"Originally." A strange smile appeared on Wu Nian's face, which made the officials present shudder. What kind of weird smile is this?
"I don't intend to pursue it. The attack is too broad and it won't be of much benefit to me. But you made me understand a truth. If you keep people like you, the consequences will be endless."
"I don't believe it. I really don't believe it. Every one of you here is innocent."
Having said this, Wu Nian raised his hand and stretched out his fingers, glanced at the dozens of officials present, and sneered: "Of course there are some officials who are not black. But most of them are black."
"The water is clear and there are no fish."
"Especially for officials in Liaodong, they are too embarrassed to go out unless they are black. Which of you here has not done something dirty and dirty?"
"For example, you can get kickbacks and occupy the farmers' fields. Which beautiful girl do you like? You decide for yourselves who is innocent."
"Didn't you say that you are the emperor of Chu? I won't kill you, but I will use the royal method of Chu to deal with you. Detain everyone. Investigate them."
"Kill those who deserve to be killed, and confiscate the homes of those who deserve. If there is someone who is really innocent, then I will make him an official, a high official."
Wu Nian waved his hand and said to the soldier next to him.
"Yes." The soldiers responded loudly, then swarmed up and surrounded dozens of officials.
All the officials were dumbfounded. Didn’t Wu Nian not kill ordinary officials? It seems to be true, he does not kill us.
But investigate us. Which of us is clean? How can an official in Liaodong survive if he doesn't have a dark heart?
As soon as we investigate, something will happen.
this.
We are here to get half of Zhang, but we are going to get ourselves involved instead?
The officials were much more spineless than Wang Jing. They all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "General. General. I won't beg for mercy. I won't beg for mercy. Please spare me."
"General. Wang Jing instigated me to come here. It really has nothing to do with me." Some people were crying and kowtowing.
Wang Jing's face turned blue with anger, still unaware of the impending disaster. He raised his crutch, pointed at Wu Nian and shouted sternly: "Wu Nian, how dare you? You, a military general, dare to detain a member of the imperial court? I think you are tired of living. You will be exterminated."
"Thank you for your concern, sir. Even if I have a neat family, there are less than ten people. How many people in your Wang family are clean?"
"Do it. It doesn't matter if you beat me. I don't give preferential treatment to officials here." Wu Nian put away his expression and shouted sternly.
"yes."
As expected, the soldiers no longer had any worries. They entered the group of officials like wolves and tigers, punched and kicked them, and then took the officials into custody.
If you want to investigate people, don't make it too simple. Just walk around the city and let the victim come to report on it.
That's the process, it takes a few days.
Wu Nian keeps his word and will never kill good people indiscriminately. The penalty for serious crimes is death, and the punishment for misdemeanors is light. It will be handled completely in accordance with the laws of Dachu.
Following Wu Nian's order, the entire Jiang County was shocked. The common people who were oppressed by officials on weekdays really rushed to complain to each other and made complaints one after another.
They don't say it yet.
Half of it is nailed to the iron plate. As soon as noon arrives. Ban Bian Zhang, regardless of gender or age, was escorted out of the city and beheaded all of them.
The clan was destroyed.
certainly. Zhang Bu and Zhang Youwei sent away most of the sons of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, as well as half of the tribesmen Zhang sent to the Chu State, and Wu Nian had no control over them.
He can only care about the things in front of him.
But no matter what. With this slash, half of the Zhang that had been running rampant in Jiang County for countless years completely disappeared. Even those fish that slipped through the net are unable to make waves.
Wu Nian also had a clear idea.
One word.
Very happy.
And with the destruction of Banbian Zhang, there is still a little headache. Banbianzhang is called Banbianzhang, which is really not bragging. Countless fertile fields outside Jiang County belong to their family.
Many houses, gold, silver and jewelry were also left behind.
What should we do with these things?
And among the officials, there are probably not many who are clean. They should be killed, their homes should be ransacked, and what about the property they left behind?
Wu Nian thought for a moment and decided to wait until Liu Zhixing arrived. Putting aside these trivial matters, Wu Nian quickly asked Wei Ru, Zhang Jin, Long Qie, and Feng Chong's troops to come in.
