Zhang Beichen had long expected that something like this would happen. If he tried to stop these thousands of people now, he would be hacked to death, the same fate as the previous county magistrate.
"We should be there soon." Zhang Beichen looked towards the horizon and saw a row of black figures approaching quickly.
It was a cavalry squad, headed by a black-armored general, riding a horned beast, galloping across the wilderness like flying.
The black-armored general arrived first. He held a spear and shot it towards an open space.
I saw the spear passing by like a meteor, and then hitting the ground hard!
"Boom!" Like a thunderous explosion, a huge deep pit was smashed on the ground, and earth and rocks flew. This huge movement suddenly calmed everyone fighting.
The black-armored general had arrived at this time, and he shouted to everyone: "The black-armored army Che Yang is here, who dares to be so presumptuous?"
His voice released a wave of energy that would make anyone without cultivation unsteady, retreat or fall to the ground!
Taking advantage of this time, the cavalry from behind had also arrived and separated the fighting people.
The weapon fighters also knew very well that no matter how fierce they fought, they were not qualified to fight the army, so they all watched them warily.
"Who is Mr. Zhang?" Black-armored General Che Yang looked at everyone.
"It's me." Zhang Beichen stood up, cupped his hands to Che Yang and said, "Thank you, General, for your help!"
"It doesn't matter." Che Yang jumped off the evil beast and said, "Why are there so many people fighting with weapons today?"
There are too many people gathered here. If they are not stopped in time, it may turn into a riot!
"I will solve the problem of grabbing water," Zhang Beichen said.
"Yeah." Che Yang asked people to continue to suppress them, but these people still refused to retreat. It was obvious that if Che Yang's people left, they would continue to fight.
Bai Liangpu and Yang Shan seemed to have anticipated the development of the matter. They were not in a hurry and just waited there to see how Zhang Beichen would handle it.
So many people died, and so many people participated in the fighting. According to the "Grass Reclamation Order" issued by Zhang Beichen, these thousands of people will be punished!
But if you can fine thousands of people at once, it won't trigger a civil uprising?
The custom of the Qin State is that the law does not punish the public. If there is no punishment, Zhang Beichen's "Grass Reclamation Order" will be in vain, and he will also face the backlash of the national destiny!
Even if Zhang Beichen finds a way to get through, armed fights will continue to happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow!
At that time, it will not be a question of whether Zhang Beichen will be a county magistrate or not. According to Qin law, ruling in chaos is also a capital crime!
Bai Liangpu, Bai Liangju and Yang Shan were all waiting to see the show, but the two parties separated by the cavalry were still scolding each other and had no intention of giving up.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Beichen is in trouble. Even if it were me, it wouldn't be easy to handle." In the distance, the two of them were looking at each other.
It was Ying Yiren and Jing Ping. Today, Ying Yiren was patrolling the military camp when he met Zhang Beichen and asked Che Yang to come over and help.
Hearing that there was a commotion, Ying Yiren also came to check.
After Ying Yiren thought for a moment, she knew the plans of the Bai family and the Yang family. The two families deliberately indulged the people below and caused them to fight.
If Zhang Beichen was under strict control and was beaten to death in the chaos, they could just find someone to take the blame. Failure to do so would be a crime of ineffective governance.
Even now, Zhang Beichen has calmed down and let Che Yang lead the cavalry, but the situation is still difficult. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of being "broken"!
"These guys deserve to die!" Ying Yiren looked at Bai Liangpu and others with cold eyes, with a hint of murderous intent in her tone!
Jing Ping was shocked. He knew very well that although Ying Yiren was a woman, she had served as a hussar general before she ascended the throne and had fought many times on the battlefield. Her murderous intention was not fake.
"Your Majesty values Zhang Beichen more than I thought!" Jing Ping also became more and more curious, why is this?
Zhang Beichen walked among the crowd and scolded: "This county has issued a decree prohibiting private fighting and armed fighting. What crime should you be punished if you know the law and break it?"
"They were the ones who started it!"
"It's none of my business, I'm just joining in the fun!"
"Come on, arrest me, there are thousands of people, arrest them all! We happen to have no rice at home, does the county government take care of the rice?"
"The law does not punish everyone, don't be afraid!" some people in the crowd shouted loudly.
Che Yang felt embarrassed. He could neither release nor arrest him now.
