Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Destruction of Connecticut
After all, Lu Heng still underestimated the thickness of the big family in Heyang County, and the extent of telling nonsense with his eyes open.
After the Fang family knelt down as a whole, the other Wen family, Li family, and Gao family were all personally represented by the head of the family, who came to express their apologies and thanks to Lu Heng, and also expressed their surrender.
Of course, the members of these families who are in charge of grain sales are all regarded as backbiters.
In the "Letter of Repentance" dedicated to Lu Heng, these people were all sprayed with blood.
What kind of disaster to the country and the people, the crime should be punished by heaven and other descriptions have come out.
In the end, all of these people "committed suicide in shame" one by one, and did not even have a chance to quibble.
Next, these big families took the initiative to get all the merchants in the county, and at the same time took the initiative to open their own granaries, and also sold them to the people at a price of 300 wen and one stone according to Lu Heng's pricing.
This whole set of processes can be described as smooth, from attitude to practice, from face to inside, there is nothing wrong with it.
There is no one with a hard head.
By the evening, everything in Heyang County had returned to normal, and the people, rich or poor, had bought the amount of grain they were satisfied with and returned home.
After this change, except for a few people killed by the Fang family, no one from the other forces was killed.
Well...... "suicide in shame" doesn't count.
County Yari.
Lu Heng looked at the mountains of gifts on the table, and his mood was quite complicated.
When he went to Fang's rice shop before, he was ready to kill the big family in Heyang County and bleed like a river.
After all, Fang Sheng's attitude was extremely tough before, making him think that these local big families were all empty snakes, and he would probably choose to be tough with him to the end.
I didn't expect it to be like this in the end.
"Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why the big family can be passed down for many years." Lu Heng felt a little emotion in his heart.
These big families can see very clearly that in this troubled world, money and food are important, but their own clansmen and foundation are the most important.
As long as it is not destroyed, as long as the family is still there, even if it is looted, there is a chance to earn it back in the future.
"The question now is, how do I quickly increase my mana next?" Lu Heng's brows furrowed slightly.
Now he was still a little short of the realm of Qi refining first-level mana perfection.
Originally, he planned that these big families would be hard-headed, and after he reaped a wave of hard work, the mana would naturally be complete, but he didn't expect it to end up in the current situation.
In this way, there is no way to harvest these big families for the time being.
However, there will still be opportunities in the future, and you can prepare for the second layer of qi refining.
"There is only one Cai Kang left, and one room is diving." Lu Heng's gaze turned and looked outside the county office, "After solving them, the mana should be complete, and you can prepare to break through the second layer of qi refining." ”
Fang Qian is still under house arrest at home, guarded by ghost soldier Yang Haichao, and Cai Kang has been thrown into prison.
During the day, Cai Kang probably felt that the situation was not quite right because he found that Yang Haichao had not come back for too long, so he decided to leave the city with thirty armor soldiers.
But before they arrived at the gate of the city, this group was intercepted by the Gao family, and after a battle, Cai Kang was captured, sent to the county office, and locked in a dungeon.
Just when Lu Heng was thinking about how to deal with these two people.
Han Tong ran over in a hurry, and shouted with a red face: "Lu Daxia, no, no, Lu Shenxian!" Great, great, there is really an extra 110,000 stone of grain in the regular closing position, how did you do it? This, this is really a living immortal! ”
In the afternoon, Lu Heng went to Changping alone, and after he came back, he asked Han Tong to take people to check the grain.
Before going, Han Tong was still a little skeptical.
After all, in such a short period of time, it doesn't look like too much food can be transported.
Moreover, after the turmoil of this day, it is estimated that there is no manpower to transport grain, and even the officials who often close the warehouse still think that the warehouse is empty.
This directly caused Han Tong to open the Changping position with a group of officials, and after seeing the mountains of hundreds of thousands of stone grains inside, he almost wondered if he was hallucinating.
So much grain actually appeared in Heyang County's Changping? !
You know, in the morning, it's still empty!
It's amazing!
Moreover, these sacks of grain are all clean and clean, all newly made and newly bagged, and they are obviously temporarily transferred.
This is nothing short of miraculous!
Han Tong and several of his subordinates, who had witnessed all this, had already worshiped Lu Heng as an immortal in their hearts.
