Chapter 1431 Blood Debt Paid with Blood, Fighting Evil with Evil
The two hundred city guards had to stop their advance in the face of the long sword that fell from the sky.
The warning sound came from nowhere, but the two hundred people present heard it very clearly.
The leader, after being frightened, showed anger on his face, staring at the long sword nailed to the ground with his eyes constantly changing.
He didn't speak, and his men stared at him, waiting for his decision.
The commander hesitated for a moment, thinking about why he came here. If he left just because he saw a sword and heard a warning, it would be difficult to explain afterwards.
"One person step forward."
The order was given, but no one responded. The commander was furious and pointed at a person behind him, ordering him to step forward. The soldier didn't dare to disobey the order and could only step forward carefully.
The soldier slowly came to the side of the sword. He didn't even know who the enemy was, but the deterrent power of the flying sword was too great, and the warning was still in his ears. How could he not be nervous?
He took a breath and raised his foot to cross the sword, but at the moment he crossed the sword, the expression on his face had not changed in time, and suddenly his body exploded and turned into a blood mist.
This sudden scene scared the city guards, especially the leader, who was still in shock and full of fear.
Fortunately, he was more stable and asked his men to explore first. If he rushed over rashly, he would be the one to die.
The deputy general beside him whispered: "Sir, how about we rush over together?"
The commander said coldly: "Okay, you will lead."
This sentence directly silenced the deputy general, and after a long time he said again: "Then let's change direction?"
"Change shit, I don't want to die yet."
The commander's face was fierce, and he shouted. He was ordered to help Huang Shilang's family out of siege, but he didn't think of sacrificing his life.
In this situation, they had not even seen anyone, but there were already casualties. If they continued to move forward, who knows what would happen, so he made a decisive decision.
Nothing is more important than his own life.
Moreover, he had a reason. He was stopped by a mysterious master, right? Everyone can testify for him.
In front of Huang Shilang's mansion, Zhou Chen was the one who just swung a sword. After killing the chicken to scare the monkey, he didn't care anymore and looked at the people from the three families who were kneeling in a group.
"Those three people, pull them out."
Suddenly, the three young masters who harmed the daughter of the old Dou family were brought out.
Huang Chengyun, Wei Chi, Ma Wei, these three young masters are the culprits who harmed the old Dou family. If they hadn't harmed the old Dou family's daughter, there would be no tragedy later.
Zhou Chen walked to the coffin of the youngest daughter of the Dou family, and Huang Chengyun and the other three young masters were also pulled here and pressed to kneel on the ground by the Star Guards.
Zhou Chen looked at them coldly and said, "I am a fair person. The daughter of the Dou family was insulted by you, so I will give you a chance. Kneel down and kowtow. As long as she says she forgives you, I can spare your life."
The three young masters, who were already frightened, were stunned when they heard Zhou Chen's words.
How can they forgive them when they are dead?
But Zhou Chen did not give them any room to refuse and ordered the Star Guard.
"If they are unwilling to cooperate, then you can help them and kowtow, unless Miss Dou says she forgives them in person, otherwise."
"Knock to death."
The Star Guard did not say anything and directly followed Zhou Chen's order to execute it. He held down the heads of the three young masters Huang Weima and smashed them to the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The Star Guard showed these three people what it means to kowtow to the ground and ask for forgiveness. Their foreheads hit the ground, making a clanging sound, accompanied by miserable begging for mercy.
After just a few kowtows, the three people's foreheads were already stained red with blood, and the ground was also stained red, but the Xingwei still had no intention of stopping. They were like machines, executing Zhou Chen's orders. If Miss Dou didn't speak, they would kowtow to death.
The people of the three families of Huang, Wei and Ma were all frightened by the bloody scene, especially the women, who were terrified and hugged each other for warmth, as if this would make them feel better.
As for the other men, many of them shouted and cursed loudly, but they were slapped hard by the Xingwei for just one curse. The scene was bloody and chaotic, full of all kinds of shouting and screaming.
"Too noisy!"
Zhou Chen said, and someone immediately stepped forward to take action. The people who just shouted were silenced by the beating, and the three young men who kowtowed were also pinched and could only make weak sounds.
"Huang Shilang, Wei Yushi, Ma Langzhong, right?"
As he named the three people, the Xingwei pulled them from the crowd to the front of the crowd and knelt in front of the ten coffins.
"Have you seen these coffins? Because of your son, a family of ten was brutally exterminated. As an official appointed by the court, you eat and drink from the people, and finally take his life. Is this your way of being an official?"
"Woo, woo..."
The three officials struggled hard, but because their mouths were blocked, they could only make whimpering sounds, and their faces were full of fear and anxiety.
But Zhou Chen didn't want to listen to their sophistry at all, and continued to talk.
