By the time this group of prodigal sons were awakened, the smell of blood had already spread to the flower tower. The shock of the soldiers in the distance, the light of fire, and the voices shouting to kill, frightened them out of their wits. They no longer talked as loudly as before. The pride and heroism of guiding the country.
Even the sharp-eyed prodigal son could vaguely see that the direction of the fire was coming from his own mansion.
"Two old immortals, we meet again!"
On the street, two old men were escorted in front of Ji Yi.
These two people were none other than Wang Qi, a great Confucian who was very famous in the Southern Wilderness, and even in several nearby states and counties, and Zhu Xian.
Some time ago, Ji Yi received a military order to recruit talents in the city.
As soon as he inquired, he found out about these two people, so he came to the door with a big gift. Who knew that one of these two old men was called Gao Gaoguang at that time. If Zhao Cheng hadn't given a death order, saying that no one could be forced or disturb the people, according to his temper , then he had to kill someone.
But Lin Yi is not afraid of anyone now, he is afraid of Zhao Cheng. No matter how angry he is, he does not dare to disobey Zhao Cheng's wishes at all, and can only suppress it by force.
And Zhao Cheng did not disappoint him. It didn't take long for the reckoning to come.
At this moment, the two old men were tied up. Judging from their robes, it was obvious that they had been forcibly pulled out of the bed.
It was still spring, the weather was still a bit cold, and it was midnight. When the cold wind blew, the two old men immediately shivered from the cold.
"General, these two old guys actually dare to say that they are some great scholars. But you don't know that when the men arrested these two old guys, they were actually warming their feet in the arms of a woman. Those two women, judging by their age, I'm afraid they are only in their teens, they are simply doing evil!"
"Great Confucians all have this kind of virtue. I'm afraid the saints mentioned in the book are not good people!"
One of Ji Yi’s men cursed.
After hearing this, Lin Yi suddenly felt angry and angry. In his hometown, he also had a teenage girl who was sent to be a maid, but even so, the family still couldn't survive. He He could only join Huang Tianjun.
If it had been half a year earlier, he would have been numb to this kind of thing.
But in the past six months, being led by Zhao Cheng, exposed to the sun, and being taught by Taoist officials made him more and more disgusted with this kind of thing.
Why, people who cultivate dozens of acres of land can have so little to eat that they even sell their children? But some old immortals who never work are beautiful girls in beautiful clothes, eating corn grown by poor families, and letting their children live. , the son is a servant and the daughter is a maid? !
The world is sick and someone needs to cure it.
"Yang Shitou, beat me, hard. Forget it, I'll do it myself."
"Stand up for me, old man. Are you the only one who is a great scholar?!"
Ji Yi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and was about to take action.
But at this moment, Wang Qi shouted loudly and said: "An Gan, I am a great scholar recognized by the Confucian Temple, and my name is on the jade book. If you dare to attack me, you want your general to be outlawed in the world. , bear the infamy for thousands of years?!"
"Confucian Temple?!"
"If even people like you are recognized by the Confucian Temple, then I will swear that I will cut down mountains and destroy temples in this life. I want to see if those dead saints dare to talk to me."
"I would also like to ask him, is this how he teaches his disciples to behave?!"
Lin Yi became even more angry.
While speaking, Ji Yi had already started to move his hands and kicked several times. Accompanied by screams, the two old men's legs were kicked off by Lin Yi.
No matter how strong his character, no matter how dignified he is, he is vulnerable to a severe beating.
Of course, it's not that there are no people with true character in the world, it's just that there are too few. These two people are obviously not.
"Drag the two old guys down first. As for the rest of the two families, as long as they are taller than the wheel, just kill them all. There is no need to capture them and waste food!"
Lin Yi ordered.
"After the killing, let's go to the next house!"
…
"kill!"
Wucheng, Chu family.
The Chu family is one of the three major surnames in the city. It was a scholarly family in the era. Several generations of people once entered the center of the imperial court. Now, it can be considered that it has declined, but in Wucheng, it has a solid foundation. It can be said that it is Talk and laugh with ru, no contacts STOMATOLOGY.
As for ordinary people, even if they just took one more look at the Chu family's mansion and were discovered by the servants, they would be severely beaten, let alone getting close.
But at this moment, the Qilin'er of the Chu family, Chu Taixing, was wearing strong armor and leading a group of more than ten soldiers to fight.
