Chapter 1129 Doomsday
"General, these are the soldiers and generals who destroyed Jingbian Temple, a total of twelve people, including Dong Rui, the guard Wang Hu, and others!" An imperial guard leader pointed to a group of generals and soldiers in armored kneeling on the ground.
"Don't follow the military order and leave the camp privately, causing dozens of casualties and injuries. According to the rules, behead them and behead them and show them to the public!" Wang Ben waved his hand without looking at it.
"Here~~" A group of imperial guards rushed forward to drag twelve people to the open space next to them.
"Great General~"
"General, we are on the order of the Major General, please bypass our lives..."
"Major General save me~"
A group of generals instantly disappeared and struggled to cry and beg for mercy.
"Slay~~" As the big hand raised by an imperial guard leader fell, it fell in front of the two armies with sharp swords.
Twelve heads rolled out, and the blood was sprayed out several feet like a fountain, only pouring a large area of the already muddy snow. Gululu's head, which had calmed down after rolling in the mud, was almost still with an incredible look of panic, and his eyes widened with a wide open.
An extremely violent smell of blood dissipated in the cold wind, and tens of thousands of people couldn't help but tremble violently at the scene.
The two sides had fought for nearly an hour, and the scenes of thousands of casualties were even more bloody than this, but no one was afraid. But at the moment, the heads that were chopped down at the same time, this powerful and helpless visual impact made everyone feel that their souls were trembling, and their terrified souls were about to leave their bodies.
"Report, General, the execution is completed, the twelve heads are beheaded, and none of them survive!" The leader of the imperial guards reported loudly.
"With knowing that the soldiers were causing trouble, Zhao Bao, the commander of Yanmen Pass, not only did not stop the Marquis of Wucheng, but instead helped the evildoers, but instead commanded the soldiers to arrest the civilians. Afterwards, he covered up the matter and did not report it to the court. He discussed it with the bandits. Moreover, he also lost Chengguan and escaped without permission. The death penalty was unforgivable, so he was dragged down and beheaded~"
"Here~~" A group of imperial guards rushed over again to General Lu Rong and Zhao Bao and held it down to the side.
"General, this matter doesn't matter to me. It's because the Marquis of Wucheng insisted on doing this..." Lu Rong shouted in horror.
"General, I am the commander named by Your Majesty. You have no right to kill me. I want to go to Xianyang to see Your Majesty..." Zhao Bao struggled and yelled.
"Chun~" Wang Ben roared angrily, not giving the two people a chance to explain.
"Swish~swish~"
Two more shiny sword lights flashed by, and the two heads, whose mouths were still opening and closing, rolled out, and the blood was spraying on the muddy ice and snow, emitting heat.
"Plop~"
"Plop~"
As the two headless corpses fell down, the entire Yanmen Pass fell into a dead silence like hell.
Whether it was the civilians who resisted, the pawns of the Qin Dynasty, whether it was Li Xiong or Wang Li, they all felt their souls falling into the endless ice cave, trembling one by one.
A fourth-rank guard and a fourth-level right Gengduwei, who was a martial artist, turned into two cold corpses in the blink of an eye, and his head was cut off without interrogation and the emperor's approval.
This situation was absolutely impossible in the past. Even if it was a crime of treason, these civil and military officials who had obtained great merits and titles needed to be arrested and investigated by Xianyang, and the emperor would then decide life and death. But at present, Wang Ben directly ordered the beheading, and there was no drag on it.
"Guangwu County Magistrate Fu Rui, Yanmen Pass is under your rule. Such a big incident happened and he did not report it. He also concealed the matter with Lu Rong and others. At present, bandits gathered to cause trouble. If you don't control the overall situation in the county, you will escape. It is difficult to forgive the crime of living, and you will be punished by death. You will be dragged down and beheaded!"
"Here~~" The two imperial guards dragged Fu Rui to a pile of corpses like a dead dog. At this time, Fu Rui's soul, who was completely frightened, left his body, and his body shook into a ball of mud like a sieve.
