Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"Yes!" Qianhu nodded in response, bowed and stepped aside.

Sun Qiaoqiao watched from the side with her beautiful eyes wandering. She didn't know how high an official the Inspector General was, but it was definitely very high. After all, the Xuanyiwei official just now had the token of a thousand households hanging around his waist.

A captain of the Xuanyi Guard on duty in the imperial capital was so respectful in front of Lu Xiaoliu. How terrifying was Xiaoliu's power?

Damn it, I'm so stupid! If I had stood firmer back then, I would have been the Lu family's eldest lady!

Even the captain of the Xuanyi Guard had to call me Madam Lu when he saw me. How could I be so despised and notorious now?

Not long after, a black-robed guard with a small flag came running over and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, the Inspector General, there is a mob, numbering approximately 7,000 to 8,000 people, and they are rapidly approaching this way."

Lu Xiaoliu looked calm, recalling the posture of his brother-in-law Song Xuan in his mind. His fingers tapped lightly on the seat, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It wasn't easy. After being blocked for a whole day and night, the Zhang family finally started to fight back!"

He stretched slightly, glanced at Sun Qiaoqiao, whose expression was extremely conflicted, and said with a chuckle, "I've always said I'd take you to the theater when I have time, but you always refuse.

It’s not too late now. Today, follow me and watch a great show!”

Sun Qiaoqiao trembled when she heard the sarcastic words.

Obviously, Lu Xiaoliu treated her very badly, but for some reason, although she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, her body became inexplicably excited and she subconsciously clamped her legs together.

In the distance on the street, there were bursts of noise.

"We want to live, we want to eat!"

"You bastard, give me back my land!"

A black crowd kept pouring in, and looking around, leading the way was a group of thugs with ferocious faces and fierce expressions.

These people were holding sticks, iron forks and other weapons in their hands. They gathered together in a mass, which immediately scared the people watching the show around them.

"Isn't the leader Liu Ergou? Wasn't he thrown into jail a while ago for molesting a woman? When did he get out?"

"I didn't realize this guy is so bold now. He used to just act like a gangster, but now he dares to take the lead in provoking the Xuanyi Guards!"

Liu Ergou listened to the discussions around him and felt indescribably proud.

He was originally a scoundrel outside the imperial capital. He used to extort money and fight. Normally, any important person would not even look at him.

But now it’s different. Liu Ergou is valued by the master of the Zhang family. The steward of the Zhang family said that as long as he performs well this time, he will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.

Although the target this time were the Xuanyi Guards, Liu Ergou hesitated for a moment before deciding to do it.

As the saying goes, fortune and honor are achieved through risk. The worst that can happen is death. If he doesn't try his best, he will be a worthless loser looked down upon by others all his life.

Moreover, although the Black-robed Guards are scary, there is a saying that the law does not punish the masses. This is the imperial capital, with nearly 10,000 people. Can the Black-robed Guards really kill them all without considering the consequences?

Although the Xuanyi Guards have a bad reputation, they have always dealt with officials and martial artists, and have not paid much attention to ordinary people. This is also the main reason why Liu Ergou dared to agree.

Many of the people who dared to enter the city and riot today thought so in their hearts.

There are so many people, the Xuanyiwei can’t kill them all, right?

In the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials in the imperial capital have been replaced one after another, but large-scale killings of civilians have never occurred.

Liu Ergou, holding a butcher knife, shouted fiercely, "Fellow villagers, do you all know that the Xuanyi Guards, a bunch of scoundrels, have instigated the emperor to take our land back into the hands of the imperial court?

From now on, you will have no land to farm, and your whole family will starve to death!

Lord Zhang Yuan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was firmly opposed to this matter, which caused him trouble and he was besieged by the Xuanyi Guards!

If we fail to protect Lord Zhang today, all your property and land will be confiscated once the imperial decree comes down!

Everyone said, what should we do? "

After a brief silence, the thousands of rioters behind Liu Ergou roared, "Kill the dog thief! We will defend Lord Zhang to the death!"

Chapter 506 Song Xuan: The implementation of new policies will inevitably lead to bloodshed!

The shouts and cries of killing resounded through the sky, which was truly shocking. Some of the people who had come to watch the show and had fields at home were now all in shock and confusion.

