"What's wrong?" Bai Fuling asked, Bai Shao would never just talk about it.
Bai Shao organizes his language and tells the follow-up of the day when the truth was revealed.
All the elders and leaders of the clan on the platform heard Xuecha's words that night. Except for a few people who colluded with the high priest and others, their faces were ashen, and they were frightened to death. The sinner who framed the wattle.
Euonymus pushed them to the front of the stage, called over the clansmen who had paid homage from afar, and under the witness of everyone, asked Xuecha, Longjiao, and the high priest to confess their crimes. He confessed to the crime, but kept begging for forgiveness.
Thorn Fruit Guard loudly asked the people below whether they should kill their fathers, commit adultery, and murder their brothers. For the past two years, Longjiao obeyed the high priest, and most of the people were dissatisfied. The spear cut off the dragon's horn in two in public.
Xuecha cried and said that she was pregnant, and begged Wei Mao to let their mother and child live because of their old love, and they were willing to atone for their slaves and maidservants.
In the end, Euonymus just sneered, saying that it was just an evil seed, and then cut off her head without mercy...
If it were more than ten years ago, Bai Shao would not think that there is anything wrong with doing this, but now she has reformed for many years, and thinking of Euonymus killing Xuecha in public, one dead body and two lives is so cruel, it is unavoidable feeling anxious.
Although the woman deserved to die, the child in her belly was innocent, and she was indeed just a chess piece from beginning to end. Because of her weakness, she was persecuted by the high priest of Longjiao.
Bai Chou couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Mu Peilan had just given birth to a pair of babies, and his heart was full of joy for the new life. It is also somewhat difficult to accept.
Bai Fuling's heart trembled, and she smiled wryly, even if she was a prisoner on death row, she would allow her to give birth to a child before execution, not to mention that Euonymus Esmeris did not hide her affection for Xuecha back then.
Why have I recently met some ruthless characters who kill people without blinking an eye
"Then what happened to the high priest? He was also killed?" She secretly decided to keep a little distance from the eucalyptus in the future.
Bai Shao nodded and shook her head: "The high priest was struck to death by lightning."
Huh? Bad guys can really be struck by lightning? Everyone in the hall became curious.
It turns out that in the Thorn Fruit Department, as the high priest, he has absolute immunity. No matter what he does that hurts the sky, no one can kill him except the gods. At most, he should be imprisoned.
Although the high priest knew that he was losing power, he expected that Wei Mao would not dare to kill him openly, so he was not too scared. Instead, he insulted and cursed him and the old patriarch loudly, saying that they disobeyed the gods, and he punished them in place of the gods.
The guarantor asked his cronies to gag his mouth, tied him under the flagpole on the high platform, and publicly announced that if the gods did not punish the villain within three days, then he would spare his life.
There are often thunderstorms at the turn of spring and summer, especially in the land newly occupied by the Thornfruit tribe. There is a large lake, with frequent rain and lightning. As a result, the high priest was struck to death by lightning on the high platform before dawn the next day.
Afterwards, Euonymus declared publicly that the reason why the tribe suffered disasters repeatedly was that the high priest was driven by the devil and had deviated from the will of the god. The god was angry, so the whole tribe of Thorns suffered together.
Then, they took advantage of the situation to execute a group of priests who were close to the high priest, and prepared to re-elect new people to fill them up.
Bai Fuling sighed, not knowing whether to praise Euonymus burdock for being smart. Many people in modern times know that when encountering thunder and lightning, they should never stand on high places or be close to tall objects such as trees or flagpoles. The terrain in the area is flat, and you have to be careful not to walk around upright, otherwise it will easily attract lightning strikes. I didn't expect the euonymus to know this and use it so thoroughly.
In front of her, Euonymus is an honest and obedient green eye, but in front of others, he is a decisive, cruel and ruthless barbarian leader. In fact, she should be thankful for saving him, at least for a period of time, he will have some respect for her family members.
It can already be seen from his actions that he has learned the lesson of his father's failure, and intends to take the opportunity to firmly control the theocratic power of the Thorn Ministry. In the future, the priests of the Thorn Ministry can only be his mouthpiece You can no longer fight against him.
I have to say that he is very smart and knows how to take advantage of opportunities. Presumably when they were discussing how to expose the conspiracy of the High Priest and others, he was already thinking about how to take the opportunity to pave the way for the future control of the Thorn Department. Facing her appearance, Bai Fuling couldn't help feeling a little creepy - another double-faced person! No wonder Bai Shao asked her to be careful.
In fact, everyone of them guessed that she was hurt by the sea pumice, so once they found a suspicious target, they tried their best to remind her, lest she would be hurt again.
