Hengyang City, this is a pioneer city.

As the vanguard outpost guarding the capital of Jinling, when a large army comes to attack Jinling, it is almost the last buffer line.

At this time, outside the Hengyang County Ya, after receiving the prince's handwritten letter from the capital.

Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, directly handed it to the Hengyang County Order, who was sitting on the side and the old god was there.

"County order, this is from the capital, His Royal Highness the Prince's handwritten handwriting, and there is also the prince's seal on it as proof! How? Can I go out with the troops now? ”

When he saw that the other party took the handwritten letter sent by him, Zhu Hu directly took the saber from the ground on the side as he spoke.

The smile on the corner of his mouth was not disguised in the slightest.

Early this morning, outside the Hengyang City Government, it was surrounded by the people.

And Zhu Hu's first reaction after learning about this was to directly lead troops to surround these people first.

However, after the county magistrate of Hengyang City heard about this, he also hurriedly ran to Zhu Hu's mansion and directly forced him to die.

If Zhu Hu dared to lead troops to suppress the people, he would die directly in front of Zhu Hu.

Zhu Hu's methods of suppressing others, he has seen it.

The fire gun sped up the knife, that was everywhere it went, and it was invincible, but those who resisted, almost no chickens and dogs were left.

If Zhu Hu is allowed to take the troops to suppress those people, I am afraid that outside the Hengyang Mansion, there will be a river of blood.

This Hengyang County Commander is also a real person, in order to fulfill his duties, he insisted on using his own life as a threat, stopped Zhu Hu in his mansion, and forcibly stopped him for a morning.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, although there is a handwritten letter from the prince, the old minister still has to remind you, you suppress the bullies, the old ministers in the township can't control it, but those are innocent people, they have not overstepped If His Royal Highness has to be bloodbathed, then the old minister has a mistake in governing one side, and he should be the first to ambush!"

"Please think twice, Your Highness!"

The old county order originally thought that after reporting the matter, the imperial court would come forward to stop King Zhou's atrocities!

But when he saw the handwritten letter sent by the prince, he found that what was written on it was actually four words for him to do.

On his old face, which was still breezy and light, suddenly showed a heavy color.

He never dreamed that the reply from the capital would be such four big words.

This was really beyond his expectations.

"Don't worry, the old county order. I, Zhu Hu, am not a person who loves to kill, I explained to you very clearly, I don't want to suppress the people, why don't you believe it? ”

Zhu Hu looked at this stubborn old man, and now he was eager to open the Heavenly Spirit Cover for himself and let him see what was in his head.

Since he heard that the people had surrounded the Hengyang Mansion in the morning, he thought about taking someone to deal with this matter.

As a result, he was dragged out by the old county order for a morning.

He didn't want to think about it, if he Zhu Hu was really a brutal and murderous person.

Can he still hold himself off?

He wants to die, just let him die.

And so much to talk to him?

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, I don't know if you are addicted to killing old ministers, but you don't pay attention to the rules at all, this is an indisputable fact!"

After hearing Zhu Hu's explanation of his behavior, the old county magistrate still only shook his head contemptuously.

After Zhu Hu came to Hengyang City, he directly led people to kill him.

There are not a few people who have been raided by him before and after and their property confiscated.

The treasury of the temporarily requisitioned Zhou Wang's mansion has been filled with all kinds of money, silver and silk.

Many of them have even been moved to guest rooms.

The grain he collected during this time filled the three granaries.

The prison was almost full of people.

However, nine out of ten of these people who were arrested in prison and had their homes raided were directly taken down by Zhu Hu without review.

With such a means of doing things beyond the law, how can the old county magistrate not be worried?

If he went to face those people, he would be slightly contradicted by one or two, and he would directly behead them on the spot.

Then the entire Hengyang City, must it be immediately messed up into a pot of porridge?

"At extraordinary times, it is natural to use extraordinary means. Hey, forget it, you come along, and you'll understand later. ”

Zhu Hu actually admires the old county order of Hengyang City.

After he came to Hengyang, the first thing he did was to take the lead in checking the family situation of Hengyang County Ling.

He was lowly, not to mention supporting the servants, and sometimes he had to help the poor neighbors around him.

A man is old, but he has no children and no daughters.

