Chapter 18 - Second Battle, Citizens\' Mourning Heart

After two days, Song Capital, at the first glimmer of dawn...

You bandits, it\'s nothing if you are plundering Gu Mansion\'s public industries, but this is my Jade Store! My lord will not let you off! Ah, my Yu Ruyi, in the name of this father, don\'t you steal, just don\'t, ah!

A scream pierced through the sky, making the citizens of Song Capital who were sleeping spirited at the same time.

At almost the same time, countless citizens quickly woke up from their dreams.

Daughter-in-law, wasn\'t that the scream of Jade Store\'s proprietor That\'s not Gu Mansion\'s public industry This... a man said with surprise.

Why are you not quickly leaving Last time, you were late and were surpassed by Ergouzi Sun.

This time, if you can\'t bring home a Yu Ruyi, this old lady will fight it out with you! a woman on the bed suddenly screamed.

Bang Bang Bang!

A series of doors opening echoed throughout the city.

The God of Wealth had once again arrived to scatter wealth.

The citizens who didn\'t grab a thing last time turned crazy as they rushed out of their houses without even getting dressed.

A similar scene occurred throughout the Song Capital.

It seemed as though a large number of Gu Mansion\'s secret industries had suddenly emerged in the city, while countless citizens madly charged towards them to wantonly plunder.

Seemingly, such robberies were perfectly justifiable.

In a moment, screams and the sounds of quarrels and punching were mixed with the break of dawn.

At some places, billowing smoke had already started to rise.

------

At the Gu Han mansion...

Godfather, we only have six secret industries in the Song Capital, can it stimulate the citizens of entire Song Capital Gu Han was a bit worried.

Six That\'s enough, people wished for many of this kind of store to exist, so there will be more! Their hearts are astir, just a few stores are enough to arouse the ambitions in their hearts! Gu Hai said while sipping his tea.

------

Outside...

As the sky got brighter, sounds of plundering continued without end.

Once again it was a big harvest.

Some citizens were beaming with smiles, but there were countless citizens that were getting increasingly anxious.

Dammit, I was late again!

This Father could also not rob anything, aren\'t there any more Gu Hai\'s stores

A bit too slow, just a bit, damn!

........................

..................

............

Six stores were far from enough to quench the thirst of the citizens of the entire capital.

Only a small number of citizens could rob, while most of the citizens were anxious, incomparably anxious.

The God of Wealth had come to scatter wealth, but they didn\'t get to loot

Countless citizens didn\'t return to their homes, but wandered around the streets, their eyes continuously swooping around, hoping to find another Gu Hai\'s store.

Bright Gold Store, it is so bright, it would be a lot better if it was Gu Hai\'s property! A citizen furiously gazed at the Gold Shop that had just opened its door.

And also said with jealousy.

However, these words garnered the attraction of everyone.

Gu Hai\'s industry Right, this is definitely Gu Hai\'s industry! Another man who was more anxious than him suddenly shouted.

What Gu Hai\'s industry Damn, finally got you!

This time I\'ll definitely plunder!

Rob it!

........................

..................

...

The citizens in the surroundings seemed to have gone crazy as they charged towards the Bright Gold Store, the crowds on the street had found a target in the blink of an eye.

The complexion of Bright Gold Store\'s proprietor changed.

The Bright Gold Store is a hundred-year-old store, it is impossible for it to be a Gu Hai\'s store! Don\'t rob, you are committing a crime, don\'t you steal, ah! the Gold Store\'s proprietor screamed as he was knocked to the ground.

At this moment, the citizens had gone mad, why would they care about anything All they could think of was charging ahead.

As long as they were first, they could steal, not to mention, everyone was stealing.

Why would they just watch like a fool

Mine, mine, dammit, this is mine, don\'t you rob!

Hahahaha, father is going to be wealthy!

Don\'t you grab what\'s mine, hahaha, finally I have robbed something!.......................................We are a hundred years old shop, this is not Gu Hai\'s industry, don\'t rob, ah!.................................Cries of anger, curses, explosions rang without end.

Not only the Bright Gold Store, a fire seemed to have been kindled throughout the Song Capital.

In the blink of an eye, the entire capital was in chaos.

One by one, all the stores in the entire capital became the targets of robberies by the citizens in the blink of an eye.

Gu Hai\'s industries Were they really There was no need to be sure!

As long as the citizens were furious and someone shouted just one sentence, \'Is this Gu Hai\'s industry\', immediately everyone would turn into a pack of hungry wolves.

Rob, loot, plunder!

The entire Song Capital had gone crazy.

One by one, flames were kindled throughout the capital, no longer were the citizens good and law-abiding; in the blink of an eye, all of them turned into bandits.

Just the stores No! The noblemen and rich were being looted too.

BOOM!

Having smacked down giant doors one after another, citizens, just like an entire lair of bandits out for looting, charged into various mansions of the nobility and the rich.

