Pei Yuanyu also knew that after this series of provocations, it would be strange for the Qingjiao believers not to cause trouble. Even if they were not a cult, they would be forced to rebel. But this was the instruction of Vice Minister Wu, and he could only follow it. Even if Pei Yuanyu
He felt that all of this was caused by Deputy Prime Minister Wu deliberately causing trouble, but he could only do as he was told. Standing behind Deputy Prime Minister Wu was Prime Minister Lu. He didn't know what their purpose was, but if he didn't respect the order,
The consequences are very clear. Pei Yuanyu has long been the person of Lu Xiang and Wu Chunlai. Let him handle the matter this time, which is actually a great trust. Although it is very dangerous, Pei Yuanyu knows that after this incident
, I must be promoted. The premise is that I can come back alive.
For this reason, Prime Minister Lu personally greeted him and selected 500 elite soldiers from the Imperial Guards in front of the palace to increase security. With the protection of these 500 Imperial Guards, Pei Yuanyu felt a little relieved. In fact, Pei Yuanyu really wanted to protect the soldiers.
Doubling the number of horses, but having more troops and horses will defeat the purpose of this trip. Because there are too many troops and horses, the opponent will not dare to act rashly. Five hundred troops and horses is already the limit.
Hou Changqing was also one of the selected people, and Pei Yuan Yuan also found out that Hou Changqing was also a member of Prime Minister Lu. He had never known this before. Only then did Pei Yuan Yuan understand how powerful Prime Minister Lu was.
Water cannot penetrate where needle cannot penetrate, but Prime Minister Lu has already deployed his own men. This troop deployment was ordered by Privy Councilor Yang Jun. Zhao Yuankang, the commander of the front department, did not even know about it. He only knew that
Five hundred soldiers and horses were required to escort an errand. It can be seen that this operation was not only an order from the Government Hall, but also received the cooperation of the Privy Council. The cooperation between the two governments because of this matter shows the importance of this trip.
After arriving in Changheng County, Pei Yuanyu and Hou Changqing appeared to be laughing and joking and not understanding anything, but in fact they had already been mentally prepared. They knew there would be trouble tonight, so they were already prepared.
"County Magistrate He, don't ask any more questions. Now I order you to gather the people you have on hand to assist us in our operations. If the cult members dare to cause trouble tonight, we will suppress it mercilessly. If you don't want to take responsibility at the moment,
, you have to work together with us. Do you understand?" Pei Yuanhua said coldly.
He Anmin could only nod, but he still raised a question.
"Two adults, there are thousands of Qingjiao members, how can we do it with only these few people? For the safety of the two adults, I think it is better to withdraw from the county. It is not that I am greedy and afraid of death, it is indeed the two adults.
I don’t know how powerful the Qingjiao followers are.”
"They are cult members. Master He." Hou Changqing corrected him: "Also...these five hundred people are elites of the Forbidden Army, not just a mob. Master He, you can rest assured. Your life, Master He, is not worth more than ours. We are all
If you're not afraid, what are you afraid of? Just do as I'm told. If you dare to run away, you will be the first to be punished."
He Anmin shut up completely. He had already said what he needed to say, and the rest was beyond his control. The only thing he could do was to pray for God's blessing and prevent it from getting out of control tonight.
…
Dusk enveloped Changheng County. The small Changheng County was not busy originally, but at this moment, it was even more deathly silent. There was no one on the long street. It was as if all the people had a premonition that what was going to happen today
It seems that since the evening, the residents and shops have closed their doors one after another, and no one is seen anymore. Even the cats and dogs on the street seem to have a premonition of the unusual atmosphere. They usually fight and shout on the street, but now there is no one.
There was no trace of them.
At the south entrance of the main street, a black torrent began to rush onto the main street. Like a turbid flood, the torrent soon divided into four teams and spread to every street and alley in the county.
Then, the beating, smashing, looting, and burning started. I don’t know who started it, but black-robed believers poured into a mansion of a wealthy family in the East City. The nurse in the wealthy family’s home tried to resist, but was quickly beaten by the church members and ran away. The members rushed into the homes of wealthy families, robbed money, raped people, and set fire to the houses. Immediately, there were loud cries and cries. The composition of these members was mixed, most of them were ordinary people, but some were actually idle bullies who mixed in. He became more like a fish in water and became the backbone of the Qingjiao. Now that there was an uprising, the temper that had been suppressed for a long time began to explode. Those who had had festivals before, those who had been disrespected, and even those who had been beaten and scolded. Now they are taking advantage of the public to seek personal benefits. First of all, they will I started to take revenge on these people.
Once this kind of behavior starts, it cannot be stopped. Even some ordinary believers, infected by the current atmosphere and emotions, have lost their minds one by one, started to burn, kill and loot crazily, falling into the pleasure of lawless abuse and cruelty. among.
In less than half an hour, the streets and alleys where the four cult members passed were filled with flames and screams. People ran out of their homes and rushed to the city gates on all sides, trying to escape from this hell on earth. County town. However, the city gates on all sides were already more chaotic than in the city. The city was on fire, and hundreds of believers who were ambushed in the four cities outside the city began to storm the city gates. The gate manpower of the small county town was pitiful. , there were less than fifty soldiers stationed at each city gate, which could withstand the impact. Soon they were all occupied by the believers.
