Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

She is currently using this temporary power to do what she has always wanted to do but never had the chance to.

In her heart, she had already prepared a coffin for herself to bury.

She had long been mentally prepared to be discarded like a bow after the birds are used up, or a dog cooked after the rabbit is dead.

Killing meritorious officials was the norm; emperors who could "release military power over a cup of wine" were considered kind-hearted.

She was prepared for this outcome and accepted it.

She had no regrets; she was content to have existed in this world so vividly.

Putting everything else aside, just considering the number of corrupt officials who died at her hands, she would definitely be in the top three.

This one trait alone makes him superior to any wise and capable official in history. What more could he ask for?

That's enough, really.

She was grateful to the emperor for trusting her so much and giving her the authority to do what she wanted.

Even if the government turns against her in the future, she can understand. It's not that the government is bad, but rather that it's determined by the government's position and interests.

If she were in the official's shoes, she might have attacked him too.

After saying this, Shen Ruyi left; she was too lazy to waste any more time arguing with these people.

The people at the scene burst into tears, as if their own parents had just died.

Those who understood the logic and the pros and cons here even looked at the five generals with hatred.

I wish I could tear these people apart with my bare hands, especially General Liu.

If they weren't so weak and unable to move, these people would probably be dead by now.

The young soldiers, their mouths gagged and tossed aside, looked pale and knew they were doomed.

General Liu was actually the best one at this moment, because he was still in a semi-conscious state.

With a high fever and her body covered in sores, she couldn't pay attention to the resentful looks directed at her.

He has only one thought now: to survive, because only by surviving will he have a chance.

Shen Ruyi thought to herself, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Hey.

People are often fooled by promises that don't belong to their social class.

They always think they can be the lucky one, but they never look down at their own abilities and stature to see if they can reach it.

They don't even bother to think about the origin of this pie or why it exists.

The promises your leader makes are for you to see and imagine, not for you to actually fulfill.

Shadow Five stood aside and watched with amusement; when it came to reasoning, he only respected the King of the East Sea.

He always knows how to tickle what people's sore spots. Look how he made those who were initially unconvinced and resentful cry.

Watching these people wailing and crying suddenly felt so satisfying, so exhilarating, and so heartbreaking.

Breakfast was ready in no time, and Shen Ruyi specially had it brought to the people next to them to eat.

While eating, he said, "See? I'm drinking ginseng, mushroom, and fresh chicken soup, along with bird's nest and shark fin."

It is paired with fresh meat buns.

These good things were found in General Liu's kitchen.

Look at what they eat every day, and what do you eat?

Oh, I forgot to mention, I also saw a lot of other tonics in their kitchen, all of them good stuff.

A single tael can cost several taels of silver, and some items can even cost tens of taels of silver for just one tael.

You've probably never eaten or even seen what they look like, right? One of their breakfasts is enough to feed your whole family for a year.

So, what exactly are you all busy with? Who are you fighting for? Who are you risking your lives for?

After Shen Ruyi asked several questions, no one spoke.

They stopped wailing and crying, as if someone had deflated them all.

They lay there numb and listless, resigned to their fate and waiting to die.

Of course, some have completely resigned themselves to their fate, while others are still determined to live.

Hearing Shen Ruyi's words, she broke down in tears again, filled with regret. This time, however, she only shed silent tears, wishing she could go back to the past and defy fate.

Having provoked them enough, Shen Ru stopped talking and started eating steamed buns and drinking soup heartily.

Before long, the aroma of breakfast filled the air, causing everyone's stomachs to rumble in unison.

It kept making a gurgling sound, one after another, in a very rhythmic way.

The crowd, who had been numb, were brought back to their senses by the aroma of breakfast and couldn't help but turn their attention over.

Last night, they realized something was wrong after eating half of their meal, and then induced themselves to vomit.

That's roughly equivalent to them not having eaten dinner yesterday. They were already starving, and the aroma made their stomachs rumble.

My heart feels empty and uncomfortable, like the pain of a cat's claws.

This feeling is too agonizing.

Suddenly someone spoke up: "Since we're all going to die anyway, could you give us some food so we can die with a full stomach?"

Shen Ruyi chuckled, “You’re all going to die anyway, why do you care whether you die full or starving?”

What's the difference? We're all going to die anyway, so we might as well save every meal, don't you agree?

"No, our lives are already hard enough, are we going to starve to death? I'm not willing to accept that."

"Your misfortunes are not my fault, so why should I care whether your lives are miserable or not?"

If you were soldiers defending our country, I would give away all my wealth to ensure you have enough to eat every day.

After all, you are heroes, existing to protect us ordinary people.

If you are starving, it is because of our incompetence and lack of conscience as people in the rear.

But now, you are rebels, prisoners, and we have to spend manpower and resources to deal with you.

We've already suffered a loss, why would we be willing to spend another penny on you rebels? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

If we hadn't discovered it early, you might have turned your guns on us in the future.

Tell me yourselves, how dare you ask us for food?

You see, that person would feed his enemy; we're not some great philanthropist or saint.

Think about it yourselves. If you were in my position, would you give us food?

After Shen Ruyi finished speaking, the air fell silent, and no one responded.

After a long time, just when Shen Ruyi thought no one was speaking, someone suddenly spoke.

"I remember that death row inmates were allowed a full meal before they died. I think that's called the last meal before execution. It seems to be a tradition that has existed since ancient times?"

Shen Ruyi even admired this person a little. "You know quite a lot. You don't seem like the kind of stupid person who would be sold out and still help the seller count the money. How did you end up like this?"
