"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!!"

Under the city tower, the shouts of killing were loud.

Countless fires sparked on the outskirts of the eastern city of Yanshi City, and the roars of the mountains and tsunamis rose one after another.

The tall castle tower was brightly lit, and countless armored soldiers stood on it.

Li Yan wore a black headband on his head and held a Yanling knife in his hand, standing on a temporary high platform in the center of the city tower.

Shuofeng hunted, bringing up countless black banners above the city tower.

The fire was blazing, illuminating the entire eastern city as if it were daylight.

In the center of the high platform, a down-and-out middle-aged man with a cloak and a dusty coat was pressed to his knees.

The middle-aged man, with a haggard face, his face covered with dust and blood, his hair scattered, and his face hideous, like a demon crawling out of hell.

His filthy garment was red, and most of the patterns and coats of arms on it were obscured by blood and dust, but a pair of floating emu [xichi] could be faintly discerned embroidered on the front of his robe.

In the Ming Dynasty, the robes of civil and military officials were customized from color to pattern, which could not be surpassed.

The emu is a robe that can only be worn by civil officials of the seventh grade.

The middle-aged man who knelt on the high platform was none other than Xu Ritai, the magistrate of Yanshi County.

"Anti-thief!"

"You will cause trouble in the world, and you will trouble the whole world, and you will poison the people, and you will not die a good death!"

Xu Ritai was covered in blood, sleepless for a long time, and the long-term torment had already made him tired and painful.

He couldn't stand up, his hands and feet were already tied, and two armor soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, pressed him to his knees with their hands like iron pincers.

But even so, Xu Ritai still held his head high, straightened his back, glared angrily at the armor soldiers around him, and scolded endlessly.

After the city was broken, he still led the county officials and the remaining soldiers to make the last resistance.

But such resistance is undoubtedly futile.

With the help of strong walls, they could not hold the city.

After the city walls were breached, how could they rely on the streets and alleys to complete the Jedi turnaround.

All around, there were countless bright blades and countless armor soldiers glaring angrily.

"Only hateful and powerless to kill thieves!"

All this did not make Xu Ritai's heart feel half a point of fear, all he had in his heart was resentment for his weakness.

"Kill !!"

Inside and outside the city, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the sky was boiling.

Xu Ritai's words angered countless people in the city and under the city, and the shouts of killing suddenly overwhelmed like a tsunami.

Li Yan held the Yanling knife in his hand, his eyes were terrifying, and his face was cold.

After several years of life and death, Li Yan's heart has already been as hard as iron.

Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and the eyes were not instantaneous.

The shouts of killing were like magic sounds, penetrating into Li Yan's ears, but they made Li Yan's mood calmer and calmer.

"Troublesome the world, disturb the four directions, and poison the people...... Is...... Ridiculous ......"

What Xu Ritai said made Li Yan feel ridiculous.

"If you can have a bite to eat, if you can live a way."

"In this world, how can anyone rebel?!"

Li Yan clenched the Yanling knife in his hand, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"You dignitaries and dignitaries are high in the sky, high above the temple and county government, with your heads held high, clothed and fed, drunk with money, have you ever lowered your heads and seen the people who are working in the fields?"

"There is a great drought in the world, there is no harvest, but the taxes are getting heavier, the officials and officials are supervising the levies, the people are displaced, fleeing and begging, but they are turning a blind eye."

Li Yan was disheartened, he only felt ridiculous, he only felt pathetic.

The imperial court does not

No people were sent to provide relief, but the relief areas were very few, the assistance brought was very small, the taxes and food were not cut by half, and even taxes and taxes were increased in some places.

The famine faced, but the government still ordered the people to pay taxes and grain as usual.

People have fled, the land has been deserted, and the existing households are still ordered to pay their debts.

Those who fled could not be recovered for the time being, and their taxes were not not required to be paid, but by the people who still remained.

Accountability is cool, but as a result, those who could have survived have no way to survive, and many people have simply abandoned the fields and water that can be cultivated, and have fled the countryside.

Those who have a division have both the request of the shepherd, and the life of the strict urging department, the skin and bones have been exhausted, and the death is not supported, and the last resort is to steal!

As a result, hundreds of people were displaced, starving and cold, and the ridiculous imperial government still did not know what was wrong.