I heard that my sons and daughters and my wife were starving to death in the famine.

For this kind of old man, Zhu Hu still admires it from the bottom of his heart.

That's why he was coerced by the other party's threats.

When Zhu Hu left the house, the Musket Army, the Infantry Guards, and the Cavalry Guards all moved directly.

When they saw King Zhou's guards open again, the people and merchants along the way were frightened and hurriedly got out of the way.

Since King Zhou arrived in Hengyang, what he did was almost known all over the city.

It's just that after he came, he was busy raiding his house and arresting all kinds of village bullies.

This also made him unable to justify his name for a while.

But Zhu Hu didn't care about these at this time.

Because he knew very well that he was just doing the cleaning work now.

Once the pickles are cleaned up, everything will slowly get better.

"Fence everyone up!"

When Zhu Hu and his people came to Hengyang City, looking at the people kneeling on the ground, he directly ordered the guards to surround everyone in the middle.

And those people who had just come to shout grievances saw the bright spears and black guns of Zhu Hu's guards at this time.

Hundreds of people couldn't help but stir for a while.

It's just that before they could make a move, Zhu Hu had already jumped off the war horse.

Subsequently, a wooden megaphone was taken from the hands of the attendant.

This thing was also prepared by Chu Ze for him in advance.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Don't get excited, so many people get together, it's easy to stampede, everyone obeys my orders, gets up slowly, and then squats on the spot! ”

"Now, I count to three, and then everyone gets up together, I am Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou in the Ming Dynasty, and I came today to definitely not trouble you, but to solve the problem for everyone!"

"All soldiers, put away their weapons, and do not injure the people by mistake, and all the people must not make a disturbance. Now: one, two, three, get up! ”

With the blessing of the loudspeaker, Zhu Hu's already loud voice, coupled with the bright blades in the hands of the soldiers around him, instantly became the best tool to maintain order.

And after Zhu Hu's slogan sounded, the people who originally came to shout grievances slowly stood up from the ground under Zhu Hu's command.

And after Zhu Hu saw this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a slight smile.

"Now, everyone obeys my orders and slowly squats down, now that there are so many of you huddled together, if there is a riot, someone will be innocently trampled to death. So remember, it's for your safety. Don't get up without my orders, or I'll order him to be shot for the sake of the safety of the majority!" ”

"Remember, I'm not kidding you!"

The scene, which was originally quiet because of the sudden appearance of the armor, suddenly became a little riotous again because of Zhu Hu's shooting.

However, after discovering this sign, Zhu Hu hurriedly picked up the megaphone again and shouted.

"If you don't want to die, give me peace!"

This angry rebuke immediately made all the people shut up in unison.

They all looked at Zhu Hu with frightened faces.

The cruel name of this King of Zhou has now been completely spread in Hengyang City.

Killing people without blinking an eye or anything is no longer enough to describe him.

At this time, when they heard that Zhu Hu suddenly became angry, these people who had never seen anything in the world dared to move again.

One by one, they trembled and looked at the armor that had surrounded them.

His face was full of remorse and horror.

Originally, they came to complain outside the government office, thinking that the law would not be held accountable.

But when they were really surrounded by armor, fear slowly rose from the bottom of their hearts.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, you didn't tell me that before you came!"

After King Zhou suppressed everyone strongly, the old county commander of Hengyang City rushed over from the carriage out of breath.

When he saw the people who were directly surrounded by soldiers, he couldn't help but rush to Zhu Hu's side with an anxious face.

"Chu Lao, I respect your dedication to duty! But at this time, please don't make trouble, I will naturally abide by what I promised, but I also have a duty to do, and I ask you to cooperate. ”

Looking at the Hengyang County Commander who came with an anxious face, Zhu Hu glanced at the other party coldly, and then looked at the people who were squatting on the ground again.

"Someone is coming.. Bring things up! ”

Under Zhu Hu's order, several soldiers quickly moved the table to Zhu Hu, and then someone brought a thick stack of booklets.

After everything was ready to be in place, Zhu Hu gave a look to his subordinates on the side.

After Huiyi's subordinate nodded, he stood in front of the temporarily set table, took the megaphone in Zhu Hu's hand, and then picked up a booklet and began to read it.