The city was renovated and the military buildings were expanded to accommodate soldiers. Be fully prepared for the next war with Jin Huan Mountain.
There is one thing for which Wu Nian is more grateful to Jin Huanshan.
It's spring now, and the warehouses are filled with the autumn grain harvested last year. In this way, he did not need to go to Beishan Fort to transport food, but could rely on the granary in Jiang County to solve the problem of feeding the army.
As for the rest of the military supplies, they are also piled up.
Speaking of which, the Mongolian Yuan people managed Liaodong well, and officials did not dare to corrupt the Mongolian Yuan people. If officials are not greedy for money, then the government will be rich.
Wu Nian's invasion of Jiang County was like a mouse entering a rice vat, and he had no worries about food and drink.
Three days.
The investigation took three days.
In the middle of Jiang County.
There were forty-two officials who came to plead for Ban Bianzhang that day, and few of them were clean.
Inside the hall.
Wu Nian was wearing a black brocade robe with narrow sleeves and a black satin tied in his hair. He was dressed very smartly. He lowered his head and looked at the booklet in his hand, with a sneer on his face.
Forty-two officials.
Thirty-eight of them had various problems, ranging from corruption to life-threatening lawsuits.
How can a powerful person not bully the people?
How can anyone seize people's land without destroying their homes?
This Wang Jing is still the king of poison. The old one has lost his teeth. He usually feeds on human mattresses. Recently, he even took in a maid who lived in the same house. He is really getting stronger with age.
Since he became a civil servant, the Wang family's farmland has increased fifteen times. Among them, five families sued the Wang family for occupying their fields.
Three of them were suspected of being wiped out.
That is to say, no one in the whole family is seen alive, and no body is seen after death. This farmland was of course accepted by the Wang family.
Wang Jing aside, many of the Wang family’s sons and grandsons have committed crimes.
He was truly a typical tycoon at the end of his dynasty. Shocking, second only to Han Bian Zhang.
"Do it according to the laws of Huangchu. Behead the beheader at Wu Shi." Wu Nian closed the book, raised his head and said to the soldiers.
"General." The soldier glanced at Wu Nian, then knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "Please forgive me for talking too much."
"Then Wang Jing is a civil servant and is over seventy years old."
"Old, it's not a gold medal for immunity from death. Behead!" Wu Young shook his head lightly and said.
"Yes." That's what the soldier said. Since Wu Nian insisted, he agreed and turned around.
Caishikou.
"Crack! Click!"
The prison van carried dozens of men to Caishikou. Wang Jing, an old juren, was the first to bear the brunt. Crowds surged on both sides of the street, throwing rotten vegetable leaves and stones at the prison car.
"Bah. Dog officer. Today is the day for you too!"
"Dog officer. How are you so arrogant? Bah!"
"Dog officer!!"
The surging people forced the soldiers on guard to use all their strength to stop them. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will swarm and tear these people into pieces.
The prison car soon arrived at Caishikou. On a simple wooden platform stood ten knife and axemen, and the one in charge of the execution was Wu Nianjun Qianhu.
Wang Jing and the other nine people were dragged out of the prison van and pushed down on a wooden platform. A sign on their head read "Wang Jing."
"I don't accept it. I don't accept it. I am a member of the imperial court. What qualifications does Wu Nian have to kill me? He is setting up a private execution hall, which is tantamount to treason."
"You, you are all accomplices, you know? You will be exterminated."
"It's still too late for you to step back from the brink."
Wang Jing struggled fiercely. An old man who was about to die didn't know where he got such strength. Even the soldiers couldn't hold him down.
At the entrance of the vegetable market, the countless people watching were like gravel, and they all opened their mouths and booed.
"Shh!"
"Old thief. Hurry up."
"Dog officer. The people killed by your Wang family are also very dissatisfied."
Qianhu, who was in charge of questioning and beheading, would not care about this smelly old man. He followed the example of a government official, took out the token on the table in front of him, threw it down, and said: "Behead!"
With a "click", the head rolled to the ground. Wang Jing, who was in her seventies, had half of her head chopped off because of her struggle and fell to the ground.
"Okay!!!!" the people clapped their hands.
