Liquidation is a big project.

As the Department of Knowledge and Visiting was busy for several days, some officials who had committed the most heinous crimes were the first to be pushed out for questioning.

At the market entrance, dozens of people were tied up and kneeling on the ground. These guys, who used to be aloof and arrogant, now had faces full of despair, as if they were from another world.

Outside the execution ground, people gathered around to watch, with indescribable joy on their faces.

Nowadays, each of these officials is notorious. Each of them has at least several direct cases of human life, and there are still many indirect cases. They have done countless evil things by relying on their fake power.

It’s simply too numerous to write down.

"The King of Bei'an declared that mistakes must be corrected and guilty must be punished. It is not a pity for these heinous people to die. I hope that future generations will learn from them and take them as a warning!"

After the announcement, the charges of each criminal were announced.

This is also the link set by Su Yuan.

This is what he did in Beifeng City. Whoever he wanted to have his head chopped off, he had to tell what crime the person had committed before beheading him, and why he should be chopped off his head should be explained clearly, so that the common people would know clearly.

At the same time, let the prisoners listen to themselves and hear what bad things they have done.

Su Yuan thinks this link is very good and can make the people very happy. This was the case in Beifeng City, and it is still the same in Taiyuan now.

The common people gnashed their teeth as they listened to the evidence of guilt being read out one after another. They wished they could rush to the execution platform, transform into executioners, and chop off the prisoner's head with their own hands.

After reciting the long list of crimes, the executioner raised his knife without hesitation, and the crowd suddenly burst into cheers.

Some of the people whose relatives and friends were harmed by these officials are bursting into tears below.

"Long live the King of Bei'an!"

These people shouted in unison, knowing very well that without King Su Yuan of Bei'an, these high-ranking criminals would never be punished. They would never be able to avenge their injustice.

After the first batch is cut, there will be a second and third batch.

Su Yuan was not in a hurry and asked the people from the Investigation Department to carefully search for evidence. He wanted to ensure that no one guilty could escape, and no one innocent could be unjustly accused.

While collecting evidence of criminal officials, ordinary people also reflected on some good officials.

There were a dozen officials in total, most of them were minor officials, and they had a good reputation among the people. Dozens and hundreds of people came to the Zhiguo Si to speak for them.

After the Investigation Department investigated and ensured that it was true, the situation was reported to Su Yuan. After Su Yuan found out, without thinking, he released these officials who had been agreed by the common people from prison, and visited them in person to communicate with them.

.

In an overall corrupt environment like the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was rare for officials to remain honest and upright. After Su Yuan talked with them, some of them were willing to continue working, while others wanted to resign and return home.

The person who wanted to resign didn't say it clearly, but Su Yuan understood.

They were all worried that if Su Yuan was defeated in the future, the officials under him might also be punished for treason.

Su Yuan completely understood this worry. He kept those who were willing to work and promoted them.

Anyway, there are a lot of vacant positions at the top level, so it would be a good fit for them.

After handling this part of the matter, Su Yuan asked Shen Lian to start searching the house.

When it comes to confiscating homes, Shen Lian can be said to be very familiar with it. He did it once in Beifeng City, and this time in Taiyuan, he copied it without fail.

The first thing to be searched was the homes of the four major families.

Each of their families has more money than the five families in Beifeng City combined, and each family has many shops, fields and other assets, which are more valuable than their gold and silver.

And not only in Taiyuan City, but also in other cities in Mozhou, the four major families also have a lot of assets, and of course these will be confiscated.

Shen Lian was copying it, while Su Yuan was at the palace, discussing the use of the money with Lu Wuyou.

Lu Wuyou said: "My lord, the total money stolen from the four major families and other officials and wealthy merchants exceeds ten million taels. If such a large amount of money is used for people's livelihood, it will definitely be of great benefit to the people."

"I know that. Wuyou, you know Mozhou well and are good at arithmetic. You can draw up a detailed usage regulation for silver in the next few days and show it to me."

Lu Wuyou couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, and immediately said seriously: "I will definitely live up to the prince's trust."

He knew that Su Yuan's willingness to hand over so much money to him was definitely a sign of his trust. He must go all out to be worthy of this trust.

"By the way, Wuyou, I have an idea."

"Sir, please speak."

"I went out for a walk before, and the houses of several big families are really too big. Especially yours, the Lu family, which almost occupies the entire street."

