Chapter 185: Long-term peace and stability

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

At noon, Chaoyang City Law Field.

Around the Dharma field, there was almost no open space, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of people, three layers inside, three layers outside, and a piece of black pressure, surrounded by water. Such a scene of thousands of empty alleys has not been seen in Chaoyang City for many years.

People gathered here for one thing, to see Zheng Da, Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong being sentenced to death.

The families of the five of them were also escorted to the execution ground, but not to be beheaded, but to be taken to the public.

The people of Chaoyang hated Zheng Da and the five people to the core, and naturally they would not treat their families well, but fortunately, there were soldiers to protect them, otherwise, they would have been stoned to death by the stones thrown by the people.

When Zheng Da, Wei Chong and other five people were escorted to the beheading platform, the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly pushed to a climax. People pointed at Zheng Da and others, all of them scolded, and the sound was higher and higher.

Zheng Da and the others didn't even dare to raise their heads, they drooped their heads one by one, and their bodies kneeling on the beheading table were almost shrunk into a ball, trembling and shaking.

Soon, four soldiers carried two large boxes. The people below couldn't see what was in the box, and one by one they nodded their toes, stretched their necks, and scrambled to look.

At this time, a young man wearing the uniform of a Han military attache walked up to the beheading platform, he first looked at Zheng Da and the others, and then walked to the center of the beheading platform, stood still, he did not speak, his eyes slowly scanned the people below.

The young man is not very old, but his aura is not small, especially wearing a Han official uniform, which brings people a faint sense of oppression.

His eyes were shining, like two obsidians, and his glance made it feel as if two electric lights were passing across his face. The noise of the crowd below became quieter and quieter, and gradually, the entire execution ground fell silent.

Hearing that there was no movement below, the young man said aloud: "In Xia Liu Xiu, he is the general of the Tiandu Division!" ”

With his words, there was a coaxing below, and the silent scene suddenly seemed to have exploded.

"He is Liu Xiu!" "Does Liu Xiu look like this?" "Is he really Liu Xiu of the Zhutian Capital Department?" “……”

The people below have everything they say, but most of them are skeptical.

In the Battle of Chaoyang, the Lingling Army led by Liu Xiu not only resisted the joint attack of Chaoyang County soldiers, Shandu County soldiers, and Hecheng Fortress Army, but also annihilated thousands of officers and soldiers.

People have long spread the word about this war, and there are many rumors about Liu Xiu, but among the rumors, most of Liu Xiu's images are eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a green face and fangs, and he looks like a ghost.

Now that they see Liu Xiu in person, people can't believe their eyes.

Liu Xiu's real image is too different from the rumored image, not only is he not scary, but he is also handsome and handsome, polite, and cold-eyed, he is a young Confucian student.

Although he didn't know what he was described in the rumors, Liu Xiu could guess a thing or two by looking at the surprised expressions on the faces of the people. He smiled in his heart, but his face didn't show it. He pointed to Zheng Da and the five people, and said: "Zheng Da, Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong are five people, who forcibly seize and loot, hoard grain, and raise grain prices for personal gain, resulting in inflated grain prices in Chaoyang, and the people are not able to make a living, and they are hungry, which is really a heinous crime

The sin is unforgivable! ”

His words can be regarded as speaking to people's hearts. The people in the audience were excited, and they raised their arms and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Liu Xiu walked to the front of the two boxes, bent down, grabbed inside, grabbed an IOU written on the silk cloth, and said in a loud voice: "I believe you all know this, right?" ”

"Yes...... It's an IOU! ”

"That's right! When I gave Zheng Da grain on credit, I made such an IOU! ”

People widened their eyes one by one, holding their breath, and stared intently at the large IOU in Liu Xiu's hand.

Liu Xiu threw the IOU in his hand back into the box, and then beckoned to the side. A soldier with a torch walked up to Liu Xiu.

The latter took the torches handed by the soldiers, looked at the people below, and then put the torches into the box, and with a snort, the silk cloth that had been poured with fire oil was drenched in the fire.

Liu Xiu did not hesitate at all, and lit all the IOUs in the two large boxes.

Looking at the two large boxes that were blazing, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Liu Xiu threw the torch aside and said loudly: "This is an IOU found from the homes of Zheng Da, Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong. ”

Wow –

In the law field, the pot suddenly exploded again. You must know that the IOUs that people set up for Zheng Da and others are like life charms, worrying all day long, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, for fear that one day someone will suddenly come to the door and force them to repay their debts.

But now, these IOUs have been burned by Liu Xiu, and I don't have to worry about living in fear in the future.

I don't know who it is, so I was the first to shout: "General Liu is rebuilt with kindness, and he is worshiped by the grass people!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the people in the audience knelt down and bowed to Liu Xiu on the stage.

Liu Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Fellow villagers, please get up quickly!" After a pause, he said: "I am here, and I can assure you that as long as the Zhutian Capital is in Chaoyang for one day, the price of grain in Chaoyang will never exceed a thousand dollars and a stone!" ”

At that time, it was not easy to control the price of grain within 1,000 yuan per stone.

