Nanping is one of the few large towns in Qianzhou. Although it is not the state capital, thanks to its natural geographical advantages, it is not the state capital, but more than the state capital.
Both the economic situation and agricultural level are at the top level in Qianzhou.
This is also the reason why Li Shimin wanted to exile Li Chengqian to Nanping, Qianzhou.
First, it shows the seriousness of the punishment.
After all, everyone in the world knows how bad Qianzhou is.
Secondly, Nanping is like an oasis in the desert to Qianzhou, and Li Chengqian will not suffer any harm here.
In short, Nanping is the most suitable city in Qianzhou.
Of course, all this is compared to other cities in Qianzhou.
In fact, Nanping, that is to say, the level of ordinary small towns in other states, the entire city is only five or six miles in radius, which can be said to be very small.
Since Li Chengqian arrived in Nanping, the good life of the people seemed to have come to an end.
This man was extremely promiscuous and extravagant, and every family was forced to send their daughters to serve him.
In addition, part of the common people's food reserves were also used to provide Li Chengqian with food and drink.
The common people in Nanping and even Qianzhou were all miserable.
However, a sudden incident completely changed the entire situation.
Li Chengqian was assassinated!
That is to say, from the day Li Chengqian was assassinated, Nanping implemented a lockdown. The county magistrate personally led troops to search house to house. As long as there was suspicion, he would arrest and torture the assassin. Even if he was beaten, he must arrest the assassin.
indivual.
The lives of ordinary people have become more miserable.
In the dark cell, the barbed whip whipped the person in front of him desperately.
The whip-wielding officer gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me! Are you an assassin?"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting! I am! I am an assassin!"
This honest and honest farmer was beaten to death. He couldn't care less about whether he had been wronged or not. As long as he could avoid this kind of torture, he could die immediately!
Hearing this, the official also stopped and signaled his colleagues to take him to death row.
"Hey, we are exhausted."
This official took advantage of his break to complain to his colleagues.
The colleagues all shook their heads and said with a sense of helplessness: "Brother, there is nothing we can do. The superiors are pressing hard. If we servants don't make some achievements, I'm afraid we will all have to move."
The official couldn't help but sigh.
"By the way, counting the one just now, we have uncovered about twenty assassins, right?
Why do you still want us to interrogate you?"
The official couldn't help but ask.
"Forget it, there is an urgent report from Chang'an. It is said that the assassin has close to a hundred accomplices. If we can't catch a hundred, we won't be able to rest at all."
"Well, in my opinion, this whip is still too weak. If you change it to a more severe punishment, you will be able to catch enough assassins in a few days."
These officials sighed, they were just like this because they couldn't go home to enjoy themselves.
However, where do those poor people who were beaten into submission by them go to complain?
A corner of the city, a slum area.
The officers and soldiers are searching every corner, and if they encounter anyone acting suspiciously, they will arrest them without hesitation.
In just one week, nearly a thousand people have been imprisoned, and this number is still increasing.
"Uncle, come on, my grandson is really not an assassin!"
On the street, an old woman in her sixties or seventies was kneeling on the ground, holding a young man in her arms and refusing to let go.
An officer kicked the old woman and knocked the young man to the ground.
The officer cursed and said: "You idiot, I said he is an assassin, so he must be an assassin! Get rid of me now!"
As he said that, the official kicked the old woman again.
This old woman was eager to protect her grandson, and despite being kicked so many times, she gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
She knew very well that if her grandson was brought in, he would definitely be out of shape.
Her son was captured and released, but died within two days after being released.
She didn't want her only child to suffer the same fate.
The official kicked him for a long time, but when he saw that he couldn't be kicked away, he couldn't help but feel an unknown evil fire.
bass!
He pulled out his sword and said angrily: "You still say he's not an assassin! You, an old thief, are shielding me like this, there is no doubt that he is an assassin!"
As he said that, the officer slashed the old woman's arm with his knife.
At this moment, several wild dogs appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards the official.
These wild dogs are extremely ferocious and will bite like crazy when they catch an official.
Even though he was a tall official, he was still rolled on the ground in pain and screamed when he was bullied by several wild dogs.
The screams quickly attracted their companions. Seeing the wild dogs attacking their companions, they all drew out their knives and rushed over.
These wild dogs are extremely smart. When they see someone coming, they turn around and run away.
Naturally, two-legged ones cannot run as fast as four-legged ones. After a while, those wild dogs disappeared without a trace.
The officials had no choice but to give up and go back quickly to check on their companions.
Poor this official, dozens of pieces of flesh were bitten off all over his body, his whole body was bloody and bloody, and he looked extremely happy.
"Slaying the Sky Sword, I don't know where so many wild dogs came from!"
"What a shame, Brother Wang is such a good person, but I didn't expect that he would end up in such a tragic end."
These officers all lamented for their companions.
Being bitten to death by a wild dog is probably one of the most tragic ways to die in the world.
“Is it tragic?
I think this is karma, and this is how fate should be."
Suddenly, a rather indifferent voice sounded in several people's ears.
These words immediately angered everyone, and they all turned around to see who was this blind guy who came here to seek death.
However, when they saw the appearance of the incoming person clearly, these people suddenly became frightened.
The person who came here was very impressive and had an extraordinary appearance, and his clothes were extremely luxurious. At first glance, it was clear that he was not a local.
You know, even the young master of the county magistrate's family, in front of this man, is no different from a wild boy from the country.
Behind this man were two servants.
The strange thing is that both of them are very young, the girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the young novice is only twelve or thirteen.
That's right, the trio was Muchuan's group who had just arrived in Nanping.
As soon as he entered the city, Muchuan saw the scene of officials bullying the old woman, and he was very angry.
Xiaoying even directly issued orders to the dogs in the city, and this was the scene where the dogs all attacked the official officers.
"Sir, it seems inappropriate for you to say this, right?
After all, the dead are the most important."
An officer said bravely.
Muchuan glanced at him indifferently, but reached out and threw something over.
The man was startled and quickly reached out to take it, only to find that it was a heavy piece of silver, at least ten taels!
"What do you say now?"
Muchuan asked with a half-smile.
This person naturally changed his words and continued: "Young Master is absolutely right. I have long disliked this guy. He is really not a thing and he deserves to die!"