With the strength of the Chu family, it would not be a problem to raise hundreds of armored soldiers, but this would undoubtedly make Wu Qi jealous. Now, having more than ten armored soldiers is already quite impressive.
After all, hiding armor privately, if discovered, would be the same as treason.
Chu Taixing was worthy of the name of the Qilin of the Chu family. He was not only talented in literature but also in martial arts. However, he still did not expect that Zhao Cheng would break the unspoken rules that had been established for countless years without hesitation.
Once this unspoken rule is broken, it will undoubtedly become the real enemy of the whole world, completely ending the hope of capturing the dragon.
Even a wealthy emperor, at the height of his authority, would not dare to exterminate aristocratic families.
If he does it, not only will he be called a tyrant, but many rebels will appear in the world in an instant.
On the contrary, if you are harsh on the common people and fight against the clan, even if the world is constantly at war, at worst you will be able to gain the reputation of a conservative king.
"Zhao Thief, you are cruel and unkind and violate the laws of nature. You will definitely die a good death!"
"After tonight, there will be no place for you in this world!"
More than a dozen soldiers, after all, could not withstand the large number of people. Ying Tian's army was dispatched at this moment, with the Ying Tian army as the main body and the militia as the supplement. Apart from the necessary defense, there were more than 10,000 people left. It can be said that it was a mighty force. It was only a dozen A, I can’t afford to make any waves at all.
At the moment of death, Chu Taixing looked up to the sky and roared.
And similar roars occurred in many places.
There are always people in this world who are arrogant enough to think that they can represent the world.
There was a fierce war in the city, but Zhao Cheng was still writing and drawing in his study, making arrangements for the next step in an orderly manner. The wind of killing did not reach him.
It wasn't until dawn that all the generals in Ying Tian's army finally returned to Zhao Cheng with a strong smell of blood.
"Ji Yi, what do you think?!"
Zhao Cheng did not directly discuss rewards for merit, but asked this question first.
Hearing this, Lin Yi responded: "I once thought that generals, ministers, princes, and princes are different from ordinary people. But I didn't expect that when I was about to die, I would still show my ugly face. If I have no noble blood, I will kill him."
"There is no way in the sky, and there is no way for the ants to survive. The only way is to revolutionize the sky and go against the way. Only Huang Tian should stand!"
"Jin Yi!"
Zhao Cheng suddenly stood up.
"The general is here!"
"I order you to defend Wucheng!"
…
After a night of turmoil, mountains of corpses were transported out of the city and burned on fire to avoid causing a plague.
And the former nobles in the city, who had not been killed for the time being, were also hung up with iron plates, their crimes were listed in detail, and they were paraded in the streets.
At the same time, Ying Tianjun led the way to wipe out the power of the clan, vindicate the unjust, false and wrong cases, and inform the whole city.
Such a multi-pronged approach, as expected, the restlessness of people's hearts was calmed down in a very short period of time. Those who occasionally instigated the flames were quickly reported, caught, and quickly convicted. With the previous foundation, Zhao Cheng His reputation was quickly rectified, and there was no longer any talk of cruelty, only that it was as bright as a mirror and as clear as water.
But when the news spread to all corners of the world, it turned out that Zhao Cheng was cruel and ruthless. After capturing Wucheng, he turned his troops into bandits and massacred the city wantonly, and the whole world would be punished!
At the same time, all the heroes in the world also responded to the imperial edict to punish thieves, hoping to form an alliance again to attack Huang Tian in order to obtain rewards from the imperial court.
When the news came back, Zhao Cheng had already left Wucheng temporarily with a group of troops to support Huang Tian's main force and inherit the foundation by the way.
When his generals heard the news, they were all indignant, but Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "In the past, there was a general who directly sent his troops to eat people because of lack of military rations, but he was told that the general was righteous and obeyed the authority in a hurry. , is truly a hero, just because he did not commit any crime against the powerful; there are also generals who, when defending the city, obeyed the authority in a hurry and opened a large granary, but were directly beheaded by the court afterwards on the charge of embezzling a thousand taels of silver."
"They say I massacred the city, so be it. It's useless to argue. It will be a different situation when the public is wiped out in Tianjie."
"let's go!"
While talking, Zhao Cheng pulled the horse's rope and galloped out at the lead.
In the distance, the sun passed over the mountains, leaving only the bright backs of the soldiers.
The white robe and the white horse are galloping. At this moment, they look like gods.
The soldiers were also stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.
Everyone, at this moment, couldn't help but feel like the wheel of fate was turning.
