right here, and he still wanted to delay himself?
After hearing this, Shan Kuijun stopped talking nonsense and directly gathered his cavalry and charged towards the back mountain.
"you dare?"
King Qilin roared loudly, and it seemed that he was going to take action.
"Gather the army and capture King Qilin for me."
"Send the order again and shoot King Qilin's 100,000 cavalry."
"Your Majesty, I have escorted your men to the entrance of Bailu Mansion."
"Do you believe that with just one sentence from me, one hundred thousand people will be wiped out in an instant?"
Gu Jinnian is really not afraid anymore.
If you have the ability, take a look and see whether you are stronger or whether you are quick in military orders.
As long as the news is conveyed, a hundred thousand cavalry will be wiped out in an instant.
Sure enough, after hearing this, King Qilin fell silent.
No matter how stupid he is, he will never be stupid enough to sacrifice his 100,000 cavalry.
This is his foundation, because such a fight that ruins the lives of hundreds of thousands of cavalry would be a huge trouble.
"General."
"If you send cavalry to break in, we monks will die here."
The monk in the distance spoke with a firm expression.
"Then let me die for you."
When Gu Jinnian heard this, he responded directly, then took the torch aside and threw it into the distance.
Soon the torch fell to the ground and landed in the middle of the fire.
In an instant, a raging fire broke out, and the faces of the eight hundred monks changed drastically.
The expressions of all the officials also changed.
Who would have thought that Gu Jinnian could be so ruthless and dare to kill?
If this is to be killed, it is no small matter.
When the cavalry broke in, they had no worries and started searching directly in the back mountain.
Burning under fire.
The monks were completely panicked and started to run away one by one. They could scare Gu Jinnian, but they didn't dare to die if he really wanted them to.
As for the officials, they were extremely anxious and sent people to put out the fire.
Fortunately, the fire was not big and the other party was just pretending, so no one was injured.
However, a few old monks were obviously panicked and got up and left.
"Detain all these monks."
Seeing this scene, Gu Jinnian immediately had these monks detained.
in this way.
Less than half an hour.
In the back mountain, an iron cavalry rushed towards them, bringing several people with them.
It's Wang Fugui and others.
Sure enough, it's here.
Gu Jinnian immediately took a deep breath, but the officials were extremely curious.
"His Royal Highness, someone was found imprisoned in the back mountain."
Xu Jin appeared and put Wang Fugui, Jiang Yezhou, and several others down.
At this moment, Wang Fugui and others were feeling weak, their faces were pale, and they were obviously thinner.
At that moment, Fairy Yaochi directly took out some elixirs, performed magic, and entered them into their bodies.
Gu Jinnian came to the side to check their injuries.
A quarter of an hour later.
Wang Fugui woke up slowly, his eyes blurred. When he saw Gu Jinnian's appearance, although Wang Fugui was a little weak, he wanted to grab Gu Jinnian's shoulders.
"Temple temple temple underneath."
Wang Fugui spoke. He was very weak and didn't know what happened. Even after swallowing the elixir, he still passed out.
Under the temple?
Gu Jinnian frowned.
At the same time, he looked at Fairy Yaochi and said.
"Fairy Yaochi, Brother Wang and others are under your care."
He didn't have time to take care of Wang Fugui now, but stood up and looked at Xu Jindao.
"There may be a secret passage under Qingyuan Temple. If you search carefully, if it doesn't work, overturn Qingyuan Temple."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
give an order.
"Follow orders."
Xu Jin didn't waste any time, gathered people again and started searching.
Gu Jinnian's face was stern.
He didn't need these monks to confess on their own.
He wants to see the results for himself.
Tap tap tap!
Tap tap tap!
Five thousand elites searched frantically in Qingyuan Temple. There was no place that they did not investigate carefully. They even opened some Buddhist scriptures and scanned them to see if there were any problems.
in this way.
An hour later, a voice sounded.
"found it."
As the sound rang out.
Everyone couldn't help but rush to the main hall.
I saw a soldier running out quickly.
"His Royal Highness."
"The Arhat's throne has a mechanism, and there is a secret passage under the Buddha, but it can only be accessed by one person."
The soldier spoke, looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Open the passage for me."
Gu Jinnian didn't talk nonsense, the evidence was about to appear.