All the nobles and rich could hear was one sentence and one sentence only before they were looted: \'This is the secret manor of Gu Hai!\'

BANG BANG BANG!

The nobles and the rich were swiftly looted clean.

Of course, only a few noblemen and wealthy were robbed; stores were still the main target of the citizens.

In a moment, all the stores had turned into targets of plunder by the crazed citizens.

It seemed as though the entire Song Capital was Gu Hai\'s property.

ROB, LOOT, PLUNDER!

------

Quickly, the Royal Palace was informed of the state of the Song Capital.

All the officials were immediately summoned and left for the Royal Court.

The Royal Court was in pandemonium, it was all utter chaos.

Magistrate of Song Capital, why is the entire capital in such chaos Where are your men Why are they not doing anything Song King, seated on the Dragon Throne, asked furiously.

An official who was presently kneeling down answered, Your Royal Majesty, it\'s a mess, it\'s a total mess, this old official did indeed go to ask the city guards to control the situation.

However, only a few city guards obeyed, the rest went to plunder!

What Crown Prince Song\'s complexion changed.

My Royal Majesty, most of my city guards are absent and have gone to plunder!

Your Royal Majesty, thirty-six places in the capital are already ravaged by fire!

 ..............................

..................

The congregation of ministers reported anxiously.

As for information gathering, there was no one available, a majority of everyone\'s subordinates had left to plunder.

How could this be How the hell this could happen Crown Prince Song said with an ugly complexion.

We also don\'t know how the things panned out like this.

Two days ago, everything was going all well and good, everything was calm, yet how did the things suddenly go crazy Why did everyone suddenly went crazy!

At this point, all the civil and military ministers were unable to anything.

Their eyes filled with a look of shook.

Gu Hai Maybe this is Gu Hai\'s plot Suddenly, Crown Prince Song screamed in wonder———

Everyone was acting like bandits and this did not stop just at Song Capital, the same scene was being played throughout the Song Kingdom.

Plundering! Chaos!

In the entire Song Kingdom, the citizens were acting like bandits, the citizens had lost morale.

Border City!

Standing atop the barrack, Gao Xianzhi watched the soldiers gathering.

In fact, about half of the soldiers had deserted and went to major stores in the city to plunder.

Gao Xianzhi too felt a chill running down his spine.

Fire was raging through each and every house, smoke, and dust rose up in the air.

Every part of the Border City was just like a purgatory in the human world.

Blood-curdling screams filled with desperation along with the sounds of servants fighting rang to no end.

At this moment, Gao Xianzhi once again felt as though he was looking at Gu Hai, who dressed in armor and a double-edged sword in hand, pointed the sword tip towards the Song Capital.

Whereas, all the citizens of Border City had become the soldiers of Gu Hai.

So long as Gu Hai laid down his command, the citizens of the Border City would kill their way to the Song Capital.

No, no, no, Gu Hai was not just directing the citizens of all the cities in the Song Kingdom, but rather all the citizens residing throughout the Song Kingdom had suddenly become the soldiers under Gu Hao.

And all Gu Hai had to do was issue a command and the citizens would tear apart the Song Kingdom without a moment of hesitation.

Last time, when Gao Xianzhi was at the military camp, he seemed to have seen Gu Hai directing his very own 800,000 soldiers to deal with him.

And this time, Gu Hai seemed to be commanding the citizens of entire Song Kingdom.

Just the 800,000 soldiers had sent a chill down Gao Xianzhi\'s spine, and now, the citizens of entire Song Kingdom, even more so, sent Gao Xianzhi tumbling down an ice cellar.

Gu Hai Only this person alone can destroy six kingdoms! Gao Xianzhi exclaimed in shock—

After three days, everything once again went calm.

The businesses throughout the Song Kingdom had been ravaged.

At this moment, the entire kingdom had fallen into a deathly silence.

The citizens were unable to buy anything, meanwhile, the owners of shops, even more so, were in despair.

At this instance, a group from the Clear River Sect also arrived at the Song Kingdom which was lead by the female hall lord and Grandmaster Liunian, along with Clear River Sect\'s Chief and Song Jia Sect\'s Chief.

As everyone arrived at the Border City, they met Gao Xianzhi.

At present, Gao Xianzhi was respectfully standing before everyone.

The female hall lord who stood upon a high stage of the Border City, overwatched the entire Border City.

The Border City was terribly desolate.

There was almost no one in sight, only one or two pedestrians, and that too occasionally could be seen passing by.

A cold wind gradually swept across the leaves laden streets.

The Border City was no different than a dead city; it was shrouded in a deathly silence.

Hiss! This is just in one month The girl exclaimed with wide-opened eyes.

Grandmaster Liunian\'s eyes flickered with complex emotions.

Everything within the range of thousand li has been laid to waste! This Gu Hai is indeed monstrous.

