Chapter 340: Cut off its roots
Ma Xiangguo is a confidant of Ko Boya, a staunch supporter of the Western Turks, and has done many things to oppress the people in the past, but he is in a high position, and there are not only Ko Boya but also Western Turks in the north, no one dares to touch him at all, but the people's grievances are extremely heavy.
In the past, no one cared about it, and it was because the people did not raise officials and did not correct it, but when someone stabbed these things to the Sui army, it was different, and the people of Gaochang still did not believe that the Sui army dealt with this matter, because the people of Shengdou felt that the Sui army was also trying to win over the people above, not them, so no one really believed that the Sui army would deal with Gaochang's dignified appearance. It's just that now the Sui army wants to be tried publicly, and under the idea that the law does not blame the public, everyone doesn't mind watching.
When Ma Xiangguo Ma Han was still sleeping with his concubine at home, he was 'invited' out by the Sui army who broke into the door, and Ma Han's family wanted to stop him, but in the face of the fierce Sui army, he immediately lost the courage to do it, and could only watch his master being taken away.
Some people were at a loss, and there were also smart people who went to inform Mahan's relatives and friends to help, but when the whole city knew about it, it also aroused the curiosity of more people, so that thousands of people in the city ran to see the excitement.
When Ma Han was escorted, Du Ruhui also came, and at this time he looked at Ma Han who was pressed to his knees with a solemn face.
"Mahan, are you guilty?"
"What am I guilty of?" Ma Han can be the minister of a country, at least he is also a county guard, he knows that no matter whether he is guilty or not, he cannot admit it.
"Do you recognize the person next to you?" Du Ruhui pointed to the side, and several people with angry eyes appeared.
"Your envoy laughed, these people are just pariahs, I am the minister of Gaochang, how can I recognize him?" Mahan glanced at the few people who had accused him and said disdainfully.
"Dog officer, it was you who insulted my wife two times ago, causing her to commit suicide in shame! Poison my high hall even more, today, I will kill you to avenge my relatives! A citizen angrily pounced on Ma Han, but was held down by the Sui army.
"Is there one?" Ma Han glanced at him and felt a little familiar, but so what, this kind of thing has been done too much, who still remembers so much, he arched his hand to Du Ruhui and said: "Is it too child's play for your envoy to arrest me just because of this person's words?" What's more, this is a state affair in Gaochang, and you can't help but manage it too strictly, right? ”
"It's not a joke at all, if I arrest you, naturally I won't just listen to one side." Du Ruhui pointed to the basket of pleadings in front of him, and said to Ma Han: "These are the incriminating evidence that we spent a few days collecting after receiving the complaint. ”
"Yes." Behind Du Ruhui, a Sui soldier stepped forward, grabbed a scroll of notebook and unfolded it, and said loudly: "Three years ago, Ma Han was the prime minister of Gaochang at the beginning, there was Song Zhong, a common man of Gaochang, and there were 100 acres of fertile land, Ma Han was greedy for his good land, and he was detained on the charge of bribery. ”
"Three years ago in the winter, there was a people's daughter, Li, beautiful, Ma Han greedy for her beauty, let people come to the door to ask for refusal, not angry to detain her for the crime of losing virtue, soon the Li family died in prison, her daughter disfigured herself, Ma Han was angry and ordered someone to humiliate her to death!"
"Three years ago, Mahan plotted to seize the wealth of the Gaochang merchant Suoshi and instructed the Turks to slaughter his people......"
"Three years ......"
"Last year...... Sui Jun read through the volumes of incriminating evidence, and from the day Mahan took office to the present, there are dozens of cases clearly recorded.
At first, the people were still whispering, but as a sealed bamboo note was unfolded, these voices gradually disappeared, and invisible anger brewed around, and Mahan suddenly became the target of public criticism.
Du Ruhui waited for the soldier to finish reading them one by one, waved his hand, ordered him to retreat, looked at Ma Han, and sneered: "There are all human and physical evidence mentioned before, I can give any evidence to Master Ma, what else do you have to say now?" ”
"I ......" Mahan's face was pale, he didn't know why in just a few days, the other party was able to grasp so much incriminating evidence, how could the other party obtain so much?
As soon as the Sui army entered the city, they brought all the files domineeringly, and classified the files, not only Ma Han, but almost all the wealthy families of the Gaochang family have the foundation, and the question of who they want to find can be pulled out from time to time.
They executed many petty officials and officials in accordance with the will of the people these days, although the Sui Dynasty gained a certain popularity, but the value of the heads of those petty officials was far from enough to harvest the hearts of the people of Gaochang, so they aimed at the high-level of Gaochang and the descendants of Ko Boya, only the heads of these people can affect the whole territory of Gaochang, in order to shake the rule of Ko Boya, so that he completely lost the hearts of the people.
As soon as the Sui army entered the city, they took away all the files in Yecheng, and a full five hundred people took three days to classify these files.
This is the usual trick of the Sui army, every time they seize a place, the first place to seize is not the treasury, but the secret place where the files are displayed, and then use these things to deal with the big families and curry favor with the people.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
The nurses in the crowd shouted loudly, followed by more and more people responding, and soon converged into a wave of sound that resounded throughout Gaochang City.
