Chapter 1206: Hao Ren in Yizhou
The sound of hooves was heard, and a large group of guards escorted a brocade-clothed man along the street, looking at the uniforms of these guards, the pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, and the eyes of these people were full of fear.
These guards belong to the front division of the palace of King Liang, and the middle-aged man in brocade who is guarded by many guards is the former head of the underground underworld in Chang'an, and the current commander of the front division of the palace, Hao Ren.
The current Hao Ren, in Yizhou City, is definitely a terrifying character who can stop children from crying at night.
As the eagle claw of Liang Wangfu, Hao Ren killed people in Yizhou without blinking.
Zhu Youzhen killed Zhu Youzhen, and after entering Yizhou, he carried out a brutal purge of Yizhou, and the person who did it was this Hao Ren. Subsequently, Sheng Zhonghuai began to carry out land reform in Yizhou, which was actually an imitation of Li Ze's implementation of Juntian in the north. Unlike Li Ze's big family separation, the imperial court gave certain compensation to those who owned more than the limit to recover the land for state-owning, and then distributed it to the landless, Zhu Youzhen at this time did not have the financial resources, let alone the mind. Their approach is quite simple, which is confiscation. The confiscated land was then distributed to tenants and the landless, increasing food production and increasing the number of taxpayers.
Under the rule of Zhu Youzhen, it can be said that there are basically no wealthy families in Yizhou at present. Because of the wealthy family, almost all of them were killed by Zhu Youzhen.
After Zhu Youzhen's death, the wealthy families who welcomed Zhu Youzhen into Yizhou City never expected that what they welcomed into the city was a grim reaper for them.
Zhu Youzhen's approach is more radical and vicious than Li Ze, and of course, in a short period of time, it is also more effective.
The number of registered households has doubled in a very short period of time. These extra people were originally tenants or hidden households of those wealthy families, and these people were originally not required to pay taxes, but now after they have been re-edited in the register, they will not be able to run away from taxes and forced labor.
Sheng Zhonghuai is a careful person, when implementing this matter, he really took every possible link into account to the extreme, it was not the regular army that did it, but the palace division led by Hao Ren, and all the prefectures and counties in Yizhou were almost at the same time, and at the first time, those clans with strength and influence were uprooted, and the remaining small and medium-sized landlords were immediately frightened, and they almost didn't need to use knives anymore, so they honestly handed over their fields.
Of course, with such a large-scale operation, there are still a lot of fish that have slipped through the net.
So since then, Hao Ren, the direct perpetrator, has become the target of assassination by these fish who have slipped through the net. Sometimes there are several assassinations a day.
However, these unprofessional assassinations are really nothing to Hao Ren, and he can only give him more opportunities to clean up these people who escaped one by one.
Hao Ren, whose hands were stained with blood, was also increasingly reused by Zhu Youzhen. Moreover, he not only has a lot of weight in front of Zhu Youzhen, but also speaks well beside Zhu Youzhen's princess and side concubine. Because when Zhu Youzhen crossed the Qinling Mountains and fled to Hanzhong, he left all his family behind. And his two concubines and children finally escaped to Yizhou to join Zhu Youzhen after a lot of hardships under the protection of Hao Ren. As long as you think about how many casualties the army suffered when it crossed the Qinling Mountains, you can imagine how hard Hao Ren and a group of women and children had to survive.
Now Hao Ren is not only in charge of Yizhou's intelligence, but also in charge of Yizhou's prison, and he is really in power. In its hands, it not only has a complete intelligence system, but also a force of up to 3,000 people.
Hao Ren's home is a mansion of a large landowner in Yizhou, covering an area of hundreds of acres, with everything in the courtyard, terraces and pavilions, but after Hao Ren moved in, he shoveled these beautiful scenery cleanly, so that in the whole house, in addition to the buildings, there were large and large open spaces of bare land, on top of these open spaces, he built rows of bungalows, and arranged for hundreds of soldiers to live in front of the palace. Every night, countless lanterns and torches are always lit in Hao's house, illuminating the whole house transparently. It has almost become a beautiful scenery in Yizhou City.
In the mouths of Yizhou people, this is naturally because Hao Ren has killed too many people, so he is afraid, for fear that someone will assassinate him, so he arranged it like this.
Hao Ren is alone, with no women and no children. When he arrived in Yizhou, he was still alone, and even the women given to him by Zhu Youzhen were returned one by one.
It seems that this person no longer has any other hobbies than doing things.
Among the civil and military officials in Yizhou, Hao Ren is definitely an outlier and a pervert in the eyes of everyone.
But the more he is like this, the more he is valued and trusted by Zhu Youzhen, and even Sheng Zhonghuai calls him a model official.