Some people were attracted by the shouting of fighting and started shouting as well.

Regardless of whether what Liu Ergou said was true or not, it involved land and their own interests. Even if they didn't dare to be enemies with the Xuanyi Guards, they could still help and shout a few words.

Sun Qiaoqiao turned pale with fright.

Although she is a green tea girl, she is not stupid. Such a large-scale riot among the people, especially happening in the imperial capital, will inevitably be reported to the emperor and known by the court and the emperor.

This time, Xiaoliu is really in big trouble.

She had been with her father since she was a child and knew a lot from what she had seen and heard. The thing that an official feared most was a large-scale riot among the people under his rule.

No matter what the cause, even if the mob is suppressed on the spot, the court will inevitably hold those responsible accountable afterwards.

At the very least, he will be dismissed from office and imprisoned, and at the worst, he will be beheaded to appease the public anger!

"It's over! It's over!"

She felt desperate. I just wanted to raise more fish in the pond, but now it has caused a riot among the people.

When the emperor investigated, he found out that it was Sun Qiaoqiao who caused the whole thing. Shouldn't she be sentenced to death by slow slicing?

"Brother Lu, don't act on impulse!"

She tried to persuade him with trembling lips, but when she turned around, she found that Lu Xiaoliu had stood up at some point, with the corners of his mouth raised more obviously than before, and his face looked a little excited.

Lu Xiaoliu was really excited.

In all his life, this was the first time he had experienced such a grand scene.

At this moment, he kept wondering in his mind, if his brother-in-law Song Xuan were here, what orders would he give?

Soon, a clear answer emerged in his mind.

kill!

During the Qingzhou Rebellion, my brother-in-law killed millions with just one sword. No matter who you are, whether you are a man or a woman, old or young, as long as you hold a weapon and stand on the opposite side, you are the enemy!

When dealing with the enemy, there is no need to think too much, just one word - kill!

When he stood up, the mob that was originally shouting and roaring suddenly quieted down, and they all wanted to know how this bastard from the Black Guard would react next.

Lu Xiaoliu glanced around and saw many people dressed like scholars in the crowd. If nothing unexpected happened, these people should be the managers appointed by the Zhang family.

It was these people who instigated and brought together such a mob.

Seeing Lu Xiaoliu's gaze sweeping over, some people even sneered.

I know you, the Xuanyi Guards, are ruthless, but this is not Mingzhou or Qingzhou, this is the imperial capital.

Under the feet of the emperor, the world is clear and bright. Do you really dare to massacre the people?

...

Inside the Commander's Office, on the top floor of an attic, Song Xuan was eating iced watermelon. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sneer.

"These people really only know how to use this trick over and over again."

Having had previous experience in Jianghuai Prefecture in Mingzhou, Song Xuan knew that these civil servants liked to incite riots among the people.

But if you only use this trick over and over again, it will become a bit too boring.

"The Zhang family's methods are unworthy of their status!"

Victoria Song was a little disappointed. "They don't think that just because we, the Xuanyi Guards, dared to kill people in Mingzhou, we wouldn't dare to do that in the imperial capital, right?"

Song Xuan said, "During the time of the old emperor, this tactic was almost always effective everywhere. Whenever taxes were collected, the people would riot and resist, and the tax collectors would be beaten to death. In the end, the localities would just push a few people as scapegoats, and the matter would be dropped."

As he spoke, he sighed, "Speaking of this, I also admit it. The old emperor would rather not collect taxes than release the first-class Xuanyi Guards in the imperial capital.

The people are always rioting because of him!"

Victoria Song hummed, "So that old pervert's death was not unjust!"

Song Erni holds a grudge very deeply and has not yet forgotten that the old man issued an imperial decree to make her his concubine.

"By the way, brother, how far are you going to kill these rioters?"

Song Xuan spat out some watermelon seeds and said, "Reform is bound to be bloodless. With mobs like this, we'll kill as many as we can!"

"After today, the emperor will issue a decree to initiate a new policy, nationalizing the land. No one can change this.

It is foreseeable that there will be more and more riots like today in various state capitals in the future.

Therefore, we must set an example for local government officials and local Xuanyi Guards.

Let them have a reference when dealing with this kind of thing!"

