Views:

"Brothers, don't be fooled by this dog official! He is deceiving us! Is there a single word of truth coming out of the mouths of these dog officials?! These dog officials are used to speaking the truth to people and telling lies to ghosts. Now he can lie with his eyes open, saying that Minister Huang fell off his horse and died, and it had nothing to do with us, but when he is safe, he will turn around and change his words, saying that we killed Minister Huang, and we are killing officials and rebelling, and we deserve to die... ... At that time, we will be helpless to cry out to the heavens and the earth, and we will have no place to bury our bodies!"

When Zhu Ping'an was commanding his personal soldiers to collect the body of Minister Huang, someone suddenly shouted from the crowd of soldiers.

"That's right, brothers. None of these dog officials are trustworthy! At the beginning, the dog officials summoned us to join the Zhenwu Camp. They said so much good things. They promised that those of us with wives would get one stone of silver, and those without wives would get four-tenths less. In the second month of spring and autumn, each stone would be converted into half a tael of silver. But later, they first petitioned to reduce the silver to 0.4 taels, then they petitioned to stop our wives' food, and then they simply delayed our military pay, and they haven't paid it yet. They are riding on our necks and shitting and pissing, making fun of us step by step! Brothers, use your brains to think about it. Is there a word of truth in what these dog officials say?! Can we believe the promises of these dog officials?!"

"That's right, brothers. This dog official is two-faced. He can lie with his eyes open now, but he can change his words later! This is a temporary measure that the dog official has no choice but to take. If we don't seize the opportunity now, we will lose our money, wives' food, and soldiers' salaries in the future, and we won't even have our lives."

"Brothers, the dog official's words are unfounded and cannot be trusted. Otherwise, you will have no place to cry in the future!"

"Brothers, these dog officials are not trustworthy at all. They are all untrustworthy and will break their promises to make a fortune!"

After the first person spoke, people from different directions in the group of soldiers began to shout in agreement, doing their best to slander Zhu Ping'an.

Under the instigation of these people, the rebel soldiers began to riot again.

Jump, jump out...

Zhu Pingan ordered the meat shield soldiers to stop their actions. He stood on the table with a calm face, watching the chaotic soldiers with unstable hearts. He silently took note of the chaotic soldiers who had just bewitched people. The reactions of these people were within Zhu Pingan's expectations. If no one slandered and bewitched them, it would be abnormal. The chaos in Zhenwu Camp was obviously premeditated. Zhu Pingan believed that 99% of the chaotic soldiers who jumped out now were participants.

Zhu Pingan stood calmly on the table, waiting for the soldiers to stop jumping and finish slandering and demagoguery, then he smiled and bowed to the soldiers again, saying loudly, "Very good, thank you brothers for your concern and reminder, your worry is very reasonable."

"Haha, you bastard official, we've exposed the truth, right? Are you angry and embarrassed? You're so hypocritical, you still say you care and want to remind me."

"You dog official, if you keep your word, then come down and let yourself be killed! That's what you said!"

"You officials are good at telling lies with open eyes and empty words. We don't believe what you say!"

"Die, you dog officer!"

The mob of soldiers uttered weird curses, urging Zhu Ping'an to come down and be killed.

"Haha, brothers from Zhenwu Camp, please be patient. I will not lie with my eyes open, and I will not speak empty words! Your worries are unnecessary. Why?! This is the second thing I want to say." Zhu Ping'an stood on the table, smiled, stretched out his hand to press down, and said loudly.

"You bastard, how else are you going to fool us?!"

"Don't try to deceive us, you bastard! We don't believe a single word of your words or your promises!"

There was a booing from the crowd of soldiers.

"The second thing I want to talk about is the Death Exemption Certificate! Duke Wei, Marquis Linhuai, and Guard He personally wrote three thousand Death Exemption Certificates, with their official seals on them! Each of you will have one."

Zhu Ping'an stood on the table, pointed his finger at the commander's tent behind him, and spoke to the soldiers.

"Ah?! Death-free coupon?!"

"Everyone gets a death exemption certificate?! They wrote it themselves, and it's even stamped with an official seal?! Is that true?!"

When the soldiers heard Zhu Ping'an say that he would give each of them a death exemption certificate, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhu Ping'an had said before that Minister Huang fell off his horse by himself and it had nothing to do with them, so they were somewhat tempted.

However, after being reminded that officials are not trustworthy, they started to worry again. It makes sense. Zhu Ping'an can lie with his eyes open and say that Huang Shilang fell off his horse and died. Then he may change his words in the future and say that they killed Huang Shilang and they killed officials to rebel... ...

However, if it is really as Zhu Ping'an said now, that everyone is given a death exemption certificate, then there is no need to worry.

We have the death exemption certificate, which was written by the idiots themselves and stamped with the official seal. We are not afraid even if they change their words in the future. I have the death exemption certificate, which exempts me from death, so what do I have to fear

"Brothers, don't believe the words of the dog officials."

"Brothers, don't be fooled by these corrupt officials. How could they possibly give each of us a chance to escape death?"

"Brothers, this dog official is just a delaying tactic. He is just talking about giving us a death exemption certificate. He will never give it to us."

As expected, many people stood up from different directions in the group of soldiers and loudly slandered Zhu Pingan.

"Brothers of the Zhenwu Camp, did you hear me wrong? The exemption from death certificate! Each exemption from death certificate is personally written by Duke Wei and his men, and each exemption from death certificate is stamped with an official seal. Each of you will receive an exemption from death certificate!" Zhu Ping'an nodded vigorously to the chaotic soldiers and said loudly.

After saying this, Zhu Ping'an ordered the personal soldiers behind him who served as human shields to quickly go to the general's tent to get the death exemption certificate.

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an's words and actions were consistent and he sent people to get the exemption from death certificate, the eyes of these chaotic soldiers suddenly brightened.

Although some people in the group of rioters continued to loudly slander Zhu Ping'an and incite the rioters, it was obvious that the effect was minimal.

Two personal soldiers who served as meat shields entered the general's tent and soon came out with a thick stack of death exemption certificates in their hands.

Seeing the meat shield soldiers bringing back a thick stack of death exemption certificates with red seals, Zhu Pingan smiled slightly. Duke Wei and his men finally did not slack off this time. Although they did slack off, he could make up for it on the spot, but it would be best if they did not slack off.

"Lord Zhu, there are a total of 580 death exemption coupons. The Duke and his men are still working on making them..." the meat shield soldier whispered as he handed the death exemption coupons to Zhu Ping'an.

"It doesn't matter. You can go and get it every tea time." Zhu Ping'an nodded and instructed.

"Yes, sir." The meat shield soldier took the order.
