Fast Travel: Being a Cannon Fodder Heroine Was Spoiled

Chapter 73
The Wan family declined from generation to generation. In the end, only he, his parents, and his family were left in the once huge family. The family assets were only a few acres of Susukida, and they were overwhelmed by corvee taxes.

It can be said that Wan Qi is a person who has truly experienced the sufferings of the world, experienced the lives of the common people, and has pity for the common people.

Although the Wan family was down and out just like common people, it was a family that had been a family. They had nothing left, and their children never let go of their studies. No matter how poor they were, the family's collection of books was never sold.

Wan Qi knows that the only way to change his destiny is to become an official, but now he seems like an ordinary citizen, if he wants to be an official, he can only join the family, so Wan Qi actively seeks ways to contact the family while studying.

Wan Qi is not as lofty as a scholar. He studies to become an official, to stand out, and to realize his ambition.

Therefore, Wan Qi didn't have any reluctance in trying to please the aristocratic family.

In order to prove his ability, Wan Qi also worked hard to make a name for himself everywhere, and finally gained a reputation as a rare talent.

In this way, Wan Qi finally got his wish and was favored by the Li family of Nanzezhou, and was raised by the Li family.

Sure enough, with the support of the Li family, Wan Qi's promotion path went very smoothly. He was recommended to be an official and was promoted frequently. Before he was 30, he became the magistrate of Nanzezhou.

But the aristocratic family made him and restrained him. What Wan Qi wanted was to be an official who made decisions for the people. Of course, Wan Qi never thought of being an official who was so upright that he was out of tune with the aristocratic family.

What he thinks is that he should be more tactful, greedy for money and not greedy for the people, greedy for rich landlords and businessmen, please the superiors, be kind to the subordinates, make life easier for the people under the rule, at least don’t go hungry in a good year, and don’t suffer from disasters Nian's family was ruined.

Wan Qi didn't want to live a poor life, and he didn't want to have no conscience, he just wanted to be an official who was worthy of his conscience, but not a gentleman, his character didn't need to be perfect, and flaws didn't matter.

But Wan Qi didn't expect that even such an idea would be impossible to realize. As an official trained by the family, all his policies must be reviewed by the family, and every step he takes must not go against the family's will.

And the aristocratic family didn't feel that the oppression of the people was enough. Wan Qi could bear it at first, but his conscience made him unable to bear it. He once thought about changing, but the result was that he was warned and suppressed. To protect himself, he could only keep silent.

Wan Qi is afraid of death, and he doesn't think it's wrong for him to be greedy for life and fear death, but he really hopes that the four great families in Nanzezhou can be eradicated and the people can breathe.

Originally, Wan Qi thought that his idea would never come true, until Zhao Yanhuan, Nan Ze Jun, appeared, Wan Qi saw the opportunity to eradicate the family and change everything.

In particular, Zhao Yanhuan's emphasis on the common people gave Wan Qi an extremely strong sense of identification with her.

However, Wan Qi still didn't rush to seek refuge, but kept watching.

Although he was very satisfied with Zhao Yanhuan, he was worried that Zhao Yanhuan only wanted to suppress the four great families in Nanzezhou, not to eradicate them.

Who knew that before he waited and watched for a long time, Zhao Yanhuan, the Nanze Lord, simply and neatly attacked the Lu family, when he felt that Zhao Yanhuan was busy with the epidemic and it was impossible to clean up the family.

Wan Qi was very excited, he immediately chose to surrender to Zhao Yanhuan, and sent Zhao Yanhuan all kinds of criminal evidence from the Bai family, the Jin family, and the Li family.

Because the Lu family had already been attacked, Zhao Yanhuan decided to deal with the members of the Lu family first, freeing up his hands to deal with the remaining three families, so that when the plague ended, the four great families would also end.

When Wan Qi read out the various crimes against the Lu family, the onlookers and those parents who had lost their children and got the news came to look for their children, only to see a pile of bones head-on, and the parents who fainted several times after being stimulated were all in pain. Scold the Lu family.

At first it was just scolding, but after a child had been lost for several years, the mother who had probably turned into bones was too excited, picked up a few stones at random, and threw them at the bound Lu family members and Taoist priests.

After the mother started, the other onlookers seemed to be reminded, and they began to pick up stones and throw them on the Lu family members and Taoist priests who were tied to the execution platform.

The guarding soldiers pretended not to see it, but secretly raised their feet together, and kicked the bound Lu family members and Taoist priests to the edge of the execution platform, so that they could be more fully exposed to the angry people.

The scene became chaotic in an instant, Wan Qi stood on the top and pretended to shout twice, and the soldiers randomly picked and pulled the civilians twice, which was regarded as maintaining order.

There are countless stones under the stage, not endless, and soon there will be no more stones, and then the people will look for rotten vegetables and leaves, branches and leaves, and throw anything at these people without a teacher.

Soon, another couple arrived, and they found their children, but unfortunately, their son and daughter were all dead, and they died in a very miserable way, with their stomachs disemboweled and their internal organs gone.

The couple passed out on the spot, and were finally rescued by the well-meaning onlookers who pinched them. The couple held a child each, and uttered terrific cries that did not resemble human voices.

After crying for a while, the couple stood up again and rushed directly to the execution platform.

The soldier who was guarding the steps of the execution platform hesitated for a moment. The couple had hatred on their faces. It was obvious that they wanted to take revenge with their own hands. If they went up, it would definitely disrupt the execution process.

But if these two people were not allowed to go up, the two soldiers still couldn't bear it. Their children were all killed. Couldn't the parents beat the murderer to vent their anger?

Just when the two soldiers were hesitating, Wan Qi on the high platform found the couple, and also saw the common people far away who were about to move.

Wan Qi came over in a hurry and loudly comforted the people: "Fellow folks, I know you are very angry and very sad. Many of you have been bullied by the Lu family, and many of your lost children are probably killed by the Lu family."

"I can understand your feelings, and I understand your desire to take revenge with your own hands, but you beat up and killed these enemies, but will this relieve your anger?"

"They have done all the evil things, but the end result is just being beaten to death. How much more suffering can they suffer, let them be beaten to death so simply, can you really relieve your anger? Do you really think it is enough? Can you dispel it? Do you have hatred in your heart?"

After Wan Qi asked a few words, the people were silent. Although when they were angry, they wanted to kill these wicked people to express their anger, but they hesitated when Wan Qi asked.

Some of the victim’s parents said, “You’re right, beating them to death is painful, but they die after a while of pain. They don’t know anything about death, but it relieves them.”

"Yes, you can't beat them to death. It's too cheap for them. You have to torture them severely."

"It's too cheap to die, let them live and suffer torture!"