In a span of just one month, all the citizens are sent into mourning by him! Grandmaster Liunian said with emotions.

The complexion of Song Jia Sect\'s Chief turned extremely horrid, So what if the citizens are mourning, aren\'t the citizens still alive and kicking!

Gao Xianzhi, who stood on the side, bitterly smiled and said, The citizens are indeed alive but their heart is dead.

The citizens don\'t support the Song Kingdom already!

En The Song Jia Sect\'s Chief was puzzled.

Those who had been affected by the disaster hates the Song Kingdom for sure, for they have lost everything, whereas those who plundered the properties of others indeed know that many of the properties they had plundered don\'t belong to Gu Hai and now, they are nothing be robbers.

And although the law may not punish them, how could you expect the robbers to show patriotism How can the robbers shed blood and lay down their lives for the country How could the robbers go to war It\'s not that they aren\'t loyal to Song Kingdom.

To be precise, would anyone would willingly go and fight to the death with such property at hand Whereas those who had not been robbed or had not committed any robbery, even more so, are in bigger despair.

In their opinion, the Song Kingdom is unjust, so why should they help the Song Kingdom in war Said Gao Xianzhi bitterly.

So to say, the patriotism of Song Kingdom\'s citizens is laid to waste The Clear River Sect\'s Chief said in happiness.

Although I don\'t want to admit it, it is indeed true.

The soldiers at the barracks simply had no intention to go to war! Until and unless the things are returned to the way they were; all the confusion is cleared and everything is set right.

However, it is easier said than done! Gu Hai is still eyeing! Gao Xianzhi said in anguish.

Hahahaha! The Clear River Sect\'s Chief burst into a jubilant laughter.

Making citizens act as bandits and lost their morale! This move of Gu Hai is truly ruthless! Grandmaster Liunian said with emotions.

Isn\'t there any other way to rectify this Song Jia Sect\'s chief said as an ugly complexion covered his entire face.

I\'m afraid this is not the worst.

If the Chen Kingdom sent troops at this moment, our Song Kingdom\'s cities would be no different than paper walls; they would simply unable to resist.

At least no one will be able to block them in a short period of time! Gao Xianzhi said in anguish.

Clear River Sect\'s chief looked slightly surprised as he said, Ah, five days ago, Chen Tianshan passed me a message that Gu Hai had ordered the Chen King to send 15,000 troops to the Song Kingdom.

At that time, I did not take it seriously.

It was just 15,000 troops, that\'s all.

How would they be able to breach through the Song Kingdom\'s border.

Now that you say it...

A bitter smile appeared on Gao Xianzhi\'s face as he said, Gu Hai planned very carefully and took every conceivable possibility into account.

He had planned each and every step.

15,000 soldiers who should be filled with hatred will pave a way with bloodshed, and all they would be up against is the Song Kingdom with a paper-wall defense.

Alas, I am not good as Gu Hai!

Song King, that fool, how is he ruling the country A begrudging look covered the face of Song Jia Sect\'s chief.

Gu Hai should be at the Song Capital, yeah The female hall lord\'s eyes flickered with excitement.

I guess so! Gao Xianzhi smiled forcefully.

Let\'s go, let\'s go to the Song Capital! The female hall lord said without an ounce of hesitation—

Song Captial.

At this moment, the Song Capital too was incomparably desolate.

The entire royal capital was shrouded in a deathly silence.

At Gu Han Mansion.

Gu Hai, who was drinking tea, listened to Gu Han as he described the situation of the outside world.

Godfather, the first phase, Soldiers\' Mourning Heart and the second phase, Citizens\' Mourning Heart of the Song\'s Destruction Plan is finished! Gu Han\'s voice was filled with excitement.

Over this one month, having witnessed and experienced everything from the start, Gu Han\'s heart had long been surging.

For many years, he had not seen his godfather play so much.

Taking a light sip from the cup, Gu Hai narrowed his eyes as he said, Chen Kingdom\'s army is already proceeding towards the Song Kingdom, now soldiers and citizens have lost morale, we are now going to start the third phase, Ministers\' Mourning Heart!

Ministers\' heart Gu Han\'s eyes lit up.

Right, who is still supporting the Song Kingdom The Song Kingdom had already lost popular support, all that\'s left is the support of some ministers and aristocrats.

What if these ministers and aristocrats also lost their morale A sliver of cold smile appeared on Gu Hai\'s lips.

Aristocats and the ministers should not easily abdicate their support to the Song Kingdom in order to keep their high positions! Gu Han said with a frown.

No, making ministers lose the morale is easier and would take shorter period of time! Gu Hai\'s face revealed a sliver of confident smile as he said.

Chapter 19 - Third Phase, Ministers\' Mourning Hearts

Song Capital, the entrance to the royal palace...

One by one, haggard-looking citizens knelt down and burst into sad cries.