"I'm Gaochang Xiangguo, you can't kill me!" Mahan shouted loudly, he looked around, trying to find acquaintances in the crowd, but unfortunately to his disappointment, even if there were acquaintances, they were avoiding his gaze at the moment, and a wave of despair made Mahan's face pale and his teeth chattered.
Gaochang is indeed Gaochang, but now it is no longer the world of Gaochang's ruling class.
Du Ruhui thought of this and smiled coldly.
Su Dingfang also stood up at this time, as soon as he raised his hand, tens of thousands of soldiers who maintained order roared in unison at the same time, and for a while, a murderous aura accompanied by a roar soared into the sky, and the voices of the people gradually lowered.
With another wave of his hand, thousands of soldiers were silent at the same time.
Su Dingfang took a deep breath and said loudly: "The country has borders, and justice has no borders!" Behind every Sui person, there is a powerful suzerain. No matter where you are, what kind of danger and oppression you encounter, please don't give up, the Great Sui Xiongshi behind you have the responsibility and obligation to seek justice for you, 10,000 is not enough, 100,000 will come, 100,000 is less than we have a million, 2 million, or even 10 million army, and I can afford to build a Great Sui. ”
This is the first time that the concept of the supremacy of the Sui people and the supremacy of the people has gone abroad, and this is just the beginning, and it will be extended to all parts of the world in the future.
Thinking of that domineering king, Su Dingfang firmly believed in his heart.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and continued: "At the same time, on behalf of the Great Sui, I warn those who oppress my Sui people: whether you are the Xiangguo or the king, you must pay for the sins you have done, and no one is an exception. Su Huan. ”
"In!" The partial general Su Huan took a step forward and said loudly: "Gaochang Xiangguo Ma Han used his power for personal gain, disregarded people's lives, and committed many crimes against the people of my Han family. In addition, the system of our Great Sui is that half of all the property, land, and land deeds of the convicts will be confiscated, and half will be repaid to the bitter master. Those who were persecuted by Mahan or their families could go to the Great Sui military camp to receive compensation with certificates. ”
"No!" When Mahan heard this, he only felt a darkness in front of him, and spit out a mouthful of blood, not only to die, but also to his people. And once property is confiscated, how can the living people make ends meet? And though they have not destroyed their gates, but without his protection, how can the angry people spare them? He foresaw the tragic fate of his family.
It's just that who cares about his feelings at this moment, in the midst of the sound of the crowd shouting for killing, the knife and axe hand raised and fell, and a good head rolled to the ground.
With a cheer, Du Ruhui and Su Dingfang smiled slightly, in this way, it will be difficult for Gaochang officials and the people to hug together and squeeze out the Great Sui, and the first step of the Great Sui based on Gaochang can be regarded as done.
Then, Du Ruhui and others executed more than a dozen important ministers of Gaochang in public.
Dressed in the crowd, Ko Boya looked at the cheering people, and for the first time he really felt the horror of the people's grievances.
Moreover, the Sui army executed all Gaochang important ministers, and these people were all guilty, so how did the people of Gaochang view the reuse of these heinous selves?
In the crowd, there are many people with pale faces, they watched Ma Han's head fall to the ground, as if they saw their own end, no matter which country's family, few of them are really clean, they wanted to support Ma Han one or two, but looking at the jubilant people around them, they didn't dare to stand up at all, otherwise, they would definitely become the soul of the Sui army.
Du Ruhan and Su Dingfang returned to the city barracks with a group of Sui army heroes, and a military Chinese official came up with an account book, and said with joy: "General Su, Du joined the army, Ma Han and other high-ranking officials in Gaochang have looted a lot of people's fat and people's ointment over the years, and the huge amount is really appalling, even if it is only a thirty percent share, it is enough to support my 20,000 troops of the Great Sui for a year, is only a part allocated to return to the people of Gaochang?" ”
The implication of the words: Let's just mean it, such a large fortune is now Dasui's, and this is given out in vain, everyone looks distressed!
"Hey! , we must look at the long-term vision of life and work. Du Ruhui patted him on the shoulder and said: "The strategic location of Gaochang is really important, this will be the first gateway for my Great Sui to open up the Western Regions, and it is also the first step for my Great Sui to establish a majestic and honest image. At the same time, this step is also very critical, if it is not handled properly, it will seriously tarnish the image of the Great Sui, which is not tolerated by anyone from top to bottom of my Great Sui. ”
Speaking of this, Du Ruhui continued very seriously: "If you want the people of Gaochang to believe in the Great Sui, the Sui Army, and us, you must believe in your words and be fruitful in your deeds!" You have to publish all the data, and there must be no concealment, what belongs to my Da Sui cannot be less, and a penny that is not ours must not be collected! This is an iron law that cannot be violated! The matter of distribution is handled by our Great Sui Army, and the Military Intelligence Department is responsible for supervision, but there are corrupt and corrupt people, no matter how high their positions and how much merit they have made, they will not be killed! ”
"Whoa!" A chill rose from the hearts of the civilians, they knew that Du Ruhui was by no means joking, the Military Intelligence Department established in the army was dedicated to dealing with this kind of thing, and they were directly responsible to His Highness, and anyone could arrest him.
This kind of petty thinking of taking advantage cannot be had, because once people have this heart, greed will slowly devour people's pure souls and wills like the devil! As a result, the noble faith collapsed. ”
"Whoa!"
A group of civilians responded solemnly.
