Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 304 The Assassin of Pang, Jiang Wuyang!
Pang Qingyun's behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of most viewers.

"Pang Qingyun's actions were far too extreme!"

"How can you call it human after killing thousands of Taiping soldiers?!"

"But if we don't take this action, we'll run out of food, and they might revolt again. Are we going to feed them our own food and let our brothers go hungry?"

"Although Zhao Erhu promised not to kill the surrendered soldiers, I think Pang Qingyun is trash!"

"All's fair in war," Pang Qingyun said from the beginning.

"Forget it! Pang Qingyun's cold-blooded behavior disgusts me, and I don't even want to look at Zhou Yang anymore!!"

"..."

Zhou Yang did not expect that the audience's opinions on the character Pang Qingyun would be so divided.

He suddenly felt his arm being gripped tightly. Zhou Yang turned his head and saw Zhang Jingyi staring intently at Pang Qingyun on the screen, her face full of anger. Clearly, even he hated Pang Qingyun to the core.

Zhou Yang gave a helpless wry smile; it seemed that the character portrayal this time was truly outstanding.

The film continues, and the next scene is a showdown between Zhou Yang and Hu Ge.

After Pang Qingyun successfully defeated the enemy, Zhao Erhu began to doubt life and decided to lead a group of soldiers back to his hometown.

Zhou Yang, who plays Pang Qingyun, stands with his horse and troops to stop Zhao Erhu, pleading with him to stay and join the attack on Nanjing.

Hu Ge, playing Zhao Erhu, stared at Pang Qingyun with a red glint in his eyes and coldly said, "Do you want me to continue watching you take the lives of innocent people?"

“They are just ordinary people!” Pang Qingyun replied in a low voice.

"They've already surrendered!"

"They are no longer capable of fighting!"

Zhao Erhu was stunned for a moment, then questioned, "Do you still remember the promise you made to us before? You said you would find a place for people that would not be bullied by poverty. What have you done now?"

At this point, Zhao Erhu became emotional, tears streaming down his face. He shouted, "You're right here, and you've taken the lives of four thousand poor people! Do you know that?!"

Pang Qingyun explained in a low voice, "It's not because of poverty that we're fighting. Every one of our lost brothers was an ordinary person, but they were soldiers, destined to give their lives for the country! And there are millions of civilians in Nanjing. If He Kui attacks, everything will be destroyed!"

Upon hearing Pang Qingyun's words, Zhao Erhu silently shed tears.

Pang Qingyun's words left him with mixed feelings.

Hu Ge's pained expression deeply touched the audience, prompting them to cry out in sympathy.

"Erhu is so pitiful. He was just trying to protect the people around him."

"Old Hu's acting was superb! He's just as good as Brother Yang!"

"His tearful eyes evoked endless heartache! He captured the character's emotions perfectly!"

"Old Hu's acting skills have improved significantly!"

"That's right! I think Hu Ge has the ability to win the Best Actor award based on this scene!"

"However, looking at the film as a whole, Zhou Yang's performance was more outstanding in character portrayal and attention to detail."

"Yes, both of them have a chance to compete for the Best Actor award!"

"."

The next moment, Pang Qingyun's character knelt down and finally succeeded in keeping Zhao Erhu with him.

The three brothers reunited and set off together to attack Nanjing.

The brothers, united and working together, successfully captured Nanjing after several days of fighting. However, Zhao Erhu secretly applied to the imperial court for military funds behind Pang Qingyun's back, further escalating the conflict between the two.

This scene made the audience very worried; they didn't want the three brothers to end up fighting amongst themselves.

Next, Pang Qingyun went to the capital to be received by the emperor. The empress dowager personally rewarded him with a yellow riding jacket and appointed him as the governor-general of Liangjiang!

One step to the sky!
At the moment when Pang Qingyun was making everyone ecstatic, he suddenly declared, "As a subject, I would like to suggest to the Emperor that the taxes in the Liangjiang region be waived for three years in order to improve the lives of the people!"

For a time, the officials in the court felt uneasy, because the suggestion was far too radical.

After all, the Liangjiang region contributes 30% of the imperial court's revenue. If it is exempt from taxes for three years, what source of income will the imperial court lose?!
The audience who had previously condemned Pang Qingyun for being hypocritical have now completely changed their opinion of him.

They all said, "We misunderstood Pang Qingyun; he truly cared about the people."

However, some people have questioned Pang Qingyun's goals, believing that he is willing to pay the price of his life and damage his brotherhood in order to achieve them.

"This is a dilemma. To save the people, the first step is to sacrifice lives!"

"However, there has finally been a turning point, which is wonderful. Pang Qingyun should become an outstanding official."

"To my surprise, Empress Dowager Cixi agreed. I thought she wouldn't do it."

"..."

Viewers generally believe that the movie is nearing its end at this point, since Zhang has been defeated, Pang Qingyun has become the Governor-General of Liangjiang, and taxes in the Liangjiang region have been lifted.

However, the plot took an unexpected turn!
Lord Di conveyed the Empress Dowager's decree, not only instructing Pang Qingyun to reduce the army, but also roaring angrily:

"Zhao Erhu, your brother said he was leaving Suzhou, but what happened? In Nanjing, he secretly divided up the imperial army's funds. The Zhao family is truly something else!"

"What does this mean? Does it mean Pang Qingyun is to kill Zhao Erhu?!"

"Yes! I thought it would be over after the Taiping Rebellion was over, but who knew that these high-ranking officials in the imperial court would be even more disgusting!"

"They're all scoundrels! Each one is more despicable than the last!"

"This movie is really daring, daring to include such a plot!"

"That's so realistic! The general didn't die on the battlefield, but in the imperial court!"

"I hope Pang Qingyun won't kill Zhao Erhu!"

"..."

The film continues, but the plot leaves the audience feeling deeply distressed.

In order to realize his ambition and benefit the masses, Pang Qingyun decided to use Zhao Erhu as a sacrifice. He sent people to lure Zhao Erhu into a trap and ultimately put him to death.

However, on the street where Pang Qingyun was warmly welcoming Governor Liang Jiang to his new post, Jiang Wuyang suddenly appeared, breaking the peace.

The two engaged in a fierce fight when Pang Qingyun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He had been stabbed in the heart by Jiang Wuyang's knife.

Tears streaming down his face, Jiang Wuyang raised his knife high and roared, "The one who stabbed Pang is Jiang Wuyang!"

The scene then shifts to the three men swearing brotherhood, accompanied by background music, evoking a deep sense of sorrow in each of them.

The lights instantly turned on, and the subtitles appeared.

The Warlords have officially come to an end!
The movie theater was silent; the audience remained speechless for a long time.

After a long period of time, the audience gradually recovered from the shock.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and every spectator was thrilled.
