Zhu Nao

rich county.

Jing Zhe walked quickly into the general's tent, only to see Zhu Nao, Xie Wuji and several officers discussing matters around the sand table.Xie Wuji stood side by side with Zhu Nao, Xie Wuji pointed on the sand table, Zhu Nao asked something in a low voice, Xie Wuji didn't seem to hear clearly, so he turned his head and put his ear on it.

The two exchanged a few words, and Xie Wuji's originally dignified frown slowly relaxed.I don't know what kind of secret the two of them were talking about, but regardless of the many people in the room, they just whispered into their ears, and there was a bit of a smile on their faces as they talked.

At this time, Zhu Nao saw Jing Zhe coming in, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, thank you General." Jing Zhe bowed to the two of them first, and reported, "I just received the news that dozens of people in Yaokou Village, Liujiazhuang, Xitou Village and many other places were suddenly murdered by cultists and died. The bodies were then set on fire."

Everyone was shocked.Kill dozens of people at once?Still burning the corpse?What does the cult want to do?

Zhu Nao asked, "Who are all the dead?"

Jing Zhe said: "According to the investigation, the people who were killed had all heard the books told by our storytellers and watched the plays sung by our troupe. Now there are rumors among the people that they have listened to our books and read our plays." If you don’t play, you will be cursed by Henry Zhang and burned to death by the Seventh Karma.”

——This rumor was of course released by the cultists.Shi An felt that killing people directly was a bit too straightforward, and in the end they still used the cult's usual tricks of pretending to be ghosts.Burning corpses after killing people, in the name of false curses, used to deter the people.

When the officers in the room heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

Someone was furious and said indignantly: "Those cultists dare to use such despicable methods. They are really shameless and extremely hateful!"

Another person said coldly: "They have already done even more shameless things, so what are these things?"

"If you want to talk about curses, the people who should be cursed the most are themselves!"

Even Xie Wuji frowned immediately.The cult can't stop them from talking and singing, so they start with the common people?Want to use this method to threaten the people to stop listening to their plays?

He was naturally angry in his heart, but he suddenly thought: If inciting words are fire, before Jun Nao's arrival, the cultists had been lighting fires everywhere, and he followed behind to put out the fire.Unexpectedly, now that the situation is reversed, it turns out that they are lighting fires everywhere, but the cultists are trying their best to stop the fire.

Presumably those cult members didn't even think that they would have today...

Zhu Nao was not in a hurry, and only said to Jing Zhe: "Where are the people in some places who have been murdered, let the spies report them after they have checked them all."

Jing Zhe said: "Yes."

Zhu Nao said: "Put the weasels we caught in large numbers in places where people were killed."

Jing Zhe was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Yes!"

The cult's use of this method just gave them the opportunity to confirm that Henry Zhang is a weasel spirit.Henry Zhang has always claimed to be a god who came down to earth before, but which god would have such a small mind, and others would kill and burn corpses after hearing a few bad words from him?Only ghosts and goblins can do such a thing!

Zhu Nao said again: "In addition, inform the soldiers of Jifeng Camp to stand by. After the investigation of which villages and counties have killed civilians, let them go there immediately and arrest all the main managers of the cult there."

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Zhu Nao.

During this period of time, they caught many cult members by luring snakes out of their holes, and after tortured those cult members, they obtained a lot of information.At present, they have basically grasped the number of cult members in all counties and villages near Yanzhou.But they didn't immediately go to arrest people.First, there are too many cult members, and it is almost impossible to catch them all. If only a part of them are caught, how to catch them is also a problem.Secondly, in some places, all villages have participated in cults. If they are all arrested, what will be done after they are arrested?Locking them up consumes a lot of food, and if they are killed, it will damage the vitality of the people too much. There will be a lot of fertile land vacant, and many businesses will be short of people.Therefore, now is not the best time to do it.

Someone asked: "Does Zhu Fuyin intend to bring those murderers to justice and seek justice for the murdered people?"

Before Zhu Nao could answer, Xie Wuji already understood.He looked at Junao, and asked in a low voice: "You don't want to seek justice, do you? Are you planning to take this opportunity to deter all cultists?"

