Jinghong Tower

Chapter 218 Massacre of the Village

The comic strips were circulated in Pingshan and Zhending. The local Jin army confiscated some of them, but only those that were on the shelves had not been sold. As for those that had been bought, they could not be found.

Besides, most of the people who bought this were children, but a few were arrested and asked to redeem the money from their families. The ones who came were all old ladies. They rolled around against the wall and walked away with the whole set. We had no choice but to drive them away.

Now in Zhending, everyone knows that this trick is most effective.

King Jin is awesome, isn't he already crying to the point of being helpless by Old Lady Zuo?

Besides, King Jin repeatedly warned that it is indeed a big city and cannot be taken lightly.

Now King Jin has to continue fighting and needs money. If he needs money, he has to deal with those aristocratic families and merchants. If he really offends people in the same place, both money and reputation will be lost.

In the end, the comic strip matter came to an end, but it could no longer be sold openly, but it was still sold privately.

On that day, Cai Ying's speech on the Zhuozhou City Tower had already spread throughout the world. The King of Jin was in Tang County, but news from all directions still reached his ears.

What made him even more angry was the war situation in Xinzhou, which had already lost half of its territory.

He was about to reach the capital, but half of Jin, his base camp, was already gone.

Wu's father and son were seriously injured and had not recovered, but they were at peace during this period. It was Ran's army that attacked Xinzhou, and the leader was Lu Zhen, the eldest son of Wu'an Hou.

How can King Jin not be angry?

He sent Zheng Xuan to assassinate He Ran, but now He Ran is not only alive, but also jumping up and down happily.

"Send a message to Zheng Xuan Fei Ge and ask him to speed up his actions." King Jin's face was as dark as water.

He didn't know yet that Zheng Xuan had been killed by Zhong Yi.

Yes, Zhong Yi secretly beheaded Zheng Xuan before leaving for Helin Temple.

People like Zheng Xuan cannot stay in the world. Even if they are imprisoned, Zhong Yi will not worry. Who knows if someone will rob the prison? The best way is to kill him.

At this time, Zhong Yi has arrived at Wuzhai. The Jin army can no longer be seen in Wuzhai, but in the countryside or mountains, it is not known that the people above have been replaced.

Zhong Yi and his party were all in casual clothes. When they passed a field, they found that the field was deserted and overgrown with weeds.

Zhong Yi reined in the reins. The fields here had not been cultivated for at least a year or two. Looking around, there were at least a hundred acres of barren land as far as the eye could see.

Zhong Yi realized that he didn't seem to see anyone along the way, so he asked one of his men to inquire. He thought he would be back soon, but he didn't expect that the man didn't come back until a full hour later.

"What's going on?" Zhong Yi had a vague guess.

A flash of sorrow flashed in the eyes of his subordinates: "Everyone in the massacre village is dead. Not only here, but there is also wasteland on the other side of the mountain. It was not easy for my subordinates to meet a few people."

This is similar to what Zhong Yi guessed. I have seen such a situation in my previous life. However, the Wuzhai area has always been the territory of King Jin. It was not until recently that Ran Jun took over. Who did this massacre of the village?

"Tell me carefully," Zhong Yi said.

The subordinates said: "Zou Wenguang's only son is named Zou Xingfu. The year before last, a Xiaoqi under his command had a grudge against him and tried to kill him while he was drunk. However, he failed. Zou Xingfu was stabbed, and the Xiaoqi was hacked to death. , Xiaoqi and several brothers from the same village were also in the army and escaped overnight. Zou Xingfu led his troops to chase them to their hometown village and forced the villagers to hand over their people. When the villagers could not hand over their people, Zou Xingfu ordered the massacre of the village. There are nearly a thousand people in the village, and no one is left alive."

Zhong Yi's face was as dark as water: "Does the King of Jin know about this?" His subordinates didn't know.

This place is under the jurisdiction of Xinzhou. Two years ago, the highest official here was Fu Yansheng.

Zou Wenguang is Fu Yansheng's favorite general, and he promoted him single-handedly.

Zou Xingfu is Zou Wenguang's only son. If something like this happened, Zou Wenguang would definitely block the news. But even if it reached Fu Yansheng's ears, he would not sit idly by and ignore it, but he would definitely not punish him severely, otherwise Zou Xingfu would not be alive today.

"Where are the corpses of the villagers?" Zhong Yi asked.

"It's buried at the back of the village. There are many barren graves there, but there are no monuments. It seems that those few people came back quietly afterwards to collect the bodies for the villagers." said the subordinate.

"Well, continue to check and find out the names of those people." Zhong Yi ordered.

The subordinate followed the order and left. This matter cannot be found out by casual inquiry. After all, everyone in the village is dead.

However, Jin Yiwei finally found the names of these people. Later, these people were found in Ran Jun and were all transferred by Zhong Yi.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

When you arrive at Wuzhai, Helin Temple is not far away.

This was not Zhong Yi's first visit to Helin. However, the previous two times it was still the territory of the Jin army. He came quietly and avoided the Jin army's inspections, so he did not see these wastelands.

Zhong Yi first asked people to inquire about the situation in the villages near Helinguan. As expected, the villagers here thought it was the King of Jin and the Jin army who were in charge of them.

When I heard that someone had been replaced, an aunt cried on the spot: "How can this be done? I just paid for the food not long ago, and now that someone has changed, do I have to continue to pay? There is no food at home. Really?" there is none left!"

Zhong Yi asked them about the last time they paid food, which was just a few days before the Jin army withdrew from Wuzhai. In other words, the Jin army looted another batch of food before leaving.

When she came to Wuzhai this time, Zhong Yi originally didn't want to contact Lu Zhen, but now it seems that she still needs to send a message to Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen is a son of a noble family. It is difficult for these young masters to understand the sufferings of the people. It is really possible to do it again. Collect food.

This is how war is fought now. Generally, food and grass are prepared before sending out troops. However, as time goes by, the food and grass are not enough. When the supplies cannot be delivered immediately, the officers leading the troops will order the requisition of food.

He Ran made repeated orders to pay for the grain requisition. The money was all cash, and most of it was copper coins. How could he bring so many copper coins into the war? Even if they have money, they have won it by winning battles, so at this time, officers often pay me back in advance.

This so-called white note is just empty talk in the eyes of ordinary people and is useless.

Fortunately, Zhong Yi knew that He Ran had just sent supplies to Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao not long ago, so Lu Zhen's food and grass would not be much different now, but he still wanted to say hello to him.

After understanding the situation, Zhong Yi went to Helin Temple.

First he sent greeting cards in a formal manner. The first two times he sneaked in without sending greeting cards. Now the situation is different and it is more formal.

Ouyang Yun's condition has been very bad these days.

Helin Temple is isolated from the world, and Ouyang Yun doesn't know about Cai Ying. But when Zheng Xuan came to ask for someone that day, the eyes he looked at him were full of calculation and consideration. This made Ouyang Yun very uncomfortable. He always felt , something is going to happen.
