Outside the house where Xiao San held private slaves, Yang Ke, Tang Zhong, and Honggu sat on the railing in the teahouse facing the street, and condescendingly saw the situation across the street clearly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The door of the house is open, the ground security and the officials in front of the door are sounding the gong and shouting, so that the passers-by and the people of the capital who have come to visit the capital have come in, and the people who have come out of the courtyard all shake their heads and sigh, and they have been scolding bitterly, and they are bustling for a while, and the river is endless. In the open space facing the door, the servants of Luoyang Mansion are busy building a high Dharma platform, setting up a sun-shading roof above their heads, surrounded by reed mats on three sides, the public case and the Taishi chair are ready, the plaque of honesty and honesty has also been hung up, the hall and the drums are arranged in both compartments, and the side facing the street is unobstructed, very transparent, so that the people can watch. Notices were plastered on the streets and courtyard walls, and some literate people were shaking their heads and reading to passers-by. This notice was posted by Hu He, telling everyone, which roughly means that the Xiao family will be tried here tomorrow, and all the sufferers can come, and there will be revenge, revenge, and the court will reward the whistleblower.

Looking at this scene, Tang Zhong couldn't help but smile and said: "The prince's means are so high, the old man is really admired, Hu He, a thousand-year-old fox, in the hands of the prince, is actually a person who makes the best use of his talents, makes the best use of things, and uses him to deal with the Xiao family, it is really a thing to drop a thing." Just talking about the public trial of the Xiao family, encouraging the people to report and expose, and giving rewards, it makes people applaud. Tomorrow, it seems that the Xiao family will have no chance to turn over, and the Xiao family's century-old prestige will be ruined on these unscrupulous descendants. ”

Yang Ke smiled faintly: "Hu He has been an official in Luoyang for many years, and he is afraid that he will not be angry with these clans for a day or two, and besides, as a local parent official, how can he be deaf and blind, for the news in Luoyang City, I am afraid that nothing can escape his eyes." It's just that he's been pretending to be deaf and dumb. Therefore, as long as he is allowed to worry about the future, he will definitely make the Xiao family irreversible. From then on, he had no way back except to follow us all the way to the dark. Otherwise, it would be impossible for just a few other clans to let him go. Next, the old master can make good friends with him, give Hu He some guidance, and let him stop being confused. ”

Tang Zhong nodded, lowered his voice and said, "I don't know if this knock can make others spit out all the fat in their mouths." ”

Honggu suddenly interjected: "What's so difficult about this, if the other people don't know each other, let this Lord Hu beat all the way over, I'm not afraid that they won't comply." ’

Tang Zhong and Yang Ke looked at each other for a moment, and after a silence, a burst of laughter erupted. Yang Ke pointed at Honggu and said: "That's right, you should let this Lord Hu beat all the way, whoever wants to be dishonest will be beaten until they are honest." ”

Early the next morning, when the sky was still bright, the place where the public trial was already crowded and bustling. Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the public trial of the imperial court officials, not to mention the Xiao family, which is also one of the four famous clans in the world, is a unique grand occasion. In the minds of the people of Luoyang, Kyoto, the Xiao family is a powerful power that dares to be angry and dare not speak, and there are not a few people who have suffered from it over the years, but the Xiao family is a dignitary in the court, and Xiao San's thugs are rampant in the market of Luoyang, Kyoto. In the popular words of later generations, it is a wealthy family that eats both black and white. Today, I can finally witness their downfall in broad daylight, and if nothing else, just watching it can make people feel refreshed. There are also many bitter and bitter people who have been coming to occupy the place since midnight, just waiting for the next morning to be able to take the stage to express their grievances and have a bloody vengeance. Therefore, what was originally just a public trial meeting of corrupt officials and powerful officials turned into a grand event comparable to the New Year's Festival in Luoyang City, and some shrewd small businessmen even brought all kinds of food, needles, threads and other groceries to sell along the street.

