As soon as he heard Yue Su say that there was no chance, Pang Bai was completely paralyzed, and his tears and snot all rolled out, "My lord...... As long as...... As long as you can leave me alive...... You can do whatever I want......"

Judging from the current situation, as long as Yue Su leaves him alone now, or hands him over in the name of appeasing the people, he will be a dead end. The only hope for life is all in this Lord Yue, except for praying, Pang Bai no longer knows what to do.

"You said this, do you really want you to do whatever you want?" Yue Su sneered.

"Yes, yes...... Whatever the adults tell me to do, I do. Pang Bai seemed to grasp the last straw and replied eagerly.

"Well, that's what you said. You should list your crimes to me now in black and white, and then sign them. Yue Su said loudly.

"This ...... This...... My lord...... Can you change the conditions...... "Pang Bai is not a fool, he understands, he has to list his crimes, then he will not end well.

"Do you think you have any other choice?" Yue Su said coldly: "Now that the people's rebellion has taken place, even if this government hands you over to the people, it is also an expedient measure to quell the chaos, and the above will not be punished." Besides, there is ironclad evidence that you have expropriated and extorted money and filled your pockets, and the government has taken the confessions of the people and the confessions of the servants in your yamen, and you can still make a difference. You can do it yourself, this government is still in a hurry, I count three, if you still don't express your position, I will hand you over to the people to dispose of, in order to calm the anger of the people! ”

"One!" Yue Su was not ambiguous, and after saying that, he immediately counted them.

"Two!"

"Your Excellency...... See if you can ......"

"Three!" Yue Su didn't say a word to Pang Bai, as soon as the word 'three' fell, he immediately shouted: "This government will hand over the county order Pang Bai to you for disposal now, how about this explanation?" ”

"Good!" "Thank you, sir!" "My lord, it's really blue!" ……

Hearing Yue Su say this, the people cheered. Pang Bai was dumbfounded, and when he was sent to that group of bitter babas, he was afraid that he would be tortured to death, and he couldn't even save a corpse. He hurriedly shouted, "My lord, my lord...... I'm willing to write a confession......"

"Count you as acquaintances!" Yue Su shouted and said, "Come on, go get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

The errands of the Longquan County Government are now also obedient, and they went to the people's homes to forcibly levy, but now the goal of the people is the county master, but if they are disobedient and thrown to the people by the prefect, they will not still become people's punching bags, and they will be crippled if they do not die.

At that moment, someone immediately volunteered to follow Yue Su's servants to get paper and pens, and moved the table. Yue Su asked Pang Bai to write immediately, but Pang Bai could only bite the bullet and write his confession that he was ordered to be requisitioned and accidentally provoked a popular uprising. Then he presented it to Yue Su tremblingly.

Yue Su glanced at him twice and said angrily, "Is this your crime?" You're very good at avoiding the important! If you say it, the government will admit this testimony, and if you can't say it, you will be able to read it for the rest of your life. ”

"Please ask for an interrogation." Pang Bai said honestly.

"How many households do you govern, how much is enough for each household to make up for the amount of Shiqian Mansion's apportionment, and how much do you levy and transfer in each household, why will the people under your rule have no rice to cook, so that they will starve to death, and then the officials will force the people to rebel and besiege the county government?" Yue Su asked awe-inspiringly.

"This ......" Yue Su's question, Pang Bai couldn't answer a word.

At the beginning, after the Shiqian Mansion issued the apportionment task, he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night, and the next morning he ordered the servants to collect it from house to house, and if there was not much silver, he could use other things to make up the amount. Anyway, this is an order from the government, and I will take care of your life or death. Of course, some of the big families in the house must not be touched, who does not pick up soft persimmons and pinch, the poorer the family, the more honest the handover, the more willing the servants are to come to the door, after the robbery, forgive you and dare not do anything.

"What? Can't answer! Yue Su looked at Pang Bai fiercely, and shouted: "The eight thousand taels of silver in your back house are obviously full of private pockets, and you dare to deceive this mansion?" How are you going to deny the tyrannical expropriation and the misery of the people? Today, the government will hand you over to these desperate people who have been cornered by you, and then take their confessions to the governor's yamen to give an explanation! Drag him out of here! ”

"Slow down, sir...... Slow...... I rewrite ...... I rewrite ......" Pang Bai also saw that if he was not honest and obedient at this time, he would have to be thrown out. I may die if I write it, but it is not hopeless, I may go to the governor and defend it, and it may be possible to turn a big thing into a small thing. As for the confession, it can be said that Yue Su forced him to write it.

"Then you don't write it quickly!"

"Yes, yes......" Pang Bai picked up his pen again and rewrote his confession. The content of this time is to loot excessively, fill your pockets, and the eight thousand taels of silver in the back house are the evidence of the crime. But the starving people were forced to rebel, which was really not expected.

After writing it, he presented it to Yue Su again, and after Yue Su read it, he nodded and said, "It's okay this time, but it's a pity that it's a good word." ”

"Huge man, this mansion will ask you again, where is the grain that Shiqian Mansion asked you to raise?" Yue Su asked again.

