Chapter 490 The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom
----

"Spare your life with the big sacrifice of wine, spare your life with the big sacrifice of wine, the little people are all for the great cause of the leader, and the little people are all for the great cause of the leader!" Several people were so excited that they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

As a major cult, the Taiping Sect was able to stir up troubles in the nineteen states of Central China despite repeated suppression by the Zhou Dynasty officials. The reason for this was the harsh punishments in the sect.

Under the Taiping Sect's 110 two minor punishments and 21 major punishments, he is a hero of hundreds of refinements. He must be soft when he should be soft, and he must be cowardly when he should be.

No matter how heroic you are, you can make molten iron and cast iron into the hands of the Taiping Cult. Not to mention that these people are just ordinary believers. At most, they have some status among the lower-class believers, and they can fool some ignorant people and women. The people are okay.

In the face of the Taiping Sect's harsh punishments, life is simply worse than death. Compared with the Taiping Sect's previous major punishments, death by a thousand cuts seems a bit too mild.

The sallow-faced man said gloomily: "If I had known today, why would I have violated the edict in the first place, greedy for merit and rashly advanced like this, ruining the master's plan? You should have thought of the severe punishment in the sect."

The Taiping Sect spent a lot of effort and had big plans in Liangzhou this time.It can be said that the land of the ten prefectures in Liangzhou is inevitable, and they are prepared to complete the victory in one battle, leaving no room for Liangzhou officials to react, and brazenly creating an established fact.

After all, Liangzhou is not as good as Youzhou. There are [-] Zhenbei troops stationed in Youzhou, and there is also a Zhenbei general to suppress all dissent.

As for the two highest-ranking people in the Liangzhou military, one is Baozhao from Beiliang, and the other is Wang Taichu from Xiliang. In the eyes of others, both of them are just celestial figures, and their deterrence power is far away. Not as good as General Zhenbei.

However, the plan was not as fast as the change. Before the Taiping Sect could really take any action, the government secret spies discovered the clues. As a result, the Taiping Sect had to rush into action and was immediately suppressed by the government's thunder.

The reason why the government was able to discover the Taiping Sect's hands and feet was because these lower-level instructors acted wantonly and caused too much noise, and they found flaws by following the clues.

When dealing with people who do such bad things, don't talk about cults like the Taiping Sect. Even other forces will not let such people go easily.

The sallow-faced man said coldly: "If you hadn't been greedy for credit and rushed forward, why would our sect have suffered such losses? It's really annoying and hateful that such a big thing happened in the hands of idiots like you."

suddenly!suddenly!suddenly!
The sallow-faced man shook his robe, and thousands of fireflies instantly fell down, touching the bodies of the people who were kowtowing and begging for mercy. The faint blue flames suddenly swallowed up the people.

"Big sacrificial wine, spare your life, spare your life, villain... villain... ah ah ah..." The sallow-faced man looked calmly, watching several people struggling in the blue flames, being engulfed bit by bit by the blue flames, only to There were pieces of shriveled charcoal, and wisps of flames rising and dancing inch by inch.

During the process of being incinerated, several people were in extreme pain. The muscles all over their bodies made crackling sounds, and the veins all over their bodies suddenly popped out.

However, in this wing, there seemed to be a huge pressure in front of them, pressing down on several people, preventing them from making any movements, and letting them scream in pain in the room, but outside the room. But it remained silent.

The sallow-faced man seemed to be intoxicated by the wails of several people. There was a look of joy on his face, as if he was talking to himself, and said: "Do you have any instructions from the teacher?****** *Continuing, although the incident in Liangzhou was just a warning, the main strength of the Great Zhou court has been restrained by the Supreme Leader and even several other princes."

"On the surface of Liangzhou, there are only three figures of Liangzhou Prefecture, Xiliang Junmen, and Beiliang Junmen, who are at the level of Grand Masters of Celestial Phantasms. No one from the gods or demons will be able to get away from intervening in Liangzhou's affairs for a while. .”

"This is the opportunity for my religion. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of my religion comes to the world, the Supreme Yellow God will come to heaven and earth. This land of Liangzhou, these nineteen states of Middle Earth, and this entire Fenghuang Realm will all be part of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. We And so on, they will live forever and ever.”

At the same time, the shadow of the man with the sallow face seemed to be distorted. The shadow's mouth slowly opened and closed, and a low voice suddenly echoed around Zhou Za. It was strikingly similar to the voice of the man with the sallow face.

"It's just that that guy Wang Yuan is not like Beiliang's violent summons. He is a powerful character. Since he took charge of the fifth mansion in Xiliang, his power has shocked both the inside and outside, and he has remained motionless for ten years."