"Of course, you can educate such a son, and I guess you are not much better. I am not an official, and I will not punish you according to the law. For people like you, forgiveness and repentance are not acceptable to me, so blood debts must be paid with blood."
Tong Quan behind him suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Master, those three beasts can't hold on anymore?"
Zhou Chen didn't even look at that side, and said coldly: "Don't I understand clearly? If Miss Dou doesn't forgive, they will kowtow to death. If they die, their bodies will be thrown to the dogs. Go back and have someone make three statues of them kneeling and kowtowing in their image, and put them in front of Miss Dou's tomb, and continue to kowtow."
"Woo, woo..."
After hearing this, Huang Shilang and the other two whimpered again. Obviously, they couldn't accept Zhou Chen's vicious behavior to hurt their son, but Zhou Chen didn't care whether they accepted it or not.
Zhou Chen looked at them and said coldly: "This is just a punishment for the three of them, but the lives of the three of them are not enough to pay for the lives of the ten people in Lao Dou's family."
"I am a fair person. Since you have killed ten people in Lao Dou's family, you should give them twenty lives. There are more than forty blood relatives in your three families. I only want your twenty lives. I won't destroy the family. Obviously, you have made a profit."
"Woo woo..."
The eyes of Huang Shilang and the other two were red with excitement. The three families of Huang Wei and Ma were even more frightened and trembling when they heard Zhou Chen's words.
At this point, they still don't understand the situation. These people are bold and powerful, and they cover the sky with one hand. They have not seen any of the rescue they long for. How can they not feel desperate?
"I said, I am fair. I won't choose the twenty lives. Let you three heads of the family choose for yourselves."
Zhou Chen gestured, and the things in Huang Shilang's mouths were taken out, and they were finally able to speak.
"You..."
Wei Yushi was about to curse, but was slapped to the ground. Huang Shilang and Ma Langzhong were so scared that they were forced to swallow the words that were just on their lips.
"If you say one more word of nonsense or curse one more time, you will lose another life. I want to see if you care about the lives of your relatives."
Huang Shilang and Ma Langzhong were so scared that they dared not speak. On the contrary, Wei Yushi, who was knocked to the ground, seemed to be crazy. He ignored the threats and cursed.
"You bastard..."
"I keep my word, Sun Yi."
Sun Yi immediately walked into the crowd and pulled out a man from Wei Yushi's family. He ignored the other party's pleas for mercy, raised his knife and cut the body in two.
"Heng'er..."
Wei Yushi widened his eyes and looked at this scene in disbelief. He rolled and crawled to the body of his son, hugged his son's mutilated body, and cried loudly.
He was covered in blood and glared at Zhou Chen viciously.
"Traitor, you bastard, you killed people in the street. I will report you to His Majesty."
"Are you cursing again?"
Sun Yi walked towards Wei Yushi's family again and saw the bloody scene with his own eyes. Several women were frightened and fainted. Seeing the 'devil' coming to arrest people again, they screamed and begged for mercy again. Many people were even frightened and incontinent. The stench was everywhere, but they couldn't care about these now.
Ignoring the woman's screams and pleas for mercy, Sun Yi pulled her to the front and cut her down again in front of Wei Yushi.
"Ah, Xuan'er..."
A son and a daughter were killed in succession, and they were killed so bloodily in front of him. Wei Yushi collapsed, really collapsed.
He knelt down in the direction of Zhou Chen and kowtowed continuously.
"I'm sorry, we were wrong, I'm sorry, kill me, let them go, please, kill me, let my family go, they are all innocent, please..."
Zhou Chen shook his head: "Lao Dou's family is also innocent, what did they do wrong? It's useless to kowtow to me, kowtow to them, as long as one of them says to let your family go, I will agree."
He didn't want to play with people's lives, but for the villains, only by dealing with them in this way can he understand what blood debts must be paid with blood.
Wei Yushi collapsed, he collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, his eyes were dull, and he murmured: "Kill me, let me die, let me die..."
Huang Shilang and Ma Langzhong trembled all over, Wei Yushi's collapse seemed to let them see themselves, this person was too terrible, this was not revenge at all, it was to torture them, in front of everyone, torture them, there was no room for easing at all.
Zhou Chen said in a cold tone: "You are a court official, I will not kill you, or as I said just now, twenty lives, you three families discuss who lives and who dies, I only want twenty lives, when this number is reached, the rest of the people can live."
This sentence seemed to turn on a switch, and the extremely frightened Huang Shilang and Ma Langzhong, including the mentally collapsed Wei Yushi, suddenly stopped.
As for the people of the three families, they all looked at the three masters, as if they were shouting.
"Master, I don't want to die."
"Dad, save me, save me, it's the third brother's fault, why should our family suffer, let the third brother and his family die, let them die."
