Chapter 14 Gathering People's Hearts
For those who resisted, the Guards battalion was unrelenting and decisively sent them on the road. After all, if it weren't for the fact that he had done too many bad things and offended too many people, how many soldiers would be loyal and commendable and would have died for a commander like Zhou Hong's uncle and nephew?
On the other side, the same scene played out at a sentry camp on the way to Hanfu.
In the governor Yuan Yang's mansion, Zhou Hong and others were there. Governor Wang Zhengli walked around uneasily, and Zeng Fan, the fat political envoy, was wiping his sweat again, but the cool breeze in the middle of the night could only wipe cold sweat.
"I said, Governor Wang, can you stop for a while, and I'm dizzy!" Zhou Hong complained dissatisfiedly.
"Alas!" Wang Zhengli stopped, "I always feel that we are too eager to do it this time, I'm afraid something will happen, why don't we avoid it first?" Why didn't you leave a way out in the first place? ”
"What could happen? There is a big event, and Han Duan and his son went directly to see the king of Hades, which is exactly what I want! Zhou Hong slowly picked up the teacup in his hand, and just wanted to take a sip, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, which scared his hands and spilled all the tea on his body, so embarrassed.
"What people!" Everyone Huo Ran stood up, and their hearts couldn't help beating faster.
"Adults, it's me, Yuan Duo." A handsome young man walked into the room and looked at Yuan Yang and the others with a smile.
"Yuan Duo, what are you doing here? Didn't I say that no one was allowed to come in without my orders? Yuan Yang frowned, this Yuan Duo is his second son, ostensibly ......
"Hahaha!" Yuan Duo's handsome face distorted from laughter, "Your order? Yuan Yang, do you think you can still order me? ”
"Lord Yuan, it seems that you have no way to govern your family." Zeng Fan scoffed.
Idiot! Yuan Yang scolded secretly, can't this pig's head tell the situation? Yuan Yang didn't have time to compete with Zeng Fan, so he immediately put on a shelf: "Yuan Duo, what do you want to do as a rebel!" ”
Yuan Duo pulled out the knife in his hand, and the cold light shone on Yuan Yang's face, making the latter tremble.
"Yuan Yang, don't pretend, I knew everything a few years ago, you hurt my whole family, raise me to be a cow and a horse for you. I didn't understand why you were so partial to my big brother before, oh no, he's not my big brother either. If you had been good to me for more than 20 years, maybe I wouldn't have betrayed you, but unfortunately you and your good son would only call me, beat and scold me, and..."Yuan Duo rushed over with red eyes and grabbed Yuan Yang's neck, "You brute tied up Youyou, wanted to rape her, and forced her to commit suicide, I wanted to break your body into thousands of pieces, if you hadn't been guarding me, I would have sacrificed my life to die with you!" ”
Yuan Duo saw that Yuan Yang's face began to turn purple, so he immediately calmed down and let go of the latter. Yuan Yang collapsed directly to the ground, gasping for air.
"Yuan... Little brother, don't involve us in the grievances between you and Yuan Yang, right? Wang Zhengli looked at the sharp blade at this time, and wanted to clear up the relationship with Yuan Yang.
"You must be very strange, why can I come here directly with a knife, now as long as I want to, I can cut off your head with a knife," Yuan Duo ignored Wang Zhengli, and gestured with the knife a few times, which immediately frightened Yuan Yang and trembled, "You only let me be a little guard, although I don't have much power, but it just let me know some friends who are very angry with you, as for those people you rely on, it costs a little money, and there is not much that you can't do." If you can't do it, then send them to hell. ”
Yuan Duo stared at Yuan Yang: "That's right, this is all arranged by Commander Han, none of you can run today!" ”
Yuan Yang and the others heard a rustling sound in their ears, and soon, only a miserable scream was heard: "My lord, it's not good... Ahhh The eyes of several people lost their looks: it was all over.
The disturbance outside quickly subsided, King Guiduan was in front, and Han Lin and Han Duan appeared here in the back.
"You are plotting against the prince and intending to harm the prince, what else can you say?" Han Lin stepped forward and asked.
"If you become a king or lose a coward, if you want to kill, you have to listen to your respect!" Zhou Hong raised his head and sighed, "Han Duan, you gave birth to a good son." ”
"Lord Wang, please order the punishment of these criminal officials."
"This king can be safe and sound this time, it all depends on Commander Han, and they will be handed over to you." Zhu Changying said mechanically.
"Yes." Han Lin turned to Yuan Yang and the others, "Come on, escort them away!" ”
Han Lin asked his subordinates to take over the various government offices, maintain the operation of the organs, and sent people to put Yuan Yang and others in prison cages and transport them to the vegetable market to prepare for public display, and posted notices everywhere overnight, listing the crimes of several people in detail.
The next day, Lao Wang, who lives near the vegetable market, met with his neighbor Lao Zhang, and immediately opened the conversation: "Lao Zhang, did you hear anything yesterday?" ”
"Why not!" Lao Zhang whispered nervously, "Originally, I was asleep, and suddenly there was a noisy sound, and then bang, so loud, I was so scared that I shrunk into the quilt and didn't dare to come out. ”
"Who isn't!"
