Chapter 1658 City of Chaos
There are a total of 113 companies on the list.
On this snowy night, countless heads were killed and rivers of blood flowed!
Bai Tan also chose the most labor-saving method:
Every time he slaughtered an official or noble in front of him, he would order his men to dig out the grain in the cellar and distribute it to the refugees behind him.
No matter how food-scarce Tianshui City was, the granaries of these wealthy households were at least 70% full, and every time one was opened, there were cheers.
It's so joyful to dig out a rat hole in a famine year.
The refugees, who were starving, were given food and were all smiling. They volunteered to be the first to go to the next wealthy family, hoping to get the first bite of the soup, more food and more money.
This is an opportunity that only comes once in two hundred years and is worth cherishing.
Their gratitude to Bai Tan reached its peak. Bai Tan didn't even need to raise his arms and shout, the group of refugees behind him became larger and larger. In the end, there were more than 28,000 people, and it looked like a dark mass everywhere.
There were not only refugees in the team, but also many civilians who were involved in looting, smashing and burning.
The nobles who were usually high and mighty, the gentlemen who looked at them with disgust, turned out to be able to withstand the beatings, and they screamed even more miserably than ordinary people when they were beaten! Seeing them lying on the ground, curled up like dead dogs, the pupils of the common people and refugees were dilated, their faces flushed, and they rushed over with howling cries.
What to rob and how much to rob are secondary. The opportunity to beat up a noble lord does not come every day.
Beat him to death, kick him to death!
Break their hands, break their legs, burn their mouths, make them kneel, kneel well!
Listen to their screams, listen to their wails, listen to their pleas, listen to their cries!
What goes around comes around, and it’s finally our turn to be the boss!
Great, Emma, so great!
If the stick breaks, just change another one and keep going; if you are so tired that you are foaming at the mouth, grab a bottle of wine to boost your energy, then get up and keep going!
On a cold, snowy night, the city of Tianshui was filled with raging fires, lighting up half the sky red.
It is said in the physiognomy book that fire represents prosperity. Only when it is prosperous can it be thriving!
At this time, Bai Tan personally led the army and sincerely "visited" several military officers.
In Tianshui City's defense system, these generals occupy key positions and have power and authority under their command, such as the gatekeepers of Tianshui City's eight gates and the supervisors of the city patrol teams.
Before the coup, Bai Tan was the Minister of Justice, the superior of their superiors. Since they were in the same system, it was easy for them to speak openly.
The military officers were also confused and at a loss when they first learned that the country had changed and the court was in chaos. The object of their loyalty suddenly disappeared, and the unit that paid their salary suddenly disbanded. When the old leader, General Bai, stretched out his thigh, naturally someone came to hug him.
Even though some military officers were unwilling to surrender, Bai Tan was followed by more than 20,000 people, staring at them with hungry wolves' eyes, making it clear that they would die if they did not listen to their advice.
Under this pressure, most military officers complied.
There were also a few who were ignorant of the current situation and stubbornly pointed at Bai Tan's nose, cursing him as a traitor who had stolen his country and forgotten his ancestors.
Bai Tan particularly admired their loyalty and courage, so he surrounded and annihilated them, and then killed their entire family.
To serve as a warning to others.
There were also several military officers who, while leading troops to suppress a refugee riot, suddenly received the bad news of a national uprising. After everyone discussed it, they decided that they could not stay there for long, so they simply took their trusted subordinates and rushed out of Tianshui City during the chaos.
Upon hearing the news, Bai Tan did not chase after him. The short period of vacuum after King Yao's death was too precious. He had to seize the time and take over the entire Tianshui City!
Because he knew very well that new challenges would soon follow.
That night, the sky of Yao Kingdom collapsed.
……
The next evening, Bai Ziqi returned to Tianshui City.
He sensed something was wrong on his way back because he met groups of fleeing Tianshui people on the road.
Then he understood that Qingyang and the gods had launched a coup in advance.
At present, Tianshui City is still under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Of course, the Cloud Envoy of the Heavenly Palace has special privileges.
As soon as Bai Ziqi entered the city, he felt the tension as if everyone was an enemy. Although the market was open, there were very few pedestrians on the street and most civilians did not dare to go out.
Bai Tan's reorganized city patrol troops have begun patrolling the streets and arresting suspicious persons.
Bai Ziqi walked through seven or eight streets on his way to the temple. He didn't know how many pairs of eyes were peeking through the cracks in the doors, so he had to be very cautious.
Passing by several mansions, the gates were once closed and the courtyards were deep, but now the gates were open and anyone could enter. The stone steps were stained with blood. Bai Ziqi took a few glances inside. The gardens that were once carefully trimmed were trampled and the countless bloody footprints on the ground had long turned into black stains.
He also saw a pair of legs sticking out from behind the screen. The pants were dirty, but the fabric was delicate, and the embroidered shoes on the feet were decorated with a small pink ball.
When you move your legs, the ball moves with you.
There are still people alive in the courtyard? No.
He took one more step and found two wild dogs behind the screen wall, eating a young girl.
Every time they took a bite, the corpse moved.
The girl's face was toward the door, her eyes wide open, facing him.
Bai Ziqi couldn't help but sigh: "These Yao people are really decisive and ruthless."
He knew that Bai Tan had resorted to thunderous tactics in an attempt to shock the entire city.
Scenes like this can be seen everywhere in the future.
Less than a day had passed since the Yao Kingdom coup, and there were still a large number of dead bodies on the streets and in the houses. The smell of blood in the air was so strong that it made people want to vomit.
Even the white snow could not cover the bloodstains on the ground.
Bai Ziqi first went to pay homage to the god Miaozhan.
Don’t be fooled by the deserted other places; the temples, big and small, are packed with people and the incense is burning.
When something unexpected happens, people panic and have no choice but to come to the temple to seek comfort and peace of mind.
Then, Bai Ziqi left the city and went to Youhu Cottage.
He took a shortcut along the water's edge, passed by several rows of low houses, and heard the sound of a man and a woman arguing inside, as if it was a couple.
The husband said, "Do we have to go to the temple? Can't we go two days later? People outside are killing people all the time. It's very dangerous!"
"You are such a blockhead! The temple is the safest place in Tianshui City right now. Lord Dianke and his family have all taken refuge in the temple!" The wife retorted, "I heard that if the nobles in the city don't want to lose their heads, they go to the temple to seek refuge. The place they all go to must be safe!"
She added, "We can still find a place to stay if we rush to the temple now. If we go too late and others realize it, the temple will be packed and you will be driven back to the street even if you climb over the wall!"
The husband hesitated: "Do you really want to go? I heard that the refugee riots are over and they have all been driven back to their homes. If we leave, all the belongings in the house will be stolen."
"It's better to be robbed than to be killed. The Zhu family in the west of the city used to be so prosperous. Did you pass by this morning? There were corpses all over the ground!" The wife was annoyed. "For a middle-class family like ours, no one cares when refugees come to smash and loot. Now is the most dangerous time!"
