After the first few months of raiding by the rebels, the city of Xianyang regained a brief period of peace, but everyone knew that it was only a superficial calm.

In fact, the Qin people have been oppressed by the tyrannical Qin for a long time, and they were still looking forward to the arrival of the righteous army. But who would have thought that King Xiang would be even more brutal than Yu II, not only slaughtering the Great Qin clan and plundering the people of Qin, but also burning the Xianyang Palace, so that the fire continued for three months......

"The Qin people are disappointed!"

Sima Qian only used five words in the historical records, which is enough to portray the mood of the people in Qindi.

Most of the people in Xianyang City are the families of Great Qin, and in this catastrophe, I don't know how many people fell in a pool of blood. Although the slaughter of the rebels has stopped for a while, thieves and bandits are everywhere, and news of people they know being killed every day comes in.

The blood stains shed by civilians killed by the rebels on the streets have not yet been washed away, and they are dark red in the sun's rays, and the hungry wild dogs stretch out their tongues and lick them, and the older generation hides in their houses, and can only sigh "In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs......

"When-when-"

At noon, there was a sudden sound of gongs in Xianyang City, and everyone's attention was attracted to it, whether it was the idlers wandering the streets or the people who were timidly hiding in their houses.

I saw a few soldiers wearing the iron armor of the Qin army while beating the gong, walking through the streets and alleys, and their mouths shouted from time to time: "King Yong issued a temporary decree at the east gate to protect the people and revitalize Xianyang!" ”

Listening to the shouts of the soldiers, the crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded, what the hell did Zhang Han want to do this time? They don't believe that the "Qin traitor" can do anything good.

It turned out that Qin Lu was not allowed to taste even words, and it was not allowed for more than three people to drink together. But by the time the second emperor succeeded to the throne and Li Si fell, these rules were no longer as strict as they were in the time of the first emperor. Now that the rebels from all over the country are stationed in Guanzhong, all kinds of means of defending the people's mouths have been completely declared bankrupt, and on another level, Xiang Yu has liberated the people's democracy.

Although they don't have much hope for Zhang Han's move, the people still have a faint expectation in their hearts. For no other reason, people are really fed up with the current chaotic society, and if there is a decree to protect them and restore the previously stable social order, this is what they have never dreamed of.

It is precisely for this reason that although the vast majority of people disdain Zhang Han's character, more than half of them still ran to the east gate, and they don't know what their psychology is. Perhaps this is the only fantasy left in their minds, even though it seems so unrealistic now......

In less than a quarter of an hour, the east gate was already surrounded by people watching the excitement on three floors and three layers outside. In addition to the sound of discussion one after another, bursts of laughter came from time to time in the crowd, thinking that someone had said something to joke, and the hero of the joke, Zhang Han naturally couldn't get rid of it.

In the center of the crowd, dozens of sergeants surrounded Zhang Han at the core. Zhang Han looked at the scene of laughter helplessly across the human wall, he could only comfort himself - let them laugh, one day they will all respectfully serve themselves as kings......

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Zhang Han raised his chin, and Shi Cheng on the side immediately understood, stood on the high platform that had just been piled up, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and began to recite aloud.

"The first emperor is tyrannical, the second is mediocre, and the world has been suffering for a long time! Now the rebels from all over the world, the Xianyang palace was destroyed, the thieves and bandits took the opportunity to rob, the people were forced to be displaced, and the life was not as difficult as the beggars!

King Yong was originally a son of Qindi, but now seeing that the people are not living well, he is worried day and night and cannot sleep peacefully, so he specially formulated seven interim decrees to maintain social stability. The decree reads as follows:

One. Those who maliciously hurt people and kill people will be killed!

……

Seven. Those who do not respect the law and do not respect the king will be decided!

These seven decrees will be implemented from now on, and I hope that the fathers and villagers will tell each other! ”

When Shi Cheng first started reading it, there were still many people whispering below, but when he read these decrees one by one, the crowd of onlookers became silent.

"Wow-"

Everyone was paying full attention to the content of these seven decrees, and as soon as he finished reading them, the crowd immediately erupted in an unprecedented amount of chatter.

"Is this true? With these decrees, we don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

"That's it, that's it, it's about to start spring, and I'm still worried about what to do with those few acres of land, but I didn't expect that the law stipulates that farming cannot be abandoned, yes, now the old man will rest assured to farm."

