Chapter 92: The Wicked Have Their Own Wicked Grinding
"Brother Yun, what should I do?" Qi Chendong himself is also a gentleman, and he is not good at these bends in officialdom.
"What do you four think about this?" Yunmo turned his head and looked at the other four people on the table.
There were a total of six people at the banquet, Yunmo sat in the chief, next to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Qi Chendong, and the remaining four people were Anhua County Cheng Luo Qiuping, Fengxian County Cheng Wu Jingmao, Luoyang County Cheng Xiahou Xuemeng, this person is a middle-aged beauty, it is rare for a woman to be an official, and the last one is Situ Nantian, Tianshui County Cheng, each of whom is a master of the acquired realm.
Beizhou is one of the nine states of the Dayun Dynasty, and there are four counties under its jurisdiction, each of which is vast, and each county has a very large power, controlling the life and death of millions of people.
Now, Yunmo is asking these people.
"Back to my lord, the lower officials think that we should plan it slowly, and we should not be in a hurry." Luo Qiuping replied.
"Oh? How? Are the soldiers in front of you starving to death in Tuzhi? Yunmo said playfully.
"Lord Luo didn't mean that, he just felt that there was no particularly good way to do it now, so he couldn't just grab it." Tianshui County Cheng Situ Nantian arched his hand.
"Don't worry, I'll let these people contribute voluntarily."
Yunmo picked up the wine glass, drank the wine, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes turned sharp, and he said to Liu Biao:
"Dispatch the city lord's palace escort team to the richest and most famous landlords, patriarchs, and grain merchants among the hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou City. Tomorrow morning they all gathered at the gate of the city, and let them line up one by one in advance, and stand there waiting for the personal summons of the envoy. ”
"Yes, the subordinate will go and order." Liu Biao didn't know what Yunmo was going to do, but he did as he was told.
If the Overseer is going to take over this mess, why wouldn't I?
Situ Nantian and the others also looked at each other, did they really want to rob each other?
They can't ask, so they can only wait for tomorrow.
Early the next morning.
It was cold and windy, and although there was no snow, it was still very cold, especially early in the morning.
There were more than 100 people gathered at the gate of the city, and those who had martial arts cultivation were fine, but the grain merchants who did not have martial arts were all shivering with cold, and they couldn't stand steadily.
They had been informed the previous evening, and then they had followed the convoy to the gates of the city early in the morning, and they had heard that it was an invitation from the new Inspector, and not half of them dared not come.
If they don't come, or if they have half a complaint, I am afraid that they will be cut down by someone sent by the inspector who does not know the temperament, and the inspector has the right to cut them first and then play, and whoever dares to offend will have nowhere to reason at that time.
Yunmo was not late, and arrived on time. However, at this time, they had been standing outside the city gate for more than half an hour.
Five or six hundred soldiers surrounded these more than 100 people, and these 100 or so people dared not speak out, for fear that they would be hacked to death by inadvertently.
Yunmo put his hands on his back and stood on the city wall looking down on these landlords and wealthy merchants.
After about half an hour of drying them, Yunmo finally spoke: "This envoy, I summoned you, and there is only one sentence to explain to you." ”
"The order issued by the envoy three days ago, anyone who dares to disobey it will be killed."
In the last three words, Yunmo's voice suddenly became indifferent and bloody, echoing in the ears of these landlords and wealthy businessmen, and could not be dissipated for a long time.
Then, a bold rich merchant asked: "My lord, the grass people's grain is our own, we really have no surplus food, and even if there is, we still have to save it for the winter." ”
"Yes, yes, the court can't force us, right?"
Seeing that another person took the lead, one after another landlords and gentry opened their mouths and threw Yunmo's warning out of the clouds.
"Yes, the law of the Great Cloud doesn't stipulate that the grain must be sold."
"Yes, yes, it's not that we don't sell, we do, but the price is a little more expensive, so it's normal
Hm. ”
As soon as you say a word, the voice below becomes noisy.
Some landlords and wealthy businessmen even secretly walked together, wanting to unite and resist.
Liu Biao and the others were also watching this scene from the top of the city to see how Yunmo dealt with it.
Looking at this group of people, the corners of Yunmo's mouth showed a trace of curvature.
Seeing Yunmo's smile, the wealthy businessmen below didn't know why, and felt a little creepy.
"Do you know who I am?"
Yunmo asked, pointing at himself.
"Isn't your lord the inspector sent by the emperor?"
"Yes, yes, even the Overseer can't ignore the law."
Yunmo's smile became brighter, seeing Yunmo's smile, Liu Biao and the others still didn't know why, but Qi Chendong knew that if Yunmo showed such an expression, someone must be unlucky.
"Hehe, that's right, I'm the Inspector, but I'm also Yunmo, before, they all called me Little Wangye."
"Yunmo? Little Prince? ”
A group of wealthy businessmen muttered, and after a moment, their faces changed.
They have heard of Yunmo's notoriety, that is the lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, he should not
"Your set is useless to me, I can kill whoever I want. Today, someone has to die! ”
Yunmo's words caused the temperature in the air to drop a few orders again.
Hearing Yunmo's words, the landlords and wealthy businessmen who had tried to unite and resist the executive order before were almost ready to break their hearts and galls.
Yun Mo didn't care what their expressions were, and waved his hand.
Seeing Yunmo's gesture, the captain of the City Lord's Mansion Guard took out a list and announced: "Xie Baoqing, a wealthy merchant in the west of the city, has not declared any surplus grain within three days, and the supervisor will make a decision to betray him. ”
Then two soldiers walked out behind him, pulled the man aside, drew his sword, and shone with a blinding light in the morning glow.
"The Overseer spares his life, spares his life." The rich merchant who was dragged out shouted, but no one paid attention to him, and with a poof, the head fell to the ground.
"Ahh The crowd screamed, and the faint of heart were already peeing their pants.
"Wang Youcai, a big landlord in the east of the city, declared the amount of surplus grain within three days as 10,000 quintals, and after investigation and verification, he concealed 200,000 quintals of surplus grain, and the supervision envoy sentenced him to a decisive decision~"
Wang Youcai is an old businessman, he wants to take a step at a time, after all, an inspector has just come. It's better to declare it, but he ignored it, and if the declaration was not true, he would be convicted of the same crime as not declaring.
He was pulled out with a pale face, he knew that he was being treated as the chicken that killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey, and with a pop another head fell, and the two bloody heads frightened the rest of the people.
Without waiting for the captain of the guard to continue to announce, all the people knelt down and said that they were willing to give all the food to the court and not take a penny.
"Hmph."
Yunmo sneered, he wasn't ready to let them go.
"Although you admit your mistakes, you can avoid the death penalty, and the living sin cannot be escaped!"