The two saw a group of people gathered not far away, stepped forward curiously, and saw a piece of paper pasted on the wall, and they were illiterate, so they asked the people around them, "Brother, what is written on this?" ”
This person glanced at Lao Zhang, maybe he was in a good mood, and read patiently: "Governor Yuan Yang, Governor Wang Zhengli, General Soldier Zhou Hong, Left and Right Political Envoy Zeng Fan, Tang Yimu, and Inspector Wei Wuyi and other cadres, over the years, the common people, all evil, I, Han Lin, know that everyone is deeply affected, so I led the self-improvement army to punish the traitor and eliminate the evil, and give everyone justice." The following is a list of crimes, and I will not waste my words on them. ”
"The sky has eyes, Yuan Yang, a bastard, sent someone to rob my field at the beginning, and beat me so much that I couldn't get out of bed for a few months, and I almost confessed, and finally suffered retribution!" As he spoke, Lao Wang's eyes moistened.
"Wei Wuyi, the one who killed a thousand knives, snatched my daughter away, and there is no more news, I heard..."
"The two," the man next to him understood the two very well, "Yuan Yang and Wei Wuyi, as well as the other people on the notice, are all locked up in a cage over there, and they will be locked up for three days, you can go and vent." By the way, at the bottom of the notice it is also written that those who have been persecuted can go to the Seongbuk Korean government to receive compensation. ”
"Compensation?" Lao Zhang was a little unsure, "There is such a good thing?" ”
"It's not wrong," Lao Wang said affirmatively, "don't believe it, when I was lying on the bed and couldn't get off the ground, Lord Han Lin actually came to see me in person, cared about my injury, gave me a lot of silver taels, and re-allocated a piece of land to me." Lord Han Lin is really a good person, a good official who thinks about us! ”
The two turned a corner, and then saw that the people in front of them were full of anger, and almost all the vegetables in the vegetable market, whether good or bad, were smashed on Yuan Yang and others by the people who hated these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and even the soldiers who were guarding around the cage were affected and complained of bitterness.
"That's too many." Lao Wang couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"These officials are really not things... Lao Wang, should we go to Hanfu first? Lao Zhang suggested.
"Okay."
Outside the Han Mansion, a long table was placed in front, Han Lin sat in the middle, Wang Fuzhi on the left, and Zhao Yu's second brother Zhao Sheng, the person in charge of the Zhao family in Guangdong, on the right. There were several ledgers on the long table, recording the illegal facts of Yuan Yang and others that Han Lin had collected over the years, who was involved, who suffered losses, what the losses were, and how many benefits were lost, down to a few coins and silver. There are also many title deeds, land deeds, and so on. The back is filled with several large boxes of silver taels, and the alluring luster is dazzling.
Surrounded by the guards who had just fought last night, their meticulous and serious expressions and a wisp of murderous aura inadvertently revealed made the people who rushed to receive compensation or watch the excitement be cautious, if it weren't for the soft faces of Han Lin and the others, I'm afraid everyone would be silent and dare not step forward.
Han Lin handed over a dozen taels of silver and a yellowed title deed to an old man in front of him, who was in tears, and actually knelt down directly, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Lord Han, you are really a living Buddha, my poor son and daughter-in-law accidentally provoked that group of beasts for these things, and were beaten to death, and there was no life in front of my eyes, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, I really wanted to go with him at that time, but my little grandson has just come to the world, and no one can take care of it..."
"The old man hurry up, this is what I should do," Han Lin wanted to help the old man up, but it was inconvenient, so he immediately ordered a guard next to him: "Why are you still stunned, quickly help the old man up!" ”
"Yes!"
The old man got up slowly, and Han Lin immediately took ten taels of silver from behind and handed it to him along with the previous things. The old man didn't want to take more, but he couldn't refuse, stretched out his hand and took it tremblingly, and thanked him again and again before leaving.
"Next."
In front of me was a suffocating man, about thirty years old, covered in dirt, who had not taken a shower for I don't know how long.
Han Lin squinted at him: "Name, how long ago was he persecuted. ”
"Lord Han, villain Zhang Qian, six months ago, oh no..." this man's eyes rolled, "Eight months ago, he was robbed of twenty taels of silver by the soldiers around Zhou Hong. ”
Han Lin looked at him with a nervous look on his face, and sneered in his heart, but he still flipped through the account book, and then said, "I didn't find your information on it, could you be mistaken?" ”
"Mistaken," the man burst into his heart, and instead shouted loudly, "How is it possible, you don't want to give, do you?" Since you don't want to give, don't let us come..."
"Enough!" Han Lin slapped the table vigorously, "Zhang Ergou, don't think that I don't know who you are, you are angry with your father, you have lost all your family property, you have been abducted and deceived all over again, and now you have deceived me, you are not small!" ”
"You... You... Don't slander me, I'm but..."
This person still wanted to quibble, but Han Lin didn't make a move, and someone at the back of the team spoke: "Zhang Ergou, I know you, and you still owe me a lot of money, Lord Han is kind enough to help us, you little bastard still dare to make trouble!" ”
"That's it, Lord Han has already distributed so much, and you are still missing, get out!"
"Get out of here!"