Lu Wuyou said understandingly: "What does the prince mean, do you want to demolish the big house built by several people?"

"That's right." Su Yuan nodded, "How many people can live in such a big house? Many people in Taiyuan live in small huts, but those big houses are empty. I really can't stand it."

Taiyuan City is so big, but the living conditions of the people are not as good as Beifeng City, which really surprised him.

After careful study, it was found that the houses of several large families occupied too much land, as well as some restaurants and horse farms for their entertainment. Su Yuan wanted to demolish these things.

Lu Wuyou thought for a moment and agreed: "My Majesty can consider such details for the sake of the people. I admire you. I will arrange people to study the demolition work."

"Yeah. By the way, have you read Qingxiang's latest imperial edict?"

"My subordinates saw it."

A few days after Su Yuan captured Taiyuan and proclaimed himself king, the capital finally responded.

Emperor Qingxiang issued an imperial edict, which was, to be precise, a "propaganda against thieves."

The content was lackluster. It was nothing more than a scolding of Su Yuan and an announcement that he would send a large army to attack him.

What surprised Su Yuan was that the Jianghu people were actually mentioned in this appeal. It was said that they hoped that Jianghu people would actively join the army and publicly denounce the national traitors.

"Is this old man Qingxiang out of his mind? He actually called on Jianghu people to join the army."

Lu Wuyou said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates speculate that the current military strength of the Zhou Dynasty is not sufficient, and hastily raised troops to conquer the Prince, which may not be effective. Therefore, I hope to recruit more martial arts masters, form an army, and try to capture Tianmen Pass first."

"Well, that makes sense."

Su Yuan nodded in agreement.

Tianmen Pass is Mozhou's gateway to the outside world. If you want to enter Mozhou, you must first capture Tianmen Pass.

But Tianmen Pass, as its name suggests, is like a gate to heaven, standing between two mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to attack by force, it will be difficult to do so without five or six times the number of troops.

In this way, instead of relying on a large army to raid, it is better to form a "special attack team" of dozens or hundreds of martial arts masters, try to see if there is a chance to sneak into Tianmen Pass, and launch a surprise attack through beheading operations.

This trick might be effective against other people, but it was useless against Su Yuan.

There are no "general officers" among the soldiers he summoned, so who should be beheaded in the beheading operation? Everyone is an individual, and they all take orders directly from Su Yuan.

If Su Yuan tells them to hold on, they will hold on, no matter who dies. Unless those masters can kill "Terminal" Su Yuan, there is no point in killing other summoned soldiers.

However, this is the deepest secret that no one knows except Su Yuan.

After Lu Wuyou came out of the palace, he went to the prison again.

Because the jailer reported that it was the head of the Che family who was imprisoned in the prison and had been clamoring to see him.

Among the four major families in Taiyuan, the Xu family and the Chen family are in-laws. The Lu family and the Che family are in-laws. Now that the head of the Che family wants to see him, Lu Wuyou can probably think of what is going on.

Originally he didn't want to go, but for the sake of his sister-in-law, he went to meet him. Although his elder brother was a bastard, his sister-in-law was a kind and honest person and had not done anything evil.

Moreover, Lu Wuyou had been living a wild life before and was not welcomed by the Lu family. Only his sister-in-law did not despise him and would occasionally greet him. For a person like Lu Wuyou, he will always remember this kind of small warmth.

At heart.

Lu Wuyou came to the prison, and as soon as the head of the Che family saw him, he started crying.

"Good nephew, good nephew!"

"..."

"Good nephew..." The head of the Che family stretched out his hands and grasped Lu Wuyou's hand through the railing. "In the face of a disaster, good nephew must not ignore death! Your eldest brother is my son-in-law.

, you should also call me uncle! Dear nephew, you can’t just watch your uncle die!”

With some effort, Lu Wuyou took his hand out and said, "I really should call you uncle. But I want to tell you, uncle, there is nothing I can do."

"Don't say that!" the Che family elder said with tears, "I understand that King Bei'an is a good man, a great man! I am willing to support him, you talk to him, I will hand over all the family property to him, as long as he can

Just spare my life."

"..."

Lu Wuyou worriedly said that all your property has been confiscated, what else is left to give.

The head of the Che family probably came to his senses and said quickly: "I am in Qingzhou, I still have some assets in the capital, and I also have many banknotes in the capital's bank! I can take them out and give them all to King Bei'an!"

