People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 26 Cutting off the retreat

The longer Xu Chen served as the leader and heavenly master, the more he adapted to the roles.

He didn't even need to be deliberate and pretentious, and before he knew it, he began to possess the ethereal and otherworldly temperament that a charlatan should have. Most of the time, even he himself was unaware of this silent change.

Just as the people saw at this moment, Xu Chen looked inexplicably mysterious, which made them subconsciously feel that he was extraordinary.

In the silent vegetable market, the only sounds could be heard of the so-called "nobles" crying and begging, but these sounds were filtered out by Xu Chen.

Under the gaze of the people, Xu Chen slowly stood up. He faced everyone with a serious expression and a calm tone, and his words carried an inexplicable sense of authority.

"The God of Nature in my teaching says: All human beings are born equal, regardless of high or low status. This is the law of nature and cannot be violated.

Therefore, you should know that no one needs to be nobler than anyone else, and no one needs to be inferior than anyone else. "

When the Yellow Turbans repeated Xu Chen's words loudly to the entire audience, everyone was stunned. No matter whether it was the onlookers or the "nobles" kneeling on the ground, they all looked over with a confused and puzzled look.

The concept that everyone is equal regardless of status is still too advanced for them.

Especially in this era, the aristocratic families are the de facto aristocrats, which makes this concept seem out of place.

Not to mention that the nobles who were kneeling felt puzzled, even the common people themselves felt it was absurd.

Even though the common people are the "lowly" ones, even though they are the oppressed ones, they cannot accept this concept all at once because it conflicts with their perception of the world.

The nobles can read and write, the nobles can hold official positions, and the nobles also have land, so of course they are noble, and of course I am lowly. Isn't this a matter of course?

If I didn’t have a noble person, I wouldn’t even have fields to farm. If I didn’t have a noble person, I wouldn’t even have a place to live. If I didn’t have a noble person, my children wouldn’t even have servants.
One's birth, old age, sickness, death, food, clothing, housing and transportation all depend on the gifts from the nobles. They have given me everything. How can one think of being equal to them? This is totally wrong!
Xu Chen saw everyone's reactions. He knew that it was not so easy to change people's perceptions.

The Yellow Turbans were able to quickly agree with this idea because they were believers. To believers, the words of the gods were naturally correct and there was no need to think about them.

But these people are not believers in the natural way, and they are not able to accept the revelations of "God" like the Yellow Turbans.

However, even if the people cannot agree now, it does not stop Xu Chen from continuing to speak. If he does not spread it, how can he get more believers? Preaching is also a career that needs to be done well.

"Every person is born with the most basic rights bestowed by God, such as the right to life, the right to property, and the right to personal freedom...

And these people have been violating our rights for a long time!"

Having said that, Xu Chen pointed indifferently at the nobles kneeling on the ground. At this moment, he was like a judging god, judging the evil sinners.

The common people looked in the direction he pointed and saw the respectable nobles showing expressions of fear they had never seen before.

When the once inviolable nobles appeared before Xu Chen as sinners, they suddenly felt that something in their hearts was broken.

It seemed that all of a sudden, the nobles were not so noble in their eyes.

"They are the ones who have seized our land, usurped our freedom, and exploited our labor!
At the beginning of chaos, the earth had no owner, and the land was shared by all people in the world, and no one could claim it as their own!

But today, they steal everything through deception and violence, and then use it to enslave and oppress us.

The food we grow with great efforts has to be handed over to them, our children and relatives have to be enslaved by them, and the body given to us by God has never belonged to us.

The world should understand that they have never given us anything. If they have, they have only given us suffering!" When Xu Chen's words once again floated throughout the vegetable market, the people present seemed to hear the sound of a huge bell, as if a spiritual light floated into their minds.

They seemed to understand something vaguely, but couldn't put it into words for a moment.

They looked at Xu Chen and saw only compassion on his face, which made them feel sympathetic.

They looked at the nobles again, only to see that they looked terrified, which made them silent.

Xu Chen was not in a hurry to make the people believe him right now. By spreading these things, he was just planting a seed, and that was enough.

Sooner or later, they will figure it out on their own, and at that time, they will naturally become believers of the natural way.

Now, he was finally going to make the final judgment on the nobles.

“They violated the personality and rights given to us by the God of Nature. They were born with original sin and are unclean.

Today, I will punish the sinners here according to the natural law. Those who are punished will be punished, and those who are killed will die!"

As Xu Chen's cold verdict came down, everyone present was shocked.

They saw hundreds of Yellow Turbans walking to the middle, each of them standing beside a "noble man", then drawing their long swords and waiting quietly.

The sunlight reflected, the sword gleamed, and the solemn atmosphere made all the onlookers shrink their necks.

The nobles felt that their fateful moment had come, and they began to howl even more frantically. They made fierce threats, they resigned themselves to their fate and cursed, and they begged for their lives humbly.

In the end, Xu Chen just threw down two words lightly without a trace of emotion.

"Execution!"

The Yellow Turbans responded loudly, and then their expressions became excited. They were very enthusiastic about killing nobles.

They trampled every noble person under their feet, and then began to wave their long swords in their hands. Although they were rough, they were able to use exquisiteness that was rare in their lives when carrying out torture.

All the nobles were not spared and they screamed miserably under the torture.

It was not until the punishment was over after a long while that they all became listless, and by this time it was time for the final beheading.

Except for a small number of people whose crimes did not deserve the death penalty, all the other nobles had their heads rolled down under the cold light, and deathly silence lingered in the entire county.

When the common people saw the human heads scattered all over the ground, they did not feel horrified or frightened. Instead, they thought that the nobleman's head was actually very ugly...

Xu Chen's eyes were cold, he knew that with this chop today, he had completely drawn a line between himself and the aristocratic families of the world, and from now on he would have no way back.

However, he had already prepared himself mentally for this.

After the nobleman had dealt with everything, Xu Chen did not rest, but continued to work on the next task.

"Bring here all those who violated the rules in our army last night!"
