Chapter 52: Civil Rebellion

The first stop was Shuixiu Village. Jiang Chengwang accompanied his humble smile and said with a archer: "Sir, let's spend another two days, Rong Xiaoren will think of a solution."

The captain said with a cold face: "You said this ten days ago, and now you still say this. You eat rice and noodles every day, but you let the nobles in the imperial city and the soldiers in the border eat wind and rain. How can you make such a reason? Search!"

With a command, the officers and soldiers immediately scattered, broke into the civilian households, and plundered in a large number of yelling and cries.

Jiang Chengwang begged with a bitter face: "Sir, you can't do this. Sir, leave us a way out!"

He begged and knelt down. The captain raised his leg and kicked Jiang Chengwang out, angrily shouting: "If you want to live, do we not want to live? Without us, how can you live with peace of mind?"

"I'll fight with you!" Zhao Daxiang and a soldier came out of the room in a fight and shouted, "Even growing grains must be taken away! Are you still humans? Without growing grains, what will you plant next year? Even the plantings are gone. Let the nobles in the imperial city eat shit! Such an imperial court is better off!"

The captain's eyes were cold and he shouted: "Take it!"

Several officers and soldiers rushed up to fight Zhao Daxiang, which made Zhao Daxiang cry and scream. After the fight, the two officers and soldiers pulled Zhao Daxiang to the front of the captain, and then each of them twisted his arms to pick up Zhao Daxiang.

The captain said coldly: "The bold and unruly people, deliberately plot against others, and the evil words confuse the public. The crime is extremely evil, and it is chopped down!"

"Son! My son!" Zhao Daxiang's mother came out of the house, staggered out with a cane, and cried, "Sir, please spare me! Sir!"

The captain was indifferent. The officers and soldiers who were struggling by Zhao Daxiang pulled out their horizontal swords and cut off Zhao Daxiang's head with one knife.

"Ah!" Zhao Daxiang's mother screamed and threw herself to the ground, and there was no movement.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Officers and soldiers kill people at will, and we are not even as good as pigs and dogs!"

The captain sternly asked, "Who is shouting?"

No one responded, and the captain said sternly: "Shuixiu Village encircled the rebellious bandits, and the crime was not to be forgiven! All the men above the wheel were cut off!"

The officers and soldiers drew their swords toward the villagers, and screams came one after another in an instant. Suddenly, several officers and soldiers stopped and their bodies began to twitch.

Jing Xiuli grabbed a horizontal knife and killed four officers and soldiers in a row.

The captain was startled and quickly pulled out the horizontal sword, but felt a flash of light in front of him. Then he felt a breath passing through his body, and then his hands and feet were disobedient, and he watched Jing Xiuli raise the sword and slash at him.

The captain fell down, and the officers and soldiers surrounded Jingxiuli. The phantoms swayed around Jingxiuli's body, and raised a horizontal knife and shouted: "The Spirit Emperor is in power, and the disaster has come from heaven! People cannot feed their stomachs and do not cover their bodies. They are worse than pigs and dogs. Let's go against me!"

The phantom suddenly dispersed, and all the officers and soldiers around began to twitch.

Jing Xiuli shouted again: "Kill these officers and soldiers, let's contact other villages and go into the county town together!"

The first person to pick up the knife was a young woman named Chen Qiulu. She was only three months old when her husband was hacked to death by the officers and soldiers.

"Ah..." Chen Qiulu screamed and slashed at the officers and soldiers. After the officers and soldiers fell to the ground, Chen Qiulu still held the knife in both hands, and slashed at the officers and soldiers desperately, crying: "Give me back to my husband! Give me back to my husband..."

A young man picked up a horizontal knife, held it with both hands, stabbed it into a soldier's stomach, and then looked at the fallen soldier and shouted: "Give me back my father!"

The villagers picked up the knives one after another. They didn't grab the horizontal knives, so they went home to get the kitchen knife and the hatchet...

Chu Qin was closing her eyes and meditating. After the battle of Rizhaoguan, he began to think about the issue of the beast spirit again. In fact, he had seen records of the beast spirit in classics in his early years, but the beast spirit is much more difficult than the soul spirit. It not only requires higher spiritual power, but also requires some kind of talent.

It is unclear what kind of talent it is, because it is not written in the classics, but Chu Qin understands that he probably does not have this talent, because he has never liked animals since he was a child, and even his domestic yard dogs are not in dealing with him, and they scream hard as soon as they see him.

The disaster has not passed, and everyone is busy with disaster relief, so Chu Qin did not mention the issue of the beast spirit, so she thought about it first, hoping to wait for the disaster year to pass, and then talk to the high priest to discuss it, listen to what the high priest has, or how to test existing people, and discover this talent.

Dongfang Xuan walked in, bowed and called softly: "Master Chu."

Chu Qin opened her eyes and Dongfang Xuan said, "The High Priest asked you to come over, there is something urgent."

Chu Qin stood up and said, "Let's go."

Dongfang Xuan led Chu Qin to the Soul-Yuan Division. Chu Qin felt something was different. If she met in the Soul-Yuan Division, it would be a military and national event.

After entering the Soul-Rewarding Division, seeing the three priests were all there, Chu Qin bowed and was about to salute, the high priest said, "No need to be polite, look at this."

From the priest handed a file to Chu Qin, Chu Qin took it and spread it. As she looked, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Lingtao County is less than 400 miles away from the capital. The food for disaster relief should have been paid off long ago. How could it still cause changes in the people? Moreover, some people can control their souls among the rioters. This is probably the rebel spirit master who sneaked in and provoked changes in the people to cause changes in the civil unrest."

The high priest said, "You can see thoroughly, what do you think should be dealt with?"

Chu Qin replied: "If there is no people, there is no food. You must not kill them in large numbers. You must first find out the causes of civil unrest. Only pursue the evil and followers will not investigate."

The high priest said, "Go, the Military and Political Department has allocated two thousand elite soldiers from the escort battalion and is on standby in the suburbs of the city. You immediately go to Lingtao County to properly handle the matter."

Chu Qin asked, "What is the meaning of the superiority?"

The high priest said, "Take your actions cheaply, take action first and then report."

Chu Qin bowed and replied, "Yes."

Chu Qin returned to her residence, said to Shangguan He, and then called Gu Du away, without taking Shangguan He or Jin Lan.

The two left the palace and rode on horses and ran to the suburbs of the city.

Jing Xiu Li gathered people at the city. After all, these people who work in farming are not soldiers, and they are okay to cut and kill face to face, because the soul army collided with the officers and soldiers, but it was impossible to attack the city. They were not close to each other and were shot to death by arrows on the city.

He was not afraid of these people's death when he was respectful and cultivating. For him, whether it was officers and soldiers or the people, the more deaths the better. If one officer or soldier dies, the less combat power of the Ling Kingdom will be. If one more civilian dies, the less food of the Ling Kingdom will be.

However, when the rioters saw the person in front of them being shot to death, they retreated in panic. If he forced to attack the city, it would only backfire. It would be better to wait for reinforcements to arrive and the officers and soldiers to open the city to cover the death.

He endured for more than 20 years and was waiting for the natural disaster and man-made disasters! Half a month ago, he sneaked into the county town and burned a fire of disaster relief grain allocated by the court. He knew that the county magistrate Huang Enshou did not dare to report it, and he would only levy heavy taxes to make up for the number of disaster relief.

This is the time! The place is right! People are not in harmony.
