readx;? Chapter 2: Penny (13)

"He, He Xiufeng......" Ning Ziming's voice came from Chang Si's side, with obvious trembling, but not just because of fear, "The ancestral home has been in Tun and has been farming for generations. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info young scoundrel and wandering around. At the beginning of Tianfu, he went to sell iron tools with people outside the Saiwai and returned to his hometown after making a fortune. bribed the county lieutenant, got the position of the owner of the house, and then was promoted, entered the government, and became the Confucian official of the Assassin's Mansion. In the summer of the fourth year of Tianfu, I saw a beautiful woman on the street, and I had a bad idea. He chased after him and knocked him to the ground, killing him with a broken head. The woman's father and brother entered the county government to shout grievances, and Zhao Xiangru, the assassin at the time, excused him with a ridiculous mistake. He was fined two months, and ordered to close the case with the woman's burial. Before long, the woman's father and brother were killed by masked bandits when they went out. And his family ....."

"Wronged-!" Confucius He Xiufeng knelt on the ground, and defended himself hoarsely, "My lord, the lower official, the lower official compensated the family for five hundred guan, and five hundred guan is good for the flesh." His father and brother also promised at the time not to pursue the matter again. Five hundred pieces of meat is good, and it is enough to marry a ten-room wife, not to mention that his family is a poor family in Luzuo......"

"Come on, take a few valuable things from the seizure just now and give them to the old man!" Chang Si waved his arm and interrupted with a sneer.

"Obey!" the soldiers agreed loudly, and from the loot they had just captured, they took out two belts embedded with gems and several pieces of blood-stained jade jue, and held them in front of Chang Si.

"Give it to him!" Chang Si pointed at He Xiufeng and commanded loudly.

This order, however, everyone present was confused. Including Kong He Xiufeng, who was already scared to pee his pants, he was also holding the "generous gift" in both hands, and he was at a loss.

"Is it worth five hundred?" Chang Si took a deep breath, lowered his head, looked into the eyes of Kong Mu He Xiufeng and asked.

He Xiufeng shuddered when he saw it, and hurriedly put down the reward, kowtowed and thanked him, "It's worth, it's worth, my lord, the subordinate has no size, don't dare, don't dare to ......"

"It's not a reward for you, it's for your dog's life. Chang Si pouted at him and gave an answer with a sneer, "Come on, drag Lao Tzu to the side of the road, and then compensate his family for these things!"

"Wronged-!" Sicang He Xiufeng collapsed to the ground, screaming miserably. But there were no colleagues around who dared to intercede for him. watched him being dragged by Chang Si's cronies into the roadside field and cut off his head with a knife.

"Read on!" Chang Sixian glanced around, and then urged loudly.

"Cavalry general Han Shouye, Li Cheng people ......" Ning Ziming didn't dare to disobey, and continued to grab the next piece of paper. There is another tragic case listed above, involving a civilian under the assassin Shi, a village owner in Lunan, and a cavalry general and a capital head in the regimental training camp. Before he could finish reading the entire indictment, the person whose name was called was already dead. One by one, they fell to their knees and begged for mercy loudly.

The officials and group practitioners glanced sympathetically at the person whose name was called, and invariably moved their bodies away. The sound of blood droplets sliding down the blade was still in my ears, and no one dared to stand with the unlucky ghost whose name was called. No one dared to resist in their hearts.

Chang Si won today, his arm is the hardest, and his words are the rules. Since everyone has lost, they can only be slaughtered!

"When you colluded to destroy people, did you ever think of sparing each other?" Chang Si's voice came from mid-air, cold and unusual.

All the captives shuddered in unison and moved their bodies further. Then he watched Chang Si's personal soldiers rush to his side, drag up the unlucky ghosts who were already paralyzed with fright, drag them to the side of the road like pigs, and kill them all.

On the fifth, sixth, and seventh sheets of paper, the list of cases is similar. It was all a collusion between local tyrants and corrupt officials to seize people's land, wives and daughters, and seek wealth and kill people. After hearing this, Chang Si immediately ordered his cronies to sentence the person involved in the case to death, regardless of how the other party pleaded. In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty bloody heads hung on the big tree on the side of the road, all of them with desperate faces.

"Si Gong joins the army...... "Ning Ziming was a little unbearable before, when he found that almost all the people involved in the case were innocent, a hearty feeling slowly surged in his chest and abdomen, and he didn't wait for Chang Si to urge, grabbed the eighth piece of paper, and read it out loud.

