Guo Mian nodded in agreement: "What Lin Jue said is true. We cannot simply kill them. We must find ways to reform these talents. Those who are stubborn will naturally deserve to die, but we cannot generalize them."
Guo Kun frowned and said, "Then what do you think we should do? You have heard what Wei Dakui said. These people are too hateful."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "These people are still unwilling to accept the reality. Isn't this why I kept Hai Dongqing alive? Otherwise, why should I keep him? Wei Dakui, go and take Hai Dongqing out. Let's go to the prisoner's prison together and take a look. They don't listen to us, but they must listen to Hai Dongqing. Come on, I originally planned to do this today."
Wei Dakui cupped his hands and said, "As ordered."
Lin Jue stood up and cupped his hands towards Guo Mian and Guo Kun and said, "Are His Highness the King of Jin and Marquis Du Yu interested in taking a look?"
Guo Mian stretched out and waved his hands and said: "You can go ahead. I was drunk last night and slept for several hours. My head was dizzy and my body felt very uncomfortable. I will write a memorial and send it to the capital in a while. I need to take a nap after that, my body can’t stand the torment. You go and do things, I trust you completely.”
Lin Jue smiled and nodded and said: "That's fine. His Highness is in critical condition and needs a good rest. There is no need for His Highness to do these things personally. You are waiting, are you going?"
Guo Kun nodded and said: "Of course I'll go and see. How effective can Tritonin be? Is it worth your risk to fight him? I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd."
Everyone left the government office and rode to the east gate. After exiting the inner city gate, they arrived at the site of yesterday's fierce battle. Tents had been set up along the city wall inside the small city wall, and nearly 13,000 religious bandits had surrendered. They were all placed in these temporary tents. These people had been tied up and disarmed after the battle yesterday. They had been loosened at this time because they were unarmed. There were archers and crossbowmen guarding the high walls around them, and there were a large number of people inside the city walls. Guarded by the imperial guards, they no longer pose a threat.
To be honest, the officers and soldiers took good care of these prisoners. They even set up tents for them, loosened their bonds, and did not restrict them from moving within a certain range. This was the most humane behavior. Moreover, they cooked minced meat this morning. The porridge was distributed to these people, but you must know that the people in the city may not be able to eat minced meat porridge now.
But since midnight last night, some religious bandits got up in the middle of the night to pray and shout that the Holy Father is the greatest. Some bandits followed suit, sticking their buttocks and kowtowing. It was a noisy and noisy situation. This morning, some of the minced meat porridge was knocked over. The congregation was now under control. There were hundreds of them, tied up individually, and trapped in an open space.
After Lin Jue and others came in from the inner city gate, the captured cult bandits huddled together one by one with unkempt appearance, their eyes glowing like blood-red beasts, staring fiercely at Lin Jue and others, full of hatred. meaning.
Lin Jue and Guo Kun came to the place where the hundreds of religious bandits who had overturned minced meat porridge and made trouble in the morning were imprisoned. Lin Jue stood in front of them and asked in a deep voice: "How come you don't know what is good for you? Now the people in the city have no food and clothing. We will never I saved food between my teeth and cooked minced meat porridge for you to eat. Why did you knock over the porridge and rice and smash the porridge bowl? Why is this?"
A group of prisoners stared fiercely at Lin Jue and others, and one person shouted loudly: "We are members of the Qing Sect and do not eat meat. What kind of minced meat porridge are you cooking? You don't want us to get meat. You have broken the rules of the Qing Sect and ruined the purity of our bodies. We will not eat your dirty minced meat porridge, not even to death of starvation."
Lin Jue was stunned and then smiled bitterly. It turned out that the reason was that the Qing Jiao believers were vegetarian and did not eat meat. This group of people still adhered to this rule and refused to eat meat. That's why they knocked over the minced meat porridge.
This group of people is probably the most pious and die-hard representatives of the Qing religion. They still adhere to the teachings and are deeply poisoned.
"You bastards, I'm not satisfied with the food I gave you. I starved you for three days and pooped on you and you all rushed to eat it. Listen up, these people won't give you anything to eat from now on. When will they kowtow?"
Let's talk about it when we apologize." Guo Kun cursed in a deep voice.
Lin Jue smiled and was about to speak, but heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. Lin Jue turned his head and looked towards the city gate, and saw Wei Dakui and several cavalry escorting Hai Dongqing on horseback. Hai Dongqing changed his clothes.
, her hair was neatly combed and tied into a bun, her face looked pale and gray, and her broken arm was re-bandaged, but she was bleeding a lot, so she was a little depressed.
"The Holy Duke is here, the Holy Duke is here." The captive bandits recognized Hai Dongqing, and there was a commotion in the shack. People rushed out with unkempt faces. When they saw Hai Dongqing, they fell to the ground and cried.
, shouting loudly that the Holy Duke is the Greatest, and kowtow to him incessantly.
"Quick, start singing and wish the Holy Duke good health. With the Holy Duke here, we have hope." Someone shouted loudly towards a group of saints by the east wall.
Several saints opened their mouths and sang like a conditioned reflex: "The Holy Duke is the greatest, benefiting the common people..."
