Chapter 227 Just one sentence! What is this? (Ch 227)

【After reading the letter. 】
【Ji Qingluo was very annoyed.】
[Of course she knows.]
[This letter was definitely not written by my nieces! ]
[It must be a trick used by the rebels! ]
[“You want to use this to anger the court?”]
[“Want to rebel just for the right reasons?”]
【”Oh!”】
【Ji Qingluo sneered. 】
[Of course she won’t be fooled. ]
[She tears up the letter.]
[She continued to focus on the government affairs at hand.]
【”after all.”】
【“This rebel.”】
[“A general has gone to deal with it.”]
[“I just need to wait a little while.”]
[“Then we can judge the leader of the rebels in Chang’an City!”]
[Although he did not get along with the officials from the noble families, Ji Qingluo also knew that they were still capable. ]
[Otherwise, if they can all become the largest party in the court, wouldn’t that mean that the other officials are even more useless? ]
[The general sent out may not be as good as the Duke of Wei and others, but he is also an outstanding person! ]
【“Deal with these rebels.”】
[“It’s a bit of a waste of talent!”]
[This is not Ji Qingluo’s idea, but the opinion of the court officials. ]
[This matter was destined to be easily resolved, so she naturally wouldn’t worry too much. On the contrary, Julu after the rebellion was quelled, and the local officials who escaped, were the focus of her attention! ]
【”but.”】
【”besides.”】
[“And the safety of Changluo and Changxi.”]
[“And why the rebellion broke out there.”]
【”this……”】
[“That’s what I need to figure out too!”]
[Ji Qingluo suddenly felt that this matter was not so easy to resolve.]
【Especially the rebellion that broke out, what exactly caused it? 】
[Will it lead to rebellion in other parts of Chengguo? ]
【Thinking of this. 】
[Ji Qingluo frowned slightly.]
【After a long time.】
[She finally exhaled with difficulty.]
【”anyway.”】
[“Chengguo…”]
[“It will never collapse in my hands!”]
…
【End of the month.】
【new year.】
[The people of Julu County were extremely excited.]
【Because they could never think of it. 】
[I and others can actually eat a meal of white rice during the New Year! 】
[I didn’t die in that cold night, I didn’t die in that cold winter, but I was able to fill my stomach! ]
[“Not only that! Those Taoist priests also distributed new clothes to us! They are very warm clothes!”]
[“Although it doesn’t quite fit, it’s a little warmer, so it doesn’t matter whether it fits or not!”]
[“Having enough food to eat and having new clothes, is this the life of an emperor?”]
[“Even if I never wake up tomorrow, even if I die at night today, I will be satisfied!”]
[“I never thought that I could die a full death, even in my dreams!”]
【“…”】
[The people of Julu County were discussing this matter.]
[Of course they knew what Chen Huaixin and Taoism had done with those poor people.]
[But they didn’t expect that this group of people who didn’t even have complete weapons could actually succeed in the rebellion! ]
【Julu today. 】
【Controlled by Taoism! 】
【They thought. 】
[Those Taoists will force them to join the army in order to deal with the upcoming imperial army. They have already thought about how to save their lives or escape! ]
【but.】
【Today.】
[After the Taoists distributed food and clothes to them. ]
[They suddenly felt that even if they were forcibly recruited into the army, it didn’t seem to be a bad thing! ]
【”At least.”】
“Here.”
[“I can still be a full-fledged ghost.”]
[“And escape…”]
[“You’ll just starve to death!”]
[These people thought in their hearts.]
[Even if they thought of the battlefield and the imperial army, they would tremble with fear, but for some reason, no matter how much they trembled, their legs seemed to be tied with a thousand-pound stone and could not move! ]
[The weight of the rice and clothes tied them to the spot! ]
[“Even if.”]
【“This price.”】
【“It’s very likely to be life.”】
[“But what’s the point of having this life for us, a bunch of untouchables?”]
[“The masters oppress us, and the court ignores us.”]
[“And Taoism… they let us eat white rice!”]
