Chapter 124 I came to ** City for only three things
That night, the county magistrate Zhao Kuo and the entire family of King Rui were all arrested. They were not even taken to the prison, but were detained on the spot.
Shen Changgong was so sleepy that he just found a place to sleep in the palace. The other soldiers could also take turns sleeping.
Early the next morning, many people were surprised to find that the owner of ** City had changed.
Originally, the flags of King Rui and Dayan were hoisted on the city walls, after all, this was King Rui's fiefdom.
But now, it has become the flag of Lanling King and Dayan.
What happened last night? How did the imperial army invade overnight?
The people in the city were originally worried that they would be ravaged by the war and would be drafted by King Rui to the city walls to resist the imperial army. Now they saw that Lanling Daqingtian had broken the city overnight without even much killing, and they finally felt relieved.
With Lanling Daqingtian here, they can finally live a good life with clean government and no longer have to worry about being oppressed and exploited by King Rui and the government.
A group of people were standing at the Caishikou, talking among themselves about what happened last night. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the street in the distance.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, everyone!"
Everyone was so scared that they hid at the edge and looked over there. They saw a large group of soldiers pushing some people in white coats coming towards them.
Some of those people were wearing shackles and handcuffs, while others were just tied with ropes and wrists, and were pushed around by the soldiers.
These people were crying and very reluctant, which was understandable, after all, no one wanted to have their head chopped off.
Last night I was eating hotpot and singing at home, and suddenly I was beheaded. No one can accept this huge gap.
The people around were all excited and took rotten leaves and rotten eggs picked up from the vegetable market and threw them at those people.
These people were the masters and lackeys of Prince Rui's Mansion, as well as corrupt officials, who were all packed up and sent here at this time.
The oppressed people finally got the chance to vent their hatred and attacked these people fiercely.
While smashing the objects, they also sang powerful Chinese curses and cordially greeted the mothers of these officials, venting all the grievances in their hearts.
Behind these people, there was a luxurious carriage with a small flag on it with the three big words "Lanling King" written on it.
When the people saw this carriage, their attitudes changed drastically. They all knelt down and shouted "Lanling Daqingtian" and kowtowed to the Daqingtian.
The team finally arrived at Caishikou, and the prisoners were forced to kneel on the execution ground. The executioner sharpened his knife, ready to chop off their heads.
Lanling Daqingtian got off the carriage and walked slowly to the front of the judge's desk. He was already very handsome in his military armor, and now standing in the sun, he looked even more heroic and extraordinary.
Shen Changgong stood up straight, holding the sword that represented his royal power in his hand, leaning on the ground, pressing the hilt with both hands, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
In fact, Shen Changgong had no intention of coming. After all, for such a matter as chopping off a head, he, the great Lanling King, needed to come in person? That would really be giving King Rui too much face.
However, considering that they would have to fight a fierce battle with the enemy for a long time, and might need the help of the people in the city, and that the military and civilians needed to be united to defend their homes, Shen Changgong felt that it would be best for him to come in person and win the hearts of the people.
"My fellow countrymen! I believe that even if you have never seen me, you have at least heard of my name.
My name is Shen Changgong. Like you, I come from a common family.
My ancestors were also farmers and vendors, including my father, who is similar to the owner of the vegetable store behind you.
So you and I are the same people!"
Shen Changgong did not call himself the King. He first talked about his life experience, which greatly narrowed the distance between him and the people, making them laugh heartily. The eyes they looked at him became much more friendly.
Yes, this prince is also the grandson of a farmer and the son of a commoner. Like them, he comes from the lowest class.
Shen Changgong continued,
"You live in ** City, and I live in the capital. If I were to say the biggest difference between the capital and here, it would probably be that there are more powerful people and corrupt officials.
Like you, I am also a person who has been oppressed by corrupt officials and powerful people.
Therefore, after I gained power, I would not hesitate to wield my sword against those powerful people, chop off their heads, and avenge the suffering of the people!"
"it is good!"
"Lanling Daqingtian is great!"
"Kill these people quickly, we can't wait any longer!"
Shen Changgong put on a cold smile and continued,
"The day before yesterday, all the dignitaries in the capital were killed. Today, I came to ** City for three reasons!
First! Eliminate those corrupt officials who oppress the people, make them pay with blood, and avenge you and the innocent people they killed!
Second! Execute the traitorous King Rui! This beast, King Rui, has been blessed by the emperor for generations, and the blood of the Great Yan royal family flows in his body.
The emperor gave him power and let him lead troops so that he could protect the people, resist foreign enemies and defend the area.
But instead of protecting you, he hurt you even more!
Instead of resisting foreign enemies, he colluded with Prince Ning, rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and led the Kun Kingdom's bandit soldiers into our country.
As a prince, he sold out his country for personal gain. He betrayed his ancestors, betrayed you, and betrayed millions of people in Dayan.
You tell me! Should he be killed? "
"Deserves to be killed!"
"Deserves to be killed!"
"Deserves to be killed!"
The people were outraged. Even a dog wouldn't mind being poor, but these kings, who lived in luxury, wanted to betray their country. Bah, they were worse than dogs.
Shen Changgong drew out his sword and shouted,
"kill!!!"
The executioners immediately raised their butcher knives, and Prince Rui, the county magistrate and others rolled down the execution platform without their heads.
The people's blood was immediately ignited.
"The third thing I want to say is that Kun Nation's army, because that beast Prince Ning opened the country's borders, is now only four days away from our ** City!
The imperial reinforcements were already on the way.
Those beasts and bastards from Kun Country want to destroy our country, enslave you people, make you their slaves, and make you their victims.
They want to seize your land, kill your families, rape your wives and daughters, and want to destroy our country and race!
Tell me, do you agree or not? "
"No!"
"Let's fight the Kun country bastards!"
"Your Majesty, please tell us what you want us to do. We will fight alongside you!"
"My Lord, just because you killed the corrupt officials, my life is yours!"
"We will live and die with the city!"
