Take Zhang Jiuli's two daughters-in-law, for example. They are all the daughters of the chieftain. In addition, he also has two daughters who are married to the sons of the chieftain. Therefore, this guy can secure this position because of his relationship with the chieftain.
The relationship is relatively good, so why can’t the first two sit still?
It's because of the bad relationship with the chieftain. It's hard to say whether he was involved in this matter. In general, when he was an official here a few times ago, the chieftain's army often went down the mountain to rob, but since he became this official
, the chieftain’s army rarely came out.
Of course, the chieftain's army rarely comes out, which does not mean that the life of the common people is easy. According to Li Xiang's investigation, this guy sends a certain amount of things to the mountains every year, and his family is also married to the chieftain. Look,
He came here wanting to turn this place into his own independent kingdom, but unfortunately Li Xiang passed by and shattered his thoughts.
"Master Zhang is a smart man. The whole city is in turmoil right now, but Master Zhang's home is still very peaceful. Master Zhang should understand what I mean. I shouldn't need to spend too much time talking to smart people, right?
?”
Li Xiang did not enter the door. Instead, he sat down at the door and brought an imperial chair from the house. Zhang Jiuli and the others were kneeling at the door. This is the power gap. You are okay in front of the people, but if you encounter
If you have a great-grandson like Li Xiang, then you can only kneel down honestly.
"Wei Chen understands that His Highness wants to eliminate the chieftains in the mountains in one fell swoop and restore peace and tranquility here."
What doesn't Zhang Jiuli understand? If it weren't for the good relationship between her and the chieftain, maybe the whole family would have been arrested on the first day. Now Li Xiang hasn't said anything about giving him a way to survive, so this guy doesn't
What I can say is so clear, I have to wait until Li Xiang expresses his stance.
"You are right. I heard that you have a very good relationship with these toast masters. I don't care what kind of collusion you have with them. I just want to do one thing, and that is to wipe out them all and let the people inside
We will set up an official office just like outside, and everything will be in accordance with the rules of the court. If you can help me achieve this goal, I will keep your family alive, but if you can't, you should know what I can do."
Regarding the territories of these chieftains, someone in the court also proposed that officials should be set up locally, but unfortunately they all live deep in the mountains and forests. If you want to give orders on their land, you have to subdue them no matter what.
It would work, but we don't have the ability now. After Li Xiang learned about this situation, he just took this opportunity to give it a try to avoid leaving trouble for future generations.
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Zhang Jiuli did not say anything. Li Xiang's price had already been announced. Under the current situation, if he did not agree, then the whole family would definitely be put to death, just because they committed the crime.
For those crimes, even killing him three times is not an exaggeration, but the question is how to help Li Xiang realize it? The chieftains in the mountains are very skilled.
"Wei Chen may not be able to do it."
After careful consideration, Zhang Jiuli shook his head directly. It's not that he doesn't want to live. The youngest grandson has not yet passed the full moon. Who doesn't want to live? But the problem is that the price of lying to Li Xiang is too high. He can make you survive.
You have to die, Li Xiang has done so many fatal things, and if you want to trick him in the middle of applause, Zhang Jiuli thinks that he really doesn't have that ability.
"Yes, yes, after all, he is a capable person, and he also knows how to weigh the pros and cons. He has not made decisions without authorization because of the life and death of the whole family. Well, I have my own ideas. As long as you cooperate, then I can spare your whole family.
One life, but death penalty can be avoided, life penalty cannot be escaped, all family assets will be supermodel successful, all personnel will be sent to Goguryeo."
There was no emotion in Li Xiang's cold voice. Giving such people a chance to live was already against Li Xiang's principles. But in order to deal with these chieftains and for the livelihood of the people in the southwest, Li Xiang
Like willing to compromise once.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."
Zhang Jiuli really shed tears at this time. When Li Xiang arrested people on the first day, he knew that the whole family might not be able to survive. Those people were doing things slightly better than him, but they all
It was the whole family that suffered. I was much more extreme than those people. What reason could I have to let my family survive? But today, these words were spoken by Li Xiang himself, and Li Xiang's reputation was the best in the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Then you should do the first thing now. The chieftains also have their own messengers in Chengdu. On the first day I came, I had already sealed all the exits. I guarantee that no one can get out.
Even if I go, no one can send the message out, so find all these people for me."
Li Xiang's first order came out. Although Zhang Jiuli didn't know all the people, he knew some of them, especially the contacts of several big chieftains.
"Wei Chen doesn't have many people under his command, so please ask Your Highness..."
After Zhang Jiuli stood up, he thought that all of his people had been arrested by Li Xiang. With the few people at home now, he might not be able to arrest them.
"Follow him on his errands, change into the clothes of his men, and try not to kill anyone."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, hundreds of guards immediately took off their armor, put on the clothes of Master Zhang's men, and followed him to arrest people throughout the city.
When the arrests started on the first day in Chengdu, shops had already begun to close, and the people were staying at home. The streets were very chaotic, and no one dared to go out at this time, but the people soon found out.
, it seems that the officers and soldiers only arrested officials and did not harass ordinary people like them. This matter had nothing to do with them, so many people opened their doors to do business again.
The most important thing is that many people have also felt the change. In the past, if you opened your business, there would be too many people on the street looking for you to collect protection fees. The government would charge a sum, and the gangsters on the street would charge a sum.
But since these officers and soldiers wanted to arrest people, the person who collected the money could not be found.
Although the businessmen didn't know why they were arresting people, they did feel that their lives were easier. In the past, they had to spend twenty cents to send these people away. Now they put the twenty cents in their pockets. Although the amount
It’s not much, but when you add up, you’ll make a lot of money in a year!
