This scene frightened a bunch of rogues.
On weekdays, they oppress the people and do all kinds of evil. They collude with the government and are lawless. They think no one can control them. How have they ever seen such a scene?
Faced with the suppression of the regular army, only one round of arrows was fired. Except for the people who were shot over, the rest of the minions had already been frightened and could no longer retreat. There was no one who dared to resist.
"Everyone put down their weapons!"
With this sound, a thousand soldiers once again stood ready. Under such circumstances, the rogues who retreated to the corner first looked left and right, and then out of fear, they let go of someone's hand.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of sticks falling to the ground one after another.
"Take them all!" Xiao Yuan shouted coldly again.
Following his order, a large number of soldiers immediately came forward and began to work in groups of two to kneel the minions on the ground and tie them up.
The scene has been completely controlled. At this time, Ding Laosi was also a little panicked. You must know that there were one or two hundred of his men, and now they have all been captured. In the past, how could the officers and soldiers have the courage!
What's more, he had already colluded with the Qinzhou government. In his mind, even if such a thing happened, he should have been notified long ago.
But how could he have imagined that this time it was the largest one in Qinzhou, the prefect of Qinzhou personally issued the order, and the manpower was urgently transferred from the army, and not a single officer or soldier was used at all.
Looking at the young man wearing black brocade clothes and giving orders in front of him, Ding Laosi's confidence became a little weak. He didn't know Xiao Yuan's identity at all, so he couldn't help but ask: "You...who are you?" !”
"Take them all away!" Xiao Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and waved his hand directly.
"Who are you! Do you know that I am Lord Changshi's nephew! How dare you arrest me! Be careful and your head will be in danger——"
Ding Laosi was still shouting, but no one paid attention to him. Several soldiers came forward, immediately knocked him to the ground and tied him up.
In the past, as long as he announced Guo Qian's name, no one in the entire Qinzhou would be afraid of him, no matter whether he was a senior official, a junior official, or an officer or a soldier. But today, no one paid any attention to him, which made Ding Laosi feel faint. I feel like I'm in for a disaster.
Next, the army began to escort the bullies.
Because a large number of troops took to the streets before, and the commotion in the outer city area, it was already a commotion at this moment. When we came to the street again, it was already a sea of people, and there were countless people watching on both sides.
Looking at the group of bullies being escorted by the army, some people started pointing and talking:
"I asked why there were so many soldiers on the streets before. It turned out they were arresting Ding Laosi and the others..."
"How could Ding Laosi be caught? It's incredible..."
"Yes, I heard that this guy has an unusual relationship with Master Changshi, and he can end up like this..."
"Yes, this Ding Laosi has always been lawless and has done all kinds of evil things because of the support of the government, but he has never been punished..."
"No, haven't you heard? It is said that a new governor has arrived in Qinzhou. This is probably the order given by the governor. Otherwise, who would dare to touch this bully..."
"That's right, that's right. I've also heard about this. If it's really the prefect who did it, then our Qinzhou will change..."
"Okay, if we catch the bullies, we people will no longer have to be bullied by them in the future..."
The crowd was talking about everything, but without exception, they all thought that Ding Laosi was full of evil deeds. At this time, someone among the people shouted:
"Good catch! Bring them to justice!"
"Bring him to justice——"
Someone took the initiative, and many people started to shout along. It can be seen that the crimes of Ding Laosi and other bullies have reached the point where people and gods are angry. The people of Qinzhou have already hated him to the bone.
Listening to the cries of the people on both sides, the soldiers became more energetic, thinking that they had done a meaningful thing, eliminated the bullies, brought justice to the people, and received people's recognition and praise.
Xiao Yuan also began to say to Ye Cheng: "Have you heard the voices of the people? It is imperative to eliminate all bullies in Qin."
"That's what the adults said." Ye Cheng replied quickly.
The team marched forward in a mighty manner, and a group of bullies were quickly taken into prison and held pending trial.
After returning to the Prefect's Mansion, Ye Cheng also rushed over that afternoon, preparing to make a preliminary report to Xiao Yuan.
"Sir." In the study, Ye Cheng first clasped his fists and saluted, then moved the corners of his mouth, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, put down the bamboo slips and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This..." Ye Cheng organized his words and said: "This Ding Laosi is so abominable. We just searched his den and found that he had set up a private dungeon and imprisoned dozens of young women in it."
"And after preliminary interrogation, these women were found to be ordinary people. Most of them were in their twenties and eight years. They were originally Huanghua girls, but they were forcibly abducted by Ding Laosi using various means, whipped, forced into prostitution, and some Those who disobey will be...beaten to death by them."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes also showed a cold light.
Ye Cheng continued: "In addition, according to the evidence currently available, Ding Laosi also colluded with officers and soldiers to extort people's money, and also committed murder, arson, burning, murder and rape..."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan interrupted him: "Ding Laosi does not need to be tried again. His crime is enough to make him die more than a dozen times. He will be beheaded at noon tomorrow."
After saying that, he asked again: "Where are the women who were rescued?"
"They are all still there. Many of them have been tortured beyond their appearance." Ye Cheng returned.
"Hey." Xiao Yuan sighed and said, "After asking, let's put them all back and let them go home. This Ding Laosi has done too many sins."
"Yes." Ye Cheng responded, then asked: "Sir, what about Ding Laosi's men? How to deal with them?"
"Just how it should be tried."
Xiao Yuan said directly: "Search for evidence of his crimes one by one. Those with minor crimes will be imprisoned, those with serious crimes will be punished accordingly, and those with the most evil crimes will be executed together."
After saying that, he warned: "This operation to eliminate the bullies will be fully led by your Wuwei Mansion, not only in Qinzhou City, but also in various counties and counties. This matter is not a small matter and should not be taken lightly. Can we return the favor to Qin State?" The peace of the people will also directly determine whether it is necessary for you to establish the Wuwei Mansion, and it will also determine whether it is necessary for you, the upcoming General of the Wuwei, to take office."
His meaning was already obvious. Although Xiao Yuan established the Wuwei Mansion verbally, if this matter was not handled well, there would be no future.
Hearing this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but trembled, and immediately responded: "Yes! Sir, please rest assured! I will give you an explanation for my humble position, and I will give an explanation to the people of Qin!"
