Li Wentai and more than 20 of his confidants rode on horseback, driving more than 800 people through the endless desolate wilderness.
According to Wei Lin's wishes, the more than 800 people were first sent to Zhezhou for temporary resettlement, and then people were sent to Beijing to inform Emperor Zhu Sheng of the details, and Zhu Sheng decided what to do with the more than 800 people in the end.
But Li Wentai had his own thoughts in his heart.
As far as Li Wentai is concerned, although Wei Lin discovered the prostitute camp, Wei Lin came to Qingzhou alone without any envoys accompanying him. In other words, the only witness was Wei Lin himself, and the Aishan cave used as physical evidence had been burned down. As long as more than 800 people were dealt with, the matter would be over.
At that time, all he could do was argue that Wei Lin was asking for a bribe, and he became so angry that he framed himself. When all personal and material evidence had been destroyed, it was impossible for the emperor to convict himself based solely on the testimony of Wei Lin.
After all, Li Wentai is Chang Gaoyuan's brother-in-law. As long as the evidence is not irrefutable, the emperor must take care of Chang Gaoyuan's face.
In this way, as long as it is delayed for a while, this matter will probably become a big deal and become a trivial matter.
Having served in the army in Qingzhou for many years, Li Wentai knew the surrounding terrain very well. About five miles further ahead, there is a valley, which is suitable for killing people and destroying corpses and traces.
"Speed up."
After deducing this idea several times in his mind and making sure it was foolproof, Li Wentai, who was sitting on the horse, urged loudly.
Under the threat of swords, bows and crossbows, the team of more than 800 people gradually accelerated their pace and soon entered the valley. The boys and girls gathered to rest on the flat ground in the middle of the valley, and Li Wentai led people at the mouth of the valley.
The sergeants escorting this time were all Li Wentai's confidants, so Li Wentai did not mince words and stated his plan straightforwardly, and the sergeants had no objections.
But how to do it is still a problem.
Even if there are more than 800 pieces of wood, it is not an easy task for more than 20 people to chop them down, not to mention that they are not wood, but more than 800 living people.
The reason for being obedient during the escort was because they were afraid of being beaten and afraid of death. But the energy that more than 800 people burst out at the time of life and death should not be underestimated.
However, the reason why Li Wentai chose this valley was naturally because he had already thought of a plan in his mind.
Immediately, he ordered some people to stay at the mouth of the valley to prevent people inside from escaping, while others went to collect wood from the surrounding area.
At that time, you only need to pile up enough wood at the mouth of the valley, set a fire, and use the wind to blow the burning smoke into the valley. The thick smoke can kill some man-made disasters, and those who are lucky enough to survive will be killed. He didn't have much strength, so he only needed one more knife to clear it up, and finally set a fire to destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces.
A rather vicious and cruel killing method, but also extremely effective.
It seems that in Li Wentai's eyes, the 800 people in the valley are not the subjects of the empire that he protects, nor are they even human beings. They are just more than 800 animals that can be killed and robbed.
It's just a pity that the money spent on buying someone is all because Wei Lin ruined his good deeds.
I'm afraid there will be no way for the sergeants to vent in the near future, and I don't know if it will affect morale and lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness. However, at this time, the demons were busy harvesting fodder for cattle and sheep for the winter. According to the rules of previous years, there would usually only be a few small-scale conflicts in the next month. Major battles usually don't happen until the first snow falls.
The sergeants split up and Li Wentai found a flat stone to sit down and rest with his eyes closed.
I was busy all night last night and was really tired.
I just had some pajamas, but my chest felt cold, and then severe pain hit me.
Li Wentai was shocked and wanted to roll to dodge and shout for help, but his body couldn't exert any strength.
puff!
The trachea was punctured, and blood poured down the wound into the trachea, then flowed upstream and spurted out from the mouth and nose.
"Do you know why the Zajia family didn't just kill you?"
A familiar voice rang in his ears, Li Wentai didn't dare
His eyes widened in belief.
Wei...Wei Lin!
Why is this castrate here?
Why did he want to kill himself?
"How can I say that the Zajia is already very old and has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. How can you hide it from the Zajia with your little tricks?"
Wei Lin, who emerged from the ground like a ghost, stood closely behind Li Wentai. Using his body to block the sight of the sergeants guarding the entrance of the valley, Wei Lin inserted a dagger into Li Wentai's back until the handle was gone.
"Why...why...why..."
Li Wentai asked in a weak voice through his teeth while coughing up blood.
"Didn't the Zajia say that they learned some things from Uncle Fencheng when they were in Kyoto? Hehe, but they didn't tell them all at the time. In addition to learning some superficial skills in detecting and handling cases, the Zajia also learned from Uncle Fencheng. When it comes to the majesty of the law, it cannot be offended.
And don’t forget, the Zajia are still working for the Ji Xian Division, and the skills they practice are the God-catching techniques created by Catching Gods. How can one become a monk of the Jixian Division if one does not have awe of the law in his heart. You have killed so many people of Dayan, and caused so many people to have their families destroyed. Li Wentai, Li Wentai, you really deserve to die!
