My name is Ren

Chapter 201 People like to guess riddles, this is because no one knows the answer until the moment the answer is revealed

Joseph considered it for a while, and naturally there was nothing wrong with it. He nodded immediately and said, "This idea is good, you can try it." He hesitated for a while, and asked with some uncertainty, "Are the rebels really going to massacre the city?"

The corner of Joberg's mouth twitched, and instead of answering his words, he took a deep breath and coughed twice.The noisy hall became quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes were on Joberg.The governor may not have much presence outside the city of Milin, but in this city, he still has a lot of status.After all, he lives here and controls the joys, sorrows and joys of the people living here.

Joberg did his best to keep his tone low and his emotions sad.These people in the hall are councilors from various neighborhoods, those who are very prestigious among the common people. To a certain extent, the gold aristocracy rules the aristocratic class, the aristocratic class rules the privileged class, and the privileged class rules the elite class, and these People are the elite class.They are the guarantee and foundation for the ruler to rule the common people.A bill, a policy, only if they are satisfied and approved, the common people will accept it, otherwise they can only be pushed forward by force, eventually forming many contradictions.

Joberg invited these people to let them tell the common people at the bottom and let them solve the things that he, a nobleman, could not solve.

"There is very bad news!", and the opening of the mouth was about to be shocking. Joberg still had some experience and experience in speeches, and perhaps he only had this ability left. "The rebels outside the city decided to launch a massacre after capturing Milin City and slaughter us."

His words exploded in the crowd like a huge bursting fireball, and everyone jumped up, scalded by the scorching flames.At this moment, there was only a tsunami-like discussion in the entire hall, and everyone had a completely unbelievable panic expression on their faces.Why can't they imagine why the rebels want to massacre the city?Everyone was expressing their views loudly, looking for the root of the problem, so that it was impossible to hear who was talking, and all the voices gathered together and became a harsh noise.

Joberg frowned, endured the torture of his ears, raised his hands repeatedly, and finally made people start to shut up. He said: "Speak one by one, and I can't hear what you want to express at all when you say it together.", He looked at the crowd and picked out the one that was more pleasing to the eye, and raised his hand, "You talk first."

The person named by him was an old guy in his 70s, dressed in linen clothes, who looked no different from a poor grandpa who was basking in the sun on the roadside waiting to die.But those who can enter this room, and those who can be summoned at this time, all have great prestige and status in their neighborhood.The old man's face was extremely ugly, as if a relative had died, and his tone was not so obedient, with a bit of gunpowder, "My lord governor, may I ask where you got the news from?"

The distrust in his eyes hurt Yoberg deeply. Joberg squinted his eyes and looked at the old man. The old man actually straightened his back very stiffly and raised his chin.Yeoberg, who cursed secretly in his heart and his eyes twitched, answered the question, "The news was told to me by Viscount Wren, and I also got confirmation from my channel."

Not only did the old guy not retreat into the crowd because of this answer, but he became even more aggressive, "Why did the rebels want to massacre the city? Also, if we surrender the city, will the other party give up massacring the city?"

His words once again ignited heated discussions. If Kaesong's surrender could avoid the massacre of Zaidao, these people would definitely give up the governor of Joberg without hesitation.After all, compared with the life of a person like Joberg, the lives of all the people in the entire city can be clearly distinguished.When the time comes for Joberg to be "suicided", wouldn't it be a good deal for everyone to offer up the city in exchange for peace?
Yoberger's face became extremely ugly, and there was a hint of panic in the depths of his eyes. Why is this plot different from his script?A few drops of sweat dripped from his forehead and temples, and just when he opened his mouth to answer this question, Joseph took a step forward and stood in front of Joberg.

"What this congressman said made people laugh. Why did the rebels massacre the city? Of course it couldn't be because of one person or one thing. The massacre of the city is not about killing a few chickens. There must be an important reason. Originally, Mr. Governor If you are willing to speak out, it will make you feel more pressure. But you ask like this, and everyone is eager to know the truth, so I have to answer this question for the governor, and I hope the governor can forgive me It’s rude.” Joberg was taken aback, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and agreed to Joseph’s request.

Joseph's complexion changed, and he became extremely solemn, "In order to rescue the city of Milin from being captured by the rebels, His Excellency Viscount Wren chose to attack the fief of the rebel leader with limited troops, hoping to disband the rebels and return to the city. However, His Excellency Rennes did not realize that these rebels had fallen into madness, even after His Excellency Rennes successfully wiped out the families of these rebels, beheaded their family members and spread them all the way to the imperial capital Under such circumstances, these frenzied rebels still did not choose to retreat, but chose to continue to attack the city, and they wanted to pass the damage on to us."

