Volume 19: Black and White Dislocation (44)
E Lianqing slaughtered people from a village.
When the news reached E Jingbai's side, he vaguely felt that it was all over.
His sister, his younger brother, his family, his official career, everything was over.
After hearing the sound of the wind, E Mingqiu knelt in front of E Jingbai without saying a word.
"Brother, save Lianqing!" E Mingqiu, who had always been so arrogant, lowered his head and knocked on the ground with his head. The sound of "bang bang bang" made people's hearts break.
E Jingbai sat on the chair with a pale face, and he asked softly: "Mingqiu, how can I save me?"
E Mingqiu shook her head stubbornly, "I beg you, brother, to save her!"
E Jingbai almost burst into tears, "What should I use to save?"
"Your official position, your future, your life, and even my life!" E Mingqiu said sadly, "As long as you can save her, you can do anything! Brother, that's Lianqing, that's our sister!"
E Jingbai held back his sobs and murmured: "I can't save it... no one can save it..."
E Mingqiu knelt down and climbed up to him, grabbed the corner of his sleeve, and tears flowed down. When have he ever cried like this since he became sensible? Even if he knew that he had a transcendent relationship with his own sister, he had never shown weakness like this.
"I beg you to save her. That's our Lianqing. Have you forgotten? My parents said we should take good care of her and take care of her for the rest of our lives..." At this moment, E Mingqiu almost became humble in the dust, his voice was dull and he was about to break, "I beg you, I beg you..."
E Jingbai closed his eyes, and tears finally fell, "I also want to beg God to let me die on her behalf."
E Mingqiu's hand relaxed and fell to the ground, as if his desperate heart had broken on the ground.
Before E Jingbai could arrange everything, E Mingqiu escaped from the place where E Jingbai was confined. Perhaps he had already expected what E Jingbai would do.
Before E Jingbai could prepare for resigning, he felt that E Mingqiu would cause a big disaster, so he immediately sent two teams to arrest E Lianqing, who committed the heinous crimes, while trying to find a way to catch E Mingqiu before he caused the disaster.
In fact, E Jingbai wanted to grab E Lianqing into his own hands first, and judge through his hands, so that everything would be final and the dust would be settled.
Then E Lianqing's final outcome would not be too bad. After all, if the public anger is aroused, it is the most terrifying thing.
Unfortunately, everything in the world is not satisfactory. The more you are afraid of, the more you will encounter something.
In less than a day, E Jingbai learned that E Lianqing was caught by the angry villagers next door in the village where he was massacred.
Moreover, E Lianqing took the initiative to surrender.
At that moment, E Jingbai was able to predict the ending of E Lianqing - she would embark on a different path with Lian Xuejun, and would even be even more miserable.
When E Jingbai arrived at the slaughtered village, he saw E Lianqing who was dying.
The villages and towns in that era were very closed, almost every family was connected to their in-laws and friendship. The tragic deaths of relatives and friends made the villagers in the neighboring villages angry. After capturing E Lianqing, they directly imposed punishments on her. In addition, she had become a demon, and no one would have a pity because of her pity and tragedy.
The village was dead and surrounded by crying and angry villagers. They surrounded them and took turns to punish the monsters that caused all the tragedies.
When E Jingbai was escorted into the crowd by the constables, he saw E Lianqing nakedly tied to the stolen rack, his limbs were nailed with a thick iron pestle, his neck was tied with a collar, every inch of his bones had broken marks, and every skin was scratched to pieces. His originally black hair was torn off, and even his bloody scalp was exposed. The appearance on his face had long been completely destroyed, and it looked incredibly terrible...
They asked E Lianqing to tie him up there like this, and was sunburned in the noon sun, with all kinds of rotten eggs and feces piled up on his body, and blood flowed down his body, and large pools of blood accumulated on the ground.
If she were an ordinary person, she would have been tortured to death long ago, but now she is a zombie, a zombie like Lian Xuejun, so E Lianqing cannot die and can only be struggling by the villagers between life and death.
E Lianqing's eyes were numb, and she had already lost all the fighting spirit to survive.
At that moment, E Jingbai's eyes turned red, his hands and feet trembled, and he almost collapsed and fell to the ground.
This is his sister, the extremely smart woman Zhuge, who was pampered by the two brothers, how could E Lianqing, who "slim shadows shine in the spring water, you must pity me and I swear to you", fall to this point?!
E Jingbai almost wanted to scold everyone, almost wanted to pounce on her and hug her tightly, blocking all the harm from this world for her, but she wished she could die...
But E Jingbai knew that he couldn't, and he couldn't do it.
The sins E Lianqing committed were too great, so great that there was almost no room for atonement.
More than 200 lives were filled, and even three lives of the E family could not fill this huge hole.