Zhang Beichen looked at Che Yang and said: "General Che Yang, please help arrest them all. Anyone who dares to resist will be regarded as resisting the law and will be killed without mercy!"
Che Yang hesitated for a moment and then ordered his men, "Catch them all."
Zhang Beichen shouted to everyone at the same time: "Everyone, listen, you have all violated the law, but there are serious and serious differences. Now the county wants you to stay at ease, otherwise you will be regarded as thugs and beheaded on the spot."
"This county will judge you clearly on the severity of your guilt!"
The soldiers began to arrest people. Some people wanted to escape, but Zhang Beichen directly used gold-lettered French words.
If the word "punishment" falls on that person, he will be unable to move.
This is one of the functions of Zhang Beichen's "Reward and Punishment Order".
There were still people who wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but Zhang Beichen did not hesitate at all. He turned his spiritual power into a golden sword and killed them!
Seeing that the young magistrate really dared to kill people, the fighters calmed down a little. Their hands were tied with ropes and they squatted together.
"Master Zhang, are you planning to execute all these people?" Bai Liangpu asked, "They are all people under your rule. If there is a fight, it is your incompetence. How can you blame them?"
"How do you want to punish them? I hope you solve it here today, otherwise, I don't think everyone will agree to you taking them away!"
As Bai Liangpu said, another group of people came from a distance. This group of people included warriors, as well as the old, weak, sick and disabled.
As soon as they arrived, someone threatened and shouted: "Let them go!"
Some people knelt on the ground and begged: "Sir, my husband didn't do anything! Please let him go!"
"Sir, my son was deceived. He is not guilty!"
"Sir, if you take my grandson away, our family will have no one to support us, and we will have to wait for death!"
They stopped in front of Zhang Beichen. It was obvious that Bai Liangpu and others were prepared and would not let Zhang Beichen take these people back to the county government for processing. Zhang Beichen can arrest those who have broken the law, but these people in front of him have not broken the law. Can Zhang Beichen still arrest them?
Seeing this, Zhang Beichen said loudly: "Everyone, I know that some of these people include your family and friends. It is human nature for you to worry about them."
"Some of them knew the law and broke it, and some were deceived and made mistakes. In this case, this county will hold a public trial here and now today to give you an explanation!"
"Ada, the legislative field!" Zhang Beichen ordered.
"Yes!" A group of officers immediately surrounded an open space, and all the prisoners were detained around the open space, with soldiers watching beside them.
Thousands of pairs of eyes are all looking at Zhang Beichen. Once he commits any injustice in law enforcement, the scene will definitely turn into a riot!
Zhang Beichen stood in the middle, looking at the prisoners with blazing eyes, and said loudly: "The first to be tried are the felons. What are felons? Those who lead the fight, those who incite the fight, and those who kill in the fight! The above prisoners, come out!"
After he finished speaking, no one among the thousands of prisoners came forward. It was so confusing just now, who knows who it is?
Seeing this, Zhang Beichen once again used the "Grass Reclamation Order" blessed by his national destiny. This time, he used the ability effect of his golden skin [Sacrifice oneself] to directly sacrifice his own essence and spiritual power. The effect of the spell is increased three times.
"Heroes, come out and take the punishment!" Zhang Beichen shouted again, his voice had a shocking effect. Immediately, some people became unstable, their legs became weak, and they fell to their knees.
At the same time, balls of light appeared on the "Grass Reclamation Order" and flew towards everyone. Until a ball of light appeared on everyone's head, some light, some deep, and some pure black.
Zhang Beichen's face turned a little pale, which was due to excessive consumption. He quickly ordered: "Category according to black, gray, and light colors. Black is a serious criminal, gray is an ordinary criminal, and light colors are minor criminals."
"Yes!" The officers and soldiers classified the prisoners, but the light lasted for less than ten seconds before disappearing. In just these ten seconds, Zhang Beichen felt as if he had stayed up for three days and three nights without sleeping, and was overly exhausted.
The felons were brought to Zhang Beichen. There were twenty-one of them in total, including those who organized armed fights and some who committed murder.
They knelt in front of Zhang Beichen, looking dissatisfied. Zhang Beichen found that they were all very old, some even had gray hair, and they were already old enough to be grandfathers.
Just as he was wondering, Liu Wen's expression changed and he whispered in Zhang Beichen's ear: "Sir, we are in trouble again. These people can't be killed!"
