Chapter 393 – Small fears

Wang Yanshan’s words moved An Zheng a little.

That’s right, the world is big, whether it is the State of Yan or other nations, even if it is the Da Xi Empire, does it mean that there are more people like him, or is it just that there are more people like Wang Yanshan?

Wang Yanshan pointed at the commoners who were watching from afar: “You are working for them? Do you think they deserve pity? A bunch of unworthy people. Their existence should be at the bottom. Their bones are full of servility. If you don’t whip them, their backs will itch. You’re giving people like that freedom? Stop fooling around, freedom? Just by showing them some respect, they can overturn the heavens! ”

He looked at An Zheng: “I know I can’t beat you, you are a strong warrior, a true strong warrior. I know that resistance doesn’t mean anything to me. I’m not an idiot like Lu Ming. I will definitely die, but before I die, I have a few words to say. ”

He seemed to be a little tired and sat down on the ground. It seemed as if he no longer cared about his clean and dignified brocade clothes.

“Prince Fu, do you think that you can rule the world? In this world, most of the people were fools. The more lax you were, the more they would think you were easy to bully. People are like this … Bad officials, those people were bullied, but submissive. However, a so-called good official was bullied by an official. You are so high up that you don’t know how to deal with these fools. ”

An Zheng shook his head.

Wang Yanshan said: “Forget it, there’s no need for me to tell you these things. I’ve been in Wyan County all these years, and if you look at it from an official’s point of view, I’m doing pretty well. After all these years, I have never been short of taxes on the government’s money and grain. Why did the Ministry of Revenue give meward? It’s because in the entire great swallow, there aren’t many local officials like me who have not even a little bit of loss every year! “Since you are also a government official, then why don’t you think about it carefully. Should you act from the perspective of a government official, or from the perspective of those fools?”

Du Shoushou scolded: “That’s twisted logic! This father will cripple you now! ”

Wang Yanshan: “Of course you can kill me. If you kill me, you can also find someone to replace me, but I can put it this way, no one is better than me.”

An Zheng: “Speak your last words, I don’t want to explain these things to you, I can only explain them to people who can understand.”

Wang Yanshan threw the short blade in his hand to the side, and said with a calm tone: “Actually, I always felt that this world was unfair, so of course what I did was also unfair. If I don’t die, I think I can become a qualified prime minister in the future. As a cultivator, I will never be able to reach such an amazing stage in my life, but when it comes to power, I know how to use it better than most. ”

He pointed at An Zheng: “The unfair kind, is what you do. You are young and your talent is good, so you became an expert at such a young age. Your life is still alright, you’re already above everyone else at such a young age, and yet you’re already at suceight when you’re not even twenty. How can other people still live? ”

An Zheng laughed: “You are right, I want to become more and more successful. The more successful I am, the more people like you will die.”

Wang Yanshan: “Can we negotiate a condition? Leave my family and I’ll die. ”

An Zheng asked: “Then are you willing to tell me this as a cultivator or as an official?”

Wang Yanshan laughed bitterly: “Official? “Then I’ll be executed by the entire family.”

He fell to his knees, kowtowing. “A cultivator!”

An Zheng nodded his head, “Okay, for cultivators in the martial arts world, misfortune will not befall your family. You can die now.”

Wang Yanshan picked up the dagger and stabbed it into his heart without hesitation. He fell forward, his head against the ground. The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They wanted to resist, but knew that there was no point. Want to run? Can you?

An Zheng looked at those soldiers and shook his head: “I respect every single one of them, but you guys are not soldiers, so I won’t even give you the right to commit suicide.”

He waved his hand, and the Nine Hell Magic Bell made a sound.

Everyone fainted, but they did not die.

An Zheng looked at County Governor Song’s Sea of Song. He waitiful person, but An Zheng did not pity him at all. He probably hadn’t done anything evil, but he compromised. Compromise not only when the people are being bullied, but also when he is being bullied himself.

An Zheng looked at him and sneered: “You are a speculator.”

Song Haohai’s complexion changed. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

An Zheng said with an ice-cold tone: “Don’t think that just because you acted so righteously just now, I already felt that you were a qualified official, and your righteousness was just for me to see. “You deliberately make yourself look like a wronged but persistent good person, bah.”

An Zheng sputtered: “You’riece of trash … What did you exchange it for being bullied and not resisting? Because he thinks that you are easily bullied and that you are not a threat, Wang Yanshan decided to keep you as his official. If you really have the courage, even if you don’t resist, you will bring your family away. “But you didn’t. Letting your family suffer alongside you is just enough to satisfy your greed for the position of an official.”

