On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 45
On August 580, the second year of the elephant (68), the massive Yuchijiong Rebellion was put down, which lasted only [-] days.

All the fires in Beicheng had been extinguished long ago, leaving only wisps of black smoke. Amid the panic and uneasiness of the people in Yecheng, everyone ushered in the first night of Zhou's army entering the city.

Having witnessed the tragic situation in the northern city, most of the residents in the southern city are still grateful to Cui Che.

After all, he was the one who ordered to maintain the law and order in Nancheng, hunted down the street thugs who took the opportunity to loot, and protected the people of Nancheng.

Of course, gratitude is one thing, and everyone will not go to the camp to rescue him because of this, at most, when Cui Che is executed, they will secretly burn a stick of incense for him.

The people of Yecheng were really afraid of Wei Xiaokuan.

Don't look at Wei Xiaokuan as an image of an elder who supports and advances in front of a talented young man like Cui Che who has a close relationship with Yang Jian, he really thinks he is a gentle old man.

Before nightfall, Wei Xiaokuan ordered that all the soldiers who followed Yuchijiong and fled to defend Beicheng be buried alive.

In the captive camp outside the city, everyone was thankful that they fell early.

The [-] plays under Cui Che's command were assigned separately, the reason being that they had meritorious service in dedicating the city and had their own camp outside the city.

There was an open space in the camp, and more than [-] wooden stakes were erected, and each stake was tied with a corpse. The grass was covered with dried blood, obviously dead for some time.

When he got close, he could still smell the strong smell of feces and urine. It should also be due to incontinence due to fear before death.

The evening wind blows, and there is no sound.

Zhang Heng, who was on duty, looked back at the open space lined with more than [-] corpses, feeling inexplicably strange.

"Don't look, these people deserve to die."

The person who spoke was Wang Qing who was on duty with Zhang Heng. Both of them were servants of the Cui family, and they were compiled into a part by Cui Che.

Zhang Heng didn't sympathize with the group of sellers. He spat in the direction of the open space before turning around.

He asked Wang Qing again:

"Why did Marshal Wei send these people back?"

"Did you forget? Marshal Wei is also a master. There are many servants in the family. He must be extremely disgusted with these traitors."

After Wang Qing finished speaking, he also remembered the scene of the whole army watching his sentence, and he still has lingering fears.

He and Zhang Wu are also old acquaintances, after all, they are both born in the same family, but they didn't expect that after going to Chang'an for a few years, it would be like a different person, killing people without even blinking an eye.

"But why is Cui Lu missing from these people?"

Zhang Heng's question pulled Wang Qing back from his thoughts, and Wang Qing said indifferently:
"All the accomplices ended up like this, how could Cui Lu, the mastermind, be any better? Presumably he was killed early on."

Hearing this, Zhang Heng sighed again:
"Actually, Mr. Xiao Lang is really a good person."

Wang Qing hurriedly looked around, seeing no one, immediately heaved a sigh of relief, glared at Zhang Heng fiercely, and said angrily:

"You don't want to die! Forget about those who were buried alive!"

Zhang Heng quickly shut up, and Wang Qing stopped gossiping with him, but recalled that when he followed Cui Che to visit relatives at Miao Rong's house, Mr. Xiao Lang still remembered that they hadn't eaten, so he hurried back to the county.

Contrary to what Wang Qing guessed, Cui Lu is not dead, at least he is still alive.

Yenan City, Cui Mansion.

Cui Lu was tied up in the main courtyard, his mouth was gagged with rags, but he still cursed silently.

Cui Che ignored the struggling lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The two baskets beside him were already empty, and strings of copper coins were hung on the shoulders of more than [-] people who had been staunchly protecting the lord on the tower.

After clapping his hands, Cui Che smiled at the thirty or so loyal servants:
"Your loyalty cannot be measured by money, but this is the reward I can give at present.

"Take it home. If you are married, add some clothes for your wife, buy some snacks for your children, and buy a few catties of fine wine for yourself; if you are not married, hurry up and find a good marriage!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, which was in stark contrast to Cui Lu who was struggling.

After the laughter of the loyal servants stopped, Cui Che said seriously:

"I will never forget the rewards they deserve for those who are loyal to the Lord, and I will never condone their crimes for those who betray the Lord for glory. Now that Cui Lu is in court, you guys say! How should I deal with him! "

The crowd raised their arms and shouted:
"Kill him! Kill him!"

Crashing, the sound of copper coins colliding can be heard endlessly.

"Okay! Zhao Wen! Bring the knife!"

Cui Che took the dagger from Zhao Wen, intending to do it himself.

It was very difficult to make this decision. In his last life, he never even killed a chicken.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cui Che mustered up the courage to walk in front of Cui Lu, seeing his venomous eyes, Cui Che did not stab him immediately.

He hated Cui Lu's gaze very much, because this dying man had no fear at all, and the naked resentment made Cui Che feel very uncomfortable, so he smiled slightly at Cui Lu:
"On the road to Huangquan, uncle has to walk more slowly, lest your wife, children and mother can't catch up with you."

Cui Lu finally changed his face, the fear in his pupils was exactly what Cui Che wanted to see, so he pulled out the rag from his mouth for Cui Lu.

"Xiao Langjun! I beg you, I beg you to let them go, Ah Yan is your cousin, have you forgotten! You can't kill him, they are innocent, I beg you!"

Cui Che's smile became more and more gentle, but he said the cruelest words:

"Cut the weeds but don't eradicate the roots. Is it possible to keep them to avenge you? Son's revenge! Husband's hatred! Father's hatred! Uncle, they don't die, nephew, I can't sleep or eat."

After finishing speaking, before Cui Lu could curse him, Cui Che raised his knife and stabbed him in the chest, then pulled it out quickly, and stabbed him three or four times in a row, blood splashed all over Cui Che's body.

Cui Lu's eyes gradually dimmed in despair.

"Young Lord."

Zhao Wen handed over the silk scarf.

Cui Che didn't pick it up, the blood all over his body couldn't be wiped clean with a silk scarf.

"Find some trustworthy people to go to Boling's hometown and deal with Cui Lu's family."

Zhao Wen hurriedly responded, the young man today made him feel strange, maybe it was because of the betrayal of someone close to him that the current change came about.

Cui Che, who was going to clean up, suddenly stopped and told Zhao Wen:

"Give it a good time, no insults are allowed."

Then he smiled to the loyal servants who watched the execution:

"It's late at night, everyone go back to rest. During this period of time, you have to stay in Hebei and wait for my news before going to Chang'an."

Everyone responded one after another, Zhao Wen also felt relieved, it seemed that Mr. Xiao Lang had not changed.

But in fact, Cui Che has changed after all.

When he first came to this era, what he wanted was to gain fame and fame. In the future, he would use his family background to worship officials and not take any risks. In ancient times, he would marry a wife and take concubines to live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.

But Cui Che was hit hard by the fact that the daughter of the Dou family recruited a son-in-law. He didn't want to suffer this humiliation again, so he took the risk to pursue the identity of the minister of the hidden mansion. Fortunately, he succeeded without any risk.

And Cui Lu's betrayal made him see the sinister heart.

While supporting the people around me, I also have to let them understand that the cost of betrayal is definitely more than just paying with one life.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and Cui Che disappeared in the dark corridor.
