Chapter 179 The ruthless general - Leng Jinse 10
"One of them is that if a person is abducted and sold, it is not a crime to massacre the entire village. Do you understand?" Xihe asked with a smile.
"I understand, your servant understands." Chai Yuying's eyes showed a happy smile when she heard it.
"I'm glad you understand." Xihe gestured to Fengqi: "Give her a dagger."
"Yes, master." Feng Qi handed the dagger in his hand to Chai Yuying.
"Go!" Xihe gave Chai Yuying an encouraging smile, indicating that she should eliminate her suffering.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chai Yuying saluted Xihe, then rushed towards the man on the ground with a dagger tightly grasped.
One knife, two knives... every knife cut into the bone, and the man screamed in pain.
His shrill screams also scared the people around him, and some people even showed a look of satisfaction on their faces.
Some people couldn't bear it and wanted to say a few words for the man.
"You are too vicious. He is your man after all..." As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled out by the female soldier who came from behind Xihe.
"Are you related?" Xihe asked coldly.
"Nothing."
"Are you also a beneficiary like him?"
"No, no, no, that's not the case. I married my wife in a formal ceremony." The man in blue looked at the female soldier with a knife and was so scared that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
"You have no relatives or friends. Are you here to show off your eloquence?"
"No, no, no, I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again..." The man in blue shook his head like a rattle.
"If you don't have any, then keep your mouth shut. You don't have the right to speak for everything."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
"They are guilty of both buying and selling. There is no husband-wife relationship between them. What they have is hatred." Xihe's cold gaze swept over the crowd, and they couldn't help but take a big step back.
"Dad, son..." The man was killed and his body was stabbed into holes.
When his family saw his miserable condition, they immediately burst into tears.
Hearing their shouts, Chai Yuying became even more excited. She pulled out a dagger and pointed it at them.
With each blow, they were chopped to pieces, and soon they all died in front of Chai Yuying.
The two children didn't dare to shout anymore. They looked at Chai Yuying, who was covered in blood, with horror on their faces.
"Puff puff..." Chai Yuying did not let them go, she stabbed them directly.
"You are not my children, no, no..." They are all dead. Chai Yuying fell to the ground and burst into tears.
"They are not your children, and they don't deserve to be your children. Don't feel burdened." Xihe came to her and whispered.
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty..." Chai Yuying knelt down directly in front of Xihe.
"Please stand up, Miss Chai. You are very brave and you are great." Xihe helped her up and comforted her with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
……
Xihe did this to make an example of someone else. She looked at the faces of the people around her and knew that today's killing had worked.
She also had the bodies of those people dragged to the mass grave and not allowed them to be buried.
When the tribesmen saw Xihe, they no longer dared to make a fuss. They huddled in a corner and didn't even dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, your dagger." Chai Yuying wiped the dagger on her body and handed it to Xihe with both hands.
"Take it for self-defense!" Xihe smiled and did not take it back.
Chai Yuying hurriedly put the dagger into her sleeve, and when she looked up again, Xihe had already left.
The others looked at the bloodstains on the ground, dared not say anything, and left the scene directly.
"What are you doing?" Lord Chai asked coldly when he saw his clansmen appear again.
"Now that no one supports her, let's discuss where she should go!" Because they were far away, they did not hear Lord Chai and the others address Xihe, otherwise they would not dare to bring up that topic again.
"Do you know this word?" Chai Yuying handed the dagger in her hand to the patriarch and asked coldly.
The patriarch looked at the dagger and saw only one word engraved on it - cold.
The patriarch's lips trembled as he tore off his beard. Women, laws, cold words...
That…that, that, that’s His Majesty! His legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground.
"Anything else?" asked Lord Chai with a serious face.
"No, no, no, no. Let's go now, let's go now..." After the patriarch said this, he took his people and left the Chai Mansion.
"Chief, are we really not going to care anymore?" someone asked on the road.
"You're stupid! His Majesty is clearly trying to make an example of someone. Do you want to be the first to make an example?"
"No..." Everyone shook their heads.
"That's it, let's go quickly and stop making trouble."
"Yes, patriarch."
……
"Grandfather, I want to join the army." Chai Yuying knelt down as soon as she returned to the mansion.
"Okay, go ahead!" Lord Chai agreed immediately after hearing that.
The others also understood what she was thinking, and no one spoke out to stop her.
The next day, Chai Yuying left home carrying a bag and the dagger given by Feng Qi.
……
After Xihe returned to the palace, he immediately issued an order for officials from all regions to thoroughly investigate the human trafficking within their jurisdiction.
Subsequently, several imperial envoys were sent to conduct secret visits. If any local officials were found to be covering up the crime, they would be directly detained.
For example, if the whole village relies on trafficking to marry women, and those who are trafficked are rescued, the whole village will be massacred and no one in the village will be able to breathe.
When human traffickers are caught, they will be cut into pieces and their bodies will be chopped into pieces and thrown into the cesspool.
Severe punishments are needed in troubled times, and severe penalties are also needed to crack down on human traffickers.
Looking at the carrier pigeon in front of him, Xihe's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
Because there are too many cases of trafficking, basically women and children are involved, and adult women are sold as wives or concubines.
Boys were bought by childless families to carry on the family line, and some good-looking girls were sold to brothels.
Some were directly raised and trained by those people and given away as gifts.
Xihe directly ordered the massacre, resulting in the bloodstains in the vegetable markets everywhere for half a year.
In some places, there was a shortage of officials to be killed, and it was not the end of the matter just because they were dead. Xihe directly wrote the reasons for their deaths in their resumes and posted them on the wall for people to see.
This is a cruel move! Even in death, they won't be able to rest in peace.
Killing cruelly will also be effective. Even those who do evil will have to test their bodies to see if they can withstand those sharp knives.
Xihe not only ordered people to kill them, but also sent people to dig up their ancestral graves and demolish their ancestral halls.
Afterwards, monuments and statues were erected at city gates in various places to make them despised by the world.
The effect is remarkable. The country has become much more peaceful and human trafficking is now a thing of the past.
……
After things settled down, Xihe began to train a successor.
She took a fancy to her eldest brother's eldest granddaughter. After she brought the little girl into the palace, Feng Qi taught her directly.
After the little girl finished her apprenticeship, Xihe passed the throne to her directly.
And taught her that if she wanted to maintain her status as a woman, she could only be an empress in the future.
Because the little girl was taken by Feng Qi to visit many places among the people, and she also knew the lifestyles of many people.
