Listening to Liu Wenqi's narration, Zhang Yuan's forehead was suddenly drenched in cold sweat. If according to what Liu Wenqi said, wouldn't their actions have long been under the control of the other party?

"This can't be? How is that possible? Zhang Yuan said to himself in a trembling voice.

Liu Wenqi sneered and said disdainfully: "Impossible? Truth be told, your actions are very secretive. However, your series of counterattacks in Weinan County also made my king feel the problem. In addition, this Feng Yi Mansion is already under the control of my Da Zhao, how can your actions avoid us who have already recovered the hearts of the people? ”

"How is that possible? Lord Luo's actions are only known to the Li family and the Xu family, and you can't know about it. The passage of the granary, even Zhong Linyu and the former guards did not notice it, how could you know. Zhang Yuan's eyes were red, and he roared and asked Liu Wenqi.

"Is it Xu Liang or Zhang Siyuan? The Xu family participated in the operation, so they shouldn't betray us, could it be Zhang Siyuan, who is in charge of intelligence investigation? Zhang Yuan asked urgently, as if he wanted to find out the reason for their intelligence leakage from Liu Wenqi's mouth.

Liu Wenqi did not answer, but suggested that his subordinates would record what Zhang Yuan said. In fact, Liu Wenqi did not control the actions of Zhang Yuan and other Han army officers as they said. The Han army will raid the granary land, which is only its own speculation.

"No, no! Our people have seen with their own eyes that you have transported large quantities of grain and grass from the north of Aung through the baggage caravans, and it is impossible not to be in the granary. Liu Wenqi, do you want to deceive me? After Zhang Yuan asked a few words, he saw that Liu Wenqi did not answer, but listened to his words carefully, and immediately reacted, "Want to find out about the men and horses of my Han army in the city through me?" Vile! ”

"But I think all the grain and grass in your granary have been destroyed. Hmph, what if you know about the situation of our army in the city? We can destroy your food and materials, and our mission is accomplished. ”

Seeing that many officials were worried because of Zhang Yuan's words, Liu Wenqi said lightly: "Since we know that you are going to attack the granary, you say, will this official still watch your actions and not prepare?" You have indeed seen the baggage caravan carrying large quantities of grain and grass into the city and into the granaries. ”

"However, you should also see that a large number of grain and grass materials were also transported south by the baggage caravans. The grain and grass materials in the granary have already been transported out by them, and now what you have burned is only an empty granary. ”

"Impossible! Although your army has gone south and transported a lot of grain and grass materials, our people are not blind, and we still know how much you have brought in and how much you have brought out. You want to comfort these officials with this, haha...... Amusing! You, Liu Wenqi, are an important minister under the command of King Zhao, but you have lost the grain and grass materials of the army, resulting in no food on the front line of King Zhao. I don't know what you want? Could it be that you, Liu Wenqi, want to murder King Zhao and plot against him? Or do you go to Zhao to collude with other powerful people and want to usurp the throne? Zhang Yuan asked with a sly smile.

After saying this, Zhang Yuan also smiled gloomily at those Gaoling City civil and military officials with different faces, and said: "My lords, your top boss wants to do great things, I don't know how many of you are colluding with him?" How many people want to assassinate King Zhao and die? Think about the hundreds of officials in your Zhao State who were beheaded and dismissed by King Zhao at the beginning of this year, don't be affected by this guy! You know the ability of King Zhao, and if you want to survive, it depends on your choice. Be careful, be careful to follow in the footsteps of officials who have only recently died. ”

Zhang Yuan's words suddenly made the faces of those civil and military officials who didn't know the truth change drastically, and they couldn't help but look at Liu Wenqi and wanted to ask, but they seemed to have something to worry about, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

"Haha......" Liu Wenqi burst into laughter, "Yes, no wonder Lin Shucheng will let you come to Gaoling City for activities, you do have a hand." However, do you think you can provoke chaos within my Zhao Jun like this? Do you think you can change the fate of your failures? ”

"In this case, the official will tell you the truth! Since then, this official has speculated that your Han army has activities in Gaoling City and Feng Yi City in Feng Yi's Mansion, and this official is worried that you will also take action against other cities. ”

So the officer drove the soldiers in the city out of the city on the pretext that they were going south to support the front. But in fact, these troops did not go south to the front battlefield, but appeared in other cities in Feng Yi's mansion. Compared to other cities, tonight is also about your men and horses. Of course, I still believe that your main purpose is still here. ”

"I suspect that your purpose is the granary, but as you say, I have not found out your detailed plans, or even how many of you have participated. But I don't think you'll change the goal of your actions until you don't have a major change in the granary. ”

"In addition, your strength has also limited the scale of your operations, so in order to allow you to move as quickly as possible and not delay too long, this officer has arranged the army in various cities under the pretext of supporting the war on the southern front. In addition, in Leping City, a small city thirty miles southwest of the city, it became the place responsible for the repair of the soldiers of Gaoling City. ”

"As for the grain and grass you mentioned, it was all transported to Leping City a few days ago under the pretext of supporting the war on the southern front. As for the grain and grass materials transported from the north, they were not transported into the city at all, and they were also directly hoarded in Leping City in the south......"

