"Reporting to the commander, all the powerful and wealthy relatives, criminals and petty thieves in the city have been arrested."
"This humble general is truly shocked. This is the royal city of Daliang, right under the nose of the King of Wei, yet so many sordid things still happen!"
Pan Ning's face was still ashen, and his tone was full of anger and murderous intent.
He never imagined that what countless people had sacrificed their lives to protect was actually these thieves and prostitutes. He truly felt sorry for the brothers who died in battle.
After fighting for hundreds of years, what have we gained?
In this light... the wicked commander can be considered a sage, for his doctrines are grounded in reality and have incisively pointed out the root cause of the chaos in the world.
Thinking of this, Pan Ning suddenly knelt down with a thud, crying out, "I beg the commander-in-chief to organize the doctrines, spread them to the six kingdoms, and awaken the people to avoid the suffering of war."
These words left the wicked husband completely bewildered, and even Li Ba, who was standing to the side, frowned, wondering what he was up to.
"Get up first, I can't understand what you're saying."
The wicked husband stepped forward to help Pan Ning up, his handsome face filled with doubt and confusion.
Pan Ning exclaimed, “The commander-in-chief is a man of great talent. Every word he utters is a classic, pointing directly to the source of centuries of war and chaos. Why not compile it into a doctrine, emulate the sages of the past, promote this doctrine, and awaken the world?”
"This incident in Wei fully demonstrates your extraordinary learning and your ability to move people!"
"If it can be spread by word of mouth, it will save a lot of time and reduce countless casualties."
At this point, Pan Ning was truly moved. He knelt down again and kowtowed, saying, "Commander, the soldiers and the people are suffering too much. Even if this is the last turmoil before peace, they cannot bear it."
The wicked husband turned green with rage. He was just spouting nonsense to save time and effort. To expect him to actually develop a field of knowledge was a joke.
He's good at killing, but he's utterly incapable of scholarship!
Besides, those words were just his paraphrasing of those success gurus on the internet in later generations; how could they become classics?
"The head coach is indeed being modest!"
Li Balang glanced at the wicked husband, smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "The commander's words are simple and easy to understand, and they speak directly to people's hearts. They are no less insightful than the teachings of the Hundred Schools of Thought."
"General Pan Ning's words make a lot of sense and can greatly reduce casualties. Why not do it?"
Seeing that Li Balang had agreed, the wicked husband looked like he'd seen a ghost. But thinking about it carefully, given his years of experience online and his deep immersion in the language arts of self-help, it didn't seem so difficult for him to sway people.
At least, compared to most of the various schools of thought, his views are closer to reality and can be considered to be related to the earnest hopes of the people.
"Um...why don't you want to give it a try?"
Thinking of this, the wicked man scratched his head.
"It will definitely work!"
Seeing that he was somewhat interested, Pan Ning and Li Ba quickly echoed his sentiments.
“However, this matter is of utmost importance…” The wicked man pondered for a moment and then slowly said, “The establishment of a doctrine is not something that can be accomplished in a day. It requires deep thought and careful consideration, and it also needs the assistance of truly reliable people.”
Pan Ning and Li Ba both nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Pan Ning said even more urgently, "What the commander-in-chief says is very true. This matter concerns the lives of all people and should not be taken lightly. But if it succeeds, it will surely be a meritorious deed that benefits generations to come."
"We will do our utmost to assist the commander-in-chief," Li Balang firmly expressed his support.
The wicked man pondered to himself that although he had little interest in becoming a master of doctrine, it would be worth trying if he could take this opportunity to reduce war and spare the people from the suffering of weapons.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he had a few ideas.
The wicked man smirked, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll think about it carefully after the war ends and I return to Qin.”
His thoughts grew increasingly vivid, and a confident smile appeared on his face, indicating that he was absolutely certain about the matter.
Pan Ning and Li Ba were both overjoyed to see that their coach had made up his mind.
They knew that once the evil man's doctrines were published, they would surely cause a sensation throughout the world and perhaps bring a ray of hope to this chaotic era.
"Alright, it's late. You should all go back and rest. Let me think about it some more."
The two left in high spirits, leaving the wicked husband alone in the study, lost in thought.
......
The next morning.
The city of Daliang was packed with people. The people had gotten up early to attend and watch the 'public trial' that was about to take place!
It was called a public trial, but in reality it was just a public execution of powerful and wealthy people, including petty thieves and scoundrels, in front of the common people.
As the sun gradually rose, amidst the anticipation of the crowd, the wicked man arrived with a group of trusted generals.
"Gentlemen, take a look!"
"This is in Daliang City, right under the nose of the King of Wei. So many unjust people have been exposed. You can imagine how difficult it is for the people outside the capital to live?"
The wicked husband took the stage without any preamble, getting straight to the point.
He glanced around at the crowd and, seeing that they had been stirred up, continued, "Today's public trial is not only to punish the wicked, but also to warn you all that the Qin law is strict yet fair and just. Whether you are a noble or a commoner, you must abide by the law and not transgress it."
His words were powerful and resonant, echoing in every corner of Daliang City, moving all the people present.
"Today, I, the commander, will personally oversee the execution, and all these tyrannical and despicable scoundrels will be beheaded. I would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!" the wicked man continued, his gaze firm and profound, as if he could see into people's hearts.
As the wicked husband finished speaking, the people erupted in enthusiastic cheers, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, the wicked husband immediately shouted, "Execute the punishment!"
As the words fell, the ten people were led to the high platform.
Without a word, the soldiers, who were already prepared, raised their swords and began to strike.
"puff..."
Ten heads rolled to the ground.
The blood gushing from his neck instantly stained the ground red.
This bloody scene did not frighten the people; instead, it sparked even stronger cheers and shouts.
They had suffered oppression and cruelty for so long, and now that they saw them beheaded, they were overjoyed and excited, and no longer cared about being afraid.
"continue!"
Ten more people were brought up.
"cut!"
"........"
As wave after wave of people were escorted to the high platform for execution, the cheers continued for a long time.
However, the number of people waiting to be executed was so large that the executions continued until evening.
Even the soldiers who carried out the executions were changed several times.
The weapons used for decapitations have been replaced countless times due to their blades becoming dull and broken.
"Execution over!"
Li Balang gave a shout, and then said in a deep voice: "All 28,960 criminals were executed, including those whose crimes were heinous and whose relatives were implicated."
"You must remember that the Qin laws are strict and you must not commit crimes, or you will suffer the same fate as these people today."
Thus, the day-long massacre finally came to an end.
