Chapter 246: As many masters as there are servants
"Hurry, hurry up." General Wang saw that this group of people were really crazy and had no good intentions.
No matter what they are crazy about, it is not wise to stay outside at this time. The best strategy is to quickly enter the house through the side door.
The groom naturally didn't dare to say anything. Since General Wang had spoken, he had to carry out the order without thinking.
"Yes, my lord."
Nowadays, few people in the city call him General. After all, as a surrendered minister, no one knows what his future situation will be. Calling him "Sir" is a general and less error-prone title.
But as soon as they moved, the sound of the carriage alarmed the people who had fallen into the "demonization". The people turned their heads one after another and saw the coachman driving the carriage, preparing to turn around and leave.
This action immediately angered everyone, and the people rushed over without thinking and surrounded the carriage consciously.
General Wang was sitting in a carriage when someone pulled him out...
Being pulled off the carriage, the scene was certainly not a good one, especially since the other party's actions were so rude that General Wang almost rolled off the carriage in a panic and fell to the ground.
General Wang, "..." He must kill these unruly people. He has never been so humiliated in all these years!
The culprit who pulled General Wang off the carriage deliberately said a few words to incite people and escalate their anger, and then... he quietly disappeared into the crowd.
General Wang was handed over to the extremely angry people, while he watched silently while doing good deeds without leaving a name.
General Wang rolled out of the carriage, his mind still in a daze. He didn't understand who attacked him, and he was beaten and kicked.
If the man's action of pulling General Wang out of the carriage was like opening a floodgate, then they were the "flood" that was released.
The people already had deep resentment towards General Wang. Normally, they had to endure it because General Wang had people following him wherever he went and because of the stereotype that people should not fight against officials. So no matter how much resentment and hatred they had, they could only endure it.
At this moment, their emotions were greatly vented, and with the full-scale outbreak, General Wang was completely unable to fight back.
Not to mention that his martial arts skills were mediocre to begin with, just the few punches he received at the beginning from a few strong men were enough to cause him a lot of trouble.
General Wang, who was drunk, was sobered up by such force.
The most vulnerable part of the human body, the abdomen, was hit several times in a row, and the pain made him sweat profusely.
He was surrounded and beaten by dozens or even hundreds of people. He had nowhere to hide, let alone fight back.
When the coachman saw that something was wrong, he took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on General Wang, and quietly withdrew from the crowd with his head in his arms. He quickly ran back to the mansion through the side door and asked the servants to come out for help.
The incident happened suddenly, and the servants in the mansion did not have time to gather together. They only hurriedly gathered about ten people. Each of them took a thick wooden stick and hurried out of the mansion.
General Wang is incompetent, cowardly, and nepotistic, but he is also sensible enough to know that he must keep his head down during this period and must not be as high-profile as usual.
The anger of the people cannot be pushed to a climax. Otherwise, no matter how mob-like and intimidating the people are, they may rebel at any time.
Qi Jianshu took away 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, leaving only 1,000 people for him, while there were more than 100,000 civilians in the city. The comparison between the numbers was truly shocking.
General Wang did not dare to gamble. The more afraid of death a person is, the more he cherishes his life.
However, no matter how low-key he thinks he is, in the eyes of the people, he is still... damn it!
He collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country, and handed over the city of Xianyang to others without any struggle, and he still lived such a comfortable life. How could the people not hate him?
Seeing that the common people were already furious, the servants were afraid that General Wang would be trampled to death by them, so they had no choice but to take action directly.
This action was like turning on a switch, and the people's already angry emotions were now completely out of control.
Because the servant did not control the force well, the stick hit an old woman on the head, causing blood to flow out of her head.
The man fell down quickly.
This action angered the old woman's three sons, who were tall and strong, and immediately surrounded the servant who had taken action.
The servant was also an ordinary person and did not know any martial arts. Facing three strong men with ill intentions, he was immediately at a disadvantage. His stick was taken away and he was beaten several times.
After a few blows, the situation quickly changed.
The people who used to be afraid of General Wang and even the servants in his mansion were now filled with anger and didn't care about anything else, only wanting to beat people up.
General Wang was surrounded in the middle, and no one knew how he was beaten.
The servants outside who were trying to squeeze in were not in a much better situation.
There is a saying that for every master, there are servants. This is absolutely true.
General Wang was once the commander of a city. When he did not hand over Xianyang City to others, he was in great glory. However, he indulged his soldiers in oppressing the common people and ignored the servants in his mansion who took advantage of their power to bully others.
Once people's emotions are suppressed to a certain critical point, they will explode.
All we can say is that the evil they had done in the past is now coming back to bite them.
The backlash is not scary, what is scary is the people who have become red-eyed.
This time, they had already forgotten about life and death and were ready for General Wang's revenge afterwards, so they never thought of showing mercy from beginning to end.
People are brave at heart, especially cities like Xianyang which are very close to the border.
In the early years, they suffered a lot from the flames of war, and their lives were surrounded by slaughter and bloodshed. The older generation of elders in Xianyang City all had family members who died in the war with the Western Chu people.
The place that people once swore to defend with their lives has now been given away without a single soldier fighting.
General Wang's behavior angered the public. Even if Chu Er had not added fuel to the fire, something bad would still have happened when Qi Jianshu had time to rectify Xianyang City.
"You take the people's hard-earned money but wantonly trample on our dignity, Wang Youren, you don't deserve to be a member of the Great Zhou!"
General Wang was beaten to death.
Several servants saw that the situation was not right. They were afraid to go forward as General Wang was a lesson for them, but they were also afraid that General Wang would really die and their fate would be even worse.
"Go and call for help!" A sharp-eyed and quick-witted servant nearby quickly nudged his companion.
The servant nearby, who was reminded, almost crawled out, ignoring the pain and only thinking about asking for help from the soldiers on the city wall.
The commotion at General Wang's residence soon alarmed the guards on the city wall and the patrol troops in the city.
The servants called for help and two hundred people came, and dozens of people came on patrol. They had now become rebels, and the people's hatred for General Wang hurt them the most in their hearts that they could not face.
As a result, the situation got completely out of control. In order to suppress the people and prevent chaos, some soldiers drew their swords...
In the melee, the soldier was pointed at by a white-haired old man and called a traitor and a running dog of the Western Chu people. He was so angry that he rushed forward with a knife in his hand.
The sharp sword stabbed in, and when it was pulled out,...the tip of the sword was already flowing with bright red, hot blood.