"You're covering up! Our people obviously saw that the baggage team was continuously transporting grain and grass materials to the granary and treasury in the city, and there would definitely be no fake. Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Wenqi's calm expression and couldn't help but exclaim.

Liu Wenqi sneered: "Yes, you have seen the baggage team constantly transporting a large amount of grain and grass materials into the city through horse-drawn carriages. But can you see what is being carried on that wagon? Can you be sure of what's in the sack on top of the wagon? Are you sure it's food and grass? ”

Zhang Yuan's face suddenly froze, and from Liu Wenqi's words, he suddenly felt a trace of something wrong. He was assigned by Lin Shucheng to act in Gaoling City, and his mind was naturally extraordinary, and at this moment he also somewhat understood what Liu Wenqi meant. Still, he didn't quite believe his own guesses.

"Isn't your baggage team transporting grain and grass supplies? No...... That's impossible...... In the baggage caravan, as soon as we had the men in it, they had already made sure that the wagon was filled with grain...... Is this also ......?"

"Looks like you've guessed it, haven't you? Your baggage team with people is naturally composed of people from Gaoling City, but among these baggage teams, they are only one of them. We don't know if you've got any people in it, but just in case, we've put real food and grass in one of the convoys. As for the rest of the baggage teams, they were only sacks with other things. ”

"In other words, the grain and grass materials we transported from the north have actually been transported to Leping City, while those that have been transported to Gaoling City are fake. In addition, we used the baggage team to transport all the grain and grass materials of Gaoling City to Leping City on the grounds that they were needed by the army on the southern front. In the granaries of the city, all that was left was a small amount of grain and a lot of sand. ”

"Do you think the officials will be afraid of your arson? What this officer needs is to find this Han army that is operating in the city. This Gaoling City is the former jurisdiction of your Han army, although we occupy this place and have won the hearts of the people, but our understanding of the city is far inferior to yours. Therefore, we only know the general idea of your actions this time, but we do not know the details. Otherwise, the official would not have let two or three fires break out in the city, let the granaries catch fire, and there would be no need for the army to lurk outside the city and wait. ”

"You...... You're trying to take down all of our people in the city? ”

"Not only Gaoling City, but the entire Feng Yi Mansion must be cleaned. Seriously, this official and the Feng Yi Mansion really need to thank you, if it weren't for your actions, how could we take down these bastards with blood on their hands reasonably? Get rid of them, and our Zhao Kingdom can be considered to be completely in control of here. ”

"Of course, in addition, we must also publicize the actions of your Han army, so that the big gentry and big businessmen from all over Xiyong Prefecture can re-understand your Han army, and see how the Han army treats their allies."

Zhang Yuan was already paralyzed on the ground in despair at this moment, no matter what Liu Wenqi said, he had no intention of refutating it. It seems that it is hard to believe this failure.

Seeing this, Liu Wenqi also ignored it, through the previous confrontation, he had already learned some news from Zhang Yuan's mouth that he had not yet found out, and now through this information, the people of the Flying Eagle Guard have begun to send people down to investigate thoroughly. In addition, Liu Wenqi also told the officials in the hall the truth about the encirclement and suppression operation.

Half an hour later, a bloody officer hurried in. Judging from the smile on their faces, they must have been very satisfied with their actions. It can be seen from the standard configuration of the small sword on his shoulder that this officer is a lieutenant of the Zhao army.

"Hu Duwei, how do you describe it? Did the thief who set fire to the granary take it? Liu Wenqi asked in a deep voice.

Hu Duwei said with a smile: "Returning to my lordship, according to my lord's orders, we have surrounded and suppressed all the more than 300 people who acted in the granary, the treasury and the official yamen in the city. Because they fought to the death, the last general failed to capture them. As he spoke, he asked the soldiers waiting outside to bring him in.

"General Luo!" Zhang Yuan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but cry out sadly after looking at the head in the hand of Sergeant Zhao.

"What about the others? Where did these 300 come from, and have you found out? After Liu Wenqi glanced at the head in the soldier's hand, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"The three major clans in the west of the city have all been besieged by our army, waiting for the disposal of the adults!"

Liu Wenqi said to an official beside him: "Lord Lin, you are a judicial member of the army, and you are in charge of local justice, so what crime should you be guilty of colluding with foreign enemies and committing chaos?" ”

"Collusion with foreign enemies, committing rebellion, unforgivable crimes, punishing the nine clans!" The cold voice suddenly spread throughout the hall, echoing in everyone's ears, especially the dozen or so big clan heads, who trembled when they heard the words.