Nothing long-winded.
Soon, five hundred people entered the temple, armed with axes and hammers, and directly expanded the underground passage of the Buddha several times. Some soldiers even smashed the foundation to reveal a huge hole.
At this moment, everyone entered.
Gu Jinnian also let out a long breath, thinking that Qingyuan Temple should be the place where the child was hidden.
After all, places like temples are indeed peaceful. Although there are pilgrims, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and these people are very courageous.
Normal people would never think of Qingyuan Temple.
As the tunnel appears.
Xu Jin and others volunteered to go down and test the situation to see if there was any danger.
Gu Jinnian nodded and agreed.
Then two hundred elite soldiers followed Xu inside.
The stone in Gu Jinnian's heart also completely fell.
No matter what, as long as the common people's children are found, everything they have suffered will not be worth mentioning.
This is the point.
As for the rest of the matter, it is up to the court to deal with it. Those who deserve punishment will be punished and those who deserve to be killed will be killed.
But Xu Jin and others entered the tunnel for a full hour, but there was no movement at all, which was puzzling.
The good thing is.
An hour and a half later.
Xu Jin and others came out.
"Is the child down there?"
Seeing Xu Jin and others coming out, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but speak. This was what he cared about most.
However, he keenly noticed that the faces of Xu Jin and others were not very good-looking, especially the two hundred elites who had followed them before. They all had their heads lowered, and there was some panic in their eyes.
It's a little thought-provoking that it can make soldiers panic.
"His Royal Highness."
"under"
"Your Highness, it's better for you to go and see it yourself."
Xu Jin swallowed and seemed unable to tell what was going on, so he could only ask Gu Jinnian to see for himself.
For a moment, Gu Jinnian's heart skipped a beat.
I feel something is wrong.
But he still nodded.
Entering the secret passage directly, Su Huaiyu followed beside him and walked forward together.
Leave these officials standing here.
Most officials are just curious.
But Xu Ping was the only one who looked extremely pale.
"Master Xu, please be careful and wait for someone from the court to come and take a good rest."
But at this moment, King Qilin's voice sounded, telling Xu Ping to take a good rest.
Hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but look up at King Qilin.
Both sides looked at each other.
At that moment, Xu Ping took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became calm.
Soon, everyone entered the tunnel, which was not particularly spacious.
But as you go further down, it becomes more and more spacious.
At the back, there is a different cave, like a mausoleum, with oil lamps on both sides.
Because he had come down once before, Xu Jin led everyone forward, saving some time.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour.
Finally a larger space appeared.
But everyone was stunned on the spot.
In a huge underground space.
A blood-red spider was locked in the air, clinging to the spider web.
This spider was very large, at least ten feet wide, but all its legs were broken, leaving only its body.
The huge spider web is scary.
But that's not what's really scary.
Rather.
On the spider web, there are clumps of spider threads, and among the spider threads are girls.
On the foreheads of these girls, there is a spider thread as thick as an index finger, inserted between the eyebrows, and a trace of blood condenses along the spider thread into the spider itself.
Quiet.
Everyone held their breath.
Gu Jinnian was a little stunned.
He looked at all this with some disbelief and some not knowing what to say.
There are three to four thousand spider clumps, large and small, on the spider web.
Many spider balls also fell on the ground, and inside were corpses that were extremely dry.
"Blood Demon Spider."
"Why is there such a monster here?"
"This kind of monster drinks human blood to practice cultivation."
"But its legs and feet were cut off, as if it were being sacrificed."
"No, it's impossible. No one would sacrifice such a thing."
"Unless it's for tempering blood essence."
Su Huaiyu was also shocked. He couldn't help but speak and looked at all this.
He told the origin of this monster.
But Gu Jinnian's voice couldn't help but sound.
With trembling.
"Can these children be saved?"
Gu Jinnian's voice was trembling, not from fear, but from numbness all over his body.
He has done so many things.
Deploy an army.
Lawless.
Challenge the prince.
Everything is done with the thought of saving these children.
As long as people live.
Everything is easy to say.
"The moment the spider thread pierced the center of the eyebrow, there was no way to save it. These children would have died long ago."
"Some of them seem to have just penetrated not long ago."
"They are just containers now, containers for refining blood essence."
