Chapter 203: Koreans

Clever schemes to settle the name of the sinner, only to wait for the evening to be punished by the people; In a word, the tax is exempted for three years, which one does not want to be a Korean.

The sudden change made Zhao Hai bitter. Only after carefully identifying and capturing the four people who captured him did they find that the other party was the Qin army sergeant who he had taken in. And three of them were centurions, one of whom was Bai Yuan, who was quite authoritative in the Qin army.

Zhao Hai roared and shouted, "What are you going to do?!" Ungrateful things, are you not afraid that my brothers will cut you with a thousand knives? ”

His threat was like a dying wild dog barking. Bai Yuan only snorted coldly, and then said sharply: "Brother?!" Your third and fourth brothers have been captured by us, and half of the officers and soldiers in the city have become ghosts, and the other half have also been tied up into zongzi! Even your second brother has already been buried alive in the mine by Zhang Situ! ”

Hearing the other party mention Zhang Situ, Zhao Hai suddenly panicked. "Zhang Situ? Are you saying that it was South Korea's Situ Zhangzifang who attacked the mine last night?! ”

The four of them ignored his question, but it was a wordless answer.

Knowing that it was indeed Zhang Liang who came with the troops this time, Zhao Hai was suddenly in chaos. But he still didn't want to stop there. After thinking for a while, he begged the four of them: "I treat you well, why do you treat me like this!" As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to hand over all my net worth, and all the women in this building will belong to you. How is it? ”

Bai Yuan saw that the other party wanted to buy him, and immediately glanced at the other three, and the eyes of the four of them were full of disdain at this time, as if Zhao Hai's proposal was a great insult to them.

"Save your effort, keep your gold and silver for your burial. Don't worry, we won't dispose of you, we will hand you over to Zhang Situ. But I've seen his methods, and all I can say is that I sympathize with you brothers! ”

Bai Yuan's words made Zhao Hai almost desperate. He knew that the other party would not let him go no matter what. But the desire to survive made him unwilling to give up any opportunity, and after a few thoughts, Zhao Hai said to them again: "Don't forget that this official has received the official seal issued by the Korean princess. Everything I did was done with the permission of King Han. Even if it was Zhang Situ, he had no right to ask! So you better let me go quickly, so as not to end up badly afterwards! ”

Coercion, temptation, and intimidation, Zhao Hai can be said to do everything. But everything he did was in vain for Bai Yuan and the three centurions.

"I don't know if you have the permission of King Han, but your second brother also holds the token and documents given by the princess, but he was also punished by Zhang Situ! Therefore, I am afraid that your official seal will not play a role. You better save some effort and wait for Master Zhang to come! ”

Zhao Hai's last hope also came to naught. At this time, he realized that no amount of beauty and gold and silver could be exchanged for his life.

When Bai Yuan and the three centurions escorted Zhao Hai to the city gate, the white flag had already been raised at the head of the city. When Zhang Liang saw that the signal was hung at the head of the city, he immediately approached the city gate with a large army.

As soon as he came to the city, he saw the gates of the city open. Bai Yuan and several centurions were already waiting at the door at this time. As soon as he saw Zhang Liang coming, he immediately saluted and replied: "My lord, all the officers and soldiers in the city have been captured. The culprits Zhao Hai, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang have also been tied up in the city. Adults are invited to enter the city! ”

Everything was as Bai Yuan promised, and in just one night, he solved all the crises in the city. And it didn't hurt any innocents. At this time, Zhang Liang looked at Bai Yuan for a long time and was silent, but he was excited in his heart, because he felt that he had picked up a "treasure".

Bai Yuan and everyone saw that Zhang Liang stopped moving, and did not react to his words. He hurriedly continued: "My lord, please believe us, we are really sincere to serve your lord!" ”

As soon as Zhang Liang heard the other party's excited words, he knew that they mistakenly thought that he doubted them. Then he turned over and dismounted, walked up to the people, and said, "If I do not believe you, how can I let you come back?" You don't have to worry about it, lead the way, I want to see these dogs! ”

Seeing that Zhang Liang did not suspect himself, Bai Yuan and the others were secretly happy. Hearing that Zhang Liang asked them to lead the way, several people hurriedly led the way and took Zhang Liang to Zhao Hai and the others.

At this time, the people in the city had already walked out of their homes, and they were all surprised when they saw the three corrupt officials being captured. But deep down there is an extraordinary excitement and excitement.

When Zhang Liang saw the three people who were tied to the ground, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "You are the county officials of this county?" ”

Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang were already frightened, and when they heard Zhang Liang's inquiry, they quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "My lord, my lord." Don't believe the villain's instigation, we are loyal to King Han and loyal to adults! ”

Hearing the "revenge" of the two, Zhao Hai also tried in vain to use the things given by Princess Han Shu to make a living.

