At the entrance of Zhaojiazhuang, on a newly built high platform.
Yun Yi stood there with his hands behind his back, menacingly. Below stood a huge group of people. There were refugees and residents of Zhaojiazhuang but they were easy to distinguish.
Most residents of Zhaojiazhuang were neatly dressed and had clean faces while the refugees were ragged and dusty. But compared to the lifeless state when they first came to Zhaojiazhuang, the refugees now were obviously much more energetic.
Their eyes were also full of hope for the future.
But at this moment, they all looked angrily at the criminal who had collapsed on the high platform.
Although they were all refugees who were forced to leave their homes due to desperation, they had never thought of committing crimes. This guy was simply not a human being!
The criminal had already fainted from fear.
Unfortunately, Yun Yi would not let him off that easily. He must be awake to accept the trial.
Then, a villager of Zhaojiazhuang came up to the platform with a basin of water and slashed it on the criminals from head to toe.
The chill penetrated his bones and the criminal also woke up instantly. Seeing him wake up, Yun Yi grabbed him and brought him to the edge of the platform:k
"Do you all understand his crime?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone below shouted:
"Yeah! He deserves death!"
"That's right, kill him!"
Yun Yi nodded and continued:
"You are right, he deserves death, so I will judge him next."
Then, he turned his head to look at the criminal and asked:
"Gong Su Nu, for your attempted to r*** , do you plead guilty?"
The criminal looked at the angry crowd below the platform. He looked ashen, but the last bit of desire to survive in his heart still made him shout:
"I know I was wrong, please I'm sorry!"
"I have old parents and young children."
"I am willing to make amends. I-I am willing to be her slave for the rest of my life. Please don't kill me!!~"
However, Yun Yi shook his head and ignored his pleas. He knew to repent before he died.
But what kind of repentance is this? It's just fear of death.
"Since you plead guilty, I will declare your judgment on behalf of the heavens, your punishment is death by thunder, you will be smitened down immediately!"
Actually, if this was in the future. This person's crime would not be punishable by death, at most he will be imprisoned for ten or so years and then be released.
But now it is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. People have a low tolerance for such things as defile. And he is the first person to commit a crime among the refugees. Only by killing the chicken to scare the monkey can it deter others.
Anyway, Yun Yi took out the trident from his backpack. Then he raised it high to accumulate power. Except for the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang who had seen this scene not long ago, the refugees under the high platform all stared with their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief.
Where did the trident come from? Could it be that... the rumors of Zhaojiazhuang are all true? Are there really gods here? Countless refugees who have heard about the gods in Zhaojiazhuang all looked at Yun Yi with anticipation.
Finally, Yun Yid' trident had accumulated strength to the extreme. The sky, which was originally clear, began to faintly echo the sound of thunder.
Looking up, you can vaguely see lightning streaks flashing in the sky. The next moment, Yun Yi threw the trident at the position of the criminal with all his strength.
The trident hit the criminal's lower body and was embedded in the wood under him.
"AHHH!!!!~"
The criminal screamed in excruciating pain, and the severe pain almost made him faint.
However, before he fainted, a waist-thick lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck the criminal right on the body.
BOOM!!!~
With a deafening bang, the platform was blown to pieces. Fortunately, Yun Yi was prepared. He quickly placed a dirt block under his feet.
After the thunder struck, not only was the platform blown up, it also blasted a two-meter-diameter pit. At the bottom of the pit was a corpse whose human shape could no longer be seen. It seems he needs a stronger [Channeling] enchantment to completely turn someone to ash.
Seeing a thunderbolt suddenly fall from the clear sky and thinking of the thunder punishment Yun Yi had mentioned. The refugees in the audience could no longer bear it. God! This is definitely a real god! They didn't expect that the trial would be presided over by the god himself!
Everyone knelt on the ground trembling .They didn't dare to raise their heads for fear of offending the god.
Gao Shun, who saw this scene, also widened his eyes. The excitement in his heart was beyond words. Brother Dian Wei was not lying to me. There really is a god in Zhaojiazhuang!
However, remembering his previous reckless behavior... he dared not think of what would happen if the god had been offended. At the same time, he felt that his previous thoughts were a bit ridiculous. You can't judge a person by appearance, and you can't measure the sea by a bucket. Even mortals are like this. What about gods?
The Gods riding pigs was just playing in the world and he thought it was ridiculous. Thinking of this, Gao Shun's heart darkened. He suddenly felt that his future was bleak.
