Chapter 30: Public Trial Conference

(Ask for a red ticket!) Help jack it up! )

At the end of the seventh year of Chongzhen, for many people in Shanxi, this winter is very sad, and it is about to be the New Year, but their family's grain storage is basically about to run out, most people in order to make the grain stock persist for a longer period of time, they have to mix bran in the heterozygous noodles or even peel off the elm bark, grind it into flour and make cakes to survive hard, and some even have to drag their families to run away from home and embark on the road of begging.

But all this is a different scene for the people in the southern part of Yangcheng County, and the faces of the people here are filled with a kind of joy, as if it is the New Year in advance, because soon after the newly arrived pole occupies their area, a good news was released in the local area that the local people could not even imagine, that is, this Xingtian army suddenly announced that it would redistribute the farmland in the area under their jurisdiction and distribute it to the local landless farmers for their future cultivation. The head of each laborer, whether male or female, can be calculated, and each laborer can obtain five to ten acres of farmland according to the thickness of the farmland.

As soon as the news was announced, it caused an earthquake in the southern area of Yangcheng County, which immediately stunned everyone in the local area, these people almost couldn't believe that this was true, many of them did not have their land before, and now suddenly, the pole that ran to them from the outside was actually very kind, and wanted to divide the land for them, which made many people not believe it, so some people tried to go to the Xingtian Army in Dongye Town and Lianhua Mountain to inquire about the news.

As a result, after they found the people of the Xingtian Army, they really received the land allocated to them from the Xingtian Army, and the Xingtian Army specially sent some people to the lands of various townships and villages, measured the land, registered the local population, drew these abandoned lands into blocks, and distributed them to the villagers who went to receive the land.

At this time, the local villagers can believe that this matter is true, although the Xingtianjun is just a pole in their eyes, and the title deed issued is not effective at all for the government's title deed, but at this time, who cares whether the title deed issued by the Xingtianjun is recognized by the government!

For these people who are extremely eager for land, the government has been out of control of the local area for several years, and in essence, the civil affairs in this area are basically decided by the pole that occupies the area.

This Xingtian army first arrived here, in a short period of time, it killed the perennial entrenched Zhao Datong and Xiao butchers, through this period of observation, the local people have seen that this pole is indeed not like the previous Zhao Datong and Xiao butchers, they put up a list of people, claiming that they will freeze to death without demolishing the house, starving to death without captivity, after these days, the local people can really see that they have done what they say this pole.

Since the Xingtianjun killed Zhao Datong and Xiao Changshan, they took over Zhao Datong and Xiao Changshan's territory, and the whole army moved into these two villages, although Zhao Datong's village has been set on fire by Feng Tiancheng and burned down a lot of houses, but after the Xingtianjun occupied here, they immediately began to rebuild on the spot, cut down a lot of wood, and built rows of simple but practical camps in Zhao Datong's cottage, and lived in them, finally ending their life of sleeping in the open for months. There was no attempt to harass the surrounding villages.

At the same time, the generals of the Xingtian Army also showed a strong sense of discipline, and did not loot nearby at all, although sometimes they would go to some nearby villages to do things and find some tools, but the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army were very disciplined, and rarely used force on the people, either borrowing IOUs, or buying them with silver, and the price given was also very fair, so that the surrounding people realized that the Xingtian Army that controlled this area was indeed a good pole, so they also dispelled their suspicions about the Xingtian Army. began to take the initiative to deal with the Xingtian Army.

In particular, after Xingtianjun announced these measures, it was announced that it would conduct a public trial at the foot of Lotus Mountain against the subordinates of Zhao Datong and Xiao Butcher, who had caused trouble to the local people for many years, and summoned the local people to Lianhua Mountain to participate in this public trial of them, so as to avenge the common people who had suffered from the scourge of these two bandits.

After hearing the news, countless local people rushed to the foot of Lotus Mountain after hearing the news, some people hated this group of thieves who had plagued them for many years, and wanted to look at the minions under Zhao Xiao who had been rampant in the local area in the past few years, and they were embarrassed one by one, so as to get out of this evil breath in their chests.

There are also more people, because their families are coerced by Zhao Datong and Xiao Butcher, they have to follow them as minions and cause chaos in the local area, this matter is also related to the life and death of their relatives, and they have to run to see what will happen to their families.

And when they arrived at the foot of Lotus Mountain, hundreds of Zhao Datong and Xiao Butcher's captured subordinates had already been escorted to the bottom of the mountain by the Xingtian Army in advance and tied to the wooden stakes erected at the foot of the mountain.

The soldiers of the Xingtian Army scattered around a huge clearing at the foot of the mountain, forming a tight cordon and putting this place under martial law.

As more and more people slowly walked into this site in fright, the local people who were harmed saw at a glance the guys who were tied up at the foot of the mountain, and when they saw that they had ended up like this, they could no longer hold back the anger in their hearts, and immediately became excited, and began to crowd to the front, pointing at the thieves who were in serious trouble and scolded. Small stones were thrown towards the leaders of the thieves who were tied in front of the wooden pillars, in the face of such a situation, Xiao Tianjian hurriedly ordered these angry people to be temporarily isolated from these captives, and before the provincial public trial meeting was held, these guys were beaten to death by the people, so under the persuasion of the Xingtian Army, the common people who came to identify the culprits stopped their attacks on them, and were cut off to the open space by the cordon set up by the Xingtian Army, even so, On the spot, several bandit leaders who had caused a lot of trouble were stoned to death on the spot.

