People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 576 An old man stands out as a conspicuous bag

Captain Liu and Wang Dahai had never imagined that at this time, a conspicuous person would appear and stand up to talk to them.

Ah, I was listening from the back just now, but I didn't feel that there was any sincerity in what you said, so I will take the initiative to stand up and express our views on your so-called sincerity.

In fact, Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai have seen this kind of conspicuous bag in many places, but they never thought that they would encounter it here.

After all, they have been in the army before and there are many such people in the army. Because they always think that they are very powerful, they want everyone to know how powerful they are.

So people who keep showing off how great they are are actually very annoying.

But there is nothing you can do about it, because there are such people everywhere, and it cannot be avoided.

But they didn't expect to encounter such a thing after coming here, which made them feel very strange.

I never thought that these people would dare to stand up in such a serious occasion.

Aren't they afraid of death?
You have to know that you are not a good man or a believer now.

His current identity is a soldier who had just led the army to break through their city gate, killed the city lord, and killed so many landlords.

It takes courage to talk to yourself, but they didn't expect that the old man actually had such courage, which made them very strange.

The old man seemed to have seen through this. He laughed and said, "I know the two generals will be very surprised."

When he said this, the Ming soldiers next to him looked at him with a somewhat unfriendly look.

You have to know that they had just won a battle, and explained their position to so many common people and scholars in front of the landlord's door, which could be said to have shocked everyone.

But no one expected there would be a conspicuous bag, especially since such an old man dared to stand out, which made everyone feel very strange.

But I didn't expect that when the old man saw that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, he actually laughed and said, "I know you are looking at me as if I were a madman now, and I also know that I am a madman in your eyes now.

But I hope you can understand that I am so crazy for our Sanfuqi, or for our Mandala City.

You just said that you came here to convince everyone, but I am not convinced in my heart. Why do you want to do this?"

The old man is actually quite angry now.

He was angry because they had always felt that they were also scholars, even though they were old.

But he never forgot how to make his country and his city better, and he always had ambitions in his heart.

He didn't expect that his ambitions had not yet been realized, or rather, he had long passed the age where he could realize his ambitions, but he refused to admit his old age.

Seeing people from the Ming Dynasty here and talking nonsense like this, he was very dissatisfied, so he stood up.

Captain Liu smiled after hearing his words. "So old sir, just tell us what you are dissatisfied with and we can discuss it. If what you say makes sense, we will listen to you. If what you say does not make sense, we will just treat it as bullshit."

Captain Liu's words were so blunt that the old man snorted.

I thought to myself: You are a soldier, you don't know etiquette at all. Although you came from the Central Plains Dynasty, you didn't learn the manners of the Central Plains Dynasty. Talking to a soldier like you is an insult to my identity as a scholar.

However, now he could only swallow his anger, but his little look was seen by Captain Liu and Wang Dahai.

The two looked at each other, although they didn't say anything.

But it seems like everything has been said.

Because they saw disgust in the eyes of the two people.

That's true. What right does this old man have to speak so arrogantly in this place, even though his people have no intention of driving away all the people here or killing them all?

They even wanted to station troops here and turn it into a real colony, but they did not think about it and did not intend to let these people enjoy any privileges with them.

But the old man seemed to be sure that he and his friends had no intention of turning this place into a living hell, so he dared to act so recklessly. However, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai wanted to hear what this man could say.
So he said, "Just tell me what you want."

The old man smiled and said, "I know that the two generals must be disgusted with me now, and think that an old man like me is making irresponsible remarks in this place, but I still want to say it, even if you will kill me in a moment."

This time, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai were indeed a little surprised. They really didn't expect that this old man was really not afraid of death.

Maybe he really had prepared for the worst, so he dared to stand up.

Seeing the looks of Captain Liu and Wang Dahai, the old man nodded and said, "You are right. At first, I was just like everyone else, standing here to watch a show. I thought it was fun and that you Ming Dynasty people would definitely bring us a better life after coming here. You did think of doing this, so I am very pleased. However, there is one thing I cannot agree with."

Before Captain Liu spoke, Wang Dahai spoke up, "Come on, stop talking nonsense. If you have any requests, just say them directly. Don't whine."

Hearing what No. 4 said, the old man laughed and said, "See? This is your attitude. You were talking nicely just now, wanting to make our side better, but now you are impatient when you hear me nagging. This is your attitude, right?" The old man looked kind, but no one expected that the words this bastard said would be so unpleasant. Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai changed their faces immediately. Even the Ming army on the side wanted to take out their knives and stab him to death when they looked at the old man.

You are a little too presumptuous.

But the old man did not show any fear when facing the attitude of the Ming army. He even used his eyes to provoke them. Seeing that everyone was looking at him angrily, he said, "I don't care about life or death anymore. I just want to get a definite answer from you."