Su Huaiyu didn't want to be too direct.
But in the end, I told the truth.
All dead?
Gu Jinnian's body felt a little weak, and he almost fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Xu Jin and others immediately helped Gu Jinnian.
"His Royal Highness."
Several people shouted.
And Gu Jinnian grabbed Xu Jin's shoulder, his body was shaking, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.
It's a monstrous murderous intention.
More than five thousand children.
Even if the missing children in Bailu Mansion were abducted, Gu Jinnian would not be so emotional.
If you are kidnapped and sold, the worst case scenario is to buy it back and use the money to do things and spend money on the treasury.
But I didn't expect that it would be ten times, a hundred times worse than trafficking.
At this moment, Gu Jinnian felt a monstrous murderous intention.
Real murderous intent.
"Xu Jin!"
"you listen to me."
"Listen to my prince."
"Now!"
"Now!"
"Go out now and behead all those officials on the spot."
"Tell them again, including their families and their nine tribes, to let them."
"In addition to Xu Ping and Zhou He, I will keep them both."
"No, no, no."
"Leave all the main officials to me, I will let them die of torture."
"Go and deliver the order again."
"I'll shoot King Qilin's 100,000-strong army immediately."
"I will give blood for blood, tooth for tooth."
Gu Jinnian is really going crazy.
He could hardly speak clearly.
There are five to six thousand children. Although their families may not be rich, they have a father and a mother, and are loved by their elders.
Their future may not be very exciting.
But they are the foundation of Daxia.
Being trafficked.
Gu Jinnian had nothing to say, some people are beasts and their interests are overwhelming.
But now I am being treated so cruelly.
Gu Jinnian simply didn't know how to face these people's parents.
These people's families.
How many people will suffer from this for a lifetime.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
Voices sounded one after another.
Gu Jinnian was really about to faint. He was so angry that he fainted. He was so painful that he almost fainted.
He couldn't understand.
What kind of beast can he do such a thing?
"Your Majesty!"
"Calm down!"
Su Huaiyu yelled and grabbed Gu Jinnian's shoulders to calm him down.
Although he was extremely unhappy inside, he hoped that Gu Jinnian would calm down.
Otherwise, something will happen.
Hear Su Huaiyu’s words.
Gu Jinnian gradually calmed down.
Time passed little by little.
A full two hours.
Gu Jinnian stayed here for two hours before he completely calmed down.
"Xu Jin."
Gu Jinnian spoke a little hoarsely.
All the soldiers were silent, but their eyes were firm.
"Don't move yet. Bring the three tribes of officials outside."
"Don't let anyone go."
"Detained to Bailu Mansion."
"And Kong Zhen."
"Everyone who has anything to do with them has been detained."
"Qingyuan Temple is completely closed."
"Don't spread the news here. Kill the demon spiders and place these corpses properly."
"But don't tell it, brothers, don't tell it."
"My lord, I kindly ask you all to strictly control your mouth and don't say a word."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
He didn't want this matter to be spread out, but once it got out, it wouldn't affect the issue.
But the parents of these children will be heartbroken and will not tell them that they still have another thought.
It would be too cruel to tell them.
Gu Jinnian couldn't do it.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will never spread rumors randomly."
The soldiers all spoke together, but there were tears in their eyes. Although they were soldiers, their hearts were full of flesh.
How many of you are not sad when you see this scene?
Thinking of the people outside who were complaining about injustice, they didn't know how to deal with it.
"Go ahead."
Gu Jinnian made a dull sound, then sat here and watched all this quietly.
He calmed down though.
But this incident left an indelible mark on his heart.
Su Huaiyu sat aside, silent.
Although he had not been in contact with Gu Jinnian for a short time, he could tell what kind of person Gu Jinnian was.
So kind.
He is the kind of character who cannot bear to see the suffering of the people.
It is hard to imagine why one of the top dignitaries in Daxia would have such a character.
But Su Huaiyu clearly knew that Gu Jinnian's character would truly win the hearts of the people.
Because he serves the people and never for any benefit.
Doing things for the people comes from the heart.
in this way.
Time passed little by little.
Outside, no one knew what happened. They only knew that after Xu Jin came out, he immediately blocked Qingyuan Temple with heavy troops and brought all the officials to Bailu Mansion.
