Chapter 265
Chapter 265
"As for what to prepare for? What they see will be bloody and cruel, which will make people feel uncomfortable." Shen Hui'e reminded them, "Maybe the crows will even peck at their corpses."
"That's nothing. We've seen it before." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with dark eyes and said, "We buried them with our own hands."
It was too early to say that. When Shen Changsheng saw the bodies of the women, he vomited immediately.
Huang Zhongchang cursed, "Beast, beast, you are not even human."
The women were all tortured to death. Their deaths were so tragic that I dared not look at them a second time.
"Madam." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with a sullen face.
"Let's leave first." Shen Hui'e's eyes, like black holes, looked at Huang Zhongchang, who had an ugly face, and Shen Changsheng, who was vomiting all over the place.
After leaving the mass grave, Shen Hui'e looked at the pale-faced Shen Changsheng and said, "Brother, are you okay?"
"How can they be so cruel to people like us?" Shen Changsheng said with trembling lips, cursing angrily, "Damn it..."
Shen Hui'e opened her lips when she heard that, but swallowed the words that were about to come out of her lips. Any words of comfort would be pale.
"Are these women refugees?" Shen Hui'e looked at the little girl and asked.
"Yes!" The little girl nodded and said, "I exchanged it for a bowl of corn. I thought I was going to live a good life, but I didn't expect it."
"Do the other people in the shack know?" Shen Hui'e asked with clenched fists and cold eyes.
"I know!" The little girl looked at them with empty eyes and said, "But what does it matter if you know? They say that the sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn and won't have to suffer anymore."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huang Zhongchang said, panting.
"Who wants to die when they can live?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes as dead as ice and said, "It's a relief for them."
"Damn it! They are not human beings. They are government troops! How can they do such beastly things?" Huang Zhongchang said angrily. "Even bandits wouldn't do this!"
"Have you never heard of bandits?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with frost in her eyes and said, "People without humanity are like this, dominated by pure bestiality."
"Thank you." Shen Hui'e looked at the little girl gently and said, she took out two gold coins from her waist and said, "This is for you, protect yourself." Then she stuffed them into her hands.
"I don't want it. Can you avenge me?" The little girl looked at her with devastating hatred in her eyes.
"Take it!" Shen Hui'e took her hand and stuffed the gold coins into her chilblained hands.
"Madam, can you help me get revenge?" The little girl clenched her hands and refused the gold coins she stuffed into her mouth. "If you help me get revenge, my life will be yours. You can ask me to do anything for you."
"Little girl." Shen Hui'e put her index finger on her lips and said, "Don't make promises easily. What if I'm a bad person? I'll ask you to kill people, set fires, or do things that go against your conscience in the future!"
"As long as I can get revenge, I will do anything." The little girl put her hands behind her back and looked at her with her dark eyes, saying, "Please help me get revenge."
"You have a grudge against them." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her ink-black eyes.
"My sister was killed by them." The little girl burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Shen Hui'e took off her gloves, bent down and wiped her tears, and said, "Do you believe in karma?"
"Believe it." The little girl nodded heavily.
Shen Hui'e looked at her with a resolute look and said, "Then evil will be punished. They will definitely be punished." She stuffed the gold coin into her hand and said, "Be good, take it. Protect yourself."
The little girl blinked her dark eyes and accepted it this time.
"Let's go." Shen Hui'e patted her thin shoulders and looked at Huang Zhongchang and Shen Changsheng, "Let's go."

Shen Changsheng drove the carriage and carried the two of them into the city. The whole journey was silent, so quiet that it was scary.
"I thought you would pick up a knife and chop them up." Huang Zhongchang couldn't help but said.
"I would like to, but I can't. I can't act on impulse unless I'm sure I'll hit the target." Shen Hui'e took a deep breath and said, "I just didn't expect the government troops to be so corrupt."
"What's so unexpected about this? Look at the county magistrate and what the guards have become. It's not surprising." Shen Changsheng said in a deep voice, his face not looking good.
"Cheer up, knowing this, at least their fighting power will not be the same as before." Huang Zhongchang said with a big smile on his face.
Shen Hui'e looked at him, shook her head and laughed, "Come on! Think about how to take over Hezhong Prefecture."
"I support the use of drugs. Kill those bastards." Huang Zhongchang gritted his teeth and said, smiling at her and bowing, "I have to ask Madam for this. Your drug administration without anyone noticing is the best."
"Don't you agree?" Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily and said, "You said this was an unfair victory."
"I didn't say that!" Huang Zhongchang said immediately, "I totally agree with it. Damn it! I have never seen anything worse than beasts. They are simply not human."
