Zhou Xuan started speaking and then moved around, saying, "You will truly beco like pigs and dogs. The n, if they don’t keep their heads down, will be slaughtered, and those who are obedient will be sold into forced labor.
The won, if beautiful, will be sent to the brothels, and if not, they’ll be sold to so remote mountain village. I don’t need to elaborate on the rest of their fates."
"But, but, if we don’t leave, Mingjiang Prefecture is going to face a famine!"
"Nonsense."
This ti Zhou Xuan wasn’t stern. Instead, like a teacher reprimanding a naughty student, he gently tapped a paper fan on the head of a vocal citizen and said, "I, Zhou Xuan, have a small business in Mingjiang Prefecture, but I’m also the Young Master of the Zhou Family’s Troupe in Ping Shui Prefecture,
The Taiping Gentlen of Ping Shui Prefecture are also under my control. Zhou Family has a lot of money... I’m telling you unequivocally, at this very mont—tens of thousands of dan of grain from Ping Shui Prefecture have already set out and are being transported to our Mingjiang Prefecture."
"But that old... old bastard said... the railway between Taiping Prefecture and Mingjiang Prefecture is blocked by an abandoned train."
"It’s just a small train, how does it compare to that mountain?"
Zhou Xuan pointed to a mountain not far away and shouted, "Music Master, give the commoners a little spectacle."
The Music Master’s lantern floated nearby. With Zhou Xuan’s instruction, he erged from the lantern and used the ’Divine Power’ to directly lift up the not-so-small mountain.
With the Divine Status, one has Divine Power, capable of moving mountains, stirring winds, controlling water, bringing rain... Without the barrier of Star Covering, the Music Master’s skill was smoothly executed.
Rumble!
The peak seed uprooted and suddenly flew skyward.
Only then did the crowd believe Zhou Xuan’s words, and they began to applaud loudly.
"Mingjiang Prefecture is my ho; I’m not going anywhere."
"Exactly, at ho, we are treated as people, but outside, we’d only be treated like dogs."
"To hell with Jingchuan Prefecture."
Most people’s sentints followed Zhou Xuan, although not everyone thought this way. So people simply didn’t believe, or they thought Zhou Xuan, the Painter, and the Music Master were just deceiving them, tricking them into staying, only to et their end in Mingjiang Prefecture.
Among these skeptics, there were many wealthy individuals.
In tis like these, those who can accumulate large amounts of money tend to have sharp minds, and those with sharp minds tend to not like being controlled.
There were even seven or eight smooth-skinned, clearly wealthy individuals who sneaked onto the train.
Zhou Xuan didn’t stop them. He continued, "I’ve said my piece. If so people are willing to go to Jingchuan Prefecture to beco pigs and dogs, then let them go. But let be clear—the mont you step out of Mingjiang Prefecture, whether you et a tragic end or are sold as a slave, it has nothing to do with , Zhou Xuan, or the God Traveling Departnt."
"I, Zhou Xuan, along with the God Traveling Departnt, want to rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture. We don’t have the extra energy to waste on disobedient people."
"For those of you who still want to board the train, go ahead, I won’t stop you."
Zhou Xuan turned his back.
The vast majority of people chose to believe in Zhou Xuan. They rembered who stood up for them earlier and who saved Mingjiang Prefecture. How could they not believe when their savior had spoken about rebuilding Mingjiang Prefecture?
But dozens of wealthy individuals still didn’t abandon their desire to go to Jingchuan Prefecture to cash in their savings bonds and return to a life of affluence, and they brazenly boarded the train.
"Master, seventy-six people have boarded in total."
The Painter had counted the number clearly and whispered to Zhou Xuan.
"Let them leave."
Zhou Xuan said.
"They... they went out... probably they’ll face nine deaths and one life..."
"To rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture, we need mutual trust between us and the people of Mingjiang. Each disobedient person left here is a potential threat to stir up trouble. Since they’re seeking their own demise, let them, and serve as a cautionary example."
Zhou Xuan said.
"Ah."
The Painter was ready to wave to the Bone Elders who had co to maintain order, signaling them to let the train turn back to where it had co from.
Zhou Xuan raised his hand again, issuing the order, "Bone Elder Association, listen to my command—Mr. Ye and Qi Tiezui, who ca to Mingjiang Prefecture to kill wantonly, quickly enter the train and pull all of Mr. Ye off it, executing them all on the platform to serve as a warning to others!"
"We will follow the Master’s instruction."
The Bone Elders imdiately stread in, killing everyone left on the train, except for the train staff and the passengers of Mingjiang Prefecture, regardless of identity.
"Isn’t the Master a bit too harsh?"
The Music Master laughed awkwardly.
"From now on, this will be the way of Mingjiang Prefecture; if we’re not firm, we’ll be easily bullied," Zhou Xuan said.
On the train, dozens of scarlet blooms erged. After the Bone Elder Association retreated, the Painter raised his hand to let them pass.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
The train conductor, already frightened to the point of wetting his pants, sounded the whistle, and the train’s linkage moved the wheels, gradually picking up speed on the tracks.
The train driver was close to tears, having witnessed such a massacre—those acts of brutality by that handso smiling young man might haunt him for years to co.
As the train started moving, Pan Yongfu clutched the train door railing and waved to Damin, "Damin, co with your second uncle. What happened earlier, your second uncle owes you—once in Jingchuan Prefecture, I’ll treat you like my own son—"
Because of "the eight-thousand-dollar train ticket," Damin had watched helplessly as Qi Tiezui nearly strangled him to death. He had seen through Pan Yongfu’s character. After taking a few steps, he picked up a stone and hurled it at Pan Yongfu, "Get lost... I’m not going anywhere!"
Who saved him and who hard him, having just lived through life and death, Damin had seen it all...
"Woo, woo, woo!"
The train gradually moved away, while Zhou Xuan retrieved the Buddha Country Main Brain from the Secret Realm and ordered, "Little Brain."
"Lord Xuan, I’m here."
The Buddha Country Main Brain had also changed its form of address for Zhou Xuan.
"Go and thoroughly docunt what happens at the train later."
Zhou Xuan said.
The Buddha Country Main Brain has a function to record images.
Zhou Xuan suspected that this train ride was far more than just "earning so easy money off fat sheep" as Qi Tiezui had claid...