The whole public trial conference was the same as Yang Ke expected, quite a bit of the taste of fighting the landlords and bullies in later generations, at first those bitter masters were still cowering and did not dare to come to the stage, when the first person ate this crab, the bitter masters behind were angry, and even surging, wave after wave to the stage, it can be said that the words are bitter, and they are bloody, tears and hatred. Hu He was still a little worried at first, afraid that these Shengdou people would not dare to be this up-and-coming bird, or they were forced to worry about the obscenity of the Xiao family and his son for many years, after all, reporting and exposing and fighting heroes in public was an unprecedented feat in that era. What I didn't expect was that once the masses were mobilized, the momentum was simply amazing, from morning to night, and there were still people waiting in the back to line up to come to the stage to avenge their grievances. The enthusiasm of the onlookers did not diminish in the slightest, and after standing for a full day, more and more people gathered, and even more, some people began to shout Hu Qingtian's slogan.

Seeing that the whole fire was in place, and it was getting late, Hu He stood up from behind the official case, walked to the front of the stage, and bowed deeply to the people in front of him. The officials shouted in unison: "Be quiet, be quiet, Master Hu has something to say." ”

After a period of chaos, the surging passion gradually calmed down, and the people stopped the hustle and bustle, and the field became gradually quiet, until the crows were silent, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Hu He on the stage in a daze.

"Fellow villagers, old and old, for the old and young masters. I, Hu He, am the Luoyang Order, and I can only get rid of this scourge for everyone today, and I am really ashamed of the big guy. Hu He said this, cleared his throat, and paused slightly. He actually deliberately prepared last night, and when he talked to the people, of course, he couldn't use a scholarly tone, but he should use the vernacular that they could understand and were willing to listen to, so that there would be an encouraging effect. Seeing the crowd in the audience, but everyone's expressions were concentrated, Hu He was very satisfied, his passion was surging, and he was arrogant, as a good official who eliminated harm for the people, it felt so cool to be supported by the people. Hu He cheered up and continued: "Someone said just now that I am Qingtian, but in fact, this official just did what he should do. As an official, he should benefit Sangzi. But the big guy may not know that the real blue sky is not me Hu He, but when today's son, long live my emperor, the emperor is the real love of the people. Over the years, Banzai has been deceived by these traitors and heroes of the Xiao family, they have violated the law of the country, privately stored slaves, disregarded people's lives, bullied their neighbors, *** women, seized people's homes, fornicated bandits and aliens, it is really heinous, if it is not for the long live holy candle, it will be clear to see thousands of miles. We are still in the dark by these traitors who deceive the world and steal their reputations. Long live today made a holy word, not only to punish the Xiao family, but also to abolish private slaves, to crack down on the heroism of the common people, and to give the big guy a peaceful world, bright and prosperous. If you want to thank the big guy, you should thank you today, long live my emperor..........."

At this moment, the lights in Yang's mansion were bright, Tang Zhong and Yang Ke were sitting in the hall, and the officials were busy shuttling non-stop, counting the piles of account books, Yang Ke said to Tang Zhong: "Old master, next, this important matter of counting the acres of land and dismantling the private slaves can be entrusted to you." The fire that Hu He put tonight will not come out of Xunyue, and it will surely burn all over the world. The other three clans were moved by the wind and had already taken the lead in handing over the surrender table, and the private slave household registrations they handed over were all here. Next, I want to do this big thing within this year. The old master of Donghai County doesn't have to go back, this king still wants to invite you to sit in the center. ’

Tang Zhong smiled faintly: "Don't worry, the prince has to follow the pole to fight the snake, and within this year, I will definitely accomplish this big thing." I'd like to ask you for someone, though. ”

Yang Ke asked, "Isn't the old master a general?" I guess it's Hu He, the old fox, right? ”

Not necessarily, the two looked at each other and smiled. The officials in the hall were still checking each other's heads in the account books by candlelight, and it was a busy scene.
