"Unworthy?! He said I'm not worthy!!! You all heard it!!! Zhu Ping'an, Lord Zhu's words are so arrogant, scolding me like a grandson. It can be seen from this that in his eyes, what status do warriors like me have?!"
"It's no exaggeration to say that in his eyes, we warriors are just like pigs and dogs! We shed blood and sweat, sacrificed our lives, chased the Japanese pirates, and returned victoriously, but what did we get? We got a word of 'unworthy' from Lord Zhu Ping'an! Haha, brothers, it's us who are unworthy!"
When General Wang heard Zhu Ping'an say that he was not worthy, he couldn't help but secretly thank Zhu Ping'an for his great assist. He immediately showed a look of great humiliation on his face, poked his armor on his chest with his fingers, and shouted at everyone in anger, even his eyes became moist.
General Wang was indeed a seasoned veteran. He took advantage of Zhu Ping'an's words to expand the conflict between him and Zhu Ping'an into a conflict between Zhu Ping'an and all the warriors, and kidnapped all the soldiers present to his side.
Under the influence of General Wang's words and inducement, the soldiers on the city looked at Zhu Ping'an with some dissatisfaction.
"Don't kidnap us. I'm talking about you. You were afraid of death and surrendered to the Japanese pirates. You also invited the Japanese into the city and offered the entire city of Suzhou to the Japanese pirates, killing all the soldiers, all the colleagues, and hundreds of thousands of civilians. You are a traitor who surrendered to the Japanese pirates and invited the Japanese into the city. You say that I am jealous of your achievements in destroying the Japanese. Do you deserve it?!"
Zhu Ping'an shook his head and sneered, looking at General Wang with contempt, and said indifferently with the corner of his mouth pulling.
"Zhu Ping'an! Mr. Zhu! You keep saying that I surrendered to the Japanese pirates, show me the evidence! You were also a county magistrate, and you need evidence to solve a case. The last traitor who lied and framed the loyal officials with trumped-up charges is still kneeling in front of the Yuewangye Temple! Do you want to be the second Qin Hui?!"
General Wang pointed at Zhu Ping'an indignantly, brought up the example of Qin Hui framing Yue Fei, and cursed him with foam flying at the mouth.
After saying this, without giving Zhu Pingan a chance to speak, General Wang clasped his fists and bowed to the city wall, "Your Excellency, all the gentlemen, all my brothers, please help me and my brothers who are fighting bravely and crying out for injustice! Don't let the tragedy of Yue Wumu happen again. Thank you!"
"Today I am the one who suffers from injustice. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, it may be you!"
"It's time to stand up and say no to Qin Hui and his gang! Let them know that we are not something that can be manipulated at will. Let them know that there is a price to pay for framing others! Let them not dare to frame loyal people again!"
General Wang's remarks were very sentimental, and many soldiers on the city wall could not help but resonate with them.
He sympathized with General Wang and was hostile to Zhu Ping'an.
Seeing the looks of the soldiers, General Wang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction in his heart, "Boy, you are still a little too young to fight with me."
"Mr. Zhu, you said I surrendered to the Japanese pirates. Do you have any documentary evidence or physical evidence, such as a letter of surrender in which I expressed my loyalty to the Japanese pirates? A signed letter of surrender?!"
General Wang still did not give Zhu Ping'an a chance to speak. He asked Zhu Ping'an a question as soon as he finished speaking.
Zhu Pingan shook his head.
"Did you see it, Your Excellency? Did you see it, my lords? Did you see it, my brothers? He shook his head!"
General Wang suddenly seemed to have drunk half a catty of old wine, and started shouting excitedly, pointing at Zhu Ping'an.
At this moment, General Wang felt that he was in control of the situation.
Prefect Shang looked at Zhu Ping'an with a complicated expression, shook his head slightly, and sighed softly.
"Mr. Zhu, let me ask you again, you said that I surrendered to the Japanese pirates, can you prove that I surrendered to the Japanese pirates?"
General Wang once again loudly questioned Zhu Ping'an, more confident than before.
Faced with General Wang's questioning, Zhu Ping'an still shook his head.
General Wang was even more excited this time, as if he had drunk a pound of old wine. He pointed at Zhu Ping'an and shouted to Shang Zhifu and others, "Your Excellency, my lords, my brothers, you saw it. He shook his head again!"
Prefect Shang looked at Zhu Ping'an under the city and couldn't help but shook his head again and sighed heavily.
The soldiers on the city wall became more and more sympathetic to General Wang and hostile to Zhu Ping'an and the Zhejiang troops under the city.
At this moment, General Wang felt that he had control over thunder and lightning.
"Mr. Zhu, you have no documentary evidence, physical evidence, or witnesses, yet you just say that I surrendered to the Japanese pirates! How is your behavior any different from Qin Hui who framed Prince Yue with trumped-up charges?!"
General Wang pointed at Zhu Ping'an angrily and started cursing.
Then, he used the same routine again, not giving Zhu Pingan a chance to speak, and quickly turned around to bow to the Shang Zhifu and the others on the city wall, then bowed 90 degrees and asked with a look of indignation and grievance:
"Your Excellency, all the Excellencies, and my fellow comrades, you have witnessed all of this with your own eyes. I asked him, you said I surrendered to the Japanese pirates, do you have any written or physical evidence to prove that I surrendered to the Japanese pirates, he shook his head to indicate no! I asked him again, you said I surrendered to the Japanese pirates, do you have any witnesses to prove that I surrendered to the Japanese pirates, he shook his head again to indicate no! There is no written or physical evidence, no witnesses, just my mouth says that I surrendered to the Japanese pirates! In broad daylight, another Fengboting tragedy is being staged in front of you, no, this is even more tragic than the Fengboting tragedy. In the Fengboting tragedy, the victims were only Lord Yue, his son Yue Yun, and his general Zhang Xian. Today, the victims of this Fengboting tragedy are me and more than a thousand loyal and patriotic soldiers who followed me out of the city. These are more than a thousand lives. Please, Your Excellency, all the Excellencies, and my fellow comrades, make the decision for us!"
"Master Fuzun, you said it yourself. You said you would never, absolutely not listen to Zhu Ping'an and the Zhejiang Army's one-sided words. If Zhu Ping'an cannot produce detailed, accurate, and sufficient evidence to prove that I surrendered to the Japanese pirates, you will definitely stand up for me and my soldiers. Not only will you prove and clear my innocence, you will also insist that Master Zhu apologize to me and that the Zhejiang Army apologize to my soldiers."
"Master Fuzun, do you still keep your word? Now is the time for you to fulfill your promise."
"He, Zhu Ping'an, doesn't have to apologize to me, but he must apologize to the soldiers under my command. They owe him an apology!"
General Wang stood at the foot of the city, angrily pointing his finger at Zhu Ping'an who was more than a hundred meters away, and with a look of indignation and grievance on his face, he asked for justice from Prefect Shang and others on the city wall.
At this moment, General Wang felt that he was in control of the situation, controlled the thunder and lightning, and dominated the entire scene. He had already won this confrontation!
Zhu Ping'an, you are still a little too young to fight with me.
