The verdict is being announced in a heated manner here, while on the other side, Wang Zhenjiang, Wu Ying'er and others are still discussing how to deal with Zhang Zhao.
Because Wang Zhenjiang always felt that Zhang Sikong let them go so easily, which made him feel a little uneasy.
I have to say that his hunch was right. Before the few people could reach a conclusion, something uneasy happened.
Several members of the Wang family quickly ran to Wangjiawu Fort and told General Wang Zhen that Zhang Zhao was trying him in absentia.
And according to the information obtained by the clan members, so far, the Wang family has to pay more than two thousand gu, and it is still rising.
General Wang Zhen was confused. He didn't understand what Zhang Zhao wanted to do?
Even if you want his family property, shouldn't you send a large army to capture Wangjiawu Fort, kill them all, and then seize the Wang family property safely?
What does Sikong want to do by distributing his family property to ordinary people in the form of compensation?
Wu Ying'er's face suddenly turned white. In addition to practicing martial arts, the Wu family also needed to learn some literature. In terms of knowledge, the Wu family was actually the most powerful among the big families in Weizhou.
Therefore, Wu Ying'er dimly realized that Zhang Zhao did not want the Wang family's property, or mainly did not want the Wang family's property, but wanted to turn Weizhou into the rear area for the Guiyi army to march eastward to quell the chaos.
He thought for a moment and decided not to tell General Wang Zhen about this. So Wu Ying'er's expression changed and he punched his foot with a fist, his face filled with indignation.
He cupped his hands and said to General Wang Zhen: "Sikong promised not to hold us accountable for any wrongdoings, and now he does this. It is obviously directed at us. It is completely without faith. General, please sit down for a moment. I’ll go ask Zhang Sikong now!”
After saying that, Wu Ying'er stood up and winked at his younger brother Wu Guo'er, and then the two of them took a few family members and left.
General Wang Zhen was so frightened by the information that Zhang Zhao wanted to deal with him that he did not notice anything unreasonable in Wu Ying'er's actions.
When he felt something was wrong, he stood up and stretched out his hands, trying to call Wu Wu Ying'er back, but Wu Ying'er went out very fast. Before Wang Zhenjiang could open his mouth, he had already walked out of the gate of the discussion backyard.
General Wang Zhen could only sit down slumped, arranged for his clansmen to inquire again, and summoned his brother Wang Sanlang and others to get them ready to defend the fort again.
By the time Wu Ying'er came to Zhang Zhao from Wangjiawu Fort, Guo Tiance and others had already written so hard that their hands were almost broken.
The crimes committed by Wang Zhenjiang's family ranged from killing and kidnapping, to seizing other people's property, to beating and even insulting others. There were seven or eight hundred cases in total.
Basically, everyone watching the fun found something about being bullied by the Wang family.
And the amount of compensation is also very interesting. The highest compensation is seventy or eighty dollars, and the lowest compensation is only five or six hundred dollars.
Zhang Zhao's purpose in doing this was to share the benefits so that everyone could benefit from moving the Wang family, because he did not move the Wang family to annex the Wang family's property.
It is a full eight hundred miles from Weizhou to Lanzhou, let alone Liangzhou. According to the traffic conditions at this time, even if Zhang Zhao swallowed up the Wang family's property, he would not be able to control those fixed industries.
Moreover, what Zhang Zhao needs most right now is to build Weizhou into his logistics base for countering rebellion, and leave a good image in the hearts of Weizhou people that Zhang Sikong and the Guiyi Army eliminate violence, do not kill indiscriminately, and do not loot. .
The most direct purpose of selling most of the Wang family's tens of thousands of pounds of property is to use the Wang family's property to buy the hearts of Weizhou people, which is equivalent to an advertisement.
When Wu Ying'er rushed to Zhou Yamen, he was smart enough not to go into Zhou Yamen to find Zhang Zhao immediately. Instead, he asked his family to mingle with the crowd and inquire about it.
After he understood clearly what Zhang Zhao was going to do, his face was as pale as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Wu Ying'er understood the power of Zhang Zhao's move very well, so he suppressed him with power and lured him with benefits. In just a few days, he completely disgraced General Wang Zhen, who was well-known in Weizhou, and then led the people to divide him. Lost his family fortune.
