There are many powerful families in the inner countryside, and the most famous one in the city is the Peng family, which has a large manor on the edge of the township, and there is more than one.

may be because there have been more thieves in various places in recent years, and the Peng family manor is heavier and stronger than Zhu Youhua's own Wang Zhuang outside Nanyang City.

These heroes did not obey the decrees of the imperial court, but they did not do less, and after Yuan Shizhong rushed east to help in the first battle of Zhenping, there were no officers and soldiers stationed here.

The powerful people, mainly the Peng family, occupied the town, and had the intention of building the entire inner countryside into a large manor.

When Zhu Youhua brought Xiao Yuanying, Nanyang Battalion, and Yang Feng's headquarters to come over, he planned to make an example of the chickens, but found that the banner of the Ming Dynasty was still fluttering in the air, and the gate of the village had been opened.

The old and weak and the leading figures of the Peng family all tied themselves and knelt in front of the door, not daring to raise their heads, Zhu Youhua, who had planned to kill a few families, was a little speechless, they could be regarded as taking the initiative to ambush the crime?

took the initiative to apologize, and he couldn't kill anymore because of reason and reason, but Zhu Youhua understood that if you don't fight these heroes, they won't be really honest.

In fact, the reason why the Peng family dared to oppose the imperial court was because the imperial power was weak and the local garrison was scarce.

However, in the battle just now, Zhu Youhua had completely dispersed the 40,000 camps that had invaded Nanyang, and Liu Xiyao, Bai Minghe and other rogue leaders fled to death.

All the forces that the Peng family could rely on were all defeated, but the people of the Peng family did not dare to escape from this place they had run for generations.

In fact, the powerful have been doing evil for many years, and there are far more enemies outside than locally, and the rogues have dissipated like a cloud of smoke, and if they don't confess to the government as soon as possible, I am afraid that the end will be even more miserable.

Now in Nanyang, the official government of the imperial court is no longer useful, and if the Peng family and other powerful people are afraid of the local government, they will not have the courage to come out and do evil.

But now it is different, Zhu Youhua entered the inner countryside with the power of great victory, in order to establish his rule here.

The heroes see it much more clearly than ordinary people, although there are many yamen in the imperial court now, but the Nanyang Wangfu holds the knife handle, which is the one that really works.

Whether the Peng family and other powerful people are evil or not, we will know after the raid of their Zhuangzi and Fudi, but they take the initiative to subdue the law, if they still want to gain the support of the rest of the gentry class, then they can't do it without any excuse.

However, how could this little thing stump the dignified King of Nanyang?

Zhu Youhua will make a plan, smile and help up the Peng family and other powerful figures, and between the army, a celebration banquet was held in the Peng family's village.

Although there were those officers and soldiers staring around, and the powerful people were sitting on pins and needles, after all, they had already taken the initiative to admit their crimes.

As the saying goes, less punishment is not more punishment, there are so many families, what can he Zhu Youhua do, and what can he do?

The Haoqiang also thought about the reason why Zhu Youhua held a celebration banquet, it was nothing more than that they already knew that there was no way to take them, so they came to ask for a wave of silver again.

For the Haoqiang, as long as they can get through this hurdle safely, it doesn't matter how much they give, although there is not much cash, there is always something to get together.

"The prince of Nanyang has won a great victory, I can't wait to congratulate him, only with these objects, talk about his heart." The leaders of the Peng family and the rest of the big and powerful families stepped forward one after another and took out a lot of gifts and cash.

Zhu Youhua roughly counted and found that there were almost more than 4,000 taels in the box, not counting the rare antiques they offered and the women who were captured by the people.

Yes, these stupid thirteen people actually thought they had a plan to offer more than a dozen folk women to Zhu Youhua.

The dozen or so folk girls were all in good shape, but they seemed to be very frightened, huddled in a ball, stood there trembling, and some were even crying softly.

"Okay, there is a heart." Zhu Youhua smiled slightly, ordered someone to accept everything, including the dozen or so women, and then asked:

"Where did all these women come from?"

