Cao Su stopped Duan Xuan dissatisfied and tried to be as pleasant as possible.
The old man seemed to be suffocated by the name "General Pingbei", and it took him a while to come to his senses.
Cao Su had already thought up a set of rhetoric in his mind, and was ready to express it with emotion and reason.
Unexpectedly, when the old man saw Cao Su, he jumped off the stool and knelt down in front of Cao Su with a "pop" sound.
His face was filled with tears and he burst into tears.
"Look, what are you forcing yourself to do?"
"I have already said that demolition must be legal and reasonable, why don't you understand?"
Cao Su turned around and glared at Duan Xuan and the others.
Several officials in charge of the demolition turned pale with fright and felt a little puzzled. They did not use violence against the old man. Is it such an exaggeration?
The old man knelt in front of Cao Su and kowtowed. Cao Su felt strong and helped the old man up.
"What an injustice, what an injustice!"
"General Pingbei, who is from the capital of the gods, must make the decision for me!"
Cao Su frowned and said in a broad voice: "Old man, what grievances do you have? Tell me about it?"
Cao Su somewhat understood why the old man had to stop here to prevent it from being demolished. It turned out that he was waiting for a bigger leader to handle the matter.
At this time, Cao Su appeared and gave the old man a chance to complain directly to the master of the palace.
The old man cried: "I want to sue the You family in Youzhou Prefecture for forcing good girls into prostitution and taking care of human lives!"
"Um?"
After hearing this, Cao Su's expression suddenly turned cold and he said, "Old man, can you please explain clearly?"
So the old man told the story of his family.
Originally, there was a very beautiful girl in their family. The girl was seventeen years old and as beautiful as a flower.
When I reached the age, I could marry Mr. Yang, who had already made an engagement in the west of the city.
Unexpectedly, one day, the girl went to the street to buy rice and met a dandy from the You family. When the dandy saw his daughter's beauty, he took her abducted to his house and humiliated her.
After the Yang family found out about this, they broke off the engagement.
The old man was very angry and went to Youzhou Mansion to file a complaint. However, not only did it have no effect, but the You family also came to the door, took away the heartbroken little girl, and sold her to a brothel.
Afterwards, the old man's wife couldn't stand the excitement and soon became extremely angry.
The old man was like crazy and kept sitting at the door of the house. He relied on the help of kind-hearted neighbors nearby to survive.
The old man was not crazy at all, his eyes were filled with unquenchable hatred.
He stared at him, and the evil aura on Cao Su's body not only did not affect him, but instead made the hatred in his heart more and more amplified.
So much so that wisps of black air appeared on his face.
"Sir, please make the decision for me!"
"As long as you can make the decision for me, why not give this ancestral house to you?"
He doesn't care about the family at all, he just wants revenge.
After hearing his story, Cao Su showed a hint of anger on his face.
He spoke coldly and ordered to the people below: "Go and find You Xingtian, the head of the You family."
The You family is one of the largest families in Youzhou Prefecture after the Xiao family. After Cao Su came to Youzhou Prefecture, the You family opposed Cao Su many times, both openly and secretly.
Cao Su gave the order, and Hong Ding volunteered.
"General, I would like to go to the You family and bring the head of the You family."
Hong Ding was originally a bandit, and he didn't have a good impression of the major families who were dissatisfied with Kuang Yuanzhou at first.
Now that he has the opportunity, Cao Su looks like he wants to deal with the You family, so Hong Ding is of course willing to take action himself.
Cao Su nodded slightly. With Hong Ding on the side to suppress him, the You family could not make trouble.
He agreed to Hong Ding's request.
Hong Ding himself led the five hundred swordsmen from his headquarters and went straight to the You family in the city.
Zhongjin asked hesitantly: "Sir, is this too hasty?"
Zhongjin still didn't understand Cao Su as well as Wu Ming. He asked tentatively, but Cao Su glanced at him sideways and didn't answer him. He walked straight to the old man and helped him up.
"Old man, if what you say is true, as General Pingbei and the chief general of Youzhou Prefecture, I will definitely enforce the law impartially and give you justice."
"Forcing good girls into prostitution and caring about people's lives, no matter where you put it, it is a sin of decapitation!"
Cao Su made a promise that he would make three chapters of the law and re-establish the majesty of the law in the city.
In troubled times, heavy regulations must be used, and the external pressure is too great, so there is no chance of any turmoil in Youzhou Prefecture.
Only by establishing the concept of law in everyone's hearts can the overall environment be transformed.
He helped the old man walk to the edge, and Zhongjin understood clearly this time.