Then for a whole day, Gu Jinnian didn't show up, as if everything had calmed down.
But with the movements these days.
In Jiangling County, many people came here, all of whom had lost their children.
They came here just to find their children.
Until late at night.
Finally, the imperial decree came.
Wei Xian announced that the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Xuandeng Department would jointly investigate the incident. After praising Gu Jinnian, he invited Gu Jinnian to return to Beijing.
There is no need for Gu Jinnian to do anything here.
After getting this answer, all officials were mixed with joy and sorrow.
Fortunately, Gu Jinnian is leaving. This unruly person has really given them a headache.
What's worrying is that if the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Xuandeng Department join forces to handle the case, I'm afraid there will be trouble.
But no matter what, Gu Jinnian is leaving, so everything is easy to say.
Moreover, Gu Jinnian was not seen for two consecutive days. In the opinion of the officials, Gu Jinnian might have secretly returned to Beijing.
And at this time.
Under the tunnel of Qingyuan Temple.
The soldiers were collecting the children's bodies.
Xu Jin came in and informed Gu Jinnian that someone from the court was here, and also relayed Wei Xian's imperial edict to Gu Jinnian.
"General Xu, have other matters been handled properly?"
Gu Jinnian asked the other party.
"Go back to Your Majesty the Crown Prince and take care of everything."
Xu Jin nodded.
"good."
"I will go back at noon tomorrow."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, his tone showed dejection.
"yes."
Xu Jin nodded, he understood what Gu Jinnian was going to do.
But he didn't stop it.
Because he thinks what Gu Jinnian did.
is right.
That's it.
With the close cooperation of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Xuandeng Department, Yuzi began to conduct thorough investigations one by one. The three parties were indeed very powerful, and they also uncovered officials one by one.
At the meeting place, Gu Ningya and Gu Leng were sitting on the left and right.
Gu Ningya was a little curious that Gu Jinnian hadn't come out yet.
Gu Lieng glanced thoughtfully outside the government office, but in the end he didn't say anything.
until.
Noon on the second day.
A group of thousands of elite soldiers went on a rampage and directly detained all the major officials of Bailu Mansion and Jiangling County.
They even ignored the Ministry of Punishment, the Department of Hanging Deng, and the Dali Temple.
The eucalyptus has been handed over to the three parties, and all officials are detained in one place and interrogated by the three parties respectively.
However, the Shankui Army suddenly appeared and was so domineering that they captured all the officials, arousing the curiosity of all forces.
King Qilin, the great scholars sent by the Confucius family, and people from the imperial court rushed there one after another.
No one knows what happened.
I only saw Xu Jin leading his men, detaining the officials to the open space of the execution ground, and tying them to the ground.
It attracted many people from Bailu Mansion to watch.
"What are you doing?"
"You don't listen to the orders of the Ministry of Justice? Are you going to rebel?"
"You dare to take people from Dali Temple by force? Do you want to rebel?"
There were roars one after another, and people from the Punishment Department, Dali Temple, and the Hanging Deng Department all became angry.
As for Gu Leng, Gu Ningya, and the ministers of Dali Temple, they did not come forward directly.
"The Crown Prince's Military Order."
Xu Jin's face was cold and he rejected everything with just four words.
The Prince’s Military Order.
This answer made everyone curious. Everyone thought that Gu Jinnian had left, but they didn't expect that Gu Jinnian hadn't left yet?
And at this time.
Inside Qingyuan Temple.
Gu Jinnian walked out of the temple.
The sun is shining down.
But it couldn't get rid of the darkness in Gu Jinnian's heart.
He mounted his war horse and rushed towards Bailu Mansion.
Su Huaiyu never left.
Fairy Yaochi and others returned to Bailu Mansion to take care of Wang Fugui and others.
in this way.
About an hour.
Gu Jinnian came to Bailu Mansion.
Came to Bailu Mansion again.
Gu Jinnian went straight to the execution ground.
However, someone spotted Gu Jinnian and couldn't help but shout loudly.
Soon, many people appeared, and some even knelt on the ground and cried loudly. His daughter was missing. Hearing that Gu Jinnian was dealing with such grievances in Bailu Mansion, he came running non-stop.
