Chapter 271 1 Burn these beasts to death
"I know where you need to find that group."
The woman's voice was weak, as if she had been thirsty for a long time, and her voice was hoarse like two pieces of dry wood rubbing against each other.
"Huh? Where?"
Yang Hongying took off the water bag from her waist and handed it to the woman.
The woman didn't answer and continued to say expressionlessly,
"They're just east of my house."
"We just came from there, and there were only two brothers there."
"Fake……"
The woman said,
"That place used to be the home of a ranger, but he seldom came back. A few days ago, a group of people suddenly came here, and they looked like bandits.
They rarely go out and occasionally send one or two people to buy vegetables and rice.
We think they are not easy to deal with, so we never dare to provoke them.
One day, my husband was out working, and they took advantage of my husband's absence and ran to my house and raped me.
In the evening, my husband came back and saw them. He started a fight with them, and they beat him to death and buried him under the tree in the corner of the yard.
Everyone turned around and looked at the tree in the yard, each with a look of pity on their face.
The woman continued,
"They were afraid I would run away, so they broke both of my legs. Since then, they have come to abuse me every day. They said that if I dared to commit suicide, they would kill my children.
I dare not shout, nor do I dare to die."
"But your child still died."
Yang Hongying lowered her eyes and said.
"I starved to death. I haven't had a drop of water or milk in five days. I didn't die. I survived by eating their dirty food..."
Hearing this, Yang Hongying was a little confused. Su Wuan and other soldiers frowned, feeling their stomachs churning and nauseous and wanting to vomit.
The woman said with a numb and desperate expression,
"My neighbor's house has a very hidden cellar, on the east side of the yard. You can see it by lifting the stone slab. The person must be hiding there."
A soldier frowned and said,
"I don't see any slate."
Su Wuan angrily slapped him on the helmet and said,
"Can't they use dirt as a disguise? You guys, go call for help quickly. Don't make any noise. Call more people over here. Don't let them get away!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Several soldiers ran over quickly.
Yang Hongying looked at the woman, feeling distressed and wanting to cry, and said,
"Don't worry, if this is true, we will give you a reward of several dozen taels of silver, enough for you to heal your leg and have no worries about food and clothing for several years."
The woman shook her head numbly and said slowly,
"I don't want your money. Just help me dig a grave and bury me, my child, and my husband together."
This is a woman who is heartbroken. Her husband is dead, her child is dead, she is raped, and her legs are broken.
She no longer had any motivation or desire to live, and every moment of her life was torture for her.
Yang Hongying put down the water bag and said,
"Let's go catch him first. Once we catch him, I'll take you to the hospital."
After saying this, she couldn't bear to watch any longer and went out with Su Wuan.
"These beasts!"
Yang Hongying squeezed out these words from between her teeth, not daring to speak loudly for fear of alerting the enemy.
Su Wuan also said with a gloomy expression,
"I'm going to kill them myself."
Soon, the soldiers called a large group of people from the surrounding area, hundreds of people, and they all surrounded them.
Su Wuan kicked open the door next door, but found that there was no one in the yard.
"We have our people all around here. They can't get away. Search the beams and the roof!"
Su Wuan shouted and pointed at a pile of firewood at the east wall and said,
"Also, come and move this pile of dry firewood!"
The soldiers immediately dispersed and those who entered the house began to search through boxes and cabinets. Suddenly, a scream was heard, followed by a loud shout.
"On the beams, on the beams"
"There's another one on the roof, he's jumped out. Brothers behind the house, catch him!"
With a flurry of chaos, the Yan army rushed forward, even Yang Hongying and Su Wuan rushed forward.
After a fierce battle, they finally captured the two assassins.
After tying it up and throwing it into the corner, the dry firewood at the foot of the east wall was moved aside. Everyone swept away the dry soil, and suddenly there was a stone slab with a handle underneath.
When the two soldiers were about to open it, Su Wuan suddenly said,
"Don't lift it like that. Go to the sides, tilt your heads back, and lift the slab out."
"Yes."
Two soldiers on both sides moved the stone slabs. As soon as they moved them away, several arrows were shot up from below the cellar.
Fortunately, thanks to Su Wuan's reminder, they were spared.
Su Wuan shouted to the crowd below,
"Listen up, everyone down there! Drop your weapons and come up. Resistance is useless. If you don't surrender, we'll set fire to the place in ten breaths."
"One! Two..."
After counting ten times, the people below still didn't come out. Su Wuan laughed in anger and snorted coldly,
"We're really giving you a chance. Do you really think we want to capture him alive?"
"Set fire, burn!"
The firewood that the assassin had chopped earlier came in handy. Everyone made a fire on the spot. After lighting the firewood, a raging flame ignited. Each person took a piece of firewood and threw it down.
Immediately, screams of someone being burned and coughs of someone being smoked were heard from below.
There was also a lot of stampeding as they tried to put out the fire.
"Burn! Keep burning. We've already captured two alive, so burn the rest!"
A bunch of beasts worse than pigs and dogs, calling themselves Rangers, but a bunch of desperadoes who commit crimes and stir up trouble! "
"Everyone else, torture those two men and force them to reveal the whereabouts of the other assassins!"
"As ordered!"
While they were being tortured, the Yan army was constantly setting fire to the people below.
At first they really wanted to capture them alive, but after hearing what happened to the mother and child next door, these soldiers gnashed their teeth in hatred and said they would not capture them alive and would burn these beasts to death.
Even if someone shows his head, he will be beaten down and burned to death.
After all, most people are normal people with morals and compassion. Those who commit arson, murder, looting and other evil deeds are still a minority.
The Yan army had never suffered a defeat, nor did they have any repressed emotions that needed to be vented by burning, killing and massacring cities.
Coupled with military discipline, most of the Yan army is still very good.
In just a quarter of an hour, there was no movement in the cellar.
After these people were burned to death, the interrogation on the other side also yielded results. The two men admitted that there were only more than 30 of them in Boyang City, and their purpose was to assassinate Shen Changgong and other senior generals.
Su Wuan thought they were idiots.
Just these few people want to kill the prince?
"Go, take them to the next room and make them kneel down and apologize."
Su Wuan and Yang Hongying brought everyone to the house next door. After entering the house, they found that the woman had closed her eyes.
Yang Hongying's heart skipped a beat, she walked over to sniff his breath, then looked at Su Wuan and sighed,
"died."
