Nan Xia looked at the piece of meat that was being roasted and smiled indifferently. It was obviously a human palm. In other words, these three guys were roasting human flesh. In this way, the evidence was quite sufficient. It was impossible for these three guys to deny it.
"How dare they eat human flesh? They must be crazy from hunger!"
Nan Xia scolded.
"General, how should we deal with them?"
The general asked.
Nan Xia thought for a moment, looked at the two soldiers, and ordered, "You two go back to the camp immediately and tell the officers and soldiers of Ha Ling Kingdom about the situation here. Ask them to send troops to deal with it. This place needs to be left as it is."
Obviously, Nan Xia knew that irrefutable evidence was very important. The best way was to catch them red-handed. Now the deep pit was the scene. The officers and soldiers of Ha Ling Kingdom had to come and see it. Only in this way could the public be convinced.
"Yes, General."
The two soldiers immediately ran back and reported the situation to the officers and soldiers of Ha Ling Kingdom.
The general of Ha Ling Kingdom, who had been a little drunk, sat on a stool tiredly, squinting his eyes from time to time to take a nap. When he heard that three disaster victims had run out and were roasting human flesh six miles away, he immediately sobered up. He asked someone to bring cold water to sober all the drunk soldiers.
Leaving half of the people to continue to guard the camp, the general led the remaining half of the people straight to the place six miles away. Such a big thing would naturally attract great attention. After all, they were eating human flesh! It was not roasting game. In the history of Ha Ling Kingdom, such a thing had almost never happened, except for the savage tribes.
Of course, in addition to the soldiers and horses guarding the camp of disaster victims, some of the soldiers and generals in charge of guarding the king, and some of the generals and generals of the Tang Army, also chose to go and see the situation after hearing the news. How could they satisfy their curiosity if they did not go and see such a big thing in person?
Six kilometers was not a long distance, and the hundred or so people soon arrived there. They saw three tied up disaster victims and human flesh being roasted on a bonfire. Of course, the bonfire below had been moved some distance away to prevent people's hands from being charred and unable to make an accurate judgment.
A large number of people had arrived, which made the three disaster victims even more nervous. The two disaster victims who had been able to maintain their composure were so scared that they peed their pants, trembling in fear.
After a simple interrogation, the three of them confessed to the cruel act of killing strange disaster victims. They also said that they were too hungry and learned that the barbarians had appeared nearby. Therefore, they chose to take the risk. They felt that once the matter was exposed, the soldiers would definitely suspect the barbarians and not them. Unexpectedly, they were still caught.
As the saying goes, one who commits too much evil is doomed to destruction. When a person does something bad, there will always be a time when he will be discovered. Even if he hasn't been discovered yet, it doesn't mean that he will never be discovered.
"General Nan, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
The general of the Ha Ling Kingdom said sourly.
Nan Xia pretended to be confused and asked in surprise, "On purpose? What do you mean on purpose?"
"You sent us such strong wine, causing half of the soldiers under my command to be drunk. If not for this, how could these three people easily avoid the guards and quietly leave the camp? If not for this, how could you have followed them here?"
The general of the Ha Ling Kingdom finally understood that he had been fooled by Nan Xia. This was enough to show that Nan Xia had already known who the murderer was. He let his people get drunk just to give the murderer a chance to make a mistake.
Nan Xia curled his lips and said, "You're wrongly accusing me. Assistant Minister Li asked me to send these drinks over as a reward for your hard work. Who would have thought that your alcohol tolerance would be so poor that you could drink half of it? If it were my subordinates, none of them would have collapsed."
Obviously, even if they were discovered, they couldn't easily admit it. Moreover, the general of the Ha Ling Kingdom couldn't get any evidence at all. He could only blame himself for his poor alcohol tolerance for getting drunk after drinking so little.
Hearing this, the general of the Ha Ling Kingdom felt very embarrassed, which was tantamount to slapping him in the face. After a pause, he retorted, "It's not that my soldiers are poor at drinking. It's just that we have never drunk wine from the Tang dynasty and are not used to this kind of wine."