Then, more and more people appeared who wanted to find the child. They cried and shouted, begging Gu Jinnian to give him a helping hand.
Some people spend all their wealth in search of children.
Some people will sacrifice everything to find their children.
No one knows how much hardship we endured and how many sins we suffered along the way.
As long as the child can be found.
They are all willing.
Gu Jinnian didn't look at them.
It’s not that I don’t want to see it.
But I dare not look at it.
In my mind, I can't get rid of the corpses of thousands of children.
and.
When Gu Jinnian appeared at the execution ground, many people immediately came over.
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has a decree. What Your Highness has done this time has won His Majesty's favor. I also ask Your Highness to return to the capital as soon as possible to receive your merits."
The first person to come was Wei Xian. He had the imperial edict in his hand and had been looking for Gu Jinnian for the past few days. Now that he saw it, he was naturally extremely happy and came to congratulate him.
However, Gu Jinnian ignored him.
Go directly over.
"Jinnian, where have you been these past few days?"
"Don't worry about this matter. This is what the old man wants. You should have a good rest. Now Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Xuan Deng Division will investigate to the end. You can go back to Beijing and rest."
The second person to come was Gu Ningya.
He was originally smiling, but when he saw Gu Jinnian's eyes were so heavy, he stopped smiling.
However, Gu Jinnian still passed by and ignored his sixth uncle.
In the distance, Gu Leng saw all this, but remained silent. He originally wanted to come over, but in the end he didn't come.
He seemed to know something and understood Gu Jinnian's current mood.
As for the third person.
It was Xu Jin who came over. His expression remained unchanged, he raised his hands and spoke.
"Your Highness, everything is fine."
Xu Jin spoke and told Gu Jinnian that everything was ready.
Hear this.
Gu Jinnian nodded.
Then he looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and said with a cold expression.
"cut!"
Gu Jinnian spoke.
The voice sounded.
In an instant, hundreds of soldiers, holding swords in hand, came directly behind the officials to execute them.
In an instant, a series of voices sounded.
"No! Jinnian, Your Majesty has a decree. I have taken over this matter. Don't do anything wrong."
Gu Leng's voice sounded, and his expression changed. He didn't expect Gu Jinnian to be so decisive.
Although he had some guesses, he never expected that his nephew would do this.
"Jinnian, don't commit any crimes. These people still need to investigate. Many things have not been concluded yet, and the law does not punish everyone. You can't kill them all in one go. Don't talk nonsense."
Gu Ningya came directly and told Gu Jinnian not to commit any crimes.
"Gu Jinnian, His Majesty's decree has been issued. This matter has nothing to do with you. Dali Temple will take over. Don't mess around."
The minister of Dali Temple was also shocked and quickly stopped him.
As for the officials kneeling on the ground, their faces were all pale with fear.
Why did Gu Jinnian go crazy all of a sudden?
"Your Majesty has your will."
"Gu Jinnian, are you resisting the decree?"
"The king is here, who dares to mess around?"
Soon, King Qilin's voice sounded.
He also spoke out at critical moments to stop Gu Jinnian's behavior.
He even threatened the Shan Kui Army.
only.
There was a burst of screams.
Soon, not far away, heads fell to the ground one after another.
But it's not the heads of hundreds of officials.
But it belongs to their relatives.
Not far away, a group of people appeared, taking the prisoner aside and beheading him as Gu Jinnian said just now.
This group of people immediately executed him.
It's just because Gu Jinnian attracted everyone's attention.
"What's going on?"
"Who are these people?"
"Who allowed you to kill people indiscriminately? What do you think of the Ministry of Justice?"
There were sounds of surprise, confusion, and the roars of some officials from the Ministry of Justice.
Although the people killed were not officials, there is still a problem with beheading. Without verification from the Ministry of Punishment, who can do anything?
"Madam, madam, why was my wife beheaded?"
"Dad, Dad, Gu Jinnian, why did you kill my father?"
"Brother, that's my brother, Gu Jinnian, are you crazy?"
At this time, the voices of hundreds of officials kept ringing.
They were a little stunned at first, but after they calmed down, they were shocked to find that the people who had just been beheaded were actually their relatives.
All of a sudden, the officials started crying and howling.
"Gu Jinnian, do you want to die?"
"Gu Jinnian, you are resisting the decree."