"My lord!" Seeing that nearly a third of the civil and military officials under his command had been killed, King Assassin Shi couldn't hold on any longer, let out a sad cry, walked up to Chang Si, bowed down and begged, "Lord Jiedu, your subordinates, your subordinates are merciful." They, although they all deserve to die, but, if they are all killed in one go, this, all the places under the jurisdiction of Luzhou, there will be no one to do anything. ”

"Lord Jiedu, I know that I am wrong, I beg my lord to give me a chance, let me wait for the guilty to make meritorious service!" The group practice made Fang Zheng simply kneel down straight, and grabbed the ground with his head.

"I know that I am wrong, and I am willing to atone for my sins, please make the Lord of the Festival give me a chance!" Panic was written on everyone's face.

The two states of Zelu have been a buffer zone between the imperial court and the Han king for many years. Both families only want nothing to happen in this area, and no one is willing to spend half of their energy to rectify the rule of officials and restrain the localities. Therefore, the local officialdom has long been rotten, and those who refuse to go along with the dirt will not be able to gain a foothold here at all. And according to Chang Si today, he doesn't talk about evidence at all, doesn't ask the reason, and beheads the public when he catches the handle, from the history of assassination down, including the regimental training envoy Fang Zheng himself, I am afraid that as long as he is an official, he will not escape death. And at this moment, even if they think about joining forces to resist, it is too late. The soldiers can't be found, the soldiers can't find the generals, the weapons and horses are all at hand, and there is a group of Zhuang Ding who are drunk and obsessed with the excitement behind them.

"And very unwilling to give you a chance, but the guy surnamed Xu......" lowered his head and pinched the local civil and military officials with his eyelids, Chang Si pouted and shook his head, "That guy has something to say, this is a troubled time, and the strong are respected." Whoever has a hard arm and a head is reasonable, and whoever is strong should set the rules! Chang won a ...... with great difficulty today."

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all fell to the ground and kowtowed in unison. And Wang Nu himself, who was assassinated, also knelt down with a "poof", bursting into tears. "My lord Mingjian, that, the surname Xu, is said to be a bad habit for many years, and it is not normal. And at this moment, at this moment, the Han Dynasty has just established the country, and the troubled times have ended. My lord, my lord, must not kill him because he is almost stupid. It is not a pity for corrupt officials to die, but it can damage their own merits, so they will ...... Please, my lord. Don't kill it, kill it again, there will be no one in the local area!"

"But how do I think what he said actually makes sense?" Chang Si frowned, deliberately showing a little hesitation on his face.

"He, he said it without any reason, without any reason!"

"He's a fool!"

"He is a thief if he is old and does not die!"

"That's the truth of the previous dynasty, not the big man!"

“......”

The civil and military officials shook their heads desperately, scrambling to speak in denial. In my heart, I secretly scolded Xu Yanwu's ancestors for eight generations. If it weren't for the fact that this old man stuffed Chang Si into Chang Si's hands before he died, how could Chang Si have moved so much murderous intent? Even if he wanted to establish his authority, at most, at most, he would just pick out one or two unlucky ghosts to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. He has no grievances and no enmity with everyone, and he is not a stunned young man who was an official on the first day, how is it possible, how can he just take out an old account and kill it all according to the name on it?

"Uh-huh......" saw everyone's performance, often thinking about brushing his beard and muttering in a low voice. Neither declared the massacre over, nor urged Ning Ziming to continue to read out the charges. It's just that a cadre of local civil and military officials and others continue to cry and beg for help, wagging their tails and begging for mercy.

"That's the old rules, the old rules, not the new rules of adults. The adults have won this battle, and the new rules have to be established by the adults. Xu Si, the one surnamed Xu, should have been thrown into the stinky ditch a long time ago!" Just when the officials were being abused to the point that they could not survive or die, a "very beautiful" voice suddenly sounded in the ranks of the captured village owners and castle owners.

As if there was a light shining into the fog, Wang Nu, Fang Zheng and the others suddenly woke up, and no matter who the speaker was, they immediately climbed up the pole, "Yes, yes, this is the old rule." When Lord Jiedu first came, he should break the old and establish the new!"

"You're a little clever!" Chang Si turned his head to look and saw that it was Boss Liu, the head of Zhuang Ding, who had found fresh explanations for the officials. He smiled and said loudly: "Come on, pull him to the side of the road for me, and beat him with twenty military sticks!"

