Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 123
[Chapter 123 Purge]
“Traitor!”
“Traitor!”
“Murderer!”
“…” The
next day, in the morning, Zhang Kang was taken from the prison to the prison van.
When the prison cart appeared on the streets of Yancheng, the people immediately rushed to tell each other, and the news spread from ten to hundreds.
After a while, the two sides of the street were full of people.
While yelling and cursing, these people threw stones, sticks, and rotten vegetables at Zhang Kang.
They hate the Zhang family so much.
When the Du and Huang families fell, they thought it would be the Zhang family’s turn soon, but they didn’t expect that King Yan would not move the Zhang family for a long time. ’
They thought that King Yan was afraid of the Zhang family and dared not manage the Zhang family.
Unexpectedly, after the war, King Yan took the Zhang family down.
And they had been looking forward to Zhang Kang’s execution for too long.
“Go to hell!”
“Yan County is finally clean.”
“Heaven has eyes, King Yan saved us.”
“…” On the
prison car, Zhang Kang’s head was smashed out of blood, he smiled, but Laughing miserably.
Once upon a time, when these people saw him, they would retreat to both sides of the road and salute him.
But now they are throwing stones at him one by one.
Their eyes looked like they wanted to eat him.
There are many prison cars behind Zhang Kang, all of them are children of the Zhang family.
The people didn’t spare them either, and slammed the things in their hands at them.
Arrived at Dongshi Execution Ground.
The jailer put Zhang Kang and others on the execution platform.
On the execution platform, Zhao Xu and Liu Fu had already waited for a while.
Just like how he dealt with the Huang and Du families, Zhao Xu did not execute the sentence immediately, but asked the people to come forward and denounce the crimes committed by the Zhang family and others.
This is to let the people vent their grievances.
After more than a dozen common people came to the stage to complain about their grievances angrily.
The people in the audience suddenly shouted in unison.
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him…”
Seeing this, Liu Fu said to Zhao Xu: “Your Highness, this is the hearts of the people, which shows how much the people of Yan County hate the Zhang family. I will wholeheartedly support His Highness, and thank His Highness for his revenge.”
Zhao Xu nodded, picked up the command arrow, threw it on the ground, and said loudly: “Execution!” On the execution
platform, Zhang Kang trembled and fell to the ground immediately. .
But the swordsman did not stop the execution.
The long knife was raised, and Zhang Kang’s head rolled to the ground.
“Good!”
“Good kill!”
“…” The common
people erupted and cheered loudly.
The Zhang family, who have been doing evil in Yan County for many years, finally received their due punishment today.
In the crowd, some people even shed tears, and the suffering finally passed.
Under the leadership of King Yan, they will move towards a better future.
I don’t know who shouted, “His Highness King Yan is a thousand years old.”
Then, like a volcanic eruption, the people in the audience shouted in unison.
“Thousands, the King of Yan.”
“Thousands, the King of Yan!”
“…”
Zhao Xu got up, and at this moment his heart was rippling.
This is the people of Dasong, his wish is very simple, whoever treats them well, they will loyally support him.
Liu Fu looked at Zhao Xu with a smile, and said, “Your Highness, starting today, Yan County will truly belong to you.”
“Yes, finally Yan County has no constraints.” Zhao Xu said, he endured Zhang Kang for so long, Almost died several times, isn’t it for today?
Yan County, his land, finally belonged to him.
Turning around and getting off the execution platform, he and Liu Fu left the execution ground amidst the cheers of the people.
The Zhang family is destroyed, and the palace will no longer hinder the administration of Yan County.
Moreover, the confiscated Zhang family’s acres also need to be redistributed.
Therefore, he needs to discuss with Liu Fu and issue his first decree throughout Yan County since he came to Yan County.
Back to the palace.
Zhao Xu and Liu Fu arrived at the meeting hall.
He said: “In the past two days, you will first issue the first decree of the king through the government office. First, measure the acres of land in the whole county from now on. Second, check the number of households and population in the county, and redistribute the land according to these two things.
” The official is about to discuss this matter with His Highness, His Highness really can consider everything before the next official.” Liu Fu giggled.
His mood was exceptionally relaxed.
The last noble family in Yan County who invaded the fields perished, and the Beidi people were also beaten away.
Now the palace has a unique position in Yan County.
Zhao Xu was also in a good mood, and was flattered by Liu Fu.
He continued: “Besides that, in the past two days, you will write out the essentials of the government’s next government order and show it to me, and I will check for omissions and fill in the gaps for you, and implement them in the same way afterwards.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Fu put away his smile.
This matter will test his talent. It seems that he will not want to sleep these two nights, and Bingzhu Dadan must do well.
“There are also those officials who see things differently and want to change.” Zhao Xu reminded again.
A sharp edge flashed in Liu Fu’s eyes, “Don’t worry, Your Highness.”
For the next two days.
The people of Yancheng suddenly found that a large number of soldiers were going in and out of various folk houses, and officials were taken away from their homes from time to time.
In the army, it was even more unrest. Dozens of generals were detained, awaiting trial.
After the people and soldiers inquired, they realized that these people had betrayed King Yan when rumors were flying all over the sky.
The worries in their hearts dissipated, and they secretly applauded.
These unconscionable things betrayed the King of Yan, which is equivalent to betraying the people of Yan County.
“Master Li, please.”
When he saw the soldiers entering the courtyard, the official surnamed Li was ashamed.
After Yuan Li arrived in Yancheng, he immediately ran to show his courtesy, but was blocked by soldiers.
This incident has already spread throughout the official circles of Yancheng.
When Yuan Li left, he thought he would come back in two days.
As a result, the news that King Yan’s death was just a rumor came, and he immediately knew that he was doomed.
Sure enough, his captors still came.
Facing the soldiers who were armed to the teeth, he dared not make any resistance, put on the shackles, and was taken to the government prison.
…
The palace, the study room.
“Your Highness, those who were reported by the soldiers and those on the list have all been arrested.”
“The government officials have also been purged,” Liu Fu said.
Zhao Xu was drawing something, and nodded upon hearing this.
This time, apart from the revelations between officials and generals, there was also the list provided by Yanwei.
There are not only officials from Yancheng on this list, but also officials from the county seat.
After all, Yanwei’s current tentacles have extended to every place in Yan County.
“That’s good. I can’t tolerate the grass on both sides of the wall in my eyes.” Zhao Xu stopped writing, “Don’t be soft, kill those who should be killed, and those who should be imprisoned for life. Imprisoned for life.”
Yan County was originally in Yanzhou. Being in a weak position, if the officials under his command still have different ambitions, he is afraid that internal chaos will arise at a critical moment.
Therefore, this time he would like to thank Yuan Li.
Without this assassination, he would not be able to clear the door.
These people will be buried around themselves like time bombs.
Gently exhaling, he was more relaxed than ever, and the external troubles and internal strife were finally settled.
However, after all these tasks are over, it is time to give the soldiers an explanation.
He said to Chang Wei: “Have you prepared the ceremony for paying homage to the soldiers who died in battle?”
