Chapter 3 Combining Leniency and Fierceness

The evidence of the crime of killing the good people and the traitors was conclusive, and the imperial court decreed that Mrs. Wu Shao was the lady of Chu and ordered her to be in charge of the Huainan provinces, and the conspiracy and plan of the Huang clan collapsed in an instant.

All the big families involved in this matter were arrested, but soon the Lady of Chu State ordered the release of the people.

"If you don't participate in the Liangcun bandit case and collude with the rebels, you don't have to be convicted."

In other words, Mrs. Chu Guo did not pursue the crime of inciting rebellion in Gwangju Mansion, and not only that, Mrs. Chu Guo also ordered that as long as it was verified that there were no two crimes, they could continue to leave Gwangju Mansion.

The panicked hearts of the big families were appeased, especially after seeing the results of the Tian family and the Liao family.

The soldiers and horses of the Gwangju Mansion went to Xuanwudo to track down the Tian family and the Liao family, but before they could get there, the Tian family and the Liao family were tied up and sent back by the soldiers and horses in the place where they moved.

In order to express their sincerity, the local soldiers and horses of Xuanbu Road tied the two families with ropes and strung them together, trekking all the way to Gwangju City, which was more miserable than the homeless beggars, and the gold, silver, treasures and furniture they carried when they left were also pulled by carts, enjoying better treatment than people.

"The reason why the Tian family and the Liao family went to these two places of Xuanwudao was to incite the soldiers and horses in these two places, thinking that we would either send the Zhenwu army to arrest people, or the Zhenwu army would deliberately come here to find trouble, so that it would conflict with the local soldiers and horses, and for the local soldiers and horses, it was also a good opportunity to deal with the Zhenwu army, after all, it was a crime in military law to invade other guards without an order." Form 6 will tell you what happened.

"A true thief can be punished." The prefect scolded angrily.

Li Minglou didn't care: "For them, we are thieves. ”

Of course, you don't have to be polite to the thief.

Zhongliu continued: "After the Tian family and the Liao family arrived, they gave a lot of gifts to the local soldiers and horses, and those soldiers and horses accepted the gifts, but they looked at the people of the Tian family and the Liao family like thieves, lest the Zhenwu army beat them, and when they heard that the Huang family had rebelled, the young lady was named the lady of Chu State, and they immediately tied up and down the Tian family and sent the Liao family back." ”

The officials in the hall laughed.

"Do they think everyone thinks we are thieves in Gwangju?"

"Do they think that everyone can be deceived by them?"

"In this Gwangju Mansion, they rely on their prestige and the trust of the people, and they can incite and manipulate panic and civil unrest, but out of Gwangju Mansion, who takes them seriously."

"Gwangju is their roots, and they want to cut off their roots."

Everyone was talking and laughing, Li Minglou listened for a moment and asked where are the people from the Tian family and the Liao family? The prefect said that he was also locked up in the barracks, and he was locked up with the Huang family, and now he is probably angrily scolding and beating the Huang people.

The government deliberately locked them up with the Huang clansmen, and then the people of these families would cry and scold the Huang family as hard as they could, or because they were really angry, or in order to make the government believe that they were really angry.

This kind of humiliation is worse than the government's questioning, and after a few tosses, the Huang clan's spirit almost collapsed.

Officials can kill people without blood.

Li Minglou said: "If you find out that the two of them are not involved in those two crimes, they will be released, and in addition, we can let the soldiers and horses escort them back to Xuanwudao, and our government can also say hello to the other side, so that the local people don't embarrass them, they are all the people of Great Xia." ”

Changshi sighed: "Madame is kind." ”

There is no need for the prefect to compete with him for this kind of words, but he solemnly responds.

Sure enough, it was quickly found out that the Tian family and the Liao family were indeed not involved in these two things, so they were all released, and their family property was returned in the original amount, telling them that they could go back to Xuanwudao and send troops to escort them.

At that time, the people of the Tian family and the Liao family knelt in front of the palace, indicating that they would not leave the Gwangju Mansion from now on.

