Chapter 138: The beetles break the trees
"Come here! Bring those soldiers who are oppressing the people to me!"
After receiving the order, Li Yunxing's bodyguard quickly took the soldiers under the command of the pavilion chief from several villagers into the courtyard.
The middle-aged man was following Li Yunxing, but when he saw him breaking into the county magistrate's house, he felt very uneasy. What if the magistrate got angry and killed him?
However, when he heard that Li Yunxing was the current prince, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
"Really...really His Highness the Crown Prince?" the strong man asked with a trembling voice.
The other soldiers were equally shocked.
They didn't expect that they would be able to meet Li Yunxing, the legendary Tianhuang nobleman?
You must know that he is the most noble royal bloodline in the Wu Dynasty!
How could he appear in a small county like theirs?
The guards nodded. Although they had just stayed on the bank to clean up the river sand, they didn't know what was happening above.
But judging from the previous words and deeds of the pavilion chief, the prince must be dissatisfied with these bastards who bully the people and dominate the market. Now that these guys are in the hands of His Royal Highness, they may not survive!
"Countrymen, I don't know when the rain will fall today. You should go to the city wall to take shelter. Tomorrow, His Royal Highness will summon the people to discuss the flood issue." The guard shouted loudly.
After hearing this, the onlookers dispersed one after another, and only the strong man whose hands and feet were tied and the few soldiers were escorted into the County Cheng's Mansion.
In the mansion, Li Yunxing, with a cold and serious expression, was seen sitting at the top of the table.
Behind him stood two rows of soldiers wearing black armor, all of whom were impressive. A dozen soldiers who had not recognized him as Prince Li Yunxing just now had their legs weak and fell to their knees, begging for mercy: "Prince, have mercy on me! Prince, have mercy on me."
ah!"
"In my whole life, I hate the most cunning and cunning people who bully the weak. As soldiers, you are supposed to protect the safety of the people, but you rely on your power to do such things to bully the people. How can I allow you to live in this world?" Li Yunxing scolded sternly.
road.
After His Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, the soldiers on his left and right immediately picked up these soldiers, and the other soldiers picked up their sabers and put them on their necks, and chopped off the opponent's head without hesitation.
A row of people fell down in one fell swoop!
Blood spurted out and splashed around, soaking the entire house in red.
"hiss--"
Seeing this, the soldiers who had been tied up couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The scene before my eyes was truly horrifying.
However, what makes them even more horrified is the style of these soldiers, which is almost like the devil!
Is this the wrath of the emperor?
It is indeed extraordinary and terrifying!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please forgive me! I will never dare to do this again!"
"Prince, spare your life, spare your life!"
The remaining five soldiers were so frightened that they shed tears and kowtowed to Li Yunxing desperately.
"It is truly a shame to the Wu Dynasty to commit such deeds of deceiving good and fearing evil. Death would not be a pity!"
"Prince, have mercy! Prince, have mercy! I was forced to do this by joining the army at Qianyue Mountain in Jingzhou. Your Highness, please spare my life! I am willing to serve in the flood to atone for my sins. Please let me go."
A way to survive!"
"Qianyue Mountain?" Li Yunxing frowned slightly.
When joining the army in Jingzhou, he ignored Su Tianyang.
The soldiers looked mournful: "Qian Shenjun asked us to come to this Zhijiang City to control the flood, but they didn't allocate a single cent of the disaster relief money to us. Where do we have the money to repair the dam?"
"But the flood was terrible, and we didn't dare to delay it. If the flood destroyed Zhijiang City, we would not be able to escape death. In the end, we had to come up with this strategy and let the people go to the swamps to cut grass and wrap the mud with grass to make it."
Use grass wrapped in mud to repair the dam."
Li Yunxing had given money to King Zhaoyang at that time, but he didn't expect that he would also use tricks to enrich his own pockets. It was hopeless.
It's just that these soldiers are even more naive and put all the blame on Qianyue Mountain. Do they think Li Yunxing will believe that as a subordinate, he only has the obligation to execute military orders?
Trying to fool Li Yunxing is simply a fool's errand.
"Then where does the ten cents you give the people every day come from?"
This time, they were left speechless. These ten cents...
"What?" Li Yunxing stared at everyone with sharp eyes like a hawk, "Are you speechless?"
Li Yunxing's tone was so majestic that people didn't dare to look at him and could only lower their heads and remain silent.
Seeing this, he raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "If beetles break the trees and destroy the walls, I will get rid of you moths and restore the purity of the Wu Dynasty!"
"On the way to the palace, I saw a porridge shack set up by the government at the city gate. It has not been opened for ten days!"
"At that time, I asked one of the government officials why they had not given out porridge in the past few days. What do you think the result was? The government official actually replied that no food had been delivered to Zhijiang City for ten days. If you hadn't been greedy,
, can this disaster relief food be able to grow its own legs and run away?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned pale with fear and trembled all over.
How could they have imagined that this matter would be revealed by His Highness the Crown Prince!
"A mere pavilion leader wears gold and jade around his waist, and wears embroidered shoes on his feet, but the people of Zhijiang City have to eat chaffy vegetables. Do you have a good conscience?"
After hearing these indignant accusations, the soldiers were so ashamed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Li Yun was so angry that he slapped the table with his big hand. The loud bang caused the whole room to fall into dead silence, and everyone was so frightened that even the sound of gasping disappeared.
"Drag them all out and kill them with sticks!"
Li Yunxing coldly ordered that such an ungrateful person should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your Highness, please spare your life!"
"Your Highness, please calm down. I will never do bad things again!"
"Please let me go! Please!"
Li Yunxing's eyebrows were cold, unmoved at all, and he spoke coldly: "You should have thought of this day when you were working for the tiger in Jingzhou!"
His tone was unreasonable, and when everyone saw this, they couldn't help but wailed in despair: "Your Highness the Crown Prince... have mercy on me! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Then, there were screams.
Before today, they were still "local snakes" who could walk around in Zhijiang City. Even the county magistrate Lin Qing had to treat them with respect. But unexpectedly, today the prince came in person, and their lives were at stake here.
Li Yunxing waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers behind him to drag all the corpses on the ground to the mass graves, so as not to stain his eyes by leaving them here.
At this time, the guard on the side whispered, "Your Highness, Qian Shenjun is still serving in Jingzhou. If he knows that the prince has arrived in Zhijiang City, it may be detrimental to the prince."
