"I lied to them? It was you who lied to them, wasn't it, King Hu?" Fang Zhiyi narrowed his eyes. "How many refugees and civilians have you taken in along the way? How many rebels have you taken in? Every time we attack the city, you let them go first, and your people only pick the fruits last?"
King Hu choked and was about to open his mouth.
"I heard you robbed the people of their money and food. The massacre in Wuyuan County was also your doing, right? Oh, and you even forcibly took your subordinates' wives and daughters. Is that true?" Before he could object, Fang Zhiyi continued, "With someone like that as your leader, how could you possibly live? Does it really mean that everyone doesn't have to pay taxes and has enough to eat?"
Hu Tianwang panicked because he heard a buzzing whisper around him, and the rebels looked at him suspiciously. He didn't understand why Fang Zhiyi had brought his men to the camp gate to engage in a verbal battle when they were clearly fighting.
Suddenly, one of his subordinates stood up and said, "Mr. Hu! You've been occupying my wife for over a year! I've been holding this grudge against you for a long time!"
With the leader in the lead, a man dressed differently soon rode out of the group. "Heavenly King Hu, I want to trust General Fang. During these sieges, it was our Jianghe Army that led the charge. Your army has been hiding in the camp, drinking and having fun. Ugh."
Hu Tianwang was anxious: "Even if he said it, you would believe it? Can't you see how stupid this court is?"
Fang Zhiyi seemed to have known what he was going to say. He raised his hand and rolled up the yellow cloth, then slowly unfolded it. He didn't seem afraid at all. He even approached a few rebels and used their torches to illuminate the words on the cloth.
"Here, the emperor said he would pardon me. Here, the emperor said thank you. He was deceived by his subjects before and had almost no idea what was happening below. If it weren't for all of you righteous men, he wouldn't have known that Wei Wu Dynasty had become like this." As he said this, Fang Zhiyi waved his hand behind him, and several soldiers walked out of the crowd, all carrying heavy packages, which was very strenuous.
Later, in full view of the crowd, the package was opened and heads fell to the ground one after another. This was the person in charge who sent people to Caishikou to pick up the heads before leaving the city.
"You probably don't know this, the Minister of Revenue is a corrupt official."
"This one is a fifth-rank official, and this one is amazing, a first-rank official!" Fang Zhiyi took a torch from the rebel army and pointed at the ground.
These rebels seemed to have returned to being ordinary villagers at this moment. Listening to Fang Zhiyi's introduction, they exclaimed "Oh" and "Wow" one after another.
"Finally, the Emperor apologizes to everyone and hopes that everyone will trust Wei Wuchao once more and not make any more senseless sacrifices. You all have wives, children, and elders at home. Please take the money and go home."
"Do you have any money left?" A volunteer soldier was very excited.
"That's nonsense, isn't it? Didn't you see that after being arrested, Sun Liu not only had his leg healed, but he was also given money for his journey? And even a letter of innocence?"
"But Sun Liu was chopped down by the Heavenly King..."
As they were talking, someone dropped his weapon, and instantly more people dropped their weapons.
Hu Tianwang was anxious: "What are you doing? You fools! Someone come! Someone come!"
As he was shouting, the sound of horse hooves was heard on one side, and a group of rebels rushed over from the side. Hu Tianwang was overjoyed: "Here we go! Is it He Qing?" He remembered that the rebel army coming from that direction was He Qing's, but he still refused to join forces.
"It's you, my grandfather! General He Qing, the Biaoqi General, has come to capture the traitor Hu Dexiang!"
Hu Tianwang was stunned. What was going on? Did He Qing even have a nickname? But before he could figure it out, two of his trusted followers behind him exchanged glances and instantly grabbed him.
"General Fang, I was deceived by this man. Please forgive me!"