"Spare your life!" Boss Liu first wailed bitterly, and then took the initiative to jump up and crawl to the side of the road. Compared to others being pulled out and beheaded for public display, twenty military sticks are nothing at all. Even if both thighs are broken, at least, he will be able to go back alive and see the sun tomorrow.

Chang Simu sent his soldiers to drag this person away, turned his head, took a deep breath, and announced loudly, "Since you let Chang Mou set up new rules, Chang Mou is not welcome! Listen, Chang Mou's rule is, Zelu Erdi, from now on, Lao Tzu will have the final say! In the future, Lao Tzu will do whatever he wants you to do, and you are not allowed to do any more bullshit things that are abducted and deceived, formed into a party for personal gain, and are adjacent to fish and meat! Otherwise, if you catch one, Lao Tzu will kill one and will never forgive! If you want to do anything wrong, you can find a way to pull Lao Tzu down from the position of the Jiedu envoy!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"Xie Jiedu makes the grace of not killing!"

"Lord Xie, forgive me and wait!"

"I will wait for the future, and I hope that only the adults will be the first to look forward!"

“......”

When the officials heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They all bowed down to the ground and showed their loyalty.

At such a time, who cares to think about anything else. Let's save my life first, and then I will leave the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood.

"The old man didn't say that he spared you!" Without waiting for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, Chang Si sneered and grabbed the account book from Ning Ziming's hand, knocked it, and added loudly, "These charges, the old man will hand them over to Lord Thorn Shi and Yousi, and slowly verify." If you have committed a heinous crime, don't shout that you have been wronged, and hurry back to prepare for the future. Those who are guilty of a lesser crime, an accomplice, or a person who is truly extenuating and cannot help himself, shall be convicted in accordance with the law, and then commuted according to the time of the crime, and shall be allowed to make meritorious contributions to the crime. Don't want to run, the monk can't run the temple if he runs. The old man doesn't like to be innocent, but don't force the old man to use the knife with your family. Don't worry, since the old man promised to give you a chance, he will not deal with you strictly. But if you wait to make the old man unhappy again, then let's just right, the new account and the old account, and calculate it clearly!"

"That's nature!"

"My lord is wise, I don't dare to disobey!"

“......”

When the officials heard this, although they were still terrified, their eyes were much brighter. One by one, they raised their heads and scrambled to express their positions.

In any case, it is much better to hand it over to Wang Nu and Yousi to be convicted according to the law than to be cut by Chang Si now. Besides, whether it is criminal law or military law, there is room for maneuver in it, and whoever has been an official for a long time is not clear about this? Next, as long as everyone admits their mistakes and has a positive attitude, they behave more miserably in front of Lord Assassin Shi, and then try their best to appease the bitter master and let them not bite and let go. Nine times out of ten, he escaped from life.

"The old man hasn't finished talking yet!" Chang Si turned his face and continued to announce loudly, "From now on, all the generals of the regimental training battalion, except for the regimental training envoys, will be relieved of their duties and be ordinary pawns. The regimental training battalion was changed to the Zelu Left Army battalion, and all regimental training was merged into the Left Army. Early tomorrow morning, we should train in the morning. Those who do not arrive at one day will be punished with forty heavy responsibilities. Those who fail to arrive at the two times will be liable for eighty years. Those who make a mistake will be beheaded for public display!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Among the officials who knelt down, all the generals immediately surrendered their hands and received the order, and they were overjoyed.

The regimental training battalion no longer exists, and they have completely changed their identities since then, breaking with the past. As long as they are not traced back to their past mistakes and beheaded, in the future, they may not be able to get ahead quickly in the new Left Army battalion by virtue of their own abilities.

"All civil officials, the position remains the same!" waved his hand slightly, Chang Si announced with a little reluctance, "The vacant position, the old man will recruit people to fill it as soon as possible." You can also recommend talents. As long as he lives up to his name, the old man doesn't care whether he has qualifications or not, and he doesn't care what his background is. However, there is a rule, if someone commits a crime in the future, those who should be demoted will be demoted, and those who should be killed will be killed, and then don't think about protecting each other! If not, the old man will simply kill you all and re-advertise the list to recruit talents. The old man doesn't believe it, in the whole of Zelu and the two places, except for you, you can't find more readers!"

"Yes! The lower officials are willing to make meritorious service for their crimes!" all the civil servants leaned over in unison and said loudly.