The prefect personally helped the old patriarch of the two families and said sincerely: "The pressure exerted on you before was too great, so you will be bewitched by the Huang family, it is really that there are too many displaced people in our Gwangju Mansion, all of them are the people of Great Xia, since they are here, we can't see them helpless, we will think of other ways in the future." ”

The clansmen of the Tian family and the Liao family immediately cried, and the other families also ran to cry, and the people on the street cried and laughed when they watched this scene.

At the same time, the government announced Huang's conviction.

"All the Huang family's property was confiscated, and more than a dozen main criminals led by Mrs. Huang were mad, killing the people and betraying them, and the rest of the Huang clansmen who participated in this matter were charged with criminal service to atone for their sins and punish the former and the latter."

However, not many people cared about this, or applauded, or thought that the punishment was too light, and dozens of truckloads of rice and grain were transported into Gwangju during the hustle and bustle, which shocked all the people.

A unified flag was hung on the grain cart, with the word Yizhou written on it.

They were escorted by soldiers and horses, and a large number of Yizhou merchants accompanied them after the grain team, carrying exquisite goods from Yizhou.

"I heard that Gwangju is a safe and prosperous place, so we have come here to do business." The merchants stood in front of the city gate and said, "I wonder what the rules are here?" ”

The crowd rushed to the front.

"We don't have rules here."

"Are you going to rent a house? I have more than a dozen large houses available in my house. ”

"How do you sell this rice?"

"Do you need someone to carry the unload? I have more than a dozen strong laborers, and I only need to take care of three meals a day. ”

Gwangju City became more lively, soldiers and horses came and went, decapitated and imprisoned, and there was chaos everywhere, but all the people's faces were gone, the closed shops in the streets were reopened, the fields were full of farmers, and the soup kitchens were once again crowded with homeless beggars and idlers.

In addition to the re-prosperity of Gwangju City, the warehouses of the government were also filled with a lot of rice and grain supplies.

"That's embarrassing." The prefect and a group of officials stood in front of the official warehouse with a smile, holding a man in a green robe with a white beard and thanking him again and again, "You also have to feed a lot of people, why are you embarrassed to ask you so many things from the Yizhou government?" ”

The white-faced bearded man said: "My lord is wrong, this is not something from the Yizhou government, this is Mrs. Wu's." ”

Mrs. Wu Shao also has a treasury in Yizhou, which is really an incredible rich person, and the prefect and others were shocked.

The white-faced bearded man smiled slightly: "King Zhao ordered the Zhaowang Mansion to be given to Mrs. Wu Shao, so everything in the Zhaowang Mansion belongs to Mrs. Wu Shao, brick by brick, grass and tree. Old slave, too. ”

This is a eunuch, at that time, King Zhao led everyone to die, and only eunuchs were left in the palace, and the prefect and others were suddenly surprised, so did this eunuch become the head of Yizhou City?

"Thanks to Mrs. Wu Shao for not giving up, the old slave will do his best." The white-faced bearded man said.

The prefect looked at him for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "The angel sent by His Majesty is still in the official office, do you want to see him?" ”

They are all eunuchs, so they should see each other, right?

The white-faced bearded man refused: "The angel is here to announce the decree, the old slave Yizhou people, leaving the local area without permission, it is inconvenient to meet without an edict." ”

......

......

At this time, on the side of the official angel, the generals of the Zhenwu Army from the capital and the generals of the Zhenwu Army from Yizhou City were laughing.

"How is Lao Zhou over there?"

"I heard that the women in Yizhou are all five big and three rough, don't be bullied."

"Our adults are doing very well, there are not only women over there, but the men are also strong, and thousands of strong soldiers have been trained."

Someone looked out, motioned for everyone to stop laughing, and said to the general from Yizhou: "Your eunuch is here." ”

The general of Yizhou glared at them: "Sven." ”

The man put his arm on his shoulder and smiled, "It's going to be Sven." He asked in a low voice, "Why did Lord Zhou choose to oversee Yizhou City?" These eunuchs are more aware of Young Lady Wu, right? ”

The general of Yizhou said: "What do you know, the city management of Yizhou is not good, no one wants to be the master." Pushing the man away, he stepped forward to greet him, leaned over and saluted, and said respectfully, "My lord." ”

The white-faced bearded man nodded, calmly accepted his salute, and said, "Let's go see the young lady." ”