"Don't be too happy, I'm afraid this is just King Yong's delaying tactic, he is talking nicely now, who knows how to harm us when the time comes."

“……”

For a while, there was an overwhelming discussion in the crowd, and there was everything, but in general, the people still had great doubts about King Yong's sincerity.

Zhang Han had been prepared for this result, he waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, bring the prisoner out!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a column suddenly walked out behind Zhang Han, which was full of prisoners in prison uniforms and heavily armed sergeants. Behind each prisoner were two soldiers, who twisted the arms of the prisoners in front of them and escorted them into the field.

"Ah, this is the bandit who stabbed the old king of the South Gate to death in the street the day before yesterday!"

"Isn't this kid in the middle a habitual thief on the Wei River?"

"Phew, Zhongnan Mountain is obscene!"

The sharp-eyed crowd had already recognized the identity of the prisoner, and everyone tied up here was either a thief in the vertical and horizontal pass, or a bandit who wandered the mountains and forests, and an old Taoist priest who specialized in raping Huanghua girls.

Seeing these vicious and vicious villains, there was a gasp in the middle of the crowd, and the people in the front row involuntarily took a few steps back.

Zhang Han walked up to the high platform, pointed to the prisoners kneeling in a row, and said aloud: "I believe everyone knows the origin of these people and the sins they have created. They are not human beings, and it is not a pity to call them beasts, and the new decree issued by this king today begins with them! ”

After Zhang Han finished speaking, the soldiers behind him beat the hunting war drums, and the high-spirited momentum stirred everyone. Several big men with big shoulders and round waists and round upper bodies came out of the crowd, and they were carrying ghost knives behind their backs, and they knew at a glance that they were the executioners.

At this moment, no matter how dull a person is, he knows what Zhang Han is going to do, unlike Wei Yinggong, who won the trust of the people by standing a wood bounty on the day of the law change, Zhang Han is going to kill people and establish power on the day of the decree today.

This is also because of the different reasons, at the time of the Shang Dynasty's reform, the Qin State was socially stable, so Shang Yang only needed to give kindness to gain the trust of the people. But now that society is in turmoil and morality is collapsing, only a large-scale killing can bring the people to their hearts.

Looking at the trembling prisoners kneeling on the ground, the onlookers could not help but applaud, they really hated these thieves to the core, and they longed to eat their flesh and sip their blood.

"Kill them!" "Kill these brutes!"

The crowd erupted in shouts, everyone clenched their fists, their eyes filled with anger. If it weren't for the bullets of the sergeants around, I'm afraid that the angry people would have rushed in and taken matters into their own hands.

Zhang Han looked at the reaction of the people present with satisfaction, he finally did a practical thing for the people, and his status in the eyes of the people must have improved.

Seeing that the people's anger had reached its highest point, Zhang Han nodded to Zhang Ping behind him, and said softly: "Prepare for execution!" ”

Zhang Ping immediately came to the front of the prisoner and ordered loudly: "Prepare for execution!" ”

The five big and three thick executioners came behind the prisoner and raised the ghost head knife in his hand.

"Lord Yongwang spares his life, the little one is confused for a while, and he doesn't dare anymore!"

"King Mingjian, the villain was really forced to rob, and the house hasn't been boiled for three days......"

“……”

Truly feeling the approach of death, except for a few outlaws, many prisoners began to beg for mercy, and they wept bitterly one by one, as if they had a sincere determination to repent.

At this critical moment, whether it was the onlookers or the soldiers who were executing, everyone's eyes moved to Zhang Han, and only he could decide the fate of these people.

Zhang Han's face was solemn, he slowly looked around, and said word by word: "Kill-no-forgive!" ”

"......" "......"

The people present will never forget this scene, everything seems to be in slow motion, the ghost head knife is raised high, and then it is slashed hard, the sharp blade cuts through the skin, soaks into the flesh, cuts the cervical vertebrae, and a column of blood flies up between everyone's necks......

More than a dozen human heads rolled to the ground, and for a while, the east gate of the noisy Xianyang City was silent, and the whole city seemed to be dead, no one spoke, and no one could speak. There was silence for two or three seconds, followed by a tsunami-like cheer.

At this moment, no one doubted Zhang Han's new decree, they seemed to see a light in the dark reality, this traitor who was spurned by everyone, became the savior of the people of the whole city at this moment.
