Chapter 140: Two Families of Social Death

"We say ......"

Miao Lao Er and Zhao Sheng were also scared by the three words Qin Guogong.

These hands that have killed tens of thousands of people are pulling the back of their necks, and the pressure is so numbing that it makes the scalp tingle.

"It's Bian Fan, the son of the Luoyang County Commander, and Chen Qu, the son of the Luoyang County Lieutenant, we were also forced......"

"Grandpa Guo, this is the letter they exchanged with us, and I always carry ...... with me."

The two of them resolutely and truthfully confessed, and even handed over key evidence, even though they did not have any understanding of the circle of the upper nobles of the Tang Dynasty, but they also knew very well that the son of the Luoyang County Commander and the Luoyang County Lieutenant could not be compared to Li Yan, a serious prince.

"Luoyang County Linghe County Lieutenant?"

After listening to the explanation of the two, Li Yan instantly understood.

The county lieutenant is the second-in-command and third-in-command of Luoyang, and if these two people are mixed together, they can set up the history of the assassination.

And with the support of the county lieutenant and the son, the hundred standard long knives in the hands of this group of part-time bandits have an explanation.

The county lieutenant is in charge of public security, and for the county lieutenant, getting a hundred standard long knives is not a big problem at all, and it is completely possible to use scrapping as an excuse to embezzle them.

"This Luoyang County Commander and County Lieutenant Bacheng are also involved, otherwise it will not be so easy to suppress such a scale of mountain bandits."

Li Yan has already sorted out the context of the matter.

The thing is probably that the two second ancestors gathered the displaced people, arranged a few barren fields and barren mountains for them, and forcibly turned this group of farmers into black households.

Once these farmers dare to pick on their own, they will threaten them with crimes such as illegal households and cultivating private land.

Once these charges are confirmed, they will end in exile at least.

Therefore, this group of original farmers had to become mountain bandits and become a tool for others to make money.

After thinking about this, Li Yan suddenly had a headache about dealing with these "part-time mountain bandits".

After thinking about it, Li Yan didn't have a good way to deal with it, so he could only choose to let this group of "part-time bandits" go back to the cottage first.

"Tell me the specific location of your cottage, and then return to the cottage immediately, wait for me to return to Chang'an, explain to Your Majesty, and then make other arrangements for you, I believe that with the Holy Ming who is close to Your Majesty, you will never be embarrassed."

"Of course, if you want to run, I won't stop you, and explain that you will be caught by the government of other states and counties and treated as a black household, and you will ask for more blessings."

In the face of this group of farmers who were forced to become "part-time mountain bandits", Li Yan could not kill them all as he did in the war.

People are indeed guilty of not death, and according to the current situation, as long as Cheng Yanjin truthfully reports the news to Li Shimin, Li Shimin will show his generosity and make a pardon decree, and will also arrange the household department to make overall arrangements.

And when Li Shimin's rule is so bad, he will inevitably be furious, and these anger will naturally be sprinkled on the Luoyang County Commander and the Luoyang County Lieutenant.

If Li Shimin had done things more rigorously, it is estimated that he would have ruled out some Qincha or something to go to various places to investigate and prevent similar incidents from occurring again.

"Yes."

Li Yan let go of Miao Lao Er and Zhao Sheng, and now all the "part-time mountain bandits" present are all wilted, but no one dares to run away, so they can only do things according to Li Yan's orders.

In this way, nearly 2,000 people embarked on the road back to the mountain in a depressed mood, waiting for the ruling of the imperial court in loneliness.

After dealing with the matter here, Li Yan returned the same way, rode his war horse and returned to the convoy.

"Nephew, what's the situation?"

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly asked, for fear of an accident.

"Those mountain bandits are homeless people in recent years, and they have been coerced by the two sons of the Luoyang County Commander and the County Governor......"

"Now that they have returned to the village, when we return to Chang'an, I will also bother Uncle Cheng to report to His Majesty, and leave them a way out."

Li Yan explained the situation to Cheng Yanjin, and instructed Cheng Yanjin to report to the emperor after returning to Chang'an, as for Li Yan himself, it was obviously not like seeing Li Shimin's face.

"Luoyang County Order, County Lieutenant ......"

Cheng Yanjin's eyes flashed with danger, and he was obviously extremely angry about this matter.

He never thought that someone would be able to do such a shameless situation as an official, and he would raise bandits! And also forced the homeless to become mountain bandits!

"Nephew, how are you prepared? Is it to hurry up and go to Chang'an, or to return to Luoyang? ”

Cheng Yanjin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Li Yan's opinion.

