"What are you shouting about?!"
Someone shouted and strode into the courtyard. He didn't care about the few tired people lying on the ground and wanted to step over their heads.
Several people swaggered up to Yao Xiong and others.
"It's your turn!"
The two casual officials who were talking to Yao Xiong hurriedly stood up, "But we have just rested."
"The county government is so busy that the noble people never take a break. Who are you to dare to say that you take a break?! Go quickly!!"
The two people did not dare to refute, so they got up and staggered out of the side door.
The old officials walked into the house humming.
The two of them went out from the side door, walked around in a big circle, and finally arrived at the back of the county government office.
There were many soldiers guarding the place. After checking their identities, they let them in.
When they entered, the door was closed.
This is a row of houses, lined with soldiers. Almost every few steps, there is a soldier standing, looking around vigilantly.
Walking in front of these houses, you can hear screams coming from inside.
The door of the first room is wide open.
You can see a person being hung up. This person's white flesh is exposed, his hair is disheveled, his body is white and red, and he has an unpleasant stench.
An older man with a beard sat at the head of the table, while several old officials stood aside to report the situation:
"This guy is probably really crazy. No matter what I ask him, he just says he wants to eat peaches."
"I've fed him dozens of peaches in the past few days, and he's still clamoring for peaches!"
When the two officials passed by, they didn't dare to raise their heads. They just pretended that they hadn't heard anything and passed quickly.
They came to the hut on the far left. A soldier led them in and closed the door.
There is also a person hanging here, and the two of them are sitting in front of each other.
It was already late at night, and the Xianbei soldier in charge of the execution was also tired. After closing the door, he threw the whip and other things aside, and leaned against the wall to take a nap.
But the two officials had to continue to work, one was responsible for asking questions, and the other was responsible for taking notes.
"Name!!"
"Feiyi."
"Tell me! How did you contact Pseudo Zhou?"
"Unjustly accused, unjustly accused"
Fei Yi was hung up for who knows how long. His head was drooped, his body was covered with bloodstains, and his voice was weak.
Even if I am redressing my grievance, I still cannot be justified.
The two clerks looked at each other, and the one in charge of the interrogation gave the other a stick.
Fei Yi snorted.
"Who has your head been in contact with lately?"
"I don't know."
The two were continuing their interrogation work when suddenly there was noise outside.
Even the soldier who had been napping against the wall woke up at this moment.
The two minor officials just sat in their original positions and did not dare to move.
The soldier was not afraid. He quickly walked to the door, opened it, and stuck his head out.
"Pa~~~"
A whip hit him head-on, and the soldier had no time to dodge.
"I told you not to close the door! Get everything ready!! Interrogation! Interrogation fiercely!!"
The person waving the whip outside was an official. The soldier did not dare to say anything and hurriedly cheered up.
All of a sudden, all kinds of shouts were heard in the entire courtyard, and the two petty officials did not dare to stop and screamed and interrogated.
A group of people poured in from the front yard, holding torches. There were more soldiers in the courtyard, and the entire courtyard was illuminated.
Then I saw a thin young man walking in.
This man was only twenty years old, with handsome appearance, extremely unusual clothes, and a noble air. At this moment, he was surrounded by thirty or forty people.
Most of those people were older, with beards and official clothes, but when they followed the young people, they bowed their heads and had flattering expressions on their faces.
Just like this, a group of people came in a mighty manner, and no one dared to neglect them.
This young man took the lead and walked in front. When he met the Xianbei soldiers, he encouraged them with a few words, but turned a blind eye to the surrounding officials.
He just broke into the house where the two servants were.
Looking at Fei Yi who was hung up, he subconsciously covered his nose.
"Did you ask?"
He looked at the two officials.
The two of them were standing in front of Hou Sheng, feeling unsteady and their voices trembling.
"I haven't returned to my lord yet."
The young man shook his head and said, "We have arrested so many people, but not one of them has died in these days. How can they be afraid if they are not dead? How can they recruit people?"