"They said that they wanted to slaughter the entire city of Milin, bury their families with them, and pay homage to the souls of their people. This is not a hatred that can be resolved by surrendering the city, even if you climb out of the city gate and kneel at the feet of the rebels , offer your wealth, wives and daughters, and they will not hesitate at all, they will cut off your heads as the spoils of their revenge." Joseph sneered, the laughter was full of irony and ridicule, It seems to be mocking these people for thinking of begging for peace at this time, "If surrender is willing to resolve the dispute, then Mr. Joberg will stand up and resolve this trouble immediately."

The old man's face changed suddenly, he had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it at this moment.What Joseph said was not wrong. If things are really as he said, then there is indeed no possibility of surrender.But the old man always felt an awkward feeling in his heart, as if he was being driven into a fast-running carriage, and he could get on but couldn't get off.

People quarreled and shouted again, facing the massacre, no one could maintain a good attitude.This is a matter of life and death for a family and a clan!

"Be quiet!" Joseph slapped his hands, "The only thing we can do now, and we must do it, is to let everyone know. We must work together and twist into a rope from top to bottom, everyone Fight for the city, for the family, for the clan. We are united now, not questioning each other, I know some of you are thinking of other things, like getting out of town, that's ok, I'll give you The opportunity to leave. You are not as important as you imagined, Milin City does not need you, just like you do not need the protection of Milin City."

"But the remaining people, those who are willing to trust the Governor and His Excellency Viscount Wren, we should stand together. The Governor told me just now that he is willing to take [-] gold coins from the public treasury and private treasury, Come and recruit at least [-] warriors who are willing to fight for Milin City, and join us, together with Milin City, to survive and die together!"

"You spread the news now and let everyone know. Don't worry about affecting their rest, because after tomorrow, if we still fail, then they can rest forever." Joseph glanced at John Berg, "After I finished speaking, you left immediately."

Regardless of whether these councilors believed what the governor and his chief of staff said, this news spread to the entire city in a very short period of time.The lights of the houses were lit, and people took to the streets to discuss.Some people were terrified and wept bitterly.Some people were furious, and the crowd was furious.The manpower arranged by Joseph quickly registered more than 1 young warriors who were willing to walk up the city wall and live and die with the city.

As time goes by, Joseph believes that more people, even unpaid, will go to the wall to resist the attack from the rebels outside the city.

Of course, there is truth, goodness and beauty, but there must also be ugliness and badness. People's hearts and human nature are inherently changeable and ugly.There was also a group of people who packed up their belongings and clamored to leave the city to join the rebels.Joseph had already anticipated and planned the actions of these people.He ordered people to put down the ladder on the top of the wall. Under the fierce eyes of the soldiers and the hostile eyes of other civilians, nearly 1000 "defectors" left the city of Milin under the cover of night.

They held torches and walked towards the camp of the rebels outside the city, holding white flags, shouting slogans of surrender and begging for mercy, cursing Joberg's lewdness and brutality, and praising the greatness of the rebels.

However, what greeted them was not smiling faces, but a row of knights rushing out of the camp.The knights raised their swords and spears indifferently, and killed the group of people with two charges back and forth.Some people who chose to wait and see on the city wall remained silent, quietly retreated from the top of the wall, returned to their own neighborhood, and began to recruit warriors.

"You seem to have known their end for a long time." Although it was midsummer, the temperature at this time was only ten degrees.The climate on the grasslands is always like this, it can kill people from heat during the day and freeze to death at night.He shook the robe he was wearing, and turned his face to look at Joseph.

Joseph smiled casually, with deep contempt in his eyes, he swept the torches in the distance and gradually extinguished them, but he could still see the corpses on the ground, "Of course I know, Mr. After being extremely angry, even in the face of good things, they will not have love and pity, but want to destroy them. Ren killed so many of their family members, and they are angry at this time. This group of people is tantamount to sending them A target for them to vent their anger and hatred in their hands, why should they accept them?"

"If there are still people who insist on going on, that is what we should worry about. Because they have passed such a vent, they can be a little calmer. As long as they are not all fools and are willing to accept part of it, it is enough to dissolve our plan." , Joseph said it very lightly, but it gave Joberg a trace of fear. The ugliness of human nature was described in Joseph's mouth in a calm tone, which only made him feel more stupid. "You see, those untouchables who still had hope have finally given up. They will expect us to defeat the enemy more than others."

"It wasn't until this time that I really understood that it wasn't that His Excellency Viscount Wren didn't come to rescue Milin City. He actually came a long time ago, but we didn't notice it before!" Joseph's eyes flickered in the night With the cold blue luster, he smiled lightly, as if he had gained something.