"Slay~~" With the command of the leader of the imperial guards, the sword light fell, and another trembling head rose into the air, and a burst of blood hit the scarlet snow.
With a bang, as Fu Rui's head fell to the ground, he could only hear the whimpering wind in front of Yanmen Pass, and there was only endless coldness left.
"Sad son..." Wang Ben finally fell on Wang Li. Facing his father's blood-red eyes, Wang Li slapped a big move, and his face instantly twisted into a ball in horror.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would not have thought that things would develop to this point today. My father came to Yanmen from all over the place, not only not only to help him, but to be prepared to kill him.
"Dad, it's the child who is unfilial and has caused you to suffer. Today, I won't beg for mercy if I want to kill or cut my child, but I'd better treat Yuan'er and Wei'er!" Wang Li knelt down with a pale face and kowtowed to Wang Ben.
"General, let the Major General be spared. We have not taken good care of the Major General. We are willing to commit suicide for the Major General!" A group of guards from the royal palace, including the three kings, four kings, five kings, seven kings, and a group of guards from the palace, kowtowed.
"General, please spare the life of the Major General!" Thousands of horsemen also knelt down.
"It's easy to spare him, but how innocent are the lives of dozens of people in Yanmen? My Great Qin State is very strict. How can I marquis take my son to commit an offense? Come and drag Wang Li down..."
"General..." Li Xiong, who had been standing next to him, woke up and knelt down on one knee with a thud. "General, we are not rebellious, nor are we trying to rebel. It was because Yanmen Pass Shou and Guangwu County Magistrate and others were unwilling to seek justice for us, which eventually led to the disaster today. Now the general killed and destroyed the temple and killed Guanshou and County Magistrate. The people who were killed and injured in Yanmen were revenged. We are willing to beg for crimes and punish the law. We also asked the general to bypass the Marquis of Wucheng to live!"
"Please spare Marquis Wucheng..."
Many people involved in the riots knelt in the snow and spoke.
As the matter developed to the current situation, it can be said that the anger in their hearts had been resolved. More than ten heads could be seen that Wang Ben's sincerity was indeed here to quell the wrongs for the people of Zhao, and there was no slightest drag on the slightest, and there was no false chance to defend these people to beg for mercy and directly chopped his head.
If Wang Ben was a little gentler, he would never kill anyone, but would use various excuses to capture everyone back to Xianyang for trial. When he arrived in Xianyang, he would never see the life or death of these people again, and he might be released soon. After all, there have been things that officials have protected each other since ancient times.
But obviously they all guessed wrongly. Wang Ben's style was as refreshing as his war. He brushed the rows of headless corpses in one go and completely calmed everyone from their soul to their bodies.
If Wang Ben killed Wang Li at this time, although the scars in their hearts were completely covered up, the consequences could be said that no one could bear them. At present, civilians involved in the riots would definitely be killed in the future. The lives of a Wuhou and a general would definitely make the emperor's anger burn the entire Zhao State's old land. There are definitely more than hundreds of households in the three tribes of Yi. The princes of the six countries have never been ruthless in killing people. Although the First Emperor was not bloody, it was just that he had not touched his negative scales. There were not many high-ranking officials in the court of the three tribes of the emperor and the Yi tribes in recent years.
At this point, if the people of Zhao can still be safe from this matter, Wang Li must live. Wang Ben used bloody killing to prove to them that all unrealistic delusions were futile and that no one could afford the consequences.
"The General thinks three times, the Marquis of Wucheng will not be punished until he dies. Please forgive him for his life first and escort him back to the capital and let His Majesty decide!" The official of the Ministry of War who followed the army stepped forward and spoke.
"Please spare the Marquis of Wucheng!" A group of imperial guards also knelt down on one knee and pleaded with mercy.
"Well, I'm here all the way, just for you, a bad son. Whether you die or live, you can only let Your Majesty decide, remove his general seal talisman, take it into prison, and wait for me to arrange everything and take it back to the capital and hand it over to Your Majesty for trial!" Wang Ben waved his hand with a dejected expression, and a group of guards and imperial guards rushed to the general Wang Ben to drag it away.