[In the eyes of the powerful, this multiple-choice question is an extremely unequal balance. Even a person with a hole in his brain knows that he should choose to live. ]
[From the perspective of these lower-class people, it is indeed an extremely unequal balance, but the most important thing is not life, but… a mouthful of rice! ]
[They are the ones who have holes in their brains but still choose to have a full meal! ]
【”because.”】
[“I’m hungry.”]
【These people made their choice.】
[While they were getting rice and clothes, they directly asked if they could join the Taoists in the rebellion.]
[They asked if they would be able to eat white rice again if they joined.]
[They looked at the Taoists expectantly, and the Taoists looked at Chen Huaixin.]
[“I can’t promise you that you’ll be able to eat white rice in the future.”]
[“But eating a bowl of rice porridge is absolutely fine!”]
【Chen Huaixin looked at the people and answered their questions.】
[Although they did harvest a large amount of food from the homes of local tyrants and evil gentry, there were still too many people who needed help! ]
[They can’t cook white rice for every meal, because that would not be enough food! ]
【but.】
【This is the answer. 】
[It was enough to get them excited.]
[There is an endless stream of people volunteering to join. 】
[Ji Changxi, who was standing behind Chen Huaixin, had a complicated expression on his face again.]
【“It’s just a bowl of rice porridge.”】
【“You will get the help of the people.”】
【“It will make them willing to rebel.”】
【”this……”】
[“This is the sin committed by Chengguo!”]
【Ji Changxi sighed deeply. 】
[She now understands more and more that what the people need is actually very simple, a place to stay, a bowl of rice porridge, and a piece of clothing to keep out the cold.]
[This thing, which is not taken seriously by the rich and powerful, is what the people of Chengguo pray for their whole lives! ]
【”but.”】
【“Such a simple request.”】
[“The people are still not satisfied.”]
[“There is a reason why Chengguo has become what it is now!”]
[Ji Changxi looked into the distance, and his intention to overthrow Chengguo became even more determined.]
[The Taoist temple master beside her shook his head after hearing her sigh.]
【”No.”】
[“You don’t need to provide rice porridge to get the people to revolt.”]
[“Just one sentence, take you to get rice porridge, that’s enough.”]
[The Taoist temple master looked at Chen Huaixin.]
[Of course he knows.]
[It’s not that Chen Huaixin is amazing, but that Cheng Guo is too outrageous! ]
[Even the basic living needs of the people are not guaranteed! ]
[“Then we… can only go get it ourselves!”]
…
After seeing the deduced future.
The gentry everywhere cursed the lower class and the untouchables.
after all.
In their opinion.
Whether it was money, food, or clothing, they were all accumulated bit by bit through their hard work!
Let’s not talk about the fact that these things were actually obtained by them through various means and oppressing the people. Let’s just say whether they have put in any effort and sweat in the process!
“This is ours!”
“This is our wealth!”
“Those untouchables actually wanted to rob and plunder…they deserve to die!”
These local gentry cursed.
As for the fact that the people will starve to death or freeze to death because they have no money or food, what does that have to do with them?
That was clearly the court’s problem, and it was clearly the government’s inaction, so how could they blame it on them!
Let’s take a step back.
Even though they have 99 percent of the problems.
Don’t the untouchables have even one percent of the responsibility? !
“and.”
“Even if you starve to death.”
“But you should also look for your own reasons!”
“How can you steal our things?”
Many wealthy people were very angry.
but.
They know it too.
The untouchables cannot even write their own names, so they certainly have no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. Only beatings and scolding can make them obedient!
So they gave orders directly to recruit another group of guards. This way, even if they were still targeted by the untouchables, at least they would have the ability to resist… right?
These local gentry were not sure, because the Chen Huaixin in the deduction had used witchcraft!
If he were to lead the team, no matter how many guards there were, they would definitely not be enough to stop them!
“So it’s best.”
“After the deduction is over.”
“See if we can recruit Chen Huaixin!”
“We have delicious food here.”
“It’s better than staying with those untouchables, right?”
Some local gentry had such an idea.
