In the messy boudoir, a beautiful woman in her thirties wearing a green gauze chest-length skirt was tied to the ground.
Red blood drops were scattered on her chest. Green, white, and red were intertwined with each other, giving people a special sense of beauty.
Although her right arm was bandaged with a cloth strip, blood was already seeping out.
[Su Fang, the deputy head of the Dongyang Branch of Wuhua Hall, was born in Chun'an, Muzhou, and was born in the early stage of Xiantian Seed. 】
The deputy head of the Dongyang branch was easily taken down by Qiu Zhenmu, and was not worth mentioning at all.
All thirty killers in Lichun Court were killed by crossbows, spears and hooks, and no one survived.
Su Fang looked at the people in front of her with an expression of resentment, and tried her best to pounce on them and bite those on the opposite side, but unfortunately, the hemp rope on her body was tied too tightly.
Circle after circle, it's hard to move, but it's a bit of a happy moment.
But at this moment, no one was paying attention to her. Even though the scenery was charming, it couldn't compare to the roster on the table.
Looking at the nearly forty names written in detail on the roster, Li Xuan looked at County Lieutenant Kang Yao in disbelief: "Isn't this a fake?"
Before Kang Yao spoke, the county magistrate Gu Tan directly intervened: "It can't be fake. This includes not only Mr. Li and Huang Canjun, but also several people under Si Cao Canjun, the Chief Secretary, and the Judicial Canjun." , even if there are occasional leaks, the people on this must be the traitors' accomplices."
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's true. We can't let down our guard because of this, but we can't wrong others because of this. Even if it's everyone on this list, we must stay in their homes or other places where they live. Only with all the evidence found and evidence can the final conviction be made."
"Your Majesty is thoughtful." Gu Tan and Kang Yao both handed over their hands at the same time, but the excitement and joy in their expressions remained undisguised.
The reason why the two of them hurried over from the county government office was because with this list alone, they could eradicate all the Tianyin Sect bandits in the entire Dongyang County.
I don’t know how much I will save.
As long as all the Tianyin Sect bandits in the entire Dongyang County are eradicated, then they can slowly clear up the entire Dongyang tax book bit by bit.
"Your Majesty, can we leave now?" Detective Hu Ji beside him could no longer bear it.
Today, even the top soldiers under Bing Cao have made great contributions, and only the police officers under him have made the least contribution.
That's fine with other things, but they are the best at house-to-house searches and arrests.
Li Xuan did not agree immediately, but continued to flip through the list in front of him, and then seemed to be talking to himself: "Except for some people in the county government, the people in this list are all ordinary people in the city, and those outside the city. There is not a single person, and there is not even a wealthy family or a scholarly family, but there are only thirty ordinary people, a full thirty."
"Indeed, these thirty people are distributed in more than a dozen different villages. Some villages have only three or two people, and some have as many as five or six. This should be divided according to the population. Once there are If something happens, these people will immediately cause unrest throughout the city." Gu Tan could imagine what would happen if something happened to Dongyang.
"These people are not ordinary Tianyin cultists. They are all warriors who are good at fighting. Thirty of them, a good thirty." Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Su Fang who was tied to the ground, and sneered: "Gu There were thirty people on the other side of the tower, and now there were thirty people in Lichun Court, and there were thirty people on this list, so there were unknown number of thirty people outside the city, all of them elite warriors who had fought on the battlefield.
But the layout of Tianyin Sect in Dongyang, in addition to these warriors, there are more believers of Tianyin Goddess. Once there is a change, with these elite warriors as the core, they can rise up and spread throughout the country in a short time. Dongyang.
Those ordinary believers who are not on the roster are the difficulty in handling this time. Gu Xiancheng, I remember you once said that there are many of these people in Dongyang. "
Gu Tan's face
With a slight change, Li Xuan completely exposed Tianyin Sect's entire plan in Dongyang in just a few words.
However, although there are only thirty people on the roster, once the spread spreads, even three hundred people will not be able to stop it.
"There are many believers of the Goddess Tianyin in Dongyang. If we arrest them all, even if the county jail is full, they won't be able to release them." Gu Tan could only hand over Li Xuan in a begging manner, and said with some embarrassment: "The prince also once said However, for matters like this, the prince’s methods should be more appropriate.”
"Of course, but only if you listen!" Li Xuan looked at Gu Tan with a half-smile. .z.br>
He already had a set of methods to deal with the Tianyin cultists in his mind, but he was afraid that Gu Tan would not dare to execute them, or that he would selectively execute them.
"I will definitely obey orders." Gu Tan also stared at Li Xuan, he was really curious about Li Xuan's methods.
Li Xuan smiled faintly and said: "Let's search the homes first, one by one. I believe that in these people's homes, you will be able to find things like tablets, portraits and sculptures... It doesn't take much more. If you do it, in whose house you find it, let everyone in his family spit on it... As long as he spits on it, the person's sin of consecutive imprisonment will be reduced by one degree."
"Your Majesty, that is the crime of conspiracy and conspiracy!" Gu Tan couldn't help but remind him.
"Of course." Li Xuan nodded calmly, and then said: "I know this. What I am really targeting is not the family of the rebel bandit, but the rebel bandit himself. If under the influence of his family, he can I regret it, and I don’t mind asking your majesty to absolve him of the crime of beheading. If he cannot, then let him confront his family..."
Gu Tan and Kang Yao looked at each other, looking at each other, but they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
There is no sign of repentance, this is obviously a way to kill one's heart.
