Xunzhou City, which has been emptied of a lot of prisons,

Li Anping, a cloth merchant, was also walking around in great boredom and anxiety, because as far as he could see, the wealthy merchants who were imprisoned like him were gradually decreasing and disappearing, and it was obvious that they had made compromises and given up;

And there are some others who are like dead dogs in the howl of ghosts and wolves, and they are dragged out after being tortured, but they are all the results and ends of those who are usually very rich and unkind, or have a lot of bad deeds.

Obviously, these grass thieves first sealed their respective homes, and then pulled them out and concentrated them in detention in the name of interrogating and colluding with officials and dogs to resist the rebels, as well as shielding the remaining officers and soldiers in private possession and the remnants of the Tutuan. It's not as simple as just following this to extort money from scratch.

And Li Ping'an also faintly heard that among these crimes mastered by the grass thieves, it is said that many of the other parties are their domestic servants and slaves or something, and under the bewitchment and coercion of those grass thieves, they are corrected and exposed one by one.

The thieves even encouraged those of them in prison to sue each other in exchange for relative forgiveness. As a result, some people who had grudges and gaps with each other began to come in one after another for all kinds of bad luck, and they exposed each other's secrets here and made the grass thieves who supervised them a lot of jokes.

However, Li Anping was a little fortunate that he had lived in a layman for many years, and his involvement with local leaders was limited, and at most he was assigned money and food to defend the city; On weekdays, the slaves and maids at home are only beaten and scolded at most, but no lives or serious disabilities are left behind, and then they are driven out to fend for themselves;

Therefore, those grass thieves did not directly torture or torture him, but listed his property in the city in the same way, and then asked him how much he could use to repay and help the great cause of "heaven making up for the average" of these rebels; It's just that if he can't satisfy the other party, he can only go hungry and not sleep; Then he was dragged out from time to time, and watched the rich and eunuchs as a companion, and under the identification of the witnesses with their heads covered, confessed to the accumulated crimes that had accumulated over the years, and perhaps even they had forgotten about them.

And at this point, he only felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, although it had only been a few days, he had easily developed a waist that could be called rich, and he had seriously shrunk a lot, and his rich cheeks were deeply sunken; The long torment of fear and monotony also made him miss the comfortable bed collapse and the casual food and drink at home, and the soft heart of the young maid. Then he finally decided to repay the other party by taking out five hundred more silks from his secret collection, so that he might be able to exchange it for a meal with cold, greasy chicken.

。。。。。。。

In the school field in front of the state government, there are also lively and extraordinary scenes; I saw that under the order maintained by the soldiers of the rebel army with swords and guns, countless onlookers seemed to be crowded, and the high-level forgeries of the state government were used to announce the big platform, and the water was leaking around, and from time to time bursts of roars and angry shouts erupted.

As the actual planner and promoter behind the scenes, Zhou Huai'an also stood on the drum tower at the commanding heights of the state government, set up a table of wine and food with a group of rebel leaders, and took this scene and made the flavor and background of the wine.

Different from the previous Changle County, which had a small population, Xunzhou Prefecture City has a full 30,000 or 40,000 long-term residents in the household registration, and this is still the main family member of every household on the books, not including those old people and minor children, as well as a large number of hidden people such as slaves and maids who are attached to the names of wealthy families, large households, eunuchs and gentry; It can be said that the difficulty and complexity of control and governance have increased more than several times compared with before.

In addition, under the panic and panic after the destruction of the city, except for the limited order on the most basic streets, other public operations and social functions were almost paralyzed, everywhere the street market was suspended and the shops were closed, and most residents were closed and did not dare to enter and exit; There are also a lot of things to deal with in all aspects, and he, a modern person who is known to have a long history and lessons, will inevitably have to scratch his head and panic for a while before he can find an entry point to start dealing with.

Fortunately, with the help of the basic ability of this unknown possession system to assist in calculation and analysis and classification, he will not immediately fall into a hurry.

According to the tradition and style of the Rebels, who were very mobile in the past, they were only temporary passers-by, so it was enough to ensure that they could gather as much food, food, goods and soldiers as possible in the shortest possible time to expand and strengthen their ranks; Therefore, in terms of ways and means, there is no need to pay much attention to anything, just shoot people on the street to find the most luxurious and wealthy people to requisition or put on a charge of assisting the official dog, and just raid the house.

But this time, Wang Pan obviously had other ideas, and planned to repair and replenish the territory of Xunzhou for a period of time, so as to digest and absorb the strength of the Angry Wind Battalion that had expanded too quickly during this time; So Zhou Huai'an, who once boasted about Haikou and prevented the soldiers from further plundering, had to hand over a satisfactory answer.

Torture and questioning of his hidden family property is only the beginning of the first step.