And just when they had these plans.
The people from all over Chengguo couldn’t help swallowing their saliva as they looked at the predicted future.
Especially.
The people of Julu County.
Looking at my future self.
Being able to eat that white rice and wear those warm clothes, his eyes are full of envy!
They hope extremely that their present selves can replace their future selves!
“Don’t worry!”
“We just have to wait for him to come!”
“He will take us to eat a full meal!”
Some people looked at Chen Huaixin and said this.
But more people think that this idea seems to have some problems.
Whether you can have enough food.
Waiting for… others to arrive?!
These people frowned. They didn’t know what was wrong, but they just felt that this was not a good thing.
As for the imperial army that might appear at any time in the deduction, no one cared!
“after all.”
“He knows magic!”
“The imperial army is just…”
“How can we suppress him?”
…
[March, the twelfth year of Yuanhuang.]
[The imperial army that came to suppress the rebellion finally arrived. ]
【Although.】
【This is a forced march.】
【It made the morale very low. 】
[It also made the soldiers exhausted. ]
【”but.”】
【”It doesn’t matter.”】
【“It’s just a rebellion of a mob.”】
[“I alone am enough to destroy it!”]
[The leading general is very confident. ]
【On the way here. 】
【He has learned it.】
[This time, the rebellion that caused the officials of Julu to flee, the local gentry to become silent, and the city to fall was actually started by a Taoist priest who pretended to be a god and led a group of hungry untouchables! ]
【Although.】
【The county magistrate.】
[It has been said that the leader of the rebels, the Taoist priest who pretends to be a god, really has mastered the magic. ]
[He only needed to shout “Thunder God help me” to create an explosion, killing those officers and soldiers on the spot! ]
【but.】
【In the opinion of this leading general. 】
[This is just an excuse the county magistrate made to shirk his responsibility and reduce his own responsibility! ]
【”after all.”】
[“There are no immortals anymore!”]
[“Even if you really master the immortal method.”]
[“How can it be put into actual combat?”]
[The leading general scoffed at this statement.]
[After all, he is also a noble, and he actually knows more about the former immortal than many ordinary people. ]
[Anyway, according to the books written by his ancestors, immortals need to rely on spiritual energy to practice and perform immortal magic! ]
【“Three hundred years ago.”】
[“The spiritual energy has already begun to dissipate.”]
[“Even if a mortal accidentally obtains the immortal method of a former immortal.”]
[“But without the help of spiritual energy, it is just useless!”]
[The leading general snorted coldly.]
[He glanced at the tired-looking soldiers behind him, and asked his guards to urge them to speed up! ]
【“A little while longer.”】
[“We will reach Julu County!”]
【“When the time comes.”】
[“You can rest however you want!”]
[The leading general uttered these words of encouragement.]
[He didn’t say it explicitly.]
【But the soldiers all understood. 】
【The meaning of his words! 】
[“As long as the rebels are successfully suppressed.”]
[“Then we can at least wreak havoc in this town for a day or two!”]
[“This is the reward the general gave us for our forced march!”]
[Thinking of this, the soldiers’ hearts suddenly surged with motivation! ]
[This unspoken rule in the Chengguo Army is also the reason why the people in various places hate and fear the Chengguo Army so much, but for them, this kind of reward is taken for granted. ]
【”otherwise.”】
[“Why should we save you!”]
[This is what many soldiers thought in their hearts.]
【They quickened their pace. 】
[They knew that the so-called rebels were just a group of civilians, so it would be easy to deal with them! ]
【”but.”】
[“What is that?”]
[“Why is there a strange stone here?”]
[Some soldiers noticed that there was a large stone blocking the road ahead, and behind the stone there was a long line that seemed to be burning.]
[Even the soldiers saw it, so the general in the lead naturally noticed it as well.]
[He walked forward without any hesitation and poked the stone with his weapon.]
[“What is this?”]
[The leading general just frowned.]
【He saw that the thread seemed to have burned out.】
【Then.】
【Boom! 】
【The earth is shaking! 】
