After Chang Qiyu said this, he drank the wine that Xie Linlang brought him in one gulp, and then took the initiative to get into the prison car.
He has always overlooked the capital from a high place. He wanted to know, if he was crushed into the dust, what kind of world would he see
The prison car slowly walked out of the palace gate, crossed the Guangqiao, and entered the main road.
The people who were still in the city didn't know what to do, so they all came out and stood on the street to watch. They didn't throw stones or anything, they were just a little inexplicable.
Whether it was a slave strike for Chang Qiyu, or Chang Qiyu's birthday banquet on the spot, or killing his own brother, this was nothing like what the first god of war would have done in the past.
In the past, when Chang Qiyu appeared on the street, the people would cheer enthusiastically, and there would also be many women secretly sending the news.
But his bright life trajectory seemed to be completely distorted after the war. Although he tried his best to save it later, he was finally sent to the prison cart.
At the same time, many slave owners on both sides were also staring at Chang Qiyu. In their opinion, the slaves were disobedient because of Chang Qiyu, so they were both angry and a little afraid of Chang Qiyu.

The generals in Bocheng led some generals, and when they returned to the palace, they passed by the escort team.
At first, the lieutenant general saw so many people around, and it was a little strange who it was. When he took a closer look, he found that it was Chang Qiyu, and he quickly reported the matter to the general.
The general frowned, but didn't care. The army and Chang Qiyu didn't meet each other at all. They only obeyed the emperor and the lord, so it was over.
*
When Chang Qiyu's prisoner car passed through the bustling area, it came to the capital city wharf, the Shibo post station, and the middle and lower blocks.
The slaves who had been on strike moved one after another. They came to both sides of the road and looked at Chang Qiyu's escort team with an expression that was neither hateful nor sad.
The slave owner raised the whip to stop them from running around, but seeing that they were just here to watch the prison cart, and they were all locked and cuffed, they couldn't escape, so they didn't stop them.
It is true that these slaves should take a good look at it. It is not that they have what they want, and they dare to strike and threaten, so let's see how they "respect" Chang Qiyu, how was he killed by them!
The guards who escorted Chang Qiyu were ordered by the emperor, and when they saw the slaves gathered, they shouted fiercely.
"Listen to all the slaves! Because of your strike, Your Majesty has ordered Chang Qiyu to be demoted to a commoner!
The harder you make trouble, the faster he will die!
Those who know each other immediately start to work, otherwise, after Your Majesty has cleaned up Chang Qiyu, it will be your turn next! "
They shouted fiercely, but no one paid him any attention.
All the slaves stared at Chang Qiyu faintly, not knowing what they were thinking.
Gradually, more and more slaves watched. They were all ragged and skinny, including adults, old people, and children.
They huddled together like a mime, watching Chang Qiyu come and watching him leave as he was detained.
…
The sky was a little gloomy, and Chang Qiyu, who had finished swimming in the street, was tied to the gate of the palace.
Countless slaves were brought to watch by the slave owners. The emperor was very satisfied with the situation, so in front of them, he beat Chang Qiyu fiercely!
And he killed a group of the most violent slaves in public, killing chickens as an example!

In the evening, the twenty-first hour of the slave strike, there was a sudden loud noise outside the city.
When the common people walked out of their homes, they saw the top of the towering Xunwu Mountain outside the West City Gate. It seemed that fire was coming out!
Something golden like fireworks spewed from the inside out, but it was too far away to see clearly.
Half an hour later, the people who went up the mountain to hunt for treasure during the day came back with Jinsha at night!
They were shouting excitedly all the way.
"Gold has emerged from the ground! There is a gold mine on the top of Xunwu Mountain, and it was all exposed when the ground moved before!"
When everyone shouted like this, how could other ordinary people still sit still
However, there are still people who doubt that since there is gold, why did they come back after only a little of it.
People who hold gold are the same saying.
"Because the gap in the hole is very small, only children can enter, but it is full of Baoguang, this is a fortune!"
Their remarks, coupled with the gold and stone covered with mud they held in their hands, made everyone excited and went out of the city with their children.
Zeguo's curfew has been very late, and it is still possible to leave the city at this time, but it may not be possible to come back later.
They ran out in such a swarm, and soon alerted the emperor, as well as the lord and minister.
Their first reaction was to let people come back and not pick them up, because the gold mines discovered in Zeguo must belong to Zeguo, how can ordinary people move
As a result, at this time, a general stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, this might be a good thing!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
The emperor didn't quite believe the general in front of him, because he was on good terms with Chang Qiyu, but he was supported by a big lord behind him, so he had to give some face and listen to his words.
said the general.
"Gold mines are generally very few exposed, and even if all the people go, they can only pick up some gold, stone and sand at most, and it won't take much advantage.
But once most of the people leave the city, the capital will be vacant, so it will be easier for us to capture slaves tomorrow.
Some of the slaves in the province jumped over the wall and took the citizens of Zeguo as hostages. Are you right, Your Majesty? "
When the emperor heard it, it made sense! If most of the people in the capital are gone, it would be better to capture slaves!
He was not afraid of the slaves resisting and hurting people, but he felt that doing so would make arresting people faster and less risky.
So the emperor smiled and asked with relief, "Then how do you think this situation should be handled?"
The general suggested, "More people should be encouraged to leave the city to provide more convenience for tomorrow's actions."
The emperor pondered for a moment, and then agreed, "Okay, I'll leave this to you, hurry up!"
"Yes." The general took the order and went out quickly. While going out, he could still hear the people behind him discussing how to catch slaves, how to feed medicine, and how to send them away.
He sighed unconsciously.
Your Majesty, this is the only thing your subordinates can help you with. Your Majesty and the others have gone crazy. What happens to the capital tomorrow is up to you!
Soon, more people ran to the capital, saying that they had found Jinsha.
Looking at the real gold, most people couldn't sit still. Even those who were not poor in the upper block sent their servants to go up the mountain to pan for gold. For a time, the capital was quite empty.
…
After hearing such news, Chang Qiyin sneered and asked the shadow behind him.
"Did any slaves also go to Mount Xunwu?"
