Chapter 776: Governance
"Wait, aren't you going to die if you drag someone like this?" Li Yang asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The man who had already mounted the horse turned his head and was about to curse, when he saw Li Yang's big gang of people, his eyes were shining, and his momentum suddenly became half short, and he said, "Don't be nosy, this is a fugitive from my family." ”
"A fugitive from your house? Now there are only fugitives from the Oriental Han Kingdom, who is your family? ”
"You're looking for death! Don't think that a little force dares to talk like this! Don't look at the 20 or so of you, it's useless to double it if you really commit a crime! Immediately, a swarthy man said in a fierce voice.
After saying that, he raised his whip and beat the horse and left, and the man with his hands tied was suddenly pulled to the ground and dragged straight forward.
"Stop!" Li Yang was also angry, although the concept of the legal system here is weak, and most people don't listen to the orders of the government, but this place is close to the fishing village port, which is the gateway to the Han Kingdom in the East, and if he wants to slowly change the country, he has to start here, who knows that there are still people who abuse lynching so unknowingly in broad daylight.
In the blink of an eye, the skilled guards caught up with the four men who were running, knocking them off their horses and restraining them.
"Tell me the ins and outs of the matter." Li Yang sat down under the tree on the side of the road for a long time.
The swarthy man who was caught still wanted to be hard-mouthed, and before he could say anything ruthlessly, he was hit in the lower abdomen by a guard with a punch, and immediately his whole body was bent into a prawn-like shape, and he couldn't speak any bold words.
"Then you can say it." Li Yang pointed to the man who had been beaten.
The man immediately told the story of the matter, he was originally just a lowly slave, since he was liberated, he began to rent the land in the village, that is, the original master's land, and the harvest in the field was not bad after having enthusiasm, and the original slave owner saw that although the slave did not belong to him, he collected more grain, so it did not arouse much backlash.
But since Li Yang's reclamation order was promulgated, the man has been active in cultivating three acres of wasteland by himself, and the harvest last season was also good, but this immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the original slave owner, the eldest master, shouting that this land is also connected to his land, and it also belongs to the tribe, and it stands to reason that it should be under his unified control, so he not only took away the three acres of land, but also robbed the man of all the grain produced by his family.
The unconvinced man naturally wanted to argue, but there was no way to sue him, but even the originally rented field was taken back, and he was beaten and locked under a tree at the entrance of the village, and the old man wanted to starve him to death.
The man who was unwilling to be humiliated escaped, thinking that the only way to sue the emperor was to go to the court, so he waited day and night by the avenue from Miyakojima to the fishing village port.
After listening to the whole incident, before Li Yang could make an evaluation, the swarthy man who gradually eased up snorted coldly and said: "I see that you also have a little power, but don't get involved easily and ruin yourself for a trivial matter, do you know who our master is?" ”
"Oh, I'm interested to know."
The swarthy man glanced around, and when he saw that only Li Yang and his own people were present, he said, "Master Geer, you've always heard of it, right?" He was the first patriarch to support the current lord of Miyakojima, and he also served as an elder of the judicial corps, and although he is now at home, he can talk to the lord. ”
The man was also articulate, concise and threatening, explaining the strength of the person behind him.
When he first entered Miyako Island, in order to control the surrounding forces, he regarded Uncle Wang and these clan elders as elders to judge disputes between various tribes and people, and then with the development of Miyako Island and the improvement of various institutions, this group was naturally abolished. I didn't expect this to be such a person behind it.
To be honest, this matter can be big or small, Li Yang doesn't want to deal with it in one sentence, but there are several points in this matter that touch Li Yang's sore spots: first, the clan is strong, and Li Yang has always wanted to weaken it; Second, the people here are fierce and unruly, and the concept of the legal system must be established; Thirdly, this Arutug seems to be self-contained, abusing lynching, and also touching Li Yang's two basic national policies, the emancipation of slaves and the reclamation order, which is particularly unforgivable.
Although the Oriental Han Kingdom was still a small boat facing wind and waves at this time, Li Yang was confident that this small boat would break through the waves and sail straight to the sea.
Standing up suddenly, Li Yang said coldly to the few people in front of him: "I am Li Yang, I am in charge of your matter." ”
In the stunned eyes of the swarthy men, all this drama came like a dream, making the abuser cold as if falling into an ice cave, and the weak suddenly saw a strong light of hope in the abyss of despair. The joys and sorrows of life are also about the same.
Li Yang, who has never touched the interests of the local tyrants too much in the territory, and adheres to the principle of not competing with the people for profit, is afraid that he will strike hard this time.
Li Yang, who had no intention of going to the fishing village port again, hurriedly returned to Miyako Island with a few people, and Ma Sloppy was called over.
"Interrogate those four men properly, gather evidence, and beware, evidence that is inconsistent with all the orders we have issued." Li Yang commanded lightly, but the cold and murderous aura revealed in his words couldn't help but feel the hairs on his back stand on end.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Recruit all the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department who are still in Miyakojima, although the military intelligence department is still small, but the number is quite large, dozens of spies in the establishment must not be able to do so much work, with the generous activity funds, their subordinates have gathered to attract a large number of helpers. Although there are only two or three spies in China, especially in Miyakojima, there are nearly 100 people in addition to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department.
The four of them were brought to the yamen of the Military Intelligence Department in the middle of Miyako Island, although there was a special torture room here, but the Military Intelligence Department had mostly been external to the outside world in the past, and it really had never received its own people.
Several natives recruited from the Ryukyu barbarians smiled and pulled out the punishment tools one by one, they were originally witch doctors in the tribe, and they were the most skilled at torturing people.
First took out a strange-shaped wooden donkey, it stands to reason that the wooden donkey is used on a man to punish unchaste women, looking at the thick wooden pole on the wooden donkey, the root of the wooden pole also made many small barbs, which makes people feel a chill.
"This man has the hardest mouth, so he'll try it first." Sloppy pointed at the swarthy man.
Immediately, two big men stepped forward and took off the swarthy man's pants, regardless of the man's desperate struggle, and sat down on the wooden donkey with the man in his arms.
A soft sound of "flutter" was followed by a heart-rending scream, the big man let go of his hand, and the swarthy man covered his stomach and screamed, but he didn't dare to stand up.
The screaming continued for a long time, until the swarthy man passed out.
