……

At noon on the tenth day of August, the streets of Changyang ......

"Bang~~"

A deafening sound of gongs echoed through the alleys and street corners, and the people who heard the sound took to the streets and stood on both sides of the street, looking in the direction of the source of the sound despite the summer heat.

"Click~"

But hearing the sound of baskets mopping the floor, a group of heavily armed soldiers dragged Dong Tianke, Lu Yuanling, and Su Jingshan, who were loaded in three baskets, with hemp ropes, and slowly walked towards the corner at the end of the street.

And Zhang Zhaotong, who escorted the three people to the street this time, originally belonged to the flag envoy under Su Jingshan, because when Ye Yin went to persuade him to surrender, he was the first to draw a knife and cut Qu Yong, and he was named by Liu Ce to be in charge of the street parade, which can make Zhang Zhaotongle almost give the concubine he just accepted in the first half of the year to Liu Ce as a bed warmer.

Since ancient times, officialdom has been the norm, as long as the boss loses power because of a crime, the subordinates will put the old boss to death, and Zhang Zhaotong is no exception.

Originally, the three people who were paraded on the street today should have been in the prisoner car, but Zhang Zhaotong ingeniously proposed to Liu Ce that these three people are not as good as pigs and dogs, and they are not worthy of being in the prisoner car, and they should be packed in baskets stacked with garbage, so that people with different intentions can take it as a warning in the future.

Liu Ce thought about it and agreed to Zhang Zhaotong's suggestion, and Zhang Zhaotong ordered the craftsmen in the city to transform the basket that was half a person tall and could barely squeeze into a person, and asked his subordinates to soak them in pig manure for a full night, and then he didn't even bother to clean up the stains, so he stuffed Lu Yuanling and the three of them into it, and then put on a wooden flail and a basket to fix it, so there was this scene.

Poor Lu Cheng and the three of them only felt that they could only maintain a posture and squat in a small basket, whether they were standing or squatting, their waists were about to break in the process of dragging, and the disgusting stench made their stomachs vomit yellow bile......

Zhang Zhaotong sat in the four-carried sedan chair behind them, extremely satisfied with his results, he lifted the sedan curtain and looked at the crowd watching more and more, and then glanced at the soldiers who were following him.

The soldier understood this, and immediately ordered the procession to stop at the most crowded crossing, and then said loudly to the surrounding people: "Neighbors, the military governor already knows that the suffering you have suffered is the work of these three traitors who are inferior to beasts, so he has decided to let these three people come to your trial. ”

The crowd on the street kept pointing at Lu Yuanling and the others, but no one dared to stand up and speak loudly.

Even though the newspapers have published their crimes in recent days, the remnants of the Shi clan still exist in the hearts of these residents, and even if they are now reduced to this, they still dare not make a mistake, and the concept of Shishu has been deeply ingrained in their minds, and it is not easy to change.

"Hahaha......" Lu Yuanling laughed, "What qualifications do you untouchables have to decide my life and death?" The three generations of my Lu family are all Great Zhou Shilords, who dares to be rude to me! ”

Su Jingshan also shouted and scolded: "Liu Ce is a child! Come to a sticky end! Lao Tzu will not let you go if he is a ghost, and he wants this group of to determine Lao Tzu's life and death? Dream! ”

When the surrounding people heard this, they couldn't help but retreat a few steps, looking at each other one by one, and the voice of the discussion became even quieter.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene was suppressed by Lu Yi and the three of them, and the expected goal was not achieved, Zhang Zhaotong was very dissatisfied, but fortunately, he had a follow-up move.

I saw him open the sedan curtain and sweep into the crowd, glanced at the two foreign ruffians who had been bought, and made eye contact with them.

The two ruffians immediately squeezed out of the crowd and rushed to the three people in the basket and shouted loudly: "Brute, a group of pigs and dogs are not as good as things!" Phew! ”

Saying that, the two ruffians spit on Su Jingshan and Dong Tianke's faces.