"Master, our child is only one year old, please save him, save him..."
"Dad, I haven't got married yet, Dad, please let me live, I want to live."
"I want to live too, big brother, don't implicate me for the bad things your son did, I'm innocent..."
"Dad..."
"..."
At this moment, in front of the Huang Mansion, it was even more chaotic than the execution in the vegetable market.
For the people of the three families, no one wanted to die, and most of them even hated Huang Chengyun and the other two. If it weren't for them, how could they fall into such a miserable situation.
Looking at Huang Chengyun's three sons, only Huang Chengyun was still breathing and was being forced to kowtow. The other two were already dead, but they were still in the kowtow position.
Obviously, the Dou family girl did not forgive them.
Huang Shilang and the other two were desperate at this time. Facing the pleas and questions of their family members, as the heads of the family, they felt the horror of their family members for the first time. They were not so scared in the turbulent court, but at this moment, they were really scared, trembling, and terrified.
"I don't choose, I don't choose, kill me, let me die."
Doctor Ma also collapsed. They were all his beloved relatives. How could he choose? He couldn't choose.
But the first to get angry was not Zhou Chen, but Ma Langzhong's family members. They roared at Ma Langzhong angrily, wanting Ma Langzhong to choose someone else.
Because they have seen the situation clearly. If Doctor Ma does not choose, they may all die. If Doctor Ma chooses, although his relatives will die, at least he still has a chance to live.
It is easy to choose who to live, but it is really difficult to choose who to die. At this time, Huang Shilang and the other two are all experiencing such torture.
In the end, Huang Shilang was the most courageous and took the lead in choosing one person, but what everyone did not expect was that he chose not his own family, but Ma Langzhong's family.
"You said to choose someone, but you didn't say you must choose family members. I choose them, I choose them."
Zhou Chen was also surprised. This Huang Shilang was really black-bellied. He could even do such a thing, but he soon laughed. Now it was interesting.
The first one to get angry was Ma Langzhong. Damn it, he himself was reluctant to choose, and this damn thing Huang Shilang actually chose to let his family die, so he didn't care what the situation was now, and rushed up to wrestle Huang Shilang.
Not only Doctor Ma, but also Doctor Ma's family members were also angry. They rushed to the family members of Minister Huang and started beating them. The scene instantly became a mess.
"This?"
No one expected that the scene would become so funny, including those who were following and monitoring in the dark.
Originally, they were all shocked by Zhou Chen's ruthless means of revenge, but no one expected that such a thing would happen, which made this bloody scene more funny.
"Master?"
Sun Yi was also stunned and asked Zhou Chen for instructions.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's very interesting, isn't it? Let them fight. If you want to delay time, let's see who will come to rescue them first. I am also looking forward to it."
Sun Yi was stunned: "Did they do it on purpose?"
"Otherwise, these three people have been in the officialdom for so many years. They can see that today can't be settled peacefully. They can only use this method. Let them perform and watch the show."
Sun Yi's face under the mask was full of coldness. He thought that Minister Huang and his men were really collapsed. He didn't expect that at this time, there would be such calculations. These court officials are really insidious.
Tong Quan whispered in Zhou Chen's ear: "Mister Huang is the second prince's man, Master, will the second prince come?"
"Who knows?"
Zhou Chen didn't care. He was not surprised whether the second prince Li Chengze came or not.
On one side was the Grand Master, and on the other side was the Minister of Justice under his command. Normally, the second prince would not come.
But the problem is that the people in Kyoto are used to being high and mighty. They have not really seen the power of the Grand Master. Perhaps in many people's minds, no matter how powerful the Grand Master is, he is just a warrior, and it is normal for warriors to serve the powerful.
The Grand Master is noble, but the royal family is also noble. Didn't you see that the 'Grand Master' Hong Sixiang Hong Gonggong in the palace, isn't he also a slave of the emperor and the empress dowager?
Zhou Chen knew very well that in the eyes of those royal families, they might be in awe of the Grand Master, but they thought that the royal bloodline was more noble. The reason is that they have not really seen the horror of the Grand Master.
On the contrary, Emperor Qing, as a Grandmaster, knows more about Grandmasters, and can even be said to be more ‘afraid’ of them, because only he, as a Grandmaster, truly understands how terrifying Grandmasters are.
Why did Emperor Qing study arrowheads in the palace for so many years? It was because he had seen the terrifying lethality of Barrett. Even if he became a Grandmaster, he still couldn't erase his fear of Barrett, so he wanted to create a bulletproof vest that could defend against the hidden weapon ‘Barrett’.
Zhou Chen not only wanted revenge today, but also wanted to establish his authority, so he was looking forward to the arrival of the second prince Li Chengze. How could the three families of Huang Shilang compare to the prince?
