Chapter 1262: A Mere Bandit

Zhao Cheng said slowly.

No matter which era, there is no shortage of similar people. The so-called reputation of these people is not because they have really made contributions to the people, but just because of the people in their own circle.

In this world, ordinary people are one circle, and scholars are another circle.

The so-called reputation does not refer to the name in the mouths of the people, but the name in the literati.

The two sages of Wucheng are famous among scholars and have many students.

Throughout the ages, few heroes dare to kill such people, because the world always needs people to govern, and it will be very troublesome to offend scholars.

But Zhao Cheng is not afraid. The route he takes is not based on the clans of the world, nor on these scholars, but on the mud legs, the lowest level, and the most miserable people.

These people are the foundation of his earthly country.

The failure of Huang Tiandao has proved the unreliability of the clan and the unreliability of scholars. These people are high above and have too many choices, so they are all fence-sitters.

Therefore, the first thing Zhao Cheng did after taking the city was to spread his reputation in Wucheng. Those clan tyrants thought he was talking to them, but in fact, he was talking to the grass and grass that the clan tyrants did not think highly of.

This is the foundation of Zhao Cheng's determination.

It is also Zhao Cheng's confidence that if everyone in the world rebels, then he will kill everyone in the world, and the world will still be the same world.

The world today is just the world of the aristocratic families, so kill them all and kill them all.

At the beginning of civilization, there were no aristocratic families? !

But at that time, everything was still competing and humanity was still going on.

Zhao Cheng had been patient before and allowed these people who had "reputation" as amulets to be arrogant, but it was just that the foundation was not established at that time and they were temporarily dormant.

It's just ridiculous that some people can't see the situation clearly and still think that this world is still the same as before.

"Han Qing!"

Zhao Cheng's expression suddenly became stern.

"The commander is here!"

Hearing this, Han Qing did not dare to neglect it at all, and immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Pass on my military order, there are thieves in the city, colluding with foreign enemies, and the crime is unforgivable. Order the whole army to kill his three clans!"

While speaking, a piece of silk book had already landed in front of Han Qing. On it was a list of the wealthy families in the city. Now, nearly 70% of them were circled in red.

Looking at this number, Han Qing felt cold in his heart. Each of those wealthy families had a large population. If all of them were killed, how many people would die.

But during this period, he followed Zhao Cheng and was trained by Zhao Cheng. He was influenced by them day by day, and he also understood the harm of these people.

Now that Wucheng has just been taken, and Wu Qi is not dead yet, if the two armies fight in the future, these people will really open the city gate privately.

As for now, there is naturally no collusion with foreign enemies, but this is nothing. Letters of collusion can be written on the spot, as many as needed.

The reason why these people had to die was very simple, that is, they might have collaborated with the enemy, and if their loyalty was not absolute, then they were absolutely disloyal.

Although Han Qing only glanced at the names that were not circled, he had some impressions. The owners of these names were all outsiders, not locals of Wucheng, and they did not have deep roots in the local area, so they were spared.

…

Wucheng, the night was not yet deep.

In several tall buildings in the city, there was endless singing and dancing.

The changing flags on the top of the city did not affect the rich and powerful children in the city, who were having fun.

"What General Yingtian? He is just a bandit who got a bit of luck and thought about ruling the world. Now that there is only one city, he wants to invite me to serve as an official. That is really a disgrace to himself."

"I tell you, that day, the people sent by the bandit were driven out by the old man in disgrace. After that, the bandit dared not even fart."

"Even so, he is still a general. When General Pingnan returns, I am afraid that will be the death of the bandit."

In Zuihualou in the south of the city, beautiful girls are singing and dancing, and several playboys are hugging beauties. One of them seems to be a little drunk and sneers.

If they are elites in the big families, they will naturally know that disaster comes from the mouth and they should be careful in what they say and do. However, these people who drink wine are also children of big families and are legitimate children, but they are all useless people in the family.

It is precisely because they are useless that they can get together.

When the Yingtian Army first broke into the city, these people naturally did not dare to say such remarks, even if they were drunk, they would not dare to do so.

But now, a month has passed, and the Yingtian Army has shown too little aggression. Not to mention the big families like them, even the common people are not offended at all.

Not only that, even when recruiting soldiers, they did not force the men to join the army, but instead distributed the silver to the poor. In the eyes of these prodigal sons, this is simply a crime, and they do not see the situation clearly.

After all, what's the use of pleasing the common people? !

Things like grass are usually exploited in various ways, and they have not seen anything.

It is better to please these nobles, who are the people in this world who have power and voice.

However, later on, they figured it out. They are just unlearned, not stupid. With family education, no matter how stupid they are, they are limited. They understand that it is probably the big families and powerful people who look down on Zhao Cheng, the thief, so the other party thinks of pleasing the common people and tries to get their support in this way.

I want to harvest the so-called hidden pearls from the public.

"That's true. Some time ago, that group of bandits wanted my cousin to serve as an official, but my cousin was well-known for his studies. Even when General Pingnan was there, my cousin declined the offer because he was not talented and needed to continue studying. The Zhao bandits, a group of bandits, wanted to be my Chu family's Qilin. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself..."

Another young man took over the conversation, and he was even more drunken.

In this era, talents have their own pride. As for forcing, it is undoubtedly touching some unspoken rules. If it is spread out, the reputation will be directly ruined, and no one will dare to serve in the future.

Therefore, no one thinks that there is a problem with such a refusal.

After all, everyone plays like this. If you don't play by the rules, you won't play.

It is said that scholars are noble and should not be insulted lightly. This is it.

On the high building, a few playboys talked loudly, and their words were heard by those beautiful girls, but these prostitutes didn't care.

The vicissitudes of the world and the wind of war are unlikely to blow into their gentle land. The worst case scenario is that a big boss will be replaced. No matter who becomes the boss, their lives will not change much.

What does the destruction of the country have to do with these floating duckweed? !

And according to reason, this group of playboys will probably drink until midnight, until they are drunk to death, and then sleep until the next day.

But this night, in the middle of the night, these people were awakened.

In the middle of the night, the city first heard the sound of neat running and the sound of armor rubbing, and then the collision of swords and guns, fighting, shouting, and wailing...