At the same time, outside Zhaojiazhuang. The Gao family also looked at the direction of Zhaojiazhuang from a distance waiting for news from Gao Shun.
However, at this moment, a huge bolt of pure white lightning cut through the sky and landed in Zhaojiazhuang. They were all startled, and then looked at Gao Ping in unison.
"Chief, what's going on? Did someone in Zhaojiazhuang anger the heavens?"
"T-The thunder appeared on a clear day!"
"Why hasn't Gao Shun come back yet? What happened in Zhaojiazhuang?!"
Gao Ping took a deep breath, his face solemn:
"Stop panicking! Let's wait a little longer, Gao Shun will be back soon."
After a long time, the refugees in the audience slowly came to their senses. But when they looked up, they saw Yun Yi standing on the dirt block suspended in the air, unmoving.
They were even more awed in their hearts. Yun Yi saw that the deterrent effect was almost there, so he said loudly:
"Get up!"
"The heavens' punishments are only for the wicked, if anyone dared to doubt my words. Remember what happened to this sinner on this very day!"
"From today on, Zhaojiazhuang will set up a public security bureau to manage all public security issues inside and outside the village.
"If you have grievances or encounter someone committing crimes, you can report to the public security bureau."
"No matter how big or small, the public security bureau will be handled properly."
"Zhao Yun, step forward!"
Zhao Yun, who was in the audience, had been reminded of this matter by Zhao An. So when he heard Yun Yi's call, he hurriedly stepped forward. Still, he was quite intimidated by the current Yun Yi. Usually the god was easy going, he had never seen him this serious before.
"Lord God, I'm here."
Yun Yi nodded slightly: "From today on, you will serve as the director of the public security bureau, responsible for all public security issues inside and outside the village."
"Remember to do your best to protect the safety of the village, and don't let me down.
Zhao Yun nodded excitedly and shouted: "Yes, Yun will definitely live up to the expectations of the gods!"
Afterwards, Yun Yi jumped down directly from the dirt block. The position given to Zhao An was also responsible for the work-for-relief.
Zhao An came to the crowd and said loudly: "Since everyone has seen it, I will not hide it."
"The lord is a god from the heavens."
"He has descended to this world to bring salvation to those in need!"
"But not everyone deserves to be saved. Only those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue are qualified."
"if you do evil, you will not get salvation but instead, will be punished by the heavens!"
Zhao An talked freely. Not only did he promote a wave of ideology, but he also consolidated the deterrent effect.
Then, while the effect of thunder was still there, Zhao An proposed the decision of work-for-relief in front of all the refugees. All refugees who come to Zhaojiazhuang could get a bowl of sweet porridge for free to fill their stomachs.
But if they want to continue to get food, they must participate in labor. Adults mainly dig ditches and build water conservancy projects. One day's work can earn one and a half kilograms of grain and one kilogram of non-staple food.
Women on the other hand aren't fit for physical labor so they can do easy and simple work. For example, weaving straw shoes, weaving cloth, embroidering, etc. One day's work can earn one kilogram of grain and one kilogram of non-staple food.
As for children, as long as they are under sixteen years old, they can get one kilogram of grain and one kilogram of non-staple food every day.
If they are over sixteen years old, they are considered an adult and naturally need to participate in labor to get food. The refugees had no objection to the decision to use work instead of relief.
All of them agreed. On one hand, Yun Yi's thunder was intimidating. Those who dared to object had to weigh whether their bodies were stronger than thunder. On the other hand, they were just grateful for the food they received.
They were refugees with nowhere to go and it was already very good that Zhaojiazhuang could give them food. They didn't dare to ask for more.
While Zhao An was running his mouth,Yun Yi looked at Gao Shun and asked him with a smile:
"So, do you think I am a god or a charlatan?"
Gao Shun was so scared that his legs wobbled. He took a deep breath and suppressed his panic:
"God, I, Gao Shun, have offended you. I don't know any way to express my apology. I can only die to apologize."
As soon as he said that, Gao Shun drew his sword from his waist then slashed his neck without hesitation. In a flash, blood spurted everywhere.
Zhao Yun, who was still immersed in the joy of being appointed as the director of the Public Security Bureau, was shocked. Yun Yi on the other hand had a slack jaw. This kid is really ruthless, and maybe a bit extra.
In addition to Gao Shun, who was a beast who broke into battle even with his life hanging by a thread, how many people can be as decisive as him?
In history, Gao Shun was captured by Cao Cao bht he killed himself on the spot. Looking at the entire Lu Bu faction, there are only him and Chen Gong.