Then Xiao Tianjian sent his subordinates to the common people, so that they could identify the most troubled bandit leaders among these captives, after a lot of work, after some identification by the common people, the Xingtianjun pulled out more than 40 evil leaders from the more than 1,000 captives, and knelt down in front of the thousands of ordinary people who came to watch the identification, so frightened that these guys begged the Xingtianjun to spare their lives one by one, and some of them were even so frightened that they pulled their pants on the spot, which was simply smelly, It's long gone that way of the beginning.

Xiao Tianjian slowly climbed the high platform, holding a list of Fu Deming and Luo Yingjie and others just listed, and glanced at the black crowd under his feet, when the people in the crowd saw the tall and iron-clad Xiao Tianjian on the high platform, they gradually quieted down, Xiao Tianjian cleared his throat, so he picked up the list, and loudly began to announce the crimes of the more than forty culprits in public, as he read the name of each person, The knife and axe hand in the audience immediately dragged the bandit leaders to the open space in front of the stage, and knelt them under the stage again, and after Xiao Tianjian finished reading out all the lists, he coldly glanced at the bandit leaders kneeling in the open space under his feet, and then ignored the guys who were so frightened that they cried and cried for mercy, raised their hands high, waved them hard, and shouted: "Cut!" ”

With his order, the knife and axe hand immediately stepped forward, raised dozens of snow-bright steel knives with a brush, and shouted loudly one after another, and then swung the knife together and struggled to chop down, only to see a piece of blood splashed, dozens of good heads, rolled down into the dust on the spot, and the blood in the cavity of a headless corpse splattered out like a fountain, and the hot blood was still steaming, splashing on the ground, and the bloody scene suddenly frightened the ordinary people who came to watch the execution one by one to shut their mouths.

Where have ordinary people seen such a bloody scene! Don't look at the fact that they were still angry just now, angrily scolding these bandits who had scourged them, but when they saw that Xingtianjun cut off the heads of these people without blinking, everyone was frightened by this bloody scene.

The entire black crowd at the foot of Lotus Mountain held their breath, and no one spoke, although they had not seen killing, but like this, the scene of cutting off the heads of dozens of people at the same time, they were all seeing it for the first time, until this time, they realized that these murderers in front of them were actually a group of strong men, and the knives in their hands not only determined the life and death of these people, but also their life and death, so everyone began to come back, Don't dare to yell anymore.

The people didn't speak, and Xiao Tianjian also stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back and silently watched the local people under his feet, and he also didn't speak.

I don't know how long it took, an old man staggered out of the crowd, knelt down in front of the high platform where Xiao Tianjian was standing, and kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian on the stage and shouted: "Thank you General for helping me avenge my hatred!" ”

No one knows what kind of hatred this old man has with these killed bandits, but many people here have an unspeakable hatred for these bandit leaders who have been in trouble for many years, and when they saw someone raise their heads and kneel down to thank this tall and burly general standing on the high platform, more people began to kneel down one after another, kowtowing to Xiao Tianjian and thanking him.

In the blink of an eye, almost all the people who came here knelt on the ground with cheering, and the sound of gratitude and thanks rang out.

Xiao Tianjian raised his hands and clasped his fists to salute these people, and then raised his hands flat, and the noise gradually quieted down for a while.

Xiao Tianjian took a large copper horn from the guards, put it to his mouth, and shouted loudly to the thousands of people in the audience: "The fathers and villagers of Yangcheng are invited!" You may not know me, but today I can tell the big guy, and I also have the surname Xiao in the next! Daimyo Xiao Tianjian! People give the nickname Xiao Xingtian! And the soldiers under my command will have a name, that is, the Xingtian Army!

We are all ordinary people who have been forced to live by this world, just like you! In order to survive, I had to rise up and pull up a team to create this damn court and damn the government!

The reason why we have come all the way here is not to harm the poor people of our Yangcheng realm! The reason why I, Xiao, am here today, is to tell the big guy that from now on, my Xingtian Army will stay here to lay a place where we poor people can live in peace! Let everyone have a field to grow and everyone to eat!

And these culprits killed today are just the first thing our Heavenly Army has done! There's a lot more to come!

Today, we will only punish the first evil, for the rest of these bandits, the crime will not be killed, and our Xingtian Army will not kill indiscriminately, and will give them a chance to reform themselves, and send mining points to see the after-effects, and dispose of them separately! For those who have been held hostage, they are now invited to come forward and claim them, and each of them will take them home, and they will also be given a share of the land for them to cultivate!

I, Xiao, also know that for such a long time, my fathers and fellow villagers have suffered a lot, and life is very difficult, so today I announce once again that anyone who is willing to stay, the Xingtian Army can give them land, so that the big guy can have land to plant and food to eat from now on! There will never be such a precarious life again!

I said this, maybe the big guy is still a little uneasy, thinking that my Xingtianjun has no weight in speaking, even if the field is divided, there may be a day when we pull out our legs and leave and don't count, this big guy can rest assured, I, Xiao, is not just talking, since we are here this time, then we will not go again, we will never easily abandon everyone again, the big guy can rest assured to use your own field! ”

As soon as Xiao Tianjian's words fell, the people below suddenly made another buzzing sound, and many people turned their heads to each other, and the sound suppressed all the sounds around them.
