Chapter One Hundred and One: Beheading
At the front of the road, the two most important figures of the Fang family in Dingzhou are locked in two rooms, Fang Wenshan, the original Zhizhou Fang Wenshan and his brother Fang Wenhai, Fang Wenshan lives in one alone, and Fang Wenhai and his son Fang Jiahao share a room, and a smaller cell next to it imprisons the important people involved in this matter.
Fang Wenhai's father and son were close to collapse, the screams that came from time to time in the Yongdao these days frightened them, Fang Wenshan, who originally thought they were relying on, was living next to them at the moment, so that their original luck was already gone, and in terms of what they had committed, they could be killed hundreds of times. Fang Wenhai, who was disheveled, sat tightly against the wall, his hands subconsciously groping in the grass under him, and when he heard the door being opened, he only subconsciously raised his head, glanced at everyone, and then went back and forth without knowing what he was touching.
In comparison, Fang Wenshan was much calmer, although he had been locked up for many days, he was neatly dressed, his hair was meticulously combed, except that his face was a little pale, he couldn't see anything unusual, at this time, he was sitting cross-legged in the center of the cell. After all, he used to be the governor of a state, and Qingfeng didn't give him any hardship, and he was very happy, but whenever Qingfeng asked about the Dingzhou Fang family, he knew everything and said everything, but when it came to his own family, he would never speak.
Li Qing stepped into the cell, looked at Fang Wenshan for a moment, and sighed in his heart, once upon a time, he had to respectfully call this person an adult, he could determine his life and death with a word, but in just two years, the time has changed, the identity between the two has been reversed, and the gap is even greater, he is already the lord of Dingzhou, and he has become a prisoner.
"Lord Fang, the imperial court is here." Li Qing looked at him and said lightly. Gonggong Huang coughed heavily and strode to Li Qing's side.
The corners of Fang Wenshan's mouth grinned slightly, "Oh, is it? Then I would like to congratulate General Lee on finally getting his wish. I'm in prison now, but I can't give the general a congratulatory gift. ”
Li Qing smiled and said, "No need, your congratulatory gift has already been delivered." ”
Huang Gonggong, who felt despised and insulted, was angry, and the fright he had just received was gone, and he shouted angrily: "Fang Wenshan, you traitor, Ben Qin sent here, you still don't get up and kneel to greet you, do you want to die?" ”
Fang Wenshan smiled: "Qincha? Shall I not die if I rise up to meet him? You don't have to put up a shelf in front of me, Fang Mou has seen not a hundred, but also eighty, what are you? ”
Huang Gonggong was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the second Buddha came out of the ground, "You traitor who should be killed, cough cough ......."
"Gonggong Huang, you don't have to be angry with a dying person, but read the holy decree!" Li Qingdao: "After finishing the mission, I will prepare a banquet and drink with Huang Gonggong?" ”
Only then did Gonggong Huang turn his anger into joy, took the holy decree from the hand of his entourage, unfolded it awkwardly, and glanced at the calm Fang Wenshan suspiciously, at this time, Fang Wenhai and Fang Jiahao were also brought out of the cell next to them.
Fang Wenshan hanged and decided, Fang Wenhai was beheaded, Fang Jiahao was beheaded, and the rest of the Fang family in Dingzhou were demoted to lowly status, and the other accomplices who participated in the sale of pig iron to the grassland were cut off by Qing Yishui, and the family was exiled to the army, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of people fell to the ground from the clouds, fortunately, Dingzhou was originally a border state, and there was no flow, that is, it was resettled on the spot, but the family property was confiscated, and there was no surplus wealth, and because their family members had been enemies, presumably in Dingzhou, a place where everyone was hostile to the barbarians, the future will be very difficult.
Before he could finish listening to the order, Fang Wenhai had already collapsed to the ground, softening into a ball, Fang Jiahao was crying out for injustice, but Fang Wenshan still didn't say a word. Presumably everything was expected by him, Li Qing thought, from the moment the accident happened, Fang Wenshan knew that he must be unlucky, and he had already been mentally prepared, but it was a pity that such a talented guy, if it wasn't for the Fang family's insatiable greed, maybe he wouldn't have fallen to such a point, once something happened, he would be like an abandonment, this is the family?
If one day he said that something happened to him, or he had no value, would Li treat himself like this? Li Qing asked himself in his heart.
Since the sentences were all immediately executed, after reading the holy decree, the Fang family and others were immediately set up out of the cell by the silent black-clothed guards, outside, the officials who were ready to execute were already waiting with the soldiers, the execution ground had already been set up, and the notice had also been issued.
Fang Wenshan and the three of them were put on a prisoner car, and the three of them were treated a little higher, one for each person, and the other dozen or so accomplices were tied to a large prisoner car, and a big crimson hook on the pending sign on the back was dazzling. As soon as he walked on the street, countless rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves flew up, and after walking less than half a street, the prisoner car was already piled up, Fang Wenshan turned his head hard, and let his head come out of the chaotic vegetable leaves, his face was still indifferent. Death, he has long had this realization, but this way of death is too humiliating, presumably the history books will write this stroke heavily, and he became the enemy and was executed as the highest official of Dachu. However, fortunately, there was no mention of his family members who were still in the Fang family in the holy decree, and the sons should be fine, and the head of the family should know that if he did too much and fought back, he would definitely not be able to stand it.
