Chapter 217 Preferential Treatment
A Yu's remains were prepared as best as possible, and Bei Jingchu asked Xin'er to come and see her mother off.
The little girl changed into mourning clothes and paid homage to her mother's tombstone.
After her, Bei Jingchu also lifted up her skirt and kowtowed seriously.
Before returning, Xin'er apologized to her: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was ignorant before and offended you."
Xin'er looked very scared. Knowing Bei Jingchu's identity, she was afraid that she would cause trouble for her.
I finally realized what stupid things I had done before.
Why did A Niang protect her?
A Niang was paving the way for her, but she no longer had a mother.
Of course Bei Jingchu wouldn't bother with her.
Especially A Yu’s spirit is in heaven.
She did remember someone and sent someone to ask Lei Ning for questioning.
"On the night Dezhou was captured, County Magistrate Ma abandoned the city and fled."
"I want to ask, how did he deal with it?"
Lei Ning bowed his head and replied, "Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that any official who abandons the city will be torn into pieces by five horses."
"When I arrived, his body had already been chopped into pieces."
Bei Jingchu curled her lips and smiled, "Okay."
Now that the secret weapon has been used, we must take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and strike with all our might.
The army remained in Texas and continued to advance towards Tunning's territory.
Lei Ning assigned an army to escort Bei Jingchu and his group back to Beijing.
And escorted the prisoners from Tunning back together.
The carriages and horses were rushing back with great momentum.
Bei Jingchu and his companions were sitting in their respective carriages, but the prisoners did not receive such good treatment.
The prison van is ventilated on all sides.
It was the time when the snow had just melted and the late spring cold was even colder than at other times in winter.
Because they were afraid that they would freeze to death, thick thermal insulation curtains were laid around the prison van.
But after they set off, Bei Jingchu ordered the curtains to be removed, and they were not even allowed to sit in the prison van.
They were all like exiled prisoners, with their hands and feet tied, led by a rope, and walking in the team.
As for whether he was exhausted to death or frozen to death on the road, he deserved it.
Those who ordered the massacre were given a light punishment of freezing to death.
On the way, some people couldn't hold on any longer and started making trouble.
A kid came and asked Bei Jingchu how to deal with it.
She got off the carriage and took a soldier who could speak Tunisia to see it.
The ones causing the trouble were the generals who had been chasing Bei Jingchu that day.
There was a man leaning on his shoulder.
Even though his hands were tied, he adjusted his posture and protected the boy who was leaning on his shoulder.
Seeing Bei Jingchu coming, he pleaded in his unskilled Vietnamese dialect: "Princess, my brother is sick."
"Let him rest."
Bei Jingchu didn't feel any sympathy. The miserable appearance of them only made her feel happy.
"No way," she said.
"Either go or die."
"Being sick is nothing, dying is just fine."
The general became anxious and subconsciously used Tunning's language.
The soldier beside Bei Jingchu translated: "The Vietnamese Dynasty has always claimed to be magnanimous and generous, and they always treat prisoners well."
After hearing this, her voice became mocking: "So you dare to invade recklessly, and think you don't have to pay the price if you get caught?"
"I'm telling you, I'm not a magnanimous person. You won't have the right to live a comfortable life under my command for as long as you are here."
General Tu Ning tried to break free from the hemp rope, but the ropes were tied so tightly that there was no possibility of escape.
Like a dying fish on the shore, making its last struggle.
As helpless as the people being slaughtered.
He could only use his native language to roar in anger: "Even if it's useless for you to torment us now, you can't let all of us die on the road!"
"When we arrive in Yuejing, although we will be imprisoned, we will still be treated to delicious food and drink like those captured predecessors, showing the demeanor of your great country."
"You have no right to abuse us!"
Bei Jingchu pulled out the knife from the soldier next to him and poked a hole in his body.
The general's voice stopped.
Bei Jingchu handed the knife back and said, "I said, either leave or die."
"You are not qualified to negotiate with me now."
"If you make trouble again, I'll kill you~"
Seeing that everyone was quiet, she said contemptuously: "It's boring. I thought you were so brave."
When she walked back, she passed by Lei Nian'er's car. She opened the curtain and asked Bei Jingchu, "Your Highness, can you come up and sit for a while?"
Bei Jingchu got in the car, and Lei Nian'er and Xin'er were both settled in the car.
After getting on, the car door closed and the team started again.
Lei Nian'er said worriedly, "Dayue does have a tradition of treating prisoners of war well, to show the magnanimity of Dayue."
"Although I don't quite understand why we have to show such generosity, nor do I understand why we should treat our invaders with favoritism."
"But Your Highness punished them openly. Will His Majesty blame you when you return?"
"Will those ministers criticize Your Highness and say that you are not kind enough?"
Xin'er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "So, my mother deserves to die?"
"If they kill their enemies and are caught by us, won't they be punished?"
“I even feel like this isn’t enough.”
Lei Nian'er was speechless.
Of course not, it’s just that in the capital, justice and reason are never discussed.
It is a political contest and a comparison of superiority and inferiority.
This was something she couldn't understand even when she was seven years old.
But saying all this to a child who lost his mother in the massacre is too inhumane.
Fortunately, Bei Jingchu understood what she meant, but she didn't care: "If you are afraid of the mouths of those fools, afraid of Aye's blame, I will let them have an easy time."
“Then I’ll feel really bad.”
"Nian'er, I am rational enough now, otherwise I would have carried out lynching and shaved them all one by one."
"After we return to Beijing, we'll talk about any objections they have."
"At least in this team, I'm the one who makes the decisions."
There was no way she could make it easy for them.
Sure enough, on the way, the sick boy and other prisoners who did not hold on died.
When they asked Bei Jingchu how to deal with the situation, she sat in the carriage without even raising her eyelids. She only said, "Stab him in all the fatal parts. When he's dead, take him out and dig a hole to bury him."
If she wasn't afraid that the corpses would breed viruses and infect nearby residents, Bei Jingchu wouldn't bother letting them bury them.
As they got closer and closer to the capital, even the captured generals were looking forward to entering the capital as soon as possible.
I thought I could take a break once I got to the capital and not be tortured by this ignorant kid.
She could even be accused of mistreating prisoners.
When they arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, Bei Jingchu asked Lei Nian'er to go home first.
"You have a disability, so you don't have to go with me to the palace."
"Mrs. Lei must be worried about you, Nian'er, go home and be with your mother."
Lei Nian'er naturally would not refuse.
When the princess was in danger, she stayed by her side. After the news was reported back to the capital, she had no idea how frightened her mother was.
