Great Tang Southern Emperor

Someone hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, stop arguing, the Lord is here, folks, are everything ready?"

"Don't worry, it's already ready."

"The quantity is enough for them to eat a pot."

"I didn't find any bad ones, but I'm going to fight today, so I'll greet them with good ones."

"Hey, how about we compare, who has the most points? How about treating the loser to dinner?"

"Okay, I bet you."

"Add me."

Someone next to him said impatiently: "I told you to stop talking, okay? Didn't you see that the county magistrate wants to talk?"

"Oh." Everyone quickly shut up.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene became a little quieter, Liu Yicai stood on a high platform and said loudly: "Fathers and folks in Zhenyang County, I think everyone has already answered what identity I am, yes, I am Liu Yi, and I am hereby ordered by His Royal Highness King Yue , to take over the post of county magistrate of Zhenyang County. But I did not expect that this Zhenyang County is far from being as peaceful and beautiful as I imagined. Instead, bandits are everywhere and bullies are rampant. Later, I was harassed by nearly ten groups of bandits. At first, I thought it was because Zhenyang was poor and the people could not survive, so they blocked the way, but I didn’t expect to find it in their lair when I wiped out a group of bandits. took this"

Taking out a stack of envelopes and shaking them in front of him, Liu Yi continued: "There is nothing in it, the only content is the correspondence between the bandit leader and a certain big family in Zhenyang County, and the content is how they colluded with each other. , the big family provides weapons to the bandits, and how the bandits work together inside and outside to help the big family intercept passing merchants and even competitors."

"Wow!" At this point, there was another uproar in the audience, and everyone was talking about it.

"Is this talking about the Lin family?"

"Nonsense, anyone with a discerning eye can hear it."

"I really didn't expect that the Lin family not only bullied and bullied the market, but also colluded with bandits. This is a serious crime."

"They don't want to live alone in this family."

"By the way, a batch of goods from Zhangji Silk and Satin Shop on Carrot Street was robbed last month. Could it be the Lin family who did it?"

"It's possible that what you said is true. Last month, the Lin family just opened a new silk and satin shop on Carrot Street. As a result, Zhang Ji's goods were robbed three days later. If there is nothing about the Lin family here, a fool would not believe it. .”

"Silence! Silence!" Seeing the commotion in the audience again, the young army who played the guest role of the yamen servant immediately rang the gong: "Listen to the magistrate to continue."

"After I got the letter, I ran directly to the Lin family, and happened to run into the Lin family's dealings with the former county magistrate Xu Guozhang." Liu Yi said everything he had done during this period, and finally said: "Just this morning, the last A key criminal has been arrested, and their criminal evidence has been collected. Come here, read it to the fathers and villagers, and let the fathers and villagers see what these officials have done over the years."

"Yes." Lu Bin, who was a temporary guest teacher, immediately took out a file and read: "The criminal officer Xu Guozhang, a native of Liangzhou, Shannan Road, became the magistrate of Zhenyang County in the sixth year of Zhenguan, and he did nothing as an official for ten years, full of crimes. .

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, when Zhenyang was flooded, Xu Guozhang reported that the relief food distributed by the Yuezhou government was plundered by the barbarians, causing countless people to starve to death. According to our investigation, it was actually done by himself and the Lin family, a big family in Zhenyang;

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the son of the Panyu County Magistrate and his friends came to Zhenyang to hunt, and accidentally shot and killed Zhang Da, a villager in Haozhuang Village, Zhenyang County. After going up and down, Xu Guozhang received a huge amount of money, not only dismissed the Zhang family's complaint, but also sent someone to break Zhang Da's son's leg, pissed off Zhang Da's wife, and his son was exposed on the street. "

When Lu Bin read this, in a certain corner of the street, a beggar burst into tears, with a gleam of hatred in his eyes.

Lu Bin's reading continued: "In the summer of the seventh year of Zhenguan, Xu Guozhang colluded with local bandits to rob a sum of tax money passing by Zhenyang to no avail. For ten miles, countless mountains and forests along the way were burned, and the farmland was useless."

"In the autumn of the seventh year of Zhenguan, Lin Hu, the son of the Lin family in Zhenyang County, had a dispute with the vegetable vendor during the purchase of vegetables and beat him to death. However, under the protection of the Lin family, Xu Guozhang rejected the petition of the vegetable vendor's family. The vegetable vendor refused to accept it. I wanted to go to Yuezhou to appeal, but I never returned, and there was no more news. According to our investigation and the correspondence between the two, the family should have been silenced."

"In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Xu Guozhang, together with officials of all sizes in Zhenyang County, opened the county government treasury, took away the gold and silver in it, added lead and recast it, and made no profit."