"Back to my lord, my county has only raised less than 2,000 stone of grain, and later our prefect said that it is very inconvenient for each county to buy grain separately, and we only need to gather the silver taels and hand them over. The matter of grain and straw was purchased by him. Pang Bai replied truthfully.

"That's good!" Yue Su glanced around, his gaze fell on Li Haoran, and said: "This government will open a warehouse to release grain, and distribute silver taels to help the people, as for the county order Pang Bai, this government has decided to hand over to the governor's yamen, so that he will be punished by the law of the country." How about waiting for this explanation? ”

For the small people, being able to eat enough is the most important thing, followed by disposing of Pang Bai. Now that Yue Su has given them an explanation, most of them have nothing to say. However, a few people also questioned whether the officials would protect each other, and when they dispersed, Pang Bai would be reinstated.

Yue Su's answer to them was very firm, and you will never see Pang Bai again.

After getting this reply, everyone stopped making trouble. At this moment, Yue Su said again: "Under the rule of Longquan County, I am afraid that there are many people who are being exploited like you and can't eat. You can go to other villages and towns to inform you and let everyone go to the county office to receive silver taels and grain. ”

Yue Su knew that it was not enough to just send away the people in front of him, there were still many people who were oppressed, if he only gave them and didn't give it to others, there would definitely be people who would come out to make trouble. The people would have thought that the bird called the call had something to eat.

Hearing Yue Su's words, all the people were grateful, and many people knelt down to kowtow to Yue Su. Yue Su asked everyone to get up, looked at Li Haoran again, and said, "Li Haoran, this mansion has spoken first, and now I have given you an explanation, you have to give an explanation to this mansion too." ”

"Adults do things according to the law, and the people admire, since the adults have fulfilled their promises, I will go with the adults." Li Haoran straightened his waist and strode towards Yue Su.

His younger brother was behind him, and when he saw the eldest brother coming forward, he hurriedly hugged him. cried: "Brother, if you die, how can I live alone, I will go with you." ”

When the people saw this scene, they immediately expressed their attitudes, threatening that Li Haoran was also for everyone, how could he only punish him, if the adults thought of punishment, they would punish the big guy together.

Yue Su smiled and said: "Everyone, be quiet, this mansion is also doing this for the sake of national law, although you are forced to do this helplessly, it is inevitable that there will be villains in the future to follow suit, and it will be a disaster for the world." Therefore, Li Haoran must go with this mansion. If you want to save his life, it is not impossible, so that your family will write down the scene at the time of the forced conquest and the situation of the family after that, and make a testimony, sign and draw it, and present it to the governor of the house, or you may be able to open the net and spare his life. I don't know if you'd like to. ”

"Yes!" "We do!" ……

As soon as everyone heard that there was a way to save it, they agreed one after another.

At that moment, Yue Su detained Li Haoran first, and his brother Li Haoquan had to follow, so Yue Su also detained him. Then he opened the granary, opened the warehouse to store grain, and distributed the eight thousand taels of silver found from Pang Bai's house; On the other side, people set up a table, brought paper and pencils, and asked the people to write testimony, and those who could not write were also written by others.

Under the rule of Longquan County, there were tens of thousands of people who were exploited, some of them could still live at home, and some of them had no rice to cook. Two thousand stone rice is only 300,000 catties, and it is only more than 20 catties on people's heads, and it won't take long to eat, but fortunately, there is still silver, and one person receives five dollars of silver, which is enough for half a year. The people rejoiced and rejoiced. Writing confessions, there are many people who jointly protect Li Haoran, and almost every citizen who comes to receive the silver writes a few sentences and signs them.

After two busy days in Longquan, everything came to an end, Yue Su cleaned up the complaint, and there were two sacks of pleadings, with a total of 10,000 signatures, which was called 10,000 signatures. With Pang Bai, Li Haoran, and Li Haoquan on the three of them, and with 16,000 taels of silver from the county government, Yue Su set off again.

A few days later, I came to Shiqian Mansion. Yue Su wrote a letter and asked people to submit it to the prefect's yamen, explaining what happened in Longquan County, and a copy of Pang Bai's handwritten confession, and sending 16,000 taels of silver. But he didn't hand Pang Bai over to him, but only said that he would personally escort him to the governor's yamen, after all, the case was handled by Yue Su, and it was inconvenient to handle others. Finally, the prefect of Shiqian was invited to go on the road together and go to Guiyang to deliver food.

After seeing Yue Su's official document, Chu Hao, the prefect of Shiqian, immediately wrote a letter back to Yue Su, which probably meant that he was grateful to Yue Su for helping to quell the chaos. As for the matter of going to Guiyang, it was recently said that I was ill and it was difficult to travel far, so I asked the Shiqian garrison to escort the food and salary, and go with the adults.

The reason why Chu Hao didn't go to Guiyang with Yue Su was because he recently got the news that Zhang Yanfang's army, who was confronting An Bangyan in Longli, was defeated, collapsed on all fronts, and was fleeing to Guiyang. Now when you go to Guiyang, you are likely to bump into An Bangyan's people, and the danger factor is too great.

Where did Yue Su know about this, he received a reply, and then said that he had gathered Shiqian garrison Lu Zheng, and 2,000 men and horses, and the army was combined into one place, carrying the grain and salary of the two prefectures, and marched towards Guizhou.