"Gu Jinnian, you regard the laws of Daxia as nothing. Your Majesty will never let you go."
A roar sounded.
The officials from Kyoto were completely numb.
Gu Jinnian is simply crazy.
The emperor had issued an order, but he didn't expect that Gu Jinnian still wanted to kill him.
"Xu Jin, control everyone. Anyone who dares to interfere with the execution ground will be killed without mercy."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
His voice was cold.
"The general will obey the order."
Xu Jin didn't waste any time. A large number of soldiers instantly appeared on the street, blocking everything and maintaining order.
The Ministry of Punishment is also good.
Dali Temple, Hanging Deng Division.
All are controlled at the first time.
Even Gu Ningya was forcibly pulled aside.
"Jin Nian."
"Don't be confused."
"You can't kill him. You really can't kill him. Uncle Six promises you that anyone who deserves to be killed will definitely be killed as long as he is suspected of this crime. Don't make arbitrary decisions or resist the order."
Gu Ningya was anxious. He shouted anxiously, hoping that Gu Jinnian would calm down.
"Jinnian, there is a decree, you can't mess around. Grandpa can't protect you if you act like this."
Even Gu Leng, who had always been extremely calm, was a little anxious at this moment.
Gu Jinnian mobilized 200,000 troops.
Just treat it as a private authorization from the emperor, and pass the blame back to Wu Wangzhi. Just make things smoother, and the Gu family will give some compensation, and everything will be fine.
But now, the emperor has issued an order for Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Xuan Deng Division to jointly investigate this matter. To put it bluntly, the imperial court will take charge of this matter.
Killing is fine.
Just let it go.
It is also the meaning of the imperial court and the meaning of His Majesty.
It means civil and military officials.
But Gu Jinnian is now following a path of irreversibility.
This can't be killed.
It can't be killed.
"His Royal Highness, you must not kill him. I beg you, Your Highness, please calm down."
Even Wei Xian spoke up and begged Gu Jinnian not to act out of emotion.
"Cut again."
Faced with everyone's persuasion, Gu Jinnian just spoke indifferently.
Say two words.
In an instant, another group of people appeared and their heads were beheaded.
They are the closest relatives of these officials.
Heads rolled to the ground one after another.
The group of officials let out heart-wrenching cries and curses.
Even though the Ministry of Punishment jointly investigated and tried to kill them but they were beheaded, Gu Jinnian was so ruthless that he wanted to kill their whole family.
This is too cruel.
"Gu Jinnian, you beast, why did you kill my whole family?"
"Gu Jinnian, you resisted the decree, you ignored the imperial power, and you ignored the Ministry of Justice."
"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost, ah ah ah!"
These curses continued.
The people watching didn't know what was going on, they just looked at it.
"Cut again."
Gu Jinnian's expression did not change.
Another head fell to the ground.
Everyone looked numb.
I was also dumbfounded.
"cut!"
Gu Jinnian did not pause.
People are replaced one after another.
The smell of blood permeates the air.
Some people are uncomfortable.
Gu Jinnian's killing was so chilling that even King Qilin was moved.
He didn't expect that Gu Jinnian could be so cruel.
Do you want to trade your own life for theirs?
At the end, Xu Jin's voice sounded.
"His Royal Highness."
"All the officials and their families were killed."
As this voice sounded.
Gu Jinnian looked at these officials with endless killing intent in his eyes.
"Painful, huh?"
"Desperate, huh?"
"Have you ever thought about how painful it is for these people who have lost their children? How desperate they are?"
"You, as officials, do not redress the grievances of the people, do not relieve the people's worries, whether it is for profit or for power, it is the people who will be harmed, and ultimately you."
"Today, my eldest son, I will let all officials in Daxia know that those who are unkind as officials will be killed without mercy."
"cut."
Gu Jinnian spoke again.
Give an order.
The official's head fell to the ground instantly.
But soon, another group of officials were arrested.
These are officials from other prefectures and cities.
In the past two days, Gu Jinnian asked Xu Jin to investigate secretly and quickly.
The officials he beheaded were basically those who had come into contact with this matter but had done nothing.
As long as there was no contact, Gu Jinnian would not have killed innocent people in vain.
As for the whole family being beheaded, they were all the main officials involved.
One is one.
