In his grief and anger, he could not do anything. He could only watch the Mo family army outside the inner city began to gather and prepare for the attack. The people were organized to transport firewood or soil and stones here.

This verifies his inferences more and more.

In the places where Jianghan, Chu and Han, close to Ba, the people in the villages and communities in those places have much harder than here, they eat less than here, wear less than here, and use less than here, and they have to bear the labor force of mining before being confiscated. However, the villagers or the people in the city are the most stable.

The people of Shangcai lived much better than those that had not changed elsewhere, but now looking at these people is the most uneasy. They could organize themselves and attack the county magistrate after a little bit of motivation from the Mohist family.

However, there is no time for him to change all this, nor does it take him to realize his ambitions.

He knew that the consequences of being captured by the Mo family would be endless insults and tragic.

He may be arranged to work in the mine, and after work, he may be divided into hundreds of acres of wasteland. The Mohist insulted the nobles to make them engage in the cheap businesses that the nobles despise the most, such as farming and mining.

Or they may be sent to the ship to give them some seeds and farm tools. Those ships trading in the South China Sea may choose a place like an estuary during their sailing and throw the exiled nobles down.

After King Wu defeated Zhou, the Yin and Shang Dynasty were destroyed, there were Song and Korea; Goujian destroyed Wu, and even gave King Wu a hundred households and fiefs; Chu destroyed the various countries, and counties and states coexisted, and there were still sacrifices.

But the Mo family asked the nobles to be actors and musicians, farmers and craftsmen, and exiled to Jiuzhou. No matter which one is a kind of unjust and unvirtuous.

He knew he could not fight, and he knew that he did not want to be captured, so he thought of committing suicide.

Looking at the few close confidants and scholars around him, he wanted to say something, and finally said: "I am against Mo, not because I infringe upon my interests as the Mo family promotes. I am not for the benefit, but for the sake of justice."

"The world should not be what the Mo family said. Those who are noble should be noble, and those who are low should be cheap. Otherwise, the world will inevitably be in chaos."

"The farmer wants to be a scholar, the scholar wants to be a doctor, the doctor wants to be a minister... The ambitions are rampant, how many people will die?"

"In the past, when the etiquette and law were used, the patriarchal ranks were clear, the king was wise and the ministers were wise, and the people were willing to be in their own careers. How could there be any chaos?"

The scholars did not know what to answer. Shang Cai Gong sighed for a while, made up his mind and said to the people around him: "After I die, you can surrender. Dig out my eyes and bury him in Pengcheng if you have the chance. I want to see how the Mo family perished! If it does not perish, I want to see if the people in this world have chosen equality but not high and low and orderly, and will they regret it in the future."

"If the Mo family has the right to be equal to everyone in the world, I will use my eyes to curse the blood of the nine provinces into a river to cleanse those ignorant fools."

After saying that, he wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide, and the scholar next to him was suddenly at a loss.

I don’t know whether Mr. Shangcai pretends to die or is really going to die.

If you really want to die, you shouldn't stop it. How can the nobles be afraid of death?

At this point, the king was captured and many rebelled in Chu. At this time, as a county duke, he could not pacify the Mo family and restore the country. He could not use means to govern the country and make a country strong before. If he survived, he would be shameless.

There is no way to live, so the simplest thing to die is to save a lot of humiliation, and it can also wash away your incompetence.

Death is an excellent choice, nothing is better.

If so, you should not stop it.

But if you pretend to die and don’t reach out to stop me, it will be quite embarrassing.

If I have said so much, I still don’t want to die. I just hope that the people around me can know his words and deeds and then advise him not to die, then I have to persuade him.

When a crowd didn't know what to do, a scholar who really didn't want the county magistrate to die took action and held down the sword that had already been raised to commit suicide.

The scholar thought to himself that the young master had lost his will to death. If he dissuaded normally at this time, he would be useless.

Only by finding a different approach can he be motivated not to demand death.

The Duke of Shangcai County felt his hand being held by a scholar and shouted, "My ambition is gone. Do you want me to be humiliated by a bitch?"

The scholar shouted: "Will the young master be humiliated if he dies at this time? Did the Mo family do little to insult the dead?"

"According to the Mohist saying, no problem of death can be solved. Unless it is certain that it cannot be solved, death is a kind of cowardice."

"The Mo family will say that since the rise of Si Shang for thirty years, it has given you princes and nobles a chance for thirty years, but your princes and nobles are useless."

"Thirty years ago, there were only a few hundred people in the Mo family."

"In thirty years, Wu could not command the soldiers to pacify these hundreds of people, but instead made these hundreds of people grow into the three states, and the warriors were incompetent."

"For thirty years, the people were convinced by the government that the country could not be prosperous and the people were convinced. Instead, the people were resentful and the nobles were incompetent."

“So too.”

"The Mo family will say, even if the righteousness and theories are different, even if your princes and nobles don't want to benefit the world, what have you done according to your righteousness?"

