Chapter 424: Arresting People and Raiding Homes

Li Chengqian couldn't believe that the victory in front of him had come so easily.

Xue Rengui actually captured Dou Lu Yan and everyone he brought with him without blood.

"What a good fight! More than a thousand people were captured without a single bow or arrow! Li Chengqian couldn't help but exclaim.

Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed and said, "It's really Dou Lu Yan and Zheng Hao who are too straw bales." ”

The grizzled Dou Lu Yan and Zheng Hao were tied up by Wuhua at this time, gagged with rags, and threw them on the side of the road at will.

Li Chengqian glanced at them and said lightly: "With such a good look, you dare to be a slaughterer for an official?"

Resentful of the lonely king who dismissed them from their official positions, gathered treacherous evils, rebelled against the court, caused chaos in the world, led the rabble to attack the lonely king, and did not punish the clan is not enough to correct the law of the country, and the people are angry. ”

Dou Lu Yan was resourceful and resourceful, and was said by Li Chengqian to be "such a good color", and his face was angry and turned into pig liver.

Although Zheng Hao is not as smart as Dou Lu Yan and is very proud, the Xingyang Zheng family is stronger than the Changli Dou Lu family, and the family is stricter in educating their children to protect the family.

At this time, he heard that the Zhu clan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was busy twisting his body on the ground, whining and begging to speak.

Li Chengqian didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked forward, Zheng Hao saw that Li Chengqian was disdainful of him, and anxious tears came out. If he wants to exchange his life with what he knows, he has to take one step ahead, if someone else tells Li Chengqian first, what else will he exchange for his life?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this time the matter between Yichuan and Song County does not seem to be simple, it is better to listen to what Zheng Hao wants to say." Li Yifu said in a low voice.

Li Chengqian nodded and ordered: "Then you go and ask him, and if you can ask for useful information, spare him the Zheng clan in Xingyang." ”

After Li Chengqian saw the surrendered house slaves, he immediately ordered Huang Feibee to send people to take care of these people.

Li Chengqian dealt with the captives here and was about to go to Yichuan County, when the guards of the East Palace who stayed in Song County came over and reported to him that Cai Wenying of Song County had rebelled against Emperor Wenjia.

Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this: "Let's ignore Song County for now, and deal with the gentry of Yichuan County." ”

He was a little worried about Zhou Jin going to Luoyang to see Li Shimin, and sent someone to Luoyang to send a letter to Liu Zheng and them cooperate.

Then Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui took the East Palace guards and Huang Feibee's subordinates Qingzhuang and rushed straight to Yichuan County.

In the afternoon, Li Chengqian and his entourage came to Yichuan County.

Cui Qiang, the commander of Yichuan County, heard that Li Chengqian played the banner of the crown prince, and personally led the cavalry to the outside of the county seat, not daring to wait slowly, while sending people to Luoyang to deliver a letter, and on the other hand, he asked Xue Dading to lead all the gentry in the city out of the city to greet him.

After Li Chengqian played the banner of the crown prince, these people who gritted their teeth and cursed him in the shadows did not dare to do anything on the surface, and dared to offend Dou Lu Yan and Zheng Hao are examples.

Li Chengqian rode on a tall war horse, leading behind him the majestic 300 iron horsemen to move forward slowly like a mountain. Every step they took made the sound of rumbling subway hooves, and the sound of iron hooves hit the hearts of Cui Qiang and the others like a giant hammer.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xue Dading led everyone to salute deeply.

Li Chengqian looked indifferent on his horse, and at this time, looking at the one hundred and ten officials and gentry from his point of view, he could not see their heads and faces, but could only see their broad backs and pouting old and tall fat buttocks.

"Take it!"

Li Chengqian shouted.

Huang Feibee immediately ran out from behind with people and arrested all the officials, gentry and county officials except Xue Dading.

Cui Qiang, who was grabbed by the hands of the two hungry people, was furious, raised his head and glared at Li Chengqian angrily, and asked loudly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what does this mean?"

"That is, what kind of crime did I commit, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered to be arrested when they met?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be benevolent to the people, how can he wave the army and the people?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lose the hearts of the people in the world if he acts like this!"

"Perverse behavior, doom is not far away."