You know, with Gao Shun's talent, as long as he said surrender. Cao Cao would take him in with open arms without any repercussions. But he didn't surrender, if he was going to die he would die with honor!
Yun Yi shook his head helplessly. He stepped forward and supported the limp Gao Shun. Then he took out the milk and fed it to him. Fortunately, as long as he is not dead, even if he only has one last breath. Milk can save him.
After drinking the milk, the blood line sword mark on Gao Shun's neck is healing quickly. After a while, the sword mark had scabbed then healed without a trace.
Because a lot of blood was loss when he just committed suicide, Gao Shun's face was pale.
He looked at Yun Yi weakly:
"Lord God, why did you save me?"
Yun Yi looked at him and asked:
"Don't worry about why I saved you, just tell me if you owe me two lives?"
Gao Shun was dazed, not quite understanding what Yun Yi meant. But after thinking about it carefully, it really seems that he did owe God two lives. One life for offending the God and one life for committing suicide to be saved.
He stammered and nodded:
"Yes."
Yun Yi patted his shoulder:
"Since you owe me two lives, from now on, your life belongs to me."
"So stop commiting suicide without my permission, understand?"
Hearing this, Gao Shun froze on the spot.
He is not a fool, he has understood the meaning of Yun Yi's words.
Not only did the god forgive my mistakes, but he was also willing to accept me under his command? Gao Shun was so excited that his already weak body almost fainted. Fortunately, he held on:
"M-My Lord, I..."
Yun Yi waved his hand and said coldly:
"Don't say that you can't repay me, just listen to my orders from now on. "
"Remember, you owe me your life. Even if you face dangers in the future, try to save your life. I don't want you to die without my consent."
"My relationship with the ghosts and gods in the underworld are not good! If you die without permission, I may not be able to bring you back."
Gao Shun nodded quickly:
"Gao Shun obeys!"
With the effect of milk and MC food. Yun Yi has the confidence to save them. But he is not worried about others. He is only worried about Gao Shun. Gao Shun is too ruthless!
If he encounters danger, he would rather fight to the death to prove himself. Then Yun Yi won't be able to do anything, there is no means to revive the dead in MC.
Mmm? Wait. What about a respawn anchor? Yun Yi suddenly remembered an item that is not often used in MC.
In the game, the spawn anchor can only be used by Steve, and can only be placed in the netherworld.
He wonders if the respawn anchor can be used by other people after coming to reality. If it can be used by other people, that would be great!
He can do whatever he wants!
'It seems that i need to speed up getting to the nether."' Yun Yi thought.
Although theoretically, you can't mine obsidian without a diamond pickaxe and can't create a nether portal without obsidian. But this is only in theory. In reality, you can use bugs.
Because in MC, in addition to digging deep underground for obsidian. You can also use lava to pour on infinite water blocks to get obsidian.
So, If you use this feature to mold the obsidian to create a portal or you can just make a huge obsidian wall then hollow out the required shape before using flint and steel to light it up.
Also, magma is actually not difficult to obtain.
Generally speaking, as long as you keep digging down in reality, you will find it.
However, the underground in reality is much more vast than in the game. If he finds the wrong location then he will have to dig to the mantle layer to find magma.
That is already dozens of kilometers underground. So the best way is to find an active or inactive volcano and dig down, especially active volcanoes.
After talking about the work-for-relief program, Zhao An arranged for someone to register the family information of the refugees present. Then, he strode towards Yun Yi. However, after seeing the bloody scene, Zhao An wondered, 'What the hell happened? Why is there so much blood everywhere?'
The human heart beats very strongly.
If the carotid artery is cut when slitting the throat, the blood can instantly spurt several meters high.
Gao Shun was lucky that Yun Yi saved him with milk in time. Otherwise, with the heart's ability to pump blood so strong, he would bleed to death in a short time.
Zhao Yun hurriedly explained to Zhao An what had just happened. Zhao An looked at Gao Shun. For a moment, he didn't know whether to say he was stupid or upright.
But putting that aside, he still admired Gao Shun's character. Because there is a great terror between life and death, even if ordinary people are mentally prepared, they will hesitate when they really commit suicide.
Not everyone can be as decisive as Gao Shun.
This also shows that this young man is not an ordinary person. Even if he does not follow the god, as long as he does not die, he will definitely achieve great things in the future.
Yun Yi took out a piece of cooked fish from his inventory and threw it to Gao Shun.
"Eat some of this to replenish your blood."