Bai Fuling felt warm in her heart, smiled and said: "Okay, we will help what is necessary, and after seeing it clearly, we will decide whether to cooperate or not, and how to cooperate."
The others nodded after hearing this, and then dispersed.
Another two months passed in a blink of an eye, and Osmanthus sent someone to deliver letters to Bai Fuling from time to time, rarely mentioning major events in the clan, just telling his thoughts and some trivial matters in life.
If Bai Fuling couldn't see his intentions, then she would really be out of her mind, so her reply was very official, she only talked about how to restore trade, cooperate in business, and persuade him to reconcile with the barbarians, etc., never mentioning personal problem.
Not long after Euonymus peacefully seized the real power of the tribe, he became the new patriarch of the Thorax tribe. The forces originally belonging to the High Priest and Dragon Horn in the Thorberry tribe were quickly disintegrated. The changes came too fast, and many old factions had no time to unite and resist , was suppressed and divided.
In the past, they could still rely on the awe of the people's belief in the gods and the strength of their own family to fight against the emerging forces. They were barely tied or even had a slight advantage. Before they could make a move, a few of the leaders were publicly shot to death by Guard Spear on the charge of conspiring to kill the old patriarch.
Guard Spear cleverly adopted the method of public challenge, which is called resolving personal grievances, but in essence, it is to solve all hidden dangers of forces that dare to oppose him openly. The high priest killed his father together, but for the sake of tribal unity, he did not want to strangle their family with tribal jurisprudence, so he fought alone. As long as the representative of the opposing family can defeat him, then he will forget the past , if defeated by him, he will kill the patriarch of the family to avenge his father.
In fact, many of these families did not participate in the conspiracy that day, and it is impossible for Wei Mao to find evidence to prove that they were involved in the murder of his father. However, revenge for his father does not require evidence. The attitude of fighting to determine life and death, rather than using "political means" to persecute, has won the support of the tribe, especially those lower-class tribesmen who have been oppressed for a long time, and regard the euonymus as the hero and hope of the thorn tribe.
This method of changing violence for violence and deciding life and death in a decisive battle is the most admired and worshiped by the barbarians.
The family being challenged couldn't tell the pain. They didn't even have the right to refuse this kind of private challenge. Knowing that the other party is making use of the problem, but there is nothing to do.
Some leaders who have not yet received the challenge knew it well, and in order to save their lives, they took the initiative to suppress the opposing voices within the family, openly expressed their support for Eutrophy, and followed his example.
In just these three months, the opposition of the Thorny Fruit tribe dropped to the lowest level in history, and the tribe united unprecedentedly.
However, the rest of the barbarian coalition forces felt a huge threat. Originally, the two factions in the Thorngut Ministry fought against each other, and they were able to resist many counterattacks from the barbarian coalition forces.
The leaders of the coalition forces discussed again and again, turned their attention to Beiguan City, and decided to try their best to negotiate peace with the Zhenbei Army. Presumably they would not be happy to see the family of the Thorny Fruit Department become a big one!
There is no permanent enemy or permanent friend in this world. Even if the two parties were not happy before, there is no room for turning around.
The envoys from the Thorn Fruit Division and the Barbarian Allied Forces arrived at Beiguan City at the same time, and both of them concealed their identities. Instead of going to meet General Zhenbei, they first asked to see the members of the Bai family.
Bai Fuling blamed all these troublesome things on Baikelu, but the emissary of the Erythrosis Department also sent her a letter from Euonymus erythrae.
The letter was written in the language of Qi State, which was learned by Guo Wei Mao when he was recuperating in the Taixing Hospital. In the past two years, while doing security business, he continued to learn the language and characters of Qi State. To the level of proficiency, simple letters are no longer a problem.
And Bai Fuling had to admit with shame that a foreigner could write better than her!
The letter sincerely invited her to visit the Thorny Fruit Tribe in mid-June, Bai Fuling thought about it and agreed.
The next day, she received the latest batch of deeds of prostitution from the Ning'an River. Bai Fuling carefully calculated the number. Adding these, there were more than ten thousand deeds of prostitution in her box. Until now, she finally With a long sigh of relief, the task was completed a year and a half ahead of schedule, and the last mountain that weighed on her heart was finally removed!
After the ecstasy, there will be a moment of emptiness and loneliness. Parents don’t have to worry, the task has been completed, she seems to be of no use anymore...
For more than ten years, what I open my eyes every day is the heavy responsibility of helping thousands of people. Unknowingly, all the focus of life is placed on this matter. Others see her doing whatever she wants, doing whatever she wants, without any worries. No scruples, in fact, she has never really done anything for herself. The only time, she should insist on wasting time to stay in the Wulin League, but she is waiting for a hurtful ending.
Forget it, in the next year and a half, live completely for yourself!