He exhaled lightly, "I want everyone in the world to know how determined the court is to implement the new policy. Even the people of the imperial capital will be killed if they dare to oppose it, let alone other places?

Only if the killing is brutal enough and frightens people everywhere, will the wealthy families in the various states dare not continue to use this method of inciting the people to riot.

In this way, many fewer people will die in the process of implementing the new policy."

Victoria Song suddenly realized: "Killing one person and saving ten thousand people, brother, you are killing ten thousand people and saving hundreds of millions of people, your merits are immeasurable!"

Song Xuan handed her a piece of watermelon and said, "Don't saw wood for now. Eat the watermelon and watch the show! It's time to test whether Lu Xiaoliu is suitable for a high position in the Xuanyi Guard!"

...

Lu Xiaoliu calmly watched the mob that surrounded him.

"The Xuanyi Guards are the emperor's personal troops. You are armed with weapons and have gathered a large number of people to besiege the emperor's personal troops. Do you know that you have committed the crime of treason?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, some people on both sides of the street who were watching the excitement and shouting subconsciously shrank back and retreated to the back of the crowd.

After all, the Xuanyi Guards had a bad reputation. They were not tenants of the Zhang family, nor did they take any money from the Zhang family. It was okay for them to shout a few words to cheer them on, but if they were really linked to treason, that would be absolutely unacceptable.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people watching the show decreased significantly. Lu Xiaoliu ignored them and quietly looked at Liu Ergou and the thousands of rioters behind him.

"Don't say I won't give you a chance to live. Now, lay down your weapons and go home immediately. I will pretend you never came!"

"I'll give you ten breaths to consider. After ten breaths, anyone who remains here will be treated as a traitor and killed without mercy!"

At this moment, the people who were watching the show suddenly scattered.

They are all old people who make a living in the imperial capital. They all understand that watching a show is risky. Looking at the posture of the Xuanyi Guards, it is obvious that they are going to start a killing spree. If they don't leave now, what will happen if they are accidentally injured?

The onlookers dispersed in a hurry, and the mob behind Liu Ergou was also in an uproar at this moment, and many of them showed signs of struggle on their faces.

They are tenants of the Zhang family and need to rely on the Zhang family for food. They also took money from the Zhang family last night. It is their duty to work for the Zhang family.

But Lu Xiaoliu's words were accusing him of treason, which was a serious crime, and some people were already afraid.

Seeing that the team was showing some signs of disintegration, Liu Ergou brandished the butcher knife in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, don't be intimidated by this bastard. We didn't kill or burn anyone. We are just pleading for the people to save Mr. Zhang!"

As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. There are so many of us here at the feet of the emperor. Do you think the Black Guards dare to kill us all?"

After he shouted like this, the mob, who were originally hesitant, became excited and followed Liu Ergou step by step forward.

As he walked, he yelled at Lu Xiaoliu, "Retreat!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!"

Lu Xiaoliu quietly watched the approaching mob and sighed, "Medicine can't cure fatal diseases, but Buddha can save those who are destined to be saved. On the road to the underworld, you can all travel together!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it suddenly, "Ten breaths of time is up."

"kill!"

"Leave no one behind!"

Chapter 507 If I can’t handle it, there’s still my brother-in-law!

As Lu Xiaoliu finished speaking, teams of Xuanyiwei in black battle robes appeared on the tops of the buildings around the street. They drew their bows and arrows and surrounded the mob.

The breath of bloodthirsty killing is overwhelming!

Anyone who can join the Law Enforcement Department has killed a lot of people. After receiving Lu Xiaoliu's order, a murderous aura burst out.

Liu Ergou panicked, his expression changed drastically, but he continued to shout: "Don't be afraid, everyone. This is the imperial capital. These bastards are just trying to scare us. They don't dare..."

call out!

An iron arrow accurately hit Liu Ergou's eyebrows, piercing his head. The feathers at the end of the arrow trembled slightly, splashing a pool of blood.

This sudden scene really shocked everyone, and after Liu Ergou died, the next moment, the buzzing sound of vibrating bowstrings could be heard one after another.

A heavy rain of arrows swept over like an overwhelming force, the sound of flesh being pierced rang out one after another, and a strong smell of blood spread in the streets.

"Help, help..."

"Please forgive me, I won't dare to do it again..."
