Outside the ancestral shrine of the Lu family in Fanyang.

Spring has just arrived in Youzhou, and the farmers should have been cultivating in the fields, but today many of the thousands of villagers in the vicinity have come to the ancestral house of the Lu family.

They want to criticize Fan Yang Lu today.

Xu Jingzong sat on a temporary high platform, looking at the bustling people below with a sad face, and felt a headache when he thought of the task given to him by Li Chengqian.

He knew that when he did this, the world's corporal clan shouted and beat everyone else, and maybe he would leave a stench for 10,000 years......

"Lord Shangshu!"

When Xu Jingzong heard the voice, he turned around and saw the subordinate officials behind him, and quietly pointed to the sky to remind him that the time was up.

Xu Jingzong's face was straight, and when he looked down, he saw that the ordinary people who had come to participate in the criticism had formed dozens of meeting places in the surrounding open space. There are 100 people in each venue, and in the middle of the venue there is a new drama being performed by the East Palace Enshrinement.

The content of these dramas is all about how the scholars bullied the common people, and they are all made up according to the real situation reflected by the people who reclaimed the land in Tianjin.

Although the form of the performance is simple, it is very new to the people living at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty, and the people who come are quickly attracted by these performances.

The content of the play is all about the deeds of the scholars bullying men and women.

For hundreds of years, the common people here have been bullied by the scholars, and the people's hearts have long been numb, and they usually can't raise any thoughts of resistance.

But today, the common people watched the simple performances of several men and women in the field, but they drew out all the sad things in their hearts, and wiped their tears while watching them one by one, and they had a bitter hatred for the soldiers who oppressed them.

……

Xu Jingzong looked at the performance of the common people and knew that in this matter, he could only follow Li Chengqian's arrangement and go all the way to the dark.

Xu Jingzong sighed and said helplessly: "Then start criticizing!" ”

The officials standing below immediately ran to the various venues and informed the person who presided over the meeting to start a formal criticism.

Acting is just an appetizer to tell the common people what is right and what is wrong.

Formal criticism is a group of extremely representative parties carefully selected from countless cases of oppression by the nobles, and tell people in public about the process of their bullying, that is, the process of committing crimes by the nobles.

In a venue near the high platform, a gray-haired old woman walked out with a delicate-looking girl. The girl looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a black, charred jacket and a tattered red silk skirt underneath, and she was obviously a man with a story.

Because the girl had been tortured for a mental disorder, the story of her victimization was told by the old woman.

"We were originally from the people outside the big fort in the west of the city......"

With the old woman's narration, people slowly learned about her birth and victimization, the girl's name is Liuya, and the old woman is Liuya's mother. Their family is a tenant farmer of the Fanyang Lu family, and has been a cattle and horse for the Fanyang Lu family for several generations.

Two years ago, when Liuya was twelve years old, a son of the castle fell in love with Liuya, so he rewarded their family with two taels of silver and brought Liuya into the castle.

This kind of thing is very normal at this time, and Liuya's family feels that Liuya can be favored by the son in the castle, because they burned high incense and took good luck.

That son's name was Lu He, he was thirty-seven or eighteen years old at the time, and when he took Liuya away, it was only because his wife took the child to Zhao County, and the Li family was not at home.

Two months later, Lu He's wife, Li, returned from Zhao County with a pair of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, and Li beat Liuya as soon as he saw her, and then locked Liuya in a firewood room and prepared to starve her to death.

Lu He was very afraid of guilt and didn't dare to squeak about it.

Because the Li family has always been strict against Lu He's heart, the subordinates in the family are all some hateful-looking old women, not only Lu He is not free, but even her fifteen-year-old son Lu Yuan is hungry and thirsty.

When Lu Yuan saw that the six girls looked cute, he had crooked thoughts. At night, taking advantage of the family's unpreparedness, he quietly slipped into the firewood room and did indescribable things with Liuya, and secretly let Liuya out.

Liuya fled home with her injured body, Lu He didn't know about Lu Yuan, and quietly asked someone to transfer Liuya's family to live elsewhere, so that she was not poisoned by the Li family.

Liuya's family knew that they couldn't reason with the Lu family about this, and Lu He could be regarded as thinking about the old relationship and helped them move the place. swallowed this bitter fruit, thinking that in the future, she would settle down and be quiet, and in two years, Liuya would grow up, and just find an honest person for her to marry.

I don't think it didn't take long for Lu He to come out to Liuya's house to find Liuya and do some indescribable things with Liuya.

Liuya's family didn't dare to do anything to Lu He, so they could only continue to endure it, and even thought that if Liuya could get pregnant in a few years, she could give Lu He a son and a half daughter, and Lu He would have to find a way to take care of their family.

Thinking about it like this, Liuya's family accepted the reality, and there was still some hope in their hearts.

It's just that in the end, it backfired, and it didn't take long for Lu He's son Lu Yuan to find Liuya's family and force Liuya to do something indescribable with him.

At this point, all the illusions of the Liuya family have been shattered, watching Lu He's father and son come and go in and out of Liuya's house, the heart of the Liuya family has also sunk to the bottom, and the spirit of Liuya is becoming more and more wrong.

Later, Lu Yuan intensified his efforts and brought his fox friends and dog friends to Liuya's house to do some indescribable things with Liuya.

