As if a big war, as soon as the night fell, 20,000 soldiers in Hanzhong were dispatched, pouring into the counties and towns to begin to arrest the Yang clan who had already been positioned, the Yang clan was too large, so that the torches of the soldiers in the counties were not extinguished all night, and the people did not sleep all night, lying on the window to watch the soldiers who were walking through the street, and those who were dressed in a string of Yang clansmen, although they had a clear conscience, they were also afraid that those tiger and wolf soldiers would suddenly pour into their houses.

It was not until noon the next day that the arrest operation was completed, and more than 4,000 members of the Yang clan were arrested in the southern suburbs of Nanzheng, where they knelt in rows on top of the thick layer of snow, and the leaders of the Yang clan were invited to watch the ceremony.

With the precedent of Jiangzhou, these Yang family members already knew what they were going to face, the fear in their hearts and the coldness of their bodies fused together, and many people's lips were still trembling, but their bodies were already unconscious.

Liu Zhang slowly walked up to the stone platform that was built, and Yan Pu stepped forward and preached loudly: "The Yang family, disobedience and rebellion, Yang Song has brutalized the former Heavenly Master Zhang Xiu, the former Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master, and held the Heavenly Master Zhang Lu hostage to cut Hanzhong, Mu Shounian has the merit of surrendering in Yang Song, and does not want to implicate the old and the young, but the Yang family does not want to restrain himself, has resentment, ambushes the assassin and seeks the state pastor, implicates the friends, has bad intentions, and the heavenly reason is intolerable, and the punishment of the Zhu clan is given. ”

"Your Excellency spares your life."

"My lord spares my life, I don't know about it."

Those children who were about to be frozen shouted loudly with all their might, but Liu Zhangquan didn't hear it, and then Old Man Yang shouted loudly: "Lord Zhou Mu, you said that our Yang family set up an ambush assassin, what evidence do you have?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Zhang's mouth, and he walked down the steps slowly, his eyes swept to the kneeling Yang clansmen in a row, and when he saw Yang Cong, Yang Cong's muscles all over his body tensed together, imagining in his heart what kind of torture would be inflicted if Liu Zhang wanted to interrogate him, and whether he could withstand it, so that his whole body was cold and difficult to breathe.

It was Liu Zhang's glance, Yang Cong already felt that it was the most unbearable torment in the world, and at this moment he completely regretted his impulsive move, and he couldn't imagine why he was stupid enough to provoke Liu Zhang, the butcher.

Liu Zhang's gaze did not stop at Yang Cong, he slowly walked to the side Yang clan leader who was watching, and said aloud to these numb old men: "Ladies and gentlemen, Old Man Yang planned to murder his own official and gather friends, with bad intentions, after you learned about it, early yesterday morning, the group came to report to the county government, Old Man Yang asked for evidence, is there anyone who wants to change his confession now?" Stand up, Officer, and welcome. ”

Liu Zhang had a faint smile on his face, but every word seemed to be full of coldness, these sitting leaders of the Yang clan were only numb to look at all this, listening to Liu Zhang's words, they all looked at Liu Zhang in shock, where did they not know, at this time, as long as someone said the word "no", the head immediately fell to the ground.

This is the second torment in their hearts, the first time they wrote a letter of guarantee, every word is a proof of cannibalism, every word has used up all their strength, originally thought it was all over, but I didn't expect Liu Zhang to ask them to act as a witness to kill them in front of thousands of Yang people who were about to be executed, what is the difference between this and them directly stabbing the knife into those people's bodies?

"Third Master Yang, do you know that Old Man Yang is plotting to assassinate this official with bad intentions?"

"I, I ......" Yang Sanye trembled, his tongue was knotted, and he could hardly say a word, Wei Yan behind Liu Zhang immediately pulled out a quarter of the sword, and the cold light reflected on Yang Sanye's eyes, Yang Sanye said quickly: "Yes, I saw it, it was Old Man Yang who personally told me, Old Man Yang plotted to assassinate the state pastor, the crime cannot be punished, the crime cannot be punished......"

