Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 70 I am willing to obey my lord's commands!

The entire room then fell silent.

At this moment, Gu Qinghan finally came to her senses. With a complicated expression, she stepped forward and said, "Tianyi..."

Seeing the hint of reluctance in her eyes, Xu Tianyi smiled.

"Qinghan, you are still too kind. You don't understand these things. Shen An, explain it to her."

Gu Qinghan turned her head and took a step back.

She didn't quite understand why Xu Tianyi was killing civilians.

After all, she didn't like bullying the weak, and like the Crown Prince, she had a kind heart.

Shen An laughed and said, "Miss Gu, these people don't trust you. It's absolutely impossible to gain their trust in a short time."

Therefore, we must first instill fear in them and establish Young Master Xu's position so that they will obey our orders.

Gu Qinghan asked, puzzled, "Is it really necessary to kill someone?"

Shen An nodded: "If we don't kill them and let these troublemakers cause trouble, then in the end these people will rush up to their deaths like moths to a flame. Only when more than half of them are dead or injured will they become afraid and flee."

If that's the case, then they will never trust Young Master Xu again.

People have a resentment towards the rich. Now that they have successfully rebelled, they think that by overthrowing the nobles they can be on equal footing with them.

That's why they acted so impulsively.

If left unchecked and allowed to develop unchecked, none of Young Master Xu's plans will succeed.

These people will eventually be beheaded and their wealth stolen by the arriving soldiers. As a member of the royal family, you should understand the importance of rules.

Young Master Xu is establishing the rules.

Gu Qinghan only realized it at this moment.

She was just a female knight-errant who had practiced martial arts since childhood; no one had ever taught her how to be a proper person in a position of power.

She's a good person, but not a good leader.

She only now begins to understand the principle that "a kind heart cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot manage finances."

He silently raised his head.

While they were chatting, Xu Tianyi had already killed the woman.

Those who block the road do not discriminate based on gender or age.

The entire venue fell silent.

Xu Tianyi said coldly, "Let me tell you, do you think overthrowing the government has anything to do with you?"

The one who overthrew the government was Liu Qingfeng! Not you!

Even if ten thousand of you weaklings attacked me at once, I could still slaughter them all by myself!

What gives you the right to yell at the strong?

On equal footing?

Everyone is equal?

I'm telling you!

If you want true equality, you must first learn to obey!

I said I would give you food, I would give you land, I would help you build your own houses, and I would even reduce my taxes.

In the future, I will also train your children, letting them study and learn martial arts!

But is this how you repay me?!

Growing angrier as he spoke, Xu Tianyi grabbed the headless corpse of the middle-aged man.

"You bunch of ingrates, open your eyes and see for yourselves!!"

"Following this piece of shit, will he be able to feed you, or even send you to school and teach you martial arts?!"

Xu Tianyi, holding the blood-soaked corpse in one hand, strode into the crowd.

"Look at yourselves, you bastards!! Open your eyes and tell me, are you going to follow this piece of trash to steal and rob, or are you going to eat with me, Xu Tianyi, with dignity?! Speak up!!"

The entire audience remained silent, heads bowed.

A sense of guilt arose in everyone's heart.

Some were even bolder, staring at the middle-aged man's corpse.

He was just a skinny, scrawny laborer, while the man carrying his corpse was a noble-dressed, powerful, imposing, and capable prince consort.

There is absolutely no comparison between the two.

As Xu Tianyi approached step by step, the people wherever he went bowed their heads and even held their breath.

Ten meters... twenty meters... thirty meters...

Xu Tianyi walked thirty meters when a weak yet firm voice came from behind him.

"Liu Qingfeng is ready to obey my lord's orders!!"

Liu Qingfeng's weak voice echoed around him, and all the people looked up to see him solemnly bowing to Xu Tianyi, completely disregarding the mud and yellow clay on the ground. His manners were impeccable and sincere.

Subsequently, many of his close associates also knelt down.

"Li Siyi is willing to obey my lord's orders!"

"Zhou Nanfeng is ready to obey your orders, lord!"

"Guo Decai is willing to obey my lord's orders!"

"Zhang Dongqing..."

...

One after another, they knelt down, followed by thousands of people in the entire arena, and then countless people in the city also knelt down at the same time.

The shouts of loyalty were deafening!

Gu Qinghan was stunned. Watching this scene, she felt admiration. Perhaps even her own father would find it difficult to do.

Shen An felt the same way; he saw Xu Tianyi's charisma and his courage.

He then followed suit and knelt down. From then on, he was no longer the grandson of the Shen family steward, but a close advisor to Xu Tianyi.

At this moment, Xu Tianyi was filled with excitement; he hadn't expected this to happen.

He quickly dropped the corpse he was holding.

"Get up, everyone!!"

His voice was very loud.

After hearing this, Liu Qingfeng and the others slowly stood up, but most of the people still dared not get up.

Xu Tianyi established his authority in one battle, with remarkable results.

"Get up!! All of you go back and wait for my instructions. You'll all get plenty of food!!"

After Xu Tianyi uttered these words, the crowd of people stood up as if relieved, but they all stood there dumbfounded.

Liu Qingfeng immediately ordered his men to clear out the surrounding people and let them go back to their homes.

Thus, Xu Tianyi's convoy entered the county town under the watchful eyes of everyone.

At this moment, no one dared to covet the property, nor did anyone dare to cause trouble.

It seems that the whole city has become much more stable.

. . .

Upon entering the county government office, Xu Tianyi sat on the throne of the county magistrate.

He questioned, "What exactly happened? With your cultivation level, suppressing these rioters shouldn't be a problem."

Liu Qingfeng was filled with shame upon hearing this.

“My lord, since you left, I have followed your instructions to first deal with the two major families, and then the underground gangs and local tyrants.”

But as soon as the two major families fell, the people of the entire city were incited by some members of the Taikang Gang.

Amidst the chaos, I couldn't bear to harm the people, and I hesitated to take action.

So, I was also slightly injured after killing the leader of the Taikang Gang.

To my shame, many of my subordinates also caused trouble, which was due to my poor management and poor judgment in choosing people…

Xu Tianyi shook his head in silence.

Gu Qinghan then asked, "Why did things suddenly become chaotic?"

Liu Qingfeng looked distressed: "I asked them to lead some trusted believers to seal up the supplies in preparation for later distribution."

But the people were misled and went mad when they saw the gold, silver, antiques and jade, and began to plunder them.

They then began storming into shops and mansions, looting indiscriminately.

I went to suppress the rebellion, but the results were not good. Often, when the east city was pacified, chaos would break out in the west city. As soon as I left, the east city would start looting again.

Then even the men I sent out couldn't hold back, leading to a chaotic battle within the city.

The city only calmed down after I killed the leader of the Taikang Gang.

But I was injured and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, they started again.

Until our lord arrives.

He felt ashamed and completely at a loss; it was his incompetence and his dereliction of duty.
