Chapter 124: Cleanup
"Traitor!"
"Traitor!"
"Murderer!"
"..."
The next morning, Zhang Kang was taken from prison to a prison van. Read
When the prison van appeared on the streets of Yancheng, the people immediately ran to tell each other, and the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Soon, the streets were full of people.
These people shouted and cursed while throwing stones, sticks, and rotten vegetable stalks in their hands at Zhang Kang.
They hated 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 the King of Yan would not touch the Zhang family. '
They thought that the King of Yan was afraid of the Zhang family and didn't dare to control the Zhang family.
Unexpectedly, after the war, the King of Yan took down the Zhang family.
And they had been looking forward to the day when Zhang Kang was executed for too long.
"Go to hell!"
"Yan County is finally clean."
"God has eyes, the King of Yan saved us."
"..."
In the prison van, Zhang Kang's head was hit and bleeding, he smiled, but his smile was miserable.
Once upon a time, these people would retreat to the sides of the road and salute him when they saw him.
But now, they were throwing stones at him one by one.
Their eyes looked like they wanted to eat him.
There were many prison cars behind Zhang Kang, and they were all Zhang family members.
The people did not spare them and threw the things in their hands at them.
Arrived at the East Market Execution Ground.
The jailer took Zhang Kang and others to the execution platform.
On the execution platform, Zhao Xu and Liu Fu had been waiting for some time.
Just like when he dealt with the Huang and Du families, Zhao Xu did not execute the execution immediately, but asked the people to come forward and denounce the crimes committed by the Zhang family and others.
This was to let the people vent their grievances.
After more than ten people went on stage to complain about their grievances.
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 will of the people. It shows how much the people of Yan County hate the Zhang family. Today, Your Highness will execute Zhang Kang. The people will support Your Highness wholeheartedly in the future and thank Your Highness for his revenge."
Zhao Xu nodded, picked up the command arrow, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Execute!"
On the execution platform, Zhang Kang trembled all over when he heard the words, and fainted on the ground.
But the executioner did not stop the execution.
The long sword was raised, and Zhang Kang's head rolled on the ground.
"Good!"
"Good kill!"
"..."
The people were boiling and cheering loudly.
The Zhang family, who had been doing evil in Yan County for many years, finally received the punishment they deserved today.
In the crowd, some people even shed tears, and the suffering was finally over.
They will move towards a better future under the leadership of the King of Yan.
I don't know who shouted, "Long live His Highness the King of Yan."
Then, like a volcanic eruption, the people in the audience shouted in unison.
"Long live the King of Yan."
"Long live the King of Yan!"
"..."
Zhao Xu stood up, and his heart was filled with ripples.
These are the people of Dasong. His wishes are very simple. Whoever treats them well, they will loyally support.
Liu Fu looked at Zhao Xu with a smile and said, "Your Highness, from today, Yan County will truly belong to you."
"Yes, finally Yan County is no longer constrained." Zhao Xu said. He had endured Zhang Kang for so long and almost died several times. Isn't it for today?
Yan County, his fiefdom, finally returned to his hands.
Turning down the observation platform, he and Liu Fu left the execution ground amid the cheers of the people.
The Zhang family was destroyed, and the palace's governance of Yan County would no longer be hindered.
And the confiscated Zhang family's land also needs to be redistributed.
So, he needs to discuss with Liu Fu and issue the first decree covering Yan County since he came to Yan County.
Return to the palace.
Zhao Xu and Liu Fu arrived at the meeting hall.
He said, "In the next two days, you will issue my first decree through the government office. First, measure the land in the whole county from now on. Second, check the number of households and population in the whole county, and redistribute the land based on these two things."
"I was just going to tell your Highness about this. Your Highness really thinks ahead of me in everything." Liu Fu laughed.
He was in a particularly relaxed mood.
The last noble family that occupied the land in Yan County was destroyed, and the northern barbarians were also driven away.
Now the position of the palace in Yan County is unique.
Zhao Xu was also in a good mood, and he was flattered by Liu Fu.
He continued, "In addition, you will write the key points of the government office's next decree for me in the next two days. I will check for omissions and fill in the gaps for you, and then implement them one by one."
"Yes, your Highness." Liu Fu put away his smile.
This matter is a test of his talent. It seems that he can't sleep these two nights, and he has to do it well even if he stays up all night.
"And those officials who are fickle." Zhao Xu reminded again.
A sharp light flashed in Liu Fu's eyes, "Don't worry, Your Highness."
In the next two days.
The people of Yancheng suddenly found a large number of soldiers entering and leaving various residential quarters, and officials were taken away from their homes from time to time.
And the army was even more restless, with dozens of generals detained and awaiting trial.
After the people and soldiers inquired, they realized that these people had betrayed the King of Yan when rumors were flying all over the sky.
The worries in their hearts dissipated, and they secretly cheered.
These conscienceless things betrayed the King of Yan, which was equivalent to betraying the people of Yan County.
"Master Li, please."
When seeing the soldiers enter the courtyard, the official surnamed Li looked ashen.
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 officialdom of Yancheng.
When Yuan Li left, he thought he would come back in two days.
As a result, when the news came that King Yan's death was just a rumor, he immediately knew that he was dead.
Sure enough, his captors came anyway.
Facing the soldiers who were armed to the teeth, he did not dare to resist. He was put in shackles and taken to the government prison.
…
Palace, study.
"Your Highness, the soldiers who reported this and the people on the list will all be arrested."
"All the government officials have also been eliminated," Liu Fu said.
Zhao Xu was drawing something and nodded when he heard this.
This time, in addition to the revelations between officials and generals, there was also a list provided by Yan Wei.
On this list are not only officials from Yancheng, but also officials from the county seat.
After all, Yan Wei's tentacles have now reached every place in Yan County.
"That's good. I can't tolerate those who fall on both sides of the fence." Zhao Xu stopped writing, "Don't be soft. Kill those who deserve to be killed. Those who deserve to be imprisoned for life will be imprisoned for life."
Yan County is already at a disadvantage in Yanzhou. If the officials under his command still have different aspirations, he is afraid of internal chaos at the critical moment.
Therefore, this time he would like to thank Yuan Li.
Without this assassination, he would not have been able to clean up the door.
These people will be buried around you like time bombs.
He exhaled softly, feeling more relaxed than ever before. The external and internal troubles were finally settled.
However, after all this work, it's time to give an explanation to the soldiers.
He asked Chang Wei: "Are the ceremonies to commemorate the fallen soldiers ready?"
