Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 226 Come and save me!

Just as the undercurrent was surging in Luoyang, Lanzhou, thousands of miles away, was also uneasy.

After more than ten days of interrogation, everyone from Lanzhou's governor Ge Hong to the county magistrates were wiped out.

Lanzhou, government office.

"Reporting to Prime Minister Fan, except for the fugitive Zhang Yu, the prisoner Ge Hong and other 300 officials have all confessed!"

"All the officers and soldiers who participated in the massacre of the villagers in Fengshi Village also signed their signatures. Will they be reported to the Ministry of Punishment for verification?"

Zhang Huan asked, clasping his fists.

"No need, I am also the envoy of Gannan Province and have the authority to deal with local military affairs."

"Execute them all!"

Fan Xin glanced at the densely packed names on the list, waved his ink pen, and a big cross appeared on the paper.

Even the candles are omitted.

Seeing this, the accompanying generals took a breath of cold air, with horror in their eyes.

Four thousand seven hundred lives!

It is a complex case that even the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have to consider repeatedly.

The prince of my country didn't even blink an eye and killed him as soon as he was told.

This killing was too decisive!

Although these crimes were extremely heinous and deserved to die, after all, they involved the army and the court, and ordinary officials would not dare to do this.

I am afraid that in the entire Zhou Dynasty, only the Duke of his own country dared to do so.

Zhang Huan suppressed the shock in his heart and cupped his fists.

"General Mo, go and prepare now."

In the afternoon of that day, the government posted the news of the execution of Lanzhou officials on the city wall.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the city. People spontaneously came to the streets to see with their own eyes whether it was the same as what was mentioned in the notice.

Soon a group of armored sergeants holding weapons walked in from the city gate.

Among them, a group of shackled prisoners moved slowly.

In addition to Ge Hong, several of the highest Lanzhou officials, these people also included a large number of local sergeants who participated in the massacre of the people.

Seeing the people gnashing their teeth and their eyes red, they threw the stones in their hands at their faces.

In recent years, they have been bullied by this gang of corrupt officials, but they dare not speak out because of Ge Hong's ability to control the sky.

Now it's better. The imperial court sent high-ranking officials to make decisions for the people, which finally gave them some relief.

After wiping away the rotten vegetable leaves on his face, Ge Hong stopped and looked at Fan Xin.

His expression was extremely complicated.

"Mr. Yan, I am worthy of my death due to the most serious disease. But have you ever thought about what will happen to you once the 4,700 lives are reported to the imperial court?"

"Tsk tsk, with one order more than four thousand heads fell to the ground."

"Back then, Junchen and Zhou Xing were not as ruthless as you."

Regarding Ge Hong's strange aura, Fan Xin said calmly.

"I always do things based on my heart. If I can't even kill animals like you who slaughter the people, what's the point of being an official?"

"Ge Hong, even if the King of Heaven comes today, you will die too!"

"No one can save you!"

As Fan Xin finished speaking, the sergeants standing along the street neatly raised their swords and pointed them at the more than 4,700 prisoners.

Ge Hongduo trembled all over and wanted to say something more, but finally closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

"cut!"

A cold light flashed, and 4,700 human heads rolled to the ground.

quiet!

Lanzhou Street, filled with tens of thousands of people, was silent. Everyone looked at the headless corpse on the ground with pale faces.

This was the first time they had seen so many heads since they were young.

After an unknown amount of time, the people who calmed down fell to their knees like wheat waves, crying with joy.

"Fan Qingtian, please accept your respects from me, the common people!"

As the people kowtowed, Fan Xin said to an accompanying guard.

"I will report the situation here to Fengge Luantai and His Majesty in a moment in my name."

"I implore them to exempt Lanzhou from taxes for ten years and provide compensation to the families of the victims."

The accompanying guards nodded and were about to retreat when a Qianniu Guard hurriedly came closer and whispered something into Fan Xin's ear.

Hearing this, his expression changed.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Back to Prime Minister Fan, when General Mo found him, a group of masked men were chasing him."

"Now you are lying in the camp recovering from your injuries. I urge you to find you as soon as possible."

Waving his hand to signal the Qianniu Guards to retreat, Fan Xin's expression turned gloomy.

His Majesty sent someone to look for him at this time. Something big must have happened.

What big thing could it be?

With a trace of doubt, Fan Xin rode a black wind horse and rushed towards the carriage house.

When he arrived at the place, he threw the reins directly to the guard and walked into the room.

Seeing him coming in, Liu Da's eyes lit up and he wanted to get up from the bed.

"You're seriously injured, it's better to lie down and answer."

Fan Xin frowned and said while holding Liu Da down.

"Who are you?"

Liu Da coughed with a pale face and covered his chest.

"Liu Da, a humble official, holds the position of Chief of the Cabinet of the Internal Guards. I have been ordered to deliver a secret letter to you."

As he spoke, he took out a bloody letter from his arms.

After inspecting the paint, Fan Xin opened the envelope and found only six words on it.

"Fan Xin, come and save me!

However, these six words filled Fan Xin's eyes with endless chill.

The expressions of everyone present changed.

"Okay, okay! I have just left Shendu for more than a month, and I can't wait to attack the emperor."

"It's really good!"

Feeling the cold murderous intent in Fan Xin's words, Zhang Huan bravely said.

"Xiang Fan, this is unlikely. Tu Xiong, Cao Wei, Jiang Ji and others control a hundred thousand troops in the capital. Who dares to do harm to His Majesty?"

Glancing at him, Fan Xin said coldly.

“No drop of rain is innocent when it rains.”

"Without their acquiescence, how could Wu Sansi control Luoyang, the divine capital?"

"They let me down so much!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Xiang Fan, are you saying that Jiang Ji and others betrayed you?"

To be honest, this news shocked the generals far more than the execution of local officials.

They are all confidants who were single-handedly promoted by Duke Yan. How can you say betrayal means betrayal?

"There's nothing strange about it. People die for money, and birds die for food. It's human nature to choose to gamble in order to gain a future."

"But they should never point the butcher knife at His Majesty!"

"I said that whoever touches him will die!"

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Fan Xin took a deep breath and turned around to face the generals.

"Where is General Zhang Huan of Jinwu Guard!"

"The general is here!"

"I order you to hold the Golden Dragon Sword and immediately send a message to General Wang Xiaojie, instructing him to lead the Anxi army back to King Duqin as soon as possible!"

"Other generals... I order you to go to the sixteen prefectures of Ying, Tan, Chong, Bing, Xiang, Xu, etc., and each of you will dispatch an army to the divine capital!"

All the generals clasped their fists together.

"Don't worry, General Manager, I will fight to the death to complete the mission!"

After finishing speaking, they mounted their horses and headed in their respective directions.

When there were only three people left in the room, Liuzi spoke.

"Master, you have mobilized more than 200,000 troops. Should we return to Youzhou next?"

"Of course, the army I trust most is in Youzhou."

"It's time for the rebels who control Luoyang to see the power of the Shenji Battalion!"

"Don't they want to attack the emperor? I will let him see the outcome of the coup!"