Song Zhenhai trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.

An Zheng said: “You are a good actor, your acting skills are really not bad. You should have felt your chance had come the moment you saw me, right? Unfortunately, I wasn’t moved by you, even though you were wearing a patched up official uniform. ”

“But.”

An Zheng looked at Song Guihai and said, “I have no choice but to use you, because there is no one else we can use. From today onwards, you will be the magistrate of Huian County. You will be my first official, so I will keep my eyes on you in the future. Don’t you know how to act? “Then keep doing it.”

He pointed at the soldiers who had fallen on the ground and said, “Gather the civilians and tie them up. Then, you will behead them one by one at the city gate. It was just a few hundred people, they wouldn’t be able to kill for long. You will fight over who is going to kill them, one by one. In Wuan City, whoever gets bullied the most, get someone to cut off their head. A garrison of about five hundred people, and more than two hundred rascals. Just find seven hundred people to chop off their heads, one by one. ”

He walked up to Song Zhi and squatted down to look at him, enunciating each word clearly. “Do you know why I made such arrangements?”

Song Zhihai quickly lowered his head: “Your subordinate doesn’t know.”

“Because I want you to be afraid... Those who were bullied had blood on their hands. After killing someone, they would know how to retaliate. Once you and Wang Yanshan walk the same path, they will involuntarily think about why we, who can kill Wang Yanshan’s people, can’t kill you, the Sea of Song! ”

These words were likeavy hammer that smashed into Song Haohai’s mind, causing him to buzz.

An Zheng stood up, “According to the population distribution, we should at least be able to eat enough food until next year. All the good land was given to the people, and half of it was given to the court every year, and half to eat for themselves. “You can leave a small portion of your local magistrate court.”

After An Zheng finished speaking, he patted Song Zhi Hai’s head: “I don’t like killing people, but I’m used to killing people, so I definitely don’t want you to know that you did something wrong.”

Song Zhenhai’s body trembled violently. His face was terrifyingly pale. He could not utter a single word. At this moment, he finally understood what a demon was.

An Zheng stood up: “Go and act, I know you can act well as a good official who has been bullied for so many years. Those people will be moved by you, and they will all support you as the county magistrate. ”

When An Zheng walked back, he asked: “Is that all? I really want to hold my breath and not come out. ”

An Zheng slowly shook his head: “There’s no other way. “It’s just a small town, it’s already enough to cut down 700 heads.”

Du Shoushou asked: “An Zheng, do corrupt officials have a way to punish them?”

An Zheng shook his head.

“Then you …”

“I am controlling, not treating. It was controlled by violence, but no one could cure that, because it was human nature. I remember who said it? No one should boast. When one has truly become an official, how many people can control their desires? We can control it by force, but if we want to cure it, we have to change our minds because I’m a god. ”

Du Shoushou sighed: “I suddenly feel that I am awesome, all these years I have never coveted your money …”

An Zheng rolled his eyes at him. “You don’t have to be greedy! It’s all yours! ”

Du Shoushou laughed: “Because we’ve been delayed for so long, let’s hurry on our way. I don’t want to see people killing people anymore. There are evil things like this everywhere. “When the peace comes to an end and we no longer have to fight, we won’t be able to kill them all every day.”

An Zheng: “If we can’t kill them all, we can just make them afraid.”

Du Shoushou: “You said it before, the greed in human nature is stronger than being afraid of death. Some people are still greedy even though they know that they will die. ”

An Zheng: “Then let them die.”

The two of them let the carriage turn around and continued on their journey towards the north. Song Zhihai’s impassioned speech came from behind him. More and more commoners gathered around him. Du Shoushou turned his head to take a look, then spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Inside the carriage, Gu Qianye suddenly asked: “An Zheng, can order really be maintained? Every single country has an order, but there’s no order, right? ”

An Zheng shook his head: “I exist, but I can’t stand steadily.”

Gu Qianye acknowledged and did not speak further. This question was not something that she could think about clearly. Her world was very simple.

Du Shoushou asked: “I suddenly thought of a word … Or a nickname. If you kill like this, those corrupt officials and bad people would do evil deeds. They would be afraid that you would go down to your bones. So you are their demon, and I will lock you up as a little coward, okay? ”

An Zheng: “Damn...”

Du Shoushou: “Is therroblem?”

“I’m their demon, so I’m f * cking a little scared?”

“It’s not magnanimous enough, right …” Let me think. That’s called great fear? ”

“Scram!”
