Chapter 196: Ming Jun Xianchen
There was nothing to say all night, because yesterday when Hua Rong was reading in Dujia, he had sent someone to post notices all over the city, asking everyone regardless of age, status, status, gender, to go to the square in the center of Heze Mansion to gather the next morning, and those who violated the order would bear the consequences, so before dawn, the square was already dark and full of people.
As in Yuncheng County before, there were also soldiers from Liangshan standing around, and all the leaders sat in turn on the high platform, and Du Jia was naturally in the middle.
The people below are trembling and looking at the people on the stage, Qingzhou is also located in the Central Plains, located in the southeast of Yanzhou, facing the sea on one side, surrounded by mountains on one side, and the other two sides are plains, so there is no shortage of grain, rice, fish and salt, and they have always been very rich, so although the society is in turmoil and the court is chaotic, the people here can barely survive, and they don't know much better than the rest of the state capitals.
In addition, this place is not at the border, few barbarian iron horsemen can set foot here, so life is relatively peaceful, since the early days of the founding of Song Taizu to the present, this Heze Mansion has never been attacked by outsiders, at most, someone came to 'borrow grain' or harass the surrounding area, so today everyone is extremely flustered when they see the people of Liangshan, and they don't know what will happen next.
As Hua Rong shouted, 'Take the prisoner', two little minions immediately escorted Liu Wanchun up, just one night, this guy's condition is completely different, his hair is scattered, his eye sockets are deep, he walks hobbly, where is there still half a point before the prefect's majesty?
In fact, Du Jia didn't embarrass him below, didn't strip him of his clothes, didn't lack him to eat and drink, didn't even tie him up, just imprisoned him in an empty room, after all, he was going to interrogate him in public before he bothered, if he really wanted to embarrass him, he would just be hacked to death, why bother so much.
But where did Liu Wanchun eat and drink, he thought about it again and again all night-he had already heard that the strongmen who attacked the city this time came from Liangshan, but he never thought that they would have such a scale, there were actually three or five thousand strong soldiers, even Han Hao and they all took refuge in the past, and he didn't expect that these 'robbers' would be so bold that they would dare to attack Heze Mansion directly!
As a close confidant of Yang Jian, one of the four traitorous ministers, Liu Wanchun naturally knew about the other three thieves of Qingtianhu, King of Fangla, and they dared to capture the county government and openly oppose the imperial court.
He didn't fall asleep for a moment all night, he was just in a daze and was woken up by the guards and brought over again, he raised his eyes and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he used to come here often, but before he sat on the high platform and gave orders or preached to the people below, he was all majestic, but he didn't expect to become a prisoner today.
Today, Du Jia handed over the task of presiding over this conference to Hua Rong, and he was just an observer, for two reasons, the first is because Hua Rong originally had a grudge against Liu Wanchun's brother Liu Gao - the latter suppressed and bullied Hua Rong when he was doing Qingfeng Zhai Zhengzhizhai, and let him deal with Liu Wanchun to help him get angry; The second is that Du Jia is now deliberately cultivating his subordinates to be independent, and Hua Rong is naturally no exception.
After Liu Wanchun brought it, Hua Rong said loudly to the people below: "Fathers and fellow villagers, we are Liangshan righteous people, we were very disturbed by everyone yesterday, and I apologize to you here first, after all, the outside world still has a deep misunderstanding of us, and we can't enter under normal circumstances." ”
None of the people below spoke, just listened honestly, to be honest, they were actually still in a state of being 'scared stupid', and they didn't know what these Liangshan 'thieves' wanted to do.
Hua Rong paused and then pointed at Liu Wanchun and said, "Everyone should know this dog official, right?" That's right, he is Liu Wanchun, the prefect of Heze Mansion, but as the parent official of the villagers, what he wants is not to serve as an official and benefit the people a lot, but to loot the people's fat and ointment, corrupt the law, and run rampant in the fish and meat township, everyone has suffered his losses, right? Today we have come to administer justice for you, and if you have any grievances, you can do so, and we are the masters of everything. ”
Hua Rong asked a few times in a row, but no one responded to the people below, since ancient times, the idea of 'the people do not fight with the officials' has long been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, even if they see Liu Wanchun becoming a prisoner, who knows what kind of heart these people in Liangshan have, if Liu Wanchun is accused today, as soon as they leave tomorrow, Liu Wanchun will regain power, and then he will not want his own life?
Hua Rong also took into account that the people would have this reaction, so he didn't ask any more questions but said to the soldiers next to him: "Bring all the things found from this dog official to the stage, and let everyone take a closer look." ”
Left and right agreed to go down, and after a while, I saw dozens of small minions pushing dozens of tricycles over, and then carefully put the things on the long table on the high platform, only to see that the yellow is gold, the white is silver, the bright is the pearl, the red is the treasure, the jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and the like are countless, where have the people seen this kind of thing, all of them are dazzled.
Seeing that everyone was finally no longer the same stagnant water as before, Hua Rong smiled lightly: "How about it, this is what was found in the house of the stolen official, and this does not include many real estate deeds and money-lending things, we have counted them last night, do you want to know how many there are?" ”
At this moment, the people finally reacted, and many people couldn't help but whisper 'yes', but the voice of thousands of people together was not small.
Hua Rong smiled and waved his hand, and a little minion in the accounting office next to him immediately took out a piece of paper and read aloud: "A total of 1,200 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, more than 55,000 pieces of money were found from Liu Wanchun's house, and the rest of the jewelry was a total of one hundred and eight pieces, which was converted into about 180,000 yuan." ”
There was immediately a gasp among the people, among them, if there was a hundred yuan in the family, it could be considered a medium-sized family, and what Liu Wanchun's family got was equivalent to 1,800 such families, how terrifying is this?
And this does not include his real estate and real estate and the debts that are released, according to the general law, the amount of those will only be more than the amount of cash, if you count those, I am afraid that all the assets of the five thousand families may not be able to catch up with him, almost all of them account for one percent of the number of people in this Heze Mansion.
