Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

Ten years ago, Tang Jingxiao at the gate of Jincheng, the then king of Wei, and today's emperor Li Shu, were behind the [-] Zhou army, looking at the capital of Gaochang Kingdom.At first, they didn't think about massacring the city.

Gaochang is just a small country, and it is easy to destroy the country because of treachery.After the country was destroyed, according to the old practice, the capital guard mansion was set up here, and the people of Gaochang could become the people of the Great Zhou.

However, Li Shu and Tang Jingxiao soon discovered that the fighting spirit of the people of Gaochang was extremely fierce.Even though the city had been besieged for more than three months, the people of Gaochang had no intention of surrendering at all.The torches in their temples were kept burning day and night, and every night all the people of Gaochang worshiped and prayed in the holy fire, there were faint wailing and screams, and the fighting spirit of the people of Gaochang turned out to be getting higher and higher.

Li Shu and Tang Jingxiao were helpless, so they sent some military scouts to investigate the situation in the city.However, they soon found out that the people of Gaochang Kingdom all believed in a Siam religion from the Western Regions, and the holy fire was what they worshiped.The people of Gaochang Kingdom used captives or killed Da Zhou soldiers to sacrifice to the sacred fire every night!

This sacred fire ceremony is very cruel, and the sacrifices are based on living people to enhance the power of the sacred fire.They firmly believe that when the holy fire becomes stronger and stronger, it can help them defeat the army of Da Zhou.In the beginning, there were still enough Da Zhou captives and dead soldiers to offer sacrifices to the holy fire, but later on, the people of Gaochang used their own people to offer sacrifices to the holy fire!Those who were burned alive wailed continuously in the long night, drowned in the prayers of the whole city. The scene was really terrifying!

When the military scouts of the Great Zhou found out the news, Li Shu almost lifted the military tent.He originally wanted to use the method of besieging the city to make Gaochang surrender, leaving a way out for the people of Gaochang, but he didn't know that the people of Gaochang actually believed in such a cruel sorcery, so he immediately ordered to massacre the city, leaving no one behind.

Anyone who believes in the Siam religion will accept the holy fire ceremony when they are born, and use a red-hot iron to brand a holy fire symbol on the vest.Therefore, after the Great Zhou broke the Golden City, anyone who saw the holy fire brand on their vests would be shot to death.As a result, Jincheng, the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, was almost wiped out.

Not only that, but after Li Shu destroyed Gaochang, he returned to Beijing and returned to his command. He specially advised the first emperor that the Siam religion was the only one, and that living people were used as sacrifices.Fortunately, apart from Gaochang, there are very few people who believe in this religion in the rest of the Great Zhou. They have only caught a few sporadically. Of course, once they are caught, they will be executed immediately.

At this moment, Tang Jingxiao stared at Dan Fengbai, recalling the screams of those who were burned alive in Jincheng, and repeated: "Because they deserve to die!"

"Hmph, whether we deserve to die or not is not your turn to judge, but the holy fire will judge." Dan Fengbai said.

Tang Jingxiao's eyes were bloodshot: "You don't even spare women, children and children. How can you feel at ease when you see them being burned alive? How can the heavens tolerate you!"

"Our torch ceremony, if the enemy is captured, it is what they deserve. If it is our own, the sacrifices are all voluntary, even children, and parents are voluntary. What are you doing? What's the matter? When the city was massacred, there were many old and weak women and children in the city, and you still killed them." Dan Fengbai said tit for tat.

"If you believe in this sorcery, you won't be able to stay! We kill people with a single knife, and we will never burn people alive to make them endure such pain!"

Dan Fengbai sneered and said: "Life is a matter of life and death. We are free to die how we want. Besides, after Gaochang destroyed the country, you searched everywhere for people who believed in Siamism. Aren't people innocent?"

"Hmph, people who believe in sorcery, as long as they find an opportunity, they will definitely repeat the old tricks. Cutting weeds requires rooting out!" Tang Jingxiao said.

"You don't give people a way to survive!" Dan Fengbai suddenly screamed hoarsely, "What's wrong with me! I was only a five or six-year-old girl when the city was massacred, and I didn't understand anything! My whole family died in the massacre. Why did I escape from a narrow escape, and I will live in the shadows for the rest of my life!"

Tang Jingxiao now understood that Dan Fengbai was a survivor of the Battle of Jincheng, but she was branded with the holy fire seal when she was born. After Gaochang destroyed the country, it was found that those who had this seal would be sentenced to death immediately.

"Haha..." Dan Fengbai had an expression of crying and laughing at this time, "I have been hiding all my life. I am a weak girl who has been a beggar and picked up rags. When I was eight or nine years old, I was singing on the side of the road to earn money. I was spotted by Yunshangfang, and I thought I could live a good life. I worked hard to learn poetry, practice calligraphy, and practice singing and dancing. I am not as talented as you girls from the Central Plains who can sing and dance, but I am willing to let it go! My song and dance drama is unmatched, hahahahaha, you can’t write the poems I wrote, hahahaha! Look, this time I almost won the number one prize in the oiran, hahahaha..." Dan Fengbai said In the end, her face was covered with tears, but her tone was full of sarcasm and hatred.

"I know." Wen Tao said, "I know the reason why you killed Mrs. Cuiyun. She saw your holy fire seal."

Dan Fengbai laughed at himself and said: "I have been hiding for so long, thinking that no one will find out again, I am a young woman, except for marrying in the future, no one will see my holy fire seal, so I can live a good life ... I never let the maid serve me close, but the owner insisted that I bring someone to take care of me, so I brought Aqing. She was simple-minded and never asked me much. That day I took a bath in the room, I asked Ah Qing to bring me some hot water, and just for a short while, that short-sighted Dongfang Huakui lady pushed the door open and came in at that moment. Hahahahaha, this is probably fate... "

Wen Tao sighed and said, "Then you can tell Mrs. Cuiyun well and let her keep the secret for you."

"Master Wen Dao, I'm afraid you're out of your mind!" Dan Fengbai said, "Putting this kind of life-and-death handle in other people's hands? You haven't seen how they deal with the Siamists, have you? If you haven't seen But, you can ask him!" Dan Fengbai pointed at Tang Jingxiao.

Tang Jingxiao said calmly: "There is no one else. Once found, he will be executed immediately."

"Hmph, behead immediately, listen!" Dan Fengbai sternly said, "I have already died once, I crawled out of the dead, I just want to live! They are not lucky, no Let me live, then I have no choice but to kill them!"

"Dan Fengbai, I don't comment on anything else, I just want to ask, do you have any regrets in killing Ah Qing?" Tang Wuyi looked at her.
