Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the contradictions between the people and merchants in Dawang City have begun to accumulate since the snow began to fall.

To tell the truth, although Peishui is rich, it cannot support millions of people, and if it wants to maintain the lives of millions of people, it must also rely on the power of merchants. If all kinds of materials such as clothing, food, shelter and transportation are not allocated by merchants, it is impossible to solve them by Liuhuo's subordinates.

Sometimes merchants are cute, but sometimes merchants are hateful. Especially now, when the blizzard began to sweep through the Chu State, the merchant's face was completely changed in the eyes of the Peishui people.

Price increase, price increase, price increase. The price will increase when it snows, the price will increase when refugees come, and even the Chinese New Year is a reason for the price increase. The gossip of Peishui people is very good, and they all know that Peishui is now in an economic crisis, and there is no surplus food in the official warehouse, and there is not much money left.

This should have been the time for everyone to get through this together, you businessmen have made so much money thanks to the prosperous Pei Shui, and now you should give a little. It's a pity that Prime Minister Bai Cheng did door-to-door work, and only 3oo businesses agreed to open positions to stabilize prices.

This is enough for something, such a small amount of materials has no effect at all except for taking out a little bit every day to supply it in limited quantities, and it has no effect except to give the people a psychological comfort.

Although the people of Peishui have money, their patience is also limited, and before the Zhongzhou War, Lord Liuhuo borrowed tens of millions of tickets, almost draining the cash in the hands of the people. Originally, everyone's hands were tight, where could they afford such a price increase from merchants, the grain has doubled, the cloth has even tripled, and other daily necessities have also doubled. The worst thing is firewood, the price of which has risen four times compared to previous years.

This is no longer an ordinary small contradiction, this is simply not allowing the people to live.

The dry firewood everywhere is just one spark away, and Xiao Ningshun's tragic encounter has become the spark that ignites the dry firewood everywhere.

"Kill them, kill these profiteers..."

"Down with the profiteers, raid the house, raid the house to save the refugees..."

The entire Shuiyu Street was in chaos, and the shouts of thousands of people alarmed more people to rush here, and after a while, Kung Fu Shuiyu Street was already crowded with three or four thousand people.

At this time, the atmosphere was even more strange, the soldiers who were originally surrounding the mob suddenly appeared to be surrounded, and later the people rushed up and actually caught the soldiers in the phalanx.

The shouts were earth-shattering, which surprised Mei Jiaoniang and Yun Shayue behind Suzaku, they really didn't expect that the people of Dawang City were really bold, and they were not afraid of being soldiers at all.

It wasn't just them who were surprised, there were countless bosses behind the doors of countless shops. For the first time, these merchants, whose hearts were covered by lard, saw the power of the people, which was so violent that it was impossible to resist.

They knew that once the situation got out of control, these wooden doors would not be able to stop these crazy people. When the time comes, let alone keep the property, I'm afraid I will lose my life.

"O God of Light, please deliver us from our suffering, please..."

Countless stupid merchant wives knelt in front of the statue of the god of light and began to pray, completely forgetting that the god of light was a flowing fire, and their greed damaged the foundation of the flowing fire.

"My lord, the scene is about to get out of control, you better go back to the official residence, the people will definitely not be unfavorable to you..."I don't know when Zuo Panyu actually leaned into Suzaku's ear and whispered.

Suzaku's eyes stood up at that time, and she stared at Zuo Panyu and whispered, "You dare..."

Suzaku didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood the meaning, Zuo Panyu was going to borrow a knife to kill people, he wanted to borrow the hands of the people to suppress the greed of businessmen, and he was going to rob in disguise.

But Zuo Panyu's resolute gaze made Suzaku not know what to say, Zuo Panyu was the first awakened person to follow the flowing fire, although he didn't talk much on weekdays, but no one could shake his status as the first general of the military. Is this the meaning of the military as a whole that he can make such a choice today?

Suzaku really didn't guess wrong, in this month, the generals at all levels of the military have not been less than blowing the wind to Zuo Panyu, and the unanimous attitude of the military is to teach these businessmen a lesson, and they must kill this unhealthy trend.

Zuo Panyu didn't say anything, just gave Suzaku an acknowledging look, and this look already said everything.

Suzaku is now hesitant and entangled. She knew that every decision she made below would affect Peishui's future pattern, and this responsibility was too big for her to bear.

"Flowing fire, I really don't know how difficult it is to make a decision, how did you get over these ten years..."

But now that the situation is already in a hurry, there is no time for Suzaku to hesitate, and now there is no way except to trust his own senses.

Thinking of this, Suzaku suddenly turned over and got on his horse, and the fiery red red phosphorus horse was unusually tall, which made Suzaku's figure very eye-catching on the long street.

Suzaku didn't speak, she just raised her right hand, and a fiery red light reflected in the wind and snow, so conspicuous in the gloomy sky. After a while, a huge firebird with its wings spread out for a full 100 meters rose into the sky, drawing a bright trajectory in the air.

"Firebird, Suzaku-sama's firebird..."

