Hengzhou City seems to be very peaceful!
But everyone knows that as a new leader, after occupying a territory, he will inevitably set off a round of bloodshed. This is the default unspoken rule of this era!
For the common people, it does not mean much to change who becomes the ruler, because at most it is just to change from this person to another! In this era, the emperor is changing. To exaggerate, it is like a revolving lantern!
In fact, every bloody situation is naturally a balance between interests and strength. What every new force is concerned about when it enters are those families or individuals who were attached to the previous force!
If you are an individual and cannot actively respond to the current forces, you will inevitably be plotted and purged or even hunted down. If it is a family and cannot actively express sincerity to the new forces, then the entire family will be implicated, and in some cases the entire family will be destroyed!
Since the Tang Dynasty, all the high-ranking officials in various states, as well as the famous surnames that have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, have almost disappeared in this environment!
Although when such a big thing happens, many families and individuals may not really be at fault. But the wealth they have accumulated and the talents that are not used by the new forces will inevitably attract the hatred of the new rulers!
The wheels rolled forward, and a group of soldiers escorted several ox carts and six wooden cages mounted on the carts. The square wooden cage pillars were as thick as thighs. The bullock cart seemed not to be fast, but it was driving slowly and leisurely through the stone streets!
There were six people standing in the wooden cage, each with their head exposed outside the wooden cage. His undressed hair was spread out, and although he was not unkempt, he still looked around with a haggard or frightened look.
There was no martial law in Hengzhou City because the King of Xiangxi did not want the people to panic. After all, this city has been peaceful for more than ten years. Because of Pan Chongche's seizure of the city, not only many people died, but even those who did not died, it also made the people in the city feel like frightened birds!
If you want not to disturb the people, you have to set a certain example! Therefore, after the King of Xiangxi posted the notice, many people still stood on the street and watched. This kind of encounter happened frequently in the past two days.
Because although there was no martial law when the King of Xiangxi entered the city, nor did he warn the people not to go out, a few bloody scenes of massacre were more effective than anything else and shocked everyone in Hengzhou City!
The king of Xiangxi was still a man who dared to speak and act. Not only did he personally wield his sword to show the public, but he also bloody beheaded several people who were disturbing the people. Of course, we also praised a few examples of being friendly and kind to the people. For a while, many people still took to the streets for activities!
At this time, the person who was promoted as the devil by Zhang Wenbiao, although he has not violated the common people in the slightest, has no mercy towards those who disagree with him!
Some people accused him of killing dissidents and showing no tolerance for others. But Guo Jing smiled faintly and didn't take these words to heart. Because for him, successfully completing the mission is above all else.
Many people didn't understand Guo Jing. Guo Jing's domineering response said that people will naturally praise him thirty years later! Although there is a certain degree of arrogance, if a person with enough domineering words says these words, it will definitely represent everything!
The imprisoned oxcart team came over, and the sharp-eyed person noticed it at a glance: "Isn't that Li Sihu's younger brother Li Sanguan?" He found that the person in the first wooden cage looked familiar, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like him. Be sure!
"Yes! Yes! He is really from Li Sanguan!" Someone responded to him in a low voice and said nervously: "I don't know what the charges were, but the whole family and even the female family members were arrested!" Maybe he saw someone The soldier turned his head and looked over. The man immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say any more!
"These are the descendants of Li Pihou!" Someone who knew the origin of the Li family sighed: "Since Emperor Xuanzong, the Li family has been prosperous! Li Sihu died in the battle to defend the city, and now Li Sanguan If people are like this, can it be that Li Pihou's medicine has stopped the incense?"
"Descendants of Marquis Li Pi? You haven't seen the Wang family in the east of the city. They have been a big family since the Han Dynasty. They were all arrested. It is said that they were also sentenced to collude with foreign enemies and were listed as Zhang Wenbiao's best friend! I heard that When the time comes, all the men will be killed, and the women will serve as prostitutes!" Someone who knew some of the reasons saw the convoy moving forward and hid in the crowd and whispered.
"Hey! Kelian! Look at that lady from the Li family, but she is as famous as the one from Ouyang Mansion! What a sin!" Suddenly there was a sigh of relief, and there was naturally endless discussion about the means by which the King of Xiangxi came to Hengzhou City!
"Is this guy a butcher?" Huan Huan sat next to Liu Jixing with her mouth open, pouting as she looked at the situation on the street outside, and finally she held Liu Jixing's arm and whispered!
She didn't seem to realize at all how lethal her actions were. Those plump breasts were always pressed against Liu Jixing, with a face that made people obsessed with coquettishness. Not to mention that the person involved, Liu Jixing, was uneasy, even the people around him were stunned when they saw it!
"Huan Huan, this place is now under the control of Guo Jing, the king of Xiangxi, so be careful what you say!" Although he didn't mean to scold, Liu Jixing still reminded him with a smile! He recited the Three Character Sutra silently in his heart, with a smile on his face.
"Huan Huan is not afraid of him. When she saw how he behaved like a bully at first, Huan Huan felt that he was not a good person. She didn't expect that she would kill so many people! At first, she felt that she could deal with him with just a wave of her hand. She was really capable. You have to pass him!" Huan Huan snorted proudly! He looked arrogant and proud, holding his chest high, like a little hen that had just laid eggs!
"Huan Huan, aren't you afraid? You are so scared of a certain person!" Liu Jixing smiled slightly and teased her: "You beautiful ladies are following a certain family. If someone sees you jealous, you can find any reason to arrest them and give them to them. If the king of Xiangxi becomes his concubine, what will he do? Besides, if someone cuts him off easily, the family will complain!" At this time, Liu Jixing actually had some thoughts to teach Huan Huan, and he seemed to be teasing her a little.
Of course, everyone on the sidelines understood that Liu Jixing was joking, but some people were a little moved. It was the boat girl standing next to the boy named Qi. Because Liu Jixing just pointed his finger and swept all these people in when he spoke, saying that they were his women. When he was just brought in front of her, a strange look actually flashed on her face!
That kind of smug look and self-righteousness makes people think that this matter has something to do with her! It seems that she likes to have a relationship with Liu Jixing. Although I don’t know what her mentality is, this attitude is surprising! Of course, others can't catch her alert look.
Only one Ouyang Tong seems to have a panoramic view (To be continued.)