"In the winter of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Xu Guozhang falsely spread the imperial decree and levied a huge heating tax on the people"

"In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Wu Younian, a scholar from Zhenyang County, offended Xu Guozhang. Xu Guozhang sent his confidant Li Erhei to beat him to serious injury. He died a month later. The Wu family had no way to appeal and was afraid of retaliation, so they had to move out of Zhenyang County."

"In the winter of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Xu Guozhang beat Hu's father to death in order to marry Hu's daughter from Huainan Village, and sent Hu's fiancé into the army."

Xu Guozhang's crimes are really too many. Lu Bin read it for a quarter of an hour. There are no less than fifty crimes for human life alone. The rest are like corruption or causing serious injury and disability. , Lu Bin's hands began to tremble, and his voice became more and more high-pitched-this is just Xu Guozhang, how bad are so many officials in Zhenyang County?

The people in Zhenyang County also changed from being excited at the beginning to being as quiet as they are now. Later, no one spoke in the whole street, but stared at Xu Guozhang with angry eyes, eager to drink Its blood, eat its flesh.

Chapter 326 The Madman

Chapter 100 Madman

"Lu Lie, Dian Shi of Zhenyang County, in the sixth year of Zhenguan, forcibly robbed [-] acres of good land from the wealthy Liu family in Zhouding Village, killed the owner of the Liu family, and forcibly seized the women of the people;

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, he wanted to seize the widow Wu Huang's family in the city, but Wu Huang's family refused to obey, strangled her to death during the resistance, burned the house and destroyed the body and wiped out all traces;

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, he falsely accused Qian's restaurant of using dead meat and forcibly occupied the Qian's restaurant;

"Nine Years of Zhenguan"

"Huang Dang was arrested in Zhenyang County. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, there were thieves in the city. Instead of catching the thief, Huang Dang framed the thief Liu Kaiwei from the blacksmith shop in the west of the street, put him in prison, beat him into a trick, and forcibly seized Liu Kai's family heirloom sword;

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, he was drunk and forced his way into the home of Bai Yong, a commoner, hacked to death Bai Yongji's son Baihui, raped and murdered his wife Bai Lushi, and threw his family into a well afterward, destroying the corpses and destroying all traces;

"Seven Years of Zhenguan"

When Lu Bin read this, the people in the audience were completely mad, and they were about to attack the prison car.

"Stop reading, start parading now." Seeing that the people were in a bad mood, Liu Yi interrupted Lu Bin decisively, and directly ordered the parade to start.

"Brother, will you be parading in the street at this time?" Zhu Yuming couldn't help shrinking his neck when he saw the eyes of the Bai surnames in the audience. Now is the time when the public's anger is the greatest. Put it among the common people, can they still end up well?

"It's okay, just order the soldiers to take strict care." Liu Yi said with deep meaning: "I mainly want to see how hateful these people are in the eyes of the common people."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yi didn't explain too much, just said: "You will know later."

Lu Bin next to him changed his expression, and he was stunned, but he didn't confirm it to Liu Yi, as he said, he would know later.

"Gollum!"

The heavy prison cart began to move slowly, and the people watching were all ready. The prison cart quickly left the range of the high platform and came to the street.

And it was at this time that he suddenly heard a voice: "Kill 'Xu Guozhang'."

"Hula."

I saw countless objects rising into the sky, densely covering the sky, and quickly smashing towards the prison car.

"Crack crackle crackle!"

Taking a closer look, there are countless rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, leaves and dirt. The original novelty prison car seems to have changed its color instantly, like opening a paint shop. The red, white, yellow and green have completely changed. As for the cars in the car The prisoners were even more embarrassed. Xu Guozhang, who was the main target of the attack, was even covered in rotten vegetable leaves, and with egg liquid as the adhesive, Xu Guozhang was no longer an ordinary Xu Guozhang, but a green version of Xu Guozhang.

"Pfft!" Liu Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw the miserable images of the people in the prison car, but he managed to hold back, and said in a low voice, "This is what happens to corrupt officials."

Zhu Yuming said solemnly: "Brother, you should be more careful. According to our information, it's not just ordinary people who came here today. Most of the people who were harmed by these dog officials in the past, as long as there were people alive, came here." Now, these people are all unstable factors, no one knows what kind of thoughts they have, and if there is a riot, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable."

Zheng Yuan also said: "Yes, with so many people, it would be bad if it caused a trampling incident."

"I have prepared for this matter." Liu Yi's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "The common people are still very sensible. As long as we guide them carefully, even if the common people riot, nothing will happen."

"Are you sure that just a few dozen people like you can guide nearly ten thousand people?" Lu Bin did not believe Liu Yi's explanation, and asked, "What are you thinking? What do you want to do? Now the county is close enough Ten thousand people, but we only have more than 200 people in our hands, and there are only dozens of people at the scene, and dozens of people are against [-], even if you can guide them, how many people can you guide them?"
