The atmosphere in the camp was solemn.
Pudan sat in the main seat, while Chanshu and Abuluo sat on the left and right below.
Not long after, the curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and a large number of nobles from the Western Regions entered.
The leader is a tall, capable and brave middle-aged man with pigtails and short ear-length hair.
The middle-aged man's name is Li Guangshan, a surname from the Central Plains.
It is said that Li Guangshan's ancestor is Li Ling, but many people regard this origin as a joke. Li Ling lived in the Western Han Dynasty. It has been more than three hundred years since then. Who knows what happened?
What's more, Li Guangshan was a businessman in his early years, and he did business in Qiuci Kingdom, and then he gradually developed.
Few people believe in such a person who has no background or inheritance.
However, Li Guangshan was quite brave and had a bold personality. He also made friends with a group of people and was quite prestigious.
This time, Li Guangshan took his troops to participate in the crusade against Tianzhu and made many achievements. He was a businessman and paid more attention to property. He relied on his own strength to plunder a large amount of property. When Tianzhu was completely taken down, he would slowly digest it.
After Li Guangshan entered, other nobles from the Western Regions entered one after another, including Bu Liang, Bu Shan's younger brother, Agul, a noble from Qiancheng, and Feng Jing, a noble from Dawan Kingdom and others.
More than twenty people gathered.
These people are more or less in hiding.
In fact, it is no secret that people from various countries in the Western Region hide their secrets. They each have their own plans and are unwilling to hand over money and materials in accordance with the agreed ratio. For these people, if they can hide a little privately, they will gain more benefits.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a good deal.
After everyone arrived, Li Guangshan, as the largest force among them, said: "Master Pudan, what's the matter with you calling all of us here?"
Bu Liang said: "Please express it clearly, Lord Pudan."
Others spoke one after another.
These people don't have much respect for Pu Dan.
Nobles from various countries in the Western Regions, regardless of their size, all belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Pu Dan looked calm and said with a smile: "The purpose of inviting you here is to settle the financial arrangements for Tianzhu that we have snatched. According to the agreement with His Majesty, we each captured the Brahmins and Kshatriyas and robbed their supplies. 50-50 with the imperial court.”
"As far as I know, everyone here has more or less hidden secrets."
"Here, I call on you to act as agreed, and truthfully hand over the money that does not belong to us to His Majesty and hand it over to the court for disposal."
"Otherwise, problems can easily arise."
Pu Dan talked eloquently and said: "We have followed His Majesty in sweeping Tianzhu and have robbed a large amount of supplies. Next, when Tianzhu is pacified, we will be rewarded based on our merits and we will be rewarded. What you are doing now is the most short-sighted decision. , will cause great harm to us.”
Li Guangshan frowned.
He looked cold and solemn, even more dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Pu Dan, what you said is wrong. All of us fought hard for the Ming Emperor and made meritorious deeds. All of us paid All the money was paid truthfully, and there was no hiding anything for personal gain. It is a joke for you to say that we are hiding something for personal gain."
There was no way he would admit it.
Once you admit it, you have to hand over the money you got.
Li Guangshan looked around and said loudly: "Everyone, we act upright and should not accept such slander. What's more, even if your Pudan daughter marries the emperor, you cannot suppress us like this."
"You can't afford it. If you want to use tricks against us, I won't accompany you."
"I'm leaving."
"I, Li Guangshan, will not accompany you."
"As long as the emperor doesn't give the order, who are you people to judge?"
Li Guangshan flicked his sleeves and said: "Pudan, let me tell you something, don't regard yourself as a member of the Ming Dynasty. Although you are respected by the emperor, you are still useful. Once you are no longer useful, I will destroy you at any time." . We Western Region people are our own people, and we must distinguish between those who are close and those who are not."
"Farewell!"
Li Guangshan strode out.
"I'm leaving too, I won't accompany you."
The nobles of Dawan Kingdom closed the prison, stood up and walked out.
A crowd of people stood up with a roar, all with evil eyes, and did not pay attention to Pudan, Chanshu and Abeluo. In the eyes of these people, they are not afraid of Pu Dan and others, they have their own power.
Pu Dan saw it in his eyes and smiled coldly. He had already made preparations.
"Get it for me!"
Pu Dan ordered loudly.
The swordsmen and axemen who had been prepared long ago rushed into the camp with a roar, and met Li Guangshan and others who were walking out, and captured them all together. The other nobles of the Western Region who did not stand up became nervous.
His eyes fell on Pu Dan.
Somewhat unhappy.
Li Guangshan said angrily: "Pu Dan, you dare to plot against me, are you going to start an internal strife? If you kill me now, all the soldiers under my command will rebel immediately. When the time comes, it will affect the emperor's attack on Huashi City, you can bear the responsibility ?"
Feng Yu screamed: "Pudan, you are too bold."
Other people who were arrested also kept shouting.
Pu Dan stood up with a normal expression and said: "Those who do not abide by the Ming Dynasty's rules also speak arrogant words. If you are left here, trouble will inevitably arise. Kill all those who come."