Yang Sanye shouted in a panic, at this time, how could anyone not understand, Liu Zhang never planned to find evidence at all, Old Man Yang's face was completely defeated, and then he realized how worthless his little cleverness, that little dependence, and that set of tricks that the clan played quickly and rotten in front of Liu Zhang.

"What about you?" Liu Zhang said coldly to the other Yang clan leaders.

"The Yang family plotted to assassinate the state pastor, with bad intentions, and the crime cannot be punished."

The clan leaders chimed in, and at this time, they had no choice unless they were willing to risk being punished.

Liu Zhang smiled, and as soon as he waved, a soldier walked up to Old Man Yang with a plate of tall bamboo slips and said, "Old man, do you see it?" This is the testimony against you written by your fellow Yang clan and various important people, do you want to see it before cutting off your head? ”

Old Man Yang was paralyzed on the ground, and he still thinks that it was the assassination he planned that led to the destruction of the entire clan, and compared to life and death, the death of the hundred-year-old clan because of his stupid behavior made him even more heartbroken and desperate.

As soon as Liu Zhang raised his hand, he lifted the bamboo slip plate, and dozens of bamboo slips rolled in front of Old Man Yang.

"Execution."

With Liu Zhang's cold voice, the five hundred soldiers dragged the two hundred Yang people to the big knife, and with Zhang Ren's gesture, the head rolled down, and the blood sank into the snow.

Liu Zhang walked in front of the leaders of the Yang clan and said casually: "From today on, you have to remember that you like to do one thing on the surface, bully the master, and always have a good word, no one can grasp your handle, and no one can say anything about you."

But the official told you that if the official thinks that you have done it, then you have done it, and if anyone is lucky enough to think that as long as he covers up his crime and perfunctory the ruling official, everything will be fine, and he can continue to run amok, you can try. ”

Liu Zhang looked at those old men with their heads down, a faint smile appeared, and he said in a deep voice: "You must raise your heads and watch these thieves fall under the law until the last head is cut off, otherwise, this official will think that you sympathize with the rebellious party, and I believe that you should know the consequences of sympathizing with the rebellious party." ”

The leaders had to look up, but their eyes were red except for the white of the snow.

"Everybody do it for yourself."

Liu Zhang dropped a sentence and walked slowly towards the outside of the execution ground with his entourage, and the clicks of hundreds of big knives falling at the same time in the back merged with the screams and cries, intertwined in the snow and mist.

The king was furious, and the corpse was thousands of miles away.

"Are you going home?" Wang Xu asked Liu Zhang.

"No, go to the barbarian camp."

Shangyong, Shen Tan took the letter of persuasion and read it twice, and slapped it on the table: "How can this be reasonable, Liu Zhang deceived people too much, I have agreed to surrender the whole county, and pay 500,000 stone of grain every year, this is already the limit of what we can do, I also promised to open the garrison, Liu Zhang was especially dissatisfied, and threatened to slaughter the city, must we Shangyong fight with him to the death?" ”

The younger brother Shen Yi picked up the envelope and glanced at it, frowned and said: "For the sake of the family, it is nothing to let my two brothers go to Chengdu to serve, the Shangyong guards and Brazil have changed guards, and all the leaders of the Shen family have moved to Chengdu, which can be reluctantly accepted, as long as our family is here, all this can be exchanged back."

However, Liu Zhang not only issued a land order to us, but also asked our Shen family to sell the land annexed within five years to the government and turn it into official land, so that it would not dig the foundation of our Shen family, the land will shrink greatly, and the land order will be implemented, and we will never be able to restore the glory of the family today, and we will also have our Shen family to bear the construction of a hundred Chengdu workshops, and invest most of the silver money in business, which is too whimsical. ”

Shen Tan slammed his fist on the table: "Liu Zhang, this is persuading us to surrender, this is forcing us to rebel." ”
