The smell of blood!

The thick smell of blood filled the air in front of the Yamen. The servants and young men kneeling in front of the Yamen all looked at the scene in front of them with pale faces.

Click, click...

But with just a few cuts, those heads fell off.

In a daze, Xu Mingjie felt in a trance. He stared at the blood on the ground. Although all this was expected, he never thought that the other party would kill so neatly and kill so well.

It's... ruthless!

Terrified, he couldn't help but swallow.

Once again, the words of "The King of Iron Faced Mountain" echoed in his ears.

"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 just what you get from squeezing my people. God is not fair, and people do it themselves. If people are unfair, I will do it for everyone in the world!"

Deafening words filled his mind, collided, impacted his consciousness, and tortured his soul.

How can you be so well clothed and well fed?

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

How can you be so virtuous that you can have slaves everywhere?...

In a daze, when Xu Mingjie raised his head, he saw the King of Tiemian Mountain standing in front of the "Jie Shi Pavilion" in front of the Yamen. He was facing the stone tablet with the "Jie Stone Inscription" inscribed on it, and seemed to be thinking about something.

.

"Your salary is your salary, and the people anoint the people. It is easy for the people to abuse you, but it is difficult for God to bully you."

Reciting the sixteen-character "Jie Stone Inscription", Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help sighing in his heart. Although Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, erected these sixteen-character stone inscriptions in various prefectures and counties in front of the lobby and in the corridor, and built the "Jie Stone Pavilion".

Protection. But among the officials in the world, how many people remember the sixteen-character precept stone inscription that can be seen every day when entering and exiting the Yamen?

Acting for personal gain and perverting the law cannot be tolerated by nature...

But where is the truth?

Since Heaven has no way, I will take charge of it myself!

When he looked back again, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes became more determined. At this moment, the slightest hesitation had completely dissipated from his heart!

Even while kneeling on the ground, Xu Mingjie could feel the changes that took place when the Mountain King turned around.

When he turned around and looked at the servant, Ding Zhuang, who was kneeling on the ground like sifting chaff, Zhu Guoqiang said to them.

"Well, now that the chief culprit has been killed, you all have been bewitched by them to become enemies of me, Taishan Yongyong. Zhu has never been a person who is easy to kill, let alone an enemy of my poor people. Tell them, let them

Take out all the IOUs written by the people at home, and also take a thousand taels of silver and a thousand stones of grain to atone for your sins. If not, you must be a heinous sinner. When the time comes, Zhu will definitely do justice for heaven again!"

"Yes, yes, the villain knows..."

The housekeepers and servants kneeling on the ground kowtowed repeatedly, showing no resistance at all. When they ran back to each house to report the news, Zhu Guoqiang stared at the kneeling people on the ground and said.

"If you are interested in following us up the mountain to do justice for heaven, we will give your family five taels of silver and five stones of food, and you will follow us up the mountain..."

Although it is said to be "intentional", facing the choking smell of blood, the servants and young men kneeling on the ground dare not be "intentional". After all, people are always greedy for life.

Looking back at the corpse on the ground, Ding Pengcheng asked with some confusion.

"The boss, why do you want to kill them?"

After listening to his question, Zhu Guoqiang smiled.

"It's not that we want to kill them, but we must kill them. If we don't kill them, how can we deter everyone? If we don't kill them, how can we let people around here know our reputation as "Taishan thieves"? If we don't kill people now, we will kill more people in the future."

There are so many people. Only by killing them can others know the consequences of going against the "Taishan Bandits"..."

Faintly hearing the words of the Mountain King and another person on the steps, Xu Mingjie thought for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"I am surprised by what the great master said. What the great master did today is really the righteousness of "taking against the odds, obeying and guarding, the way of Tang and Wu."..."

The sudden words made Zhu Guoqiang look aside, and when he saw the man kneeling on the ground, he asked.

"Oh? The Way of Tang and Wu, then tell me, what is the Tao of Tang and Wu?"

The Shan Dawang's rhetorical question made Xu Mingjie heave a sigh of relief. In any case, he finally got through this hurdle.

"Adverse take, obey and defend, Tang and Wu follow the way. After the matter is settled, repay with righteousness, which means that when a great cause is achieved, you may as well attack with strong means and then govern with benevolence and righteousness. This is what Shang Tang and Zhou Wu

The principle of pacifying the world. When the world is pacified in the future, then treat the people with benevolence and righteousness so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This is what the sage kings and lords of the past and present have done!"

Oops!

Holy King and Ming Lord!

Zhu Guoqiang looked at this scholar-looking guy with amusement. He didn't expect that there was such an explanation. These scholars are really... quite good at talking nonsense.

"Oh, in your opinion, we are no longer bandits?"

"If the boss is a thief, how can he order each family to bring in their account books and IOUs?"

At this time, Xu Mingjie no longer panicked as before. The reason why he took the initiative to stand up was because he knew that whether he wanted to or not, he had already boarded the pirate ship. As for the second thing, in his opinion, this group of "

"The Taishan Thief" seems to have great ambitions, at least the mountain king in front of him definitely has great ambitions.

"Oh? Really?"

With his eyes narrowed into slits, Zhu Guoqiang asked.

Asking for account books and IOUs was what he learned from revolutionaries in another world - many people only saw the fight against the local tyrants and divided the fields, but they did not see that during the Long March, it became "attack the local tyrants and burn IOUs", because the Long March was

In mobile warfare, it is naturally unrealistic to allocate fields - once the troops leave, the allocated land will still be taken back by the local tyrants, but burning IOUs is different - what the gentry in the past dynasties was best at was exploiting the people with usury and burning the IOU account books

, at least it can save a lot of Yang Bailao in the world.

"Even the government has to recognize IOUs written in black and white. Once the big boss burns the IOU, I don't know how many Zouping people will no longer have to sell their children and daughters to repay the usurious loans from the evil gentry. What the big boss did to me, the Zouping people, is really

It is a gift of survival! How can such a righteous deed be done by thieves and bandits? The great master and all the brothers are really righteous men who save the lives of our ordinary people! The scholar has made a name for himself on behalf of the people of Zouping, and thanks the great master for the grace of survival!"

Looking at the scholar kowtow to thank him, at this moment, Zhu Guoqiang seemed to understand why everyone always likes "people who understand current affairs", not for other reasons, because...such people are really useful!

Suddenly, Zhu Guoqiang burst out laughing, stared at the man kneeling on the ground, and laughed.

"My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and my husband is the one who knows me. These words of my husband are exactly what Zhu has in mind!"

After saying that, Zhu Guoqiang bent down and helped him up personally and said.

"Sir, please get up quickly..."
