In the tunnel's secret room, there were several oil lamps hanging on the walls. In the dark corridor were cages separated by iron bars. Inside were frightened young women. They heard the gunshots outside, and the long-awaited officers and soldiers finally arrived.
Rescued them.
The officers and soldiers who originally had distracting thoughts no longer had any wishful thinking when they heard the cries of the women in the cage. They represented justice and were here to rescue fellow women.
Gao Yao Wuyun said loudly: "Female compatriots, don't be afraid! We are officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, a team from Li Guolou of the Ministry of Justice, specially coming from the capital to rescue you. You are liberated!" Gao Yao Wuyun did not use the key as he spoke.
Using her housekeeping skills, she used a hairpin three times, five times and two times to open the iron chain of a cage.
"Wow wow wow wow!" The female compatriots in the cage threw themselves into the arms of the officers and soldiers one by one, pouring out their thoughts for the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers all turned into noble people, comforting the crying women and lamenting their misfortunes. They comforted the women and brought them out of the basement one by one.
Finally, a total of forty-eight female compatriots were brought out from the basement. After questioning, it was found that they were all robbed by the disciples of Xiantian Dao. Some of the women's family members also suffered catastrophe, and their families were ruined. "Shaking Lion" Apsa
He is the bandit leader, hiding here disguised as a follower of Xiantian Dao, and doing unscrupulous things.
Forty-eight female compatriots in the courtyard hugged each other and howled and cried. Next, the nine Xiantian Taoists who were tied up like grasshoppers were beaten, kicked and even their teeth were used by these crazy women.
During the biting, one Xiantian Taoist screamed and one of his ears was bitten off by a woman. The other Xiantian Taoist was even more terrifying, and even his nose could not be saved. Bloody scenes were staged one after another.
It's as joyful as when Xiantian Taoists hold a party. When people have hatred, they will vent it to their heart's content, and the scene will lose control and lead to a violent and bloody scene.
Sun Yueque was unprepared. She originally wanted to let the forty-eight female compatriots vent their anger, but accidentally caused a death. She hurriedly shouted: "Women compatriots, please stop messing around, we are going to hold a criticism meeting."
Stop it! Stop it! I beg you!" As she spoke, Sun Yue stepped forward to stop the crazy female compatriots, shouting: "What fun are you seeing? Why don't you pull away from me?
If something goes wrong, no one will be able to reap the benefits."
How could the officers and soldiers who had witnessed death care about the life and death of these Xiantian Taoist believers? They stepped forward to break up the fight and brought nine scarred Xiantian Taoist believers back from the edge of death.
A Xiantian Taoist disciple narrowly escaped death and cried with a mournful face: "Sister, please see clearly, I am a boy doing chores and I don't know you! I was wronged!"
Sun Yue looked at this Xiantian Taoist. In any chaotic battle, innocent people would always be involved. She kicked him and shouted angrily: "What an injustice! Be honest with me. Someone will come to screen you later."
, stand up for me now!" He was also full of grievances. He was kicked and scolded by Li Guolou for no reason, and was even slapped twice. He didn't know who to vent this nameless anger?
Gao Yaowun walked out of the basement, came to the courtyard, pointed at several prisoners, and shouted angrily: "Tell me the truth, where are the people you killed buried?"
The prisoners looked at each other and looked at each other. They had been beaten so miserably that if they talked any more, they would end up in hell.
"Bang!" Gao Yao Wuyun shook the whip in his hand, frightened several prisoners, and shouted: "Hurry up, I don't have time to spare, I know how to use torture in the Qing Dynasty."
A big prisoner bowed his head and said: "I know where it is? Sir, please take the best of my confession attitude and reduce my crime by one level. Okay?"
Gao Yao Wuyun looked at this big man with a bruised nose and swollen face, and boasted boldly: "I will spare your life and follow me from now on!"
"Hey!" The big prisoner seemed to be grasping at the last straw. He didn't care whether "I" was deceiving him or not? He said quickly: "I know where it is, sir, I will take you there."
Several other prisoners regretted it too late, and their shouts and curses were ignored. They were all escorted to the main hall. Along the way, they were punched and kicked by members of the militia, and were hit several times with rifle butts.
Under the leadership of the big prisoners, a huge boulder was removed from a dry well, which was full of corpses. The militia members removed the remains of the corpses from the dry well. The cruel scene was unbearable to witness.
Seeing this scene, Xie Liya, Wu Peipei, and Bai Lian didn't dare to look any further. They hid their faces and sobbed and walked away. The people watching behind also walked away. Not many people wanted to stay in the smelly courtyard and look at the skeletons.
Gao Yao Wuyun pointed at the wreckage on the ground and rolled his eyes: "Sun Yue, what else do you have to say, do you want to let the people of the Xiantian Dao go?"
Sun Yue stroked her red and swollen cheeks and cursed angrily: "Donkey ball, my grandma's! The 'shaking lion' has killed so many people, I want to skin him alive. There is so much resentment here, it will be haunted in the future."
"Hey, the water and land dojo will last at least thirty days, otherwise no one will want it at a low price." Although Gao Yaowun is a brave man, he really wants to leave this ghost place. The cold wind in the courtyard is deep and dark.
Blowing, it was as if there was an grievance spirit pouring out grievances to her in her ears.
Sun Yue ran away and said in a loud voice: "Captain Gao Yao, I'll leave this to you, I'll report to Captain Li." After saying that, Sun Yue didn't wait for Gao Yao Wuyun to respond, turned around and left the courtyard where the corpses were piled up.
"Bah! You donkey ball!" Gao Yao Wuyun spat at Sun Yue's back. He was a high-ranking official who suppressed others, got ahead of others in doing things, and even let her do the hard work in the end.