Wang Ben turned his head and looked at Li Xiong who was still kneeling on the ground on one knee, "Li Xiong, I heard that you are General Li Mu's nephew. Yes, you are indeed a good man, and you did not embarrass General Li Mu. When my father conquered Zhao State, he fought against General Li Mu countless times. General Li Mu passed away for many years, and my father also passed away two months ago. We cannot argue with the grievances of seniors. But now the six countries have returned to Zhao State. I hope you will recognize the situation and do not want to kill yourself. This time you summoned the people to rebel, burned the Guangwu County Government, and attacked the pass and robbed soldiers, armor, food and grass. This is a death sentence..."
"Li Xiong has already regarded death as if he was home. Now his wish is over. He is willing to die. It only makes many Yanmen people and these soldiers feel blocked because of my death and injury. These people are all ordinary civilians near Yanmen. They have wives, children, and young people at home. They just can't bear the anger. After Li Xiong's death, I hope that the general can report to the emperor and bypass these people's death!" Li Xiong kowtowed on the ground.
"When a person is about to die, his words are good. I have written down your words. The person who came, put Li Xiong and Li Dai in prison and took them to the capital for trial. The rest of the rebellious people were all dismissed and waited for Your Majesty's disposal. If there were any more people who were ill-behaved and took them to death, these people would be the end of the matter just now. Go!"
"The general has an order. You will leave Yanmen Pass immediately and return home. You must not escape from other places, nor do you cause trouble again. Otherwise, it will be a crime that will add to the crime. Drop down your armor and weapons and leave quickly..."
With the loud scolding of the imperial guards, the mob knelt on the ground suddenly cheered after a brief moment of stagnation. They all kowtowed and shouted the general's kindness and righteousness. Then they got up and helped their injured companions, and the dead villagers on their backs passed through the city gate in groups, and cried and laughed for dozens of miles.
Half an hour later, all the mobs dispersed, and the bodies of soldiers in front of Yanmen Pass were collected and set fire to bury them. The injured were also arranged to go to nearby townships to search for medical medicinal materials for bandage treatment.
A day passed in a flash, and in front of Yanmen Pass, the majesty and peace of the past were once again restored to the majesty and peace of the past. The soldiers patrolled back and forth at the city Pass, flags fluttering in the wind. In front of the empty pass, only large patches of bloody mud condensed into ice, which looked extremely bloody and dazzling.
As the mob attacking Yanmen Pass left, what happened in Yanmen Pass quickly spread throughout Guangwu County. The civilians gathered everywhere to make trouble quickly scattered, and some timid people ran away overnight. The chaotic Guangwu County quickly calmed down.
In the next two days, Wang Ben neither investigated the whole story of the Yanmen Pass incident nor dealt with any officials or civilians. He first went to the Northern Army camp a hundred miles away, holding the emperor's orders and general's sealed military talismans, and asked the deputy general Su Jiao to temporarily take over the position of the chief general to guard the border, and then went to Guangwu County.
The county government office in Guangwu County was burned, the county magistrate was killed, the lieutenant soldiers were all scattered, and the county police station prison was also destroyed. Not only were all detained prisoners fled, but all the arrested civilians were rescued due to the Yanmen Pass incident. However, the only good thing was that the mob did not rob the granary of the county town except for burning the county government for anger and letting the prisoners go, nor did he destroy the county town's buildings and kill innocent people causing greater chaos.
Wang Ben issued orders one after another to summon officials, gentry, famous scholars and merchants from all townships in Guangwu County, briefly informed the handling process of the Yanmen Pass incident, and ordered the county magistrate to serve as the county magistrate, and summoned the lost police and lieutenant soldiers to let the county magistrate re-operate. Wang Ben said that the matter of repairing the county magistrate was not mentioned. This was done by Guangwu County Magistrate himself to find a solution. What needs most now is to stabilize the situation in Guangwu County.
