Chapter 108 Retribution
Chen Jinsong has been the prefect of Yongquanzhou for ten years, and has been enjoying power and influence in Yongquanzhou for ten years.
The wealth and fame that he had accumulated through ruthlessness over the past ten years would be enough to scare people to death if he just showed any one of them!
However, Chen Jinsong is a person who knows how to be an official.
I also understand the truth that water can carry a boat, but can also capsize it!
Therefore, his tyrannical power was not used against the people of Yongquanzhou, but against other nearby states.
The state capitals near Yongquanzhou are all small counties and small state capitals, and their county magistrates and state governors are all his subordinates!
As long as he gave the order to increase taxes or wanted money, they would run around to get it for him.
As for how they did it?
Chen Jinsong didn't care at all, he only cared about getting the money!
He was not afraid that they would write a memorial to expose his behavior!
Because Chen Jinsong used some tricks to make the memorials they wrote, which should have been submitted to the capital, be submitted directly to him!
He took the letter and tore it up on the spot without even looking at it!
Of course, we can't ignore them!
He asked someone to write a reply to them, saying that the higher-ups were aware of the matter and were investigating it, and asked them to wait for news!
They definitely won't wait for the news of his investigation!
But they must have hope, so that they won’t be discouraged and continue to be his slaves!
However, he never dreamed that after ten years of smooth sailing, he would be betrayed by his own people and then fall into the hands of a group of foreigners!
He was really angry!
At the beginning, in order to save his own manpower, he captured many disaster victims to serve as scapegoats!
Unexpectedly, the disaster victims were killed by them before they could be of any use, and he became a prisoner.
Chen Jinsong was angry and scared, and when he heard Antimo, he wanted to burn him to death.
Chen Jinsong's anger reached its peak, and he yelled at Antimo:
"Bah! You bastard, what if you kill me? You are still trapped in the Yan Dynasty and can't go back. You'd better be careful to stay alive. Don't let the Yan Dynasty army cut off your head one day and die in a foreign country without anyone to pay tribute to you!"
Chen Jinsong knew that his situation was hopeless and he could not escape death today. He was not afraid of death anymore and he might as well curse this beast to death before he died to vent his anger!
But he didn't expect that this beast wouldn't be affected by him at all!
Antimo looked down at Chen Jinsong as if he were a dead person: "Do you know where the person who scolded me like this last time came from?"
He patted the farmer's clothes he was wearing, pointed at his belly, and looked at Chen Jinsong as if showing off:
"Those people are in my stomach. But you and I are not interested. They are too old. Let's burn them."
Antimo spoke the last words to his confidant.
Seeing this, the confidant immediately brought two soldiers and walked up to Chen Jinsong like a tool.
The confidant and the two soldiers were also tall, and standing in front of Chen Jinsong, they were like the contrast between a monkey and a tiger!
The three men, who were as strong as tigers, easily lifted up Chen Jinsong, who was as weak as a chicken, with one hand!
Chen Jinsong was lifted in the air, with his legs dangling in the air, looking at the flames in front of him that were as fierce as red blood.
At this moment, he was scared to death again and yelled in the air like a madman!
The soldier was annoyed by his struggling so much, so he punched him on the head, knocking him unconscious. Then he waved his hand and threw him into the fire!
"what!"
When Chen Jinsong saw the flames that could burn human bones to ashes, his eyes rolled back and he fainted in mid-air!
But after a while, he was awakened by the scorching flames in the raging fire!
"Ahhh!"
Chen Jinsong screamed miserably due to the burns. He struggled violently, trying to put out the fire on his body, but the fire only got bigger.
After a while, the flames engulfed him, making crackling sounds.
In addition, there is an extremely unpleasant smell, which is floating everywhere with the gentle spring breeze!
When Chen Jinsong's last pair of eyes were about to burn out, he stared at the cloudless blue sky in a trance!
Who could have thought that after such a glorious life, his final end would be burned to death!
Is this retribution?
He had been an official for ten years, exploited his subordinates for ten years, and also extorted food from the people for ten years!
He never felt that he had done anything wrong. Even when looking at the various gold, silver, treasures, silks and brocades he had looted, he still felt that they were not enough and far from what he required!
So, no matter how his subordinate officials protested, he still insisted on having his own way and increased taxes three times!
Now, he hadn't even used a penny of the looted silver, and it all went into the pockets of the Huns!
This should be retribution, right?
As the people's official, he has never done anything beneficial to the people. If this is not retribution, what is it?
Even though it came ten years late, it finally came!
Chen Jinsong also regretted at this moment, and realized that it was not a good thing to live off the people!
Unfortunately, it's too late!
At the last moment of his life, he suddenly turned his eyes, wanting to take a look at the traitor who betrayed him, but before he could make any move!
A pair of eyeballs exploded with a "pop" sound, and then burned away!
Antimo watched Chen Jinsong burn to ashes and spat, "This bastard official is so weak! Keep going, don't stop!"
He shouted at his confidant, signaling him to burn the rest of the people as soon as possible!
After receiving the order, the confidant immediately led more soldiers towards other officials!
The officials who were tied up like dumplings were so frightened when they saw Chen Jinsong's tragic death that their buttocks felt hot and warm currents flowed out of them!
They didn't care about the embarrassment they suffered and immediately threw themselves on the ground, begging for mercy with tears and snot!
Little did they know that the louder someone begged for mercy, the first person the soldiers would burn, mainly because they were too noisy and rowdy!
Seeing this, the other officials thought they could escape death if they did not beg for mercy, so they quickly closed their mouths tightly, but they did not expect that they could not escape the fate of being burned in the end!
In just the time it takes to stick up an incense stick, all the officials in Quanzhou, including the prefect, were captured by the Huns and burned to death!
Lu Qingqing and others also watched the whole process in the dark, and they smelled the foul odor again and again!
They have no sympathy for these people at all, they just think they deserve to die!
I also feel that it is so unlucky to encounter such a thing!
Lu Qingqing spat softly, and then saw Antimo wave his hand.
"Let's go and take these children back to the prefect's house."
