Chapter 216: Eradicating Dissidents
In the study, Hu Wei looked at the list of spies he got from Chen Mengjie and was silent for a long time. Where is the fastest novel update?Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info a few hours have passed, and his angry heart has gradually calmed down, but this does not mean that he will let these people go. More than 100 people, mixed among officials at all levels, as long as they have any changes, it will bring disaster to Boryeong City.
Eradication of adultery is certain, and now what is in front of Hu Wei is when to do it. Do you wait for your descendant army of undead birds to come before you do it, or do it now.
When the Immortal Bird Legion comes, then it will take at least ten days. In the past ten days, will these spies receive the news and do something?
Don't wait for the Immortal Bird Legion, just use the Boryeong Army, will it cause any trouble. You must know that many of these spies have been officials in Boryeong for many years, and all kinds of relationships are intertwined, and even more, they may still have other people's handles in their hands, and once they do it, someone will definitely come out to intercede. Now I only have a few cronies in Boryeong. Once they unite, even if they are immortal, they are powerless to suppress them.
After all the calculations, the safest way is to wait for the arrival of the Immortal Bird Legion and then deal with these scheming matters. The order given to Hou San was a month, and now fifteen days have passed, and in another fifteen days, Hou San will definitely be able to arrive with the Immortal Bird Legion. At that time, there were three main battle divisions in their hands, and no one dared to act rashly.
But waiting for the arrival of the Immortal Bird Legion to deal with this spy problem will also have some troubles. That is, if the Immortal Bird Legion kills people when it first arrives, will it seem too murderous? Besides, is it true that the Immortal Bird must have a large number of soldiers by his side before he dares to act? Is it not that there are not a large number of soldiers around him, even if he knows that there are spies, he does not dare to do it?
Behind Hu Wei, a voice with a little bit of a little girl's unique coquettish voice sounded: "Master, why don't you go and help you solve it." ”
The one who spoke was Feng Yin, one of the four shadows of the night, and now Hu Wei was the only one in the study, and she didn't need to hide her body, so she stood behind Hu Wei.
Hu Wei turned his head to look at this sixteen-year-old girl with good parenting, and said with a smile: "How are you going to help me solve it?"
Feng Yin said as it should be, "Just kill them." They upset the young master, and they all deserve to die. ”
Feng Yin said this very simply, in her eyes, there was no one else except Hu Wei. She doesn't care about anyone's life or death. It may be a bit cold-blooded, but it's normal. You can't ask for too much affection from someone who has been living away from the crowd since birth until now. Because they haven't experienced that much affection with Ben. If as soon as she speaks, it is the suffering of the people and compassion for the people, then it is called abnormal.
Hu Wei patted himself on the shoulder and said, "Feng Yin, there are some things that you don't understand. Killing people is sometimes not that simple. There's a lot of stuff going on here. ”
Hu Wei patted himself on the shoulder, meaning to let Feng Yin help him rub his somewhat sore shoulder. Chen Mengjie's injury on his left shoulder is almost healed on the surface, but sometimes it is still a little unnatural. When Defu was training the Four Shadows of the Night, he considered their role as maids, so let them learn some of the faces that the maids should know, and the techniques of the Four Shadows were quite good. Especially when the four of them do it the same way, the feeling is really intoxicating.
Feng Yin leaned up very obediently, and gently rubbed Hu Wei with a pair of small hands. didn't press it twice, Hua Song, Xue Wai, and Yueming also leaned on Hu Wei's side respectively, and massaged the places that were not injuries. They knew that Hu Wei liked this feeling.
Feng Yin put Hu Wei's hand on his body, rubbed Hu Wei's left shoulder, and said, "Master, can you teach us how to get along with people." Our four sisters have been away from crowds since we were young, and we don't know a lot of things. ”
A few Hua Song also looked at Hu Wei. It is difficult for people who have not experienced their kind of growth path to understand the panic in their hearts about interpersonal communication. In addition to being close to Hu Wei, they don't know how to face other people. Invisibility, for them, in fact, is also a kind of hiding.