The sallow-faced man looked at the ashes at his feet, with a look of disgust on his face, and said: "Although the pillar of the Zhou Dynasty has been fettered, Wang Yuan is sitting in Xiliang. This person has always been unfathomable. If you want to take it, It’s not easy for this person to go under the knife.”

According to the consistent tradition of the Nineteen States of China, anyone with a certain status will have a 'word'.

When Wang Taichu participated in "The Original Chapter of Taishi" and reached the stage of perfection, he took the word "Yuan" as his "character". Therefore, Wang Taichu was also called Wang Yuan by many people.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! If everything in this world were so simple, there wouldn't be a group of people like us!" Amidst the strange laughter, the shadow twisted again, and said with a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Yes... the solutions are always thought up by people. As long as they are human beings, they will have weaknesses. As long as you find Wang Yuan's weaknesses, you may not be able to defeat him."

The sallow-faced man nodded in understanding, with a glint in his eyes that looked extremely frightening, like a wild wolf, with a chilling ferocity.

However, what the sallow-faced man didn't expect was that Wang Taichu's decisiveness and ruthlessness in his actions exceeded his own imagination.

While the sallow-faced man was still thinking about plotting against Wang Taichu, Wang Taichu had already taken the lead, and his methods were ten times and a hundred times crueler than what the sallow-faced man had imagined, and a bloody storm suddenly spread across the five mansions of Xiliang. .

…………

Baishi County, West City, Zhang Mansion!
In the dead of night, silhouettes were seen scurrying through the surrounding walls. The intertwining figures suddenly stood still in front of the walls.A guard general in armor, leading his soldiers, looked extremely terrifying and deep in the dark night.

"Guard General!" One of the capable soldiers had an expressionless face, and the iron-blooded aura on his body seemed like a cool breeze in the dark night.This was because he had too much murderous aura, and the yin energy was heavy in the evening, so he had the illusion of a cool breeze blowing on his face.

Among these armored soldiers, there were also police officers wearing soap clothes and sabers. Hundreds of people stood quietly under the wall, waiting for the guard general's order.

The general of the guard said calmly: "There is an order from the military gate, it is better to kill three thousand people by mistake than to indulge one person in vain!"

"Besides, the Military Intelligence Department has irrefutable evidence... This family is a big family in Baishi County. They have received favors from the emperor for generations and have the family business they have today. However, the Zhang family is so arrogant that they don't want to repay Heaven's favor. Instead, they have something to do with the Taiping Sect members. Hook up."

The guard general smiled ferociously and said: "The army has a message for these rebellious ministers and traitors. They will all be punished...kill them without leaving a single one alive!"

"Promise!!" Hundreds of soldiers in Zhou Zai responded with a loud voice, raising their torches in full swing. In an instant, the lights of Zhang's mansion were brightly lit, and groups of soldiers broke open the door and rushed into the Zhang family's mansion like a swarm.

"Thieves in the Zhang family must be punished by the clan!!" Before the Zhang family could react, these armored soldiers had already started to kill people everywhere. The yamen and armored soldiers chopped down people when they saw them, leaving no trace of the chickens and dogs that were killed by the Zhang family, and the pieces were burned with red fire. of transparency.

At that time, there were a few Zhang family members who had reached the first level and even the second level of mysticism. However, under the suppression of the first guard, there was not much room for resistance. They were turned into flesh overnight.

A net of knives fell, and anyone who was not a little master of the divine transformation would be chopped down in an instant. The sounds of killing, screaming, and crying suddenly lingered in this mansion.

The guard general stood in front of the Zhang Mansion, looking at the Shura Hell in front of him expressionlessly, and simply said: "The Zhang family, which has been in the family for 200 years, dares to be involved with the Taiping Sect. Such a fool is not worthy of him. The clan has been executed."

The Zhang family in Baishi County has a very deep heritage. Their ancestors were civil servants at the magistrate level, and they all had some status within the government.As long as he stays in the local area and establishes some roots for another 200 years, he may not be able to become a prominent household in the city.

However, Zhang Mansion colluded with the Taiping Sect and tried to use the strength of the Taiping Sect to develop its own power. It was indeed a big taboo, and this taboo would lead to loss of one's head.

Since ancient times, as long as you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price!
The Taiping Cult is the number one cult in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and any relationship with it is a heinous crime. Moreover, there is irrefutable evidence that the Zhang family is connected with the Taiping Cult.

