Chapter 220 A complete success
Seeing this, the magistrate became even more resentful, pointing at several guards and shouting.

"What are you doing for food? You can't even do such a trivial matter? The bandits moved away when they saw the official coming, you know?"

"My lord, we didn't find any bandits carrying gold, silver and treasure along the road."

The magistrate stomped his feet in anger: "Damn it, they actually emptied the grain and gold and silver treasures, you take people up to that mountain to search."

Ever since, teams of soldiers rushed to the other two hills, but they still found nothing.

"My lord, did the bandits know you were coming and moved them away in advance?"

There was nothing on the mountain except trees, and the trees were very lush, but the magistrate didn't send anyone to cut them down.

Because there are poisonous insects and beasts everywhere on this mountain, what if you accidentally get bitten?
"Send someone to guard this mountain. This is the den of bandits. They will definitely come back."

"Yes, my lord."

Hiding under Lu Shaoqian's men in the dark, they were amazed at the foresight of their mistress, they really didn't need to miss this mountain.

This time, the magistrate is determined to catch these bandits, even if they are all killed, he will not be able to vent his anger.

The magistrate rushed down the mountain in a sedan chair, usually the magistrate was very afraid of death, so he always walked in the middle.

At this moment, the magistrate was very angry. At this moment, a man in black appeared quietly beside his sedan chair.

stabbed him
"what!"

The prefect's entourage screamed, and he blocked the prefect with his body.

The magistrate was petrified, he was paralyzed in the sedan chair and could not move.

"You, who are you?"

The man in black sneered: "I am the head of the Xingyue Church, you actually killed so many of our brothers."

The magistrate looked at the man in black with his face covered, and asked at a loss.

"What do you want to do? I am the most trusted courtier of the Holy Majesty today. If you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, be careful to copy and chop everyone."

The man in black snorted coldly with disdain and said, "Stop scaring me with your bullshit official prestige, I'm going to kill you today."

The magistrate was terrified: "No, no, no, you can't do this..."

It's true that the man in black is the head of the Xingyue God Sect, but he is not avenging the believers, let alone some kind of hero doing justice for the heavens.

He was a criminal noble who was exiled to Xirong, he was rescued by Xiao Jueqing and has been with the leader ever since.

The members of the Xingyue God Sect were all bewitched by Xiao Jueqing, and this person was also exiled together for the crime of sitting together.

Although exile is gentler than beheading, it is also extremely destructive in the process of practice.

The punishment of beheading directly takes the prisoner's life, but the punishment of exile destroys the prisoner's body and spirit.

People think that returning to the root of fallen leaves is the best destination for a person, but once the prisoner is sentenced to exile.

This means that they are very likely to never return to the place where they were born, which is a great punishment for the prisoners.

People with a tough heart will take their families and settle down in the land of exile to open up wasteland and farm, and live a quiet life.

If the mind is not tenacious, it will hate the sky and the earth, and will die or live, and will be depressed and unable to extricate itself.

Most of the punishments in the Great Yan Dynasty were mainly aimed at punishing the human body.

Harsh punishment can indeed effectively strengthen the emperor's centralization of power, but punishment is also a double-edged sword.

If it is used well, it will become a servant of the imperial power, and if it is not used well, it will arouse many organizations like the Xingyue Sect.

The dynasties were in a high-intensity hierarchical society, and in such a society, the emperor became the supreme existence.

Since the ancients lived in an era of low productivity, the emperor could not guarantee every will of his own.

All can be uploaded and distributed very well, so in order to strengthen the imperial power in his hands, the emperor must formulate harsh punishments.

After Xiao Jueqing failed to seize the heir apparent, he did not fall into deep sorrow. On the contrary, he started to create the Xingyue God Sect.

All the bad experiences did not make Xiao Jueqing fall to the bottom, but made him more passionate.

Created the self-appointed leader of the Xingyue God Sect, and recruited believers to encourage them to provoke the imperial power everywhere.

This hall master is one of them, and he wants to provoke the officials when he sees them.

Because their family was exiled more than ten years ago, they were born to be sons and brothers of nobles.

They were helpless about farming and doing farm work. His father was drunk all day long, and his steps were staggering.

During the Chinese New Year, the sound of firecrackers on the street could not dispel the drunkenness in his father's heart, so he was afraid that someone would come to him and demand the money owed to him.

It is conceivable how bad their lives are. They can't eat enough, don't wear warm clothes, and live in dire straits.

At that time, his mother suddenly fell ill, and she was lying on the bed, gasping like a gossamer.

He kept muttering in his mouth: "God! Help. Save my children."

In desperation, he met the leader of the Xingyue Sect, who would feed and clothe his family as long as they joined the Xingyue Sect.

They agreed without any hesitation, and the leader of the god religion really fulfilled his promise.

Let all believers have no worries about food and clothing. As for the burning, killing and looting of the gods, everyone chose not to see it.

The man in black wanted to make another move, but was besieged by the lieutenant general with a dozen people, and finally had to escape in embarrassment.

The mighty suppression of bandits in Pingjiang Mansion has also come to a successful conclusion, and neither side has ever doubted the Xiaoyao faction.

Early the next morning.

Lu Shaoqian and the others returned to Shuangjiang Town with ten carriages of New Year's goods.

Lu Shaoqian and the others were on their way for the past few days because they were going to come back for the new year.

Lin Fuyue sat beside Lu Shaoqian. She was wearing a thick down jacket, holding a hand warmer in her hand, and a rabbit fur hat covering most of her face.

"Husband, look quickly, it's snowing." Lin Fuyue pointed to the feather-like snowflake not far away, smiling like a successful cat.

"It's really snowing, Yue'er, I really want to go to Shuangjiang Town soon." Lu Shaoqian looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Lu Shaoyi didn't have much interest in snow scenes. He was born in the north, where it was always covered with snow in winter.

So Lu Shaoyi didn't think there was anything interesting at all, he just felt that he was stimulated by his brother-in-law's show of affection.

He curled his lips and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, what's so strange about this snowing, you just want to show your affection in front of our eyes, Xiao Yufan, don't you think so?"

"Snow is so beautiful, I haven't seen it snow a few times." Xiao Yufan blinked his big eyes.

His eyes were very pure, without any complicated things mixed in. Like his parents, he looked at Xuexue seriously for the first time.

When Lu Shaoyi heard Xiao Yufan say this, he remembered that there are very few snow days in the south.