Now, after this model returned to his home, and after entering the house that belonged to him, the whole tense nerves finally relaxed all at once.
The room had already been burning warm, and as soon as I entered, a wave of heat rushed to my face. The fine silver charcoal burned silently, the copper kettle was steaming, a cup of hot tea was already brewing on the coffee table, and the chaise longue was on the edge of the charcoal basin.
Taking off the long cloak with the cold air on his body, Hao Ren lay down on the chaise longue, stretched out his limbs, moaned comfortably, and then reached out to pick up the hot tea and take a sip.
Hot and cold just right.
Only when he returned to this room would Hao Ren really relax.
Because all the people in this house are trustworthy to him. And the person in charge of the security of this house is his henchman, Tao Blind.
"Blind!" Putting down the teacup, Hao Ren squinted his eyes and shouted.
The blind Tao came out in response.
Tao is not really blind, but his eyes are very small. Although this person is not good-looking, but his skills should not be underestimated, when this person escorted Jing Xiang out of the city, it was originally a mortal situation, but this person relied on the almost intuitive prediction of danger, and escaped from life.
"What's the matter today?"
The thing Hao Ren asked was naturally not his official business in Yizhou, but what he needed to do in another identity. And the person in charge of this matter is Tao Blind. In fact, after they arrived in Yizhou, it was very rare for someone from the internal guard to come to the door, for the internal guard, Hao Ren is a long line, and it is also a vital line, and it will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary. But every once in a while, Tao Blind would still go to the contact point.
"Yes!"
Hao Ren originally just casually asked as usual, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, and he sat up straight all of a sudden.
The blind Tao bent down, took out a bamboo tube from the stepping board on the bamboo recliner where Hao Ren was lying, twisted it casually, unscrewed his head, and poured out a thin metal tube from it and handed it to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren carefully examined the seal on the metal cylinder, and was slightly shocked in his heart, because this was the highest-level seal, which represented this information, and it was Gongsun Changming, the supreme head of the intelligence committee from Chang'an.
There are no more than three people who know Hao Ren's identity.
One is Gongsun Changming, the other is Tian Bo, and the other is Gao Xiangsheng. And Gao Xiangsheng is now in Yizhou!
Unscrewed the metal canister, the canister was invalid, and it could never be restored, and he casually threw the metal canister into the brazier, and Hao Ren opened the information. This information was unexpectedly long, densely packed with small print, and filled with a large sheet of paper.
"What's going on?" The blind Tao on the side said in shock: "Isn't it going to fight Yizhou." ”
Hao Ren didn't speak, read it slowly and carefully, threw the information into the brazier, and said, "This information is not for us to do things. ”
"What's that?" Tao asked the blind man.
"Lao Gao, I'm going back to Chang'an. He has been promoted, and he will soon become the second-in-command of the Datang Intelligence Committee. Hao Ren said.
Tao Blind said happily: "This is a good thing, with your friendship with Gao Xiangsheng, eldest brother, you will have a better time in the future." ”
Hao Ren smiled: "Even if there is hope in the future, then we have to live peacefully until then." Blind, now, I can only sleep peacefully when I go back to this house, when you are by your side, and when I am outside, I can't sleep at all, this day is difficult. ”
The blind man smiled.
"But as you said, there is hope, my son has now been promoted to the prefect. The greater the merit he makes, the more Chang'an will treat my son favorably, and since he can't reward me, of course he can only reward my son. Hao Ren said proudly.
"The little young master is already smart, maybe it's the result of his own struggle!" Tao Blind smiled Mimi and said.
"Perhaps, Lao Tzu's son is called Hao Cong, doesn't it mean that he is so smart!" Hao Ren laughed, got up from the chaise longue, stretched, walked to the table, picked up the cloak, put it on, and walked out.
"Do you want to go out at this time?"
"This news, of course, must be known to Gao Xiangsheng as soon as possible!" Hao Ren said: "The next step is to arrange for him to go out of Yizhou." Prepare well here, and tomorrow, let's go. ”
"Okay. The channel is always ready to go, all you need to do is notify you to activate it! Tao said blindly.
Out of his own house, Hao Ren put on his clothes again, and left majestically, but this time, the place where he went was the prison of Yizhou.
As the commander of the front division of the palace, Yizhou Prison is also Hao Ren's territory. If the command of the palace commander is the beginning of Hao Ren's evil in Yizhou, then the prison is the place where it ends.
Through the guards, you enter the eerie prison. When the prison that had been quiet heard the footsteps, it suddenly became lively again, and the sound of shouting injustice was endless.
Hao Ren stepped into the long corridor with a calm face, and the burning torch shone on his face, and where he passed, the person who was shouting injustice immediately shut his mouth and shrank into the corner. Each one doesn't seem to want to be seen by the person.
