Imperial capital, imperial study.
Lin Han looked at the list of 108 generals and pondered.
Originally, he had planned that at the end of "Water Margin", after the 108 heroes had assembled, he would issue an imperial decree to bring peace to Liangshanpo.
The hidden main event [Song Jiang Uprising] surprised him a little.
Now the situation is a bit troublesome.
More than a dozen towns around Liangshan Lake were badly destroyed by those players, and the blame naturally fell on these leaders.
Even if they did not want to destroy the town, they were still charged with rebellion because of their leadership.
How to deal with these 108 generals is a problem.
It's impossible to let go.
But it is even more impossible to allow them to easily enter the court official system and use them openly.
"Your Majesty is wondering what to do with these 108 people?" Cao Zhengchun asked hesitantly.
"Yes, it is impossible to let them go. They are all talented people, but we cannot let them easily enter our court official system. Otherwise, people will think that the court condones rebellion and the people will be in trouble. If someone follows suit one day, wouldn't it be a joke?" Lin Han said.
"I have a plan," Cao Zhengchun said. "Why not hand them over to me? Put them in the Jinyiwei, let them make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences, and wash away their sins. Then I'll give them new identities and give them the insights they've mastered."
Upon hearing this, Lin Han handed the list to Cao Zhengchun.
"Leave this matter to the Jinyiwei. Strip away their divine status and put them to good use."
"yes."
Cao Zhengchun left with the list.
…
"System prompt: You are under arrest and cannot log off safely. If you are forced to log off, you will enter a special coma. If your body is attacked to death, you will be punished with death."
When Wang Changming heard the system prompt, his last bit of hope collapsed.
All the players who participated in the event in Liangshanpo were arrested as Song Jiang announced his surrender.
After the event ends, if you die again, you don't need to be resurrected in Liangshanpo, but your cultivation and talents will be deducted.
I suffered a huge loss from participating in this event. My cultivation level dropped and I didn’t get any benefits. Now I was arrested by Daxia and fell into Lin Han’s hands.
Many players followed the soldiers and were escorted to the open space, where they all squatted down. Now the question was how to deal with them.
Suddenly, the captives moved unusually and Zuo Xi appeared at the scene.
Many players know Lin Han’s beautiful player assistant, and she should be here on behalf of Lin Han this time.
…
Zuo Xi looked down at the endless number of players.
Even though some players were killed and returned to the novice status, their mentality collapsed and they logged off, and some players committed suicide after the system announced the end of the event when Song Jiang surrendered, and were teleported away from Liangshanpo after death, the number of captives still reached more than 10 million.
These prisoners were processed in several batches.
This is just one of them.
Originally, their cultivation should have been strong, but now they have become novices in the Qi Refining Stage. Zuo Xi couldn't even muster up a sympathetic attitude towards them.
It's all your own fault.
Notices were issued to warn them twice not to go too far in their activities, but they turned a deaf ear to Lin Han's words, plundered the people of the dynasty, and burned and killed people in the villages.
Now being liquidated, it’s all cause and effect.
"You joined the rebellion during the Song Jiang Uprising. We issued a warning beforehand, but you ignored it. Now let's discuss your fate."
As he finished speaking, the players who were squatting with their heads in their hands started to stir slightly. Some of them stood up, their bodies shattered on the spot, and turned into streams of light to be resurrected.
"Don't try to escape. You can teleport when you die. If you're not afraid of losing your talents."
Zuo Xi calmly glanced at the prisoner field.
"Now, let's discuss compensation. This time, the Liangshan Marsh rebels looted fifteen cities, thirty-six towns, and ninety-seven villages. They killed many civilians and burned many houses. I won't read out the statistics. All losses will be charged to you."
"According to the law, you should be executed, but if you surrender, you will be spared the death penalty. All losses from this Liangshanpo uprising will be shared equally by all of you, and each of you will be compensated with one thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"Fuck, they're robbing me."
"That's right. What I stole is worth less than ten spirit stones, and you want us to pay a thousand? Why don't you just rob?"
"quiet."
As Zuo Xi finished speaking, the pressure dissipated, and many players in the prisoner field shut up.
"Just because you robbed less doesn't mean others robbed less. This is the current loss statistics. You have four options: one thousand spirit stones, six months of hard labor, one year in prison, or suicide."
Zuo Xi's words made many players' eyelids twitch.
One thousand spirit stones, converted into today's real currency, are worth nearly one hundred thousand.
Six months of forced labor meant they had to work as hard labor for Lin Han for six months. One year in prison meant they were in prison the entire time they logged in. They could end their lives on their own and reduce their talents. It all depended on their choice.
"I'll pay the compensation."
"I'll pay compensation."
"I'll pay the spirit stone."
The wealthier players choose to pay compensation and leave.
Participating in the Song Jiang Uprising was the decision they most regretted in their lives. After experiencing the hellish scene at Liangshan Lake, they no longer wanted to stay around for a second longer.
Players who could afford the compensation all chose to hand over the spirit stones, while those who could not afford the fines could only stay where they were, feeling frustrated.
"I only have 800 spirit stones, can you give me less?"
"No, why didn't you want to destroy less when you were looting? Asking you to pay compensation is already the greatest mercy. Otherwise, I would have sent you to a land of chaos."
Zuo Xi stared at them coldly.
"This is your final warning. If you intend to return for revenge and destruction, the Land of Chaos will be your only destination."
"Can we wait and ask relatives and friends to send money over?"
