At dawn in the east, the four gates of Weinan Ancient City open.
The thick water clouds over the city dispersed, and the killings and violence at night seemed as if they had never happened.
The ancient city of Weinan is still so quiet and peaceful. Except for the presence of some legal officers and legal servants wearing blood-colored and iron-colored costumes on the streets, and a notice of peace of mind posted on the door of every neighborhood, there is nothing unusual about it.
Yin Xuuge rode the Black Lin Cavalry and followed the Yin family's troops as they walked slowly into the ancient city of Weinan.
Baiquanzhuang was massacred last night, and then the Yin family's troops, in cooperation with the elite soldiers and generals of the Lufu and the Taishou Mansion, stormed the ancestral lands of several aristocratic families in Weinan County. In one night, more than 30 families, large and small, were attacked. The total number of men killed in each family exceeded 10,000, and tens of thousands of servants, guards, etc. were implicated.
In such a large Weinan County, apart from the Heber family, which is different from the Yin family in terms of high-end military force, the other eighth- and ninth-grade aristocratic families only have one or two Ancestors who can reach the thunder realm.
Facing the joint attack of the Yin family, the prefect's palace, and the Lu family, these small aristocratic families were easily defeated like chickens and dogs.
Those young and beautiful women were all sent back to the Yin family manor. It is not easy to send this kind of trophy to the ancient city of Weinan in a grand manner. Although everything is in compliance with the law, after all, the psychological endurance of the people in Weinan County must also be considered.
But cart after cart of gold, silver and jewelry, countless spiritual herbs, ores and other precious items, plus piles of land deeds, etc., followed Yin Xuege and others in a long queue to march through Weinan. ancient city.
Yin Xuuge and the others entered the city, and at the other city gate, a large group of servants also drove carriages to transport carloads of corpses out of the city, burn them and bury them.
The elites of the Yin family attacked each family's ancestral home outside the city and broke through the foundations of each family.
In the city, the Yin family's troops also massacred all night. Dozens of men from big and small aristocratic families living in the city were bloodbathed. All the female relatives were gathered and imprisoned in the square of the Yin family's mansion.
In early summer, the bodies of beheaded men must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a plague.
On both sides of the road, countless Weinan County civilians paid their respects to Yin Xuege and others with respect and fear. What happened last night cannot be hidden from anyone. Everyone knows that from today on, the Yin family is the largest family in Weinan County.
In the huge Weinan County, there is only one seventh-grade family, the Yin family. After one night of killing and annexation, the strength of the Yin family has increased at least five times, which is almost comparable to that of a slightly weaker sixth-grade family.
Apart from the Yin family, there were only a few small families that did not participate in the Spring Hunting Festival and did not send their clansmen into the Four Jue Mountains. They were lucky enough to survive.
One eighth-grade aristocratic family and three ninth-grade aristocratic families.
The four small families were too weak and their family fortunes were in decline, so they had neither the strength nor the courage to participate in the Spring Hunting Festival.
Because of this, they avoided the disaster of annihilation this time. The Yin family did not take the opportunity to attack these four small families. After all, if the Yin family was the only one in a county, it would definitely attract too many people's attention.
The Yin family has enough limelight this time, there is no need to make such an aggressive stance.
There are several small aristocratic families as embellishments. From all aspects, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the Yin family. Anyway, they are not afraid of turning the world upside down.
Walking along the street, you can see Yin family disciples walking in groups from time to time, full of evil spirits. They are still following the pictures to hunt down the unlucky people in the city who are related by marriage to those families that have destroyed their families.
Although the family foundation has been destroyed, those families who have married daughters will be pursued one by one.
Not to mention what fate they will suffer, if the children they give birth to are boys, they will all be executed, because they all have the blood of the exterminated family. If they are girls, they will either be sent as slaves or become concubines, which is inevitable.
The law is strict. They come from families that have been exterminated. They themselves, and their children, as long as they are within three generations, will be implicated. It's just that their charges will be slightly lighter and their punishment will be more lenient.
The doors of some houses were open, and hoarse screams and howls could be heard from time to time.
Daughters born to some small aristocratic families and unimportant side ethnic groups would randomly select some small businessmen and small landowners in the city to marry. Now, in the homes of these small businessmen and small landowners, the law lieutenants of the Lu family and the children of the Yin family have broken into.
They were capturing the married women from the aristocratic families one by one according to the clan information registered by those aristocratic families.
From time to time, there is a unique "puff" sound when the blade cuts across the neck. This muffled sound of the blade passing through the flesh and bone is often accompanied by the hoarse screams of some men and women. After some girls from aristocratic families get married, the children they give birth to are often the only descendants of a certain small family.
But the laws are strict and the legal net is wide, like an iron curtain hanging over everyone's head.