When Jiang Chutian and the soldiers of Loufan Pass crossed the rugged and difficult Luliang Mountain to reach Yanmen Pass, they found that Yanmen Pass had already changed its flags and a large king-shaped flag was inserted on the top of the city.
When dealing with Jiang Chutian, Wang Ben's thoughts were very complicated. This time, he involved Wang Li in the court. It can be said that Jiang played a crucial role. Whether it was Chen Xu's arrangement or Jiang's intention to surrender to Chen Xu, in short, because of Jiang Chutian's letter, Wang Li became the principal in this matter, which led to the fact that this matter rose from a very ordinary thing to a confrontation between two top nobles and marquises. In order to protect Wang Li, Wang Ben had to come and deal with it himself.
As Wang Li's friend in Xianyang, Jiang Chutian was transferred by Wang Li to serve as the chief guard of the camp by Wang Li, but he did not expect to become a bomb around him. Wang Ben would not tell Wang Li about this, but Wang Li will know sooner or later that the two may have another conflict in the future, but Wang Ben feels that he can no longer control it.
He came along the way against the wind and snow, almost sleeplessly along the way. After passing by Heilongkou, Wang Ben felt that his soul had been in extreme chaos, and he was confused all day long, but he had to force himself to deal with the matters in Guangwu County and Yanmen Pass.
After some consideration, Wang Ben ordered Jiang Chutian to serve as the commander of Yanmen Pass. After repairing it for one day in Guangwu County, early on the fourth day, Wang Ben led the imperial guards to escort Wang Li, Li Xiong and Li Dai to return to Xianyang.
Officials of all sizes and officials in Guangwu County and many gentry and famous gentry came to see each other off. A riot that swept across Yanmen and Taiyuan counties was invisible, and Wang Ben also used bloody means like a massacre to completely suppress the restless people's hearts.
The snow has not melted, and the snow has come again. On the day Wang Ben set off, another heavy snow that swept across the entire northwest roared. The vast snow covered the roads to travel south, the mountains and rivers.
A day later, the team that rushed back to Xianyang again in the wind and snow. When passing by a frozen river, Wang Ben fell from his mount and fell into the cold river. The guards and imperial guards rescued him and then searched for the nearest town to camp for treatment. But soon Wang Ben fell into a coma that was intermittent, and all the doctors who were treating him were helpless.
That night, Tongwu Hou suddenly woke up and asked the guards to take Wang Li to his bed.
"Li Er, when the Marquis of Qinghe used immortal art to extend your grandfather's life, he said that I would suffer a disaster in the future. This time I came to Yanmen, my father felt that he was uneasy. I think the disaster had come. After my father died, you should not be sad. Take my body back and buried beside my grandfather. My father and son fought for a lifetime, and finally he could have a good end. God opened his eyes. If you have the chance, please help me ask Marquis of Qinghe, what did your grandfather tell him before his death? This matter... I originally wanted to come to ask this matter in person after going back this time, but I am afraid there would be no chance... Also, remember not to provoke Marquis of Qinghe in the future, take good care of Yuan'er and Wei'er, serve my grandmother with good life, mother and several aunts, and take good care of several illegitimate brothers and sisters. My Wang family has made too great contributions, so don't be arrogant in the future, so as not to let my Wang family lose their sons and grandchildren... Remember... Remember... Remember..."
After Wang Ben finished speaking, he died of anger. Another imperial imperial god in the Qin Dynasty fell, leaving more than a thousand imperial guards to lie on the ground and cry in the snow. The officials accompanying him quickly informed the Taiyuan County Magistrate and rushed to the capital for 400 miles.
In just a hundred days, the two Wuhous of the Ding Kingdom of Wang passed away one after another. Wang Li cried sadly and was like a crazy beast, with red eyes roaring and roaring towards Xianyang, holding a big sword in his hand and trying to leave, but they were both held down and dragged back by Wang Wu and Wang Qi and others. The leader of the imperial guards who accompanied him was afraid that something would happen to Wang Li, so he tied him up and imprisoned him in a wooden cage.