Hai Dongqing was sitting on a horse with a rope tied around his body. One end of the rope was held in the hand of a cavalryman. At this moment, he slowly passed by the prostrate people. Witnessing the behavior of these believers, his eyes were actually moist. These people were really
They were extremely loyal to him, but he never really regarded them as brothers and sisters. He deceived them, fooled them, and tricked them into working for him. His own ambitions brought them to where they are today, but they still treat them as if they were brothers and sisters.
Be loyal to yourself.
There were complex emotions in Hai Dongqing's heart that he had never experienced before. This should not be the mood that a person like Hai Dongqing should have. Over the years, he has never regretted anything he has done, but
Now he actually regrets it.
"Shut up! Shut up! You people are really unreasonable. The Qingjiao has harmed you like this, and you don't know how to wake up. It's really outrageous. You women have become the playthings of the Qingjiao without knowing it.
, you still come to sing carols, do you still have any sense of shame? And you people, who have been deceived and resisted the court, have ended up in this situation, but you still have to bow your head and never return. Think about it carefully, are you worth it? If not for God.
If you have the virtue of living well and don't want to cause more killings, you people should all be beheaded. If you make any more noise, you will not be spared." Guo Kun galloped away on horseback and cursed angrily.
The singing of the saints stopped suddenly. They were actually used to being enslaved and were timid and scared, so when someone asked them to sing, they sang. After being scolded by Guo Kun, they returned to reality.
Realizing that he didn't actually need to sing hymns for the Holy Father, he immediately stopped talking.
Some of the people lying on the ground thoughtfully stopped praying, with struggling and confused expressions on their faces. They seemed to have woken up. But some people did not listen to Guo Kun's words at all and shouted loudly.
Fight.
"We are not afraid of death. We will kill if we want. The Anglican Church takes us to the Yunxiao Temple to enjoy blessings. You still don't let the Holy Gong go. Please pray to me, the Holy Gong, for forgiveness. It's not that the Holy Gong is invincible to you, but the Holy Gong has a compassionate heart.
, I don’t want to kill you. Holy Gong is giving you a hint. Holy Gong, you don’t need to be polite to them. We know that your injuries and captures were all fake. Your arms have grown back. Holy Gong, you are
You sacrifice your life to feed a tiger to inspire these evil heretics, but if they don't appreciate it, why should you, Holy Duke, be polite to them? Summon the divine soldiers of the temple to wipe out these demons and monsters."
Guo Kun waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed over like wolves and tigers, pulling out several believers who were talking nonsense from the crowd and dragging them out like dogs to death.
"Cut it off!" Guo Kun shouted.
The soldiers drew out their swords and were about to take action. Lin Jue hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, wait and take action."
The soldiers stopped, and Lin Jue rode his horse to Guo Kun's side. He smiled and said, "Brother, don't be so angry. I have told you that these people are stubborn people. If they can be influenced so easily, why bother?
"
Guo Kun said angrily: "These dogs and bastards are really hateful. They accept death and refuse to let go. Is there any need to save them? Just kill them all."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Killing is the easiest thing. As I said before, among the millions of people on the east and west roads of Beijing, there are still people who believe in the Qing religion. I'm afraid there are no less than hundreds of thousands of them. Do you want to kill them all? It's still an influence.
"
Guo Kun snorted and said, "I don't believe you have this ability. I want to see what you do."
Lin Jue nodded slightly and rode his horse slowly to the side of Hai Dongqing who was sitting on the horse with his head bowed. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master of the village, how did you sleep last night? Is the injury okay?"
Hai Dongqing nodded and said hoarsely: "What's the difference between good and bad? I'm going to die, so what else can I sleep on? My time is numbered, and I can sleep for ten thousand years after I die. Can't I sleep now?"
It doesn’t matter.”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's right. I'm mainly thinking about your injury. You look good. You should have rested, but you and I have an appointment first, so I asked someone to invite you here. This is the situation in front of us.
You have also seen that these people are confused and unwilling to wake up. Originally, it would be okay to kill all these people, but after all, God has the virtue of good life, and we do not want to do this. So please abide by the agreement, wake them up, and let them
Don't be stubborn anymore. Otherwise, I won't be able to save them."
Hai Dongqing frowned and said, "What do you want me to do? They may not be willing to listen to me."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Don't be humble. I don't need you to tell them what to do. After all, they are not willing to rely on you to tell them what to do. I want you to explain something clearly to them and let them know this."
Everything is a scam. The dreams you weave for them are all fake and are meant to achieve your goals. Tell them clearly and they should wake up."
Hai Dongqing frowned, with a look of hesitation on his face. Lin Jue whispered from the side: "First, you have an agreement with me. If you don't abide by the agreement, I don't have to be so polite to you, and I won't agree.
The condition you put forward. Secondly, these people have been bewitched and poisoned by you. Now that you continue to bewitch them, it will do you no good. It is better to accumulate virtue and do good and let them go. There is no hope in this life, but you can cultivate virtue in the next life.
.You could do things that benefited yourself at the expense of others before, but now they are of no use to you, so why should you be stubborn?"
Hai Dongqing pondered for a moment, took a long breath, nodded and said in a low voice: "Forget it, I will do whatever you want, I will do good deeds for the next life."
