Gao Wu: Traveling through the heavens in dreams, a professional rebel!

Chapter 24: The Great Purge of the Aristocratic Family, the Truth is on the Sword! Crazy confiscation of property and extermination of clans, slaughter of all forces.

In a certain manor, there was constant drinking and laughter.

At the same time, various sarcastic or contemptuous words were constantly heard.

"Hahahaha... we've fooled those reckless men! They must be worried every day now!"

"That's right! The world is still ruled by the aristocratic families after all! A mere peasant! Do you think you are worthy of being in charge of the great treasure? Ugh!"

"If we delay a little longer, by then, everyone will respond and the whole world will rebel! That little Lin Yaozu will surely die without a burial place."

"..."

However, at this moment, the aggressive soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army had surrounded the place.

Seeing this scene, the servant at the door was so frightened that he went to report it.

After a while.

"No! Something terrible has happened! Sir! There is a group of soldiers outside the door who have surrounded this place. They all have swords and they are here with bad intentions!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately became angry and stood up and cursed.

"What? Is that so? Come with me to check it out!"

"How can a group of soldiers be so rampant?"

"Humph! Brother Zhou! We will follow you! You have no evidence! Even those peasants wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!"

"That's right! After all, we are a noble family in Danyang County and control countless resources. We can easily deal with some soldiers."

"..."

At the same time as the words fell, the mighty general led his soldiers to break open the door and rush into the mansion without hesitation.

Anyone who dared to stand in the way would be ruthlessly killed by the sharp blade.

One sword decides life and death, ruthless and iron-blooded.

Facing this group of Zhenyuan Army soldiers who were as fierce as hungry wolves and as ferocious as Shuras.

Whether it is the loyal servants who protect their masters or the experienced and steady housekeepers, they are like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, powerless to change the situation and can only allow themselves to be swept away by the strong wind of fate.

In the blink of an eye, the magnificent manor that was once filled with laughter and joy was shrouded in a cold and murderous atmosphere.

The next moment, a voice like a death judgment suddenly resounded in all directions.

"The Zhou family of Danyang has colluded with bandits. Their crimes are unforgivable. I order to confiscate their property and exterminate their clan as a warning to others! Kill them!"

As he spoke, a general exuding murderous aura killed a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes in the manor.

Seeing this scene, the Zhou clan leader widened his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face, and screamed and questioned.

"You... do you have any evidence? We have no collusion at all... You are framing us... This is a frame-up..."

But before he could finish, the general laughed wildly and said contemptuously.

"Evidence? His Majesty said that you are colluding with bandits! That's enough! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

Not far away, several guests from other noble families were so frightened that they quickly distanced themselves from the matter.

"I am not from the Zhou family. I am just a guest."

"Yes, yes, yes! We are not familiar with Zhou!"

"This sir..."

Unfortunately, after just a few words, the general started yelling violently.

"Humph! Does this general care whether you have any business? Since you dare to come as a guest, you are guilty of the same crime as me. Kill! Kill them all!"

As he spoke, without waiting for those people to beg for mercy or say anything else, he picked up the knife, walked forward, and hacked them to death in a few quick strokes.

at the same time.

The soldiers were also killing people everywhere, the weapons in their hands flashed with cold light and dyed a deep red.

In a short period of time, all kinds of screams were heard in the manor.

"No! Don't! Ah!"

"Spare my life!"

"I am innocent!"

“…” Half an incense stick later.

The carefully manicured lawn was stained with a sad color by the scarlet blood.

The last rays of the setting sun tried weakly to add a hint of warmth to the horrific scene, but it only made the blinding red glow three points more eye-catching.

The air was filled with a heavy smell of rust and death, which was suffocating.

Broken limbs and body parts were scattered everywhere, buried deep in the trampled and messy flowers, and intertwined with the withered petals.

The walls of the surrounding buildings, which had witnessed countless laughter and joy, were now splashed with blood.

Like a silent witness, recording this sudden massacre.

Windows shattered and screens flapped in the wind.

It was as if the manor was weeping, or like an unwilling soul, looking for a way to escape from this purgatory.

Amid the devastation, one could occasionally hear faint groans, which were the lives that had not yet completely died out, struggling in despair.

But what greeted them next was not rescue, but ruthless finishing blows from the Zhenyuan Army soldiers.

There's no such thing as escaping from a family massacre. Your head is already smashed.

After efficiently, quickly, and swiftly exterminating one family, the general led most of his soldiers to slaughter the second, third, and fourth...

Just like the cycle of history, the scene of property confiscation and family extermination once took place in the capital city.

Nowadays, it appears again in various cities.

In one day, two-thirds of the aristocratic family forces left over from the Dafeng Dynasty were wiped out.

Before they could really start to rebel, Lin Yaozu beat the master to death with a random punch.

By some strange coincidence, someone took the initiative and nipped the danger in the bud.

Although there are many smart people in these aristocratic families, they can only guess Lin Yaozu's thoughts based on past experience and historical conventions.

Obviously, they fell into a thinking trap and were killed by surprise.

A conspiracy and a fight?

Reform slowly and take it step by step?
Do not!
Lin Yaozu directly used force to tell the aristocratic family.

Either surrender or die!
There is no other choice.

The truth is on the sword.

On that day, the amount of blood flowing within the Wu Dynasty was enough to form a river.

The blood flowed like a river, which became the most realistic portrayal.

In the blink of an eye, the next morning, corpses from various cities were loaded onto trucks and transported to the mass graves outside the city in an endless stream.

Once upon a time, this was the fate of those who had no relatives and were poor.

Now, these former nobles have suffered the same fate.

As for the remaining one third of the noble families, after hearing the relevant news, they were all frightened and retreated into hiding in an instant.

Most of the leaders of the aristocratic families were terrified and decided to be obedient citizens and stop seeking death.

There are also a small number of leaders who still harbor resentment and anger and want to fight to the death.

However, after summoning the servants and the assassins and shouting slogans, they were ruthlessly slaughtered by the suppression troops stationed in the city.

After the restrictions are lifted, hard power is enough to wipe out all disobedience.

As for the whole process, the real common people were not disturbed too much.

After all, they were not the target. At most, they would be scared and go home, with some fear in their hearts.

Besides, maybe there will just be more things to talk about tomorrow.

Whether the aristocratic family destroys the clan or not has nothing to do with them, for these people.

The most important things are what to eat tomorrow and whether they can survive this year and not die of hunger.

Inside the imperial palace, Lin Yaozu sat in the main hall in a leisurely manner, listening to the soldiers reporting on the progress of property confiscation and extermination of clans in various places.