"Fine! Let's not argue about alcohol tolerance. How should we deal with these three guys? "
Nan Xia changed the subject.
"Such beasts must be executed. However, in the many years since the founding of the Ha Ling Kingdom, there has never been a case of ordinary people eating people. Therefore, how to deal with them must be decided by His Majesty himself."
The general of the Ha Ling Kingdom said.
Nan Xia nodded and said, "Okay! Now that everything was clear, it was time to take them back! Let your king deal with them in person tomorrow morning. "
The general of the Ha Ling Kingdom nodded and waved his hand to let his subordinates take the three men away. He was going to take them back to the camp to be strictly guarded and wait for the king to deal with them the next morning.
It didn't take much effort to get rid of the murderers, so Nan Xia was very excited. He wanted to tell everyone immediately to show his ability. However, Ang Lee and other high-level officials were resting, so he could only suppress his inner excitement and brag about it the next morning.
Because it happened at night, it didn't cause much of a reaction. Except for the soldiers on night duty, no one else knew what had happened at night, so it didn't cause any corresponding turmoil.
Early the next morning, Ang Lee had just gotten up when he heard the chirping of magpies, which seemed to indicate that a happy event was coming.
Sure enough, as soon as he got out of the tent, he saw Nan Xia's joyful expression. At this moment, this guy was telling the other generals what had happened last night. He described it vividly, but of course, there were elements of exaggeration.
"Haha! It seems that everything went well! These three bandits were so easy to catch. "
Ang Lee said happily.
Nan Xia said energetically, "Assistant Minister Li, this is all thanks to your strategy. If it weren't for your strategy, those idiots in the Ha Ling Kingdom would still be suspecting that it was done by the savages. With their level, they would never be able to catch the murderers. "
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Keep your voice down. Don't let the people of the Ha Ling Kingdom hear you. Otherwise, they will be very angry. Haha!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed heartily.
"Has the old king gotten up?"
Ang Lee asked.
Nan Xia said, "He has already gotten up. Just now, he ordered the three murderers to take off their shirts and show them to the public in the disaster camp."
"Show them to the public? It seems that the king is very angry! Let's go and see! I'd like to know how the Ha Ling Kingdom deals with such criminals. "
Ang Lee didn't eat breakfast and went directly to watch the fun.
In the disaster camp, it was very lively. Almost all the disaster victims were around the open space, and in the middle were three criminals tied to the pillars. Waiting for them was the cruelest punishment.
The onlookers all craned their necks to watch the fun. Some of them were happy, some were afraid, and some were expressionless. It seemed that they didn't care about this matter at all. Of course, there were also heart-wrenching cries. The people who were crying were naturally the relatives of those who were killed and those who were arrested. They all had a reason to cry.
"Assistant Minister Li."
Seeing Ang Lee come over, the king of the Ha Ling Kingdom greeted him first.
"How does Your Highness plan to deal with these criminals?"
Ang Lee didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
The king of the Ha Ling Kingdom thought for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, Assistant Minister Li, since the founding of the Ha Ling Kingdom, ordinary people have never done such evil things, so we can't do anything for the time being. However, when we catch the cannibalistic savages, we usually feed them directly to the dogs. Since they have done the same thing as the savages, Xiao Wang will feed them directly to the dogs and deal with them as savages. Assistant Minister Li, do you think it's appropriate?"
To be polite, the king of the Ha Ling Kingdom asked for Ang Lee's opinion.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Since they are criminals of the Ha Ling Kingdom, Your Highness can do whatever you want with them. You don't have to care about my opinion. Besides, I can't give any good advice on this kind of punishment."
Obviously, dealing with criminals was a family matter, and it was not convenient for Ang Lee to interfere. Moreover, this matter had little to do with the Tang Empire. It was just a trivial matter. No matter how the king of the Ha Ling Kingdom dealt with it, Ang Lee would not have any opinion. Moreover, the lives of these three criminals would definitely be lost. The key was how they would die.