When the surrounding soldiers saw it, they immediately stepped forward and wanted to pull the two down, but they didn't want to be stopped by Zhang Zhaotong and said: "Don't stop them, the military governor said that we must follow the will of the people, and we should listen to what the people want." ”

When the escort soldiers heard this, they put away their swords and guns and stopped stopping them.

Seeing this, the two ruffians roared even more unscrupulously: "Brute, how do you treat us on weekdays? You also have today, go and die! ”

As he spoke, the two ruffians took out rocks from their bodies and smashed them into their heads.

Lu Yuanling was hit by a stone on the bridge of his nose, and suddenly felt a salty smell flowing down with a thick liquid.

And Su Jingshan's forehead was smashed out of blood bags.

"Lu Yuanling, you return my husband's life!"

"Su Jingshan, my son starved to death, come to pay for my son's life!"

"Bastard, die......"

Driven by the two ruffians, the atmosphere in the crowd was gradually ignited, and finally it was completely detonated, and countless stones fell on the three of them one after another, so frightened that the surrounding soldiers hurriedly moved closer to the sedan chair to avoid being affected.

Liu Ce...... Belch...... You...... Uh......"

Su Jingshan wanted to open his mouth and scold again, but he didn't want to be smashed beyond recognition by countless stones that fell on his head, and his face was full of red and swollen blood bags.

"Bang~"

Finally smashed a bluestone on his temple, Su Jingshan only felt a roar in his mind, and the next moment he couldn't hear anything, only saw two people with long tongues, one black and one white, approaching him with strange green chains in the crowded crowd......

Su Jingshan tilted his head like this, cutting off his vitality......

"Poof......

Dong Tianke violently spat out a mouthful of blood and carried out two teeth, which were gradually swallowed up by the darkness in a stone rain......

"How can I, Lu Yuanling, die at the hands of you pariahs! Liu Ce...... I'm waiting for you on Huangquan Road......"

After Lu Yuanling let out the last hiss full of resentment in his life, he also entered the reincarnation, and his nose, eyes, and ears had long been smashed by the angry people......

Dong Tianke, Lu Yuanling, and Su Jingshan were stoned to death on the way to the street, ending their dirty and sinful lives.

……

Changyang garrison house......

"Returning to the military governor, the three of Lu rebel were deeply guilty, aroused the people's anger on the way through the street, and died in the chaos of the people......

After the death of Lu Yuanling and the others, Zhang Zhaotong returned to the garrison mansion and Liu Ce returned to the incident, posing with a good gesture.

When Liu Ce heard the news, he said lightly: "Since it is the anger of the masses, it shows that the public opinion is difficult to do, no wonder you, get up first." ”

Zhang Zhaotong hurriedly said: "Thank you Lord Military Governor for forgiving your sins......

After speaking, he got up and looked at Liu Ce and whispered: "Military Governor, those two who took the lead in the uprising, do you want to arrest them and punish them severely?" ”

Liu Ce said: "It is true that he should be arrested for taking the lead in coaxing and causing rebellion to death, but it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, so he will be detained for two days as punishment......

"The last general obeys!" When Zhang Zhaotong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and at the same time he left, he glanced at Ye Yin next to Liu Ce.

After Zhang Zhaotong left, Ye Yin, who had always been calm, finally couldn't restrain himself and said to Liu Ce: "Lord Military Governor, Lu Cheng and the three of them should have died, why do you want to make such a move?" ”

Liu Ce said flatly: "Ye Gongzi, you have also seen it, this is all public opinion......

"No......" Ye Yin interrupted Liu Ce and said, "Lord Military Governor, you are just using the contradictions between the scholars to manipulate public opinion, this is too much......

Liu Ce sneered: "Young Master Ye, then you say, what kind of contradiction would make this military governor so easy to control?" I think you know better than this Governor! ”

Ye Yin was speechless for a while when he heard this, in fact, he naturally understood that the grievances between the shishu had lasted for a long time, and this contradiction had reached the point of irreconcilability.