A woman and a child who went home to visit her relatives rushed to E Jingbai's feet and shouted in a shrill voice: "Sir, you want to make the decision for me. All seven of my family were killed by this monster! They all... are gone!!"
The old man was about to walk up to him with a crutch, and knelt down with a "thump" and begged in tears: "Sir, you must be fair for my poor children and grandchildren! They died so miserably, so unjust..."
There is still a child who has escaped the disaster in the ancestral hall. He is crying heart-wrenchingly, shouting words like "Dad" and "My mother", which makes the listeners feel sad and cry.
E Jingbai stood in the sad and sad village, and the dead ghosts seemed unwilling to leave, rushed towards him from all directions, grabbed him and pulled him down, shouting for justice, and calling for my life.
E Jingbai was almost driven crazy by such a scene.
E Lianqing, who was nailed to the stolen rack, looked at him from afar, with his eyes numb, as if he was dead.
At this moment, E Jingbai understood what it means to break his heart. The pain of tearing inch by inch almost made him vomit and bleeding.
The villagers were too excited to comfort them. They roared and cursed, discussing to slap E Lianqing on seven days and seven nights, torture her for seven days and seven nights, and ask her to kowtow to the people in a dead village...
After all, they had tortured E Lianqing for a day and a night, and knew that she was a monster, and would not die or resist. Their grief and anger needed a point to vent, so E Lianqing was the best medium.
But E Jingbai cannot let such a thing happen.
He could not watch his sister survive and die, and was insulted and tortured by others... although this was her sin and the price she should pay.
E Jingbai forced himself to cool down and forced himself to make his heart. He asked the constable to isolate the villagers from E Lianqing and force the matter to take over as his parents.
He had never spoken so well in his life, saying that the yamen had known about this village tragedy. In order not to allow the demon to continue to harm the world, he had to immediately hold a fire and burn it to death. Otherwise, when the demon accumulates strength, she would break free and commit a shocking bloody case again.
E Jingbai has always been fair and self-reliant, and enjoys the name of the blue sky in local prefectures and counties. His words made the people particularly convinced.
Moreover, when she was caught, she was covered in blood, as if she was crazy. No one could recognize her as the resourceful female adviser beside E Jingbai. She was as beautiful as a girl waiting to marry. The villagers who took Lian Xuejun and E Lianqing to inform her were all dead. No one would know the identities of E Lianqing and Lian Xuejun, nor would anyone know what E Lianqing did.
So E Jingbai decided to... give E Lianqing a happy way to die, so that she would not continue to suffer humiliation in the world.
With E Jingbai's order, firewood was piled up under the stolen rack, and buckets of oil were poured down. The villagers wanted to burn the terrible monster to death with a little fire.
The constable stopped the villagers far away. E Jingbai held up the torch and walked to E Lianqing in person.
As a new zombie, E Lianqing's skin is too weak, and it is cracked inch by inch in the sun, and even a good piece of meat cannot be found.
E Jingbai used the cover of his body to touch her cheek with his hands trembling, and his voice was filled with sobs, "Liangqing... My good Lianqing... I'm sorry for you... I'm sorry..."
E Lianqing's gray eyes finally showed a sense of spirit. She stammered her lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother... I'm... wrong... I finally... I know... Xue Jun's sadness..."
E Jingbai's heart was broken, but he could only hold up straight and not let anyone notice something strange.
He didn't want even his sister's grave to be trampled and despised after death, so today this demon must not die as E Lianqing. She can only be a monster that slaughtered the village.
E Jingbai's hands were shaking, and the fire was shaking, "I'm so sorry for you... Brother will bury you and Xue Jun together... You... can't live in the same bed, die in the end... you can't be the same cave."
When E Lianqing heard this, she smiled softly. Her appearance became so ugly, but at this moment, she was still the smart and beautiful girl.
She was already very weak and could only say intermittently: "Don't blame yourself... Help me tell me... don't take revenge... I... have a sin... deserve it..."
E Jingbai nodded with tears in his eyes, "You can take a step first... Brothers will protect you and Xue Jun, you... OK."
E Lianqing smiled again, "Okay, in the next life... let's be... brother and sister..."
E Jingbai retreated, his heart became ruthless, and let go of his hand. The torch fell on the firewood. With a loud bang, the flames ignited high, as if they were about to swallow and burn the sky.
E Lianqing looked at him in the fire and slowly closed her eyes.
"elder brother……"
E Jingbai was so heartbroken that he could not hold back and fell to the so-called demon, crying with tears.
That day, the villagers said that E Jingbai was a good official, and shed tears for the hundreds of people in the village.
But E Jingbai understood that he was crying his own sister, and his half of his life that had arisen and ended in a tragedy for some reason.
This is the first time in his life that he is favored by personal gain, and does not judge a criminal on the principle that he has to pay the same price if he does something wrong.
But his favoritism was to burn his own sister to death.
personally.
Burn to death.