Li Qing looked at the prisoner car that was gradually moving away, and shook his head and said to Huang Gonggong: "Huang Gonggong, you still have to go to prison and beheading, I won't go, there are still a lot of official affairs to deal with, and there is no delay." ”
Huang Gonggong thought that Li Qing would happily go to see the final fate of this enemy who was defeated by him, but he didn't expect to see a trace of excitement on Li Qing's face, and after listening to Li Qing's words, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The handsome man is at his own convenience, alas, I don't like to watch this bloody scene, I can't bear the emperor's life!" ”
"My father-in-law is responsible for his duties, Li Qing admires it very much!"
Wang Qinian and others happily went to see the excitement, but Li Qing made an appointment with Shang Haibo, Lu Dalin, Qingfeng, Lu Yiming and others to return to his general's mansion, and soon, he was going to leave for Luoyang.
"Brother Lu, how is the city being built in the forest now?" Li Qing asked.
Lu Dalin said: "In Shanglin, the barbarians have laid some foundations, so this time we will save a lot of trouble to build again, now we have enough people, complete materials and materials, and the progress is very fast, we should be able to build a bigger and stronger fortified city than Fuyuan this year." ”
"The construction of a fortified city in Shanglin firmly chokes Bayar's throat and puts him in a dilemma, but I think he will not be willing to accept that Shanglin is held by us, so General Lu must pay attention to Bayar's counterattack."
Lu Dalin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dashuai, after Shanglin is held in our hands, Bayar wants to attack us on a large scale, it is estimated that it will not be this year, small-scale disturbance is meaningless, Bayar will not do it, I am afraid that there will be a big battle until next year, but next year, Shanglin Lijian City has been completed, so why should he come?" ”
Li Qing shook his head: "Bayar won't come, because he is a wise person, but other tribes may not be able to say, maybe some tribes may not be able to say it." You are careful. ”
Lu Dalin thought tiredly: "Dashuai is talking about Qingbu and other big tribes!" ”
Qingfeng said: "Dashuai said very reasonably, our spies on the grassland found that after the loss of the upper forest, the barbarians were also disagreeing and held their own opinions, and Bayar failed due to the reuse of Yan Bulu, and his prestige was greatly hit, and now he is almost dormant, and Qingbu is very happy." We've been mobilizing the elite of the headquarters, and we suspect that he has any signs of hitting the forest. ”
"In addition, due to the infighting among the Murwei people, Hu He, the first general of the grassland, has led his wolf army to turn back, it is estimated that in one to two months, Hu He will arrive at Longting, with the return of Hu He, Bayar's strength will rise greatly, which should also attract our attention."
Li Qing nodded and said: "It is very likely that Bayar is now letting himself go, letting these unstable factors jump out on their own, and even secretly instigating the Qingbu to send troops, let us kill the strength of the Qingbu, and when Hu He comes back, I am afraid that he will start a big purge, if this is the case, next year we will face an unprecedentedly united barbarian." Next year's format will be more serious than this year. ”
Lu Dalin also became cautious, he didn't think so far, more than he saw the favorable form in front of him, "Dashuai, is it so serious?" ”
"Everything is foreseen, and if we are not prepared, we will think about defeat before we win, and we will consider all aspects of things well, and try to reduce the possibility of our failure." Li Qingdao.
"The Admiral understands." Lv Da is in the heart of the city service.
"In matters related to intelligence, in addition to your own sentinels, you can also make more contact with the Statistics Division."
"Yes!" Lu Dalin clenched his fists to Qingfeng, "There will be Director Lao." ”
Qingfeng returned the salute with a smile: "General Lu is polite." ”
"The old way!" Li Qing turned to Lu Yiming, "There is a large influx of displaced people in Dingzhou every day, and the resettlement of these people must be careful. ”
"Don't worry, sir!" Now Lu Yiming, who has been promoted to the fifth grade of Tongzhi, has been mixed in the Houfu for many years, and he has not picked up a half-official position, and after following Li Qing for less than two years, he has risen like a rocket, and now he is dead set on Li Qing, not to mention, the future of Li Qing in his eyes is far from this, as long as Li Qing continues to rise, then he will also rise with the tide. He is also no longer interested in competing with Shang Haibo, and now the two of them are both literate and martial, which is already a different path for civil and martial arts, not to mention, in Li Qing's eyes, he is afraid that Shang Haibo's status is much higher than himself.
"These displaced people should be resettled by category, and those who have skills should be given more preferential policies. Those with special skills must be selected, and it is okay to be an official, which is all within your purview. Li Qingdao.
Lu Yiming was a little worried: "Dashuai, according to the current rate of influx of displaced people in Dingzhou, I am afraid that by the end of this year, there will be no surplus land in Dingzhou, what if there are still people coming?" ”
Li Qing smiled without answering, walked to the map of Dingzhou hanging on the wall, and poked his fingers heavily in one place, "Don't be afraid, here, we still have enough land!" ”
"Prairie!" The four people in the room all screamed, and they all looked at each other, it was the territory of the barbarians, and there was a foothold for the Central Plains!
"Build a settlement, we will encroach on their territory little by little."
Li Qing stretched out his hand and flipped through the case for a while, and finally found a picture and beckoned the four of them: "You come and see, this is my idea." ”
