I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 102 It's simply lawless (Subscribe)

There are two kinds of cruelty in man.

One that is visible externally, covered in blood, and makes people afraid when they see it.

A feeling hidden inside, without any sight of war, yet filling one's heart with despair.

Although both types of cruelty are inhumane, the latter is millions of times more dangerous than the former.

A sentence from a cabinet minister, "We have to make the people suffer a little more," can cause thousands of families to become homeless and eat each other's children.

So Hu Butang slowly opened his eyes, and in an instant a dazzling light of blood splashed into his eyes. There were hideous broken limbs all over the ground. The dead were ripped open by the monsters, and their hearts, livers, spleens and lungs fell to the ground. The living were still wailing. It felt like the evil ghosts in hell were eating people just like this.

The worst-off was the branch of the Xu family, which was eaten from the feet all the way to the waist and abdomen, but still survived.

I fainted from the pain in the middle, and then woke up again from the pain.

This repeated process had tortured him to the point of being completely destroyed.

Hu Butang came to the window and saw that the Guanchao Tower had already been surrounded by 3,000 officers and soldiers under Lu Jing. In the iron-barrel-like encirclement, one monster after another pounced on the entourage and guards of the gentry with a strong sense of hunger.

There are also some nimble guards among these followers, and some are even masters of the Lingyuan realm.

However, these people could defeat the monsters that pounced on them for food, but they could not avoid the golden knives that were chopped down by Song Yuheng, Pei Guanyin and others.

Inside and outside the Guanchao Tower, there was blood everywhere, it was a horrific sight.

Hu Butang sighed and said, "I have committed a great sin."

Lu Jing didn't care.

Struggle is a life-and-death struggle.

Besides, who among these bodyguards and followers who are kept by the leaders of the wealthy families in various state capitals can be innocent?

Lu Jing said calmly: "Instead of worrying about the people below, you should worry about whether your clerks can be clean when doing things in the various prefectures. If you can't appease the people in the various prefectures, and the wealthy families stir up trouble, then something big will happen."

Hu Bu Tang: "Don't worry. Those clerks were directly transferred from the cabinet. They have a bright future and will not ruin their future for a little profit."

"And as you said, the memorials to the cabinet were sent out this morning."

"Once we have taken control of all the prefectures, we will only have one tyrant left, the Xu family of Huating."

Rectify the work of various provincial governments in Yuhang.

Kill the Xu family!

This is what Hu Butang is most eager to do!
The wailing that reached Hu Butang's ears gradually weakened, so Hu Butang looked at Lu Jing and said, "It's almost done."

Lu Jing nodded and called the monster he had just held in his hand over: "Come here."

Monster: “Ah?”

The monster approached Lu Jing tremblingly, not knowing what was going on for a moment.

Lu Jing pointed at Hu Butang and said, "Give him a claw."

ha?
The monster knelt down immediately: "He is a second-rank official!"

Lu Jing wondered, "Before I let you become a second-rank official before I die, you're still not happy? Stop wasting time, I'll give you a quick death."

monster:"……"

Although he already knew that he was doomed to die, Lu Jing's frank words still aroused the monster's ferocity. As a result, a fierce light flashed in the monster's eyes, and its sharp claws immediately grabbed Hu Butang's chest.

"Stab!"

The official uniform on Hu Butang's body was torn apart immediately, and a deep claw mark appeared on his chest from his left shoulder to his abdomen, and then blood soon oozed out of the wound.

But it was only a superficial wound.

The monster was stunned. Something was wrong!
He was going for his life! How come he only broke his skin and bled?
Lu Jing stared at the monster with amusement: "You are naughty."

As soon as the words fell, the invisible magnetic force surrounding the monster suddenly rotated, and the monster was twisted and compressed into a ball of flesh and blood in an instant, with the blood in the body splattering everywhere with the sound of breaking bones.

Hu Butang was beaten all over.

Hu Butang: “…”

He glanced at Lu Jing unhappily. Lu Jing said with a smile: "Do the whole act."

In order to play this role well, he even restrained the urge to personally join the fight.

After finishing their part, Lu Jing took Hu Butang downstairs.

There were no survivors from the wealthy families living upstairs in the Guanchao Tower, and the same was true downstairs.

So it's time for the officers and soldiers to move in and clean up the mess.

As Hu Butang was settled, the Dayu officers and soldiers holding sharp blades and full of murderous intent began to shrink from the outer circle and killed the monsters that had been released before.

The blood on the ground gradually formed a stream and flowed into the Qiantang River.

As a result, the water of Qiantang River gradually turned blood red.

……

The next day.

Dayu Tiandu, Wenhua Palace in the imperial city.

Zhang Taiyue, the second assistant of the cabinet, hurried to the Wenhua Hall. Before he even entered, he heard the angry roar of Gao Su, the first assistant, from inside: "How audacious! This is simply lawless!"

“Lawless!!”

Zhang Taiyue's originally anxious steps suddenly slowed down, until Gao Su's roar gradually weakened, he walked leisurely into the Wenhua Hall.

After he arrived at the Wenhua Palace, he glanced around and saw the palace maids, eunuchs and other people serving in the palace retreating with their heads bowed and fists.

With the door open, Zhang Taiyue asked calmly, "Brother Yan Zheng, what are you so angry about?"

Gao Su, whose hair and beard had already turned gray but whose physique and spirit were still strong, glanced at Zhang Taiyue unhappily: "I don't believe you haven't received the report from Hu Yuxian. He actually gathered all the gentry in Yuhang and annihilated them all! This is simply insane!!"

He dared to do this to the gentry in various prefectures in Yuhang today!

Tomorrow I will dare to do the same to the wealthy families in other provinces!
Will Gao Su's family be wiped out in the same way one day?
This beast must not be allowed to stay!

At this moment, Gao Su had already decided to kill Hu Yuxian.

But Zhang Taiyue said leisurely: "But Hu Yuxian has only been in office for one month, and he has already collected 13 million taels of tax."

"In addition, there are 360,000 acres in two days, all donated to the court by local gentry in Yuhang. If your majesty knew about this, he would definitely be very happy."

"And this is just the beginning. Once the maritime ban is lifted and implemented, the court will have a steady flow of silver every year."

There was one more thing Zhang Taiyue didn't say.

In Yuhang Province, the richest family, the Xu family, has not made any move yet.

After Zhang Taiyue's financial calculations, Gao Su gradually calmed down.

I have to say that killing the rich is indeed a profitable business.

During the previous emperor’s reign, local tyrants and corrupt officials were also killed, but the money collected and spent was not as much as Hu Yuxian collected this time.

Why?

Because I dare not kill.

The previous emperor would at most kill some wealthy merchants in Yuhang and local corrupt officials, but he would never dare to take action against the wealthy families.

If you dare to use a knife, others will dare to do the same!
But what I didn’t expect was... those so-called wealthy and powerful families are all powerful in words, but in fact they are a bunch of cowards who can’t stand up at the critical moment!

But the impact this time is too bad after all!

The south is fine, but once the big businesses and tycoons in the northwest and northeast know about it, they will definitely become disloyal and may even turn against the barbarians outside the Great Wall. At that time, the world will be in real danger!

Gao Su said with a straight face: "We got the wealth of Yuhang Province, but lost the hearts of the people. Brother Weishan, do you think it's worth it?"

Weishan is the name of Zhang Taiyue.

Hearing Gao Su's words, Zhang Taiyue smiled and said, "That's why we need this money from Yuhang even more. We need to train new troops and strengthen the northern armaments! With powerful weapons in hand, even if those people in the north have ulterior motives, how dare we touch them?"
