Chapter 1082: The king is like a boat, and the trembling person is like walking on thin ice (Part 1)
This cry seems to come from the howl of an eternal monster when it faces death. It is also the roar of the seeds deep in everyone's heart that have long been obliterated by reality!
Yes, who gave you the courage?
Fang Jun stood proudly on the long street with his arms raised high: "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs. We, the people of the Tang Dynasty, are born to fight with the sky, the earth, and the enemy, and use our blood and lives to fight for survival.
The right to go down! But now, we still have to fight with those scum who regard us as stupid dogs! Some nobles who are above us have lost their conscience. Their hearts are the hearts of beasts, and they ignore the suffering of those young girls.
Begging, crying and begging for mercy, they viciously poured hot copper juice and wax oil into the bellies of those girls, cut off their tongues, and broke their bones. They were acting like animals, and there was nothing left.
Human nature? What kind of poetry and etiquette heirlooms, what kind of hairpin family, I’m going to fuck you!”
The common people's blood was brimming with blood, and they all yelled: "Go to hell!"
The sound shocks the world!
Someone in the crowd raised their arms and shouted: "The Yuan family is so unkind and unscrupulous because of their wealth. We will go to the Yuan family to get an explanation!"
"Absolutely, this case doesn't need to be tried at all, just let the Yuan family pay with their lives!"
"What else can I say about this beast's house? Smash him to pieces!"
"Smash him!"
"Smash him!"
"Neighbors, follow me!"
The situation suddenly got out of control!
The common people, who had been oppressed by the aristocratic clans for a long time, were in a state of agitation. In front of them were eighty-one horrific corpses of young girls. Incited by Fang Jun's words, the people were so angry that they lost their minds.
When one of them said the words "smash him", it was like a spark falling from a powder keg and igniting instantly!
The common people drove the carts carrying the bodies of eighty-one girls and rushed towards Daodefang where the Yuan family was located with red eyes!
The Imperial Guards who were on guard were immediately panicked. Their formation was disrupted by the people, but they did not dare to seriously draw out their horizontal swords and start killing!
These are the people of Chang'an and the people of the Tang Dynasty!
Many of them are neighbors, relatives and friends. How can this knife be lifted up and dropped?
Dugu Mou's face turned pale. Naturally, he knew how devastating the noise of the crazy people would be!
Immediately he shouted on his horse: "Are you going to die if you attack the imperial army? Why don't you disperse quickly, otherwise you won't blame me for being unkind... Oops, who the hell is going to hit me?"
Halfway through his words, Dugu Mou was hit hard on the lower back by a crutch from behind him. He became furious, twisted his waist and turned around, with half of his sword drawn out.
But the person behind him was not afraid at all. Instead of being afraid, he waved his walking stick and hit Dugu Mou on the leg with a stick, cursing: "How dare you kill this old man? Okay, you Dugu Mou, you are really unreasonable."
Then kill even me, an old dog who has spent his whole life for your Dugu family!"
When he saw the old man's face clearly, Dugumou was dumbfounded...
He quickly jumped off the horse and was hit with a cane on his shoulder. He said with a bitter face: "Uncle, why are you here?"
The old man was dressed in commoner clothes and had a stooped body, but his lean body was like steel and iron bones, exuding a strong aura. However, his left trouser leg was empty and one leg was missing.
Hearing the words, the old man angrily said: "How can I not come? If I don't come, you, Dugu Mou, will become the executioner of a noble family, kill all the untouchables like us, and use our blood to become the descendants of your family.
The first person’s name?”
Dugumou smiled bitterly and said: "What did the old man say? Even if Dugumou was killed with a sword, how could he dare to hurt a hair of the old man?"
This old man was his father, Dugu Yanyun's personal entourage, who had watched Dugu Mou grow up since he was a child. Following Dugu Yanyun's bloody battle with Xuanwu Gate and the battle with Jieli Khan, it ended when Dugu Yanyun was killed in battle.
One Leg, feeling guilty for failing to protect Dugu Yanyun, refused all rewards from the court and preferred to be a commoner.
Such a retainer is like an elder, having devoted his whole life to the Dugu family. How dare Dugu Mou be disrespectful at all?
The old man was unwilling to give up. He hit Dugu Mou with the crutch in his hand, and shouted angrily: "I think you have become a consort or a general, and you have forgotten the Dugu family's family motto! Our Dugu family has many generations of honors.
