Chapter 66: The sword rises and the head falls
Hui Shigangyi walked out of the county magistrate's office and saw the people kneeling at the door.
When everyone saw that someone came out, they were immediately excited and wanted to surround them and ask.
It can be seen that Hui Shi was wearing armor and was obviously a military officer, so he shrank his head again, and did not dare to get up again, so he continued to kneel down.
On the one hand, military officers are really not easy to mess with.
On the other hand, it is also because of this major event involving the people's livelihood of the whole county, military officers usually have no way to make decisions.
It's useless to ask.
Hui Shi is now serving as the deputy of the Chief Commander Chen Tong and gradually completing the handover of power. After the handover is completed, he will be a local official in charge of the military defense of this county.
However, now he is still just a deputy. He wants to lead the troops to confiscate the house, and he still has to report to the Duwei Yamen first.
Since Cui Heng came, Chen Tong, who was already busy and exhausted, finally got idle. He practiced boxing, raised flowers, drank tea every day, and lived a life like a god.
He had already decided to surrender to Cui Heng, and planned to get the title of an aide in the county magistrate's office after the power and position of the commander.
Then just lie down.
After working hard for so many years, the world is still in a chaotic world, and he is too lazy to do anything else.
However, the major merchants have been too much in the past month, and Chen Tong still couldn't help but take care of some things.
For example, send troops to guard food and salt to avoid being robbed.
As for the order to transfer soldiers sent by Huishi, he just casually agreed.
I don't even ask.
But this time it's different.
After seeing the contents of the transfer order, Chen Tong suddenly widened his eyes, raised his head to look at Hui Shi in shock, smashed his mouth and said, "I want to copy them all?"
"That's right." Hui Shi nodded and said in a deep voice: "According to the order of the lord, the whole family of the merchants on the list will be confiscated. If they encounter obstacles, they will be killed on the spot!"
"Okay! I'm not happy with this group of dogs!" Chen Tong slapped the table, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Let's go, take you to lead the soldiers."
"Then I would like to thank Master Duwei." Hui Shi said with a smile.
"I should thank the prefect." Chen Tong smiled, and his admiration for Cui Heng became a little stronger.
In fact, he and Liu Litao had the same idea at the beginning, and did not think Cui Heng could deal with the chaos in the city of Lu County. At most, he was relying on his martial arts to protect himself.
After all, he had never visited Juhe County in person, nor had he had contacted Cui Heng personally. His understanding of Cui Heng only comes from some military newspapers and rumors.
Of course, I don’t have much confidence.
But the operation of gathering the people's hearts in this month's grain and salt struggle made him stunned and admired him very much.
What he didn't expect was that-
In the end, I really dared to do such a ruthless wave.
sharp!
It's really amazing!
...
Hui Shi and Chen Tong brought up two hundred soldiers and rushed to the first grain merchant on the list in a mighty manner.
This attracted countless speculations from people along the way.
"There are so many soldiers, and the leader is still the lieutenant. What are you doing? Are you going to fight?"
"Aren't all the Yan thieves destroyed by the heavenly punishment? Who else can you beat? Is there any beast appearing? Are you going to kill the beast?"
"Hehe, I see, I really have to fight, I also have to kill beasts, but the ones who fight the unscrupulous businessmen are also killed!"
"So, could it be that the prefect decided to attack those profiteers?"
"That's great, that's how damn it. It actually raised the price of grain to fifteen times the original!"
"But I heard that there are big sects and big families behind these profiteers, and our original prefects can't afford to offend them!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
Of course, not only ordinary people were watching, but also servants from merchants' families.
Seeing so many soldiers marching with murderous aura, they were so scared that they were trembling and ran home to report the news.
The first stop Hui Shi and Chen Tong were going to be Li Chong, the largest grain merchant in Lu County.
Li Chong was originally a servant of the elder Sun Liansheng of Taichong, but was later sent to Lu County to run a grain business.
It has been more than 30 years since then, and has accumulated extremely rich property, more than 1,000 servants, tens of thousands of acres of land that have been merged, and the mansions are built like palaces.
Mr. Huang from Juhe County is a tiny person compared to him.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good! It's not good!" The servant of the Li family ran back panting and shouted while running.
"What are you doing when you shout?!" Li Chong shouted in dissatisfaction.
Then he walked out with his fat body swaying, and two beautiful flowery girls were supported by their hands on both sides. While walking, he rubbed the girl's delicate body with his arms.
"What's going on?" Li Chong frowned and looked at the servant, sneering, "I disturbed my good mood. If I can't tell you why, it will make your head bloom!"
"Master, Chen Tong and the magistrate Cui come here with their men!" The servant said anxiously, "Why should I invite Mr. Sun?"
"Don't you go!" Li Chong kicked the servant over and scolded, "I'm afraid of Chen Tong. Could it be that he dares to kill me? I'll disturb Mr. Sun for this little thing. I think you don't want to live anymore!"
He has the support of the Taichong School. In the past few years, whether it is doing business or getting along with people on the official side, he has been used to being domineering.
I don’t think that Chen Tong, the commander-in-chief, dares to do anything to him.
After all, killing him is equivalent to offending the Taichong faction, and it will also offend several major sects and families with the Taichong faction at the same time.
It will then affect the people's livelihood and industries in the county, causing people from all over the country to suffer from poverty.
This is not a price that a captain can bear.
Step by step!
At this moment, with the neat footsteps of the soldiers, Hui Shi and Chen Tong led two hundred soldiers to the gate of the Li family in a hurry!
"Who is Li Chong?" Hui Shi took a step forward and asked loudly.
"Where did the little pawn come from? Get out!" Li Chong cursed angrily, "You don't have anything to say here, let Chen Tong come here!"
He didn't know Hui Shi, and he didn't take him seriously.
"Who are you?" Hui Shi asked, and put his hand on the hilt of the knife.
"I am..." Li Chong was about to speak, but a servant came over and whispered in his ear. He suddenly looked dazed, "So you are the new county magistrate. This is because you can't beat me in the grain and salt business. Want to come and rob me?"
"Ask you again, are you Li Chong?" Hui Shi narrowed his eyes.
"Get out of here. If you want to know who I am, let your county magistrate come and ask!" Li Chong pointed directly at Hui Shi's nose and cursed.
"It seems that you are Li Chong!" Hui Shi suddenly nodded.
Immediately, he saw him pull out the steel knife and cut off Li Chong's fat pig-like head!
puff!
Blood gushed out, and Li Chong's fat body turned into a headless corpse on the spot.
The entire Li family mansion seemed to have been pressed for a pause button. Everyone was stunned and stopped moving, and looked at the scene in horror.
Hui Shi held the head with wide eyes in his hand, looked around with a knife, and shouted loudly: "The prefect has an order. Li Chongtun has raised the price of grain, and the people are living in poverty, and they are extremely evil!
"Now that the whole family is confiscated, who dares to stop it and kill it on the spot!"
At the same time, in the corner of the house.
Li Chong's son was so scared that his face was as pale as paper, and he said to the servants beside him with trembling body: "Hurry, go out from the back door, go and invite Mr. Sun Panshi!"
