Ning Hu had a bad temper and was about to question loudly, but was stabbed in the back by Liu Ming. He turned around and found Liu Ming winking at him. Only then did he realize that Qin Feng was not a benevolent woman, but had already made arrangements.
Old man Zhou knelt on the ground, tears of gratitude, and kept kowtowing to Qin Feng to thank him.
"Master Qin, your great kindness and kindness will be unforgettable to me."
"From now on in Changshui County, as long as you say a word, our Zhou family will not hesitate even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"What am I talking about? Mr. Qin Hou is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness. There is no such a good person in the world as Mr. Qin Hou."
Listening to Old Man Zhou's flattery, Qin Feng had no reaction in his heart. After what happened today, it was impossible for Qin Feng to reuse the Zhou family again.
Fortunately, Ning Hu discovered it early and the fight was limited to the two families of King Zhou.
If other clans also have grievances and small-scale fighting leads to large-scale turmoil, the consequences will be disastrous.
Naturally, a quick decision must be made against such potentially unstable elements, leaving no room for negotiation.
Zhou Dasheng and others have been brought to justice, and Old Zhou will also face severe punishment. However, although the rest of the Zhou family are also suspected of helping the tyrants, they are just ordinary people after all, and they are members of the clan. Although they are evil, they cannot be said to be evil. What a great evil.
Qin Feng looked at the Zhou family members who were ashen and trembling, and said in a deep voice: "I would like to advise you not to take any chances that the law will not blame everyone."
"A mistake is a mistake. As long as you make a mistake, you have to pay the corresponding price."
"This Changshui County is indeed the territory of the Di Kingdom, but now it is under my military control, so it is temporarily my Qin Feng's territory. On the land under my feet, the emperor's crimes are the same as those of the common people, and no one can show mercy outside the law." .”
"You, the Zhou family, are a large clan in Changshui County. You should work together to create a beautiful homeland, but you are working as a stooge and helping the evildoers."
"Whether it's Zhou Dasheng and others' partiality and perversion of the law, or Old Man Zhou's domineering behavior, you are all secretly helping me."
"You, the Zhou family, not only violated the martial law prohibition, but also fought in public and engaged in malpractice for personal gain. Any crime is enough to destroy your family."
Facing Qin Feng with sharp eyes and serious tone, the Zhou family members were so frightened that they didn't even dare to express their anger.
In their understanding, as long as someone in the family becomes an official, then it is the whole family, and the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.
As an official, if you don't bend the law for personal gain and enrich your own pockets, then what kind of official should you be?
But they never expected that Qin Feng would discover the corruption at the "lowest level" so quickly, nor did they expect that Qin Feng would personally deal with such a trivial matter, and his attitude would be so serious.
For a moment, the Zhou family felt a chill on their backs.
Whether they recalled the various rumors about Qin Feng or watched with their own eyes when Ning Hu kicked Zhou Dasheng to death, they all felt that the hair on their hair stood on end. The stupidest thing they had ever done in their lives was to provoke Qin Feng.
Just when everyone felt that they were bound to die, and there were even subtle sobbing sounds, Qin Feng changed the subject again.
"Although you are extremely angry! But there are many women and children in Zhou's family. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be spared."
"From now on, in Changshui County, all strong men surnamed Zhou, regardless of high or low, will be incorporated into the logistics team to assist the frontline soldiers. If there is a war, they will transport military supplies to the frontline."
"The dirty work is fine, but the tiring work must involve the Zhou family."
"Everyone in the city is equal regardless of their surname. Why can others contribute labor but not you, the Zhou family? There is no such truth!"
Speaking of this, Qin Feng turned around and glanced at Liu Ming.
"There is no need to reduce the supplies of the Zhou family. We should distribute as much as we should. Although those involved are hateful, the women and children are innocent and we cannot let them go hungry."
"The last and most important point is that although the Zhou family has committed a crime, no one in the city is allowed to discriminate or even oppress the Zhou family for any reason. Violators will still be dealt with according to the law."
The Zhou family, who had been silent at first, suddenly became agitated when they heard Qin Feng's remarks.
They didn't expect that Qin Feng was already so angry, but he could still give the Zhou family the most basic respect, and all his punishments were reasonable, so that instead of having any complaints, the Zhou family was filled with gratitude.
Crash.
The Zhou family members present fell to their knees and kowtowed in gratitude.
"Thank you Lord Qin for your kindness. Lord Qin is the Grand Master Qingtian of Changshui County."
"We have learned a lesson from what happened today and will never dare to do it again in the future."
Seeing the Zhou family kneeling on the ground with sincerity, Qin Feng was satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.
There are 100 people in the Zhou family, plus relatives outside the city. All in all, there are at least three to four hundred people.
Qin Feng is not an arbitrary warlord, nor is he a tyrant who kills without blinking an eye. It is impossible for him to wantonly implicate innocent people. As long as Qin Feng does not implement the policy of "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots", he is very likely to plant the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the Zhou family.
Let alone the Zhou family in the city, they will feel resentment. Although it will not show on the surface, once they come into contact with people outside, they will definitely betray Qin Feng and endanger the entire city.
To put it bluntly, even if the Zhou family never comes into contact with bad people outside, no matter whether they are passive and sabotage work or slander Qin Feng behind his back, they will actually affect the hearts of the people in Changshui County.
Therefore, it is particularly important to implement the policy of "paying equal attention to kindness and power".
No one who deserves to be punished can escape, and no one who should not be punished can be touched. In this way, it can create a "black and white" impression on the Zhou family. If someone makes trouble in the future, the rest of the Zhou family will, in order to protect themselves, , and will not follow the crowd and help the evildoers do evil.
The Wang family across the street were scared to death when they heard that Qin Feng was going to punish them.
As a result, all the Wang family members breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the way Qin Feng treated the Zhou family.
Qin Feng treated the Zhou family like this, and naturally he treated others the same way. The Wang family began to organize manpower on the spot, select strong laborers, and go to the county government to receive their punishment.
In fact, everyone knows very well that the so-called punishment is simply hard work.
And it’s not for nothing, you can still get paid.
Previously, they had been unwilling to help Qin Feng because of concerns about their position. Seeing other strong laborers continue to receive money and supplies, they had long been extremely jealous.
Now he had just the right reason to "go to" Qin Feng.