Lu Wuyou frowned and said, "Uncle, don't you still understand what happened now? Your Majesty, what he values ​​​​is not money."

"If you don't value money, what do you value? By the way, my five girls... Your King Bei'an is not married yet, right? My five girls are good at chariots, chess, calligraphy, and calligraphy, and they are also pretty. Go talk to Bei'an.

The prince will take her as a concubine, or if not, she will be a common-room girl."

"Uncle Che!" Lu Wuyou really couldn't stand listening anymore, "You should give up this idea. You said that the prince does not value money, but what does he value? I can tell you that what he values ​​​​is the right path."

"Uncle Che, many people have reported to the Department of Public Information about the things you have done. No matter who you ask for mercy, it will be useless. Neither the prince nor I will protect anyone."

When the head of the Che family heard this, the look in his eyes dimmed little by little.

He took a few steps back, slid to the ground against the wall, and murmured: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"Uncle Che, you have lived long enough. Those people who died because of you, who will they complain to?" Lu Wuyou looked down at the people in the prison, with a hint of judgment in his words.

"It's better to accept reality."

…

One stone stirs up thousands of waves.

Su Yuan captured Mozhou and established himself as king, and the imperial court issued a proclamation against thieves. This series of events not only spread quickly throughout the Zhou Dynasty, but also set off a new wave of craze in the world.

To be precise, since Su Yuan destroyed the Yunshan Sect, his name has been resounding in the world.

After all, it was the first time that a large army had wiped out Jianghu sects after so many years since the annihilation of martial arts.

As a result, Su Yuan became the target of curses from many people in the world.

When a reward was offered to Su Yuan, many Jianghu people went to Beifeng City with the idea of ​​trying their luck. As a result, those people who were rumored to have never returned, causing others to stop mentioning the matter.

Now that Su Yuan has captured the entire Mozhou, everyone in the world is shocked.

This is the land of an entire state. The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is vast, and one state has more land than several foreign states combined.

Now Su Yuan has a state, and he had previously defeated the Beirong army. If he were allowed to own the Beirong land again, the total would be enough to be called a "small country".

This immediately made many people in the world unable to sit still.

As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost on.

Heroes have been born in troubled times since ancient times. Who knows if Su Yuan will be the next hero. If he really succeeds, all his current subordinates will be able to follow the dragon in the future.

Even if he could not conquer the Great Zhou Dynasty and only occupied the area of ​​Mozhou, relying on the dangerous pass of Tianmen Pass, Su Yuan could separate himself and become a local emperor.

Wouldn't it be nice to go to the Tu Emperor and become an official?

For a time, people in the world were in a state of confusion.

Many people were scolding Su Yuan before, and now they were thinking about whether to join him or not.

Not only individuals, but even some small sects are considering whether to move their clans to Mozhou. This is because they heard that Su Yuan introduced many new policies after occupying Mozhou, which also have many benefits for warriors like them.

It's just that the specifics of those policies are unclear, because local governments have banned the discussion of a series of policies in Mozhou. Anyone found discussing them will be regarded as a spy sent by Su Yuan and arrested.

For a time, there were endless incidents of killing good people and taking advantage of their merits.

This made many celebrities see some clues, and they packed their things quietly and prepared to go to Mozhou to see it on the spot.

And at this moment, a caravan arrived at Tianmen Pass.

Soldiers conduct cargo inspection.

"Gentlemen, check slowly, don't be tired."

The caravan boss was sitting sideways on a white horse. She was a woman wearing a purple robe, with very charming curly hair, a smile on her lips, and a fist-sized wooden jar in her hand, which she was shaking and playing with.

The customs guards confirmed that there were no prohibited items in the goods and chose to let them go.

"You really do your job."

The curly-haired woman couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that the soldiers didn't even look at her. You know, her appearance has fascinated many people in the past.

"No wonder King Bei'an was able to capture Mozhou. With such elite soldiers, it would be no problem to go further." The curly-haired woman chuckled and sighed.

"pity……"

The caravan passed through Tianmen Pass, and after walking hundreds of steps, the curly-haired woman gently opened the wooden jar in her hand.

Among them were more than a dozen strange-looking green bugs, with long tentacles swaying around, as if they were searching for something.

"Child, go ahead."

The curly-haired woman flipped her wrist, causing the wooden jar to topple over, and a dozen green bugs fell to the ground. As soon as they hit the ground, they quickly burrowed into the soil and disappeared.