The soldiers took action quickly, and bursts of screams were heard. Li Guangshan, Feng Yu and others were all killed.
Bu Liang saw something in his eyes.
He looked a little solemn.
Fortunately, he didn't get up and leave just now. After all, his elder brother was Bu Shan and also served in the Western Region.
Bu Liang was also greedy for a little money. He was a little nervous and asked: "Master Pudan, you have killed so many people, what else do you want to do? Do you want to kill us too?"
Everyone else looked over, their eyes fearful and even more nervous.
Pudan's methods are very ruthless.
If you say kill, kill.
This is very scary.
The key is that they are in Pu Dan's camp, surrounded by Pu Dan's soldiers, and Pu Dan can kill people at any time.
They have no protection.
Pu Dan smiled and said: "Bu Liang, brothers, you have all misunderstood me. I kill people, not because I am bloodthirsty, but because I kill for Your Majesty. Anyone who is not loyal to Your Majesty will be killed."
"Anyone who disobeys His Majesty's orders will be killed."
"Anyone who resists the Ming Dynasty will be killed."
"Li Guangshan and others fought against the Ming Dynasty, went against His Majesty, did not listen to His Majesty's arrangements, and did not abide by the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they will be punished."
After Pu Dan explained, he changed the topic and suddenly said: "Li Guangshan and others have been killed. As for you, you have violated more or less. Will the extra money in your hands be handed over to the court?"
Bu Liang said: "I will fully cooperate."
Other people expressed their opinions one after another.
People are under the roof, especially Pu Dan, who represents the emperor. They have no choice.
Pu Dan praised: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as you cooperate obediently, everything will be easy to handle. This time, the soldiers of Li Guangshan, Feng Yu and others were controlled and distributed equally to everyone. The soldiers of Li Guangshan, Feng Yu and others The wealth, in addition to what is paid to His Majesty, is also distributed equally to all.”
boom! !
The crowd was excited.
All of them had bright eyes and excited emotions.
Soldiers and money are what the nobles and wealthy people in the Western Regions crave most.
Bu Liang also understood the key and benefits in an instant, and said loudly: "Lord of Pudan, I, Bo Liang, swear to be loyal to your majesty to the death and support your majesty's arrangements. I will make up for everything I have not paid to your majesty this time. Don’t do it again.”
"Master Pudan, I will also make up for them all."
"Master Pudan, I will also make up for it."
One by one, the nobles of the Western Regions expressed their opinions. These people who were reluctant to speak before now agree with it. Li Guangshan, Feng Yu and others were killed. They were panic-stricken and were in danger. Some of them were saddened by their deaths.
Now that they have become benefit recipients, it is completely different.
On the contrary, they all support it.
One by one, they were eager to plunder all the belongings of Li Guangshan, Feng Jiao and others.
With a smile in his eyes, Pu Dan ordered: "In that case, everyone, go and prepare, mobilize troops and horses, and follow me to accept the soldiers and property of Li Guangshan and others. After all materials are tallied, I will see your Majesty again."
Everyone nodded in unison.
They all went to prepare themselves.
Abuluo and Chanshu both agreed with Pudan's arrangement and went to prepare it.
The private soldiers of the nobles of the Western Regions, headed by Pudan, Abelo, and Chanshu, annexed the soldiers of Li Guangshan, Feng Yu and others in half a day, and captured all the money transferred to Huashi City.
After everything was counted, Bu Liang and others also paid the money again.
Pu Dan took the list with him and went straight to Lu Xuan's camp to ask for an audience. He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have verified that there are people involved in the case among the nobles of the Western Regions. Now I have killed a group of hopeless people and left them behind." A group of people."
"In order to stabilize people's hearts and avoid unrest among the nobles of the Western Regions, I allow those who are willing to repent to make up for the missing money. At the same time, half of the property of the nobles of the Western Regions who were executed will be handed over to the court, and the other half will be equally distributed to the remaining nobles of the Western Regions."
"To facilitate and stabilize people's hearts."
Pu Dan took out the list and held it in his hand, cupping his hands and saying, "I don't know whether the handling is appropriate or not. Please give me your Majesty's advice."
Lu Xuan smiled softly.
Pu Dan and others are really good.
Hear the string song and know its elegant meaning!
Lu Xuan wanted to test Pudan, Abeluo, Chanshu and others. The current treatment has solved the selfish people among the nobles of the Western Regions and those who were unwilling to cooperate. At the same time, more supplies were also seized.
Lu Xuan took the list and looked at it carefully. There were a lot of supplies.
These money, treasures, jade, gems, gold, etc. are all carefully listed, and the corresponding food, grass, and equipment are also there.
Lu Xuan put away the list and praised: "Pu Dan, you have done a very good job. You have made great contributions to this arrangement."
Pu Dan said piously: "These are all matters within the scope of my duties."
Lu Xuan said: "What award do you want?"
When Pu Dan heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly became excited. He didn't expect that he would receive such a reward for completing the task.