"The northern slaves and the southern Kou, the wars are endless, the natural disasters are continuous, and the imperial court is already doing its best to provide disaster relief."

Xu Ritai looked angry and scolded angrily.

"The rebellion in Henan has stopped, and the imperial court relief has been transported, so you are waiting to raise the army again and cause chaos in the world!"

Li Yan was cold in his heart, looking at Xu Ritai, who was still insulting when he was pressed to his knees.

The situation of Yanshi County is much better than that of other states and counties, and Xu Ritai can be called a good official.

He led the people to dig deep wells, find water, expel locusts, and open warehouses for disaster relief, thus preserving many people.

Li Yan actually wanted to persuade Xu Ritai.

But now Li Yan knows very well that it is impossible for him to persuade Xu Ritai.

There is a huge gap in their cognition, and they look at things from two completely different directions, and they are destined to see the truth in completely different ways.

The shouts of killing rose again, and wave after wave swept towards the top of the city tower.

Li Yan's eyes were sharp, his expression was solemn, his feet were forward and backward, and he made horse steps.

With a shout, the Yanling knife in Li Yan's hand slashed down suddenly, responding to the shouts of countless people around.

The disgusting smell of blood filled the entire castle tower in an instant.

On the high platform, the Yanshi Zhixian who knelt on the ground, his body collapsed weakly, and the dripping blood was constantly gushing out from the broken neck.

And the head rolled all the way forward like a kicked ball, falling from the high platform, and fell directly under the eastern city.

In the face of such a bloody and cruel picture, no one in the city or under the city showed half a look of fear on their faces.

Li Yan stood on the high platform, dark red blood flowing under his feet, and the smell of blood lingered in his nostrils.

From Qixian to Dengfeng, and then from Dengfeng to Yanshi.

The road he had traveled in the past few months had been longer and more difficult than the one he had ever walked in his previous life.

On the high platform, in the suburbs of Yanshi Dongcheng, countless torches stood on it, connected into a piece, like the sea of stars in the sky falling into the mortal world.

Li Yan held the Yanling knife in his hand, and he was no longer the weak scholar who had not even killed a chicken or duck.

In the past few months, he has also personally fought the enemy, and many people have died at his hands.

Li Yan slowly tilted his head and looked at the red lady standing beside him.

The red lady was dressed in a red robe, and as before, she was still standing by his side all the time.

Li Yan's originally empty heart suddenly had some more weight.

Under the city, it was silent at this time.

The original shouts of killing that wanted to pierce through the clouds and crack stones also subsided with the landing of the head of Yanshi Zhixian.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the high platform, on the bright blade of the Yanling knife in Li Yan's hand.

Li Yan slowly clenched the Yanling knife in his hand and looked down at the people in the city who were looking at him.

At this time, an inexplicable emotion also slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"There is a great drought in the world,

A plague of locusts!"

Li Yan slowly raised the Yanling knife in his hand and looked down at the people under the city.

Li Yan's opening broke the silence of the night and shattered the dark pool.

Above and below the city, a group of soldiers in charge of heralding orders repeated what Li Yan said loudly, so that what Li Yan said could be transmitted in all directions.

"There is fat meat, there are fat horses in the stables, the people are hungry, and the wild are hungry."

Looking down at the people with different expressions, I felt the cold wind blowing by.

Li Yan slowly closed his eyes, and the memories of the past flew by in front of his eyes like a marquee.

His voice was hoarse and pathetic, and under the words of the soldiers of Siye, it reached everyone's ears one by one.

"The court has no way, the Son of Heaven is mediocre, disasters are frequent, there is no harvest, and taxes are heavy."

"We wait for the small people's families to be ruined, our wives are separated, we have no food to eat all day long, our lives are precarious, and no one has mercy......

Li Yan hoarsely voiced, the pain of the destruction of his family made him sleepless all night.

He scattered all his family wealth for the country and the people, but in exchange for the persecution of the court, the hostility of the gentry, and the trap of the government.

The guards spread Li Yan's words around.

Except for the sound of the word, the city was still as quiet as death.

Li Yan's words fell under the city, as if he had fallen into the abyss, and he didn't get any response.

"The eunuchs are high, arrogant, greedy, and happy, and regard us as pigs and dogs!"

Those officials who are vegetarian on the corpse, those gentry who are full of poetry and books, and those adults who are full of benevolence and morality, there is only indifference in their eyes.

