An hour later.
Heavenly prison.
Outside a spacious, bright, clean and tidy cell.
Qin Yuan looked inside to see the person to be recorded today - Yu Xian, the former governor of Qingzhou.
He looks middle-aged, has fair skin, and is slightly chubby. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary teacher.
In fact, he was a ruthless character. Ten years ago, when he was the magistrate of Cao County, he united with local powerful people and killed more than 2,000 farmers who could not survive to resist taxes in three months.
Someone from the Zuo History Academy summarized the secret of Yu Xian's promotion in one word: kill.
Qin Yuan took a step forward and said respectfully: "I have met Master Yu."
"Are you from that yamen?"
Yu Xian raised his head and said in surprise.
"Records of Zuo Shiyuan"
"oh"
Yu Xian's reaction was dull.
Others are afraid of the pen in the historian's hand, but he is not. Otherwise, so many people would have been killed.
In his opinion, as long as he has wealth and wealth, he can laugh and scold him.
Wait for the jailer to open the cell and put down the table and chairs.
Qin Yuan asked the first question: "I heard that when Master Yu was the magistrate of Cao County, he killed more than two thousand people in three months."
"More than two thousand clay legs"
Yu Xian said very contemptuously.
In his world, Guan and Nijizi are two completely different creatures, one is in the clouds, and the other is as low as the earth.
If the mud-legged ones don't obey, they'll kill them until they obey.
Qin Yuan specially checked Yu Xian before he came. His ancestors were also mud-legged. He followed Qi Jin, the great ancestor of the Hun Dynasty, to enter the customs, and then he turned around and became a master.
With a slight smile, Qin Yuan asked his second question: "Why did Mr. Yu suddenly change the situation to appeasement during the Qingzhou Rebellion?"
Since the invasion of the Haixi countries decades ago, the Western religion, the state religion of the Haixi countries, has also entered the Qing Dynasty.
In recent years, there have been constant conflicts between Western sects and the local sect Huanglian sect.
The imperial court did not want to make the matter a big deal, and its consistent principle was to favor Western religions.
Yu Xian's actions were obviously against the imperial court.
Yu Xian's eyes flickered and he defended: "The chaos in Qingzhou is all the fault of Western religions."
Then he gave a bunch of examples.
In his opinion, Western religions are almost becoming man-eating demons.
Qin Yuan asked a few more detailed questions.
Yu Xian answered one by one.
After walking out of the prison, Qin Yuan was still thinking about Yu Xian.
He is not ruthless towards the common people, he is completely inappropriate and kills at every turn.
When dealing with foreign enemies, he is somewhat rebellious.
What a person is like cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
Returning to Zuo Shiyuan, Qin Yuan searched Yu Xian's past. This guy was nicknamed "Human Slaughter" and he used mass arrests, abuse of torture and mass murder to rule the people. He was accustomed to torture with canes, boards, rolling bars, running iron chains, kneeling with iron caltrops, standing with iron bars, and gas toad (making the victim lie on his back and hitting his stomach with the bar).
But the most outrageous thing is the "standing wooden cage". He placed twelve wooden cages in front of the Yamen. The inner wall of each wooden cage was covered with iron nails. He hung people in the wooden cages, and then put a few bricks under the people's feet, which seemed to be stepping on but not stepping on. In this way, the person cannot move in the cage. If he moves even a little, his body will be stabbed with blood. When the person steps on a brick, a piece will be removed immediately until the person is hanged. People died tragically in wooden cages almost every day.
Furthermore, there was his performance during the Qingzhou Rebellion. He first supported the local Huanglian Sect against the Western Sect.
After being questioned by the court, he turned ruthless and killed Zhu Hongdeng, the great protector of the Huanglian Sect, and nearly a thousand others.
The ruthless nature of politicians is vividly demonstrated.
One month later.
It was a cold windy morning and the ground was covered with yellow and fallen leaves.
At the tofu and Diao Chan stall.
Qin Yuan eats as usual.
A slow motion for the left hand and a slow motion for the right hand.
It's as if the playback speed has been cut in half.
Others eat to eat, but Qin Yuan eats to enjoy life.
For others, time is lost and will never come back, and no one dares to waste a minute.
For Qin Yuan, time is like a bastard.
It's gone today, and it'll pop up again tomorrow.
"Let me tell you a funny story"
Someone next to me said.
Qin Yuan looked over like everyone else.
"Everyone knows Marshal Jiang of the Su Wei Army, right?"
Everyone nodded.
A former rebel leader, he later accepted the imperial edict and became a general of the Su Wei Army.
"Commander Jiang from the Su Wei Army suppressed bandits and captured the bandit leader. He asked him why he rebelled. What do you think the bandit leader said?"
"If you don't rebel, you will die."
Someone whispered.
After speaking, he quickly looked around.
I felt relieved when I found that no one took it seriously.
"The bandit leader said, why did you rebel in the first place?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and laughed full of malice.
Gradually I couldn’t laugh anymore.
At this moment, a muscular man wearing a bamboo hat sat down beside him.
This is the first time.
Qin Yuan couldn't remember how many times he met this man.
Not long after, an unusually powerful group of people passed by guarding a sedan.
This team of people all have bulging temples and are full of energy.
At first glance, he is a master of Lian Jia Gong.
The identity of a person protected by so many experts must not be simple.
The wind ruffled and blew open the thin sedan curtain.
Surprisingly, it was Yu Xian, the former governor of Qingzhou who Qin Yuan had recorded before.
Wearing a brand new official robe, he has obviously been promoted.
Well, Qin Yuan felt that the man's breath was a lot faster.
He came to kill Yu Xian.
This is not seeking death.
The man was about to get up when a hoarse voice sounded in his ear: "Don't move rashly."
The hair on the man's hair stood up and he looked left and right.
His eyes stopped on Qin Yuan for less than a second.
At this moment of delay, Yu Xian has passed.
The man finished the tofu nao in one gulp, put down his money, got up and left.
Walking into a deserted grove, there was a crackling sound. The man grew taller and his face changed.
Qin Yuan, who was hiding in the dark, accidentally stepped on a leaf.
Well, there are things that the Grand Master cannot control.
The man suddenly turned around and said in a stern tone: "Who is it? Come out."