Although the price of grain per stone is still very expensive for ordinary people, it is at least much stronger than 10,000 yuan per stone, and even if people do not have enough to eat, they will not starve to death.

"General Xie Liu!" "General Xie Liu!" The people's voices of thanks were endless, Liu Xiu continued: "There is no way for the thieves, the dog officials are even more troubled places, the villagers in Chaoyang have suffered, and the villagers can go to the county government to find household officials to register, and the people in Chaoyang City, every household."

They can all receive five buckets of grain and three hundred dollars. ”

People couldn't believe their ears and wondered if they had heard it wrong.

The scene of the chaos fell silent again in an instant, and people looked at each other. Some bold people boldly asked, "General Liu, is it ...... Can you go to the county yabai to get five buckets of grain and three hundred dollars? ”

Liu Xiu smiled, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Who...... Can anyone pick it up? ”

"As long as it is registered, every household can come to receive it!"

This time, everyone present heard it clearly, the scene was fried again, and everyone who had just stood up knelt on the ground again and bowed to Liu Xiu, almost shouting long live.

People never thought that they could encounter such a good thing, and they could get food for free and get money for nothing.

In fact, Liu Xiu is just generous to others. There are more than 8,000 households in Chaoyang City, and each household has five buckets of grain, which is only 40,000 stones, which seems to be a lot, but only in the secret granary of Zheng Da's family, there are almost 100,000 stones of grain, if you add Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong

The total amount of grain is 200,000 stones.

It is hard to imagine that during the great drought in the world, the five of them were able to hoard 200,000 stone of grain in the rising sun.

Liu Xiu took out 40,000 stones from these seized grains and distributed them to the hungry Chaoyang people, which was not considered to be a break in the muscles and bones, but also won the hearts of the people.

In addition, when they occupy Chaoyang, they do not want to withdraw if they want to enjoy themselves here, but they want to live here for a long time, so it becomes very important to stabilize the interior.

If the people in the city can't eat enough, how can the situation in Chaoyang City be stable?

At this time, Liu Xiu's decision was not improvised, but considered after careful consideration. Opening warehouses and releasing grain is the means that can best win the hearts of the people and stabilize the situation the fastest.

After promulgating a series of policies that benefit the people, the next step is the decapitation. Zheng Da, Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong were beheaded one after another.

At the beginning of the execution, the people below were still scolding, but gradually, there were fewer and fewer people at the scene, and by the time the last person, Shen Zhong, was subdued, there were almost no people left at the scene.

People are already rushing to the county government to get money and food. Compared with Qian Liang, watching the excitement of Zheng Da and the other five being beheaded has become less important.

After the execution, the heads of Zheng Da and others were hung on the head of the city for public display, and the bodies were rolled up in straw mats and hastily buried.

On the way back to the county office, Liu Xiu looked at Deng Yu beside him happily and asked, "Zhonghua, how am I doing?" ”

Deng Yu arched his hand and said: "In the future, the people of Chaoyang will definitely remember the kindness of the lord." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if people can remember our kindness, as long as the city is stable, we can have peace and stability for a long time in Chaoyang." ”

Even if the county army attacked one day, they had the support of tens of thousands of people in the city, and they would have a lot more confidence in resisting.

As they spoke, a soldier rode over. Ma Wu turned his head to look at the soldier, thinking that this soldier was the leader, and asked, "Chief Xue Tun, why did you run into the city without guarding the city gate?" ”

The tun chief surnamed Xue came to the front of everyone, turned over and dismounted, intervened to give a salute, and said: "Lord, general, there are a lot of homeless people outside, and they keep saying that they want to see the lord!" ”

Liu Xiu was stunned, a homeless? Ma Wu asked inexplicably, "How many of them are there?" ”

"There must be five or six hundred!"

"So much! What is the matter with the lord? ”

"This ...... They didn't say it! ”

"Lord, I'll go and see first!" As Ma Wu spoke, he was about to go to the city gate. Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Zizhang, I'll go with you!" ”

Liu Xiu took Deng Yu and Ma Wu and his party to the city gate of Nancheng.

When I arrived at the city gate, I raised my eyes and looked out, just as the head surnamed Xue said, there was a large group of homeless people standing outside the city gate, and it seemed that there were more than five hundred if there were not six hundred.

Ma Wu's face sank like water, and he reminded in a low voice: "Lord, it shouldn't be the officers and soldiers who are disguised and disguised, right?" Beware of deception! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside the city gate shouted loudly: "General Liu! Does General Liu still know the villain? Villain Tang Qun! Liu Xiu followed the voice and turned his eyes to see a thin young man standing in front of the crowd, waving to him. Liu Xiu really knew this young man named Tang Qun, when he came to Chaoyang to make a feint, he brought more than 3,000 homeless people.

And Tang Qun is one of them. Don't look at his age, his figure is also thin, but his physique is very strong, he has the strength to handle it, he is clever and can be open, he can speak well, and among the homeless, he has also become a small leader. Seeing Tang Qun, Liu Xiu was stunned at first, and then urged the horse out of the city gate, and at the same time asked puzzledly: "Didn't you go back to Deng County?" Why did you run back again? ”