Liu Ce continued: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this military governor just wants these people to understand that they have the power in their hands that is enough to subvert this turbid world, and they can also control the life and death of those nobles who are high above.

They don't have to be afraid of being exploited and oppressed anymore, what this military governor has to do is to slowly guide the power in their bodies and finally awaken! ”

Hearing this, a trace of fine sweat appeared on Ye Yin's forehead, his eyes were full of horror, and finally he mustered up the courage to ask in a trembling voice: "Then dare to ask the military governor, what about after this power awakens?" And how are you going to do that? ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Ce's mouth, and finally asked rhetorically: "What does Ye Gongzi think this military governor should do?" ”

Ye Yin hurriedly took a few steps back, stunned in place and didn't dare to answer.

Liu Ce looked at Ye Yin's appearance, got up and said, "Does Ye Gongzi want to say that this military governor wants to use this huge force to overthrow a dynasty?" ”

Ye Yin kept twisting the Buddha beads in his hand, indeed, Liu Ce said the topic he wanted to say but didn't dare to say and was most afraid to face.

After a long time, Liu Ce sighed, diverted the topic and said: "Ye Gongzi, the chaos in Youzhou has been calmed down, and it is time to send troops to Jizhou to practice well, what suggestions do you have......

Ye Yin also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he didn't want to face this topic now, hearing Liu Ce say this, he shook off the Buddha beads and said: "Lord Military Governor, don't you think that the first thing is to reduce the army, eliminate all the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in the army, as well as the ruffians and soldiers who have been tired of serving in the army for many years, and then arrange other industries to prevent them from causing chaos,

In this way, first, we can maintain the combat strength of the army and reduce the army's expenditure; second, we can enable retired non-commissioned officers to become self-reliant and self-sufficient even if they have a job, and we will also reduce a lot of burdens on public order in various localities; and third, we can avoid the situation of warlords like Dong Wei standing side by side. ”

"Your thoughts coincide with this military governor...... Liu Ce nodded with satisfaction, "Then draw up detailed regulations as soon as possible, another thing ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Ce took out the three appointment documents that detonated the civil strife in Youzhou and handed them to Ye Yin and said, "These are not needed at present, burn them......"

Ye Yin took the three documents and came to the stove that had been prepared in front of the case, opened them one by one, and finally looked at the faces of the three people on it, and finally threw them into the furnace and burned instantly.

"I almost forgot, there is still a ......" Liu Ce suddenly got up, took out a red spy with gold wire trim from his arms, and walked to the stove.

Ye Yin frowned when he saw it: "Huh? Lord Governor, aren't there three books? Why is there a fourth? ”

Liu Ce said with a smile: "The first three books are all fake, and the governor's seal in the middle is red, but the real seal color is black......"

Speaking of this, Liu Ce opened the espionage and handed it to Ye Yin.

"Lord Governor! You ......" Ye Yin was undoubtedly shocked when he saw it, and he saw that the number of governors of Youzhou in the text spy was impressively written......

"Whew~"

Without waiting for Ye Yin to recover from the shock, Liu Ce threw the Wen spy into the fire.

"There is already a relationship of overlapping power between the governor and the military governor, and only one of the two is destined to remain,

Now the reset of the military governor itself is set up by the imperial family to suppress the growing group of scholars, it is really a helpless move, and anyone in this position with real power has bad intentions, it is very easy to cause an unprecedented turmoil, but at least for now......

Let all this be reduced to ashes with the end of the civil strife in Youzhou, even if it is only for a short period of peace......"

After speaking, Liu Ce stepped out of the garrison mansion, leaving Ye Yin alone to look at the Wen spy burning in the furnace for a long time......

At the same time, in Dingzhou, the civil war has also begun to break out, and the situation seems to be out of control......
