Tianzhu's wine could not be called wine. It was turbid and tasteless. Only the local people of Tianzhu, especially the people of the lowest class, liked it. Because of their status, these people would feel comfortable drinking this turbid wine. After a busy day, it was good to be able to drink a mouthful of wine.
In the taverns along the street, there were men who were topless and only wearing clothes on the lower half of their bodies. They were all drinking.
However, they could not drink in big gulps.
That was because it was just a bowl of wine.
If they drank in big gulps, it would be gone in two or three mouthfuls. What was the point of drinking?
They had no choice. They were poor!
While these people were drinking and chatting in twos and threes, suddenly, a shout came from the official road. It was none other than one of the soldiers that Ba Tuoluo had sent to deliver the message.
The content of the message was very simple. It was that Du Qi wanted to give a speech outside the southern city at five in the afternoon, and he wanted to burn all the corpses of the Brahmins and Kshatriyas who had rebelled.
After the announcement, everyone in the tavern heard it.
They immediately began to talk about it.
Moreover, these people's faces were full of gossip. They were curious about who had been killed. Under the caste system, countless people were suppressed. Countless people were angry but did not dare to speak up. That was a real thing.
When encountering Brahmin and Kshatriya nobles, the people could only kneel and be respectful because they were untouchables. However, now that the Brahmin and Kshatriya had been dealt with, the people who were angry but did not dare to speak up became active and asked what had happened.
"You want to talk about that? I know!"
In the crowd, a person who was drinking said. He looked around and said, "My family lives in the western city, the poorest part of the city. Last night, near the road outside my house, I saw Brahmin people moving quickly toward the northern city. Those people must be going to attack His Majesty the Emperor. Then, they were killed by His Majesty, so the corpses are to be burned. "
"Come on, I just heard the news."
At this time, another craftsman stood up and said, "Last night, because we were outside working overnight to build houses. Because we were close to the northern city and were on the roof, we could see some of the situation. At that time, there were torches in all directions in the city. Countless Brahmin and Kshatriya people were charging toward the palace. However, when these people reached the palace, His Majesty the Emperor used his divine power and caused the city to explode. Countless Brahmin and Kshatriya people were killed and injured. In the end, His Majesty the Emperor killed them all. "
As soon as he said that, someone added on.
Many people were talking about what had happened the night before.
However, as they talked, the number of people talking about the Brahmins and Kshatriyas' rebellion gradually decreased. Suddenly, someone in the crowd said, "Now that the Brahmins and Kshatriyas are dead, and His Majesty has abolished the caste system, it means that we are free and can do whatever we want."
"Yes, yes, we are free."
"We don't have to be afraid of the Brahmin and Kshatriya people anymore."
"We won't be bullied anymore."
…
More and more people were talking.
At this time, the atmosphere in the tavern changed. Everyone was extremely excited, and they became even more excited. This kind of thing was simply inconceivable to all the people of India at the bottom of society, especially those who were born in Sudra. Now, all of this had changed. All of this was because of Du Qi.
Everyone was extremely excited.
Everyone cheered.
In fact, the same thing was happening everywhere in the city. Countless people were cheering. Even though Vadhara announced the abolition of the caste system, the people were still afraid. When they saw the Brahmin and Kshatriya people, they still had to kneel and salute. But now, they were finally certain that the new policy was really being implemented.
They really didn't need to kneel anymore. They really wouldn't be bullied anymore.
That was the reason for countless people's excitement.
Before noon, more and more people had already started to go to the southern part of the city. They were ready to wait outside the southern part of the city. After all, if they arrived first, they could see Du Qi from the innermost part of the city. If he waited until it was overcrowded, it would be impossible for him to get close to the crowd at that time.
However, many of the people who arrived early saw a steady stream of corpses being carried out. Countless corpses were piled up outside the city. There were even drops of blood flowing from the corpses, causing the scene to be very frightening. Some of the more cowardly people who saw this scene and smelled the stench of blood directly vomited. However, even more commoners' faces gradually turned red as they cheered.
The people had been bullied too much.
Countless people had been bullied. That was a history of blood and tears. But now, the Brahmin and Kshatriya people were killed. So many people suddenly cheered. Some people were so happy that they cried. The situation was quite out of control.
However, when it was close to five in the afternoon, the cheering of the people lessened. More people gathered and talked endlessly. They were all talking about the Brahmin and Kshatriya people who were killed.
Especially when it was close to noon, there was still a lot of news in the city.
It was said that the Brahmin and Kshatriya families were all confiscated and dismissed. One by one, the Brahmin and Kshatriya families were swept out of their homes by the army. All their wealth was confiscated and they were all ordinary people.
This was also the reason why the people were talking and cheering.
The people were cheering for too many things today.
What happened today made them incomparably happy.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
At this moment, a loud and resounding shout suddenly rang out. Following this voice, all the citizens looked towards the city gate. They saw Du Qi, who was wearing a black robe, walking over with large strides. Beside Du Qi was Mordor and a group of guards, as well as the accompanying army.
When the team appeared, the people all made way for Du Qi and the others to pass.
Du Qi went straight to the place where the corpses were piled up.
There was a high platform here.
It was built specially for Du Qi to go on the platform and give a speech. Du Qi walked up. Mordor and the others surrounded him to ensure that no one could get close.
Du Qi looked around. The people were already overcrowded. Countless people had gathered. Looking at the situation, there were at least seven to eight thousand people. More and more people were still gathering.
There were a lot of people in the circle.
It was also very noisy.
Du Qi took a deep breath and raised his hand. "Silence!"
As soon as Du Qi spoke, the interpreter standing in the corner of the stage immediately began to translate his words. When the people at the front heard it, they booed. The scene gradually quieted down. Soon, everyone stopped talking. Pairs of eyes fell on Du Qi, waiting for Du Qi to speak.
