End of Chapter 243
In the westernmost part of the Western Regions, which is also close to the Caspian Sea in Central Asia, the last Western Regions turtle successfully arrived with the Tang army and the sons of the family.
Sitting on horseback, looking at the last city in front of him, Li Fan poured a mouthful of water, muttering in his heart that his luck was really bad, and he actually drew lots to this farthest place.
Li Jing, the commander who followed next to him, was a middle-aged man with a resolute face, and he always remained silent.
The turtle in the Western Regions next to him looked at the city not far away and laughed, approached Li Fan's side, and said excitedly: "Brother Li, this is my house, if you want to eat, drink, or play, you can say that I can satisfy you, brother." ”
"Eat, drink and have fun, we have everything here."
"You know, this city was built by our family."
When the turtle in the Western Regions said that the city was built by their family, excitement flashed in his eyes.
This is his home base.
A vigilance flashed in Li Fan's eyes, the city built by his own family, it should be very terrifying to the local people, it seems that it is difficult to start, it is difficult.
Some of the families they came from were like this.
The city where their family is located is built by themselves, with the people, bit by bit from the barrenness, such a group of families in their own city combat effectiveness is off the charts, directly belonging to the local overlord, one level higher than the overlord.
Thinking about it, Li Fan gave Li Jing a vague look, but Li Jing was still expressionless, as if he was just a machine that performed tasks indifferently.
Li Fan turned his head and talked and laughed with the turtle in the Western Regions.
In this way, the group slowly walked towards the city.
After entering the city, the vigilance in Li Fan's eyes slowly disappeared, and the vigilance in his heart was directly gone.
I saw that the people in the city were scrawny, with no light in their eyes, and they looked like walking corpses.
Such people are not absent in the Tang Dynasty, but most of them live in remote mountainous areas without family guards.
Although it is strange to say this, there are often families living in cities, and although the people are not very rich, they are at least able to survive.
Li Fan followed the turtle from the Western Regions all the way to his home.
The palace is resplendent and resembling a palace, a butler with a big waist and a round waist to eat, a plump beauty, and a proud servant with a glittering eye.
Seeing this, Li Fan's heart had already begun to calculate the charges of this turtle in the Western Regions.
At the banquet to welcome Li Fan and Li Jing, the two of them did not drink a drop of wine, and their diet was also small, which made the turtle of the Western Regions who warmly welcomed the two very puzzled, but he just laughed, thinking that the wine and food were not suitable for the appetite of the two.
"If you are not used to eating, then my cook's sin is great, and I often punish such guilty people to death, so as to warn others and let them know the fate of not doing their job well."
The sincerity revealed in the rampant smile of the turtle in the Western Regions made Li Fan frown, this guy has regarded himself as the emperor, and he has the power of life and death in this city.
The atmosphere of the reception was very awkward and strange, and Li Jing had been waiting for Li Fan's words.
After three rounds of drinking, the turtle in the Western Regions drank too much, began to introduce his family to Li Fan, and began to talk about the welfare of the new system.
"My sons, all the wise gods, they are all good at collecting taxes, our new system doesn't pay attention to a question of contribution, my sons, they will definitely be able to collect the most taxes and get the greatest contribution."
"And daughters, I heard that our Datang women can also have titles, my daughters, all skills are superb, like their mothers, come back to the two of them to enjoy the room, they can also get a knighthood with their own contributions."
"The two of you don't need to tell me any big truths, I know one, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, no one comes to check, and there are no high taxes that can't be leveled by the central masters."
"So, this title, this background, it's not the two of you who have the final say."
"The people in my family, the contribution, is definitely enough."
"I still know one thing, we Datang came to turn this land into Datang people, I know a reasonable way to let those untouchables die, this contribution, you help me calculate, is it enough for my whole family to get a big title in Datang."
Although the turtle in the Western Regions was drunk, the words he said made Li Fan's heart move.
But Li Fan, who learned from Confucianism and benevolence, still has a trace of goodness in his heart after all.
Li Fan looked at his own family members who were called to the courtyard by the turtle in the Western Regions, and listened to what he meant, it was already complete.
Taking a deep breath, Li Fan whispered to the turtle in the Western Regions: "The biggest difference between humans and animals is that people must have a bottom line in doing things. ”
The turtle in the Western Regions didn't understand, thinking that Li Fan was saying a joke again.
Giving Li Jing a look, Li Jing blew a long slogan into the sky, and an eagle in the sky made a chirping sound that resounded through the sky.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stationed in the city heard the call of the eagle and took their weapons one after another, and rushed into the mansion of the turtle in the Western Regions under the leadership of their respective centurs.
In the mansion, Li Jing and Li Fan took twenty soldiers who followed, put their swords on the neck of the turtle in the Western Regions, and said coldly: "You have been arrested, charged with crimes, and confused the people. ”
The turtles in the Western Regions are confused, what's going on, didn't we say it well at the beginning?
I welcome you warmly, and I will send my beautiful daughter to your room, so that you can enjoy her contribution, but now you have a knife on my neck, but for the sake of those damned untouchables in the city, you Datang are not sick.
The Western Regions Turtle angrily beckoned his soldiers to rush forward, he wanted to let these stupid Tang people know whose territory it was.
Several of the sons of the Western Regions turtle rushed up to save their Lao Tzu, but they were knocked to the ground by three or two blows, and their legs and arms were broken everywhere.
The women trembled under the sharp swords.
Li Fan looked at all this coldly.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are brave and good at fighting, and it took them less than half an hour to take this mansion.
The original army in this city has long been disbanded, and the servant army of the Tang Dynasty is stationed, and these servant troops also listen to the orders of the Tang army.
They were all defeated by Datang's subordinates, and they were left with a psychological shadow by Datang.
The next day, on the square in the city, the whole family of the city's Western Regions turtles were beheaded, and the charges were announced one by one in front of the people.
Li Fan announced in public that the wealth of the turtles in the Western Regions would be confiscated, and the Li family of Taiyuan in the Tang Dynasty would take over in the future.
God, it's changed.
But the light in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions did not return.
The long-term repression, confidence in the official, is not so easy to restore.
Similar situations are playing out everywhere in the Western Regions.
Hang the people and punish the wicked, and buy people's hearts.
Among them, it is not that there are no turtles in the Western Regions to resist, but it is useless, it is useless at all, and they have also said that they bribed Yang Shidao.
But it still didn't work.
You said bribing the family in front of the family, do you think you can shake their determination?
Even, this strong, does it make sense for you to sue?