Hearing this, several leading figures glanced at each other, and the people of the Peng family came forward and said: "Uh, yes, it was those people who exchanged it for silver, and the prince also knows that in this year, the poor people can't survive..."

"Oh, it was in exchange for silver." Zhu Youhua smiled slightly, and pinched a chicken leg for himself and nibbled on it.

A group of heroes and soldiers were surrounded by officers and soldiers, so they sat and watched Zhu Youhua eat alone, and they didn't have anything to say.

It wasn't until Zhu Youhua picked up another chicken wing and ate it with a mouth full of oil, so he waited until Huang Hu came over with a booklet.

Huang Hu bent down and presented the booklet and said, "Lord Wang, I found it, it's all on the book." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youhua took the booklet with one hand, threw it on the table without care, and gnawed on the chicken wings with the other hand, and said vaguely: "Take a look, take a closer look." ”

"It's... What do you want us to see..."

"I don't know, take a look..."

"This is the official book!"

The Haoqiang picked up the booklet and opened it one by one, but they didn't find anything different, and the people of the Peng family were also confused.

While they were discussing with each other, Zhu Youhua, who had finished gnawing on the chicken wings, picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, suddenly pressed the wine glass on the table, and said coldly:

"Look, give this king a careful look at page by page!"

This sudden low shout made all the heroes tremble, and they hurriedly flipped through the pages, and before they could look through a few pages, Zhu Youhua snatched it from his hand, stood up and said loudly:

"This king wants you to see how many cases in this booklet have been done by you!"

"On this page, the third son of your Peng family robbed a woman on the street, causing the woman to die, and then occupied her land and stole her people. Neixiang County's report to the department was refuted, so it was shelved. ”

"Bring that third prince to this king!"

When the words landed, Yuan Shizhong brought a man who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old and threw him to the ground like a chicken cub, thinking that it was the third son of the Peng family, the main culprit on this page.

At this time, the third son of the Peng family no longer has his usual spirit, looking at the murderous officers and soldiers around him, kneeling on the ground and scared like a quail, he can't say a word.

"This king will settle these old accounts with you! Seeking money and killing people, resulting in the destruction of a common family, you say, are you still a person? Yes!? ”

"Pull it down, and cut it down in front of the people of this king!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two burly soldiers of the Nanyang battalion stepped forward one on the left and one on the right, set up the third son of the Peng family, and let him struggle and howl like a pig, but also took him to the street outside.

In the face of the accusations and scolding of the people, the third son of the Peng family was so frightened that his pants were yellow.

The general of the Nanyang battalion took out a goose wing knife, aimed it at the neck in front of the people, and then suddenly swung it down.

The screams stopped abruptly, and the people were rejoicing, shouting that the prince of Nanyang loved the people like a son and made decisions for the people.

Zhu Youhua walked in front of the head of the Peng family, found that he was already shaking, and asked with a smile: "Is this king's disposition unfair?" ”

"Justice, fairness..."The leader of the Peng family kept wiping his sweat, and after speaking, he quickly got up and knelt on the ground, crying:

"There is no way for the villain to teach his son, as long as the prince lets the villain go, all the family wealth will be used by the prince! Please let the prince let the villain go! ”

"Let you go?" Zhu Youhua's hand on his shoulder suddenly exerted force, flipped him behind him, and said with a sneer:

"When your Peng family did those intolerable things, did you think about letting the people go? Did they beg you to let them go? ”

The more Zhu Youhua thought about it, the more angry he became, kicked him over, and shouted: "Let you go, this king will be my Ming royal family in vain!" ”

"Today, this king has cleaned up the moths of your country for Grandpa Tai! Come on, Peng's evil is many, and heaven is intolerable! The whole family is up and down, and no one is left!! ”

"Honorable Order!"

At the sound of an order, countless officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Battalion took action, pulled out the Peng family members who were kneeling on the ground or hiding in the house one by one, and carried them to the street, where they were beheaded row by row.

For a moment, blood was left on the ground.

Looking at the gurgling river of blood flowing under their feet, the people turned from initial joy to shock, and after a long silence, they erupted into a more violent cheer.

"Good!"

"Well done!"

"Woo, the prince has avenged my daughter!!"