I beg Your Royal Majesty to take responsibility and return to the righteous path.

Please arrest the bandits and return my property!

Your Royal Majesty, we common people have paid a lot of taxes every year, and now our family properties have been robbed.

I beg Your Royal Majesty to take responsibility!

Your Royal Majesty, Imperial Tutor Pan instigated his servants to plunder my properties, I earnestly request Your Royal Majesty to uphold the law and punish Imperial Tutor Pang!

Your Royal Majesty, we common people have the evidence that Imperial Tutor Pang\'s servant looted my property, his servants are robbers.

I beg Your Royal Majesty to punish these bandits!

At this time, all the merchants of the Song Captial holding written complaints in their hand knelt down before the entrance of the royal palace and cried out; awaiting the Song King\'s declaration to take a stand.

------

Meanwhile, in an attic not too far away from the entrance...

Gu Hai\'s and Gu Han\'s eyes flashed coldly as they watched the congregation of merchants bringing their accusations before the Song King.

Godfather, the ones in the front are our people! Gu Han said, pointing into the distance.

Gu Hai nodded his head, Let\'s wait and watch! Next, many more people will come and bring accusations before the Song King, and it will not just stop at Song Capital.

Even the rich traders from throughout the Song Kingdom would arrive and bring accusations.

Royal Tutor Pang deserved to be punished, he is basically a greedy pig! Over these days, he commanded his servants and subordinates to even rob the shops.

He thinks he could fish in troubled waters Ha, we have been long prepared and recorded everything! Gu Han said with a smile on his face.

Royal Tutor Pang I had never expected for that shriveled old man to be so greedy! exclaimed Gu Hai.

It doesn\'t matter if he is greedy; I can\'t agree with the fact that this dirty old man at his age would continuously ravage young girls.

Almost every three days, a young girl would fall prey to him.

In the eyes of these rotten aristocrats, perhaps it is fun; but in my eyes, these motherf*ckers are damn nauseating, they don\'t know a bit of shame.

From what I have heard, a dozen or so young girls had been killed by this old man! He has committed grave sins! Gu Han\'s voice was filled with hatred.

Serves him right! Gu Hai sneered.

Godfather, will the Song King truly behead Royal Tutor Pang After all, he is the Song King\'s teacher! Gu Han said with a bit of worry.

Ah, teacher Song King even dared to behead his very own grandson for a crime, can a minister be spared Gu Hai\'s face flashed with a cold smile as he replied.

En! With a frown on his glabella, Gu Han repeatedly nodded.

Presumably, the Chen army crossing the border must have been relayed to the royal court!

It should have, I saw a messenger anxiously rushing into the royal palace! Gu Han nodded.

So, the news of a landslide defeat from the frontlines must have been relayed as well.

All the cities simply don\'t have anyone to oppose the Chen Army.

The Chen army will meet with no resistance, just like entering an unpeopled land.

The Song Kingdom\'s citizens and soldiers simply have no intention to serve the country.

Will the Song King remain fearless At this moment, he should be dreading! Gu Hai said with a laugh.

If it was me, I sure as hell would be panicking.

The Song Kingdom seems to have collapsed, their unity is only maintained on the surface; the Song Kingdom is facing a crisis! Gu Han said anxiously.

That\'s right, the Song Kingdom is facing a crisis.

The citizens are mourning; the Song Kingdom is beyond all hope! At present, the Song Kingdom is just like a sick adult encountering a child with a knife in his hand who has come to kill him.

Although the adult is formidable, at present he is sick and unable to move.

All he can do is wait to be slaughtered by the child.

If given time to recuperate, the adult could restore some energy, but at present he simply doesn\'t have any time! said Gu Hai, taking a sip from his tea.

What the Song Kingdom lacks the most is time.

The Chen Army is pressing at the borders, and with their current speed, they should arrive at the Song Capital very soon.

The Song Kingdom will be surely destroyed! Gu Han said thoughtfully.

Therefore, at this moment, the adult can only hope to cure a part of his body as soon as possible, so that he could at least stop the child! Gu Hai said with a smile.

Cure What can he cure At present, the citizens who had taken ahold of the opportunity are simply averse to the Song Kingdom; even if they have the money, they cherish their lives even more.

As for the citizens who had suffered losses, they simply hate and resent the Song Kingdom.

How could they still save the Song Kingdom Gu Han said as a frown crept across his face.

At this moment, the Song Kingdom is divided into two: the ones who have suffered.

and the ones who have taken advantage.

Both sides are unwilling to fight for the country.

The Song King can only choose one side and appease them.

But how can he appease the ones who have taken advantage Gu Hai seemed to be instructing Gu Han.

Letting them block the Chen Army in exchange for a pardon The look on Gu Han\'s face flickered with understanding.

Is that possible asked Gu Hai again.

Well, it seems impossible.