"That's right, I remember, it was with this firebird that Lord Suzaku tore Li Feiyang's fire dragon to pieces..."

"Yes, that's right, the night of the Peishui tragedy..."

The bright firebird seemed to want to burn the sky, and the flying snowflakes instantly turned into steam, and at that moment the wind and snow of the entire Dawang City dissipated.

While this firebird was flying, the tsunami-like scolding just now gradually disappeared.

"People of Peishui, do you remember this firebird, it once attacked Li Feiyang's fire dragon in Dawang Town..."

"I have never forgotten the scene of that night, when I stood on the roof of the building and looked around, there were flames everywhere I looked, and there were miserable cries everywhere I looked. Of course, there are also warriors shouting for war everywhere..."

"And the back of the invaders fleeing..."

The people didn't know why the housewife brought up the incident of ten years ago, but the effect was very good, and all the people present were immersed in the sad memories of that tragedy.

"You may be curious to know why I am talking about the past. Now I can tell you that back then, when Lord Drifting Fire returned to Peishui from the front line, someone once offered him advice..."

"What kind of strategy is it?" At this time, Suzaku suddenly said in a very sad tone, "Some people say that the sneak attacker is the Li family's eight hundred fire cultivators, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory, it is better to give up those people, you take the black iron soldiers to the swamp, where you will be safe, as for those people..."

"As for the people, let them be the victims of our victory..."

Suzaku suddenly mentioned such a secret thing and left thousands of people dumbfounded, they really didn't expect that there would be such an episode ten years ago.

"And what happened later?" suddenly came a weak female voice from the crowd, it seemed that she had not experienced what happened back then.

At this time, Suzaku suddenly became proud, and she used her vitality to drum up her voice, letting the sound float to every corner of the city.

"Of course Lord Flowing Fire refused, and it was with that refusal that there was that reversal battle in the early morning..."

"Flowing Fire once told me that he had an ideal, in which everyone could live in peace and prosperity, that the hardworking could get rich, that the wealthy could guard their property, that no one was a slave, and that no one's life could be taken away at will..."

"Now you see that the ideals of the Flowing Fire have been presented to you. Peishui, a land of miracles, this is the land where the fire realizes its dreams..."

At this time, Suzaku's tone suddenly changed, and he said in a deep tone, "But no ideal can sacrifice the interests of innocent people, especially the supreme interest of life. If Liuhuo had chosen to sacrifice you ten years ago, would you still love him so much?"

"A beautiful ideal needs to be sacrificed, but it does not need to be sacrificed. If you feel that your ideal is the best in the world, please dedicate yourself to the road to realizing your ideal first, even if it costs your life..."

"No one has the right to make decisions for the benefit of another's life..."

Suzaku's words smashed into everyone's hearts like a big hammer, and many people may not fully understand it, but this does not prevent them from experiencing the compassionate heart of Flowing Fire.

Suzaku was silent for a while, and then said, "Back then, Liuhuo didn't choose to sacrifice innocents to survive the crisis, so today, when our Peishui is in trouble again, do we still want to treat the merchants of the whole city as victims to survive the crisis?"

"If we had made this example today, then I could foresee that when Peishui encountered another crisis, we would still think of throwing another batch of sacrifices. Some things don't stop once they start..."

Suzaku looked at the people and soldiers who wanted to stop talking, and said sadly, "I know what you have to say, and I also know how greedy these merchants are. But have you thought about it, the merchants are ruthless but they are not breaking the law, you can spit on them, but this is not a reason for you to rob them..."

"If we had stormed their homes today, opened their warehouses and confiscated all their property, we would have survived today's crisis. But have you ever thought that if you can rob these merchants today, then one day someone will burst into your house and loot you under the banner of great justice..."

"And at that time, you were no longer in any position to resist, because you had done all that..."

It's cold, Dawangcheng is completely cold, Suzaku is using the power of vitality to stir up the sound, and the entire Dawangcheng, including the military camp outside the city, can hear it clearly. People really haven't thought about this question, and they have never heard such a truth, and everyone has lost their voices under the agitation of their hearts.

The people of Peishui are the most educated in the entire Zhongzhou, and of course they can understand what Lord Suzaku said. Especially the old Peishui people who experienced the night of blood and fire ten years ago, they couldn't cry at this time.

"We were wrong, we were really wrong, the adults didn't sacrifice us back then, and we are not qualified to sacrifice others..."

"Yes, no matter how bastard the merchant is, those properties are also owned by others, if we really rob them, won't we become bandits?"

"But I can't figure it out, isn't this group of merchants digging up the roots of Peishui by doing this?

Countless people are torturing their consciences, including those merchants hiding behind the door panels, at this time they have been moved to tears, they know that their lives and property are finally safe, all thanks to the flowing fire and the Suzaku.

At this time, the firebird in the sky was even brighter, and when the firebird was about to run out of vitality and was about to turn into a bright firework, a small figure suddenly appeared on the castle tower in the east.

Figures jumped on the rooftops, shouts throughout the city.

"The grain team... The food team is back, and the life-saving food is back..."