"Hmm. Hu Wei nodded slightly. For the four shadows, there is an indescribable feeling in his heart. is also a quadruplet, and the lives of the four daughters of Xuanri are very rich, each with their own strengths, and they have seen a lot of the world. The Four Shadows are as simple as a blank sheet of paper, although they have a special ability that others do not have, but more often, they are like children, there are too many things that they don't know.
Seeing Hu Wei nodding, the four shadows all showed excited smiles. Humans are social animals, and it is human nature to communicate with people. They also want to be part of the world, not just a spectator.
Hu Wei sorted out his thoughts and said, "I'll tell you a story." In the future, as long as I have time, I will tell you a story every day. You can learn from the stories what you need. ”
In the study, there is only Hu Wei's voice, and the story in his mouth is actually about his own upbringing. His life is only a short 22 years now, but the wonderful things he has experienced are things that many people have never experienced in their lifetimes.
Stories can educate people, and often reflecting on one's past can make oneself more clear. When Hu Wei was teaching Fengyin the four of them how to behave in a way, he gradually came out of the situation of suffering from gains and losses, and he found a way to deal with spies - killing.
There aren't so many things to look ahead to. In front of the people before, what was shown was the side of humility and love for the people, and the indiscriminate use of heavy canons and inappropriate expressions showed their ruthless side, so there will be more similar situations in the future. As for those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, let them jump out.
There are still many unstable factors in Baoning, and since there is this opportunity, then it might as well be solved together.
The next day, Hu Wei issued a conscription order, and among the citizens of Boryeong, 10,000 troops were conscripted. These soldiers are called Bing Yong, and they are counted as reserve soldiers of the Immortal Bird Legion.
Hu Wei has thought about it, the problem of spies can't wait for the Immortal Bird Legion to come and deal with it. There are still 200,000 enemy troops outside the city, and if they come to wreak havoc, they will make a big mess. And in order to defend the officials in the city, secretly ** each other, Hu Wei decided that this time, he would use the people of the city to do this without the soldiers of the original fort Ning City.
With Hu Wei's prestige in Baoning, it is not too difficult to recruit 10,000 soldiers. Even if it wasn't the soldiers of the Immortal Bird Legion this time, it was still a stream. In just one day, 10,000 soldiers have been recruited.
These 10,000 soldiers are all good strong men in the previous Baoning War. The eyes of the people are bright, and who is good and who is not, as long as you ask a few more people, you can know. This fort is rather their home, where their wives and children live. Whether they love the Mandala Empire or not is not necessarily, but for Bao Ning, they have love. Therefore, this 10,000 soldiers are brave, and there is absolutely no problem in loyalty.
Because there were still 200,000 troops outside the city, Hu Wei's conscription did not arouse the alarm of some people. No one would have thought that in such an environment, Hu Wei would actually carry out a purge.
Although the 10,000 soldiers were not trained, they were all courageous people, and they also had an extreme fanaticism for Hu Wei. Hu Wei gathered them, and after a brief lecture, he gave them a list of spies that he had already copied.
At the sound of the order, the entire Bao Ning moved.
"Young marshal, the 2o8 people on the list, except for three who committed suicide, were all arrested. Xuan Ri reported to Hu Wei.
Chen Mengjie's list of Hu Wei is obviously more than 100, how did it become 2o8 people? The rest were naturally added by Hu Wei.
During this time, Hu Wei often walked around among the people and listened to many people's complaints. These dozens of extra people are all officials who have bullied the people in ordinary times. The first is Huang Zutong, who is at the regular meeting, and Hu Wei does not deal with it. When the former city guard built the new city lord's mansion, Huang Zutong forcibly expropriated the land of the people, forcibly demolished the people's houses, and wantonly collected money. This time, he did not appear in Chen Mengjie's list, but Hu Wei decided to treat him as a spy.