If they are pardoned for their crimes, those who have suffered losses would rebel immediately, and the Song Kingdom would further plunge into chaos.

Plundering and killing will continue; perhaps even without the Chen Army, the Song Kingdom would collapse on its own! Furthermore, the people who have taken advantage would not necessarily join the army.

They have taken advantage of the situation, they have already lost their patriotism in their heart.

As long as they remain safe, they can enjoy their new wealth; it doesn\'t matter whether they are residing in Chen or Song! Gu Han said thoughtfully.

Since it\'s impossible to appease the citizens who have taken advantage, then he can only appease the citizens who have suffered! Gu Hai\'s eyes flashed with a confident gleam.

Appease those who have suffered The merchants who are kneeling before the royal palace Those who have either not robbed or those who had been robbed by citizens Gu Han turned his gaze towards the square.

Right, but how should he appease them Should he help them get their property back Gu Hai said with a smile.

That\'s absolutely impossible.

Their belongings have been stolen and already hidden by the robbers, how can it be possible to make them spit out such a fat piece of meat If the Song King prosecuted them forcefully, it would certainly result in even more chaos.

The citizens who have taken advantage would certainly resist, the situation would get far worse! Gu Han\'s said as his expression changed.

So how should it be done Gu Hai said in an instructing tone.

Investigate the root cause and find the guilty person accountable! The look on Gu Han\'s face flickered.

How should it be done Gu Hai burst into a laugh.

By killing the guilty to incite the citizens\' morale, vent their anger! Gu Han looked excited.

Who should be killed

As long as it could vent their anger, Song King can kill anybody, no matter who! Even the Crown Prince could be killed! Gu Han said as his eyes flickered with excitement.

Therefore, the third phase is the most simple.

Everything is already set in motion, and it can not be reversed.

All we have to do is push the boat ahead and it will accelerate on its own! said Gu Hai with a smile on his lips.

Yes, I completely understand! That Royal Tutor Pang will face judgment! Gu Han\'s eyes lit up bright as he said.

Gu Han nodded.

------

The royal court in the Song Capital...

The Chen Army has already reached my Song Kingdom.

The Border City could only hold them off for just one day before getting defeated What about Gao Xianzhi Crown Prince Song shouted in anger and anxiety.

The Song King, seated on the dragon throne, had a constantly changing look on his face.

The ministers were also getting restless.

The Song Crown Prince was shouting at the bunch of messengers angrily.

Ran away, everyone ran away.

The army of Commander Gao was also in a mess, they were simply unable to block the Chen.

Everyone just ran away, no one resisted.

Some meddlesome citizens even opened the city gates, allowing the Chen Army to enter with little to no resistance! a messenger said in anguish.

The citizens are mourning The Chen Army has arrived, it\'s one disaster after another, huh The face of the leader of the left row, Liu Chengxiang, was laced with an ugly look.

What do we do The citizens and the soldiers are simply unwilling to go to war.

Are they disappointed with my Song Kingdom This Gu Hai is truly terrifying!

The root cause of this is the previous decision.

When the Gu Song Silver House was being robbed, it should not have been encouraged! Had it not been for that, this would not have come to pass!

That\'s right, if we had not opened the gateway, we would not have lost the popular support!

At this time, the congregation of ministers kept on complaining.

A sliver of anguish appeared on Crown Prince Song\'s face as he turned his head and said, Royal Father, This Child and Subject is guilty! At that time, my heart was filled with hatred for Gu Hai and came to believe in Merchant Tian Han\'s fallacy.

Later, This Child and Subject also came to regret, but when I went looking for Tian Han, he had run away.

The Tian Mansion was also empty!

Tian Han Tian Han Tian Han Damn! Liu Chengxiang\'s complexion looked even worse.

En Everyone turned their gaze towards Liu Chengxiang.

Your Royal Majesty, This Subject knows who Tian Han is! The Tian(田) character in Tian Han(田漢) consists of Shi(十) and Kou(口) characters overlapping each other, and Gu(古) character similarly consists of Shi(十) and Kou(口) characters overlapping each other.

It\'s just that former consists of \'Shi(十) inside Kou(口)\', while the latter consists of \'Shi(十) above Kou(口)\'! The look of Liu Chengxiang\'s face changed again.

Tian Han(田漢) Gu Han(古漢) Gu Hai\'s second adopted son The congregation of ministers repeated with a crazed look on their faces.

Plop! Crown Prince Song looked worse as he limply slumped down on the ground.

From the get-go, he had already guessed that Tian Han was Gu Hai\'s person, but how could he have ever expected for him to actually be the adopted son of Gu Hai How could he have ever expected him to hide in plain sight right next to him

Gu Hai! The Song King\'s countenance looked extremely ugly.

Your Royal Majesty, for the moment, we have to appease the resentment of one side so that they will go and block the Chen Army! Liu Chengxiang said in an agonized tone.