Cao Su must kill the spirit of all the major families in the city.
After coming for several months, Cao Su had been holding back.
After pacifying Tuxian Mountain, Cao Su's power increased day by day, and no one had the right to speak in the city.
Now that he has begun to deal with the You family in the city, the mentality of the other major families is also different from before.
At the beginning, everyone was on the same page.
And now, as Cao Su pacified Tuxian Mountain, hoarded troops in Tuxian Mountain, established a free trade zone, and imposed laws and regulations, one by one, everything was arranged, and a picture of the development of Youzhou Prefecture that was well organized and advancing at a high speed was displayed in front of everyone.
Zhongjin quickly called the sergeant over, and then found some eucalyptus tables and stools.
After Cao Su sat on the eucalyptus platform, the old man redressed his grievances in the hall.
A live version of the simple yamen was set up.
Not long after, Cao Su's general Hong Ding, who had gone to "summon", returned.
Hong Ding returned alone and did not bring anyone with him.
"General, the You family refuses to surrender."
Hong Ding lost his reputation to Cao Su.
Cao Su also looked at Hong Ding. Hong Ding had a murderous look in his eyes, just waiting for Cao Su to speak.
Just as Cao Su was about to speak, several people hurriedly ran in from a distance.
"General Pingbei, please show your respect!"
Those people ran over in a swarm.
Cao Su took a look and saw that they were several other major families led by Xiao Xu of the Xiao family.
"General, hold your hand high!"
Xiao Xu looked at Cao Su's indifferent eyes and walked forward bravely.
Hong Ding took a step forward, stopped everyone, and shouted: "The You family intends to rebel, and you are also going to help?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You bastard, you are talking nonsense!"
"You Hong Ding, you are deceiving the public with your evil words!"
"General Pingbei has learned clearly that the You family has been doing their duty for generations, how can they destroy their own future?"
The three families of Wei, Qu and Jiang behind Xiao Xu spoke one after another, pointing their fingers at Hong Ding, the big bandit leader next to Cao Su.
Hong Ding sneered, Ling Ran was not afraid of everyone's criticism: "Then you tell me, why did the You family refuse to come to see General Pingbei? They also locked the courtyard and pointed swords and spears at our soldiers. This is not treason.
What? Are you performing a show?"
Cao Su sat behind the eucalyptus table and looked at the several big families coldly.
Xiao Xu bowed slightly and said: "General, the You family is just in a state of confusion for a while. I hope the general will forgive you."
Cao Su's eyes were cold, which was very different from a few days ago. He said indifferently: "Is it true that the You family forced girls into prostitution?"
This kind of forced rape happens to some big families, but it's just not as serious as the You family.
Now that Cao Su is talking about this matter alone, several major families are in trouble.
If it must be said that something that has been agreed upon by convention violates the law, then those major families are not clean.
But this kind of thing cannot be explained directly.
Xiao Xu frowned and said: "General, the matter of the You family has not yet been decided in court. You should not listen to other people's words."
Cao Su suddenly slammed the table and became furious.
"What about Sheng Tang? This You family, if I call him over now, he doesn't even dare to come over. What else can you say about Sheng Tang?"
Cao Su's body was full of evil spirits. This sudden explosion scared everyone, as if they saw a demon god emerging from Cao Su's body in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Sir, the You family has been operating in Youzhou Prefecture for many years. The family members cover all walks of life. Don't touch it lightly!"
Xiao Xu probably knew what Cao Su wanted to hear, and got to the point.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Cao Su's anger subsided slightly.
But his face was still livid.
He said calmly: "Within one stick of incense from the You family, get here, otherwise, Hong Ding!"
Cao Su passed the military order to Hong Ding. Hong Ding had not yet adapted to the change of identity from bandit leader to general. When Cao Su ordered him to give the order, he realized it and immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Hong Ding is here!"
"Within one stick of incense, if the You family doesn't come, you can directly lead your troops and take over the You family by force!"
Cao Su's overbearing military orders caused the expressions of all the families below him to change.
Xiao Xu exclaimed: "General!"
Cao Su glared at Xiao Xu and asked in a deep voice: "Why, you also want to join the You family? Do you really think that I am in trouble?"
Cao Su looked like he wanted to kill everyone as a "special party", which frightened the other three families.
The head of the Wei family gently pulled Xiao Xu's robe, signaling Xiao Xu to stop talking.
Xiao Xu sighed slightly, took a deep look at Cao Su, and said no more.
Cao Su snorted coldly and looked towards the city.
Hong Ding once again led his soldiers and attacked the You family fiercely.