"Battle, are you alright? Is there anything else down there?" Gao Yao Wuyun impatiently pointed at the dry well and shouted.
Bartle in the dry well covered his face, raised his head and said, "It's morning, they are all broken bones, so you can lift them slowly." As he spoke, Bartle threw the bones into the barrel, pulled the rope, and asked the people above to lift the barrel.
. He volunteered to climb into the dry well. Battle was not afraid of the corpse, but there was a rotten stench in the air that made people feel like vomiting.
Gao Yaowun regretted taking over this important task. She cursed and urged the people next to her to move more quickly, hoping to finish salvaging the bodies as soon as possible. Looking around, the people watching the excitement had already dispersed. As for the group she led, there were
Six people are still doing this dirty thing.
"Brothers, don't hang your heads. We have done the hard work and I will take you to make a fortune later." Gao Yaowun encouraged his men's morale and asked them to continue working hard to move the corpses.
A member of the militia raised his head and said: "Gao Yao is the head of the arrest. Didn't Captain Li say that anyone who dares to make a fortune will be subject to military law? They will also be fined and they will not be able to receive the reward."
Gao Yao Wuyun flicked his horsewhip and said smugly: "I negotiated the terms with Tou last night. Our people will be given special treatment. Keep up the hard work, gentlemen."
"Hey! Then we have to hurry up. Otherwise, if the captain asks us to close the team, we will be in trouble. I will go down to help." This member of the militia team climbed down the dry well along the rope. After seeing too many corpses, that's all. , no matter how stinky the place is, if there are stolen goods to be fished out, they will be dedicated.
It was already past noon, but no one near the dry well was hungry. They were still working in an orderly manner. From the beginning to the end, there would be great wealth waiting for them.
Li Guolou's official robe was soaked red with blood. He stood in the main hall and looked at the Maitreya Buddha sitting upright on the altar.
The Maitreya Bodhisattva under the curtain is always smiling and looking at all the living beings in the world. Maitreya Buddha is one of the eight great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism. He is also often called Ajita Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and is the successor of Sakyamuni Buddha. He is often revered as Maitreya Buddha. He is regarded as the originator of the Consciousness-only School. His huge ideological system was explained and promoted by Asanga and Vasubandhu Bodhisattva. He is highly praised by Chinese Buddhist masters Dao'an and Xuanzang. He is also deeply loved by the general public. , it is this Buddha that has been used by countless rebels. The White Lotus Sect respects him. During the rebellion, they always say, "When Maitreya Buddha is born, the world will always be prosperous."
Xiantian Tao also regards Maitreya Bodhisattva as the founder and worships Maitreya Buddha as the only god. Although Li Guolou does not believe in Buddhism, he does not do such things as destroying Buddhas. But today he wants to smash a two-foot-tall Buddha. , smashing all the artifacts in the shrine. Maplewood House can be saved from the fire, but this hall must be destroyed. How will the world evaluate him? Just because he believes in Western Catholicism, he will settle this account with Western Catholicism. Go up?
Li Guolou did not dare to see this majestic Buddha. He felt guilty in his heart. "Buddha" is the most sacred creature in people's minds, but he was always spurned by Buddhists. Since he had done something to eliminate the "innate way" Things must have a beginning and an end, and do a good job in dealing with the aftermath, so that the "big hall" and "big Buddha" will not remain in this world.
Li Guolou secretly made up his mind that after returning to the capital, he would go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to donate alms, and later build a more splendid Maitreya Buddha as an apology to the Buddhists.
After receiving the news that forty-eight female compatriots and the corpses of many innocent people had been saved, Li Guolou took a long breath and felt extremely comfortable. He had no worries. This action was well-founded and he was on the side of justice.
Li Guolou smiled casually and said: "It's just as Mr. Bao expected. I will write an emergency document to Mr. Bao now and report the good news to Mr. Bao." After speaking, Li Guolou wrote quickly and spoke in detail for the first time. After finishing writing the official document, he took the official seal from Cheng Kun and stamped it with Li Guolou's ninth grade official seal. He exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart and it was time to feel proud!
"Cheng Kun, ride on my bay-red horse and go to Beijing immediately to report your victory to Mr. Bao!" Li Guolou remembered what was most important in his mind. This time he had achieved fame and could be commended by the court.
"Tie!" Cheng Kun took the document sealed with fire lacquer and a piece of reward silver, his face lit up with joy, and he turned around and left the hall.
Xie Liya, Wu Peipei and Bai Lian came to the main hall and were also happy for Li Guolou. They chatted around Li Guolou non-stop.
"Brother Xiaolou, those fellow women are so pitiful."
"Mike, have you ever seen a person without a nose or ears?"
"Xiaolou, it's so scary. There is still meat on the bones, and there are many snakes. I have never seen snakes crawling on the bones."
Li Guolou casually muffled the matter and waited for news from others. Then good news came from Ai Hai. Sa Dingding and other four Xiantian Dao principal criminals who escaped from the secret passage were also caught.
Li Guolou breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the Taishi chair. He had no reason to be criticized anymore. Those old scholars wanted to think more carefully if they wanted to say that he was not. In the center of the hall, from all over Maplewood House,
The gold and silver jewelry that had been confiscated, as well as bronze utensils, magical instruments and various valuable daily necessities were piled up. Seeing this scene, Li Guolou was in a good mood, and he would be rewarded for his hard work.
"Sister Peipei, didn't you say you would sort out the documents for me?" Li Guolou blinked at Wu Peipei and asked who would best register the confiscated property. He had already found the right person.
"Hey, who asked me to be literate and hyphenated? And I want to take care of Xiaolou's worries. Those who can do it will do more!" Wu Peipei smiled and grinded. She has a lot of work. It seems that tonight will be a sleepless night.