Cheng Yanjin himself must have wanted to report back to Chang'an as soon as possible, anyway, Chang'an is only more than 700 miles away from Luoyang, and it took seven days before because he traveled with a caravan and carried too much baggage.

If you hurry up and return to Chang'an to report, one day will be enough.

"Of course, I went to Luoyang to arrest people, otherwise what if I ran away."

What Li Yan said is very natural, you must know that the two "wise" in Luoyang have paid attention to their two marriage partners!

How can this be tolerated?

As for these two waste products that are on the brains of a certain worm, Li Yan must definitely go on a trip to bring the two back to Chang'an!

I don't want to leave a minute of stability to these two goods!

"This ...... Okay. ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded, he didn't take Luoyang County Commander and County Lieutenant to heart at all.

With Li Yan's force, not to mention the strength of the county government, even if the entire Luoyang garrison force is combined, it is not enough for Li Yan to fight alone.

Moreover, if Li Yan personally arrested the key criminals and brought them back to Chang'an, this would be another great achievement.

With such credit, there is no need to give it up if you have the ability.

Cheng Yanjin has unconsciously learned to think from Li Yan's point of view.

Just a Luoyang County Ya? Hundreds of government soldiers?

Li Yan beat them one by one, wouldn't it be enough to have hands!

Cheng Yanjin's thoughts have a trend of "speech", and he has not noticed it at all.

In this way, the convoy turned around and returned to Luoyang at an accelerated pace.

This place is only 100 miles away from Luoyang, and it took most of the day to come, but it only took two hours to return.

Li Yan's convoy returned to Luoyang before dark.

"Uncle Cheng, you take the convoy to Wang's house to avoid it first, and I'll go directly to get people."

After Li Yan said something to Cheng Yanjin, he set off in the direction of the county office.

In Li Yan's eyes, those government soldiers and government servants are indeed not a problem.

Besides, Li Yan is the prince of the Tang Dynasty!

When Li Yan arrived at the county office, the government officials and government soldiers didn't dare to do it at all, so they could only stand still and watch Li Yan take down the second-in-command and third-in-command of Luoyang.

When he arrived at the yamen of Luoyang County, after Li Yan revealed his identity, no one dared to stop him, and he went to report the county order as soon as possible.

At this moment, Bian Tuo, the commander of Luoyang County, didn't know about the incident in the east window, so he ran to greet Li Yan.

When Li Yan took out the relevant evidence and slapped it on the table of the county office, the county commander Bian Tuo was still in a state of confusion, and he was arrested by Li Yan without defense.

In the end, the chief secretary of the county government also sent someone with great insight to take out a rope and tie this Bian Tuo tightly.

After being tied into zongzi, Bian Tuo's thoughts went back to work.

I saw Bian Tuo shouting "The rebel misunderstands me" and then fainted to the ground.

Of course, Li Yan could perceive that this product was completely pretended, and his breathing was so rapid that it didn't look like he had fainted at all.

This is obviously a means of abandoning his son and trying to save his life.

At this point, the officials of the county government also figured out the situation, directly obeyed Li Yan's order, went to the largest green building in Luoyang, "Mingyue Tower", and captured Bian Fan, the son of Bian Tuo, and then led Li Yan to the mansion of the county lieutenant Chen Ge again, and captured Chen Ge, Chen Qu and his son in one fell swoop.

One of the two old foxes reacted surprisingly, and they both scolded "rebel" and then pretended to faint on the spot, trying to shake the pot to save their lives.

And Bian Fan and Chen Qu are much younger than these two old foxes, looking like the second ancestor who has been spoiled since childhood and has no IQ at all.

They didn't have any intention of throwing the pot or quibbling at all, but scolded Li Yan.

"Phew, why were you Li Yan named the Duke of the Kingdom? Why did you take away my first and second beauty in Luoyang? Hehe, destroy the two countries? Just you? I think you're not the illegitimate son of the emperor's second son, and your exploits are all fake! ”

"Those untouchables have betrayed us! Haha, I must have been scared by your bullshit again, I knew, I knew, haha! ”

Bian Fan and Chen Qu seemed to be crazy, and what they said didn't look like normal people at all.

If this paragraph is a plot, some people must say that this is an aura of reducing intelligence, but you must know that the world is big, and anything strange will exist.

Some behaviors that seem to be extremely mentally retarded in the perception of ordinary people are extremely normal in certain groups of people.

Especially in the second ancestors like Bian Fan and Chen Qu.

They think very highly of themselves on weekdays, but they are always hit by the children of those top gate valves.

Over time, one's own perception has been skewed.

