Chapter 343: Tupo Attacked
To Shanyue County, Peng County.
Outside the city, the high platform made of loess, surrounded by ragged people, Jiang Long sat behind the public case, looked up at the scorching sun that day, the hour had come, picked up the order and threw it vigorously, his face was majestic, and his mouth let out a loud shout in vain, "Cut!" ”
Several executioners, with their upper bodies naked, raised their ghost-headed knives in the air.
Burst!
The cold light flashed, and the five blood-stained heads rolled and rolled.
One of them was not dead, his eyes were wide-eyed, and his pupils were filled with extreme horror.
"Good!"
"Good kill!"
The people who had dishes under the stage shouted and waved their arms, and the crowd was indignant.
Jiang Long stood up, his gaze slowly sweeping over the faces of these people. The five beheaded people were officials who were ordered to escort and distribute the Zhenji grain, but less than 2,000 quintals of grain were originally scheduled to be transported here.
Moreover, these 2,000 quintals were also privately transported home by two Peng County officials for 500 quintals.
With such officials, how can the people not rebel?
The ground outside the city was bare, and even the grass roots had been dug up and eaten, and these people had no way to live. However, the state had the largest rebellion, and several armies repeatedly came to pacify it. But not long after the pacification, there were people who pulled the flag and rebelled.
Isn't it because there is no food, so I can't live anymore?
Ten days ago, the imperial court issued an official document to Lingtong County, ordering Jiang Long to be the Qincha and ordered to inspect the distribution of disaster relief food and wages in the prefecture. Jiang Long took Tudu, Qin Yu, Gunty Buck with makeup, Fan Ren, the eldest of the Qi family and the third eldest of the Qi family, and rode on the snow field to set off quietly, and went straight to Zhizhou.
First, he secretly investigated, and then asked for a holy decree to take decisive action, and took down Chen Bing, the head of Shanyue County's household Cao, Fang Ren, the head of Bingcao, Guo Huai, the inspection department, Peng Wanggao, the county commander of Peng County, and Xu Liang, the county magistrate.
The evidence is conclusive, and the evidence is ironclad!
Jiang Long, who is a Qin cha, can even cut first and then play at this moment, so he directly did not hesitate to put the five people to death.
In mid-May, the midday sun was already a little poisonous.
At this time, the sowing season has long passed, but in Peng County, there are few places where crops are grown. Although the strength of the imperial court to revitalize the disaster is very great, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, secretly withholding the revitalization of food, and treating the life and death of the people as nothing.
If this continues, the ranks of rebellions will only increase.
Jiang Long's ability is limited, there is no way to conjure food out of thin air, the only thing he can do for the people is to kill a few corrupt officials, raid the homes of corrupt officials, and search out food, gold and silver to distribute to the people. At this moment, there was a faint cry from the audience.
The weeping people were all family members of officials and were brought in to watch the execution.
Although he raided the homes of corrupt officials, Jiang Long did not sentence these people, after all, he came from a previous life and still did not want to harm his family. After letting them watch the execution, and distributing some food and silver, he let them go.
They must not be able to stay in Zhizhou, otherwise the people are not as merciful as Jiang Long, and they will definitely not spare them. Without the status of an official family, it is equivalent to having no reliance, and there is no longer a score, so it can be said that staying will definitely only be bullied.
The family of five people is male and female, old and young, there is not much food and money, and in many places there are bandits who occupy the mountains and are unscrupulous.
There were no people to deal with the families of these officials.
Because Jiang Long sent people to pile up all the confiscated grain and money in the open space of the high platform.
Jiang Long waited for those people to go far enough before waving his hand and signaling the servants of Peng County to distribute Zhenji food to the people one by one. The people all lined up honestly, including the elderly and children, and they were distributed completely according to the head.
Even if it is held in the arms of his mother, there is a share.
Peng County was also hit by military disasters last year and this year, and its population was less than 10,000, so the food that came from the raid was enough for each person to get more than a load of grain, and there was also a lot of gold and silver. Naturally, all the gold and silver belonged to the officials' families.
For what kind of food is so much?
The reason is very simple, the officials report according to the number of people who have not suffered from the war before, and they are more greedy if they allocate more food.
A load of food is a lot, and it can be eaten for a while.
But there is no harvest when the problem is, just waiting for the imperial court to shake the disaster, who knows when the next disaster relief grain will be delivered?
Almost all of the grain is mixed with gravel and sand, but fortunately, the proportion is not high.
Jiang Long thought for a while and said: "This official is in Lingtong County, and now Lingtong County has a lot of food, if anyone is willing to go over, they can leave immediately, and as long as they do things there, they can eat their stomachs, and they will not be affected by the war." ”
I don't know what the top of the road is considering, or I forgot, I didn't take off Jiang Long's position as the county commander.
So Jianglong is still the county order of Lingtong County.
Lingtong County has long accumulated a large amount of grain, this year and planted 200,000 acres of potatoes and sweet potatoes, the yield of both crops per mu is more than 2,000 catties, nearly 3,000 catties, a person eats two catties of grain a day, a year down in about 730 catties, that is to say, one acre of land can almost feed four people.
200,000 acres of land can feed nearly 800,000 people.
And this is in the case of being full, if you are half-full, you can feed more people.