"Good. Hu Wei nodded with satisfaction, he was very satisfied with this action. These soldiers are brave, and they really have the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Much stronger than the city defenders. It seems that choosing to use them is a good decision.
Seeing Wu Xuewen's thoughtful expression, Hu Wei couldn't help asking, "Wu Xuewen, do you think there is any problem?"
Wu Xue asked, "Young marshal." I was thinking, it would be a big project to arrest so many people at once, and to interrogate them. And the people in charge of interrogation are familiar with them, so I'm afraid there will be something wrong with it. ”
Hu Wei smiled secretly in his heart: This Wu Xue is good at everything, but he is a bit of a nerd, sometimes he doesn't know how to be flexible, and he likes to follow the program. This is his strength, but it is also his weakness. His set, in peacetime, is very good, but at this time, it is somewhat redundant.
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "You don't need a headache in this matter, I don't plan to interrogate them." ”
"No trial?" Wu Xuewen was stunned for a moment and asked, "The young marshal plans to lock them up first?"
Hu Wei said: "This castle would rather not have so much food to feed them, and kill them directly." ”
"Kill the head" Wu Xuewen's face changed.
Hu Wei snorted coldly and asked, "These people collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, shouldn't they be killed?"
Wu Xue asked: "The words are good, the sentence is dead, then there is nothing to say." However, the young marshal sentenced these more than 200 people to death based on Chen Mengjie's list, will it be a bit arbitrary. I'm afraid that there will be a mistake in this."
Hu Wei was silent for a while, got up and came to Wu Xuewen's side, patted Wu Xuewen on the shoulder, and said: "Now is an extraordinary time, extraordinary times do extraordinary things, leaving one person, leaving a hidden danger, it is better to kill by mistake than misplaced." ”
Wu Xuewen is also a smart person, and he instantly understood the meaning of Hu Wei. He knew that Hu Wei's move was a plan to kill many birds with one stone. Among these 2o8 people, not all of them are spies. Hu Wei wants to use this name to eliminate the spies and destroy those who hinder the development of Bao Ning.
Although the quick knife cuts through the mess, although the method of worrying is a little ruthless, it is definitely beneficial to the future exhibition of Baoning. Although Wu Xuewen felt that Hu Wei's approach was a bit excessive, he did not object to it.
As soon as Wu Xuewen's words fell, Du Changwei hurriedly trotted all the way in. hurriedly saluted and asked, "Young marshal, I heard that you ordered the arrest of more than 200 spies?"
Hu Wei saw that Du Changwei was in such a hurry, and said in his heart that there were his close friends among these people, so he hurried to intercede.
When Hu Wei thought of this, a trace of unhappiness rose in his heart, but he didn't show it. Let go of the chair and say, "Master Du, don't worry, if there is anything, talk about it slowly." Na Yue, serve tea to Lord Du. ”
Du Changwei thanked him, took a few breaths and said: "After the young marshal came to Baoning, he did a series of things, resisting the enemy army externally and reassuring the people's hearts internally, which were very good. The old man also admired it. Du Changwei said this, took a breath, and continued: "But now when the Three Kingdoms Alliance is besieging the city, the young marshal has captured 2o8 people among the soldiers and civilians at once, which doesn't seem appropriate."
Don't say anything else, let's just talk about Huang Zutong. Although this man is a domineering man, when the enemy army attacked the city, he also made great efforts. At that time, there was a danger in Dongcheng, and it was he who personally led the soldiers into battle to eliminate the danger, and it should be unlikely that he could be a spy, so there would be any misunderstanding in this. ”
Hu Wei glanced at Du Changwei coldly, he had guessed that Du Changwei must have come to intercede. But he never thought that Du Changwei actually came to intercede for Huang Zutong. This old guy, no wonder he is not treated well in the imperial capital circle. It's so pedantic that I don't know how to use the form at all.
