Xu Gang also learned the whole thing from Meng Changqing. It turned out that more than a month ago, Dingzhou officials came to collect taxes, and because of the sudden tax increase, there was a dispute with the barbarians, and the tax collector injured a barbarian man, which caused the dissatisfaction of the entire Dingzhou barbarians!

Because of this incident, the barbarian leader Qidi took the opportunity to gather thousands of barbarian soldiers and bloody the Dingzhou Yamen! The remaining seventeen fetters responded one after another, captured the state city one after another, and took the beggar brother as the leader, the barbarian soldiers instantly increased to tens of thousands, for a time, the barbarian army was mighty, and the confidence of the leader beggar brother suddenly burst, and the idea of occupying the land for the king was born, so the siege of Luzhou City was launched!

In the face of tens of thousands of barbarian troops besieging the city, the original Luzhou Zhizhou was suddenly frightened, seeing the barbarian army besieging Sanque one, he actually couldn't even understand this simple strategy of wanting to capture the old man, thinking that the other party's troops were insufficient, so he abandoned the city at night and fled, and finally ended up dead without a corpse.

Li Tongju actually wanted to run, but when he saw Lord Zhizhou being hung on the head of the city, he didn't dare to run! Fortunately, the Ning Yuan army stationed in Luzhou arrived in time and repelled the barbarian army, and the siege of Luzhou was relieved.

The Luzhou garrison is a forbidden army of the imperial court, and it looks down on these barbarian miscellaneous soldiers of the temporary organization, especially the garrison commanders are overjoyed when they see the barbarian army collapse at a touch, and they are immediately overjoyed, and they personally lead the army to chase into the mountains, but unexpectedly, the defeat and retreat of the barbarian army is a strategy, and the mountains are traps and ambushes, and the garrison commanders are also tragically killed traps, and the whole army suffers heavy casualties!

But fortunately, after the siege of Luzhou City was lifted, Li Tongju sent the military affection out, otherwise with the military strength of Luzhou City, it is estimated that he would not be able to wait for Xu Gang to take office, and he would have fallen into the hands of the barbarians.

So, after Meng Changqing and others were transferred to Luzhou, because of the limited troops, they could only defend the state city and the three county seats, and the barbarian army would come to attack the city from time to time, so the people in the city became restless, coupled with the ineffective handling of the government, resulting in thieves in the city, and the people were panicked!

Therefore, after Xu Gang understood the situation, he decided to start from rectifying officials, balancing prices, and stabilizing people's hearts. And the most important thing is to fight crime and return peace to the people in the city first!

Therefore, Luzhou City tonight is destined not to be peaceful......

The sound of chasing, screaming, and screaming! Soldiers patrolled the streets of the city, and if any of the people came out to see the excitement, they would order them to go back, not to go out at will, but to stay at home until dawn was announced.

Some hooligans, thieves and thieves will certainly not be so obedient, the Dingzhou barbarians plundered all directions, making people panic, and even the Lord Zhizhou was killed, and now it is the time for them to fish in troubled waters.

However, Meng Changqing's soldiers were extremely strict, and anyone who dared to enter another house at night to rob property was all caught and cut off their arms, and those who burglarized cut off one finger, and then tied them all up and threw them in front of the entrance of the vegetable market in the south of the city! And whoever rapes a woman will be punished by the palace.

Early the next morning, the soldiers went door to door to open the doors of the people's houses, so that everyone gathered at the entrance of the vegetable market!

There is a wide platform in front of the entrance of the vegetable market, without any shelter, there are mountains of arms and fingers in front, and people lying on the ground behind them are constantly moaning, but they don't dare to be too loud! All of them were very tightly tied, some had no arms, some had no fingers, and some had blood under their crotches......

When the people saw it, they all gasped, and even some of the more timid ones were already scared to vomit!

There was a wooden sign erected on the side of the platform, and a big notice was posted on it!

"Lao Zhang, what is written on this notice? What the hell are these people doing? An illiterate middle-aged man pulled his friend next to him and asked.

"The notice said that these were the people who burglarized and robbed last night. There are even those who rape women, you see those who have blood under their crotch! ”

"Oh? Are they ......?"

"Yes, the new Lord Zhizhou has given an order, all thieves will have their fingers cut off, robbers will have their arms cut off, and those who rape women will have their lives cut off!"

"Good! Well done Lord Zhizhou! ”

"These villains should be killed, Lord Zhizhou is too merciful!"

"Those profiteers should be punished as well!"

……

As soon as the voice of this person named Lao Zhang fell, the crowd erupted in applause. During this time, the people have been harmed by these hooligans and gangsters, and the people are not very angry!

The profiteer standing in the crowd suddenly chuckled in his heart, this Xinzhizhou is too violent, right? Will he deal with himself? Hmph, I'm not afraid to deal with me, my things, I can sell as much as I want, he can't control it!

"Lord Zhizhou has arrived! …… Let's let, let let's! ”

"Whoop!! There was an uproar in the crowd, starting from the periphery, the people consciously moved out of the way, and the people on both sides of the road stretched their necks to look at Xu Gang, all wanting to know what this new governor was like!

"Wow, that's so young!"

"Of course you're young, don't you know, this is this year's champion, even in the middle of the three yuan!"

"I heard that we haven't married yet!"

"Really? Is it? ”

……

Xu Gang walked in the crowd, listening to everyone's discussions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. But overall, the first thing I did was not wrong!

Li Desheng and the others who were following Xu Gang looked at Xu Gang with awe in their eyes at this time!

The people talked to each other, and soon everyone knew that the newly appointed Lord Zhizhou was coming, so everyone stared at him intently! Xu Gang walked onto the platform, stood not far from those broken arms and fingers, and pressed his hand towards the people below, and the entrance of the vegetable market suddenly became silent, since he wanted to speak, when he saw the stump and broken arm beside Xu Gang, he also quickly covered his mouth.

"Folks, this official is Xu Gang, the new governor of Luzhou, these people who were tied up behind me, the thieves and bullies caught in just one night!" When Xu Gang spoke, he used internal forces to help, and his voice spread far away, and it was sonorous and powerful, and there was a trace of anger in his tone.

Xu Gang pointed behind him and took a thick pile of rice paper sent by the servant, which was densely filled with words. He raised it high and trembled, and said sternly: "This is their confession of guilt!" I would like to ask you again, is there anyone who is not convinced? ”

The thieves did not dare to say anything!

"Hmph, the "Thieves Heavy Law" has a stipulation, all robbers should die!" After saying that, Xu Gang gave a fist salute to the northeast side again, and continued: "But the Son of Heaven is benevolent, and he is worried that the parents and officials of various states and counties will be careless about people's lives, so all death sentences must be reported and reviewed layer by layer before they can be executed, otherwise they will already fall to the ground!" ”

The thieves were immediately frightened when they heard this, and some of them even forgot the pain on their bodies for the time being!

"Now that the barbarians have rebelled and the soldiers are coming to the city, if you have nothing to do, you can go up to the city wall to resist the enemy, and you can stay forever after death, but what have you done? Oppress your compatriots! In the end, Xu Gang said that it was no different from a roar!

After finishing speaking, Xu Gang walked to the front of the stage again, looked at the people in the audience, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, this official does not want to have any more oppressive things against compatriots, including some ...... that disrupt prices and make money."

Most of the people are happy at the moment, and of course, a small number of people are already looking at Xu Gang with hatred! (To be continued.) )