Those people have never regarded the people at the bottom as one kind......

Obviously they are the same people, and they are all the same people......

"I'll ...... Wait"

"It's just to find a way to live......

Li Yan slowly opened his eyes, and the cold wind was coming, like a steel knife scraping bones.

In his eyes, there was sadness deep in the bone marrow.

Being alive is the easiest thing to do, but it's also the hardest.

The flames shook under the blowing of the wind, and many torches were extinguished by the strong winds.

The sea of fire in the east of Yanshi City began to dim because of the strong winds blowing from the north.

The whistling wind was like a beast in the flood era, wantonly rushing in the four fields, they

It's already so difficult for them to just want to live, but those gentry and heroes can be powerful and high.

Those gentry and nobles, they have already lived a life of fine clothes and food, luxury and erosion, but they are not even willing to give them a chance to live.

To be alive is only their most humble requirement.

However, there are people who don't want them to live.

They would rather have the grain and meat rot in the storehouse and in the trough than give them even a little bit of it.

All they want is a way to live.

But why, those adults are not willing to give them a way to live!

Why?

The people in the city were still silent, and the oppression was terrible.

Only the roar of the wind resounded in the four fields.

In their hearts, they also have the same problem as Li Yan.

Why?

Why!

They just want to live, why can't even this humble wish be fulfilled?

The light of the fire danced in everyone's eyes, and the raging anger burned in their hearts.

The torrent of the times carries the fate of individuals.

The fate of being held hostage by the times can only rise and fall with the times.

They are all just sand and gravel carried by the torrent of the times.

They are small......

They are weak......

But when they converge, it is enough to make the sea and rivers divert and the rivers flow backwards!

There is no fear in their hearts, no fear, and no patience!

In their hearts is endless anger, endless hatred, and endless killing intent!

They are furious!

Why, they work hard all day long, but even eat a full meal and put on a warm coat, it is a luxury.

And those sons and grandsons, who are free all day long, have big money and feet, but they can be drunk with gold and food.

They resent.

Why, they work hard, work all day long, be careful all their lives, save money, try their best, and work hard, but even living is just a luxury.

And those gentry and strong people intensified their efforts in the disaster year, trying their best to embezzle land and property, and buy slaves and maids.

Why?

Why!

Why?

Why!

Why!!

On the high platform, Li Yan's eyes were cold, and his heart was like iron stone.

The city was still silent, but he could feel the change in the psychology and momentum of the people in the city.

That kind of mysterious and mysterious feeling is indescribable.

The raging anger burned in Li Yan's heart, burning his chest and stirring the blood in his heart.

"Since ancient times, the emperor has risen and fallen, and the people have been in their hearts!"

The dazzling light of fire shone on Li Yan's resolute face, constantly jumping and flying in his eyes.

Li Yan's voice spread word by word to all directions under the silent night sky, accompanied by the cold wind.

Under the tower, among them, in addition to the soldiers of the Ten Thousand People's Army, there were also displaced people who had fled due to disasters, ordinary people who were forced to pay taxes and had no way out, as well as tenants who had lost their land and were displaced, and deserters who could not bear the exploitation and slavery.

All the while, they have lived at the bottom of society, at the bottom of society.

They have been tortured and bullied, and they have endured hardships and suffering.

All the while, their backs were hunched, their heads bowed, and they looked like walking dead.

But nowadays, all of them have their heads held high.

looked up at Li Yan standing on the high platform of the city tower.

"The Great Ming and Dusk Lord is unkind, favors eunuchs, is heavy, is greedy for taxes, heavy punishments, and sits back and watches us suffer and be bullied."

Li Yan's voice was firm and powerful, like a heavy hammer hitting the drum and also on their chests.

"All the good fields belong to the gentry, and all the money, grain, silk and cloth belong to the prince!"

Facing the eyes of countless soldiers and ordinary people, Li Yan raised the Yanling knife that still had blood in his hand.

The wind was cold, and it rolled up Li Yan's headband, and also spread Li Yan's high-spirited voice to all directions and in all directions.

"Natural disasters are continuous, border disasters are endless, the Ming Dynasty, most of the numbers are over!"

"Now that we are raising the banner of righteousness, we will definitely sweep away the female evil and clarify the unai!"

"The world is not the world of gentry and princes!"

"The world should be the world of all the people!!"
