The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 100
(Everyone, the plot solicitation post has been opened, the words of the writer at the end of the chapter, and the writer in the comment area, you can participate in the top post!)

"My lord, everyone has been tied up!" Wang Cheng stepped forward to report.

Even without system awareness, Zhao Yanxun knew that Wang Cheng had arrived, so he asked, "Did you hear what was said just now?"

"My lord, I heard everything!" Wang Cheng replied.

"How about giving you a chance to pay off your merits?" Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice.

"Please show me, my lord!" Wang Cheng knew that he had no right to choose at all, and rejecting King Yong would be tantamount to courting death.

"Chop off the head later, and let you handle the punishment!" Zhao Yanxun smiled slightly.

Sure enough, things are not as simple as imagined, this is to put yourself on the fire!

Roasting on the fire is social death, but if you refuse, you will die immediately.

After experiencing Zhao Qianchuan's incident, Wang Cheng knew very well that the two old guys left behind in the capital would never risk disobedience to King Yong to protect themselves.

So after a few breaths of thought, Wang Cheng bowed and said, "I take orders!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "You are a smart man!"

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's praise, Wang Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, and at the moment he could only smile dryly and not speak.

Immediately, Zhao Yanxun turned his eyes to the outside of the city wall. After the system was strengthened, his eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people.

After some searching, he found twenty or thirty zombies outside the city, scattered within one or two hundred meters from the city wall.

It seems that there are a lot of forty or fifty zombies, but the southern city wall is seven or eight miles long, so overall, this number is still rare.

"My lord, it doesn't look like much!" Fang Sheng said.

"There are not many now, but who can guarantee the future? There will be more and more in the future!" Zhao Yanxun sighed.

Not to mention Longyou, there are 13 registered households in Yuanyang Mansion alone, with a population of about 60, and this does not include those black households without household registration.

If the outside of the city falls completely, Yuanyang Mansion alone can produce 60 million zombies.

If you are lucky, these zombies have been scattered everywhere, and the city will be safe for the time being.

But now it seems that this idea is too naive. Since there are zombies gathering here now, there will be more and more gatherings in the future.

These unconscious zombies may be born with the ability to sense popularity, and where the popularity is high, they will go there.

That's why Zhao Yanxun hated these people who went out of the city without permission. Even if these people don't get infected with the virus, they are likely to bring a large number of zombies.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhao Yanxun turned around and asked Wang Chengdao: "After the city was closed two days ago, many people in the city wanted to go out, and many people in the city wanted to come in... Can you answer honestly, how much benefit did you receive during the period?"

The deep meaning of these words is to ask how many people Wang Cheng let in and out when he was guarding the city gate.

With such a small matter today, I almost lost my head like the group of people below. How could Wang Cheng dare to admit it in the first few days.

"Your Majesty has learned that there is nothing you can do except the ministers in charge of the government, and you have not bent the law for personal gain!" Wang Cheng knelt down immediately.

It is said that men have gold under their knees, but for Wang Cheng, as long as he can survive, he doesn't care about the gold.

Zhao Yanxun smiled slightly, and then said: "Really?"

This smile made Wang Cheng shudder, but he still mustered up his courage and did not avoid it.

But at the moment, under the city gate, more than 30 people were tied up, divided into two rows and all knelt in front of the city gate, with guard soldiers behind each of them.

"Old Xu, is it possible that this prince... wants to chop us all off?" Someone asked in a low voice.

This person still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such a question, but there are quite a few people who have the same idea as him.

The old man known as Lao Xu frowned, and replied, "I'm afraid I will suffer a lot!"

"Oh, we are really unlucky, the others have been fine these two days... But we met this prince!"

"Is there any way, let's accept fate... I just hope that after this hard time, the mansion can give me more rewards..."

Things have come to this point, and these people are still thinking about rewarding money, so it can be seen that the disaster of zombies has no weight in their hearts.

And this, to a large extent, is also the mentality of many people in Yuanyang Mansion.

This is ancient times, trying to make people understand the dangers of zombies is tantamount to making modern people believe that Trisolarans will destroy the earth in the next moment.

Maybe gods have the ability to change everyone's world view in a short period of time, but Zhao Yanxun is just an ordinary traveler.

At this moment, a series of horseshoes sounded on the long street.

I saw a series of seven luxurious carriages with different appearances, as if they had discussed it and came quickly. Not surprisingly, these people should be the talkers of each family.

The person sent by the family was detained, and it was detained by Zhao Yanxun himself. If he wants to intercede, at least he must be the head of the family.

When these people rushed to the scene, the stewards and servants who were being escorted and knelt on the ground shouted at their masters for grievances.

The carriages of various prefectures stopped one after another, and the gentlemen in the carriages got off the carriages.

Among these people, almost every family has someone who goes out to be an official, the next-level one has fame but has not been an official, and the last one has elders who have become officials at home.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, these people, as the class of scholar-bureaucrats, are connected with each other, and they have great energy in Yuanyang.

There are dozens of families like this in Yuanyang, and the few who came here are just a small part of them.

After getting off the carriage, these gentlemen ignored the servants of the mansion at all, but walked up the city wall quickly.

"See you, my lord!" Everyone saluted one after another.

Zhao Yanxun turned around, looked at the crowd and said, "You guys are here... Come and have a look outside the city!"

Everyone was a little confused for a while, Zhao Yanxun didn't play the cards according to the routine, but they got up honestly, and then came to the edge of the city wall.

Zhao Yanxun turned around again, pointed at the wandering zombies outside, and said slowly: "Did you see that these man-eating monsters... have appeared outside the city, and you can guarantee that those who leave the city will come back alive?"

"It's okay for them to die outside, but if they bring the monsters outside the city, even if they die... it's not enough to wash away their sins!"

Hearing such a severe reprimand, the several masters present swallowed back what they wanted to say, and at the same time rephrased in their minds.

"My lord, these servants have really committed a big taboo. Thank you, my lord, for arresting them for me. I will go back to the mansion this time... I will definitely punish these bastards severely, and restrain my family's servants so that they will never dare to do it again!"

The person who spoke was Wu Yunsheng, the patriarch of the Wu family. His elder brother was the magistrate in another place.

Among the several families here, the Wu family is the most powerful, so Wu Yunsheng is the one to speak at this moment.

Their Wu family has been transporting a lot of things in and out these days, so although the words are serious, the Wu family will still do it after the news passes.

As long as the protection is proper, it will be as evil as Zhao Yanxun said... Wu Yunsheng thought so.

"Restraining your family's slaves is indeed what you should do when you return home. It's best to talk to other families in Beicheng..."

Having said that, Zhao Yanxun's voice turned cold and said: "But next... I won't bother you to take it back for punishment!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Wang Cheng next to him, and the latter immediately sent the order after he understood.

"The prince has an order to behead all these people!"

Beheading, it turned out to be beheading, King Yong's method is too vicious!
"My lord, why is this..." Wu Yunsheng showed a look of embarrassment.