"Hengyang City rich gentry, Liu Zhuqian, in Daliu Village, forcibly bought and sold 21 acres of land, respectively, Zhao Sijia in Daliu Village three acres of fertile land, forced to buy, occupied Zhao Si's wife and daughter, broke one of Zhao Si's legs, Zhao Si's wife and daughter jumped into the river to commit suicide. Daliu Village, Wang Sanjiu's family has three acres and seven points of land, and Niu Erdan's family has paddy fields."

"In addition to Daliu Village, it also forcibly occupied 15 acres of land in Xiaogegou Village. Thirty-seven acres of forest farm in Mushan Village. There are three fish ponds in Yuhe Village."

"The rich gentry of Hengyang City, Tan Xinghao, opened a green building, a casino, and used the casino as a guide to attract many people to gamble and owe debts, sell their property, and sell their wives and daughters to pay off their debts. and human trafficking"

"Hengyang City Rich Gentry"

With Zhu Hu's entourage, the thick and loud voice gradually read out, and the cases they interrogated and recorded gradually spread to the ears of the people below.

The crowd, which was still a little restless, fell silent at this time.

And some of the surrounding people who were hiding in the shadows and watching, also gradually gained courage to come out at this time.

One by one, they listened attentively to the sound of the reading outside the yamen.

The thick stack of pamphlets was read backwards by four or five people, and it took an hour for the reading to end.

And when the last booklet was read out, Zhu Hu took over the megaphone and let his men rest.

After wiping the saliva foam on the megaphone with a cloth soaked in spirits, Zhu Hu looked at the people gathered below again.

"I know, my Zhu Hu has a very bad reputation recently, because after I became the master of Hengyang City, I have been leading the team to attack everywhere. So some people rumored that I, the prince, came to Hengyang City to kill, burn and rob! ”

"However, the ones that I just read out are the targets of my Zhu Hu's killing! But dare to ask everyone, is it wrong for me Zhu Hu to kill these people? ”

"Don't they deserve to die?"

"The world is the world of my Ming Dynasty, and there is still a king law in this world! There is also heavenly justice, justice! ”

"These people are all evil-filled people! I, Zhu Hu, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, am for the people of my Ming Dynasty, not for these villains who only know how to oppress the township! ”

"I killed these people in order to give the world a bright future!"

"Of course, some people may say that I have collected the property and land of these people, so I can now tell you very responsibly that I did collect these lands!"

"And I won't return it to its owners, because after I return it to them, they can't keep these lands, and today they are occupied by bullies, and I can get them back, but tomorrow? Oh my? What if I'm gone? I don't know? ”

"Therefore, I will not return these lands to them, and in the future, these lands will belong to the Hengyang City Government! The court will be the master of these lands."

"And now, what I have to do is to lease these lands to these landless people in the name of the imperial court, remember that they are leased to you, and in the future, you will plant the land of the imperial court with peace of mind, pay the rent every year, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

"The lease of these lands, I will have people write the title deeds later, and the lease time is: forever!"

"As long as there are people in your clan alive, then these lands will always be leased to you."

"And once anyone dares to attack the idea of your land, you will give it to them, I will see which bully dares to come to the Daming Mansion to ask for the title deed!"

"Now, I will go and inform all the victims who have been read out earlier, and if there are any survivors in the family, they can come to my government office to report."

"If you have grievances, you can also come to my mansion to complain!"

"If you are afraid that you will not be able to keep your land, you can also take the initiative to come to the government to hand it over, and then sign the lease deed!"

"I, Zhu Hu, will be here every day for the next ten days, anyone who has any questions, can come to me to ask, if there is any violation of what I said today, I Zhu Hutian will hit five thunderstorms, and I will not die!"

"You are my people of the Ming Dynasty, and my Ming court is your backer!"

"Those who have violated the law and discipline selected before will be beheaded in three days and on the court!"

"The money and food seized will give priority to compensating those who have suffered, and it will be regarded as a small compensation for what I have suffered to them."

"In the past, it was my imperial court that neglected to supervise and caused a tragic disaster, and I, Zhu Hu, am here to apologize for the deceased!"

After Zhu Hu finished what he was going to say, he knelt down on one knee silently under the gaze of all the onlookers.

This move, not to mention that the people were stunned.

Even the surrounding armor was directly dumbfounded.