"My lord, Xia Guan once entered the Han capital to meet the king of Han. It's just because King Han is unwell, so he is the lower official received by the princess. The princess was gracious and gave me official seals, tokens, and documents. These are enough to prove the identity of the lower officials. Please be careful! ”

Faced with the three people's complaints, Zhang Liang just snorted coldly, and then asked Zhao Hai, "You went to see my heart?" Then tell me, what are the characteristics of my heart?! It's good to make me believe that you have really been to Handu! ”

Zhao Hai didn't know what his heart meant, but from the literal analysis, he knew that the other party was talking about the princess. Hearing that he asked him to tell the characteristics of the princess, he hurriedly replied: "The princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and her demeanor is myriad. Xia Guan can see the princess Tianyan, it is really a blessing for three lives! ”

After listening to the other party's answer, Zhang Liang casually put on a puzzled look and asked, "Gone?" That's it?! ”

Zhao Hai admits that his description is extremely accurate, and the words of praise are also very appropriate. But when he heard that the other party was still asking questions, his heart suddenly beat a drum.

Zhang Liang saw that he was puzzled, so he reminded himself: "Isn't there a more obvious feature?" ”

Zhao Hai really couldn't think of an answer to Zhang Liang's question, so in desperation, he had to shake his head and reply: "No!" The princess is the body of a daughter, and the lower official just glanced at it in a hurry when he replied, how dare he keep an eye on the princess?! ”

After Zhao Hai finished answering, Zhang Liang showed a sly smile.

In fact, when Zhao Hu said yesterday that his heart and soul Shu'er gave them a token, he was too anxious, so he didn't think about it. After the incident, he suddenly thought that Shu'er was already pregnant with Liujia for more than five months, so naturally he would not show up to meet the minister. Therefore, he expected that the other party must be seeing Bao'er Zhi'er, and only she would meet the official on behalf of Han Shu. Now Zhao Hai's answer has confirmed his inference, and he simply calculated and completely confirmed the charges of deception and forgery to them.

"Where is Zhang Yun?"

Hearing Gongzi call him, Zhang Yun hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Childe, Zhang Yun is here." ”

"You are the commander of the palace guards, you can tell me in front of everyone, what are the obvious characteristics of my princess Xinhe'er."

Zhang Yun had already understood Gongzi's intentions at this time, and saw him take a step forward, and then said sharply to Zhao Hai: "The princess is already pregnant for more than five months. Haven't you seen such a striking feature?! ”

As soon as she heard that the princess was pregnant, Liu Hai's whole person immediately fell on the spot. At this time, he felt dizzy, he had heard that the princess had a happy event in Handu that day, but when he saw the princess, he didn't see it at all. He thought it was a rumor, but he never thought it was the truth. At the moment, he really didn't understand why he couldn't see the obvious feature at all.

As soon as Zhang Liang saw that the other party was dumbfounded, he immediately scolded him: "You dare to lie that you have seen the princess, your crime is not small!" It seems that your so-called official seals, tokens, and documents are also fake! As an official of the imperial court, you dare to privately create a token of the imperial gift, I don't think it's an exaggeration to cut you with a thousand knives, right?! ”

Hearing that everything he had was overturned by the other party, Zhao Hai immediately fell into despair. Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang beside him were even more frightened, and they had no words except for sitting and shivering.

Seeing that the three of them were speechless, Zhang Liang continued: "What crime you have committed, I don't count it, it's better to let the people judge." I have already tried to inform the people of the next village in the county to come to this city to meet you tonight. So that they can have a good time with you. Now, Lao Tzu has seen enough of your faces, you can take a break for a while. After finishing speaking, Zhang Liang ordered someone to bring them all down.

When all the officials and soldiers and the three Zhao brothers led by them were escorted down, the crowd immediately erupted in a tsunami-like cheer, and the people not only clapped their hands but also rushed to tell each other. As if to spread the great news to the end of the world.

Looking at the overjoyed people, Zhang Liang breathed a long sigh of relief. He felt that he had fulfilled his promise, and that all that remained was to repent of his mistakes.

"Zhang Yun, you immediately take someone to the government office, rescue all the arrested women, and then properly settle them. Bai Yuan, you lead people to help the people in the city, store all the oil cans carefully, and never let such a hidden danger endanger everyone's lives! ”

After receiving Zhang Liang's order, Zhang Yun and Bai Yuan hurriedly hugged their fists to receive the order and went down to do something.

When the people saw that the famous Zhang Situ really came to rescue them, they surrounded them and began to cry about their experiences. What's more, he knelt down and bowed down to thank him for saving his life.

Zhang Liang began to comfort the people non-stop, and at the same time helped the kneeling people up one by one, seeing that there were more and more people, he had to step on a high platform, and then shouted loudly: "People, don't worship me." It is my fault that you have suffered so much. But I promise you that there will never again be such a well-dressed beast to plague you. This place belongs to Korea, so I have an obligation to make a good life for you. From today onwards, this county will be exempt from taxes on grain and rice for three years! and all the silver and gold that had been seized were returned to their owners. If there is still a large part, it will also be used for the construction of the county! ”

The concept of tax exemption was unheard of by all of you. Since ancient times, it has been a matter of course to collect taxes and pay grain, but now they can be exempted from taxes and grain for three years, which means that they have three years to recuperate, or even live a good life.

Once again, cheers and cheers rang out from the crowd. Everyone present was happy and proud to be Korean. (To be continued.) )