If the family of a Tianyin believer spurns the tablets, portraits and carvings of Saint Tianyin, the whole family will immediately become enemies of each other.
Who knows what will happen when they bite each other.
Gu Tan suddenly raised his eyes and couldn't help but said: "My lord, this is not for a Tianyin family, but for all the people in the city.
The prince is warning and frightening more people to the consequences of worshiping the Goddess Tianyin. Either their wives and children will be separated, their families will turn against each other, or they will be executed by the whole family.
As a result, in Dongyang, there will be very few people who are still willing to become Tianyin believers, and they will even be cast aside by the whole city. "
A faint smile appeared on Li Xuan's face, she shook her head, saying that she may not be so calculating, and said with emotion: "Actually, there are still many shallow believers who still have the opportunity to turn around."
Gu Tan wanted to smile, but couldn't. He could only hold up his hands and said, "I obey the prince's order and go and do it immediately."
"Be louder. If someone is willing to repent, you can pull him in front of the neighbors to show how strong his heart is." Li Xuan paused for a moment, turned around, looked at Su Fang on the ground and said, "If not, you can If you think of a way to make one or two, you don’t need my teachings.”
"Yes!" Gu Tan, Kang Yao, and everyone else in the room retreated at the same time.
Inexplicably, they all felt a chill.
Li Xuan lowered her body, reached out to touch Su Fang's smooth cheek, and said softly: "If those arrested tonight are still unwilling to repent, then tomorrow at noon, all of them will be beheaded in front of the whole city."
Su Fang's eyes suddenly revealed immense hatred.
Because she was also beheaded here.
"How many people in this building do you think will survive tonight?" Li Xuan looked out the window and could see women in gauze being pulled out one after another from a distance.
These are all the female prostitutes in this brothel, some are popular, some are not so popular, some are servants, maids and servants, and a group of young girls who have not yet been trained well.
"Now they are all guilty of treason. In my opinion, exile for three thousand miles is the lightest punishment. As women, you should know what the most severe punishment is for them... The war is about to begin, and the army is gathering!" Li Xuan's voice was faint.
, but kept drilling into Su Fang’s ears.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Su Fang twisted her body vigorously and tried to curse, but the cloth in her mouth blocked her mouth tightly.
Li Xuan pinched Su Fang's small chin with one hand and looked at her with cold eyes: "You should have expected this outcome. Even if there is no army from the imperial court, your people will not let these go." Poor woman, so don’t act like a holy mother... If you really want to save those people, then tell me who the leader of your Tianyin Sect in Dongyang is?"
Just one word from Li Xuan, and Su Fang's expression changed.
"Is it weird? I wonder why I know this person?" Li Xuan sneered and said disdainfully: "With your methods, you can only succeed with Huang Ziming in the end, but if you want to do it with an old woman like Master Li, It’s almost impossible for a cunning old fox to succeed, and he won’t think highly of you, a bustard who comes from a lowly background..."
"Why can't it be him?" Su Fang blurted out one sentence, and at some point, Li Xuan had already pulled the cloth off her mouth.
"Of course it can't be him. The rules of the officialdom are too strict. Even if he is the chief clerk, he can't do whatever he wants.
Now is when we are in a tight situation. If the person in charge is trapped in the government, how can he predict and deal with it in time? Therefore, your hall leader, even if he is from the government, must be someone who can travel around Dongyang at any time. The place is not limited to the kind of people in the county. In this way, there will be much fewer such people. "
Li Xuan leaned back weakly, with a look of thought on her face.
At this moment, Su Fang seemed to be able to clearly see several names, flashing through Li Xuan's eyes, including the person she was most worried about.
Li Xuan suddenly lowered his head, looked at Su Fang, and suddenly laughed: "I know who it is. I didn't expect that it was him. With his background and status, he would actually be connected with your people. How strange and strange it is!"
"No, it's not him. You are thinking wildly, not him." Li Xuan shook his head and said softly: "In the entire Dongyang, there are only three or five people with such influence. Zen Master Enji of Dadong Temple, County I learned Zhou Jijiu, and Liu, the son of the leader of the most powerful clan in Dongyang and known as the most talented person in Dongyang..."
"No, it's not him, it's really not him. You guessed wrong, you guessed wrong." Su Fang kept moving, trying to pounce on Li Xuan.
But Li Xuan just turned around slightly and avoided it. He stood up expressionlessly, and then said in an unusually indifferent tone: "Thank you for your direct confirmation. I have five or six candidates." , but you gave the answer easily.
Tomorrow, I will invite Mr. Liu to watch the execution and let him watch his men being executed one by one in front of him. Do you think he will save them or not? "
"You devil." Su Fang roared and looked at Li Xuan. Seeing that Li Xuan couldn't pounce, she gritted her teeth hard and made "crack, bang, bang, bang," sounds.
Li Xuan leaned over and looked at Su Fang, and whispered: "Those who were executed this time were basically Tianyin gangsters who were caught without remorse... Don't worry, you are not among them."
"Uh!" Su Fang was stunned for a moment. The next moment, she saw Li Xuan had walked to the door, and a heartbreaking roar suddenly sounded: "Stop, no, I beg you, kill me." ..."
"Your Majesty, do we really want to kill so many people at once tomorrow at noon?"
"Of course not. Killing a criminal at noon requires an imperial edict, let alone treason... But if someone comes to rob the execution ground, that's another matter!"
