Chapter 131 The witch Bai Taiwei, the prefect Fu Ruwei

Fu Ruwei, on the grounds that he was not familiar with military affairs, gave full power over the city defense to Tongpan Zhu Guobao, while he took charge of the government office.

With nothing to do, I didn't forget to preside over yesterday's decision by Zhu Guobao to let the witch Bai Taiwei "ride a donkey through the streets".

In order to let the people know the fate of the rebellion, Fu Ruwei specially chose to build a wooden platform at Xicaishikou to do this.

When Fu Ruwei arrived at Xicai Shikou in an official sedan, he found that there were tens of thousands of people nearby.

Not only because the wet market is a gathering place for ordinary people, but also because most people like to watch the excitement, especially beheadings.

As long as the person killed is not a recognized good person, the people will applaud him.

After Fu Ruwei ascended the stage, he sat down in the chief officer's position and asked the executioner.

"Is the wooden donkey cart ready?"

The official stood aside and bowed his waist. Hearing the words, he smiled and said: "Reporting to the governor, it has been built. It is over there. Look."

As he said that, Dianshi pointed to the right side of the wooden platform, where a wooden donkey cart was parked.

In fact, it is a special "wooden donkey" grafted onto a flatbed truck.

Fu Ruwei was satisfied after seeing it, but he pretended to sigh and said: "Okay, let's take that demon Bai Taiwei over - if she doesn't do good Kun Dao and becomes a rebel, she will suffer for herself."

Bai Taiwei was taken out of the government prison cell, put into a prison van first, and then took the prison van to Caishikou.

Along the way, people lined the streets and talked about it.

"Is this the demon Bai Taiwei? She looks like an ordinary woman."

"I heard that she knows magic and can charm men to do things according to her orders. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Eighty percent of it is true. Otherwise, how could a woman lead many men to rebel?"

"How did I hear that she is a good person? She used to treat refugees outside the city for free, but she cured many people."

"No charge for medical treatment? How can such a good thing be possible?"

"Huh, even if you really don't charge for medical treatment, it's just deceiving people. How did the rebels come? It's just some ignorant people who were deceived by this generation and forgot the kindness of the court."

A gentleman in brocade robes snorted coldly, which immediately silenced the people around him.

While the prison van was moving, a few people threw mud at the prison van for various reasons.

As for rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs?

That kind of thing is too luxurious, but no one is willing to throw it away, especially in this hungry winter.

Bai Taiwei was shackled in the prison car, his hands were shackled, and his head was shackled on top of the prison cage.

disheveled.

Therefore, the people on both sides of the street could not see her face and expression clearly.

It can only be seen that she is very thin.

In fact, although Bai Taiwei's face was expressionless at this time, his eyes contained sadness.

Not because of the torture of being paraded through the streets on a donkey.

Rather, he feels miserable for his own experience and for the countless poor people who are like nothing in this troubled world.

She is 21 years old.

She was abandoned by her parents after she was born and was first adopted by an old mother-in-law. After her mother-in-law passed away, she wandered for a while and was adopted by her master.

Her master is a Kun Taoist with a certain degree of ultimatum, but he does not have his own Taoist temple. He travels around in other Taoist temples all the year round, and earns some meager incense money by treating people.

She followed her master and didn't learn much about the Taoist scriptures, but she excelled in medical skills.

A few years ago, Master contracted an incurable disease and passed away.

Following her master's instructions, she went to the government official to obtain an ultimatum.

Unexpectedly, there was an official who had doubled the price of the ultimatum several times and wanted to insult her.Thanks to her alertness, she escaped.

But she also became a wild Taoist nun who had no ultimatum.

She didn't care too much, thinking that with her good medical skills, she could travel around and support herself like a master.

But her heart is too soft.

When poor people are sick, they can't help but help them for free.

In addition, she is young and beautiful, and when she goes to treat wealthy people, she is not trusted and easily insulted.

Gradually, she no longer wanted to treat wealthy people.

She only treats poor people in exchange for a mouthful of food.

This made me feel comfortable, but I also became impoverished.

When I went south to Runing Mansion, I unknowingly got mixed up with a group of refugees.And because he saved many people and stopped the spread of a plague in time, he gained the respect of the refugees.

So these people respected her as the leader and hugged each other for warmth.

When they arrived near Ruyang City, they were unlucky enough to encounter a group of officers and soldiers who wanted to rob the refugees of their remaining wealth, and were also prepared to kill the young and strong among them and behead them for credit.

She and the refugees were cornered and resisted angrily.

Fortunately, this group of officers and soldiers only had a few dozen people, and they were not very powerful. Hundreds of them fought to death.

Then one of her refugee leaders said that since they had killed the officers and soldiers, it was better to do the opposite.

This world does not give people a way to survive, so it is better to fight against it.

Most people agreed that there were a few friends she made among them.

Then everyone would respect her as the leader, and she became the leader of the rebels in a confused way.

Some time later, the refugee leader told her that he turned out to be a member of the White Lotus Sect.

This time she contacted the White Lotus Sect and planned to honor her as the White Lotus Saint of Southern Henan in order to strengthen the White Lotus Sect's rebellion.

Bai Taiwei had heard from his master before that the members of the White Lotus Sect were monsters and should not be provoked.

But she had never been in contact with them before. Although she had traveled to many places with her master, she was well protected by her master and had a kind nature, so she didn't know how evil people's hearts could be.

She heard the leader talk about some White Lotus teachings, and felt that if things could be accomplished, they might be able to save these suffering people and build a peaceful and prosperous world.

After that, she continued to treat refugees as the White Lotus Saint, and secretly recruited refugees to join the White Lotus Sect and rebel with them.

Eventually it led to an encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.