Originally, it would be difficult for locals to recognize this kind of thing where outsiders bully locals, but when Zhang Zhao did it, everyone benefited, and not only did they not object, but they also liked him.
Moreover, this move can be used to deal with General Wang Zhen, and it can also be used to deal with the Wu family and other wealthy families. It depends on whether Zhang Zhao wants to or not.
Therefore, Wu Ying'er, who understood his situation, abandoned all reserve. In the yamen, he knelt down and kowtowed like Li Huochang, Zhang Rongbao and others outside.
Wu Ying'er was even ready to give up all his family property just to ensure the Wu family's status in Weizhou.
However, Zhang Zhao will not touch the Wu family, because he cannot completely smash a class like Zhang Mazi in this era.
He himself is a member of this class, or in other words, Zhang Zhao will eventually become the leader in controlling, restricting, and coexisting with this class. Therefore, Zhang Zhao is ready to let go of the Wu family and other wealthy families in Weizhou.
The most valuable property of General Wang Zhen's family is actually not his family's gold and silver worth twenty to thirty thousand dollars, but the tens of thousands of acres of the best farmland outside Weizhou City.
"I heard that the Wu Ya family is also a wealthy family in Weizhou. I wonder how many acres they have purchased outside the city?"
Zhang Zhao pulled the frightened Wu Yinger up and asked with a smile.
Wu Ying'er was stunned. Did he guess wrong? Is Zhang Zhao really here for the Wang family's wealth?
No, no matter how many acres the Wang family has, Zhang Sikong is far away in Liangzhou and cannot actually control these fields. What is he going to do?
Questions are questions, Wu Ying'er still answered honestly, "Reporting to Sikong, a certain Wu family was indeed a wealthy family in Weizhou in the early years, but now the family fortune has long been in decline.
Therefore, life is quite difficult nowadays. There are thousands of people in the clan and they have approximately 7,000 to 8,000 acres of land. "
Zhang Zhao nodded noncommittally, and then sighed, "Then the gap between your Wu family and General Wang Zhen's family is too far! I heard that General Wang Zhen's family has more than 100,000 acres of fertile land outside the city. .”
Wu Ying'er slowly shook his head and said: "There shouldn't be more than 100,000 acres, maybe about 60,000 to 70,000 acres."
"I see!" Zhang Zhao nodded, "Sixty to seventy thousand acres is quite a lot. I wonder if your Wu family is interested in these tens of thousands of acres of land?"
Wu Ying'er broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down in front of Zhang Zhao with a thud.
"Why did Sikong say this? Wang Zhen will indulge his family's servants, oppress the people, seize other people's property, and commit many crimes.
Sikong made an impartial decision. They deserved this punishment themselves. The Wang family's property should be distributed and arranged at Sikong's discretion. The servants and the Wu family had no intention of interfering with the Wang family's business! "
Still a very cautious guy, Zhang Zhao waved his hand, not ready to go around in circles with Wu Ying'er.
"Wu Yaya thinks that someone is testing you? In fact, that's not the case! My rebel army came from Hexi, and I came here under the national edict to destroy the rebels.
If the Weizhou Yabing rebels were not involved in the rebellion, it would be impossible. Therefore, General Wang Zhen was the Weizhou people's explanation to the court.
At this moment, the rebels are approaching Chang'an, Jingzhao Prefecture, and their momentum is fierce. If the rebellion is to succeed, our rebel army will definitely come out in full force, but now there is a lot of shortage of food, grass, mules and horses, weapons, and civilians.
What X means is that if anyone can provide these military supplies for the army and solve X's urgent need, then Wang Zhen will sell the land and land to whomever he wants. "
Wu Ying'er nodded as if suddenly, he understood what Zhang Zhao meant.
As expected, Zhang Sikong was a smart man. He couldn't take away the property of General Wang Zhen's family, so he wanted to exchange it for the military supplies needed by the army.
