Once Xie He appeared, Zhang Sihou and the rest immediately stopped and retreated to the side. They also pulled the people on the ground to the back and made them kneel, clearing an empty space for Xie He.
The villagers' gazes turned to Xie He.
It seemed like this person was the mastermind.
Xie He cleared her throat and opened her mouth.
"Fellow villagers! I am Xie He, a subordinate of General Xiao. You must be wondering what happened today. Why did the Rong family become like this? Why were they tied up and beaten? Let me answer, it's because they are rebelling! They want to rebel against the emperor! Those who rebel must be dealt with ruthlessly. Three clans must be exterminated, and the nine generations of those who commit the most heinous crimes must be executed!
Everyone should know who General Xiao is. He is the one who killed 200,000 Wokou pirates in North Korea. He is the one who helped us take our revenge. He is the one who killed all the Wokou pirates! I am his subordinate! We are here on General Xiao's orders to punish these rebels!
Of course, these people are not just rebelling. They want to drag you along with them. They want to use you as cannon fodder and send you to your deaths in exchange for their glory and wealth! Did they tell you that if you follow them, they will reduce your rent or give you money? "
The villagers were in an uproar.
"We don't need this money! This is a rebellion! Not only did these heartless traitors seek their own deaths, but they also wanted to kill all their fellow villagers as well! I believe that this is definitely not the first time they want to kill you! Fellow villagers, look at what they are wearing! Silk and satin! What about you? Look at what you are wearing! "
Xie He picked up a man who had been beaten up and pointed at the clothes on his body.
The villagers looked down at the rags they were wearing.
"What do they usually eat? It's fish and meat, and fragrant plain white rice! They eat three meals a day, and they are full! What about you? You eat vegetables, and sometimes you can't even eat these. You can only eat some porridge! Can you eat your fill? Are you hungry? "
"Hungry!"
A voice rang out from among the villagers. The villagers all looked over and saw a sallow and emaciated man raising his fist and shouting with all his might.
"Hungry! Mr. Xie! I can't eat my fill! "
Xie Heyi pointed over.
"That's right! They are feasting on fish and meat, but your stomachs are rumbling with hunger! You worked so hard to cultivate the land, but you have to give them more than half of the food you get! Let them eat, drink and be merry! But all of you work so hard that you can't even eat a full meal! When was the last time he ate meat? When was the last time he tasted oil? When was the last time he was full?
I'm afraid you've forgotten about it, haven't you? Just like that! This is how you treat your group of people! How dare they think of rebelling and drag you all to your deaths! They're waiting for you to die, and then exchange it for more glory and wealth! They don't care if you live or die! Who among you has been humiliated by them? "
Just as Xie Heyi finished speaking, another voice rang out.
"My big yellow dog ate one of my family's eggs, so they beat me up, killed my dog, and stole my two chickens!"
A farmer had a look of hatred on his face.
"Me too! My child accidentally damaged a few seedlings, and they hung him up and beat him. He's still bedridden now! "
Another man shouted.
"Me too! They wanted my family's land, but I didn't agree. Every night, they would send people to damage my family's seedlings! "
Another man stood out.
A few of them stood up and shouted. Immediately, the crowd couldn't control themselves. One by one, they voiced out their dissatisfaction with the Rong Family. Everyone spoke at once.
Perhaps it was just a trivial matter, perhaps it was just an eye roll or a scolding, but at this moment, everything was infinitely magnified.
In an instant, the Rong Conglomerate became wicked beyond redemption, even though they might have given the villagers some benefits on certain occasions and festivals and done some good deeds.
The voices of the farmers grew louder and louder, and more and more people spoke up. Their anger and dissatisfaction grew.
Seeing that the time was right, Xie Heyi looked at the soldier beside him. The soldier immediately understood and struck the gong. The sound of the gong made the villagers stop complaining.
Xie Heyi continued her performance.
"It's this group of extravagant and lascivious people who have the most land in this village, the best land. Most of you are their tenants, working for them so that you can make a living and not starve to death. Why is this land theirs, but you don't have any land of your own?
Your land has been seized by them by force and deception! They've used all sorts of methods to take it away! If you don't give it to them, they will snatch it, beat it, and use all sorts of methods to make the land their own! And you can only eat their leftovers! Are you willing? "
"No! No! No! "
It was still the few people who took the lead to shout, and then more people followed. In the end, everyone shouted together. Everyone was shouting. Even the ignorant children followed their parents and raised their arms to shout their unwillingness.
"You are all people who have lived here for generations. It's you who work in the fields! It's you who let the land grow food! It's your credit! Not these extravagant and lascivious people! Am I right?! "
Xie Heyi shouted.
"Yes! Right! Right! Right! "
The villagers didn't need to be led and shouted loudly.
"These traitors stole your land! Now, General Xiao sent me here! To help you take back your land! Is that okay? "
"Good! Good! Good! Good! "
The villagers didn't know if they understood Xie Heyi's meaning, but they just followed and shouted. Anyway, this wasn't a difficult task.
"Execute these extravagant and lascivious people! Is that okay? "
"Good! Good! Good! Good! "
They were still shouting.
"Leader of the traitors, Rong Bing! Audacious to the extreme, sinful! Behead him!! "
Xie Heyi pointed at Rong Bing, who was being controlled. Then, two soldiers immediately went forward. One pulled Rong Bing to the side and controlled him, while the other raised his sword.
"Behead him!!"
"Behead him! Behead him! Behead him! Behead him! "
Xie Heyi crazily led the crowd, and the villagers cooperated and shouted along. Maybe they felt that it was interesting, or maybe they felt that it didn't matter if they shouted along with everyone else. Anyway, they just shouted.
This was called the will of the people.
The soldier raised his sword and slashed down without hesitation. A head rolled to the ground, and the headless corpse spat out a mouthful of blood.
Someone died.
Someone really died.
The head that used to be held high was now rolling on the stage, and the headless corpse had already fallen to the ground, spitting out blood.
The supreme ruler of Dayan Village had been beheaded.
The villagers' shouts came to a halt.
"Behead him! Behead him! Behead him! Behead him! "
However, there were still a few people who continued to shout. The more they shouted, the louder they became. The villagers were at a loss for a moment, and then they continued to shout.
Although there was a trace of fear in their hearts, they didn't know why, but they still followed and shouted. They shouted even louder than before, as if this could drive away the fear and uneasiness in their hearts.
