Li Chang'an held a knife, followed by tens of thousands of civilians.
From eight-year-old toddlers to eighty-year-old elders.
Everyone followed behind him, holding a knife in their left hand and silver in their right.
Some of these people were planted by Li Chang'an in secret, tasked with stirring up trouble and fanning the flames.
There were also some people who had been bullied by the Yan family and genuinely wanted revenge.
The last group of people didn't actually know what they were supposed to do; they only knew that if they took a knife and followed them, they would receive ten taels of silver.
Moreover, the newly arrived Marquis said that if those corrupt officials were overthrown, there would be more silver to be distributed.
Whether or not they received any money, they didn't really care.
Ten taels of silver alone would be enough for them to risk their lives.
Five taels of silver is the annual income of a family of six or seven.
Ten taels of silver could support a family for two years.
Why not go?
Anyway, I've heard that Yan Song isn't a good person.
Moreover, the new marquis seems quite formidable.
So they went along with them.
Since I've already paid, I'll believe it to some extent.
They followed the crowd, and when they heard someone shout something, they shouted it back.
"Down with the corrupt officials, give us back our land!"
"Avenge those trafficked children!"
The newly appointed leader of the Confucian school, Zhang Jiadi, looked at the people behind him and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the will of the people, this is the will of the people!"
Li Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.
That's where the people's hearts are; it's just a matter of self-interest and following the crowd.
To truly achieve this, where there is oppression, there will be resistance; the journey is far from over.
However, he was not in a hurry, with the Emperor's Armor in hand, plus unlimited resources and unlimited gold.
He can gradually transform these people into the kind of people he desires.
As for whether distributing this gold would cause inflation, Li Chang'an didn't care at all.
In the 1970s and 80s, the term "millionaire" was synonymous with "ten-thousand-yuan household".
In the millennium, a net worth of one million was considered a fortune.
When he finally went bankrupt, a million dollars couldn't even buy a house.
He wasn't afraid of giving out too much money; he only complained that he was giving out too little.
With unlimited resources as the anchor point, the specific price of money is determined by Li Chang'an.
Otherwise, why would power always be more important than money?
Once they reach a certain status, money is just a piece of paper in their eyes.
A piece of paper to which they have given value.
As the crowd left Lantian County, they traveled all the way to the capital.
The captain guarding the city gate had already received orders to remove the barricades that were still in place at the city gate.
But when he saw tens of thousands of people rushing towards him with knives, he was still somewhat afraid.
In the past, many people had entered the city, but every time they had done so obediently, with their heads down, queuing up to enter.
This time, everyone brandished long swords and stormed into the capital with great momentum.
Judging from their appearance, it's like they're about to rebel.
Moreover, some people looked at him with ill intent, which made him quite afraid.
After thinking for a moment, the captain simply took his knife and joined in.
Anyway, we're dealing with Lord Yan Song, what does it have to do with him?
Sure enough, when he held the knife and shouted along with the crowd, those unfriendly eyes turned kind.
It's as if to say, "So you're one of us too."
The parade of tens of thousands of people attracted everyone's attention.
The people and merchants in the capital didn't need Li Chang'an to say anything.
I was naturally drawn to it.
They followed behind the crowd, curious to see what they were up to.
Meanwhile, Yan Song was pacing back and forth in the mansion.
Early this morning, the Imperial Guards completely surrounded the Yan family compound.
They didn't barge in; they just surrounded the area, preventing anyone from leaving.
After pacing back and forth several times, Yan Song felt increasingly panicked, as if a great disaster was about to befall him.
Thinking of this, he took two deep breaths to calm himself down.
Then he dismissed the servants and went alone to a secret room.
"Lord Shuke, Lord Beta, something terrible has happened! The Embroidered Uniform Guard has surrounded the Yan family."
"What are you so panicked about? What are you afraid of?"
Yelü Shuke's expression turned somewhat cold upon seeing Yan Song's appearance.
"Have you done something again that the imperial court has discovered and is preparing to take action against you?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Song thought for a moment and said, "When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; I know this principle."
"But logically speaking, it shouldn't be this fast."
He was completely baffled, not knowing why the imperial court had suddenly turned against him.
Yelü Beta was a burly man, standing two meters tall and weighing nearly 400 kilograms.
He held his stomach and said, "Brother, let's not worry about that for now. Why don't we take Lord Yan with us and go out to inquire? They're just a few Imperial Guards, what's there to be afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Song quickly explained, "Lord Beta, I am not afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. However, the one leading the team is Lin Linfa, the second-ranked swordsman of the Baolong Clan and a master of the Imperial Guard."
Upon hearing this name, the Yelü brothers' expressions turned serious.
Although both of them were at the Land Immortal Realm, neither of them was confident that they could defeat this second-ranked master of the Great Ming Sword Technique.
The undisputed number one swordsman in the world is the Sword Saint, Nameless.
As for the second, the Ming Dynasty believed it to be the unparalleled genius of the Baolong clan, Lin Linfa, the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens.
The Liao people considered Murong Hongxue to be the Liao Kingdom's number one swordsman.
But no matter who it was, the Yelü brothers were not confident they could win.