"Replenish...blood?" Gao Shun asked in confusion.
Zhao Yun on the side helped explain:
"It's qi and blood, this is a good thing, you just bled out so much blood when you committed suicide, but as long as you eat it, you can replenish it all."
So magical? Gao Shun's eyes widened. No longer hesitated, he took the cooked fish and ate it in big mouthfuls.
While Gao Shun was eating, Yun Yi asked Zhao An casually:
"By the way, the criminal kept saying that he has parents and child, where are they?"
Zhao An shook his head:
"Oh, My Lord, that person was trying to gain sympathy and beg us to forgive him before he died."
"He said the same thing when we first caught him."
"I had even gone to ask the neighbors who had fled to Zhaojiazhuang with him."
"Then all said that he was lying."
"Last year, when there was a drought, he robbed his parents of their last rations and starved them to death at home."
"At the beginning of this year, his wife couldn't stand his temper and ran away."
"But he does have a child, not very old, just over three years old."
"But just a month ago, he couldn't stand the hunger, so he sold the child with someone else and ate the child."
Yun Yi frowned deeply, this bastard was really a beast! It seems anyone will say anything just to live a bit longer.
Yun Yi suddenly realized a problem and asked: "Are there many people exchanging their children for food now?"
Zhao An was silent for a while before saying: "There's … quite a lot."
After all, not all people have thousands of acres of fertile land like Zhaojiazhuang. Most people make a living by being tenant farmers for landlords.
Once the landlords don't want them anymore, they don't have their own land and their surplus food is insufficient. They can only be forced to become homeless and look for other ways to survive.
Although people with their own land are slightly better off, when they can't survive, they can still sell their land in exchange for some life-saving food. But how could those greedy landlords pay high prices for farmland in such a famine year?
They would certainly try to lower the price as much as possible. The fertile land that was originally worth a lot of money might only be exchanged for a few bags of grain in the end.
So they couldn't hold on for long and would be forced to become homeless like other refugees...
Yun Yi also sighed. It's not their fault. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are coming one after another. The common people just want to survive.
It's essentially due to the uneven distribution of society. The top aristocratic families occupy more than 70% of the land in the world. The middle-level local tycoons occupy 20% of the land in the world.
The hundreds of millions of common people at the bottom share less than 10% of the remaining land. So the aristocratic families are arrogant and extravagant, while the local tycoons enjoy comfort and pleasure. Only the ordinary people suffer.
"Take in more refugees. For every one we take in, one person will suffer less."
Yun Yi patted Zhao An on the shoulder and added, "Don't worry. I will always support you"
Zhao An nodded:
"My Lord, our Zhao family will do our best to save the people, even if it means death."
Yun Yi nodded slightly and said nothing more. Luckily, he traveled through time to the fifth year of Guanghe (182). The current population of the people is still nearly 60 million.
If he traveled through time to the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, the population of the entire China land was less than 8 million.
From nearly 60 million in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to less than 8 million in the Three Kingdoms period. You can imagine how miserable the people of the Han Dynasty have lived in these years.
After a few deep breaths, Yun Yi's mood finally improved a little. After eating the cooked fish, Gao Shun's satiety was replenished, and the blood on his face turned from pale to rosy.
Yun Yi turned his head and asked Gao Shun:
"By the way, you said you brought back news about Dian Wei?"
Gao Shun nodded and immediately told him all about his relationship with Dian Wei and Chu Yan and how they killed the bandits together.
Yun Yi thought:
"So you decided to come here because of what Dian Wei said?"
Gao Shun nodded quickly:
"Yes, our group brought twelve Sihequ horses, twenty horse hides and more than ten thousand pieces of horse meat."
"Brother Dian Wei said to give it to you. "
Zhao An, who was standing by, heard the data.
His eyes lit up. More than 10,000 kilograms of meat. This is enough for all the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang and the more than 1,000 refugees to eat for a month.
The key is that there are 12 Hequ horses.
Hequ horses are all high-quality war horses.
They are different from the few ordinary horses raised in Zhaojiazhuang.
Yun Yi said:
"Since it is sent by Dian Wei, I will accept it."
"Zhaojiazhuang is in urgent need of all kinds of talents now, you came at the right time."
Gao Shun grinned:
"Lord God, my family is still outside the villagers, I need to inform them."
Seeing Yun Yi nod in agreement, he trotted all the way out of the village.
"Why hasn't Gao Shun come back yet?"