After the occupation, the city gates were tightly closed, and the people could not leave the city, so they had to turn around and run back into the city. For a time, the streets and alleys in the city were full of people, crying and panicked people everywhere.
Luo Wenyi did not expect that tonight's action would be such a start. He did not want the believers to carry out such acts of burning and killing people. Although some people did need punishment, the purposeless burning by the believers He does not allow killing, looting, and robbery. But at this time, it is useless for him to restrain them. The believers are all red-eyed. Robbery and killing are in full swing, and he cannot restrain them at this time.
Besides, Luo Wenyi thought about it and realized that this might not be a bad thing. Most of the followers were pure and honest people. If they could get their hands stained with blood at this moment, they would never be able to look back. From then on, they would only have one way to go to the dark side. .This may not be a good thing.
Four teams of thousands of members of the cult burned, killed and looted all the way from the surrounding streets. Everywhere they went, it was like a cloud of hell shrouding it, turning the originally peaceful town upside down. As the teams slowly advanced, the encirclement became smaller and smaller. All the congregation members slowly gathered from all directions and surrounded the county government office at the intersection. Soon after, the county government office was surrounded.
In the square, the torches were brightly illuminated. Under the light of the torches, the excited faces of the Green Sect members had cruel smiles on them. Their distorted faces looked as terrifying as the faces of demons in the flickering light of the fire. Everyone They were all snorting and waiting for the order to attack. They were like vicious dogs that had been hungry for a long time, and they could hardly hold the leash.
Luo Wenyi, who was dressed in a black robe and covered his head and face in a hood, came to the front of the team, faced the tall and dark gate tower of the county government office in front of him, and spoke loudly.
"People inside, listen up. What you did today has touched the bottom line of our Qingjiao. Our Qingjiao takes helping people and redeeming people as its own responsibility, and is deeply loved by the people. We have always been on the same page with the government, and we have never been in conflict with the government.
We have never fought against the government. However, you still attacked us after all. Do you think our Qingjiao is a cult? I think the court is the biggest cult. Does your emperor know what kind of life the people are living? Those officials in the court only
I know how to eat and drink the common people, forcing them to pay money and food for you to eat, drink and enjoy yourself. But I, the Holy Duke of Qingjiao, not only know the sufferings of the people, never oppress the people, but also provide relief to the vast number of believers. What is right and wrong, the people have their own justice in their hearts. Today
By announcing the ban on our Qingjiao, you are not giving the people a way to live, and you are confusing right and wrong. The government is forcing the people to rebel. If the people cannot survive, they have only one way, which is to rebel and seek survival. Your emperor does not do this.
For the sake of the people, we pulled him off his horse and made our Holy Duke the emperor."
"The Holy Gong is the greatest, the Holy Gong is the greatest. The Holy Gong should be the emperor, the Holy Gong should be the emperor." The believers shouted crazily.
"Now, I will give you a stick of incense to come out and surrender. Otherwise, your corpses will be cut into thousands of pieces today and you will die without a place to bury you." Luo Wenyi shouted sternly.
Buzz! A feather arrow shot straight from the top of the county government office, grazed the side of Luo Wenyi's neck and was nailed to the throat of a congregant next to him. The congregant screamed and fell to the sky, dying. This time
The feathered arrow has shown the attitude of the officers and soldiers in the county government.
Luo Wenyi was shocked and angry, and shouted sternly: "These stubborn demons, rush in and kill them all. The Holy Duke is watching you, bless you with invulnerability and divine light protection. Kill!"
"Kill!" The believers who had been unable to restrain themselves for a long time received the order, and the shouts of "kill" immediately rose up. Thousands of believers rushed to the gate of the Yamen like a tide. At the same time, a religious slave shot out fireworks.
The sky was bright, and the three thousand-strong congregants on the other three sides of the county government office also let out loud shouts. Countless congregants shouted desperately and rushed to the small county government office courtyard.
In the square directly in front of the Yamen, the believers who rushed to the County Yamen with loud shouts were hit like a storm. Countless arrows were shot from the dark roofs and the walls on both sides, like a cold rain pouring on them.
The mad rush to the heads of the believers. The blessing of the holy god's magical body protection obviously had no effect. In the rain of arrows, countless believers fell to the ground and were shot through the body by powerful arrows. Some were shot.
Becoming like a hedgehog.
The more than one hundred churchgoers rushing in the front row were cut off like leeks in an instant. The five hundred elite forbidden troops led by Pei Yuan Yuan and Hou Changqing were not only carefully selected, but they were also equipped with
At present, it is the most sophisticated weapon in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition to armor and weapons, each of them also carries a repeating crossbow. The repeating crossbow is a weapon specially equipped by the imperial army in front of the Great Zhou Palace. It is complicated and expensive to make, and its lethality is amazing. The quantity is limited.
Under the circumstances, naturally only the guards around the emperor can equip them. Precisely because of the existence of the continuous crossbow, the Zhou Dynasty was not interested in firearms, because the power of the continuous crossbow was much more powerful than those weak firearms. This time,
The Imperial Guards in front of the Five Hundred Hall came equipped with repeating crossbows, which showed that they were well prepared to deal with all emergencies.
The first round of blows like a storm made the Qingjiao believers froze on the spot. They watched a whole row of believers in front of them fall to the ground instantly, feeling hesitant and frightened in their hearts.
