Chapter 260: Interrogating Tang Xiao
With the execution of Shui Sheng, all the people gathered in the square erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
If nothing else, based on Su Qi'an's attitude towards aquatic life, they understood Su Qi'an's determination.
Who is an aquatic? The first wave of people to follow Su Qi'an was Su Qi'an's henchmen.
As Su Qi'an's status and strength continue to rise, confidants like this have to be handled carefully.
Generally speaking, most people will look at the credit of the past, big things are small, small things are small, even if they really die everywhere, they will not be so open.
It will not be like this, holding a so-called public trial conference, which will actually damage the majesty of a big man like Su Qi'an.
But Su Qi'an just did this, and before he was executed, he asked Su Yong to tell all the people something.
Let them understand that here in Su Qi'an, there is no merit or demerit to offset each other, merit is merit and merit is fault, and the two cannot be confused.
This kind of doing things according to the rules without any affection has never been seen by everyone.
Therefore, seeing Su Qi'an's means of combining grace and power made everyone admire it in their hearts.
At the same time, it also shocked a very small number of people who were in a state of flux, after all, even a henchman like Shui Sheng, as long as he did something wrong, would inevitably die, let alone them.
The public trial meeting of Aquatic Life has had a huge impact in Lingbei County, and even after the public trial conference is over, the matter will be discussed in the streets and alleys.
Every time I talk about it, my admiration for Su Qi'an is one more point.
And Su Qi'an did not show up from beginning to end, he was not in Lingbei County, but in Dongshan Village.
At this time, Dongshan Village, after a few days of fierce fighting, there was a lot of depression in the village.
Basically uninhabited, the village can be seen everywhere, and some of the destroyed houses seem a little lonely compared to the tens of thousands of people who were lively before.
Su Qi'an was in the back mountain of Dongshan Village, and in front of him, there were rows of graves, and there was no end in sight.
These are all new graves, those villagers who defended Dongshan Village, died in battle, and village guards.
After Su Qi'an took over the defense of Lingbei County, he entrusted He County to send part of the Dongshan Army to collect the villagers who died in the battle and bury them.
Looking at the rows of new graves in front of him, Su Qi'an was silent, with some sadness on his face.
Since he took over Lingbei County, the news has spread, and in the past few days, he has received more or less news of the escaped villagers.
One after another, these villagers returned to Lingbei County and were resettled one by one, but there was still no news of Qin Ziyin and Tong Zhan.
According to the villagers who had seen them at the last time, after covering the retreat of the villagers that night, Tang Xiao's pursuers chased them to the border of Lingbei County, and Qin Ziyin and the others disappeared behind them.
Those pursuers, they don't know where they fled, after all, it was dark that night, and a scuffle broke out again, and no one knew what to do, and it was normal for them to be separated.
Su Qi'an sighed, stood in front of this new pile of graves, and was silent for a long time.
After a while, Huang Wenyan walked over, and he handed Su Qi'an a piece of paper, which contained some information about the aquatic public trial conference.
Su Qi'an glanced at it, then tore off the paper and threw it into the air.
Shui Sheng's confession before his death still made Su Qi'an feel inexplicable.
For Shui Sheng, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion, but this does not mean that Su Qi'an can forgive him.
If you let him go, you will be sorry for the team members who died in front of you, and even more sorry for the dead Iron Bull and some of the members of the third team.
Therefore, the execution of aquatic beings must be done, and it is also an explanation to the dead people. Look at the book
The aquatic incident gave Su Qi'an a lesson, as his strength grew, his subordinates, especially his henchmen, should take a good lesson.
You must not cause your own desires to swell because of your own selfishness, so as to do things that set yourself on fire.
Let them know that Su Qi'an's success is definitely not for himself, but for the villagers at the bottom, who will not be bullied, can have enough food and clothing.
If everyone is like Shui Sheng, when they see the power in the hands of the powerful of the family, they are willing to fall, then they are harmonious
What is the difference between those powerful families?
Isn't it just to create a new family to oppress the people at the bottom? This completely goes against Su Qi'an's original intention of developing his power.
Su Qi'an's goal is not so big, not to transform the entire Daliang earth-shatteringly.
First, he doesn't have that much ability, and secondly, it's not realistic, the establishment and transformation of any dynasty will take several generations.
With Su Qi'an alone, he can't do it at all, what he can do is to restrain his group of people under the jurisdiction of his only rights, and let the people under his jurisdiction live and work in peace and contentment.
The others are not what Su Qi'an can manage at the moment.
Su Qi'an stood in front of the new tomb for a long time, and said softly, "Everyone, the aquatic life that betrayed you is dead, and it can be regarded as giving you an explanation, but there is a debtor who has been wronged, and then it is time to find the right owner and recover the blood debt from them."
After speaking, Su Qi'an turned around and left Dongshan Village with Huang Wenyan.
What he has to do now is to meet this prince Tang Xiao first.
Su Qi'an, who returned to Lingbei County non-stop, saw Tang Xiao who woke up in a side hall of the Lingbei County Ya.
At this time, Tang Xiao was tied with a rope all over his body, and a strip of cloth was stuffed in his mouth.
It's not that he was afraid that Tang Xiao would run away, but that he had too many words, and he kept chattering and clamoring to see Su Qi'an after waking up.
If it weren't for Su Qi'an's instructions to treat this lord well, the soldiers guarding would have to give him two mouths if they say anything.