Zhu Nao suddenly laughed: "General Xie really understands me."

Everyone: "..."

Junao's purpose is indeed to deter those cultists.Cults can frighten the people through brutal means, so why do they use their own methods to punish their own bodies?In the past, it was because they didn't know which people were cult members, but now they have the information. Although they are not capable of arresting all of them, it is still very easy to arrest a few.

Some people still don't understand: "Master Zhu, those cult members have long gone mad, disregarding life and death. Even if we kill them all, it may not be able to deter others."

For brainwashed cultists, maybe they feel that dying for a cult is a worthy death.

Facing this question, Zhu Nao smiled and said nothing.

Xie Wuji understood again, and said: "They are not afraid of death, but they must have something to fear. Arrest those people, cut off a leg, and cut off an arm, males will be castrated, and females will have their noses and ears cut off. Could it be Are you afraid you won't be able to shock them?"

Everyone: "..."

Cut off hands and feet, but also castrated?This, this, compared with this, death is simply too easy!

Some people can't help but think this is too cruel, but when you think about what the cult has done... what kind of cruelty is this?This is what it deserves!It's all too cheap for them!

Some people secretly took a look at Xie Wuji with concern, thinking whether to be ruthless or Xie Wuji ruthless, they can even think of this way.But speaking of it, it was Zhu Nao who started it... This Zhu Fu Yin, who looks gentle and elegant on weekdays, is actually a black belly...

In short, no one spoke out against it, and most people expressed their support.Zhu Nao gave some instructions to Jing Zhe, and Jing Zhe went out to make arrangements.

……

……

A few days later, Yanzhou.

"What???" Shi An suddenly jumped up from the chair, grabbed the hem of the subordinate who reported the news to him, and said incredulously, "Say it again???"

The subordinate wanted to cry without tears, and flinched and said: "Shizhangqi, they, they cut off all the flag bearers in Liujiazhuang, Xitou Village, and Yaokou Village, and returned them to... eunuchs." It's..." Carrying the flag is a relatively low-level official in the Xuantian Sect, and it is extended to almost every village, responsible for the affairs of the church in each village.

Shi An: "!!!"

He couldn't help clamping his legs and said in shock: "Who are they??? Who cut off our people???"

"Yes, Zhu, Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji..."

"It's really them? Are you sure?!"

"Indeed, I'm sure... who else would it be if it weren't for them..." The subordinates were almost startled to cry by Shi An's distorted face, "They also released the news that they had the list of all the people I taught, who would dare to be the leader of the sect in the future?" Anyone who does things will end up in the same way..."

Shi An took a deep breath, only to feel "dangdang" in his ears, as if someone was knocking on his ear with a gong, which made him dizzy for a while, and he couldn't help but fell back on the chair.

That subordinate also doesn't know how to read facial expressions, so he should have shut up at this time, but he may think that it's better to finish the bad news together, so as not to get angry twice.So he continued stutteringly: "Shi, Shi Zhangqi, many of us have been frightened by them. The believers in Lijia Village and Lutouping are not willing to hunt and kill those who have heard of the Shu opera. I'm afraid that my hands and feet will be chopped off and... that thing. There is also a group of people in Wang'erba who have been out of contact for some reason since yesterday, like, like they fled back home."

Shi An: "...!!!"

Now it's not just the ringing in the ears, he didn't catch his breath and almost fainted.Fortunately, his subordinates saw that something was wrong, and among those who pinched him, they quickly pinched him back.

Shi An lay weakly on the chair, his heart was turbulent, but he seemed to have drunk a lump of paste, and he couldn't even utter a word.

Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji sent someone to torture his subordinates? ?This was actually done by Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji? ? ?

You must know that there have been many government and local forces who have dealt with Xuantian Sect, and many of these forces are ruthless.In order to suppress Xuantian Sect, as long as a believer is caught, he will be killed without mercy.But no matter what methods they used to suppress it, they couldn't stop the momentum of Xuantian Sect from growing.

But Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji, they are no longer cruel, they are insane! !The flag bearers of the Xuantian Sect led people to kill the common people who were listening to the opera, and they chopped the flag bearers into half-human pigs. Now, who is the cult! !

The most frightening thing was that after they resorted to this cruel method, they announced that they already knew the list of all the believers in the vicinity, which made all the believers' scalps tingle!Shi An knew very well that most of the believers who were captured by them before were a group of idiots, and there must be many people who could not withstand the forced confession and said everything they should and should not say.Therefore, it is very likely that Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji have already got the list!

Many followers of Xuantian Sect are really not afraid of death. They believe that Henry Zhang will bless them. Even if the body dies, Yuanshen will fly to become a god.But Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji did not kill people, making life worse than death.Life is worse than death is far more terrifying than death, no one can not be afraid, no one can not be shaken...

Before he knew it, Shi An was already in a cold sweat.His mind was in turmoil, but someone kept calling him to keep him quiet.

"Zhang Qi, Shi Zhang Qi, what should we do now?"

Shi An raised his head to look at the annoying face in front of him, wishing he could punch him in the face.what to do?He still wants to know what to do!

He said impatiently: "What else can I do? Just follow the previous method!"

In the past, when the government and the army were suppressing Xuantian Sect, they would immediately send people to incite people among the believers, saying that the officers and soldiers were heretics who were bewitched by demons, and they persecuted Yunyun because they hated the believers for gaining enlightenment.These rhetoric can not only bluff believers, but can even fool many ignorant ordinary people.Now it's just a matter of continuing to do it.

Shi An said again: "Immediately send someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Shijun to report the current situation."

The subordinate gave the order and went out immediately.

Shi An took a deep breath and went out aggressively.For the current situation, Jiao Bie, who advised him, must also be held responsible!He's going to find Jiao Bie to settle the score.

……

……

Yaokou Village.

Beside the ancient well, a dozen villagers formed a circle.A straw mat was spread in the middle of the crowd, and on the straw mat was a... at first glance, it was a corpse, and it wasn't a whole corpse, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a living person with incomplete limbs.He still had breath, but it was very weak.

Two women threw themselves beside them and cried.Depending on the age, one of the women was the mother of the half-dead man, and the other was the wife of the half-dead man.

"Didn't it mean that as long as we believe in religion devoutly and give all our money to the master, the master will bless us? Ah?! Is this the blessing of the master? There is no reason for heaven!" The mother of the half-dead man wailed. , while his wife secretly wiped tears aside.

The expressions of the people around were all different, and they all had expressions of intolerance.

"In the past year, their sayings have changed again and again! At first they said that as long as you believe in religion, you can be invulnerable to swords and guns and live forever. Later, they said that there are too many people who believe in religion, and the master's divine power is limited, so he can only bless the most pious and consecrated people. The person with the most money! Later, he said that as long as he dies for his master, he can ascend to immortality after death. My son is really deceived by lard, why did he believe those nonsense? Now he has ended up like this, God! !"

Surrounding the half-dead man were all the believers in Yaokou Village.Among them, some were devout, some were dubious.Now, it is full of doubts and anger.

It's not that they haven't heard of doubts about Xuantian Sect before, but one or two of them are blind and don't believe it.Until now, they have seen with their own eyes what the flag-carrying situation with them has fallen into, and they have finally been enlightened.

"Fuck the gods, I think the Shu people are right, he is really a weasel who only harms people!"

"They defrauded us of our life spans, and also defrauded us of the wealth we have accumulated for many years. We must let them return the money!"

"Return it! It must be returned!"

"We're going to find them now!"

"No, we don't have enough people here. Let's go to Liujiazhuang, to Xitou Village, and gather all the deceived people together, and let's go to settle accounts with that weasel spirit and his accomplices!"

Everyone echoed one after another, and their emotions became more and more high.These people are all impulsive people. When they first went south, they had the momentum not to hit the south wall and not turn back; now they turned around and went north, and they had to break through the north wall.

In a blink of an eye, people have reached an agreement and they will do what they say.Before it was too late, the crowded team ran towards the village not far away...
