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

The patriarchs present looked at each other and said, "Tao Gong's sentence is true!" Zheng Da relied on him to be a relative of Taishou, colluded with Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong to hoard grain, raise grain prices, and make Chaoyang people unhappy, so he invited General Liu

Eliminate the evil for the people! ”

Zheng Da's body was shocked, and he said urgently: "General Liu, don't listen to the words of these villains, it's true that we are grain merchants, but we are not ...... to raise grain prices."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiu shouted: "Someone! ”

With his shouting, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears walked in from outside, and people all intervened in Liu Xiu and saluted: "General! ”

"Take down all five people, Zheng Da, Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong!"

"Yes!" While speaking, the soldiers walked to Zheng Da, Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong, set them up and walked out.

Zheng Da realized that something was wrong, and he said urgently: "General Liu, the villain's hoarding of grain has tens of thousands of stones, doesn't General Liu want it?" ”

Hearing this, the two soldiers who were holding Zheng Da immediately stopped and looked back at Liu Xiu.

Tens of thousands of stone of grain, that's not a small amount! The yield per mu in the Han Dynasty was about two stones, and if the year was not good, the yield would be less than two stones. Tens of thousands of stone grains represent the annual output of 10,000 or 20,000 acres of cultivated land.

Liu Xiu blinked and asked, "Zheng Da, you said you have tens of thousands of stones of grain in stock?" ”

"Exactly!" Zheng Da Zhengse said: "Only I know these places where grain is hoarded......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "As far as I know, among Lu Yue and Jia Liang, there are also people who know where your secret granary is, right?" ”

Zheng Da was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, and subconsciously said: "Lu Yue, he ......"

"He sold you all the time ago!" Liu Xiu smiled indifferently at Zheng Da, and then waved his hand to the two soldiers who escorted Zheng Da and said, "Drag it out!" ”

Zheng Da didn't expect Lu Yue to betray himself so quickly, he was like a deflated ball, and his whole body was wilted.

Seeing Zheng Da and the others being dragged out of the hall, Liu Xiu looked at Tao Qian and the others and said, "Gentlemen, rest assured, as long as it is found out that Zheng Da, Wei Chong and others have indeed committed the crime of maliciously hoarding grain and raising grain prices, I will severely punish them!" ”

When Tao Qian and the others heard this, they were all happy and excited. These scholars were originally the most powerful class in Chaoyang, but with Zhen Fu serving as the Taishou of Nanyang, after Zheng Da followed the chicken dog to heaven, their days began to become more and more difficult day by day, especially when Zheng Da found the wealth of Tun Grain

After the sermon, their days became more and more difficult. Not only was Zheng Da's own land seized by Zheng Da through the Juntian Order, but even the grain market was monopolized by Zheng Da and his gang, and they had no other way to buy cheap grain, so they could only buy it from Zheng Da and others

How much he took advantage of.

At this time, seeing that Liu Xiu was not sympathetic to Zheng Da and others, and had a clear attitude to severely punish these people, how could people not be excited and excited? Everyone said in a gossipy voice: "General Liu, I can provide clues!" ”

"General Liu, I can also provide important clues!"

Liu Xiu nodded frequently and said with a smile: "With the help of all gentlemen, I want to find out the truth, it is as easy as a finger." ”

In fact, even if Zheng Da didn't raise the price of grain, Liu Xiu would not be able to give him a way out.

Zheng Da is Zhen Fu's relative, and Zhen Fu is the biggest enemy of the Zhutian Capital Department in Nanyang County, how can Liu Xiu tolerate Zheng Da being at ease in Chaoyang under his jurisdiction.

But even if you want to kill him, if you want Zheng Da to die, you have to make his death meaningful, and it is best that this meaning can be maximized. That's politics.

Liu Xiu is good at manipulating politics and using political means, which has always been his strength. Having said that, throughout the ages, who can achieve great things, who is not a top master of manipulating politics?

These people present, I'm afraid no one expected, that while Liu Xiu invited them to the banquet, he had already sent his soldiers to secretly surround the mansions of Zheng Da, Wei Chong and the other five.

As soon as Liu Xiu captured the five of them, the news immediately spread, and the soldiers who surrounded the mansions of Zheng Da and others began to attack.

At present, the soldiers under Liu Xiu are basically all cavalry brought from Yizhou by Ma Wu and Cho. Don't look at them as cavalry, but their strength in fighting under horses should not be underestimated.

During the attack, the soldiers formed a battle formation, with spearmen in front of them holding down their feet and constantly pushing forward, followed by crossbowmen who kept firing arrows.

Among the five people, Zheng Da's mansion is the largest, and there are also the most people inside, including house slaves, domestic servants, guardians, and doormen, all of which are added together, and there must be hundreds of people.

After the soldiers in charge of the attack broke open the gate, they swarmed in, and the guards and doormen immediately met them, but they rushed up faster and fell faster.

In the camp of the soldiers, crossbow arrows flew out like raindrops, even if they were swordsman-level masters, in front of such a dense array of arrows, they could only be shot into hedgehogs.

The guards and doormen who came out to meet were shot to the ground in rows, and occasionally a few people rushed to the camp of the soldiers under the rain of arrows, and they were greeted by a dense forest of spears.

The sound of spears piercing through the human body was incessant, and many people died in pools of blood with several spears in their bodies.

