Chapter 261 - 149: Shocking the World_6
```
Ironically, the largest portion of blame fell on Dong An's shoulders.
The court's intention was that all the failures of this campaign would not be attributed to the various generals, because even the Ministry of War had not anticipated Dong An's treason. Including the Mingzhou Rebel Army, after their surrender, not all of them would be killed either. At most, only a part would be executed. The rest would be scattered and then relocated to other places, to be absorbed and assimilated into other state armies. We're talking about seventy or eighty thousand people, mass executions would be a huge loss for Dasheng.
"Many thanks, Mr. Chen."
Having received the news, Pei Tiannan went to seek the Princely Heir.
After drinking the wine provided by Mr. Hou, Chen Sansi continued riding on.
Near the city gate was a dense crowd of common folk, looking to number at least a hundred thousand people, practically overflowing the mountains and fields endlessly. They listened to the victors' songs and music, each of them craning their necks and standing on tiptoe among the ranks,
"Suicide?"
Chen Sansi pretended to be a simple bystander, "How did they commit suicide?"
"They smashed their own heads with a palm strike."
Li Qianzong clicked his tongue, "It's quite spooky. They were held in separate cells, so who knows why they wanted to commit suicide? Their deaths were easy for them, but now it's being said outside that the Liangzhou Army is killing the innocent."
Chen Sansi was clear in his heart, there must be something fishy about these suicides.
He inquired, "If I remember correctly, the two people who were captured, one was the temple master and the other was the supervisor, if both are dead, wouldn't Ci Yun Temple have to close its doors for good?"
What worried him the most was whether the incense burner was still there or if someone had taken it away.
"Ci Yun Temple is doing just fine, and no issues were found with the other Taoists under them."
Li Qianzong said, "Moreover, I've heard they have some kind of master's uncle planning to return and take over Ci Yun Temple soon. If you ask me, there will definitely be someone to take over, with just the incense money alone they don't know how much they can make each year, it's simply a money tree! I can't understand what those Martial Saints are thinking, praying to immortals, thinking they themselves can become immortals? Ridiculous."
Someone else is coming...
Chen Sansi knew, if he wanted to act, he had to hurry.
