Brothers, don’t be fooled by the dog officer! He’s deceiving us! Is there a word of truth in the mouths of these officials? These officials are used to telling lies to people and ghosts. He can say that Squire Huang fell off his horse and had nothing to do with us, but when he’s safe, he’ll change his mind and say that we killed him, that we killed the officials and rebelled, and that we deserve to die. ……At that time, we will be screaming for our lives and dying without a burial place!”
While Zhu Pingan was commanding his meat shield relatives to collect Servant Huang’s remains, someone in the group of chaotic soldiers suddenly let out a shout.
“That’s right, brothers, none of these dog officials are trustworthy! At first, the dog officer summoned us into the Zhenwu Battalion to join the army, said how good ah, promised us a stone for those who have wives, and a reduction of four-tenths for those who do not have wives. Spring and autumn two months, each stone discount silver half a taels. But later, first played to reduce the discount colour silver to zero point four two, then played to stop our wives food, and then it, simply even our pay arrears, so far has not been paid, they are riding on our necks shit and piss ah, step by step we will be a monkey! Brothers, use your brains to think about it. Is there a single word of truth in the words of these dog officials? Can we trust the promises of these dog officials?”
“That’s right brothers, the dog official has one thing in front of people and another thing behind them, he can speak blindly with his eyes open this time, and he can change his words later! This is a stopgap measure that the dog official is forced to use. Now if we do not seize the opportunity, in the future, not to mention the folded silver, wife food, soldiers’ pay, later even life ah.”
“Brothers, the dog official’s words are not to be trusted. Otherwise, you won’t even have a place to cry later.”
“Brothers, there is nothing trustworthy about the dog officials, they are all goods who are not trustworthy and go back on their words!”
After the first person raised his voice, people from different directions in the group of chaotic soldiers shouted in agreement one after another, doing their best to discredit Zhu Pingan.
Under the compulsion of these people, the chaotic soldiers began to stir again.
Jump, all jump out ……
Zhu Pingan made the meat shield soldiers suspend their actions, their own face calmly stood on the table looking at the hearts and minds of the chaotic soldiers, silently noted down the party compulsion of the chaotic soldiers, these people’s reactions are in Zhu Pingan’s expectations, if no one denigrates the compulsion, that would be abnormal. The rebellion at Zhenwu Camp was clearly premeditated. Now that these soldiers have jumped out, Zhu Pingan believes that ninety-nine per cent of them are participants.
Zhu Pingan stood calmly on the table, and waited until the chaotic soldiers had jumped out almost, and the words of denigration and demagoguery had been said almost, before he smiled and arched his hand towards the chaotic soldiers once again, and said in a loud voice, “Very well, many thanks to these brothers for their concern and reminder, and your worries are very justified.”
“Hehe, dog officer, revealed the truth by us, right? Getting annoyed, right? What hypocrisy, still talking about concern and reminders.”
“Dog officer, if you’re true to your word, then come down and lead your neck to death! This is what you said!”
“You officials, you’re good at talking nonsense with your eyes open and making empty promises, we don’t believe in your words!”
“Suffer death, dog official!”
A guttural shout of curses came from the group of disorganised soldiers, urging Zhu Pingan to come down and lead his neck to death.
“Hehe, brothers of the Zhenwu Battalion, be at ease. This official will not speak blindly with his eyes open, much less make empty promises! Your worries are superfluous. Why? This is the second thing this official has to say.”Zhu Pingan stood on the table, smiled, reached down and pressed his hand down, and said aloud.
“Dog official, how else do you want to fool us?!”
“Dog official, don’t try to fool us anymore! We don’t believe a single word of your words, your promises!”
A hush fell over the group of disorganised soldiers.
“The second thing this official has to say is the death exemption scroll! Duke Wei, Marquis Linhuai, and Zhenshou He have written three thousand death exemption scrolls in their own handwriting, with their official seals on them! Each of you will have one.”
Zhu Pingan stood on the table, stretched out his finger to point at the marshal tent behind him, and said to the chaotic soldiers.
“Ah? Exemption scrolls?!”
“Each person will have a Freedom from Death Scroll? Straw Buns wrote it with their own handwriting, and it’s even stamped with an official seal? Really?!”
Hearing Zhu Pingan say that each of them would be given a death exemption scroll, the eyes of the chaotic soldiers all lit up at once.
When Zhu Pingan had previously said that Servant Huang had fallen on his own horse and had nothing to do with them, they had been somewhat moved.
Only, after being reminded that an official’s word is not his bond, they became worried again. It makes sense ah, Zhu Pingan this will be able to open his eyes and say that the Huang Squire is his own fall on the horse, then he may later change his words again, saying that they killed the Huang Squire, they are killing the official rebel ……
However, if it’s really like what Zhu Pingan will say here, that each person will be issued a death-exemption scroll, then there’s no need to worry.
We have a death scroll, this is a straw bag, they wrote in their own handwriting, but also has the official seal, in the future, even if they change their words are not afraid. I have a death waiver, ah, free from death are, I’m still afraid of what ah me.
“Brothers, do not believe the words of the dog official ah.”
“Brothers, don’t be deceived by the officials. How can they give each of us a death warrant?”
“Brothers, the dog official is a delaying tactic, he’s just talking now when he says he’ll give us a death exemption scroll, there’s no way he’ll give it to us.”
Unsurprisingly, many more people stood out from different directions in the chaotic group of soldiers, loudly denigrating Zhu Pingan.
“Brothers of the Zhenwu Battalion, did you hear correctly! Freedom from death scrolls! Each of the death exemption scrolls is written by Duke Wei and their handwriting, and each of the death exemption scrolls is stamped with an official seal. Each and every one of you will receive an Exemption Scroll!”Zhu Pingan nodded vigorously to the chaotic soldiers and said loudly.
After speaking, Zhu Pingan ordered the meat shield soldiers behind him to quickly go to the marshal tent to fetch the death exemption scrolls.
Seeing that Zhu Pingan was true to his word, causing people to go and fetch the Deathless Scrolls, the eyes of these chaotic soldiers instantly brightened even more.
Although some people in the group of chaotic soldiers continued to loudly denigrate Zhu Pingan and compel the chaotic soldiers, it was obvious that the effect was minimal.
The two meat shield soldiers entered the marshal tent and quickly came out, holding a thick stack of exemption scrolls in their hands.
Seeing the meat shield troopers holding back a thick stack of red stamped death scrolls, Zhu Pingan slightly smiled, Duke Wei did not pull his crotch this time after all. Although they pulled their crotches, he himself could remedy the situation on the spot, but not pulling their crotches was the best.
“Lord Zhu, these are a total of five hundred and eighty exemption rolls, the Duke of State they are still stepping up the production of exemption rolls ……”The meat shield proctor whispered as he handed over the death exemption scrolls to Zhu Pingan.
“That’s fine, you guys go pick them up every tea break.”Zhu Pingan nodded and explained.
“As you command.”The meat shield pro-soldier led the order.