Liu Wenqi nodded, glanced at the remaining dozen or so big clan heads with a cold face, and said coldly: "Look at it, you don't want to stay at home and enjoy the happiness, you have to make some trouble, you have to be hostile to my Da Zhao." Before you do such things, you should think about the results of today. Man, greed is not enough, there is no good result. ”

"Spare your life! Spare your life! …… The little ones are willing to dedicate all their family wealth to the government and ask the adults to forgive the villains once! The little ones will never dare again! We did this because of the persecution of the Han army officers, you know, this Gaoling City was the Han army in charge in the past. Listening to what Liu Wenqi said, the remaining family heads immediately began to beg desperately for mercy, with all kinds of reasons coming up one after another, and shifting the blame to others to show their innocence.

Liu Wenqi said coldly: "Dedicate all your family wealth to us? Amusing! After you punish the Nine Clans, we will receive more wealth than you have contributed yourself. Why, then, should we forgive? The Han army is in charge of the city, and you are forced, but after my Da Zhao entered the city, why didn't you tell us? His heart can be punished! Knowing that there are people rebelling in the city, you not only did not help us, but joined them, and such acts are unforgivable! ”

"Although almost none of you are the main culprits, they are all used by Han army officers. However, colluding with foreign enemies and conspiring to rebel is also an unforgivable crime! If you just don't know about it, you won't be guilty of punishment, but you big clans, all of them are beheaded and confiscated from all your property. ”

As soon as they heard what Liu Wenqi said, these family heads suddenly fell to the ground, and some people cried and begged Liu Wenqi for mercy. However, Liu Wenqi was unmoved. It is more beneficial for the city to get rid of these big clans, and it is more beneficial for the Zhao army to govern the place. Even if there is no such incident, it is ready to find a way to get rid of them. How can their pleas for mercy be forgiven by Liu Wenqi? Their current situation is what Liu Wenqi and Zhao Xun want to see the most.

Seeing that these heads of big families who used to be high and thought they were superior kept crying like children at the moment, Liu Wenqi couldn't help frowning. At the moment, he shouted with a cold face: "Come on, why don't you hurry up and escort these rebels down, together with their families, tomorrow morning, they will be escorted to the entrance of the school in the north of the city, and beheaded to show the public!" ”

Sergeant Zhao, who received the order, immediately stepped forward, and without saying anything, he escorted these big clan heads and dragged them out directly like a dead dog. Waiting with their families, beheading in the coming days.

The night of terror finally ended with the rebellious army in the city being taken down one by one. In addition to the people in the city being a little worried, the big people in the city are even more worried. Although they didn't know what was happening in the city, around their mansion, there were Zhao Jun's brigades appearing back and forth and stationed around. The system implemented by Zhao Jun is indeed good, but relatively speaking, the root of the system is still more beneficial to ordinary people, followed by merchants, and finally large landlords and those who have countless fertile land.

How can they not be worried that there is a disturbance in the city at night? Although Zhao Jun can pacify the rebels, who knows if Zhao Jun will take this opportunity to get rid of them?

It wasn't until the second half of the night that the soldiers of the Zhao army of the brigade smashed open the mansions of some big clans, arrested all the people in them, and then the whole city gradually quieted down, and these big clans relaxed a little. Of course, it was only a little relaxed, but I was still very worried.

On the morning of the second day, Liu Wenqi summoned the wealthy families in the city to the north of the city, and even the people in the city also gathered in the north of the city. Because the soldiers of the Zhao army have already reported in the city, they want to deal with the people who are in trouble in the city.

More than 10,000 people gathered in the school field, you know, this was originally the place where the army was stationed. However, now that most of the troops in the city are in other places, the entire school field has also been vacated, and it has become a place for Liu Wenqi to deal with criminals.

Liu Wenqi asked people to describe the behavior of these big clans in the city in public, and in addition, he also listed in detail all the illegal acts they had done in the past. If Liu Wenqi told the story of their collusion with foreign enemies and conspiracy last night, which made these people a little dissatisfied, then telling them all about what they did in the past would make all the people hate them to the core.

In the past, these big clans relied on this family to be officials in the Han army, but they crisscrossed the countryside and brought disaster to the people. And the ordinary people are helpless against them, I don't know how many people have gone bankrupt because of their greed, and have been cornered, or even killed directly by them.

At this moment, Liu Wenqi exposed them one by one, which immediately aroused the indignation of the people in the city and shouted that they would be executed. And the rest of the big clans who were invited by Zhao Jun to watch were also trembling at the moment, with cold sweat on their foreheads. They knew that Liu Wenqi had invited them not to watch Zhao Jun's demonstrations and executions, but to warn them. Although they did not rebel and make trouble, they also had some unclean places, and in addition, many of them were unwilling to cooperate with the Zhao Military Office in accordance with the new policy.

But at this moment, Zhao Jun's people can make it clear what the big clan like them once was, so wouldn't their details also be under Zhao Jun's control? In other words, if they don't cooperate with Zhao Jun's actions in the future, then they will be a role model for these people on stage.

There are more than 500 people from 32 major clans, men, women, and children, all of whom are beheaded in public. The bloody scene not only frightened the onlookers, but also killed the executioner, who was usually murderous.

In addition, the private soldiers, family members, and courtyard guards under the command of these big clans all became prisoners of the Zhao army. Among them, more than 100 people who committed the most heinous crimes were killed.