The purpose of his trial was to win over the common people, so by letting him, Wu Ying'er, handle the property and homestead of General Wang Zhen's family at this moment, he was trying to win over the local wealthy families.
Only the local nobles and common people thought of him well, and he used the Wang family's property to tie them into the chariot, completely cutting off the possibility of collaborating with the rebels. In this way, the Guiyi army would be able to set off with peace of mind and go east to conquer He Chuan and other thieves.
Thinking of this, Wu Ying'er felt relieved. If it was just that General Wang Zhen's family was unlucky, he would definitely be indifferent.
Moreover, for people like Zhang Zhao, the house and fields of General Wang Zhen's family were worthless to eat and tasteful to throw away.
But for locals like them, it is a good thing that cannot be bought with a lot of money. At least when Wang Zhenji is here, they can't even think about these fertile lands.
So Wu Ying'er stood up, cupped her hands in front of Zhang Zhao, and said excitedly.
"Please Sikong, please wait for a moment. I will go to discuss with the local nobles immediately. I will use all my food, weapons, and civilians to help the army put down the rebellion."
Seeing Wu Ying'er hurried out, Zhang Zhao immediately felt relieved. As long as he tied all the wealthy people and civilians in Weizhou to his chariot, he would immediately be in a position where he could advance and attack and retreat and defend. .
So Zhang Zhao waved his hand and asked Dunzhu beside him to summon the personal guards of Hanshandu, and brought thousands of Weizhou people who were noisy outside the door, and everyone headed towards Wangjiawu Fort.
Zhang Zhao rode a white horse high-spirited and galloped at the front. Behind him were the Weizhou people who were shouting with excitement. This was quite a bit like, "Follow me with a gun in hand, kill Shiro and rob the watchtower."
General Wang Zhen suddenly felt something bad after Wu Ying'er left and never returned. More and more tribesmen ran madly back to Wangjiawu Fort to report back. General Wang Zhen had no choice but to order the gate of Wubao to be closed again to strengthen defense.
As soon as the gate of Wangjiawu Fort closed, Zhang Zhao arrived. He personally held a large trumpet made of rolled iron and shouted loudly at Wangjiawu Fort.
"General Wang Zhen, the court has its own laws. As a court official, you have not thought about benefiting the village for many years in Weizhou. Instead, you have robbed, exploited and exploited the people. If you open the door now, someone may be able to plead for you in front of the villagers. Personal feelings."
At this moment, the situation had become clear, and General Wang Zhen was ready to take the risk. He stood on the roof of Wubao and cursed at Zhang Zhao.
"The Hexi dog thief who keeps his word, I am so blind that I believed you, a man-eating wolf. People outside also listen up. This thief destroyed my Wang family, how can he spare you?"
Zhang Zhaoran smiled, then waved his hand, and two tall two-humped camels carrying cyclone cannons arrived in front of Wubao. At this moment, Wu Ying'er also arrived with the rich men in the city.
Witnessed by thousands of Weizhou people, the seemingly solid Wangjiawu Fort was smashed through by the stones thrown by the cyclone cannon in just a few hits. Then the Hanshandu warriors wearing heavy armor smashed through the barbarian bear. Under the leadership, they swarmed in.
In just one cup of tea, the young members of the Wang family on both sides of the gate were cleared away.
Wu Ying'er led the Weizhou clan and civilians and rushed in, howling. Within half an hour, more than 300 men had gathered in Wangjiawu Fort, but not a single Wang family man was left standing.
Zhang Zhao originally wanted to seize Wang Zhen for a public trial in the future, so as to show that he was acting in accordance with the law and was completely different from other commanders and warriors, but he never thought that this old guy still had a strong personality.
After seeing the soldiers unable to resist Zhang Zhao, General Wang Zhen jumped directly from the roof of Wubao and landed on his head.
All right! In this case, Zhang Zhao no longer had the desire to continue performing, so he summoned Guo Tiance and his two cousins from the Song family to give detailed instructions.
Wang Zhenjiang committed suicide, but not everyone in the Wang family was necessarily guilty. Zhang Zhao asked them not to be too involved, and to ensure that people in Weizhou were not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately or commit adultery.