With Su Qi'an's arrival, Tang Xiao was quite excited, he struggled with his body, and motioned to remove the strip of cloth from his mouth.
Seeing this, the soldiers took off the strips of cloth under Su Qi'an's instructions.
As soon as the strip of cloth was taken down, Tang's chattering voice sounded.
"Su Qi'an, you let me go as soon as possible, you are so bold that you dare to tie me up, just with your behavior, you can be condemned by believing it or not! Kill your head!"
Tang Xiao's gaffe surprised Su Qi'an, in his impression, this prince seemed to rarely have such a gaffe.
It's no wonder that Tang Xiao is like this, after all, he is a dignified son, within a state, it can be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a little overlord.
originally wanted to make a good contribution in front of his father and capture Su Qi'an alive, but who would have thought that not only failed to take him down.
In the end, he became a prisoner, not to mention that he became a prisoner, Su Qi'an cooled him for several days, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.
And he was even insulted by a few ruffians, and a few mouths directly knocked him unconscious.
When did he suffer such anger, if it weren't for his carelessness, if he came this time and brought the shadow guard by his side, how could Su Qi'an capture him so easily.
But alas, there are no ifs for anything.
Looking at Tang Xiao, who was still angry, Su Qi'an just said coldly, "What the prince said is right, in theory, he can indeed convict me, but Ben Hou dares to guarantee that before I die, I will definitely pull you as a backdrop."
"Let Ben Hou think about it, if His Excellency the Prince dies like this, tsk, I guess those brothers of yours will have to thank me."
"Su Qi'an, you!" Tang Xiao was so angry by Su Qi'an's words that he choked, but he couldn't refute it.
"If you don't believe it, you can give it a try." Su Qi'an said with a smile.
Although Su Qi'an had a smile on his face, Tang Xiao could feel his seriousness.
If he still has such a tough attitude, this newly sealed Dongshan Marquis may really kill him.
Tang Xiao held back the resentment in his heart, stared at Su Qi'an fiercely, and said coldly.
"Su Qi'an, what the hell do you want to do!"
"Hehe, that's naturally to negotiate terms between you and the state pastor."
Tang Xiao's eyes froze, as if he had thought of something, and sneered, "I didn't expect that Dongshan Hou was also afraid, too, after all, Qin Huai and them are still in the hands of my father, and the two ladies of Dongshan Hou are nowhere to be found, thinking about Dongshan Hou is really pitiful."
"I thought hard, but I didn't expect that in the end there would be a fire in the backyard, and everything that was established in Xizhou would happen overnight
It's gone, I'm afraid it will make Dongshan Hou quite painful."
Tang Xiao's ridicule was self-evident, he was finally able to catch Su Qi'an's sore spot, and he had to step on it hard.
"Hmph, surnamed Tang, I think you're fucking underwhelming, right, the previous slap didn't make you remember it for a long time, it's okay, now Uncle Ben lets you know and know, what is a pain in the flesh."
Before Su Qi'an could speak, Song Biao, who was standing behind Tang Xiao, couldn't help it, moved his wrist, and walked over scolding.
Song Biao's demeanor, Su Qi'an did not stop it, and looked indifferently at Tang Xiao, who was a little frightened.
Seeing Song Biao approaching, Tang Xiao hurriedly said, "Su Qi'an, you can't treat me like this, I am the son of the world, if something happens to me, my father will not be able to bypass you."
Regarding Tang Xiao's threat, Su Qi'an didn't care at all, and was completely indifferent.
Seeing Song Biao's slap fall hard, Tang Xiao said loudly, "Su Qi'an, what do you want to know, what do you know, this son will definitely tell you everything."
It was this sentence that made Su Qi'an, who did not speak, stop Song Biao.
Looking at Tang Xiao, who was nervous and wheezing, Su Qi said, "How many troops do you have in Xizhou, where are they arranged, and who is the Kyoto *** who instructs you to act, everything you know, tell me one by one."
The first half of Su Qi'an did not surprise Tang Xiao, and the second half of the sentence made Tang Xiao's eyes show surprise.
Why didn't he expect that Su Qi'an would be sensitive, and they would have a connection with Kyoto.
After all, it was a taboo for the imperial court to have contacts between the local governor and Kyoto***.
Even if they come and go, they are very secretive, but this Su Qi'an can see it at a glance.
Originally, Tang Xiao planned to hide it, but looking at Su Qi'an's eyes as sharp as an eagle, he understood that there were some things that could not be hidden.
After being silent for a while, Tang Xiao came to Su Qi'an everything he knew.
This conversation lasted for almost half an hour, and then, Su Qi'an waved his hand and signaled to stay with Tang Xiao.
Before the strip of cloth was stuffed into his mouth, Tang Xiao said loudly, "Su Qi'an, I told you everything I know, you have to keep your promise, you must ensure the safety of my life, otherwise, my father will not let you go."
Su Qi'an ignored Tang Xiao's shouting, and Tang Xiao was taken down after a while.
To be honest, Su Qi'an didn't think about Tang Xiao's life, Tang Xiao was a standard gentleman, and the threat to him was not great, what really made him wary was Xizhou Mu Tang Feng.
The living Tang Xiao is more meaningful than the dead Tang Xiao, at least Tang Feng will not jump off the wall in a hurry, and the two sides have not yet reached the point of tearing their faces.