"They're just Han Chinese without titles. It doesn't matter if you kill a few of them."
"Be more forceful when interrogating."
He explained a few words and then led the large group of people out of here and headed to the next room.
The two clerks took a deep breath and started interrogating again.
Only this time, they obviously tried a little harder.
As the stick fell again and again, Fei Yi's memory was also well restored.
His lips murmured.
"What did you say?!"
The clerk took a few steps forward and put his ear close to him.
"The head of the family once sent me to find Liu Taozi from the law school."
As Fei Yi spoke, blood kept coming out of his mouth.
The little official heard clearly and took a step back, with some shock in his eyes.
He looked at the other person without saying a word.
The soldier couldn't help it anymore. He strode over and took the wooden stick from the clerk's hand, "Have you told me yet?!"
"Never."
After hearing the clerk's answer, the soldier stabbed Fei Yi in the neck with a wooden stick. Fei Yi's eyes widened and he coughed up blood. The soldier came again a few times, but Fei Yi stopped moving.
.
When the clerk went to report that the prisoner had been beaten to death, the young man was standing in the courtyard, explaining everything to the people around him.
"I've been here all day. I'm tired of playing and I want to go back to sleep."
"When I open my eyes tomorrow, when I eat, I have to look at the heads of all the traitors piled up in order to have an appetite."
"If you can't do it, then I will pile up your heads."
The young man smiled and said something shocking.
But those officials didn't dare to refute at all and just nodded.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely complete it!!"
In the law school room, there were constant cries at this moment.
Liu Taozi was sitting in the middle, and Lu Qubing was comforting a crying student.
"My parents are no longer here, no longer here."
The rest of the people stood around in silence.
This student started crying loudly after returning to the classroom.
This vacation was his nightmare.
According to his statement, when he returned home, he found that there were not many people left in the village and most of them had been killed.
The few people who survived also ran away.
He found a surviving distant relative who said it was done by officers and soldiers, but they didn't know why they did it.
Lu Qubing tried his best to persuade the student to get better, and asked people to send him back to rest. He also ordered everyone else to go back to rest.
Lu Qubing had some surprise on his face when he saw Kou Liu standing in the crowd.
Lu Qubing and Taozi entered the house.
"I asked around and they said they were arresting spies."
"Cui Mou also disappeared. It seems that they thought Fei Zongxian had an affair with the Puppet Zhou. Because they couldn't come to an agreement, the Puppet Zhou decided to kill him and silence him."
"I really don't understand why they think this matter is related to the pseudo-week."
"Those who were close to Fei Zongxian in the county school have all been arrested, and there is no news yet."
"There are still people killing people outside the city."
Lu Qubing rubbed his forehead, his face full of pain.
"The temple should send important ministers to solve these problems. Why haven't you come yet?"
"An important official in the temple."
Liu Taozi followed these four words with a very cold tone.
Lu Qubing suddenly said again: "Fei Zongxian sent someone to invite you over, and he has met with me twice. I am afraid that we will also be arrested and interrogated."
"Brother Taozi, if someone really comes to arrest us, you must not fight and resist."
"I'll find a way to get through this."
Taozi didn't answer, just lay down on the bed.
A night of silence.
The next day, Lu Qubing got up very early.
The entire county school is in panic, and many students and even lecturers have left here.
The county school became empty, just like the city, it became a ghost town.
The men and women who used to play in the garden and forest can no longer be seen now.
They were probably all trying to escape this storm, and the atmosphere in the county school was particularly depressing and desperate.
But all this turmoil never reached the Law School.
At this moment, the law school room even seemed much more relaxed than usual. There were no noble gentlemen around to disturb them. The old man who delivered the meal was trembling and no longer had the energy to shout as usual.
They can even sneak out and walk around without touching anyone.
Even if they meet someone, they will run away first, and no one will dare to catch them and question them loudly.
It was not until the heavy collision of armor and footsteps of Xianbei soldiers sounded from a distance that the comfort of the law school room was broken.
They are here.