Prime Minister, tell me, how should we appease them So long as we appease their resentment, we can encourage the citizens to block the Chen Army.

We have to respond! Song King anxiously looked at Liu Chengxiang.

After remaining silent for a while, Liu Chengxiang painfully said, Your Royal Majesty, at present, it is absolutely impossible for us to return the stolen property, and we don\'t have enough time, the Chen Army is constantly moving forward.

Even if we used our entire national treasury to compensate, it would still be impossible to plug the gap.

It is too difficult to dispel the popular anger!

I also don\'t want to clarify the issue with the citizens.

As long as we can win back the popular support, as long as the citizens are willing to resist the Chen Army, I\'m ready to meet all of their requirements, Song King said anxiously.

In order to dispel popular anger, resentment, and disappointment, we need to eliminate the principal culprit.

Beheading the principal criminal will boost the citizens\' morale.

Only this can make the citizens trust our Great Song! Liu Chengxiang said in a solemn tone.

Principal culprit The main culprits are Gu Hai and Gu Han! Song King knitted his eyebrows.

Yes, but we can\'t find them, then how to behead the culprit

Yes, but if we can\'t find them, then how to behead the culprits Then, we would have to find the one who was responsible for the citizens acting like bandits! Or whoever angered the citizens! Or anyone who has been demanded by the public! Liu Chengxiang said in a solemn tone.

En The Royal Court, in the blink of an eye, was filled with a strange fury.

Liu Chengxiang, do you want to kill me Crown Prince Song\'s complexion suddenly changed.

Liu Chengxiang, what do you mean Royal Tutor Pang also had his complexion change.

Liu Chengxiang replied in a slightly bitter and astringent tone, Your Royal Highness, for the continuation of the Song Kingdom, we can\'t just punish anyone; otherwise, it would bring forth more trouble.

At that time, it was Your Royal Highness who proposed letting citizens rob Gu Hai\'s properties, and Royal Tutor Pang, it was you who supported this proposal first.

I believed that you were acting in the best interest of Song Kingdom, but how could I have ever expected you, Royal Tutor to be acting to serve your own self-interest When the citizens were instigated to act as robbers, wasn\'t it you, Royal Tutor, who was the biggest winner You sent your slaves and subordinates to rob, and at the same time, you were the first to map out strategies, making your slaves and subordinates quickly spread throughout the city, and you made your disciples and old followers immediately start robbing.

You, Royal Tutor Pang, have robbed the most and credited the most to the chaos of Song Kingdom today.

You can hardly absolve yourself from blame!

Wow! The royal court was suddenly sent into an uproar.

Liu Chengxiang wanted to fight with Royal Tutor Pang

Liu Chengxiang, you bastard, had it not for me guiding you, do you think you would be ever here How could you have ever stepped foot in the royal court Royal Tutor Pang shouted in anger.

Who else can be as greedy as you.

Do you know, whose name the victims are shouting just outside the royal palace at this moment All of them have all the crimes committed by Royal Tutor Pang listed on sheets of paper.

You could not be clearer than anyone of the crimes you have committed.

The citizens want you dead; only by beheading you can we dispel the popular anger.

Royal Tutor Pang, please sacrifice yourself for the Great Song! Liu Chengxiang suddenly bent down towards Royal Tutor Pang.

We earnestly request Royal Tutor Pang to sacrifice for the nation! a group of ministers humbly bent down and requested in loud voices.

You...you...bastards! An ugly look covered Royal Tutor Pang\'s face as he pointed at everyone.

The Song King felt his eyes twitch.

At this moment, watching Royal Tutor Pang, he didn\'t know how to express his feelings.

Your Royal Majesty, Your Subject indeed instigated his retainers, but it was not just This Subject alone, all the civil and military officers at the court had a hand in this.

Everything is Gu Hai\'s plot! Royal Tutor Pang shouted at the top of his voice.

Royal Tutor Pang, the citizens want you dead.

If you remain alive, my Song Kingdom will not continue to exist.

For the Great Song, I earnestly beseech Royal Tutor Pang to sacrifice for the nation! Liu Chengxiang bent even more down as he said.

We earnestly beg Royal Tutor Pang to sacrifice for the nation! All the ministers, begged in high-pitched voices as they bent down their bodies towards Royal Tutor Pang.

You...you...! Royal Tutor Pang\'s face flashed with fright as he looked towards all the ministers.

In the past, these very ministers supported him, as long as he issued an order, everyone would say This Subject supports this notion!.

Many among these ministers were his disciples and old followers; but at this time, all of them were asking him to die

Royal Tutor Pang was suddenly swept up into a trance.

In his trance, he saw, Gu Hai, dressed in armor and with a double-edged long sword in his hand pointed at him, standing above the royal court.

With an order of Gu Hai, all of the ministers became Gu Hai\'s subordinates, awaiting Gu Hai\'s order to compel him to die.

