Under the dark night sky, most of Wuzhou City was already lit up with fire.

The sound of noise is in my ears.

Li Xuan rode on a tall horse, and under the escort of a group of Qianniu guards and Huijifu soldiers, he walked slowly on the long street.

From time to time, a series of terrible shouts could be heard, and the sound of blades clashing was heard immediately.

A loud opening of the door suddenly came from the left.

Li Xuan subconsciously turned his head and saw an ox cart at the gate of the fang.

Under the flickering firelight, a bloody corpse lay alone on it, with a fist-sized bloody hole in its chest.

Fang Yunxiu, the master of the Wuzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect, Fang Yunxiu.

A prisoner's cart followed, containing two corpses almost full of crossbow arrows.

Two months ago, he assassinated the assassin who assassinated the king of history, and severed his palm and his life.

After that, there were five carts, piled up on corpses.

The blood kept dripping, drop by drop.

It seems that it is inexplicably a little infiltrating.

There were more than a dozen people behind, wailing incessantly, being led by ropes, and swords were pulled out from behind the door.

There were people in the prime of life, there were old people, children, women and girls, dozens of people were pulled out by a long rope together.

Li Xuan calmly watched the group of people being pulled away, and didn't say a word.

At this time, Yan Tao couldn't help but come up: "Lord, I don't know if I can open the net, those children are innocent."

"This king also wants to open the net, but where the law is, there is nothing to do." Li Xuan turned around, patted Yan Tao's shoulder, and said seriously: "This is the last time this king will tell you, you have to understand, they are the family members of those traitors, which also means that their whole family is a devout disciple of the Tianyin Sect, once the Tianyin Sect starts an incident, their whole family will turn into thugs and ask for people's lives."

Li Xuan's gaze skimmed over those children, and finally fell on Yan Tao again, and then said unusually coldly: "Once you go to the battlefield, if you still have this mentality, then don't blame this king for beheading you, so as not to shake the army's heart."

"The lower officials don't dare." Yan Tao suddenly felt stunned, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize.

Li Xuan waved his hand, looked at the team of people on the side, and said lightly, "Go ahead, bring those two killers, as well as Fang Yunxiu's blade."

"Whoa!" Although Yan Tao didn't know what Li Xuan wanted to do, he immediately agreed and walked to the other side.

"Lord Wang!" A voice sounded behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan turned around and saw Du Bixing standing aside with the inspector Cao and Xu Jian, standing with his hands bowed.

"How's it going?" Li Xuan's gaze crossed the two of them and fell directly on the door behind the two.

Du Bixing immediately bowed his hand and said: "Returning to the prince, now that we have passed the four squares of Changxing, Virtue, Shunxing and Anxing, a total of twenty-one Tianyin Sect disciples have been recognized, their parents, brothers and sisters, cousins, and cousins have all been imprisoned, the door of the house has been sealed, the neighbors are isolated, and the rumors have been released, but they are ......."

"Just what, just say?" Li Xuan frowned slightly.

"Lord Wang, I don't know if it is possible to screen his uncles and brothers, and those who are willing to blaspheme the Tianyin Goddess and cut off their collusion with the Tianyin Sect will be reduced by one degree?" Du Bixing's eyes skimmed over the hundreds of people, and then said cautiously, "Can you let him set an example for others?"

Li Xuan leaned over and looked at Du Bixing: "Mr. Du, you are now the inspector of the law Cao to join the army, you come to tell this king, in the Tang law, is it allowed to reduce the crime like this?"

"Returning to the prince, Tang Luzhong...... There are no such regulations, but the prince has the right to ...... as a driver in Wuzhou."

"You say yes, that's the king's authority." Li Xuan glanced at Du Bixing deeply.

Du Bixing immediately came to his senses and arched his hand: "The lower official has exceeded the rules."

"You're not overstepping, you're just a little ill-thought-out." Li Xuan turned around, pointed to the people on the other side who were being dragged forward by the Wuzhou soldiers, and said coldly: "The uncle and brother you said want to open the net, so whether the old man and the child should be commuted to the same level, do you think about it

But if they do not want to, will the king immediately behead them for public display?"

In the end, Li Xuan already had a bit of a gritted tooth.

He stared at Du Bixing and said, "Now this is only the relevant family members of the assassins tonight, so how many Tianyin Sect members in the entire Wuzhou are unwilling to give up their faith if they are all unwilling to give up their faith, will this king kill them all?" Have you considered how many people this king would have to kill to settle the strife?"

Killing, Li Xuan has never been soft, but when he can not kill, he will try his best not to kill.

Just like when he was in Dongyang, Li Xuan chose to kill people and punish his heart.

Even in Caishikou, Li Xuan used death row prisoners as stand-ins.

"Now that the Tianyin Sect is close to the uprising, once the rebellion is confirmed, there is no way to keep it, and at this time, this method is still used, once it is screened out, it will not repent for a while, is it really necessary to behead at least thousands of people in this city immediately?" Li Xuan looked at Du Bixing and couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

However, Du Bixing said unusually calmly: "Lord Wang, if you are convinced of the Tianyin Sect, no matter what the Lord does, they will eventually think about the Tianyin Sect, it is better to act in advance now, at least lock them up, and wait until the fact to distinguish them one by one, and."

After a pause, Du Bixing looked at Li Xuan and said in a solemn tone: "Lord Wang, although there are many followers of the Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou today, Xia Guan believes that there are more people who are not his companions."

