Chapter 124 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
This night may be the most frightening night in this life for the people on these two streets.
The border garrison drove the people from two streets out of the yard and stood in rows on both sides of the street.
General Shen raised his long sword and, in front of them, beheaded a man who hesitated when answering the cross-examination on the spot.
Blood sprayed on the stone pavement of the main street, and the smell of blood in the air made several people nearby gag on the spot.
This move scared the chickens and scared the monkeys, so that everyone fell to their knees, crying and begging for injustice.
Shen Yu's blade was still dripping with blood, "I'll give you three breaths. If you don't tell me the truth, all of you... will end up like him!"
Upon hearing this, the kneeling people began to kowtow.
Shen Yu had a sullen face, unmoved, and just began to count down indifferently, "Three..."
Maybe he was really scared.
From the beginning, the people begged for mercy, and gradually began to expose each other's shortcomings and question each other.
"Liu San, is it you? Yesterday I saw you sneakily picking up the wall of the house next door."
"Li Er, just admit it, you were the one who stole Lao Zhou's chicken this morning!"
Such things are all trivial matters.
Shen Yu's expression became even colder, and his sharp gaze swept over.
"Two..."
Seeing that the time left for them is getting less and less, the accusations among the people are becoming more intense.
"Which of the Thousand Swordsmen is a spy? I beg you, just come forward and admit it. If you don't come out, we will all die!"
"That's right, we have been neighbors for many years. Even if you don't care about us, you still have a family, right?"
"Are you going to watch your family die with you?"
The people almost collapsed and hugged their families around them. The scene was chaotic and sad for a while.
Governor Wu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, with cold sweat pouring out of his forehead.
These are two streets with hundreds of people.
While wiping his cold sweat, he went to persuade Shen Yu in a low voice.
"General Shen, don't be impulsive. Even if there are spies here, you can't kill all the people, right?"
"The reputation you have accumulated over many years of fighting cannot be destroyed in one day!"
"For the sake of a woman, if you commit massacre of people, the Holy Spirit will definitely not spare you lightly if he finds out!"
"Even Prince Anding's Mansion will definitely be affected. Think of the prince and the old lady of the General's Mansion..."
Wu Taishou was almost speechless, but Shen Yu didn't react at all.
He just asked angrily.
"Yes, I have been fighting for many years, going through fire and water for the imperial court, and my life and death have been on the line countless times. I cannot be called disloyal or courageous, but..."
Shen Yu's eyes were dark, as if he was mocking himself or questioning.
"I can't even protect a woman! If something happens to her, what's the use of these false names?"
His words shocked everyone around him.
Not to mention other people, even Shen Yu himself was frightened?
Even he himself didn't expect that there would be times when he would be so angry that he would become a beauty.
He raised the long knife, and the blood on the blade flowed down and fell on his fingers, leaving a dazzling red patch.
The soldiers of the border city garrison also raised their swords.
Under every sword, there is an innocent person.
As long as Shen Yu gives an order, hundreds of people will fall to the ground.
Cold-blooded.
brutal.
crazy.
The right of life and death of the superior to the inferior is vividly demonstrated. Shen Yuqing raised his head and roared: "Three..."
Seeing that he was about to drop the long knife, everyone took a breath, and even the timid ones closed their eyes in fear.
Suddenly, a trembling figure stood out.
"Yes, it's me..."
When Shen Yuxun passed by, he saw an unremarkable face.
It was a young man with an apron tied around his waist.
Someone had sharp eyes and recognized him immediately.
"Isn't he a guy from the medical clinic? How could it be him?"
"It turns out it's him. It's not surprising if it's him. You don't know that he came from a border town to escape, and everyone in his family was killed by the Mobei people."
"A few days ago, he asked a matchmaker to marry the pig butcher's daughter. The pig butcher thought he was poor and asked him to prepare a hundred taels of silver before he would marry his daughter."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"He must have taken the risk and became a spy because of money."
I have to say that the power of the masses is great.
Everyone's words to each other actually accurately restored the whole story of the medical clinic clerk's betrayal of Wen Wan's whereabouts.
Shen Yu walked up to the medical clinic clerk with a long knife in hand and put the knife on his neck.
The clerk at the medical clinic was shaking with fear and crying with snot and tears.
"General Shen, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
"You are the great hero who protects the border town, and the great general who kills the Mobei people to avenge us!"
"If I had known that Miss Xiaowan was your crush, I wouldn't have dared to do it, let alone a hundred taels, even a thousand taels or ten thousand taels."
Shen Yu had read countless people, so he could naturally see that the medical clerk's words came from the bottom of his heart.
However, after everything has been done, these words have become meaningless.
"Say! Who did you sell the information to?"
The clerk at the medical clinic didn't dare to delay any longer, "Yes, it's the boss of Wuyue Book Store."
"Master Wuyue? It's him!"
Shen Yu's pupils shrank, "How did he escape with his people?"
The clerk at the medical clinic did not dare to hide it, "In the alley next to the medical clinic, there is a tunnel that I dug out over the past few days. The other end of the tunnel leads to the backyard of the medical clinic. From the backyard, there is South Street."
Hearing this, Shen Yu's hand holding the knife trembled, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes turned scarlet.
"Shanshui, you lead people to deal with the aftermath."
After he gave the order, he put down his sword, got on his horse, and led a team of light cavalry towards the hospital.
After Shen Yu left, Shanshui celebrities took the medical clerk into custody.
Wu Taishou came to Shanshui aggressively and pointed at the body lying on the ground in the distance.
"Captain Shanshui, these are ordinary people who were killed by General Shen. How do you want me to explain to the people? How to explain to the court?"
Wu Taishou did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Shen Yu, but in front of the mountains and rivers, he regained his style as a border town governor.
Shanshui saw how he bullied the weak and feared the strong, and said disdainfully: "Why don't you dare to say this to the general?"
"..." Governor Wu cleared his throat, "Anyway, we can't just let this matter go! I am the governor of a border town, and you are killing innocent people indiscriminately under my nose. I must report this matter to the court!"
Shan Shui was not at all intimidated by Wu Taishou's bravado.
He sneered, strode to the corpse, bent down to pick up the fallen head, and then brought the head back to Taishou Wu.
Shan Shui slapped his bloody head in front of Prefect Wu.
"You said these are innocent people?"
Wu Taishou was so frightened by him that he backed away repeatedly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the face of the head clearly.
Shan Shui's tone was very calm, "This is a death row prisoner on death row. He was originally scheduled to be executed tomorrow. The general just sent him on his way in advance. Our general will personally execute the execution for the executioner. Does Governor Wu have any objections?"
