Chapter 456: Late Rain Won't Save the Withered Crops
"Seriously." Li Si nodded solemnly. Yu
"What if you join the army?" Goe asked.
"Is the leader in the army alone, or is he in the army with his subordinates?" Lees asked.
"What's the point?" Goe asked.
"There's no saying for the time being, it's just that it's easy for the leader to join the army alone, and I'm willing to vouch for the leader. If you take your subordinates to join the army, it will be very difficult, and Zhao Guo has no precedent for this before. I need to ask the king before I can answer the leader."
Li Si did not fool Ge, but replied very seriously.
If he can persuade the Onozawa water thieves to defect to Zhao State, it will be a great achievement for him, and it will be the military feat with the highest gold content.
Relying on one mouth to say that nearly 3,000 water bandits came to vote, it is much more face-saving than an army to suppress 3,000 bandits. Yu
"I understand, and ask the special envoy to help me ask Zhao Guo, if I lead nearly 3,000 water bandits in Onozawa to join Zhao State, what reward can I give, if there are brothers who want to join the army, can they join the army? If a brother wants to farm, can he share the land? As long as the conditions can be accepted by me, I will hand over more than 100 catties to Zhao Guo in the future." Ge patted his chest and said.
"Please wait a few more days, and I will write back to Handan." Li Si arched his hand and said, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain from catching human traffickers.
"Thank you envoy, Nago will retire first, if any news comes, the envoy can just send someone to call my name on the shore, and in less than two quarters of an hour, Ge will appear." Ge said with his fists clenched, and the bandits on the boat shook their oars and disappeared into the dense reeds.
"Chief, do we really want to take refuge in the Zhao Kingdom?" When the boat rowed a certain distance, his subordinates couldn't help but ask.
"Do you want to be a bandit for the rest of your life?" Goe asked.
"I don't want to, but...... Who knows if Zhao Guo's words count or not, the former brothers took refuge in Zhao Guo, and I heard that they were all sent to a place called Hetao, thousands of miles away from us, and there was no news from us, I don't know if it is really land, free of taxes. I'm still dead outside." The subordinate said.
This is also what they are most worried about, not to mention that it is as good as Zhao Guo advertised, and it can also let children read and write, even if it is just to give a piece of land that can be cultivated, the taxes are not so heavy, so that they will not starve to death, they are willing. Yu
But they didn't even know where the river loop was, and it was impossible for them to see it for themselves, so it was better to stay in Onozawa, at least plant some rice, and fish, and starve to death.
"I also have this doubt, so I want to send a few people to Zhao to inquire, not to mention going to Hetao, at least to understand what kind of person King Zhao is, you can't kill us after you deceive us, although Lao Tzu is a bandit, he also cherishes his life." Ge said.
"That's exactly how it should be." The subordinates nodded repeatedly.
……
On the other side, Li Si escorted more than 30 water thieves out of Onozawa with officers and soldiers.
By the time Li Si returned to Linhe County, it was already early June.
He left Handan at the end of February, thinking that he would be able to go back after dealing with the loans. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing halfway, and it took more than two months to check it. Yu
"Prepare the file, all the traffickers, I'm going to interrogate them again. In addition, the whole county was informed that after 10 days, everyone could go and watch the traffickers in the open space outside the south of the city." Lees said. ….
……
Ten days later, there was a sea of people outside the south of Linhe County, in addition to the people of Zhao State, there were also people and officials from Qi, Wei, and Wei who rushed to witness this moment.
They were a little impatient, and they were a little worried that Zhao Guo would not dare to really behead all the traffickers under secular pressure, but chose to catch the big and let go of the small.
They didn't worry for too long, and soon, Li Si led the officers and soldiers to drag more than 1,000 human traffickers up, there were no prisoner cars, Linhe County couldn't build so many prisoner cars for a while, and there was no need to transfer them from other places.
In this way, the prisoners were dragged to the execution ground with heavy leg cuffs on their feet and handcuffs on their hands, and they were beaten and scolded by officers and soldiers.
The execution ground suddenly set off a terrifying wave of shouts and killings, and everyone raised their right hands and shouted all kinds of things in their mouths
all of them are for the execution of human traffickers. Yu
The officers and men of the Zhao State did their best to maintain order.
The traffickers knelt on the ground, looking around in despair, and some were even so frightened that they were incontinent, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, begging for Zhao Guo's forgiveness, but it was doomed to be in vain.
"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. Today, I, Lees, will be clear and filthy for heaven and earth!" Li Si did not waste time, and when all the traffickers and the soldiers who had been brought in as executioners were in place, he raised his right hand in the air, and then swung it downward.
"Slash!"
With a wave of Li Si's palm, more than a thousand people were cut down, and more than a thousand streams of blood gushed out like magma, and the air was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.
The execution ground, which was originally full of people, was silent in an instant, and everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, their faces full of horror.
Even if they had long expected that they would personally come forward and kill the traffickers, after all, more than a thousand living people were killed, and most of them were seeing this kind of scene for the first time, so how could they be calm. Yu
"Ruthless!" A Wei official saw this scene and muttered.
Everyone knows that these people should be killed, but not everyone can make this decision.
Making this decision means that you may be saddled with infamy for the rest of your life.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wei to hand over people to Li Si so easily.
"From now on, there will be a place for Li Si in the world." Fan Za stood on the steps behind him and said slowly.
……
"Justice has finally come!" Yu
"Li Qingtian, Li Qingtian is here!"
"The grass people thank Zhao Guo and Li Qingtian, and Li Qingtian will be my benefactor in the future."
"There were so many officials before, they were all stupid and waste, and only Li Qingcai was a good official. No matter what others say, I will only recognize Li Qingtian in the future."
"Girl, have you seen it, the enemy has been killed, and you can finally look at it."
After a while, the people came to their senses and fell to their knees and shouted.
In the distance, a group of women knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and by the time they raised their heads, their faces were already covered with tears.
Li Si watched this scene silently, I don't know why, after killing so many human traffickers, he didn't feel the slightest happiness. Yu
"My lord, why are you still unhappy that you uphold justice and help so many people take revenge?" The staff asked.
Li Si didn't answer, just looked at the execution ground, and some bold people had already rushed up, snatched the meat of the traffickers, tore it off with their mouths, and then threw it aside, and some even swallowed it directly.
The so-called hatred cannot eat its flesh and drink its blood, but that's it.
The soldier watched the scene silently, and no one stepped forward to stop it.
After a long time, Lees turned and walked towards the city.
"Late rain can't save the withered crops. What is justice when it is delayed? These things could not have happened, but because of the corruption and incompetence of my Zhao State, such a thing happened, and it means that I, Zhao State, am sorry for them, so how can I avenge them?"
