Chapter 38: The First Encounter
"This is just a one-sided statement, I'm afraid I can't convince the public, right?"
Ye Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the person who spoke, this person was a little anxious.
"Yes, this is indeed a one-sided statement, but the official's official reputation is here, the official's people are also here, that Zhang Wu has now been beaten into the hospital by you, and on the court that day, there are not only the gentry in the city, but also hundreds of onlookers on the side, is the official a one-sided word, have you ever really studied it?"
Ye Zhao looked at everyone with his eyes, and said loudly: "Since Ye Mou entered the office, he has been doing well, sitting upright, what I said, I have not failed to practice, this official dares to guarantee with his official reputation and net worth, my case, there is no fake public and private interest, but have you ever thought that the person who instigated you and others to besiege this county government may come up with evidence that you believe in to prove that this official has wronged a good person?" ”
Thinking about what Ye Zhao did after taking office, many people completely calmed down, and even many people began to disperse quietly, after all, it is not a trivial matter to gather a crowd to storm the government, although the law does not blame the public, but if the court really wants to investigate and catch some typical examples, who knows if it will fall on his head?
"Don't listen to his gossip to confuse the public!" In the crowd, the man couldn't help but be anxious when he saw this, it was originally planned, as long as Ye Zhao refused to come out, this public resentment would become bigger and bigger under their instigation, although there were still a few months before the agreed day of the uprising, but this Suiyang was an important town, and the guards here would be harmed in advance, and the incident would be more successful at that time.
It's just that he couldn't imagine that this Ye Zhao would dare to come out, he has seen too many officials in the Han Dynasty who are greedy for life and afraid of death, especially in the past two years, the sale of officials and knighthoods by the Son of Heaven has become more and more serious, and it has also made fewer and fewer officials with responsibility.
"Lies to confuse the public, this official wants to see who is deceiving the people! Where is Dian Wei, take this person down for me! Seeing that the people who had been huddled together began to loosen, Ye Zhao's eyes were cold, and he shouted.
"Whoa!" Dian Wei, who was already a little impatient, agreed loudly when he heard this, stepped out, and the burly body rushed into the crowd, really like an ancient version of a bulldozer, rampage through the crowd to open a passage, the man was shocked when he saw this, turned around and was about to flee.
"I want to go!" Dian Wei's steps were extremely fast, and when the man turned around, he had already rushed behind him, and grabbed it, the man was also burly, but in Dian Wei's hands, he was no different from a chicken, and was carried out of the crowd by Dian Wei.
"Die!" This person is also a ruthless character, seeing that there is no hope of escape, he actually took out a short sword from his arms and stabbed Dian Wei in the chest and abdomen.
"Smack~"
Dian Wei is a fierce man who has been with fierce beasts all year round, and his vigilance is better than ordinary people, this person was noticed by him as soon as he made a move, and his empty left hand grabbed this person's wrist, laughed fiercely, and flashed sideways over the two short knives stabbed in the crowd at the same time, his wrist slammed into force.
"Click~" There was a crisp sound, one of the man's arms holding the sword twisted strangely, and his whole face was also twisted, and the man was also stiff, and his whole arm was broken, but he just snorted and did not scream.
When the surrounding people saw the fight, they had already dispersed in a hurry, and immediately exposed those with bad intentions in the crowd, Ye Zhao pointed to the people who were still left: "Take down all those who are holding sharp weapons!" ”
"Whoa!" Ding Li, Fang Yue and the others did not say anything, and rushed directly with people, although these people were not as weak as the common people, but in front of Ye Zhao, a well-trained and honed family general on the battlefield, they were no different from ordinary people.
Just a charge, they were disarmed, the recalcitrant ones were directly killed on the spot, blood stained the ground, the people who were hiding in the distance to watch were even more frightened, did not dare to linger any longer, except for some bold, the rest were scattered as birds and beasts.
The people were gone, but in all directions, a hundred and ten men with various weapons rushed out, and when they saw that their leaders were being held by Dian Wei, they all let out a shout and rushed towards this side.
"Don't worry about me, run!" The man grinned in pain, but when he saw this, he hurriedly wanted to stop his companion's rescue.
He can see that these people around Ye Zhao in front of him are not good stubble, and they are not of the same level as the county soldiers they usually encounter, and now rushing up is no different from looking for death.
"Looks like it's still a big fish!" Seeing this, Ye Zhao's eyes lit up, he originally just wanted to arrest those who instigated the people to deter the army, but he didn't expect that the arrest of a Ma An would lead the Taiping Sect disciples who had been lurking in the dark for so many years to jump out, just an ordinary steward, and it alarmed so many people, Ye Zhao became more and more curious about the identity of Ma Yuanyi.
"Now that you're here, it's not easy to leave!" The corners of his mouth pulled up a sneer, and Ye Zhaolang said: "Dian Wei, show me this man, I will interrogate him myself later, don't let him die!" ”
"Whoa!" Dian Wei carried the man in the crowd and directly used it as a weapon, knocked away a few Taiping disciples who were approaching, and rushed back to Ye Zhao's side with a large stride meteor, threw the man to the ground, and directly threw the man on his back.
Seeing that the leader was arrested, coupled with the other party's previous orders, the other Taiping disciples had already lost their fighting spirit and dispersed in a hurry, Ding Li and others took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured a lot on the spot, but there were still many people who could not be caught and ran away.
"Lord, a lot of people have gone!" Ding Li and Fang Yue came back and saluted Ye Zhaoyi.
"What about our casualties?" Ye Zhao asked.
"There are more than a dozen county guards, and one person will not live, and many other people will be affected." Fang Yue bowed.
"Destiny Cao Shi allocated some money from the treasury to comfort the suffering brothers and those people who were affected, in addition to martial law in the whole city, notify the whole city, and capture the same party, reward a thousand dollars!" Ye Zhao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Sheng, you take the county guards to the outside of the city, seize the horse village, if there are resistors, kill!" ”
Although I know that there will probably be no gain there, at least the property will have to be taken back to compensate for the loss of the treasury.
"Whoa!" Jiang Sheng agreed when he heard this, they are not good at fighting tough battles, but they are better at this matter of raiding the family than these people brought by Ye Zhao.
"Qiu Chi, immediately write an official document and hand it over to the Prime Minister's Mansion, asking Minister Liang Guoxiang to allow us to impose martial law, and send someone to notify the major wealthy families in the city, so that they can also help." Ye Zhao said solemnly.
"Whoa!"
"Bring these people in, and I'm going to interrogate them myself!"