"If we really take over the barracks under the cover of night, I have a way to enter the city." Shen Hui'e said, tapping her knee with her index finger.
"How do we get into the city?" Shen Changsheng looked at her anxiously and said, "The walls are high and wide. If we attack by force, we will suffer heavy losses."
"Of course we can't attack rashly. If we take down the barracks and change into the government army's clothes, it will be much easier to seize the city gate." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her shiny black eyes.
Huang Zhongchang's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "What a good idea. Let's just surround the county governor's mansion. Kill the county governor first."
Shen Hui'e looked at them with her jade-like eyes and said, "The current urban layout is mostly rich in the east and noble in the west, which directly blocks the intersection of these two areas. Archers, get ready. Anyone who dares to come out will be killed without mercy!"
"South City and North City, just open the warehouses and release the grain, and the situation will be stable." Shen Changsheng said to them with bright eyes.
"The general direction has been decided, but we still need to be more careful about the details." Shen Hui'e tapped her knee with her index finger.
"Details?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in confusion.
"Who is the general stationed outside the city? Does he live outside the city or inside?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes and asked, "How is his fighting ability?"
"He doesn't live in the barracks, but in a luxurious mansion in the city!" Shen Changsheng looked at him with his dark eyes and said, "He is big and strong, as strong as a mountain."
"How do you travel on weekdays? On horseback?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said.
"Traveling?" Shen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "In a carriage?" He said with certainty, "Yes, in a carriage." He blinked and looked at her and said, "Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him riding a horse?"
"As a military general, don't you think there is anything wrong with riding in a carriage?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with raised eyebrows.
"Maybe it's because it's cold?" Huang Zhongchang argued, "I don't want to go out when it's cold."
"It is said that what goes above your command is what follows below your command. If the subordinates dare to do such evil things, the officers above them must be of low standard." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her deep and bottomless eyes.
"You mean to say that this general's fighting ability is not that good." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with deep eyes and said.
"The generals are all incompetent, and the soldiers are so weak, how can you still expect the generals to be strong?" Shen Hui'e said sarcastically, "It's possible that they can't mount a horse or draw a bow."
"We have to take this unknown and unconfirmed thing seriously." Shen Changsheng said seriously.
"Okay!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile, "By the way, we also need to check how many servants the rich families in the city have?"
"How do I check this?" Shen Changsheng said with a troubled look on his face.
"It would be best if we could get the roster of their family." Huang Zhongchang said, looking at them with his dark eyes.
"Is this difficult to handle?" Shen Changsheng said to them with a slight frown.
"Just check the kitchen and you'll know." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.
"Yes! The daily food intake is limited. Can we calculate how many servants there are?" Huang Zhongchang clapped his hands and said with his eyes shining.
"Leave it to me." Shen Changsheng said cheerfully, "My second sister has always asked me to keep an eye on the wealthy families in the city! They are capable of doing anything that is against the will of heaven and earth." He restrained his anger and said, "It is too numerous to list! Ten beheadings would not be enough."
"Are there many cases like this?" Huang Zhongchang asked.
"One by one." Shen Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "We are really ants in their eyes. It's like crushing an ant to death to crush us."
"Brother, write down every word you say." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and bright eyes and said, "Also, read the law carefully when you have time." She said murderously, "We have to make them die with a sincere heart."
"Okay!" Shen Changsheng said, clenching his fists.
"Are we all punished together?" Huang Zhongchang thought for a moment and asked her.
"Our current laws are based on collective responsibility. If one person commits a crime, the whole family will be in trouble." Shen Changsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her and said.
"I agree with collective punishment and eradicating the roots." Huang Zhongchang said, "If we don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles."
"Some laws are not appropriate!" Shen Hui'e said after careful consideration.
"We don't have time to identify this." Shen Changsheng reminded her, "Besides, how many of those people are clean?"
"Where is the child?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with clear eyes.
"Didn't they enjoy the luxurious life brought by their parents' power?" Shen Changsheng said in a cold voice, "Since they have enjoyed the glory brought by the family, they must be buried with the family when it is destroyed."
"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang nodded vigorously after hearing this, "Although we have convicted according to the law, they don't care. We are the murderers of their fathers. What should we do if they come to seek revenge? We still have to be on guard against them. There is no such thing as a thief who can stop thieves for a thousand days." Then he added, "Anyway, none of them are wrongly accused."
Shen Hui'e looked at him in surprise, "I'm sure Mr. Zhang will agree with what you said." Then she continued, "Mr. Zhang is trying his best to win them over. Is he still waiting for their financial support?"