Yes, Huang Zutong is indeed not on Chen Mengjie's list, but this person, who has been a town guard in Baoning for more than 20 years, has very complicated relationships and a very bad reputation among the people. Leaving this person behind will definitely be a great disadvantage to Baoning's exhibition in the future.
Now that I have a chance, if I don't get rid of him, it will be very difficult to get rid of him in the future. He had a heavy army in his hands and had many connections with the noble merchants in the city. In addition, Du Changwei said that Huang Zutong was in the defense of the city this time, and his appearance was very good. If such a person is not killed now, after the enemy retreats, can he still be killed? Master, this is paving the way for you to better manage Boryeong in the future. Can't you even see something so simple?
Hu Wei forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, turned to Xuan Ri and said, "You go and bring the pleadings handed by the people." ”
The sun was gone, and a few minutes later, he came back with a stack of books. These are all Hu Wei's worries when he came into contact with the people, and the people gave Hu worries.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs, although Hu Wei didn't check all the things recorded in the pleadings, he knew that there must be something wrong with this Huang Zutong.
The common people have always been the kindest group of people, they are not forced to do such a thing. Moreover, it was not one or two people who handed over such a pleading. There are nearly 50 of these in the hands of Guangxuanri, and there are more than 200 people who have signed with their real names. Isn't that enough?
Hu Wei has always known that if you want to investigate the problems of some officials, you don't need any official government, as long as you go to the people and ask the people, then you will know everything. Although they are weak, their hearts are the same as Spiegel, and they are not so easy to deceive.
Du Changwei took the pleadings handed over by Xuanri, only read a few letters, and put them down. He shook his head, sighed, and said, "I have heard about the things in this book. I once sent someone to investigate in secret, and I also learned that some of these things are indeed true. But Huang Zutong did not sentence the country, and the young marshal ordered him to be a traitor and collaborator with the enemy, is it not inappropriate. ”
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "Master Du, there is nothing wrong with this. The common people and the treason and collaboration with the enemy are both acts of the people who endanger the empire and the people, although the charges are different, in fact they are the same thing.
You don't need to say anything about it, I've already made up my mind. Doing so will be good for Bao Ning and for the people. The people will only praise, and there will be no complaint. ”
Du Changwei asked: "Then what does the young marshal plan to do with Huang Zutong." ”
Hu Wei said coldly: "Treason and collaboration with the enemy, there is no forgiveness for killing"
Du Changwei knew that Hu Wei's decision was irreversible, but he still asked with some worry: "What if Huang Zu and his men rebelled?"
Hu Wei sneered and said, "If they dare, let them try." ”
The execution was presided over by Hu Wei himself, and the location chosen was the most lively East Cross Street in Baoning. More than 200 prisoners lined up and knelt on the street, and the scene was very spectacular. I believe that many people will never forget that scene for the rest of their lives.
Seeing Huang Zutong also kneeling at the execution ground, the crowd burst into cheers, and the people all clapped their hands and ran to tell each other. As for whether Huang Zutong is a collaborator or not, they don't care about it.
"Kill"
After Hu Wei read out the crime, he threw out the golden order of the immortal bird in his right hand, and 2o8 knives and axes that had already been prepared, and at the same time, he sprayed strong liquor on the steel knife in his hand, and the knife fell in his hand, and the blood flowers stained the long street red.
Within one day, 2o8 heads fell to the ground, which surprised the entire military and civilians of Baoning. Many people are only now revealed, and the young marshal who is always happy among the common people has his ruthless side.
Later generations of historians have criticized Hu Wei's practice of killing without trial. But they also have to admit that they are born in troubled times, and only by doing so can they solve the problem best and the fastest.
The 2o8 human head fell to the ground, which means that there are not as simple as 2o8 people dying. The death of more than 200 people has brought a direct benefit to Hu Wei, that is, there is no opposition from this Bao Ning. One of his commands can be passed unimpeded.