"I don't know, Gao Shun won't have any accidents, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Dian Wei'en said that the gods live in Zhaojiazhuang, but how can gods be so easy to see? I guess Gao Shun should be trying to find a way to meet the gods."
"That makes sense."
Gao Ping coughed lightly:
"Everyone wait a little longer. If Gao Shun hasn't come back by nighttime, we will camp out here for the night."
"If Gao Shun didn't see the gods, he should come back to tell us by then."
One of the Gao family members asked:
"Patriarch, what if Gao Shun doesn't come back?"
Gao Ping was silent for a while and said: "Then I will go and ask in person."
Not long after that was said, they saw a silhouette not far away coming towards them. They didn't know who it was but they weren't familiar with Gao Shun's figure.
"Gao Shun is back!"
"He must have brought back good news."
"It must be good news. Look at how he's running so fast, he hasn't done that in so long."
Amid the hearty laughter of everyone, Gao Shun came to the Gao family. "Grandpa, uncles, what are you laughing at?"
Gao Ping used his cane to gently tap the people who laughed the loudest. "Control yourselves."
Then he turned to Gao Shun and said: "They bet that you brought back good news."
Gao Shun's mouth corners slightly raised, and the smile on his face could not be hidden. "It seems that the uncles guessed it right. It is indeed good news."
"I met the god, and he also said that he is willing to take us in."
As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the Gao family laughed.
"By the way, what does the god look like?"
"And what about the thunderbolt just now?"
"That's right, what did you encounter when you entered Zhaojiazhuang before?"
Everyone talked at the same time, and Gao Shun didn't know who to answer and quickly waved his hand:
"Uncles, please, one at a time"
The Gao family nodded and took turns asking Gao Shun. Gao Shun also patiently answered their various questions. He also told them everything he encountered after entering Zhaojiazhuang. Even including the offense against Yun Yi and his own suicide.
The Gao family's expressions were like the four seasons, they kept changing.
After listening, Gal Ping patted Gao Shun on the shoulder:
"You have won the appreciation of the god with your actions."
"But you must not be arrogant because of your favor, understand?"
Gao Shun nodded solemnly, his face full of seriousness:
"Grandpa, I know."
Gao Ping nodded slightly, and waved his hand to the Gao family behind him:
"Let's go, there's no need to stay here anymore."
The Gao family followed Gao Shun, leading the horses and dragging the carts into Zhaojiazhuang. Passing by everywhere is also - introducing to their own clansmen. Seeing the long queue of refugees.
"These are refugees who are desperate like us and have come here for refuge."
The Gao family looked at those people, they couldn't help but feel lucky. If they hadn't met Dian Wei and Chu Yan, they wouldn't even have a body left.
Continuing forward, Gao Shun pointed to the place where many people squatted on the ground to drink porridge and said:
"That's the porridge stall. After the refugees register their information, they can get a bowl of sweet porridge."
"Sweet porridge?"
"Yes, the kind of sweet porridge with sugar in it."
Hearing this, the Gao family wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths. For a moment, they even wanted to go and get a bowl themselves. Fortunately, they had filled their stomachs before coming in and were not hungry, so they held back.
Not far ahead, they saw a deep pit full of charred black. Gao Shun immediately said:
"This is where the thunderbolt that you saw outside the village fell."
"This thunderbolt was summoned by the god."
"Did you see the charred black in the deep pit? It was originally a person."
What? That was a person? The Gao family looked at the deep pit carefully. But they couldn't tell that the charred black in the deep pit was... a person.
Gao Shun took a deep breath and said:
"I saw it with my own eyes."
"The thunder struck the person and then he turned into this."
"And this was actually a small temporary platform."
"But it couldn't withstand the power of thunder and was shattered into countless fragments."
"If you look around, you can probably find these fragments."
After the trial, Yun and Zhao An did not arrange for anyone to clean up here. The purpose is to leave this trace. After all, there will be more refugees joining later.
It is impossible for Yun Yi to conduct a thunder trial every once in a while so the best way is to leave traces here. In this way, when refugees join Zhaojiazhuang in the future, they will be in awe when they see the traces here.
Thus, they will restrain their behavior. When the Gao family saw the scene here, they were shocked and speechless.
It was too terrifying! The power of thunder and lightning is a power that only heaven can control. They put themselves in the shoes of the person. They found that if they were struck by thunder in the sky, it would be almost impossible to survive.
Moreover, those killed by thunder will have their souls scattered and will not enter reincarnation. They shivered just thinking about it and promised never to be an evildoer.