Two is two.
Gu Jinnian would not kill innocent people indiscriminately out of anger. These people all deserved their death.
"cut."
"cut."
"cut."
Inside Bailu Mansion.
Gu Jinnian's extremely powerful voice sounded.
Every sound represents a head falling to the ground.
The Ministry of Justice was dumbfounded.
The lantern maker was dumbfounded.
Dali Temple was stupid.
Wei Xian was also dumbfounded.
The prince of the mansion, the county governor, and some other high-ranking officials were all dumbfounded.
What Gu Jinnian did will definitely cause big trouble.
This is really about sacrificing one's life for one's life.
Half an hour later.
Xu Jin spoke again.
"Your Highness, all criminals will be beheaded."
"Zhou He and Xu Pingping, the main officials involved, will be executed in Lingchi."
Gu Jinnian spoke up again.
Beheading is just a punishment.
Gu Jinnian will not be merciful to the officials involved in Zhou He and Xu Pingping.
But as soon as he said this, Zhou He's voice immediately sounded.
"I am the governor of Jiangling County. You cannot kill me without Your Majesty's will."
"Gu Jinnian, you just want to use military power to harm me."
"Why can you kill me? And what can you use to accuse me?"
"I want to go to Beijing to meet the saint."
When he heard about Ling Chi's execution, Zhou He couldn't help but speak.
He obviously didn't want to.
"Gu Jinnian, you have gone too far."
"Can you make the decision for the magistrate of this county?"
"It's not enough for you to kill so many officials. How many more do you want to kill?"
"There must be a reason for killing people. Mr. Zhou just listened to the slander and failed to fulfill his duties. Even being sent to the frontier is considered a severe punishment, but you want to put him to death in a hurry. Did you, Gu Jinnian, write this Daxia law?"
"It's just nonsense, nonsense."
The sound kept ringing.
Gu Jinnian looked extremely indifferent.
But at this moment.
Someone suddenly knelt on the ground, a woman. She looked at Gu Jinnian and cried loudly.
"grown ups."
"Is our child dead?"
"Sir, the common woman has been looking for her for a year, and she also knows that this poor child of mine is no longer in the world."
"But the civilian woman wants to see her for the last time, please sir, please let me see her."
The woman knelt down.
She seemed to have guessed something. After all, the case was still under investigation, but Gu Jinnian directly killed so many people.
People don't understand.
But these parents who have lost their children are gradually realizing something.
Gu Jinnian must know some secrets.
It's just that Gu Jinnian didn't say anything.
In an instant, the people were kneeling on the ground one by one, just like this woman, begging Gu Jinnian to give them an answer.
Although they vaguely guessed it.
But they still want to get a definite answer.
See this scene.
Gu Jinnian was silent.
This is what he fears most.
I don’t know how to face these people.
I don't know whether I should say it or not.
He didn't want to say it.
But I am afraid that they will search in vain.
But seeing them kneeling on the ground, each one crying loudly, hoping that Gu Jinnian could give an answer.
Even if I die, I still want to know the answer.
Listen to the people crying.
Many people are curious.
Gu Jinnian took a deep breath.
Look at the people kneeling on the ground.
Gu Jinnian bowed deeply to the people.
"It's Gu who is incompetent."
Gu Jinnian lowered his head.
He did not dare to look into the eyes of the people.
As soon as this statement came out.
The people kneeling on the ground were all completely lost.
Some people even fainted directly.
I simply can't bear this blow.
"My lord, is there anyone alive?"
Some people swallowed their saliva and looked at Gu Jinnian, hoping to see a little hope. Even if there was still one person alive, wasn't it a kind of hope?
But Gu Jinnian's voice was trembling.
He never raised his head.
Slowly speak out.
"Six thousand four hundred and fifty-two missing children."
"Collect the corpses, six thousand eight hundred and ninety-two."
The voice sounded.
All of a sudden.
Everyone present was stunned.
Wei Xian, Gu Ningya, Gu Leng, etc., etc.
Everyone was stunned.
Six thousand four hundred cases were reported.
The death toll far exceeded.
That is to say.
No one will survive.
Gu Ningya was stunned on the spot.
He finally understood why Gu Jinnian was so crazy.
Wei Xian, on the other hand, stood still in a daze.
