Wu Nian couldn't guess the purpose of these guys just now, but now he understands.

It is not that easy to kill Ban Bian Zhang.

It is even said that he is making enemies of the officials and squires in the entire Jiang County. Half Zhang is called half Zhang, but isn't it only half of it?

The remaining half can still support some squires and landlords.

Ban Zhang has been in Jiang County for many years, and his roots are intertwined. He has been married to these squires and landlords, and is like a big tree, firmly rooted in Jiang County.

It is easy to kill Zhang Bu, and it is easy to kill Zhang Youwei, but half of Zhang must be uprooted. How can these leading figures in Jiang County endure it?

And if the half-side branches are not uprooted, and the half-side branches are built according to their foundation, they will soon grow again in the spring breeze.

There are countless powerful families in Liaodong. If they are not crushed to ashes, they will be resurrected.

This group of officials came to plead for mercy, and they also came to force the palace.

Wu Nian's heart was full of murderous intent, but the fierceness on his face gradually subsided.

"What's your surname, old gentleman?" Wu Nian asked.

"I am the person to be elected in this county, Wang Jing." The old man cupped his hands and replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

A flash of surprise flashed in Wu Nian's eyes. It turned out that he was a candidate for the election. No wonder he was so tough. In Chu State, a scholar could meet an official without kneeling, but it was easy for the county magistrate to manipulate the scholar.

But a juren is different, it belongs to the rank of quasi-official. If there is no serious crime, the county magistrate and the prefect will have nothing to do with the juren.

Not to mention a martial artist?!

In addition, the Han people, no matter which dynasty or generation they belong to, treat the elderly favorably. This man named Wang Jing is old and has a good face, so he dares to lead the crowd to plead for Ban Bian Zhang.

Moreover, he calls himself "Zhang Family" without even saying "Ban Bian Zhang" in half a sentence.

Wu Nian smiled and said: "It turned out to be Wang Juren. I don't know Wang Juren's meritorious service. Is it the merit of Chu State or the merit of Meng Yuan?"

Although Wu Nian had a smile on his face, his words were deeply vicious.

"Of course I am the emperor's successor." Anger flashed across Wang Jing's wrinkled face, she hit the other side with her cane, and she raised her head and said.

"Since you are a member of the Chu State, you are deeply favored by the emperor. What did you do when the Meng Yuan people went south? You didn't commit suicide and sacrifice your country, and you didn't run away with your family. You just accepted the situation. No. I'm afraid you were enjoying the benefits of the Mongolian people.

Welfare for Yuan Nan. Did your daughter marry someone from the Zhang family, or did your granddaughter marry someone from the Zhang family? Or, did your family marry some woman from the Zhang family?"

The smile on Wu Nian's face turned into a sneer, and he said slowly.

Wang Jing's face suddenly turned red, and then she began to breathe rapidly. Seeing this, an official quickly stepped forward to support Wang Jing, while the other officials lowered their heads slightly.

Wu Nian's guess was absolutely correct. Half of the trees had big roots and deep roots. This temporary organization of tribesmen and domestic slaves could produce two thousand strong men. What is the population?

They were living in Jiang County, and men and women were getting married. How many relatives did they have? There were dozens of officials present, all of whom were related to Zhang.

I don't dare to plead for mercy alone, but when everyone acts together, it's different.

First, Wu Nian never killed officials indiscriminately. He only killed county magistrates and county magistrates.

Secondly, the law does not blame everyone.

Thirdly, it was Wang Jing, an old and respected veteran, who took the lead, so they dared to come to plead for mercy.

Wang Jing quickly calmed down, reached out and pushed the official who was supporting her away. She raised her head, looked at Wu Nian, and said without retreating: "General Wu, I just endured the humiliation temporarily and waited for Master Wang to arrive.

Make another counterattack and drive away the Meng Yuan people."

"Laochan's youngest daughter is indeed married to a member of the Zhang family. But this has nothing to do with the personal relationship."

"The Zhang family has hundreds of people, and the family is big and has a big business."

"From a general point of view, Zhang Youwei and Zhang Bu surrendered to the Mongolians and acted as an aid to the tiger. They are indeed guilty. But what about the others? They are completely innocent."

"The general can just kill the chief culprit, why bother to kill them all?"

"Haha." Wu Nian sneered and said, "That sounds nice. I heard that Ban Bian Zhang has gathered all the strong men and domestic slaves to live and die with Jiang County."

"If I don't kill them, how can I be worthy of the soldiers I left outside the city?"

"Besides, who among the powerful men in the world is innocent? Although some members of the Zhang family are from good families and some are from bad families, no member of the Zhang family is innocent. All boys can enter the clan school and will be taken care of.

"

"Half Zhang. Zhang Youwei, Zhang Bu is the branches, and the rest of the tribe are the branches and leaves. The branches absorb nutrients and the branches and leaves are lush. Who can be innocent?"

"I will kill them all today."

At the end of the sentence, Wu Nian suddenly stood up and looked at Wang Jing with a fierce look in his eyes, which was extremely sinister.

Wu Nian is a ferocious beast, and his fierceness is exposed. How can others resist him? Dozens of officials all changed their colors, and the timid ones even sat down on the ground.

Wang Jing's face was also ugly, but after all, it was the Juren Master who could withstand Wu Nian's momentum. He raised his head and said: "The general is right. A powerful family does absorb the interests of the people and become stronger. Therefore, all the wise kings in the past dynasties have

It’s about restraining arrogance.”

"But restraining the powerful does not mean killing them all. Just kill the culprits."

"There are so many powerful people in this world. If we kill them all, how many people will die? Can they all be killed?"

"I don't dare to say that I have no control over the affairs of the world. But if there is injustice on the road, I will kill him. How are you doing?" Wu Nian looked sideways at Wang Jing, returned to his seat and sat down, and asked.

"I will write to the court and record everything you have done. Let everyone in the world know that you, Wu Nian, are cruel and cruel. You are a butcher stained with the blood of innocent people."

Wang Jing was also completely angry, raised her head and said loudly.

A mere warrior who has only gained power temporarily dares to be so arrogant. Kill, kill, kill, just kill.

It is precisely because of the existence of these warriors that in the last years of the previous dynasty, the military generals divided their kingdoms, so that wars continued and there was no cockcrow for thousands of miles.

I think the current Wu Nian also has the characteristics of a warlord in the last years of the dynasty. He should be reported to the court and his entire family should be killed.

When these two people fight, regardless of their strength, Wang Jing's momentum is not weak at all.

But the officials around them lowered their heads deeply, and did not dare to follow Wang Jing and Wu Nian to confront each other. They have the reputation of being a civil servant, but we do not.

The soldiers around him all had angry expressions on their faces, pressing the handles of their swords with their left hands, waiting for Wu Nian's order to chop the old thief into pieces.

Wu Nian smiled.

interesting.

It's really interesting.

When facing the Mongolian people, they were submissive, but when facing me, they straightened their backs, as if they were the boss above me, giving orders.

During the reign of the Meng Yuan people, he was a good old man who took refuge with Ban Bian Zhang.

When the Chu State ruled, he was a high-ranking official.

No. The power of Chu State has not yet arrived.

Theoretically, this city is an ownerless city.

In other words, whoever has the bigger fist belongs to him.

But he pulled off the tiger skin.

What is a flexible moral bottom line?