After more than a year of such days, Liuya's mother found out that Liuya was pregnant, and if only one person came to Liuya's house to do indescribable things with Liuya, it might be a good thing for their family.

But now Liuya's family doesn't dare to expect any of the Lu father and son to admit this matter, and Liuya's family can only try their best to ask someone to say goodbye to Liuya, and want to find someone to take over as soon as possible.

Soon, they found someone who was willing to marry Liuya, this person was named Chen Si, an old man in his forties, so poor that he didn't even have the money to marry, and Liuya's family had to pay the dowry.

Chen Si does not dislike Liuya and is willing to take over, which is the best result. But who knew that Lu Yuan was very angry when he heard that Liuya was going to get married. felt that their father and son had spent a lot of money on Liuya for more than a year, and now they have become Liuya's dowry, and their father and son have lost too much.

Lu Yuan, who was angry, went home and told his mother Li about these things, and Li was furious when he heard about it, so he first taught Lu He and Lu Yuan father and son a hard lesson at home.

Then he sent someone to Liuya's house, saying that Liuya was unmarried and pregnant, lewd and shameless, and ruined their family's feng shui. not only tied Liuya's body to a stone sinking pond, but also blasted Liuya's family out of the Lu family.

Fortunately, the Lu family was also ashamed to send someone to deal with the sinking pond at night, and Liuya's mother was familiar with water since she was a child, and rescued Liuya while she was not diving on the back of the sinking pond.

In the months of wandering, five of Liuya's father, eldest brother, younger brother and two young nieces died for various reasons.

It wasn't until Li Chengqian came to Youzhou to receive refugees that Liuya's second brother fled to Youzhou with the remaining five members of their family, where their family was taken care of.

Not only do they have a bite to eat, but no one can bully them casually anymore, and there are doctors who treat Liuya and her family. Therefore, the Liuya family is very grateful to Li Chengqian, and when they heard that Li Chengqian asked the people to expose the evil deeds of the scholars, their family was the first to stand up.

The surrounding people listened to Liuyaniang's story, and their reactions were still relatively numb at first, except for a few people with bad tempers in the crowd, who gritted their teeth and scolded Lu Shi. Many more just let out a sigh, apparently not surprised by such a thing.

"All to all"

Three hurried gongs rang out, shifting the attention of the people in the venue from the mother and daughter of the six girls to the officials presiding over the venue.

Seeing that the venue was quiet, the official stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order: Lu He, Lu Yuan, father and son are all inhumane, and they will be beheaded for public display!" ”

After that, some officers and soldiers pulled up Lu He and Lu Yuan, father and son, who were tied up with five flowers, and the two soldiers raised their bright steel knives and slashed at the necks of Lu He and Lu Yuan's father and son.

I saw blood rushing out of the cavity of the father and son, and the two human heads rolled out of the long distance.

The people at the venue were stunned when they saw it, and it took a while for someone to react and say loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really dares to punish the sins of the Shi clan!" ”

"Hum—"

Immediately afterwards, the whole venue exploded, and all the ordinary people began to talk excitedly, and several people complained to the officials who presided over the meeting on the spot.

Soon, the sufferers in other venues also ended their complaints, and the officials presiding over the meeting opened the knives and beheaded the criminals.

The people beheaded today were all the children of the Lu clan who participated in the rebellion, some of them were arrested by Li Chengqian, and some were kidnapped by other members of the Lu clan and sent to Youzhou.

These people should have been punished for the crime of rebellion, and according to the past generations, those who rebelled were only punished as accomplices to the mastermind, so as not to create the false impression that everyone in the world had risen up to rebel.

However, Li Chengqian was unwilling to let them go so easily, so he made great efforts to try the crimes of these people who were mutilated and brought disaster to the township.

Now the meaning of killing them again is completely different, it has become presiding justice, not only can it win the hearts of the people now, but it will also look good in the history books.

This can be said to kill three birds with one stone, but it is too difficult to do, and if it is not done well, it will make more people rebel, and the army will be in trouble, which will not be taken by the masters of the past generations.

Li Chengqian dared to do this now, of course, because he was not afraid that the rest of the people would continue to rebel.

One of the principals of them was still waiting for Li Chengqian to summon them in Youzhou, and they couldn't get together for a while. Moreover, Li Chengqian has already settled nearly 500,000 people who have nothing in Tianjin, and the benevolent name of the crown prince has long spread throughout the prefectures of Hebei Province.

Under such circumstances, the scholars of Hebei Province were no longer able to launch another rebellion that could threaten Li Chengqian.

Outside the ancestral hall of the Lu family, Xu Jingzong looked at the enthusiasm of the people in the audience, no matter whether they had been bullied by the Lu family or not, they couldn't help but scold the people of the Lu family in Fan Yang.

The hundreds of years of the Fan Yang Lu clan's scholar clan seems to be doomed!

Xu Jingzong sighed with emotion, and saw that thousands of people in the venue rushed towards the high platform where he was. When Xu Jingzong saw it, he thought that the people were coming at him, if it weren't for the weakness of his legs and weakness, he would jump up and run away.

"The Lu clan has been unkind for generations and smashed their ancestral shrine!"

"Smash it—"

The people rushed forward while shouting, ran to the high platform where Xu Jingzong was located, and divided into two streams like a torrent, bypassing the high platform where Xu Jingzong was, and rushing into the ancestral shrine of the Lu family behind.
