Chapter 219: Beheading the head of the Liu family
More than 100 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Division tied up more than 30 family members who had beaten Li Zhi tenant farmers, pressed them to the ground, held up wooden planks high, and each of them beat 40 large boards, so that the flesh and blood of those family members were blurred, and they screamed again and again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These family members are used to being majestic in Jinghai County, and they can't imagine that they will be beaten one day today.
Then there are four adult males of the Liu family.
Four adult males of the Liu family who are not in the family also played forty boards. Although these men did not preside over decision-making, they also acted as a prestige on the heads of the poor people on weekdays, and they should also be beaten. Forty boards were beaten, and the four men of the Liu family were crying wolves.
There are many famous things about hitting the board, and there are various differences such as heavy lifting and light beating, heavy lifting and heavy beating. The effect of hitting the board depends entirely on the technique of the soldier who hits the board. However, at this time, Zheng Hui personally supervised the playing of the board, and he was chased by the Liu family once at that time, and he was very annoyed with the Liu family and asked the soldiers to beat him again. The soldiers were also very dissatisfied with the Liu family who opposed General Longhu, and they were very ruthless, and the forty boards were sturdy.
When these Liu family members were screaming on the ground, where did they still have the majesty of their usual commands? Forty boards down, the men of the Liu family are already half dead.
The Liu family has been raided at this time, and where they will go to recuperate after being carried down, and how long it will take to recover from their injuries depends on the luck of these men.
Seeing that the male of the Liu family was beaten, the poor peasants who became tenant farmers of the Liu family by the river had blood-red eyes and applauded loudly. The scene was very boiling, as if it was revenge.
The next step is to return the land and shops of the oppressed people to the people. The Liu family robbed 1,000 acres of dry land by the river, and illegally annexed more than a dozen shops in Langshui Town, and now these illegal gains must be returned to the owner.
Li Zhi's secret ambassador, Han Jinxin, has already investigated the original owners of the shops, and these original owners have been summoned to the side of the execution ground. Li Zhi was in charge, wrote the deed of the sale and purchase of the shop, and asked Liu Jianshen, the head of the Liu family, to press his handprint and return the shop to its original owner.
The small merchants who took back the shops were very happy, and they wanted to kneel and kowtow to Li Zhi one by one. A few businessmen even burst into tears, kneeling on the ground and shouting that Li Zhi was the master of the blue sky!
The farmland is also operated, but the original owner of the farmland was originally in the hands of the farmers, and was bought by Li Zhi as evidence some time ago, and those original title deeds are enough to prove the land property ownership of the farmers. The Liu family has relied on their power to occupy the farmland over the years, and they don't even care about the land deeds in the hands of the farmers, but at this time it has become evidence of their evil.
Li Zhi stood in the middle of the crowd and said loudly: "The products of the 47 farmers by the river will be returned to their original owners!" These forty-seven peasant families no longer need to pay rent to the Liu family! ”
Hearing Li Zhi's words, more than 200 peasants rejoiced, and some even cried. In recent years, a few members of a peasant family lived on those dozen acres of land, and there was a world of difference between paying fifty percent of the land rent and not paying the land rent. How can they not rejoice that not paying land rent means that they will be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes, and that they will not die of illness and starvation?
The peasants who had regained their land spontaneously knelt down towards Li Zhi, kneeling down in a large area, shouting for the blue sky.
The last thing to deal with is Liu Jianshen, the head of the Liu family, and his eldest son, at this time the two are heavily tied by ropes, and there is a wooden sign with a chopping word on their backs. The two of them knelt on the ground, looking very desperate. Liu Jianshen, the head of the Liu family, no longer has the grandeur of the past at this time, and desperately kowtows to Li Zhi and begs for mercy:
"Dragon and Tiger General Rende, let me live, I will miss your great kindness for the rest of my life!"
"General Dragon and Tiger doesn't care about villains, spare my life!"
Li Zhi said loudly to the small farmers and traders whose property was seized by the Liu family: "Are you willing to let these two people go?" ”
When the small farmers and traders who had been oppressed for many years heard this, they shouted: "I don't want to! ”
"Kill them!"
"Kill!"
In the past eight years, the Liu family has taken away the land and property of poor peasants to make them tenant farmers, and they have taken away 50% of their output in one year, so that they have not enough to eat and clothing, and let them change from subsistence and clothing farmers to tenant farmers who have not enough to eat. Many of these poor peasant families froze to death because of poverty, and they had a deep hatred for the Liu family.
At this time, the guilty master has been caught, how can he let him go because of his soft words?
Those traders were also robbed of the Liu family's food business, and in the past ten years, they have only sent people to find another way to make a living, and their lives are miserable, where are they willing to let go of the head of the Liu family at this time.
Even the unrelated people who were watching shouted loudly to kill. The Liu family monopolized all kinds of businesses in Langshui Town, and the prices of goods were quite high. However, all the shops opened by other people in the town were destroyed by the Liu family, and there was only this one town within a radius of ten miles, and the nearby villagers could only endure the exploitation of the Liu family on weekdays, and they were very dissatisfied with the Liu family.
At this time, seeing that Li Zhi wanted to uphold justice for the people, where were these people willing to let go of the head of the Liu family?
Looking at the indignant people, Li Zhi nodded and said: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, the emotions are boiling, and not killing is not enough to make the people angry!" Execute! ”
The two riflemen walked up to the two leading men of the Liu family and placed their guns on their heads.
"Don't kill me, my son Liu Bingchuan is the imperial history!"
There were only two gunshots, and two insatiable gentry were shot in the head and fell in a pool of blood. The onlookers were startled by the gunfire and retreated in a panic. But they quickly reacted and stood still and shouted cheers.
"The Dragon Tiger General is mighty!"
"Lord Qingtian eliminates harm for the people!"
"Blue sky! Blue sky! ”
"Blue sky!"

On 8 May, Zhu Youzhen, the son of the Great Emperor, sat in the left gate of the imperial city and convened the county magistrates who had performed well in the three-year plan to evaluate and select them. The five county commanders walked in front of the Son of Heaven one by one in order, and Zhu Youzhen was worried about the lack of enough food and salary to recruit troops and horses to deal with the situation of the flames, so he asked the five county commanders how they could get enough soldiers and horses and food to fight the flat thieves and slaves.
The two magistrates who came in front of them were not ashamed, and what they said were empty talk about morality, which made Zhu Youzhen a little unhappy. But the third magistrate who walked in, Zeng Zhiyi, had an extraordinary performance, and his words made Zhu Youzhen's eyes light up.
"The hardship of the people is due to the incorruptibility of the officials, so that the orders are honest, that is, it is necessary to send a little more to help the army."
Zhu Youzhen happily asked: "How to make officials honest?" ”
The magistrate once said: "Ming examination and selection, heavy punishment, and election of imperial history can reverse the atmosphere and make officials gradually cheaper!" ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded, and said loudly without waiting for the other two magistrates to answer the question: "Well said, I chose you as the first in the assessment and transferred to the Hanlin Academy as an editor." ”
Although it is hard to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy, it is much brighter than being a county commander, and he will be a Beijing official in the future. When the county commander heard this, he kowtowed to the ground and said loudly: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers are grateful!" ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction.
After assessing the five counties, Zhu Youzhen walked to the Qianqing Palace with the guard of honor, but saw Wang Chengen trotting all the way over.
"Emperor, then Li Zhi is causing trouble again!" (To be continued.) )