When the patriarchs and elders of these small families did not listen to Yin Jiuyou's persuasion, broke into the Buddhist ruins, and were killed by Nangong Nan himself, their family's fate was already sealed.
The descendants of these aristocratic women, all the men were beheaded on the spot, and the girls were tied up tightly and thrown into the carriage parked at the door.
The parents of these well-off small businessmen and small landlord families stood timidly in the yard, obediently cooperating with the pursuit of the family's law officials and the Yin family's children, and took away the daughters of the aristocratic families and the children they gave birth to. The descendants identified them one by one.
Even if the children who were killed were the only heirs of their family, they could only grit their teeth and let them be killed.
Collaborating with ancient evil spirits is an unheard of serious crime. How dare the parents of these small families get involved in such a thing
Weinan City's aristocratic families have been multiplying here for countless years, and countless girls from side clans have gotten married. Today, among the thousands of households in Weinan City, at least half of them will cry.
But they were lucky after all. They only gave up one or two daughters-in-law and a few grandchildren. Their family business was preserved and their foundation was not damaged in any way. Compared with those aristocratic families that were wiped out, they were absolutely lucky.
Yin Xuuge rode the Black Linqi, gently stroking the long hair on the Black Linqi's neck, and slowly moved forward with the large group of people.
The bloody corpses of several children were taken out and thrown into a corpse carriage on the side of the road. Yin Xuuge tightened her fingers slightly, and a hint of blue meridians emerged under the skin.
The children who were beheaded looked to be only two or three years old.
They themselves are innocent, just because their mothers came from those aristocratic families that were exterminated, and were accused of colluding with ancient evil spirits, so they were all implicated.
From the gate of a mansion, a rather charming young woman was snatched out of the door with her face full of tears, crying heartbreakingly. She stretched out her arms, trembling all over, trying to grab the little hand of a murdered child, but a law officer kicked her hard in the back of the head, knocking her unconscious.
A person from the Prefect's Mansion who was responsible for selling official slaves moved closer to him, his ferocious old face smiling as brightly as a flower.
The ugly old woman gritted her teeth in front of so many people, stretched out her hand and scratched the unconscious young woman for a while, judged her figure and health, and stared at her face carefully for a while. .
"Seventy-five percent of her beauty is considered to be of the upper-middle grade; her body is well maintained and she can give birth to healthy babies."
"Hey, her skin is so smooth, I can't tell that she is the mother of two children."
"She comes from a ninth-grade family, but unfortunately her background is a bit poor. However, she is a daughter of a noble family after all. Even though she is a second-hand product, she is still worth ten taels of gold."
Several officers sent by the prefecture on the side held thick documents and quickly recorded the relevant information of the unconscious young woman, as well as the old woman Yazi's description of her. She was tied up with a rope, and a sign indicating her crime, origin, and price was hung around her neck. She was thrown into a fully enclosed carriage like a piece of cargo.
At the door of the mansion, a tall man stood there in a state of despair, looking timidly at several legal servants near the carriage who were wearing fancy clothes and had long knives hanging from their waists. The man's lips moved slightly, and Yin Xuuge heard his mumbling clearly.
"Qing Niang, Qing Niang, don't blame me."
"Who made your family so stupid as to collude with the devil? How dare our small family do such a thing?"
"For my husband, for my husband, for my husband, and for this family, I can only be cruel."
The man looked mournful as he watched his wife being thrown into a carriage and taken away. With a drooping face, he glanced at the bodies of his two sons dumped on the corpse truck, then sighed heavily and sat down on the threshold.
Yin Xuege looked at the man, her eyes moved around him, and then looked at another mansion in the distance.
There, a tall and thick man was beating up a pretty young woman.
"I knew you, this troublemaker, were here to harm our family."
"We have been married for three years and haven't given birth to a single child. I should have divorced you long ago."
"Now that group of elders in your family have done such a crazy thing, they deserve to be beaten to death!"
While beating and cursing the girl, the man smiled flatteringly at the few priests standing aside.
"Masters, please take this prodigal woman away quickly! Xiaomin has long wanted to find another wife!"
"The Heb family deserves to be exterminated. A common man marries a woman from his family and gets no benefits at all. He is not allowed to take concubines. It is really lawless."
"I've known for a long time that their Heb family will have such a day sooner or later!"
The woman who was knocked to the ground cried hoarsely.
"Zhao Sanlang, you have no conscience."
"Who knelt in front of my father and begged so hard that he married me?"
"How did my Heb family wrong you? When I married you, the dowry I brought with me added a thousand acres of fertile land to your family!"
Zhao Sanlang's expression changed slightly, and he flew up with a fierce kick, kicking the woman unconscious.
