Faced with the imperial guards, most of the common people were afraid and cowardly, but human beings will die for riches, just as birds will for food. When someone takes the lead in releasing the evil monster in their hearts, others will not be afraid, and simply follow suit.
So what?
What if they succeed?
What if the emperor does not punish them?
The law does not blame the crowd, so many of them have robbed the pearls, and the emperor can't behead them all, right?
Moreover, others have picked it up, if they don’t pick it up, and the emperor doesn’t punish them, or if they secretly hide a few, then won't it be their loss?
Anyway, they were already here, and many people robbing. Even if they don’t rob, no one will know. Maybe, they didn't get any benefit but, they will still be punished. Instead of that, they might as well follow along to rob, so as not to suffer in vain.
Yes, they will suffer in vain. If they don’t grab it, they will suffer a loss. In order not to suffer a loss——just go for it! Grab grab grab! Run, run, run!
Under such psychological effects, even though the onlookers didn’t have the idea of rushing up to grab it at first, they finally couldn’t help rushing up after seeing others rushing up and grabbing a few pearls.
Everyone was grabbing, if they don’t grab it, wouldn’t that be a disadvantage?
If they grab it, they will make a profit. If they don’t grab it, they will suffer a big loss. Isn't that stupid?
"Grab it, grab it!"
The onlookers originally had fantasies in their hearts, fantasizing about how good these gold, silver, and jewels would be if they were their own.
"A lot of pearls, a lot of pearls, hahaha, I grabbed three, a full three. Take it, take some more."
"I also snatched gold bricks. They really are gold bricks. Look, they are gold bricks."
"Grab it, grab it, grab it quickly. Grab some gold, silver, and jewels. Who knows where Xiao Wangye took them? If you don't grab them, you will lose."
"There may be my money in it. So I'm not robbing, I'm just getting back my share."
"A lot, there's a lot!"
Both sides were crowded with countless spectators. As soon as the looting happened, the others also joined in the robbers. The Imperial Guards reacted immediately and raised their spears to stab the robbers: "Stop, stop! I said stop!"
The pearls scattered on the ground and rolled randomly. Most of them rolled to both sides of the road, and the people watching picked them up without breaking through the defense line of the imperial army.
The Imperial Guards still guarded the jewels on the carriage and did not dare to rush into the crowd, so they could only shout from the side: "Stop, I tell you to stop, if you don't stop, you will be killed!" contemporary romance
"Have you heard that, stop quickly! These belong to the imperial court. You dare to steal the imperial court's things? Have you eaten the gall of leopards?"
It was just a pity, no matter how loudly or seriously the Imperial Guards speaks, the frenzied people didn't pay attention to it. A few bold people even attack the defending Imperial Guards so that they can rush to the middle to pick it up.
*Puchi* The persuasion was ineffective. The Imperial Guards directly shot and killed the crazy people. The Imperial Guard's spear pierced the target's stomach, pulled it out, and the warm blood rushed out, splashing on the faces of the other people who were rushing, but… …
It didn't stop their actions, but stimulated them even more: "Kill, they're killing people!"
"Run, run!"
"No, no, I only picked up one, and there are still many more in the carriage, I have to pick up another one before leaving."
"Stop them, don't let them rush."
"We fight, we fight with the imperial army. There are so many pearls in the carriage. If we fight the Imperial Guards, we can grab some more."
"We have a lot of people, we can fight them. I will hold back these bad guys. You guys hurry up and grab it!"
"There in that carriage, there are many more in that carriage, grab it, grab it!"
Chaos, constant chaos, it was too chaotic that no one can stop it!
Under the guidance of someone with a heart and the temptation of huge benefits, the onlookers lost their minds and rushed forward one by one to fight with the imperial guards, robbing the gold and silver jewels on the carriage and picking up the gold and silver jewels scattered on the ground.
After grabbing one, it was still not enough. People want more and more… …
The onlookers in the front and rear saw that others were going to snatch the jewels from the carriage, so they didn't hesitate anymore. With their blood rushing to their brains, they made a move that made them regret for the rest of their lives—to attack the imperial army and take the initiative to rob!
The onlookers wanted to rob, and the Imperial Guards naturally wanted to protect the treasures. A bloody battle without warning began. The imperial guards all had weapons in their hands, and each of them was well-trained, but there were a large number of people onlookers. No one stop the fight, only more and more blood was shed, and more and more people died.
"The official sentry is coming soon, after grabbing them, run away. There are so many of us, they can't find us all, run, run!" The looting people were brutal but also blind. At this moment, they were blinded by their interests, and under the instigation of people with good intentions, they snatched jewels and gold bars that they could never afford or see in their lifetime. Although some people were greedy and wanted to grab some more, after hearing those words, they still choose to leave first.
After the robbery, they calmed down. They were not afraid, but when someone reminded them to run, they run. Although they didn't want to give up the jewelry, gold, and silver on the carriage, most of them still chose to run. A small number of people still stayed where they were, wanting to grab more, but in the end, these people all fell into the hands of officials.
At the foot of the imperial city, in broad daylight, something like this happened, if the officials hadn't rushed to the scene at once, the chaos would continue.
*Da da da* Although the well-trained army didn't arrive at the scene at the moment of the incident, they did not let the guards escorting the carriage wait for a long time.
"This group of unscrupulous people, kill them without mercy!" When the leading general saw the scene of the people looting the jewelry in the car, he trembled with anger. His eyes like copper bells stared at them as if he wanted to eat people.
"Kill!" The officers and soldiers who just arrived received the military order. They didn't care whether you were innocent or not.
"Run, run, the official sentry is here, the official sentry is here." Seeing this scene, the looting people scrambled to both sides. When they run away, the imperial guards finally broke free and immediately fought. With the help of the officers who came, they hacked and killed the looting people.
Earlier, because of their numbers, the onlookers can fight against the Imperial Guards, but now, it was a unilateral massacre. The unorganized and undisciplined ordinary people were no match for the Imperial Guards and the officers. Not long after… the street was stained red with blood.
In the palace, the Emperor received the news and showed a strange smile: Today, Xiao Tianyao will never be able to wash away the stain. Xiao Tianyao, the aloof god of war, finally descend from the mundane world!
Xiao Tianyao prolongs the war to collect money, regardless of the eastern people supporting him, he no longer has any scruples about killing Xiao Tianyao. Those generals in the army will not be chilled after this and say that he was not worthy to be the emperor!
