The people in Zouping City who were originally awakened by the sound of gongs and wanted to scare away the "horse thieves" with their momentum now trembled and hid in their homes, blocking the doors with cabinets, tables and other objects to let their wives.

The women were hiding under the bed or in a box, fearing that thieves would break into their home. Now they just prayed that the thieves would leave quickly.

This horse thief is too powerful.

Not only was the county magistrate killed, but all the gentlemen were also arrested. Every one of them was imprisoned in the county government office, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Give money to redeem your life!

For Zhang Dahu and others who were kneeling in the government hall, there was only one thought left in their minds.

That's survival!

Especially Zhang Dahu and Zhang Wenyuan were even more upset. Looking at the thieves wearing helmets and armor, they had only one thought in their minds.

These damn horse thieves are so powerful. They look more powerful than the imperial army.

However, it seems that horse thieves have always been more powerful than the official army.

But I have never seen thieves wearing armor, especially since these thieves not only wear armor, but also wear iron masks, which is very rare.

Zhu Guoqiang, who was in the Yamen study room, looked at the bookshelves and other items in the study room, then picked up a vase and looked at it.

"Jiajing Year System".

"Hey, this is an old thing. This bottle rack seems to be made of mahogany. Not bad, not bad..."

Not only is it great, the array in this study alone is worth tens of millions!

Without thinking, Zhu Guoqiang took all these things away - to a rented warehouse in another world. In addition to the bookshelves, of course there were also many books inside, and even the paintings on the wall, a pair of

The pictures of ladies painted by unknown painters were also put away.

It wasn't until the study room was cleared that Zhu Guoqiang left the back office and went to the front office.

"I've seen the boss!"

When he entered the government hall, Zhu Guoqiang didn't even look at the people kneeling on the ground, and asked directly.

"Where is the county magistrate?"

"If we get back to the boss, the dog officer will have already died in the battle."

"Zhu led all the brothers into the city. Instead of surrendering, the county magistrate actually dared to resist. He chopped off his head and hung it outside the door..."

The murderous words fell on everyone's ears, making everyone tremble, especially Zhang Dahu, who felt as if his crotch was wet and urine flowed out...

Zhu Guoqiang, who wanted this effect, kept a straight face... In fact, others couldn't see it. After all, he was wearing an iron mask. In the Ming Dynasty, it was common for generals to wear iron masks to protect their faces (1), but,

He left it alone to prevent his appearance from being seen by others.

Zhu Guoqiang, whose iron face painted in lacquer looked like a demon, shouted in a deep voice when he came into the hall.

"You were the one who recruited those young men."

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life..."

Everyone kowtowed and begged for mercy. For them, the only thought now was to survive.

"Do you want to live?"

"Want to live, want to live."

"Since you want to live, then why did you resist Zhu when he led the brothers into the city!"

You are horse thieves, why don't you resist?

"You guys deserve to die, deserve to die..."

What you think in your heart and what you say with your mouth are completely different.

While they were talking, Zhu Guoqiang sneered.

"Damn! You all deserve to die!"

Zhu Guoqiang said loudly as the crowd stared and trembled, like sifting chaff.

"We were originally good people, but we were forced to lose our way of living by you corrupt officials and evil gentry, so we were forced to turn into thieves. This time Zhu went down the mountain, not for wealth, not for sex, but to do justice for heaven!"

Once again, Zhu Guoqiang said the words "do justice for heaven" and then asked loudly.

"Tell me, what's wrong with the people? They work hard all day long but don't have enough food to eat?"

"What's the crime of the people? All the cultivated fields are for your own use?"

"What is the crime of the common people? They are competing for clothes to keep out the cold and shelter..."

Staring at them, Zhu Guoqiang's words increased.

"How can you be so well clothed and well fed?"

"How virtuous are you? Can you have many wives and concubines?"

"How virtuous are you that you can have slaves everywhere?"

"What you eat and use is nothing more than squeezing the gains of my people. Heaven is unfair, and people are unfair. If people are unfair, I will do it for everyone in the world! Today, you want to live. Although I am not a person who likes to kill, I can't.

We can't let you evildoers live, come and chop them all down!"

The successive questions made Zhu Guoqiang's voice become colder and colder, and the atmosphere here became tighter and tighter. The gentry kneeling on the ground all turned pale and trembled, begging for mercy...

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"Spare my life..."

In the midst of everyone's begging for mercy, Sun Qiang and others were ordered to do so. Although they were afraid in their hearts, they could only harden their hearts and dragged these people outside the yamen. Then they held the big sword with both hands and chopped them.

The person's head was chopped off with one knife.

"Spare my life..."

The blood from the necks of Zhang Dahu and others who had their heads cut off shot out like fireworks, drenching the people next to them with blood.

But in just a moment, there were more than a dozen headless corpses in front of the Yamen. Staring at those corpses, Zhu Guoqiang didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart.

dead!

In the past few months, he has seen too much, and he has started killing people since the first day of time travel.

To survive!

Sometimes, you have to do something no matter how reluctant you are. Who are these people?

He is a well-dressed gentry!

He is a rich man with many wives and concubines!

To attack them is to attack the local tycoons!

Well, this is to beat the local tyrants!

As for innocence?

Not to mention other things, who would care about innocent people in this Huaxia Luchen incident?

When the Qing Dynasty's sword comes, they will not ask who is the gentry and who is the common people. They will ask who is innocent?

"Hang their heads in front of the Yamen and tell everyone that this is the fate of those who dare to be enemies of our "Taishan Volunteers"!" From the beginning to the end, Zhu Guoqiang did not look directly at the local gentry who were killed. To him,

Said that these people are just dead people...at most they died a few years early. A few years later, they would either die from the torture of rogue bandits or the hands of the Qing army.

They are all dead anyway. Instead of dying in a few years, it is better to play a role now. At least now, their death is valuable, at least... they will not become the so-called "Manchu soldiers" like in history.

Demonstrators of "military might". By then, their death will only make the cowards fear the butcher knife of the Qing Dynasty, and then kneel to the ground and surrender to the Qing Dynasty!

Instead of doing this, it is better to use them to prove the consequences of being an enemy of the "Taishan Volunteers"!