The cavalry under the command of Ma Wu and Choshi can be said to be battle-hardened and experienced, and they pick out a soldier at random, all of whom have been tempered and crawled out of the pile of dead, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

In front of the military battle array, no matter how powerful the masters of the rivers and lakes are, they are just mantis arms as cars, and they are completely vulnerable.

The soldiers who entered the Zheng Mansion killed from the front court, all the way to the atrium, and then from the atrium to the back court. When they arrived in the backyard, the number of female dependents began to increase, and even Zheng Da's sister Zheng Xiuying carried a sword in her hand and participated in the battle in person.

She commanded the guards and disciples of the Zheng Mansion, and fought and retreated, buying time for the Zheng family to escape. When the Zheng family ran out of the back door of the Zheng Mansion, they were greeted by an overwhelming array of arrows.

I saw that the street outside the backyard, and even on the roof opposite, were full of soldiers, people holding crossbow machines, and kept repeating an action, releasing arrows, loading arrows, releasing arrows, and loading arrows......

In the chaos of arrows, Zheng Da's son and daughter were both shot into hedgehogs and died tragically under the arrows.

People had no choice but to retreat to the backyard. After Zheng Xiuying asked about the situation, she didn't care about resisting the soldiers who were killing in front of her, so she took more than a dozen of the most skilled doormen to break through from the backyard.

More than a dozen of them, as soon as they came out of the back door, they were greeted by a rain of arrows from all directions. People used their strength to feed, swung their swords to block arrows, and the crunch sound of clanging was almost connected.

Human strength is limited, but the rain of arrows that fly seems to be infinite. People blocked round after round of arrows, but it was useless, and soon someone screamed, and in the middle of his calf, he involuntarily knelt on one knee.

At the moment of his pause, another arrow struck him in the chest, and he fell forward with a wail, and then he heard a series of popping sounds, and a layer of crossbow arrows was laid on his back as if grass had grown.

His fall was only the beginning, and then, one after another, the corpses were covered in crossbow arrows in the blink of an eye.

In just a few minutes, the doorman next to Zheng Xiuying was dead, and outside the back door, she was the only one left who could stand, but several arrows had been inserted in her shoulders, arms, lower abdomen, and legs.

She supported the ground with her sword, dragging a leg with two crossbow arrows, and walked forward step by step, letting out a piercing roar.

The soldiers looked at each other and put down the crossbow machine in their hands. Zheng Xiuying walked all the way forward, leaving a shocking blood mark on the ground.

She approached one of the soldiers, and with all her strength, raised the sword in her hand, and was about to slash forward, when the soldier on the opposite side suddenly raised the crossbow machine and shot a crossbow arrow without mercy, hitting her wrist with the sword.

Poof, her wrist was pierced by a crossbow arrow, and she couldn't help it anymore, and sat down on her knees with a poof. The soldier hung the crossbow machine back on his waist and, by the way, pulled out the saber under his side. He held the knife in one hand, flipped his wrist, pulled out a gorgeous knife flower, and the soldier stood beside Zheng Xiuying, and then, he raised the ring head knife high and slashed it with all his might

。

Burst!

The sword light flashed, blood spurted out, and Zheng Xiuying's head fell to the ground. The soldier rubbed the blood stains on the ring knife with the clothes in the crook of his arm, put the knife into the sheath, and then stood back in the group, looking at the back door of the Zheng Mansion with an expressionless face. They were ordered to kill all who resisted. If the Zheng family had chosen to surrender at the beginning, there would have been no fight at all this time, let alone a massacre, but unfortunately, there were not so many ifs, the Zheng family at the beginning

chose to resist to the death, and the subsequent result became a foregone conclusion.

It's okay for the Zheng family to bully ordinary people, and they can even bully and bully county soldiers, but in front of the Yizhou cavalry, their resistance is too insignificant and does not pose any threat at all.

With the death of Zheng Xiuying in battle, no one in the Zheng family took the lead in resisting, and the remaining family members, servants, and doormen all surrendered to the soldiers.

I don't know if I don't know if I don't count, and I'm shocked when I count it.

Zheng Da's wives, side rooms, and concubines are dozens of people, and there are more than 30 children alone. When his house was raided, countless gold, silver and jewelry were found, which could not be carried by manpower, and had to be pulled by a cart.

When the mansions of Zheng Da, Wei Chong and other five people were raided, only the Zheng family resisted, and the other four families had almost no resistance.

That night, Liu Xiu asked Deng Yu to interrogate Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong, and forced them to confess to the secret warehouse where they hoarded grain.

At first, the attitude of the four was still very tough, but as the soldiers escorted their families up, the psychological defense of the four collapsed in an instant, and they confessed their secret granaries without much quibbling.

The next morning, the Chung Ling army posted a notice of peace in Chaoyang City, and at the same time, also posted the punishment of Zheng Da, Wei Chong, He Wen, He Pu, and Shen Zhong.

In the notices, there were more than a dozen examples of the crimes of the five of them, and in short, the final result was that they were beheaded at noon to show the public. People don't care much about the security notice of the Chungling Army, but this notice to punish Zheng Da, Wei Chong and others made the people in the city feel like the New Year, and many people cried with joy when they saw it, and countless people rushed to tell each other.