The king of the Ha Ling Kingdom sighed and said, "There are not enough dogs here. They need to be taken back to the palace for punishment. They will have to live a few more days. People like them really shouldn't be allowed to live a few more days."
"People are very scared before they die. Letting them live a few more days is not a gift, but a torture for them. Shouldn't such bad criminals be tortured?"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Haha! Assistant Minister Li is right. They are going to be executed soon. They must be very scared. Let them be scared for a few more days! We won't give them any food to eat for the next few days, not even a mouthful of porridge. We won't even give them a sip of water. We'll make them suffer. "
The king of the Ha Ling Kingdom hated these criminals very much and said bitterly.
Ang Lee said, "It's not suitable for these criminals to stay here. Take them away as soon as possible."
Seeing that almost everyone was looking at the three criminals as if they were monkeys, Ang Lee knew that they had to be taken away as soon as possible. Otherwise, the camp would never be able to settle down, especially for the victims and their relatives and friends. Their emotions would be the most difficult to calm down.
"Guards, take the three of them to the prison wagon and send them back to the palace. Prepare to be executed at any time."
The king of the Ha Ling Kingdom gave the order.
The 1,000 reinforcements of the Ha Ling Kingdom had arrived. They were strong enough. 50 people were specially assigned to escort them to prevent unpredictable dangers on the way.
The troops of the Tang Army by sea had arrived at the port in the west. The troops by land would arrive in one day. In other words, Ang Lee would leave the Ha Ling Kingdom with his army and go to the next small kingdom for inspection.
The king of the Ha Ling Kingdom had tried his best to give Ang Lee more gifts. As long as he could prepare, he had prepared them to show his sincerity to the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
"The people of the Ha Ling Kingdom have always been gentle. How could such a thing happen? Even if they were hungry, they shouldn't eat human flesh! This is outrageous. "
The king of the Ha Ling Kingdom couldn't figure out how his people could eat human flesh. Moreover, they cruelly killed innocent people. This was too confusing for him.
Of course, the king had never been hungry. He naturally couldn't figure it out. He didn't understand the madness of people when they were hungry.
"No, these three people must be the bastards left behind by savages. Only savages kill and eat people. They are the bastards left behind by savages."
The king of the Ha Ling Kingdom suddenly thought of something and said with an affirmative expression.
No one could say for sure whether these three people were the children of ordinary people or the bastards left behind by savages who went out to violate local women. In fact, people's hearts were bad. It had nothing to do with race. There were good people and bad people in every race.
The reason why the king of the Ha Ling Kingdom was so sure that they were the bastards left behind by savages was just to show the superiority of his own race. He wanted to kick these evildoers out of his race so that he could flaunt how excellent his race was.
Li An's lips curled into a faint smile, but he didn't say anything.
However, Ang Lee was still very familiar with the behavior of the descendants of the Ha Ling Kingdom. Because this place was located in the tropics, the intelligence of the people was estimated to have been damaged by the sun. They were generally stupid, and no matter what they did, it was difficult to produce good results.
The people of Hua Xia were smarter and generally had high IQ. Therefore, many of the people of Hua Xia who entered the Ha Ling Kingdom quickly became the wealthiest class, which made the indigenous people of the Ha Ling Kingdom very jealous.
These ignorant and incompetent people at the bottom increasingly disliked the high status of the people of Hua Xia. They didn't reflect on their own incompetence. Instead, under the leadership of some extremists, they embarked on the path of violence.
These indigenous people took weapons and killed the people of Hua Xia everywhere. At one time, they killed about one million people of Hua Xia.
The pitiful people of Huaxia had suffered great losses in the land of Heling Kingdom. A million wronged souls were echoing on this land, but the weak motherland had no ability to make decisions for them. It was really a great tragedy.
Of course, the reason why the people of Hua Xia in later generations were slaughtered by the indigenous people was that, on the one hand, they were too excellent and were envied and hated by the indigenous people. On the other hand, it was because the motherland was not strong enough to support them, which led to their tragedy.
But in any case, a race that could slaughter millions of foreign people was definitely not good people.