Chang Si waved his hand and motioned for them to stand aside. Then he took a quick step and came to the middle of the captured Zhuang Ding, "And you, the old man has killed enough people today, so let's all go home! The old man waited for half a month, and after half a month, the levy was doubled. If you don't take the initiative to hand it over after a month, the old man will lead the soldiers and horses to the door to collect it!"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"My lord, I can't wait to leave, I want to stay and eat with my lord!"

"My lord, I am willing to follow you, you are a good official. It's so much better than those fools before!"

“......”

In all directions, the sound of thanksgiving and prayer is like a surging tide. There were nearly thirty percent of the captives who were willing to join the army on the spot and serve Chang Si from then on.

"If you look at it, if you are really willing to stay, you will leave them!" Chang Si waved his hand at everyone, turned his head to Liu Qingyi, the commander of the infantry army, and commanded in a low voice. "Although they are a little stupid, they have a better foundation than the original regimental training, they are easy to practice, and it is easier to build an army!"

Liu Qingyi didn't like to talk, arched his hand, and took the order. Chang Si walked a few more steps along the official road slowly, reprimanded the remaining castle owners and village owners, and released them on the spot. Tell them to change their hearts and faces, and from now on they will no longer run rampant in the township, fish and meat people. The guys who survived were overjoyed, sobbing and kowtowing in thanksgiving, and then away.

After going back, there must be some people among them who are unwilling to lose their former prestige, and will do everything they can to seek "revenge". But Chang Si was not in the mood to think about this, let alone care. Nodding his hand called the assassin Shi Wang Nu and instructed him to lead the civil officials to return first. Immediately, he inspected the lottery numbers that his family had been injured in the battle and arranged for treatment. called a group of confidant generals to arrange the aftermath and prevention tasks in the near future. After everything was taken care of, Shi Shiran walked in all directions and slowly walked towards his mount.

Some soldiers had already grabbed the reins of the war horse, and often thought about the legs. Unexpectedly, his thighs suddenly trembled slightly, and the whole person froze in mid-air.

"Be careful!" Ning Ziming's hand was weak, and he hurriedly rushed over and helped him hard, so as to avoid Chang Si making a fool of himself in public. The moment he withdrew his palm, he found that his palm was cold and wet. Looking up again, I saw that the edge of Chang Si's dark black shin armor was actually dripping with sweat. It's just that there is a cloak on the outside, so it hasn't been discovered by everyone.

"Don't talk too much! the old man is not a fairy!" Chang Si lowered his head and quickly ordered. Then he looked at him carefully, nodded, and added earnestly, "You must have seen it clearly today, this is a troubled time, and the strong are respected." If you kid don't hurry up and learn more skills, don't hurry up and change your bullshit nature. The old man said that he was reluctant to give you the second girl, which is to fulfill you, after the old man dies, can you guarantee that you and her two lives will be safe and sound?"

"This ......" Ning Ziming was caught off guard, his face was red when he was asked, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

As a man, it is a great insult to be powerless to protect his wife's safety. But this is a fact that he must face now. If it weren't for Chang Si, he wouldn't even be able to protect himself, let alone protect his own woman.

This is a troubled time, the strong are respected, and the weak eat the strong. The emperor is strong enough to kill ministers for no reason. The princes were strong enough to persecute the king with impunity. The lord of the country castle was so powerful that he could unceremoniously take his land and give birth to his wife and daughter without fear of being punished by the law. When the officials are strong, they can force their superiors, bully their colleagues, collude with the virtuous and powerful in the township, prey on the common people, and do whatever they want......

If you want to be free from bullying, you can only become stronger and stronger than most of the people around you. And then with the other strong ones, knock the bones and suck the marrow of the weak!

But in this case, what is the difference between man and beast? The same is that the weak eat the strong, the same is that the strong eat all, and the weak have nothing. Flesh feast day after day, without any laws and rules at all?

"The old man knows that you are not convinced, but troubled times are troubled times. The question in his heart just flashed, and in his ears, Chang Si's hoarse voice came again, "In this troubled world, those who have courage can do whatever they want, which is the rule." Others have dared to deal with you with impunity before, because of this. And your master Chen Tuan is low but he still can't protect you, and the old man and the emperor don't have any to do it, and that's because of this. You can disagree, but you can't follow the rules!"

After a pause, he continued to add, a little tired, but earnest, "You either learn to adapt to the rules as soon as possible in the future, and take advantage of the rules to the maximum." Either become stronger by yourself, stronger than the old man and everyone, and make your own rules. Boy, can you understand these words, old man?"