Li Xuan looked at Du Bixing, who was still insisting, and said softly, "Mr. Du, do you think that this king has no other way to distinguish other people's hearts besides the previous means of distinguishing the Tianyin Sect?"

Du Bixing's face changed slightly, and he arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, the lower official ......."

Li Xuan waved his hand and interrupted Du Bixing's words: "Mr. Du, now I am waiting in Zhoucheng, but I am waiting in Dongyang......

At that time, when I first arrived in Wuzhou, the situation was unfamiliar, the crisis was lurking, and it was understandable that the means were more radical, but the state city was not good, and now the state city has generally been under our control.

Even those Tianyin Sect disciples have enough time to slowly adjust in the future, so why use such radical methods......

"What does the prince mean is that the prince is already sure that the Tianyin Sect will not attack the state city?" Du Bixing didn't care about the dissatisfaction in Li Xuan's words at all, and directly grasped the information revealed in his words.

"Just a thought." Li Xuan's expression relaxed, he looked at Du Bixing and said, "Mr. Du, this king knows that you are anxious to completely eliminate all hidden dangers in the state city, but don't worry, first follow the method we discussed before, this kind of discrimination technique is used to scare people first, if it is best and there is no other way, then it can only be so."

"If there are only three or three Heavenly Yin Sect disciples left in the last state city, there is no need to do so, they will perish." Du Bixing's expression perked up, and he arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "Xiaguan is waiting for the good news of the prince."

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Although the art of discernment is not feasible, if it is just to let it cut off its connection with the Tianyin Sect, this king will try to present it to His Majesty, if His Majesty descends Long'en, it will naturally be feasible, if it is Your Majesty......

"It turns out that there are too many people in Wuzhou." Du Bixing completely understood it now.

Reduced guilt by one degree.

Li Xuan is reluctant to distinguish between life and death in the state city, and this is the reason.

If you want to make the followers of the Tianyin Sect give up their faith, it is not enough to oppress them with knives and guns, but also to have something to induce them to give up.

The core content of this is to reduce the crime and avoid capital crimes.

But the state city and Dongyang are different.

The population of the state city is several times that of Dongyang, in Dongyang, even if Li Xuan commutes some people, he can pass like this with his identity, but Wuzhou can't, there are too many people.

If he does the same in Wuzhou, he will inevitably be accused of buying people's hearts and intentions in the future. Chinese Net

If it was a certain great sage, then he could naturally risk everything he had and risk his life to save those ordinary people, but Li Xuan couldn't.

He was too selfish.

A black leather bag containing five short swords hung casually on the side of the brown horse, and Li Xuan staggered back to his residence with Qianniuwei.

The side door opened at the first time.

Li Xuan took the lead in hitting the horse, Xiong Yan stood on the side with his hands tied, followed by Bai Lao and a group of men.

"Close the door, lock it!" Xiong Yan whispered, and then quickly chased after Li Xuan and Qianniuwei.

"Back to the prince, the meal has been prepared." Xiong Yan stepped forward and grabbed the horse rope and led the horse slowly forward.

Li Xuan nodded, turned his head to look at Qiu Zhenmu on the other side, and said, "Brother Qiu take the brothers to have a drink or two, Xiao Wang will not go, there are still a lot of things to deal with tomorrow...... Xiong Yan, let people prepare this king to take a bath."

"Whoa!" Xiong Yan grabbed the horse, Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, and walked directly into the main hall regardless of the people behind him.

"Lord Wang." Yu Ze and Wang Bo were already waiting in the hall.

Yu Ze placed an open volume of books and a volume of title deeds on one side.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Say, calculate how many acres of land there are available for granting."

"Back to the prince, there were originally only about 5,000 acres of wasteland, but the Yang family sent 3,000 acres of fertile land before, plus the land of the Tianyin Sect who was killed and arrested today, there are probably about 2,000 acres, and a total of 10,000 acres are distributed in different places, with different good and bad fields."

"It's hard work for Uncle Yu and Han to join the army." Li Xuan nodded gently and said softly, "Now, this is the most important thing."

Li Xuan pressed one hand on the field book.

Yu Ze can always keep up with Li Xuan's train of thought a lot, and complete it to the letter, while Du Bixing is a little worse.

Perhaps, he is the emperor's person himself, and being by Li Xuan's side is just helping Li Xuan complete the task.

He has his own goals and practices.

"But Lord Wang, this 10,000 acres is not enough!" Yu Ze said a little worriedly: "Although it is not like the Gaozu period, where each ding is granted 20 acres of Yongye field and 80 acres of mouth land, at least each ding needs to be granted 20 acres of Yongye field and 20 acres of mouth field, and our field is now only enough to grant 250 people."

"This time, we will not give the land to the mouth, but only the Yongye field." Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze and said seriously: "Yongye Tian is the people's own land, as for the mouth of the land, whether it is rented by the imperial court or rented by the landlord, there is not much difference."

"It's only enough for five hundred people to grant land like this, and it's almost far away." The worry on Yu Ze's face was still very heavy.

"In Wuzhou today, the summer harvest is imminent, and the officials are short of manpower, and 300 acres of land can be granted every day. A hint of coldness flashed on Li Xuan's face.

"Do you want to put more tomorrow, just put 500 acres?" Yu Ze cautiously proposed.

"No, just put a thousand acres, and then hook people's hearts first." Li Xuan said lightly: "According to our previous method of dividing people......

"My subordinates understand!" Yu Ze let out a long sigh of relief, everything finally had a clue.

Li Xuan turned to look at Wang Bo and arched his hand and said, "By the way, Mr. Zi'an, I need to trouble you to write a seal here......