Therefore, Jianglong is not afraid of more people pouring into Lingtong County. By the time next year passes, the year after will be able to grow a larger area of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
After Jiang Long dealt with the affairs of Peng County, handed over the government affairs of the county government to the heads of several houses, and left.
Then began his journey to kill the officer.
It's really not killing and not knowing the way, and being scared when you kill.
Basically, in Zhizhou, as long as they hold a certain amount of power, they are corrupt, and they secretly deduct the Zhenji food and salary allocated by the imperial court. Jiang Long was unrelenting, seeing one kill another, it was really too miserable for the people.
Many people starved to death with their families.
As for the cannibalism of Yi Zi, although Jiang Long did not see it with his own eyes, he also heard about it.
Under Jiang Long's ruthless butcher's knife, the officials were terrified, and the situation in Zhizhou was actually improved. However, as the situation here improved, the imperial court, which was already short of food, changed its strategy and no longer sent a large amount of disaster relief grain to and fro.
After all, the amount of food in the hands of the imperial court is limited, and where there is an emergency, it will be saved first.
For this, Jiang Long was also helpless, so he could only speak in the county seat he was passing by, and whoever wanted to go to Lingtong County would leave as soon as possible.
If there is no food, it will be allocated in time, and after a period of calm, it will definitely be a more violent storm.
As we enter June, the weather is even hotter.
Jiang Long held a spear in his hand, riding the snow field on the dirt road between the hills, the snow field now has to carry dozens of catties of grain in addition to carrying the master, can not run too fast, otherwise he will not be able to return to Lingtong County in a short time, don't make the snow field tired of a problem.
Qin Yu, Tu Du, Gunty Bak, Fan Ren, who covered their faces, and the two Qi brothers with weapons in their hands followed.
Now that the road is not smooth, it is safer to carry a weapon at all times.
The crowd had just climbed a low slope when suddenly, a rain of arrows came from ahead.
Whoosh, the arrow flew extremely fast in mid-air, indicating that the quality of the bow was very good, otherwise it would not be able to shoot with such great force, and the tail feathers brought out a series of scurrying sounds.
Suddenly attacked, Jiang Long was not flustered, and splashed the impermeable feng shui of the spear dance in his hand.
He went on a killing spree in Zhizhou and cut down so many officials, as long as anyone dared to attack Zhenji's grain and salary, he would inevitably be sentenced to death. Not only did it erect countless enemies, but it also caused the officials to panic personally. Hearing that Jiang Long was coming up to his own territory, these officials could only take risks and send people to ambush them halfway in order to save Xiang Shang's head.
If Jiang Long doesn't die, they have to die.
It is inevitable that people will die, and naturally let others die.
Jiang Long has been vigilant, so he has been prepared, not only to protect himself, but also to pick up the arrows that shoot at the snowfield. However, he was a little surprised when he felt the force of the arrow hitting the tip of the gun, the strength of this bow was so strong, and the arrow was so heavy.
Dingdingding...... Every time an arrow is picked up, there is a crunch sound.
Qin Yu was also taken care of by the rain of arrows, but after the teaching of the elder sword to him in the past year, he no longer only relied on divine power, and he slammed left and right with a big knife, and no arrow could hurt him. It can also protect the sitting Heirui well.
Tudu, Gunty Bak, and Fan Ren are equally easy to deal with.
Only the two Qi brothers were in a hurry, but they walked behind the most, so there were not many arrows shooting at them, and there would be no danger when they arrived.
After a rain of arrows, dozens of masked men rushed up on horseback.
Before they could get closer, they could feel that there was an iron-blooded killing aura in these people, and they were riding fast horses, but they were able to keep the team in order.
"These people are definitely the elite of the elite division!"
Jiang Long cheered up and rushed over with a spear in his hand.
Qin Yu hurriedly pinched the horse's belly and followed closely.
"Young master, be careful!" Tudu also realized that something was wrong and raised his voice to warn.
Gunty Buck's complexion was too conspicuous, and he kept covering his face and chased after him silently, intending to protect Jiang Long's left flank, and the right flank was handed over to Tudu, who was holding two plate axes.
Fan Ren stopped the two Qi brothers from rushing forward, although the skills of these two were not weak, but they were compared to ordinary people. Each of the masked men in front of him was no worse than the two brothers, and if the two rushed up at this moment, it would be difficult for them to come back alive.
He himself did not step forward, but removed the great bow from his back.
Sou!
Drawing a bow and arrow, the arrow was like a meteor, and in an instant, a masked man grabbed the arrow in his throat and fell off his horse.
Dozens of masked people were a little surprised at the moment, originally they thought that after a rain of arrows, there should be no one on the opposite side who could sit on the horse, but the reality was that none of them shot down. However, they fight on the battlefield all year round, and their psychological quality is excellent.
Without hesitation, he immediately flicked the reins of the horse and rushed up.
The target is directed at Jianglong.
This time it was a death order, and if Jiang Long hadn't died, then they wouldn't have to go back alive.
It was only after the handover that these masked men were surprised again, surprised by Jiang Long's force value.
Night East Palace.
It is rare for the prince not to deal with government affairs before An.
At this time, the crown princess, who had not been in the door for two years, walked in with a pot of tea in person, and saw that the prince was in a troubled mood, and the princess said softly: "If you can't make up your mind about something, it's better to ask your father." ”
The prince shook his head, then sighed.