……

……

A group of gentry officials shouted one after another by relying on the strength of the crowd, Li Chengqian looked at them and sneered, and said in his heart: At this time, you put yourself in the ranks of the common people, when will you treat yourself as ordinary people when it is beneficial?

"Shut up!" Li Yifu rode forward a few steps and shouted loudly.

At this time, Li Chengqian naturally would not say anything to these people, and Li Yifu could only come forward.

Although the gentry shouted fiercely, they were not fools, and they also wanted to know why Li Chengqian arrested them, and only after knowing the reason could they save themselves.

When they saw Li Yifu coming out, they closed their mouths and waited for Li Yifu to speak.

"You colluded with the Sanming Immortal Sect, plotted to rebel, and sent a slave to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince. Dou Lu Yan and Zheng Hao have already confessed, do you still want to deny it?" After Li Yifu announced the crime, Huang Feibee immediately led people to drag all these gentry to the camp set up outside the city and imprisoned them.

More than 100 gentry who had been in Yichuan on weekdays were arrested at the same time and escorted to the outside of the city, shocking the people watching from afar, and soon the entire Yichuan county felt the power of the crown prince.

Even so, these gentry were not afraid, one was their established policy to harm Li Chengqian, and they still had hope for Dai Zhide and others, and besides, according to the past practice of so many of them, no official dared to kill such a gentry at once.

But before they had gone far, they heard Li Chengqian say to Xue Dading: "Xue Qing's family, you immediately take your entourage scribe and Huang Feibee to copy all these people's homes.

Except for those used to dredge the Yi River and build reservoirs, the rest of the gentry's land was distributed to the local people, with priority given to these homeless and hungry people, and then to the landless peasants. The family members and slaves were all gathered in one place, and Li Yifu was sentenced according to the law after interrogation. ”

Xue Dading didn't know what was going on, and said with a puzzled face: "Is it too much for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do this?"

Li Chengqian's expression was cold when he heard this: "Xue Qing's family, you are a person who does practical things, and King Gu will give you the opportunity to let you do some practical things for the Tang Dynasty and the people."

and thou shalt do as the king does, and it will not harm thee. ”

To be honest, Li Chengqian's performance in Luozhou made Li Chengqian very dissatisfied, but also considering that Xue Dading was a practical official, it was a little difficult for him to engage in political struggle.

With Li Chengqian's order, the Yellow Flying Bee and his hungry people immediately flew like a swarm of bees that had lost their nests and rushed to the mansions and manors of the major Shi clans in Yichuan County.

Then, like locusts crossing the border, the mansions and manors of the great nobles were immediately dilapidated.

Li Chengqian said that, and directly entered Yichuan County under the escort of three hundred iron horsemen.

Because the gentry in the county made the same mistake as the king of Dao, they sent out all the people who could fight under them, and the raid went smoothly.

The hungry people under the Yellow Flying Bee are like lost nests,

By evening, all the gentry who lived within five miles of the county seat had their homes raided.

In order to prevent the family members of the gentry who lived far away from escaping with their money, Li Chengqian ordered Huang Feibee to divide his troops into several routes, led by the guards of the East Palace, and went to raid the house overnight.

Raiding the house has always been fat, although Xue Dading led people to supervise with all his might, there were still some hungry people who were full of private naan.

Moreover, the hungry people were also extremely dissatisfied with the luxurious life of these nobles, and wanted to destroy the good things they saw.

These things made the officers and soldiers very angry, you must know that the government soldiers in the early years of the Tang Dynasty were all from medium-sized families, and they could not empathize with the hungry people.

Now the only ministers around Li Chengqian are Li Yifu and Xue Dading, Li Yifu is interrogating the gentry of Yichuan County, Xue Dading has already found that he has caused trouble for Li Chengqian and does not dare to persuade him.

But there was one person who couldn't help it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Pei Xingjian came to the study and bowed deeply.

Li Chengqian was reading the dossier sent by Li Yifu, although these gentry didn't know much, but Dai Zhide was already involved.

"Flat!" Li Chengqian didn't raise his head.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that he should mobilize officers and soldiers by raiding his family." Pei Xingjian said directly.

Li Chengqian put down the file, raised his head and looked at Pei Xingjian and asked, "These people don't know how to raid their homes?" Didn't you copy out all the property of Li Bancheng and their family?"

Pei Xingjian almost vomited blood when he heard this.