After many twists and turns, the leader from the White Lotus sect who first proposed the rebellion died in the battle, and the leaders responsible for fighting and doing things under her also changed several times.

Sometimes the team was hunted down by officers and soldiers until only a few hundred or so backbone members were left, and sometimes it grew rapidly after capturing a village.She was still confused.

But I vaguely feel that if this continues, it may be difficult to save the suffering people.On the contrary, many innocent people died because of the changing of the team.

Before she could figure it out.

He was betrayed by one of his bosses.

Other important subordinates were killed on the spot, and she was captured and became a death row, ending up in this situation today.

She knew she would die soon.

But she didn't understand, she didn't do anything bad and she saved so many poor people, so why wasn't she rewarded?
Does karma only talk about the afterlife?
And after she died, if those poor people who were suffering from hunger and cold got sick again, there would be one less person to treat them, and I am afraid many more people would die...

"Bring the demon Bai Taiwei to the stage to hear the verdict!"

With a long drink, Bai Taiwei came back to his senses.

She was escorted from the prison car to the wooden platform by several government officials.

"Witch Bai Taiwei, do you know your guilt?" Fu Ruwei asked with a serious expression.

I felt a pity secretly in my heart: I heard that Bai Taiwei was extremely beautiful, but she looked too thin, and her face was still unclear at this time with her hair disheveled.

Bai Taiwei raised his head and looked at Fu Ruwei and asked, "Are you the prefect of Ruyang?"

The official on the side yelled: "How dare you! If you don't answer the question of the Palace Master, how dare you ask the question?"

Fu Ruwei looked at Bai Taiwei's thin face exposed in her long hair, and felt that it wasn't that good-looking, at least not as good-looking as Qu Xiaoxiao, and it was too dirty.

He really didn't understand why the refugees who had been healed by this witch said she was extremely beautiful.

Is this woman really capable of seducing men, or are the refugees too inexperienced?

If they had seen Miss Qu Xiaoxiao, they wouldn't think Bai Taiwei was extremely beautiful, right?
At this time, Bai Taiwei said again: "Master Magistrate, the refugees who followed me are innocent. Can we let them go?"

Fu Ruwei came back to his senses and sneered: "How can you be innocent of killing officials and rebelling? All the thieves under your command have been killed except those who surrendered to the court."

Hearing this, Bai Taiwei's face turned even paler.

Aphasia for a while.

Realizing that Bai Taiwei was not as beautiful as rumored, Fu Ruwei was not interested in wasting any more time in this dirty market entrance.

He immediately opened the written verdict document and pronounced Bai Taiwei's crime.

I don’t know who wrote this document. Even Fu Ruwei, a former Jinshi, felt embarrassed when he looked at it. Not to mention the people who were watching, they didn’t understand a few words.

It wasn't until the last two sentences that many people understood.

That is to sentence Bai Taiwei to ride a donkey through the streets, and then behead him in public.

There is a difference between beheading and public beheading.

He was sentenced to beheading, and the body could be stitched up afterwards to make a whole body.

If they want to be shown to the public, the head will be hung on a pole at the market entrance for at least seven days, acting like a headless ghost.

After Fu Ruwei finished reading the sentence document, several government officials escorted Bai Taiwei to the wooden donkey cart.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a burst of shouting came from the east——

"Oh no!"

"The east city gate has been breached, and thieves have entered the city!"

Hearing this, the people watching at Caishikou suddenly panicked and ran away.

At one time, many people were crushed, killed or injured.

Fu Ruwei couldn't care about this.

After a moment of panic, he finally regained his composure and saw that the captain of the rural soldiers who was delivering the news had already rushed to the wooden platform.

He rushed up to meet them and asked urgently: "What happened? How did the East City Gate break down? Where are Zhu Tongpan and Cui Youyi?"

Faced with three consecutive questions, the captain of the country soldier was quite calm.

In other words, the initial panic has passed.

He said: "I was patrolling near the East City Gate, and I found out that hundreds of thieves rushed out of the city, took advantage of the battle on the north city wall, and captured the East City Gate, and then the thieves entered the city.

As for where Zhu Tongpan and Cui Youyi are, I don't know.

Wenzhi County is leading rural soldiers in Dongcheng to intercept the traitors entering the city. They said they wanted to fight in the streets, so they sent me to report to you. Please quickly organize troops to go to Dongcheng to support them. Maybe they can drive the traitors out. Go to the city. "

Fu Ruwei said in disbelief: "Isn't there an urn city? How come the thieves took over the city gate in one go?"

The captain of the rural soldiers said: "I only heard a lot of explosions from the east city gate. I don't know the specific situation."

Ruyang city is quite large.

Inside, the government offices and county offices are buildings with certain defensive functions, including Prince Chong's Mansion.

Even if it is breached by the enemy, it is indeed possible to drive the enemy out through street fighting.

However, even if the rebels invaded the tall city wall, how could they win inside the city?

Besides, he really didn't know much about military affairs. He wanted to organize troops to go to Dongcheng, but he didn't know where to start.

Just when Fu Ruwei was hesitant, he heard a faint shout coming from the north——

"Zhu Tong was killed in battle and the northern city wall was lost!"

"The city is broken! Run for your life!"

"···"

Zhu Guobao died in the battle?

Fu Ruwei stood frozen on the spot for a moment, his face turned pale.

"Master Fu, Wen Zhixian is waiting in Dongcheng. Please organize your troops quickly!" Upon seeing this, the captain of the rural soldiers couldn't help but urge.

"Go back to the government office first." Fu Ruwei made the most useless decision.

As soon as he set off with a group of officials and entourage, the prison official reminded him: "Master, what should we do about the demon Bai Taiwei?"

"First take him to the government office and put him in a cell."

　First more.
