The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 268
Because no matter how Zhao Sandao answers, it can't change the result of his death.

After the simple questioning, Zhao Yanxun had no intention of asking again, not to mention that Zhao Sandao didn't answer seriously, he was just shirking responsibility.

While asking questions, Zhao Yanxun also turned on the system perception just now, and learned that there are still a group of women imprisoned here.

That's why Zhao Yanxun ordered Lin Dagui to search this place to find everyone.

A group of guards stayed behind to guard, and another group of guards searched in the stockade. After a while, a group of women were driven out.

It can be seen that these people have long been numb, so at this moment they are neither afraid nor "surprised" after encountering officers and soldiers.

"My lord, these damn bastards are really nothing, they locked all these women in cages, and several of them still have big bellies!"

Lin Dagui was so angry that the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

In the hall of the cottage, Zhao Yanxun calmly said: "Take all these bandits back to the city no matter whether they are dead or alive!"

Lin Dagui was very puzzled by these words, so he quickly asked: "My lord, why don't you kill them all at once, let them live a few more days, and it will be cheaper for them!"

"This king has his own calculations, let's do things... By the way, tell those women outside that they are saved!"

Lin Dagui didn't say much, he bowed and said, "I take orders!"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Dagui exited the hall, stood on the steps and looked down, and said loudly: "Tie up all these guys, and find a way to tie up the dead ones, and bring them back on horseback!"

The guards got busy immediately, and if the bandit kneeling on the ground didn't cooperate, he would be beaten severely immediately.

At this moment, Zhao Sandao lowered his head, with a sinister look on his face.

He gave up the resistance just now because the resistance will die immediately, and now it seems that he will not die for a while, so he thought of escaping.

Thinking about this in his heart, Zhao Sandao was soon tied up too.

At this moment, Lin Dagui walked in front of more than 20 women, and said in a deep voice: "You are saved, it was the prince who saved you, hurry up and clean up...although we are going back to the city!"

After Lin Dagui finished speaking, the people present did not respond, and their expressions were still dull.

"You are saved, you are saved... No one will bully you in the future, do you hear me?"

Lin Dagui increased his voice, and all the women still stood still, but there was a little light in their eyes.

After a few breaths, someone finally cried out with a "wow", the sad voice made people cry.

After the first person cried, people cried one after another, and the scene was filled with women's cries.

Over the past six months or so, they have been subjected to inhuman treatment. During this period, some of them were tortured and persecuted to death.

So they have no hope, so they live like walking dead, and all their emotions are deeply suppressed in their hearts.

At this moment, their emotions that have been accumulated for half a year, grievances, sadness, fear... all burst out, and naturally they cried faintly.

Lin Dagui didn't urge these poor people to cry out all their grievances.

Originally, Lin Dagui thought that he would be reprimanded for procrastinating, but it turned out that he was overthinking.

For these poor people, Zhao Yanxun will also feel compassion, and it doesn't matter if he stays a little longer.

After about ten minutes passed, these women stopped crying one after another, and then under the command of Lin Dagui, they collected as many things as possible in the cottage.

For food and clothing, they took as much as possible, and some even moved a big pot with two or three people.

At this time, Zhao Sandao and others were all tied up alive and strung together with ropes.

This is not over yet, each of them is tied to a corpse, and they will have a hard time going out of the mountain.

Of course, there were too many corpses and these people couldn't take them down. The guards put the remaining corpses on horseback, and some horses had two heads tied to their heads.

Afterwards, the group of them walked out of the mountain, and the village was directly abandoned.

However, Zhao Yanxun did not forget that there was Ma Cheng who left the cottage, so he left a team of guards waiting for him.

A group of people left slowly, and the gate of the cottage was closed, as if nothing happened, at least there was nothing unusual on the outside.

But no matter how well the recovery is, those left by Zhao Yanxun are doomed to be futile.

Because at the moment on the other side of the hillside, Ma Cheng and his two brothers saw everything in his eyes.

Being driven out of the cottage to hunt, Ma Cheng didn't go far at all, thinking about making a fool of himself, he went back.

Later, when he heard the shouts of killing in the cottage, he immediately went back to check, and then saw the one-sided massacre.

Even watching from a long distance, Ma Cheng was so frightened that he couldn't bear the idea of ​​returning to the village to help.

So he hid far away on the top of the mountain, lying on the tree and forgetting the whole process, and naturally found the guards who stayed in the village.

"Brother, the cottage is gone... what should we do?" asked the minion at the side.

"Go... go far away!" Ma Cheng said with a gloomy face.

He knew that Zhao Sandao would definitely confess himself, so this place must not stay any longer, and the farther he went, the safer he would be.

As for revenge?Ma Cheng has no idea
………………

On the edge of the Bahe River, the pontoon bridge has been completely completed after laying at noon.

At this moment, Wang Cheng was sitting on the bank of the river, eating steamed buns and pickles, looking leisurely and content.

Nearby, the soldiers gathered around Baihu and had lunch like Wang Cheng.

"It stands to reason that the guards should also arrive, but the prince has an order... They must enter the territory of Andu today!"

"Master Wang, Xu Yu and the others are here, and they are being summoned by the prince, they are over there..." After saying this, Cui Xing'an pointed to the south.

There were numbers blocking his view, but Wang Cheng still knew that it was Zhang Ersheng's residence.

"Has the lord found the thief?" Wang Cheng got up and asked.

"My lord is wise and mighty. It's not easy to find these thieves. There are only nine alive...and thirty dead bodies!"

"There are so many people, alas... I'm also to blame. I didn't strictly supervise and urge my subordinates to investigate, so I let such a group of bandits hide in the mountains!"

Seeing that Wang Cheng began to blame himself again, Cui Xing'an didn't know how to respond.

"Lord Wang, the prince has captured the murderer. There is such good news...we should tell the brothers quickly!"

Hearing Cui Xing'an's words, Wang Cheng slapped his forehead, forgot this important matter.

Singing praises for Zhao Yanxun is the most basic skill of an official in the palace. If you forget this, you don't even have the most basic loyalty.

"Thank you for reminding me, brother Cui!"

This time, Wang Cheng referred to Cui Xing'an as Brother Cui, so he didn't treat him as an outsider.

Building a relationship with Wang Cheng is exactly what Cui Xing'an needs. Building a relationship network can be said to be an instinctive reaction of an official.

Next, Wang Cheng called all the soldiers together and announced the arrest of the murderer.

Immediately, overwhelming shouts sounded from the banks of the Bahe River.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, long live!"

The soldiers were happy from the bottom of their hearts, as long as the person who killed the Wangfu, no matter where the world was, the Wangfu would arrest and punish him.

At this moment, even ordinary soldiers deeply felt that they were part of the palace, and the prince did not treat them as outsiders.
