Chapter 11 I’m going to break that pig cage!
Wang Cheng’s methods are very simple and crude.
Not enough "goods"? Then give me babies!
If anyone is dissatisfied? Then kill them all! The fewer people sharing the pie, the better.
The town was filled with people, and everyone who jumped out was uprooted by him.
He gave a small part of the collected profits to the obedient people for appeasement, and most of the rights were in his own hands, and his power of dominance in the small town reached its peak.
He promulgated a decree to force men and women of appropriate age to marry. Except for the "goods" he selected with potential for cultivation, all people with childbearing capacity became tools to produce "goods" for him.
In order to punish those who were obedient on the surface, he even went as far as to "slaughter a household if he didn't have any children for three years" to scare the monkeys.
The small town has completely become his breeding ground, and the people at the bottom are all his property and his goods.
From birth to death, their only role is to create value for him.
And he is the only god here!
The unrest was violently stopped before it could cause any ripples. However, the problem of insufficient supply cannot be improved in a short time.
Therefore, he decisively abandoned the low-level hook-and-rail business.
In his dealings with powerful people, he saw for the first time things that his original class would never know.
It turns out that you can still play like this? It turns out that my little means are really nothing compared to them.
He began to feel regretful about his previous waste of resources, and began to make a second selection of the leftover "goods".
Appearance is definitely not the most important indicator. Wang Cheng, who has begun to look beyond the nouveau riche, has selected batches of "high-quality products" worth cultivating, and under his careful training, they have become the top playthings in the hands of the powerful.
His business is getting bigger and bigger.
In the eyes of others, the small town is an isolated and remote place, but behind the deep city gate, it is indeed a famous ecstasy among the powerful circles.
As the situation in the Han Dynasty began to become more and more corrupt, the Yellow Turban swept across, natural disasters occurred frequently, and a drought covering the entire north came.
The small town that he had built into a place of exclusive pleasure had long since lost the profession of farmers. Wang Cheng, who was sitting on huge wealth, purchased everything he needed from outside.
In the year of sudden disaster, he could still buy some grain at a high price at first, but soon the surrounding cities fell into food shortages, and it was difficult for him to buy a grain of rice.
In order to protect his precious "goods", he began to collect grain from the entire city, giving priority to those "goods" with potential and to families that had produced high-quality "goods".
The hungry people starved to death in large numbers, and the people who had no food distribution did not even have the right to escape from the city. In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, all those who tried to escape were killed on the spot.
The situation of "big hunger, people cannibalize each other" soon appeared here, but Wang Cheng suddenly thought of an outrageous way to break the situation.
One night later, the bodies of the hungry people who starved to death on the streets were collected by the officers and soldiers of the county magistrate on the pretext of preventing plague.
From the next day, some people in the city began to drink broth.
Not knowing when the disaster would end, he ordered people to build a city within a city within a month, with high walls and no one knew what was inside.
But among the refugees around the small town, a legend began to spread unconsciously:
It is said that the small town located at the junction of the two states has been protected by the gods. In the current period of natural disasters, not only is there sufficient food, but you can even eat meat.
The refugees who were full of expectations flocked to the small town. The smiling county magistrate also kindly confirmed the rumors they had heard, and welcomed batches of ecstatic refugees into the city within a city...

After saying this, Zhang Jiao stopped, thinking he was recalling something.
Lin Junshu asked: "What is in that city within a city?"
"Didn't you already guess it?"
Lin Junshu already didn't know how to control his expression. He had never underestimated the evil of human nature, but he had never thought that people could really be worse than animals!
"It is said that after the famine, the city within the city was demolished. There was nothing behind the mysterious high wall, only broken bones of unknown animals piled all over the ground."
"..."
"Why me?" Lin Junshu looked at Zhang Jiao and asked seriously.
"Alas -" Zhang Jiao sighed, "The Yellow Turban Army has suffered setbacks in many battles, and nearly half of the Sixteenth Qu Commandery has been lost. Huangfu Song is responsible for all deployment and deployment of defenses, and cannot be easily transferred. If he finds a weakness, he may not even wait for a decisive battle.
Less than a month later."
"My original intention was to let Hu Jian do this. He is strong enough. Although Wang Cheng bought his official position, his official seal is genuine. Officials of the Han Dynasty can use their official seals to mobilize a small part of the power of evil gods.
”
"As long as you bring back Wang Cheng's heart and official seal, you can build the most important Temple of Heaven. He is just an ordinary person. If you don't have the official seal, you can easily kill him with one blow."
"I want to ask you, mainly because Hu Jian has such a temper. If he goes alone, I don't know what trouble will happen. He won't listen to what others say. You saved my life. If you speak, he will
Listen."
Lin Junshu listened quietly to Zhang Jiao's words, but couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, "When will that short black man be able to listen to me?"
However, the story Zhang Jiao told did have the effect he wanted.
Lin Junshu said seriously: "I want to personally confirm whether your story is true."
He still didn't want to believe, how could someone be so vicious?
"No problem." Zhang Jiao nodded, "If you are sure that the official is not the person who deserves to be killed, you can stop it at any time. This operation will be all about you. However, if it succeeds, you have to wait within a month.
Come back soon."
"Then if it fails..."
Before Lin Junshu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Jiao.
"If it exceeds a month, or the operation fails, then there is no need to come back. You can take Hu Jian and leave. The further away from Jizhou, the better."
Lin Junshu remained silent. If the Temple of Heaven had not yet been erected in a month, there would be no suspense about the outcome of the decisive battle between the Yellow Turban Army and the imperial court. This vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising would also come to a complete end just like the history he knew.
He looked at Zhang Jiao seriously.
"That small town...what's its name?"
"Xushui!"
Lin Junshu said no more, stood up and walked out of the tent.
Zhang Jiao, who was behind him, stood up and gave a slight salute to Lin Junshu who was leaving.
This time, Lin Junshu did not avoid it.
The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Lin Junshu walked out as if he was in another world.
The short black man was still guarding the door of the tent in a serious manner, and Lin Junshu smiled.
"Hu Jian, have you eaten?"
The man shook his head honestly.
"Then go and eat more! After dinner, come with me to smash that pig cage!"