It's a pity that the Zajia family is concerned about the overall situation and cannot follow the law to put you, the evil thief, in jail and set the punishment standard. You can only use this shady method to give an explanation to those who were killed by you. "
Wei Lin gritted her teeth and said in Li Wentai's ear.
"Kill... kill me... you won't... be afraid..."
"Did it trigger a mutiny in Qingzhou Camp? That's why the Zajia family designed to trick you out. The soldiers at Xuanhuang Pass saw with their own eyes that the Zajia family went back to their tents to sleep. The Zajia family had no chance to kill anyone. And Zhang Hua can testify, The Zajia family has been trying to find ways to cover up this matter for you, so that there is no motive for the murder.
Besides, you are not the only one in the world who destroys corpses and eliminates traces. Dig a hole and bury a few people anywhere in the wilderness here. Even if the gods come, they won't be able to find them. If you can't find the body, you can't be sure whether you are dead or alive. Maybe you absconded out of fear of crime. "
Li Wentai had a look of horror on his face when he heard this.
"How is it? Do you regret it? Are you scared that you are going to die soon? Does the wound hurt?"
Wei Lin turned the dagger and cut out a large piece of flesh and blood from Li Wentai's back.
Of course Li Wentai was in pain. The pain made him twitch all over and couldn't breathe. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the fear in my heart.
Murder and heart-wrenching!
Kill people and kill your heart!
As a direct descendant of the dignified Li family in Tongzhou, Li Wentai could have lived a life of prosperity and wealth without any worries, but why did he come to a bitter and cold place like Qingzhou to suffer?
Just because he was unwilling to waste his life and wanted to do something earth-shattering.
Originally, the best choice was to enter Shushan, but Li Wentai had no talent for cultivation. Even so, Shushan was still willing to accept Li Wentai for the sake of the Li family in Tongzhou.
In fact, as long as they are willing to spend resources, even a fool can draw spiritual energy into the body to complete the foundation building. However, due to the limitations of his talent and bones, the seventh level of the Human Realm is already the limit of his cultivation, and he is destined to be unable to reach higher levels throughout his life.
Most of the children of wealthy families are proud and arrogant, and would rather be the head of the family than the tail of the phoenix, and Li Wentai thinks the same way.
Since there is no hope in practicing cultivation, let’s leave our name in history.
If you want to leave a name in history, being an official is naturally your first choice.
After weighing for a long time between being a civil servant or a military general, Li Wentai finally decided to join his brother-in-law Chang Gaoyuan and come to the frontier to make contributions.
Dayan's court is now a stagnant water, and the whole day is spent either in party squabbles or in blame-shifting, which is neither interesting nor meaningful.
It is still bordering the demon clan, and there are more opportunities at the border where wars of all sizes occur all year round.
After several years of hard work, although he is now somewhat famous, it is still far from Li Wentai's expectations.
This time, my brother-in-law was secretly recalled to Kyoto by the emperor. Obviously, he wanted to make a big move. This was also an excellent opportunity for Li Wentai.
The only great opportunity in this life is right in front of me, but I have to bury my body in the wilderness!
How can Li Wentai, who has suffered for many years, accept this and be willing to do so? ..
But at this moment, there is no chance or right to choose.
"Ah~"
Li Wentai let out an unwilling roar.
The roar alerted the soldiers guarding the entrance of the valley. Wei Lin stopped talking nonsense and cut Li Wentai's heart with a dagger, sending him to the west.
Several soldiers came to kill them with knives, but Wei Lin showed no mercy at all and beat them all to death with one palm.
"That's all the Zajia can do. I hope it can alleviate some of your grievances and go to the next world to be reincarnated."
Wei Lin muttered a few words in a low voice while facing the direction of the short mountain, and then stepped into the valley.
The more than 800 people gathered in the valley didn't know what was happening outside, and they all looked frightened when they saw Wei Lin approaching with murderous intent.
Bang, bang, bang.
Wei Lin threw several swords and crossbow arrows picked up from Li Wentai and the soldiers into the open space in front of the crowd.
"Li Wentai's evil deeds were exposed, and he wanted to burn you all to death in the valley in order to destroy the evidence. Although Li Wentai has been executed, there are still more than a dozen of his confidants who are about to return. Everything that can be done has been done. It's up to you to decide whether you want to live or die next."
After saying that, Wei Lin turned around and walked out of the valley, quickly disappearing.
After all, they were boys and girls who had never seen the world, and they had been bullied for a long time, and they suddenly became a mess.
Some people knelt down and cried loudly, some shouted hysterically, and most people swarmed towards the mouth of the valley, trying to escape before the soldiers who collected the wood came back.
Whoosh whoosh!
More than a dozen crossbow arrows struck with a sharp sound of piercing the air. The ten people running at the front were pierced by the crossbow arrows and fell to the ground wailing and died miserably.
The soldiers who collected wood came back early.
"Ah~"
The crowd immediately screamed and retreated into the valley. The people who had fallen behind became obstacles and were knocked down by the crowd that came back. The trampled people were bloody and inhuman.