If it weren't for the gods, how could they have created such miracles?
"It's just a gesture, it's nothing." Lu Heng shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "There will be grain delivered next, and the price of grain here will always be maintained at the level of three hundred Wen." ”
"Lu Dachivalry is really Bo Yuntian!" Han Tong bowed deeply to Lu Heng and thanked him from the bottom of his heart, "Han Tong thanked Lu Daxia for all the people in Heyang County." ”
"It doesn't have to be this way." Lu Heng waved his hand, and then said, "Just do the things in your hands, it's best to find a few right-hand men to help you deal with some affairs, and then you may have to take care of more county affairs." ”
"What does Lu Daxia mean?" Han Tong was puzzled.
"Heaven must not be divulged." Lu Heng smiled and didn't say it explicitly.
……
Early the next morning.
As soon as Han Tong arrived at the county office, he received a suicide note before he started work, the suicide note of the county commander Fang Qian.
In Fang Qian's suicide note, he explained that he and Zheng Han of the Iron Fist Gate quietly sold grain to the Assassin of Connecticut, and also explained the details of his vacancy and regular liquidation.
At the end of the suicide note, he said that he had committed a heinous crime and died innocently, so he committed suicide in fear of sin.
It's just that county affairs cannot be abolished, and the people's affairs need to be governed. So he implored Han Tong to know the county affairs with the right to be the main bookkeeper, and wait for the official or imperial court to grant it in the future, and then officially become the county order.
Han Tong looked at this suicide note, the whole person was dumbfounded, and muttered, "Quan Zhi county affairs, I am the chief secretary of the county from the ninth grade, and after concurrently serving as the county lieutenant and the county cheng, I will also serve as the county commander?!" ”
……
On the day when Lu Heng rectified Heyang County.
The county town of Qingde, far away in Connecticut, was breached.
This is the place of governance of the Assassin History of Connecticut, and when the city was broken, the Assassin History of Connecticut had been personally captured by Wang Tong, the envoy of the Zhaoyang Army.
Countless soldiers poured into the city, looting goods and insulting women with impunity.
Flames soon burned throughout the city, filling the streets with blood and corpses.
There was no general to stop these acts of the non-commissioned officers.
After all, these soldiers left their hometowns to work hard with the army, not for the ideal of serving the country loyally, but to earn more money and food, so that they could bring it back to support their families.
If the city is broken and the soldiers are not allowed to plunder, the morale of the army will be shattered, and the generals may be counterattacked.
However, looting is plundering, and the soldiers also know where not to go.
After the city was broken, the state government yamen and the county government had already been surrounded by a group of generals and soldiers, and the documents and canons inside were protected to the greatest extent, waiting for the arrival of Wang Tong, the envoy of the festival.
For the Jiedu envoys who want to expand their territory, these documents and canons are the most important things, allowing their officials to quickly take over the governance of the new territory.
The person who led the protection of the documents and canons was the marching Sima under Wang Tong, named Deng Ce.
After entering the yamen of the state capital, he first confessed to protect the documents and books, and then took people to the mansion of the Assassin of Connecticut to search the letters and documents in the house.
This is a task that Wang Tong has specially assigned.
Through these letters, we can find out who is selling grain to Connecticut.
Those endless grains increased the difficulty of the Zhaoyang army's siege and prolonged the combat time, which directly led to the trend of Pingzhou and Tongzhou next door to unite to resist the Zhaoyang army.
Wang Tong was extremely angry about this, and specially told Deng Ce that he must collect all the letters.
Don't leave anything out.
Even if there is no clear information in those letters, it is necessary to sort out some clues to facilitate the next interrogation of the Connecticut assassination.
As long as it is found out, the Zhaoyang Army must take the most brutal revenge!
……
Heyang County at night is peaceful and quiet, compared with Qingde County in Kangzhou, it is like two worlds.
Lu Heng came to the cell alone and saw Cai Kang, who was huddled in the corner of the cell, embarrassed.
The last time I saw him, I was on the banks of the Huaishui River.
At that time, this river canal man rode a tall horse, with armored soldiers, majestic, high, looking at the hard labor as if he was looking at a group of ants.
Lu Heng walked slowly to the prison door and asked with a smile, "Cai Hequ, do you remember me?" ”