Captain Liu, Wang Dahai and the Ming army beside him were all stunned after hearing his words. They really didn't expect that this bastard was so old, but his eyes seemed to be good, and his ability to make people angry to death was not small. So when they heard his words, they looked at him even more displeased.

Now they understood that the old man was not afraid of death, but he thought that they would not kill him, so he was making trouble here. Now everyone had a worse impression of him. If he continued to talk nonsense, they would kill him.

The old man saw that everyone looked at him with displeasure, so he just laughed and said, "I know you must really dislike me now, but I don't need to have any feelings for you.

Since you also said that this is a deal, then we should also have a say in the rules of this deal, instead of relying solely on what you say. This is really unfair."

As soon as they said this, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai looked at each other again. Their eyes told them that this bastard seemed difficult to deal with and was well prepared.

He must have been listening from beginning to end, even though he didn't say a word. He had to wait until the common people and scholars had left before he spoke. He must have had a purpose, and that purpose was to appear so righteous after humiliating Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai.
Even this bastard looks like a scholar at first glance, so he is actually very strategic. He knows that if he can't convince Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai in this place, he will not lose face and can still stand out in other places.

This old guy was quite thoughtful, because he understood that he was actually at a disadvantage, but if he could win this public opinion war in one fell swoop, he might win the respect of many people.

This old man had never done anything earth-shattering in his first half of life, and now he really wanted to take the initiative to do something like this to make everyone look at him with new eyes. However, he was indecisive and thought that if he didn't do this well, he would be scolded or humiliated by others if they knew about it, so he made two preparations.

On the one hand, he knew that there were still some people around who had not left far, especially when they heard him talking, there would definitely be people who would stick their heads out to look.

Captain Liu and Wang Dahai certainly understood what he meant. They looked around and saw that some people had not left far.

Even though I'm some distance away, I can still hear the voices talking here.

Especially this old guy deliberately raised his voice to make himself look more righteous. In fact, he just wanted everyone to hear his voice.

This is exactly what the old man wanted. He wanted to avoid being known to more people and being laughed at if he lost the debate. At the same time, he wanted everyone to know how brave he was to stand up.

What I mean is, you see, I still care about our Mandala City, I still care about us scholars, and I still care about the common people here.

If I succeed, you guys will probably help me spread the word very quickly.

Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai looked at each other, and in fact, they were as clear as a mirror in their hearts. What was the difference between this old guy and those scholars in the Central Plains Dynasty? They all wanted to gain a good reputation. The reason why they did this was because of the little thoughts in most people's hearts.

Scholars have never been able to achieve great things on the battlefield like military generals, so they have no role to play in wars, but they can show their abilities in negotiations.

Just like this old guy, he couldn't really go to the city wall to stop the Ming army from coming in, but at this moment he felt that he could use his verbal sparring to prevent the Ming Dynasty from continuing to erode them.

But he didn't think about it. Did he have the qualifications to stop Shanghao and Wang Dahai? No, but he thought he had, so he stood out and looked at me. He was very proud of those people who were looking around outside.

Sure enough, there were people talking in the corner.

"I really didn't expect that this old man would be so courageous."

"Isn't it? He asked all of us to go away before going to negotiate. Even without our protection, he still had the courage to stand up. It shows that he is a powerful person."

"But why haven't we seen such a powerful person before? Could he be a scholar who lives in seclusion in the mountains? Although I haven't read many books, I have heard of many legends about scholars who like to live in seclusion in the mountains and wait for someone to personally invite them out."

"Is this scholar of that kind?"

Everyone was very confused at this time.

"If he really is that kind of person, then it will be easy to deal with. Maybe he can help us get more good things. To be honest, even though the Ming Dynasty people said so well just now, it doesn't mean they will really do it."

"Then let's take a good look at him from the sidelines. If he really has this ability, I will admire him very much. If he doesn't have this ability, I think he is a great man just because he dared to stand up on his own initiative."

"Yes, yes, that's right. We were all so scared when we stood in front of the Ming Dynasty people. We were terrified when we heard them speak loudly, but they dared to stand up and negotiate. For this reason, I think we have to give them a thumbs up."

At this point, everyone actually agreed with the old guy a little bit, although the old guy didn't hear what these people were saying.

But seeing from a distance the way those evil people were looking at him was really worthy of his words. As a person who has lived for decades, he could tell what those people were talking about at a glance.

Although he couldn't hear it very clearly, he was already very satisfied.

He said in his heart, even if I fail in the negotiations here this time, I will be a real hero. Everyone will only remember that I took the initiative to stand up and negotiate with those people. The Ming Dynasty people were so powerful but they did not scare me. From this point of view, I and my family will benefit greatly in the future.

When he thought of this, the old man couldn't help but smile. When Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai saw this smile, they immediately felt disgusted...
