One Thousand and Twenty-Four: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots (2)
Although everything is under His Majesty's control, even the result of His Majesty's deliberate guidance, Wei Ci couldn't suppress the hatred in his heart - how could he not Hate it?
Just a little bit, just a little bit to kill two people——
He wished he could take the risk for her.
The person who led the Red Lotus Sect to block His Majesty was none other than the "fish that slipped through the net" that His Majesty accidentally missed when he attacked Northern Xinjiang and massacred the nobles of Northern Xinjiang. Wei Ci was in charge of the torture himself, so he knew the man's life experience very well - the grandson of the wise man Uliba.
Calculating the time, this person is only nine or ten years old now——
Just as he was thinking, the tent was lifted vigorously by Fu Wang.
"Master Wei is really amazing. The old man who served Uliba recruited - when Uliba was sixteen years old, he really swelled a shepherd girl's belly. The illegitimate daughter he gave birth to was raised by an old official of the family. Wu Liba secretly married a side branch of the imperial court." Fu Wang walked too quickly, his breathing was a little short, and layers of heat and sweat appeared on his forehead, "It is said that he is a side branch of the imperial court, but he is the illegitimate son of the King of Northern Xinjiang among the people. , so there is no record of this person in the royal family's genealogy - almost missed this family -"
Wei Ci asked indifferently, "Did anyone get caught?"
Fu Wang grinned, and he said, "When they sent people over, their family was about to escape. Several adults in the family saw that they could not escape, and committed suicide one after another. But didn't the military division say that there was a boy in their family? Then I searched carefully—"
The child looked like he was only ten years old, but he was so dumb that he couldn't see the aura of the "Lord of Zhongxing".
"Where's the child?" Wei Ci asked.
If this child is not eliminated, it will become a serious problem in the future.
"Bring it up—" Fu Wang called out, and the soldiers came in carrying a tightly bound fat man.
Wei Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, got up and walked a few steps to the little fat man, raised his hand to pinch his chin, and looked at him carefully.
"It's not this child—this child is a fake—" Wei Ci said firmly, "It was really swapped."
Fu Wang was startled, "Isn't this true?"
"The son of a servant, he doesn't have the slightest dignity in his face, his parents are both slaves, how could he be the person Ci is looking for?"
Wei Ci had seen that "fish that slipped through the net" in his previous life. Although the appearance of a youth in his twenties is different from that of a ten-year-old child, it is impossible that there is no slight similarity. Looking at this person's face, the family has been poor and humble for several generations, so it is impossible for him to be Wu Liba's grandson.
Fu Wang's expression darkened, "Really?"
Wei Ci said, "You will know if you interrogate this kid."
Fu Wang drew his sword and put it on the fat man's neck, deliberately intimidating, the little fat man really revealed his secrets.
"Damn—"
Fu Wang's face turned blue, his subordinates were not serious about their work, so he still had to do it himself.
He took people to chase, followed the clues for more than an hour, and finally found the real master hiding in a wild latrine.
This kind of outdoor latrine is not shallow, about the height of an adult, Fu Wang never expected that the master would hide here.
"What a scary kid, he is indeed the grandson of that old man Ulibah. The cesspit is full of maggots and flies. When we went to search for it, the kid jumped down and hid there. He is not afraid of being drowned in feces——Little It's really scary to be so calm at such a young age." Fu Wang came back near dusk, and said to Wei Ci, "That kid is too stinky, wash it off a little and let the military master take a look."
Wei Ci said indifferently, "Anyway, it is a dying person, and the corpse will decay eventually, so there is no need to wash it."
Fu Wang said, "Although this is the case, it can't let him become a military advisor."
The ancients were still very afraid of ghosts and gods. Although Fu Wang didn't believe in this, he would not make rash judgments about areas he didn't know.
No matter how you say it, Wei Ci Xiaolu's hand made Fu Wang feel a little awe of him.
"Ci go and have a look."
Accompanied by Fu Wang, Wei Ci went to see the "fish that slipped through the net".
"Fish that slipped through the net" is only ten years old, but his appearance has already shown his charm, with a handsome outline,
Deep eyebrows.
Wei Ci looked at him, as if he had traveled through time, and saw the young man who was tied up in the dungeon.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the different standpoints, Wei Ci would still appreciate the other party.
To this day, Wei Ci still remembers what the young man said before committing suicide——
[...The Jiang thief slaughtered my people in northern Xinjiang, how many children who were waiting to be fed lost their biological parents, how many lonely old people lost their blood relatives... millions of people died under her butcher's knife... I just want to Let her die twice... Even if she and the wild species in her stomach die, it's still not enough to pay off the debt——]
No matter in the previous life or in this life, His Majesty is the enemy of Beijiang.
but--
[Where is His Majesty the one who caused the situation in northern Xinjiang? ] Wei Ci looked at the body of the young man who had committed suicide and fell to the ground, and muttered to himself, 【It's clearly this troubled world! Your Majesty is just using his own way to end the troubled times, using the sacrifices of a few people in exchange for peace in this world. 】
If the youth really succeeded, the newly established Jiang Dynasty would fall apart, and there might even be a resurgence of troubled times.
At that time, Changsheng was only five or six years old. Once His Majesty died, how would Changsheng be able to carry this country?
What will happen to the originally balanced court?
Will those ambitious courtiers still be in harmony?
Therefore, Wei Ci will not let the regrets of his previous life reappear, the child in front of him must die.
Xu Shi sensed Wei Ci's killing intent, and the child's brown eyes burst out with strong hatred and killing intent, like a young lone wolf.
The child's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he asked Wei Ci in his unproficient Chinese.
"Are you going to kill me?"
Wei Ci nodded, he raised his right hand, and the soldiers beside him handed over his saber.
"Why?" the child asked again.
"Cut the weeds and get rid of the roots." Wei Ci said softly, "Aside from that, do you need any other reasons?"
As far as a child is concerned, Jiang Pengji almost killed all his relatives, he has already remembered it, and it is impossible to forget it.
This blood feud will never end.
The child's face was pale.
After a long while, he felt the blood all over his body become cold, his body collapsed, and the blood stained the soil under his body.
Putting the saber back into the scabbard, Wei Ci felt unprecedented ease.
Because of the lessons learned from the past, Fu Wang is more cautious in doing things, and perfectly completes the task assigned by Jiang Pengji.
"Did you kill yourself?"
When Jiang Pengji learned about this, she didn't care about the identity of the child, but instead cared about the secrets behind Wei Ci's actions.
"Keeping that child will be a hidden danger. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible."
Jiang Pengji frowned and said, "If you kill it, you kill it, why do you do it yourself?"
Wei Ci said, "Merciful killing is not human."
Jiang Pengji jokingly said, "Could it be that the child is still a monster?"
Wei Ci said, "It's my own inner demons that are being killed by kindness."
It was only after killing that child with his own hands that Wei Ci truly felt that he could change the future!
Jiang Pengji: "..."
It wasn't until late autumn that Jiang Pengji completely conquered the entire territory of Northern Xinjiang and wiped out all the nobles in Northern Xinjiang.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief and have a good year, she received a letter from Huang Song.
Only at this moment did she belatedly remember that she still had an ally——Huang Song, who was helping her hold off the Meng family in Cangzhou.