In the blink of an eye, goosebumps burst all over Royal Tutor Pang\'s body.

Song King stood up and walked down from the dragon throne, stopping before Royal Tutor Pang.

Suddenly, he bent down towards Royal Tutor Pang and said, Royal Tutor, the nation is facing a crisis, I earnestly beg Royal Tutor to sacrifice for the country!

Having heard this, Royal Tutor Pang was hit with a chill.

This Gu Hai not only had all the ministers wrapped around his finger, even His Royal Majesty was at his command; commanding Song King to compel him to death Forcing him to die

Royal Tutor Pang staggered a bit before he suddenly burst into a hopeless laughter, Hahahaha, hahaha!

This Subject has served three generations of the Song Kings.

For the Great Song, I have worked hard for seventy years, experienced many ups and does, resolved many problems.

For the Great Song, I have spared no effort, but after all this...! Royal Tutor Pang said in a bitter and astringent tone.

Royal Tutor! Song King\'s face was laced with pain and bitterness.

Your Royal Majesty, This Subject doesn\'t blame you.

If I have to blame someone, then it should be Gu Hai, he is truly terrifying.

This Subject\'s days are already numbered, I am not going to live for long.

I hope that my sacrifice may bring good luck to the Great Song! Royal Tutor Pang said in an agonized tone as he took off his official headwear.

Royal Tutor is too noble! All the ministers saluted Royal Tutor Pang.

------

The next day...

At the Song Capital, under the gaze of thousands of citizens, the crimes of the Royal Tutor were listed one by one before he was bound at the market entrance.

In no time, all the residents of Song Capital arrived.

And having watched the \'chief culprit\', the morale that the citizens had lost suddenly showed signs of returning.

This is but Royal Tutor Pang!

Serves him right!

All this was due to Royal Tutor Pang, he made me bankrupt!

I heard His Royal Majesty has ordered an investigation of Royal Tutor Pang\'s house.

All the stolen belongings will be returned to their owners!

Awesome, long live His Royal Majesty!

-------

As Royal Tutor Pang knelt down on the scaffold, a faint but hideous look appeared on his face.

Gu Hai, my son will surely avenge me!

Cut!

Puff! A stream of blood shot through the air.

Royal Tutor Pang, the current generation\'s Royal Tutor; someone who had only one person above him, the King; a man who was above the masses; a person who had disciples and followers throughout the world; a minister who had a monstrous level of influence, had been beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market just to appease the populace.

In a short time, the Song Capital slowly recovered a bit of its energy.

The populace\'s anger and hatred were also dispelled to a great extent.

Gu Hai and Gu Han, who stood at the rear of the crowd, instead took in long, deep breaths.

Alright, now that Royal Tutor Pang is dead, let\'s begin.

This phase is about to come to an end! Gu Hai said with a trace of excitement.

 Yes! Gu Han was also excited.

------

The news of Royal Tutor Pang being beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market quickly spread throughout the Song Kingdom.

The Dukes of each and every city received this shocking information!

Royal Tutor Pang had instigated his servants to rob the belongings of the citizens, and as such, he was beheaded in accordance with the laws of the nation!

------

At the main hall of the ducal mansion of Song Kingdom\'s Rong City...

Looking at the news from the Song Capital, Duke Rong was dumbfounded.

How is this possible How could they behead Royal Tutor Pang Didn\'t he just steal the property of citizens He is the Royal Tutor! Duke Rong\'s complexion became incomparably horrid.

My Lord, we also...! a steward said worriedly.

What are you afraid you No one knows, anyway.

Royal Tutor Pang did in excess and was caught by the citizens, that\'s why he was beheaded.

We, on the other hand, did secretly, no need to worry! Duke Rong\'s eyebrows twitched as he said.

My Lord, it\'s bad, it\'s really bad! A retainer rushed into the main hall.

What\'s going on Duke Rong glared.

The retainer immediately handed a sheet to him and said, My Lord, it\'s bad.

We don\'t who handed these out, but they are now spread throughout the Rong City, Your Servant somehow brought back one!

Snatching up the sheet, Duke Rong carefully read it.

As he read, Duke Rong\'s entire body broke into a cold sweat.

How is this possible This has all the stolen stuff that I took listed on it! From whom I stole, what I stole, who I sent to steal, everything is meticulously recorded in it! Even I don\'t remember everything clearly, how is it possible that everything was recorded in such minute detail Isn\'t this clear evidence Duke Rong shouted in shock.

I don\'t know, I don\'t know who is spreading this! the retainer shook his head.

Is it Gu Hai Maybe he had long been prepared and was watching everyone we sent the steward asked worriedly.

My Lord, I heard that many people have left the city and are taking the evidence to the royal capital to present it before His Royal Majesty! said the retainer.

What Present it before His Royal Majesty Duke Rong staggered in shock.