"You were born as a nobleman. If you had talent, according to your righteousness, have you consolidated the system of the clan's clan's clan for so many years? No, you did not do it."

"Did you ever let Chu have a military force that can compete with the Mo family over the years? No, you still haven't done it."

"I have done nothing for so many years. When I was surrounded by war, I committed suicide. What is this not a waste? If I never had a chance, it is understandable that you commit suicide is the only thing that can be done for justice. But for decades, you have done nothing, and then you want to gain a good reputation if you commit suicide. The Mo family will laugh and scold you, pointing at your corpse and say, "Look, princes and nobles are all waste..."

He said this, and his original intention was to arouse the county magistrate's mind and tell him not to die, but to leave a useful body and can always do something in the future.

The serious words that should be said have been finished, and it will be immediately turned around and let it survive first.

But every sentence he said was inserted into the heart of Shangcai County Duke. He had hidden himself in his heart for many years and deceived himself and made himself believe that he had the ability and talent, and was exposed at this moment.

In thirty years, these nobles did nothing.

He was suppressed by the King of Chu for twenty years, and finally survived until the King of Chu died, but was beaten by the Mo family in a terrible way. If this wasn't incompetence, what would it be?

One reason why the Mohist school said that no one should always be noble but no one should always be noble but not humble is that it is said that the nobles and nobles of the clan are all wasteful. They cannot fight the royal power in internal struggles, and they cannot defeat the Mohist school in foreign wars. This is a group of worms.

These words of heart-killing and stinging the face made Mr. Shangcai become angry and look red. He shouted: "How dare you insult me! Could it be that you have an affair with the Mo family?"

After saying that, he kicked the scholar away with one kick, pulled out his short sword and inserted it into the scholar's heart.

The scholar died immediately, and Shangcai Gong also returned to his sword and committed suicide, his eyes wide open.

After the people around him confirmed that Mr. Shangcai was dead, they looked at each other but did not dig.

Everyone has their own thoughts, but they also say it out loud.

Finally someone broke the silence and coughed lightly, "The Mo family is about to attack the inner city. The head of the family is dead, so he asked us to dig our eyes and buried them in Pengcheng..."

"But if the words he said were exposed, those who buried their eyes would suffer disaster. The Mo family would not forgive him, and the people would be angry."

"this……"

This is also very clear. According to the fact that the master and slave have been in love for so many years, it is not impossible to understand the fact that they should learn from Wu Zixu before his death.

But who knows if anyone reports it after burying his eyes?

Burying eyes is not a sin, but if the curse of burying eyes is heard, the person who buried eyes will definitely suffer disaster. Although the Mohist school does not believe in the law of witches and prayers, if the people hear it, everyone will not have good results.

They are not high-level nobles. For example, if they surrender, they will only study for a few years of labor education and take back the land, but they will allocate land elsewhere. Although they are worse than before, the gap is not as big as the aristocrats.

Some of the sacred people with fiefdoms, some of them are those who do not have fiefdoms, and the other are slaves who are slaves. They all have some skills. As long as they don’t die, they will always have a chance in the future.

If it were in the past, they could still serve others with their own abilities.

There are many nobles who raise scholars, and the fiefs of the nobles must be managed by someone, and war also requires an elite force to fight under their command.

However, the Mo family's things made them useless within the Mo family.

The Mohist army was not a chariot, but a combination of elite soldiers and slaves and recruited peasants.

The Mohist rule was not divided into feudal systems, and the nobles relied on scholars and fostered scholars to maintain the systemic rule.

Once the gunpowder and the military formation came out, the warrior skills that had been hard-working for more than ten years were useless.

As soon as the writing and printing techniques were released, the population of Si Shang's literacy increased sharply, and what I learned was not the same as Si Shang's, so I could not become an official.

In addition, after the Mo family seized them, they were sent to labor reform, and they were also extremely opposed to the Mo family.

However, in this situation, you can't escape or escape, and you still have to live.

Nowadays, everyone may report others, and it is impossible for everyone to really want to take this risk.

After several people asked each other, someone finally said, "The master has a fate and should not not follow him. However, a scholar should follow righteousness instead of the king. Before his master dies, he will have blood flowing into a river of nine provinces, which is incompatible with righteousness. This thing should not be done."

He found a reason to follow the righteous but not the king. The others were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That's what it should be."

Thinking again, it is meaningless to resist stubbornly. If you surrender, you can also strive for leniency on the grounds of "being able to bear the death and injury of soldiers". So several people discussed and unified the situation.

He said that before the county magistrate committed suicide, he had to tell the Mo family that he did not do it for justice.

He also said that before the county magistrate died, they were not allowed to die, but let them fight to the end. He could not bear the death and injury of the soldiers, and they were all from Jiuzhou, so they opened the city to surrender.

This is beneficial to everyone present. After unifying the caliber, he raised the white flag and declared surrender.