Therefore, his next thing is to break the old order and class of the city through this act of public trial, and to expose those upper beings who were originally above the top to the wrath of the multitude; And step by step, they have used their luxurious and prosperous life to create and weave a natural fig leaf of calm and dignity, and expose the fragility and powerlessness that are no different from ordinary people, and even the ugly state that is unbearable.

This is also a basic beginning and gradual process of destroying the facts and mental authority that they have shaped and accumulated over generations, with the network of money and power, and the minions who play for the tiger. Although, he is also the first time to operate this kind of thing when chasing ducks on the shelves.

Fortunately, this hastily drafted simple public trial and execution conference was a relative success, although there were still many faults and omissions; It was also lost in the execution process that the attitude of the soldiers of the rebel army was blunt and the methods were rude, which frightened many people and had a somewhat counterproductive effect. And when the corresponding people on the stage stammered and read out the indictment, they also read the wrong words several times under nervousness.

But just by arranging some support among the mixed people, responsible for the coaxing and complaining after the beginning and precedent, the twenty or so big families and the heads of the official families who withdrew as targets were almost drowned by all kinds of stones and garbage and rotten vegetables flying in the sky under the infection of the crowd; Therefore, in the end, the sergeants who stood on the sides with a particularly loud voice counted many crimes over and over again, and stabbed them in the head when they were dying or struggling to breathe, which was considered a kind of relief.

And looking at those nobles and officials who were once high and high, after being humiliated into ass urine without any image, and then dying miserably on the stage, the atmosphere of the public present couldn't help but be ignited, and reached one after another**; Almost all of them roared, cursed, and spat under the influence of the atmosphere, as if they had forgotten at this moment how these unattainable people and the identity background they represented, how awe and trepidation were on weekdays.

Then as their dogs and accomplices, after being escorted out and tied to the stake, the performance was even more unbearable, with feces and urine flowing and stenching, and weeping and crying; It's just that they didn't die so happily, but let those bitter masters who had been poisoned and mutilated by them step forward one by one with scissors, drills, sickles and other things, complaining and revenge, and slowly killing them on the spot in the wailing sound.

And after the halfway of drinking, Zhou Huai'an saw Wang Pan on the stage with a face full of pride and excitement, it seems that this kind of public presiding over justice and sentencing, these high-ranking rich people, the feeling of eunuchs, made him very useful and happy. I saw that he was dressed in a big coat and surrounded by armored soldiers, and began to announce something loudly; Then baskets and baskets of copper coins were picked up and scattered into the crowd one after another.

Then the gates of the state government were all opened, and there were carts of cloth and grain bags, as well as all kinds of objects confiscated from the homes of the wealthy and powerful gentry of the official eunuchs, and the carts were dumped under the platform, which was the stimulation of the real interests after the instigation of the masses and the appearance of the statement;

Although the dozens of copper coins seem to be a lot, they are only a small part of the overall value of the state town, and those cloth, grain, and household goods are also copied from these people's houses and industries, and a small part is the most coarse and worthless. And the real ambush and intentions are also placed on these household objects, which obviously bear a personal style and imprint.

Of course, although this is also Zhou Huai'an's suggestion and planning, he has no interest in showing up and participating in this kind of scene of buying people's hearts.

"They are not afraid... Revenge and reckoning afterwards? ”

At this time, Lao Guan, who was already a brigade commander, couldn't help but raise a question;

Because according to his memory, when the rebels were fighting in the north, they also used to distribute grain and wealth to the poor people in some large and small households; But it seems that it is obviously not more effective in penetrating the hearts of the people and impressing the people this time, but it has also affected the people who have benefited from the righteous army.

"Of course I'm afraid, so we're going to give it a push."

Zhou Huai'an didn't care.

"As the so-called elimination of evil is exhausted, it depends on our follow-up means;"

"Anyway, as long as the roots are dug up, the dead can't come back and do something more."

"In this way, for the sake of safety afterwards, it is natural that someone will have to go with us,"

"I don't want to go with us, and I have to worry about the government coming back to settle accounts, and I often can't help them."

"In addition, we can come up with the means to vote for the name."

"Take a good look at it and deal with it, which ones are really attached to the rebels, and which ones are wavering."

Zhou Huai'an gave them some ideas and plans.

"Sure enough, people who read a lot are full of ideas and thoughts."

At this moment, among the leaders and generals of the rebel army beside him, what he felt was a deep awe mixed with admiring eyes and expressions.

And Zhou Huai'an's feeling at the moment is that the new Chinese ancestor who came after him said that "the class struggle will be effective as soon as it is grasped", and he just made a slight attempt, and he has already made this righteous army and the local people show a different spiritual outlook and atmosphere from the usual.