In the face of hard evidence, even a nobleman like Royal Tutor Pang was beheaded at the entrance of to the market.

How could he be any bigger than Royal Tutor Pang

My Lord, what do we do The Chen army is also about to arrive! the steward said in a worrisome tone.

Duke Rong\'s expression was laced with uncertainty.

Song Kingdom It is no longer meaningful to stay in the Song Kingdom.

Notify all the officials to come, we-we will surrender to the Chen Kingdom.

We will take Rong City and beg to surrender to the Chen Kingdom! Duke Rong said in a firm and determined tone.

Ah The two were taken by surprise.

------

Leading the army, Chen Lianyi slowly marched towards the royal capital of Song Kingdom.

At the beginning, they encountered a bit of resistance, but later on, a strange scene took place.

When Chen Lianyi arrived, the city gates far away from them opened.

Meanwhile, the city officials very graciously welcomed them.

Not long after, they broke into tears as they cried their thoughts out.

The tone revealed endless hatred towards the Song Kingdom and endless love towards the Chen Kingdom.

A scene, where listeners broke into tears, observers were broken-hearted, as the city official cried and wailed before prostrating before Chen Lianyi; giving off the impression that if Chen Lianyi didn\'t receive them under him, they would cut their throats on the spot.

What\'s going on

Chen Lianyi was dumbfounded.

At the beginning, when Gu Qin asked him to take troops to the Song Kingdom, he was a bit worried.

However, after having entered the Song Kingdom and seeing and hearing everything, Chen Lianyi\'s common sense was completely subverted.

At present, Chen Tianshan was also dazed.

Is this really the Song Kingdom Chen Tianshan asked in a bewildered tone.

At the beginning, when they were taking back control of regions lost by the Chen Kingdom, everything was not so exaggerated.

However, after a long while, even before they attacked the cities of Song Kingdom, one by one, the Dukes of the cities would rush out and hand over their rights.

Are we dreaming

Chen Lianyi and Chen Tianshan were muddle-headed.

Dumbfoundedly, they subdued a large part of Song Kingdom.

How could it even be called subduing, it was simply taking everything for free.

Even taking it for free would not be so fast.

This was just like receiving a gift, and the opposite party swarmed over to forcibly present it to them.

Chen Lianyi\'s entire conception of the world had been turned upside down.

En route, no matter whether it was the citizens, officials, or the soldiers, no one rejected them.

What had happened to the Song Kingdom

The Chen army slowly marched towards the Song Capital.

At the Song Capital, when Song King heard all this information, he could hardly wait to bash his head to death against the wall.

He had made the wrong move by imprisoning Crown Prince and beheading Royal Tutor Pang.

At present, the Song Kingdom was quickly walking towards its destruction.

Unbeknownst to the Song King, the ministers at the Song Capital were also panicking.

Because each minister had received an anonymous paper, written upon which was how they had ordered their retainers to snatch the fortunes of the citizens, and it was even more detailed than the evidence for Royal Tutor Pang.

Each and every piece of evidence sent almost all the ministers into despair.

Even Royal Tutor Pang was beheaded.

What about them

Each piece of evidence was like a huge mountain pressing the heart of every minister.

The entire group of ministers was in chaos.

Every one of them quickly went to the other ministers\' houses to discuss this.

Outside the royal palace, more citizens slowly arrived and knelt down.

Each of them was coming from various cities of Song Kingdom.

At present, countless citizens were begging the Song King to take responsibility, and their numbers kept on growing.

Whereas the Song King, who was sitting alone at the royal court, was at loss as to what to do.

Tap-tap-tap!

At this moment, Liu Chengxiang, along with a large number of courtiers, walked into the royal court.

Liu Chengxian, why have you come has the current situation improved I heard that the Chen army will reach here in less than five days.

Have they arrived! Song King powerlessly said.

The congregation of courtiers glanced at each other.

Your Royal Majesty, I\'m sorry to offend you! Liu Chengxian said.

En Song King\'s complexion changed.

Come, take Your Royal Majesty down, open the city gates, welcome the Chen King to the city! Liu Chengxiang ordered.

What are you doing What are you doing Song King\'s complexion worsened.

Your Royal Majesty, I am also helpless.

We can\'t fight Gu Hai.

We\'re also forced to do this.

We beg Your Royal Majesty to cooperate! Liu Chengxiang said in a bitter and astringent tone.

We beg Your Royal Majesty to cooperate! the group of ministers humbly begged.

You-you-you still act like courtiers I am the King, I am the King of Great Song, how dare you! Song King glared at them.

Your Royal Majesty is ignorant and caused our hearts to mourn.

The trend is set, Your Royal Majesty, your guards are already under our control, any more struggle would be in vain! Liu Chengxiang said in anguish.

The ministers\' hearts were already mourning! Ministers\' mourning hearts!