Especially in the past two years, they have controlled the homeless people to plunder everywhere, and they have the illusion of controlling the ups and downs of the world.

Under cognitive bias and long-term mental stimulation, these two people are basically half-mentally ill, and it seems very normal to behave strangely.

It's a pity that Li Yan didn't want to listen to the nonsense of these two people, so he rewarded each of them with a knife and knocked them all unconscious.

It wasn't until the matter was all dealt with that Luoyang's number one, that is, Luoyang's assassin history, appeared in front of Li Yan for the first time.

"Thank you Qin Guogong for eliminating the harm in Luoyang!"

Luoyang Thorn Shi looked at everything in front of him, and it was like a bitter tear.

In the two years that he took office in Luoyang, it can be said that he was stumped, he was completely hollowed out on the first day of his tenure, and he could hardly intervene in the entire Luoyang affairs.

And he also vaguely guessed that the bandits who were active outside Luoyang were the handiwork of the county commander and the county lieutenant, but because there was no evidence, he had no way to report it to the court.

He even felt that once he dared to report it, he was afraid that he would "die in the line of duty" the next day

It can be said that Luoyang Thorn History has no sense of existence at all in the past two years.

"Clean up Luoyang, and I will report truthfully to Your Majesty after Lu Guogong and I return to Chang'an."

Li Yan glanced at Luoyang Thorn History, and had nothing to say to him.

This Luoyang County Order and the fact that the Luoyang County Lieutenant can be so arrogant naturally has a lot to do with the lack of ability to assassinate Shi.

This Luoyang incident, I am afraid that not only the Bian and Chen families will suffer, but it is estimated that this assassin will also be punished by Li Shimin for dereliction of duty.

"Yes, yes......"

Luoyang Thorn Shi smiled helplessly, how did he not know the situation, but he didn't have a problem, this Bian Tuo and Chen Ge usually only set him up, and they were very measured, and they never caused things to big families such as the Wang family and the Cui family.

He is a thorn who moved from other places, what can he do?

Shaking his head, Luoyang Thorn Shi was ready to be punished, with one point of anxiety, two points of sadness, three points of helplessness, and four points of determination in his heart, he ran to deal with the mess in Luoyang.

Now Li Yan only arrested the four main culprits Bian Tuo, Bian Fan, Chen Ge, and Chen Qu, and the rest of the Bian and Chen families, Li Yanke, did not move.

Whether it is connected or not, this is a matter for Li Shimin to consider, and Li Yan does not need to worry about it.

Having said that, Luoyang Thorn Shi didn't dare to be careless, in case Li Shimin decided to plant the connection, and then he didn't handle it properly and let the two families slip away, it would be a big problem.

Therefore, most of Luoyang was not safe that night.

All this chaos has nothing to do with Li Yan for the time being, Li Yan went to Wang's house, met with Cheng Yanjin, rested at Wang's house for a whole night, and left Luoyang again in the early morning of the second day.

"It is worthy of the Duke of Qin, and doing things is decisive."

"Alone, forcibly breaking into the county government, capturing the county order alive, and breaking the county governor's mansion, is this the momentum of Qin Guogong."

At the foot of the city gate, Wang Linwu and Cui Xi's father stood together and sighed.

"Let's go, let's go back to the city, they're far away, and both of us have things to do today."

"yes, it's busy."

Wang Linwu and Cui Xi's father turned around and returned to Luoyang City together, and he also had a lot of things to do today.

One of the most important is to quickly deal with his business dealings with Bian and Chen.

Because of the identities of Bian Tuo and Chen Ge, there are not a few families in Luoyang City who have business dealings with these two families, and the Wang and Cui families are no exception, and they have a lot of things to deal with today.

Facts have proved that Wang Linwu's decision is not wrong at all, after the incident last night, the Bian and Chen families directly fell into social death, although their business people are still there, and the shop is still there, but the business is completely broken.

Even the people in Luoyang City stayed away from these two shops, for fear of being implicated.

The families did not care about the losses, but just wanted to quickly draw a line with the two families, so that when the emperor was angry, the scope would be too wide, and the innocent would be injured.

"It's over, it's all over......"

Bian Tuo and Chen Ge's wives were unable to deal with family affairs, and just listened to the reports of their subordinates mechanically.

They know very well that their family is already isolated, and after the emperor makes a decision, the two families will definitely not have a good life, and as immediate relatives, they are afraid that the distribution of the frontier is a trivial matter, and they may lose their heads.

As a result, they chose to hang themselves directly in despair, and directly transitioned from social death to physiological death, ending this tragic and wonderful life and falling into eternal darkness.