No matter how rich the Zhang family is, this single crime is enough to kill the whole family, and even the entire nine clans. This means that one person rebels and the whole family is killed.

General Wei looked at the destruction of a big family with indifference, smiled coldly, and said: "There are two more... These big families really deserve to be killed, thinking that they can sway between the court and the thieves just by virtue of their status as a local tiger. Even ten thousand kills are not too many."

"kill!"

"Kill!!"

At the same time, in the counties and prefectures in Xiliang's five prefectures, patches of fire lit up the night, and there were noisy shouts of killing. Xiliang soldiers and local government officials suddenly rushed into the homes of large families from all directions.

In the meantime, there were also some big families who were friendly to the imperial court and sent their servants to help.As the pioneer of the imperial army.

"Kill, don't leave any one behind. It's really courageous to have an affair with Taiping believers. If you want to rebel, you have to see how much you are. Are you ashamed?" Leng Yan, with bunches of torches held high beside him, looked at the mansion of the big family with a ferocious smile on his face,

These are just a part of the Five Prefectures of Xiliang. Since Wang Taichu's military order, the officials of the Five Prefectures of Xiliang and the local garrison cooperated to kill large families and high-ranking families who were related to the Taiping Religion.

Wang Taichu once said it well, it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to indulge one person.Under Wang Taichu's absolute power, the five Xiliang mansions were like iron barrels, purging these Taiping followers one by one.

The Taiping believers are the best at bewitching the common people in Guizhou, but if they can seduce 1 common people in Guizhou, they are not as influential as one big family.Therefore, Taiping believers and high-ranking families often have two sides.

This is also the reason why Wang Taichu brazenly wanted to attack the high-ranking families of the five prefectures of Xiliang.If these dissidents are not cleared up and dragged down for a long time, it will only make the arrogance of the Taiping believers more arrogant.

…………

The night is dark, with black clouds half-covering the full moon, the moonlight is clear, and the breeze is blowing slowly!
In the study room of Xiutu Mansion, Wang Taichu looked indifferent and sat firmly beside the public case, slowly reading the summary of military information from various places.

"The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!!" Wang Taichu looked at the military intelligence departments of various places. Among the military intelligence reports, a word was mentioned frequently, with a bright and dark light shining in his eyes.

"What exactly is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? What does it have to do with the Taiping Religion? Although the military intelligence departments in various places have collected a lot of information, their understanding of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is like a fog, with only a few words or two."

Wang Taichu's eyes flickered and he pointed at the words about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Especially when he saw the Taiping cultists involved, the coldness on his face became more and more obvious.

"The Taiping Sect must have some conspiracy in Liangzhou, and it's quite a conspiracy!" Wang Taichu looked at the report with a half-smile, and tapped the official case with his palms.

"Are they treating me like a persimmon, testing my bottom line? Or are they not paying attention to me?" Wang Taichu's eyes shone with a chilling light.

"Taiping Heavenly Kingdom...Taiping Religion..." Looking at the gloomy night from a distance, Wang Taichu savored something carefully. An inexplicable sense of depression came to his heart at some point. It seemed that behind the black night, Precipitating an unspeakable crisis.

"Recently, the central government has issued an article saying that the leader of the Taiping Sect and several Supreme Beings have frequently appeared in Zhili, Zhongzhou. Now the Taiping Sect is frequently active in Liangzhou. It seems that they have big plans!"

"Could it be that they can risk the disgrace of the world and join hands with Rong and Di to find an opportunity to break through the Liangzhou defense line?" A terrifying thought was churning in Wang Taichu's heart.

Wang Taichu had served in the army for more than 20 years in the surrounding areas. No one understood the hatred between the Central Plains and the Rongdi barbarians from all directions better than him.Just the millions of troops guarding the border from all directions are a huge feud involving mountains of swords and seas of blood.

Regardless of whether the Taiping Sect is good or evil, they are, after all, people from the Middle Earth, and they will be reviled by millions of people for using the people from the Middle Earth to collude with foreign invaders.

"The Taiping Sect should not be so unwise. It's just that the Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be getting more and more unstable recently, and the affairs of the center are not clear. There is no guarantee that the Taiping Sect has no intention of colluding with foreign enemies."

Wang Taichu's breath was as dense as a raging river, surging around Zhou Zai. The violent breath was released and then stopped, and he frowned tightly, staring at the words "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" on the copywriting.

"You have to be on guard when a dog jumps over the wall. You can't take any chances with people from evil cults. It's just that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom... this name is quite interesting!" Wang Taichu was vaguely touched, as if he felt a big disaster in his hazy mind. Change is coming, an unprecedented change.