It’s true, the daughter of the Dugu family earned it for the Dugu family! But which of the men in the Dugu family is not a well-known man, and which one can sit on his credit book and be content with being a relative of the emperor who only eats but does not work?
Now you can raise a butcher's knife against the defenseless people, and in the future you can kill all our retainers who have sacrificed their blood and sweat for the Dugu family! Today, I will do the following to replace your lesson for me who died at the border of the desert.
I’m teaching you a lesson, don’t forget the Dugu family’s family motto of treating people well and being benevolent and righteous!”
The old man was quite old and was missing a leg, but his hands were extremely strong. He danced with the cane like a tiger, beating Dugu Mou to the point of suffering, but he didn't dare to resist, so he could only hold his arms to the left and right to block the attack.
All the soldiers around were dumbfounded.
Without orders from the commander-in-chief, how could these little pawns dare to kill the people?
But how can we resist this surging crowd if we don’t use deadly force?
In just a moment, the originally tight formation was shattered into pieces, and the soldiers were in an extremely embarrassed state. Some women they knew even spat, punched, scratched, and cursed when they passed by.
The phrase "a running dog of a noble family" made the soldiers blush with shame.
Soldiers only follow orders, how dare they resist military orders?
The soldiers were extremely aggrieved...
And the common people pushed the carts carrying the remains and rushed straight to the Yuan family mansion in Daodefang. Along the way, they were surrounded by countless people who came to watch. The crowd became larger and larger, and the momentum was overwhelming, sweeping the entire building.
Chang'an City!
When the old man was tired from fighting, he stopped his hand and followed the large army to Daodefang. Only then did Dugu Mou, his helmet tilted and his armor, gasp in embarrassment.
Seeing the turbulent flow of people on the street rushing into the distance, and the messy footsteps trampling the snow into a mess, Dugu Mou stared and stamped his feet in annoyance: "This time, the Marquis has suffered miserably!"
Fang Jun clasped his hands behind his back, letting the heavy snow fall on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "General Dugu has misunderstood me. Maybe I saved General Dugu."
Dugumou was stunned and looked confused.
However, although he was a military commander who was not good at politics and was not good at intrigues, he was not a fool after all. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Fang Jun meant.
As a general of the Forbidden Army, it is his responsibility to stop the people. Now that the people are angry and going to Daodefang, it is already his dereliction of duty. If the Yuan family suffers casualties under the attack of the people, his responsibility will be even greater, and he may be dismissed from office!
But if you want to stop the people, how can you stop them?
Unless the killer is ruthless and the riot is suppressed with blood!
But this is the city of Chang'an, an important place in the capital, and at the feet of the emperor!
No one will care whether you are the common people attacking the army. Everyone will only see the common people being killed by your butcher knife, Dugu Mou. The whole world will regard Dugu Mou as a "butcher", facing the "butcher" of the common people raising the butcher knife.
Butcher"!
Who will bear this crime?
The aristocratic family is unwilling, the emperor will not give up and wants to give an explanation to the people of the world, and the public opinion in the world will only add fuel to the flames. The only way out for him is to die and apologize!
Not only would he have to use his own life to quell the anger of the world, but the Dugu family would also suffer a brutal blow, and it would not be impossible for him to be wiped out accidentally...
Dugu Mou shivered violently and looked at Fang Jun with eyes full of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Why do you still need me to thank you?
Fang Jun seemed to have read through Dugu Mou's thoughts and smiled inscrutably: "General, don't be grateful to me. You should quickly lead your troops to Daodefang and restrain the people not to expand the scope of the attack. It is only the Yuan family that will bear this huge blow."
Be angry..."
Dugumou's heart clenched suddenly.
Yes, the anger of the people comes from the cruelty of the Yuan family, but who can guarantee that this anger will not spread to other families, or even sweep the entire Chang'an?
Think about the consequences...
Dugu Mou didn't even look at Fang Jun, he immediately got on his horse and shouted: "Hurry up and follow me to blockade Daodefang!"
The soldiers immediately organized themselves into formation and left quickly.
It was snowing heavily, and Fang Jun stood proudly, looking up at the sky with dancing snowflakes.
This is the power that comes from freedom, which is enough to destroy the world and move mountains and seas. The fate of the Yuan family has been decided...
