Chapter 105: The Death of the County Order
Many people got the news that they rushed to the county office even though they braved the cold wind and were in rags.
Yang Zhi knew that these people were simple, but looking at their thin and yellow faces, his heart still hurt inexplicably.
He didn't have much of a sense of belonging to this world, but over time, he had developed a sense of empathy for these ordinary people.
I can't see the people being bullied, and I can't see them living like this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are from the Songzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and we have come to Liuyang County to suppress bandits on the orders of Lord Shi and the Metropolitan Governor."
Yang Zhi did not directly expose his identity, and he is not the kind of person who sells his reputation, not to mention that what he wants to do next is to tie Lao Feng together.
"According to our investigation, Hu Dadi, the leader of the mountain bandits in Liuyang County, was also arrested, and Hu Qingshan, the leader of Anping County, who colluded with the mountain bandits, was also captured."
Yang Zhi looked at the indifferent expressions of the people, knowing in his heart that they didn't care about this, and then continued: "In the backyard of the county government, we seized the silver embezzled by the county commander Hu Qingshan for more than two years and the treasures of the land. ”
"These things will be returned to everyone in accordance with the regulations."
The people below quarreled excitedly, gossiping, and saying everything.
Yang Zhi said loudly: "As long as Hu Qingshan occupies the land and occupies the treasures at home, you can go to the county government to register, and once verified, it will be returned to everyone." ”
"In the past two years, the county government has collected all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes under various names, and they will also be refunded to everyone in accordance with the regulations."
Yang Zhi saw that the faces of the people showed excited expressions, and he didn't care what the regulations didn't stipulate, these things originally belonged to the local people, as for the rest of the matter, didn't he say it, he was ordered by Lord Shi.
Lao Feng, you have cheated me so many times, this time this black pot, you have set your back.
Besides, this Anping County is also under your rule, and it is your fault that there is such a corrupt official who is not as good as a beast.
As soon as Yang Zhi waved his hand, Hu Qingshan, Hu Dadi and others were pushed out.
When the people saw these people at this time, they naturally hated them to the core, and saw that the county order that was high in the past was pushed out like a dead pig.
Yang Zhi's original idea of killing them in public immediately changed, but he turned around and whispered a word to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong turned around and left, and Yang Zhi waited for a while before he spoke: "The county commander Hu Qingshan, colluded with the mountain bandit Hu Dadi, acted in embarrassment, and deserved death for the sake of the township, and now I will hand them over to everyone to deal with." ”
As soon as Yang Zhi's words were finished, the people below all stared at each other with wide eyes, and the fear of these people in their hearts was not a day or two, but it was not so easy to let go.
"Kill them!"
In the crowd, there was a loud shout!
Yang Zhi smiled meaningfully, and Chen Dong's voice startled him.
Someone starts, and someone responds immediately.
"Yes, kill them!"
"Kill this dog officer!"
"Come with me, kill these beasts!"
All kinds of voices were mixed together, and then someone rushed to the Hu Qingshan brothers who were kneeling on the ground.
Poor Hu Qingshan was still in a coma, and Hu Dadi was also beaten so that he couldn't speak, so he could only show a frightened look.
Then they were drowned among the people, and the remaining mountain bandits, as well as the thugs who were captured alive in the backyard, and the two brothers Hu Qingshan, were beaten to death by the people in this way.
Yang Zhi couldn't bear to look at that picture, but when he heard Chen Dong say later, even the corpses were unrecognizable, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
As the county government began to register those who had seized their ancestral property and treasures in Anping County, more and more people began to line up to register after the people who took back their ancestral properties and treasures came out.
This kind of thing will definitely not be completed in a few days.
Yang Zhi didn't dare to stay here, leaving Chen Xi with half of the people to watch here, and asked him to send someone to Songzhou to inform Lao Feng, while he himself took Chen Dong and thirty brothers and rushed to Liuyang County.
The reason why he was in such a hurry to leave was because the news of the killing of the Anping County Order would definitely spread to Liuyang County soon.
Yang Zhi couldn't wait for things to get to a certain point, if the people here in Liuyang County were mentally prepared, then things would get worse.
Therefore, Yang Zhi wanted to solve the problem in Liuyang County in advance when the people on the Liuyang County side had not yet reacted.
The most important thing is the Songzhou soldiers stationed in Liuyang County.
Liuyang County is a very large county town, and the people in the county town alone have a population of nearly 300,000, and if you count other counties, the entire Liuyang County has a population of about 500,000.
Originally, 5,000 government soldiers were stationed in Liuyang County, but Yang Zhi dared to guarantee that Lei Yang and Qin Feng would definitely eat empty salaries.
And this time, Qin Feng was the envoy of the family, in addition to the five thousand right tiger guards escort, he also brought two thousand soldiers.
It stands to reason that there should be 3,000 soldiers left in Liuyang County, but when Yang Zhi arrived in Liuyang County, he realized that he was very wrong.
Liuyang County has a city wall, although it is not high, but there are almost three zhang, under the city gate, only a few government soldiers guard, on the city wall, there is no human figure.
And if you want to enter the city, you also need to pay the fee to enter the city, five cents per person, if there is a carriage, then it is even more, a carriage costs a hundred cents.
Isn't this the same as robbing?
After Qin Feng's bastard arrived in Liuyang County, it seemed that he really didn't do anything good, just collecting this entrance fee to the city, I don't know how many businessmen were turned away from Liuyang County, isn't this killing chickens and taking eggs?
Chen Dong and the others had already changed into ordinary clothes, but in order to bring weapons and armor into the city, they also used three carriages, and then paid three taels of silver, so that the government soldiers at the city gate did not check the carriages and let them enter the city directly.
Yang Zhi was very angry, this is the soldier under his command, if this is the case everywhere, the qi of this Dasheng Dynasty should really be exhausted.
After entering the city, Yang Zhi immediately asked Chen Dong to contact the brother sent first to find out the situation in the city, and then said that in such a large county town, even if the county guard was not there, there were many officials under him.
found an inn in the city closest to the Chengwei Mansion to stay, and Yang Zhi next waited for his brother to bring the news before making a plan.
In this era, the most troublesome thing is to pass on the news, which is transmitted by people, and as for the flying pigeon to pass the book, that thing is not very reliable at all.
If you think about your own world, you have long realized the information society, and even if you are thousands of miles away, you can communicate directly through the Internet and telephone.
It seems that in the future, in various parts of Songzhou, it is necessary to establish an organization to transmit information, which belongs only to oneself, not the kind of government, and some information is the most trustworthy if it is sent by one's own people.
