Chapter 172

"It's not an exaggeration for the Gong family to collude with the Jing Man, gather all living beings to create chaos, and besiege the county town. It's not an exaggeration to call it a 'big thief'." Liu Jing said with a smile.

"Since the court took office, it has ruled the county with benevolence and morality, and has not imposed criminal laws. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gong thinks that the court is weak and can be deceived, so that it gives birth to a rebellious heart." Liu Jing glanced at the officials in the hall sternly, and said: " With the benevolence of Confucius, there is still the act of punishing dwarfs, if this court does not severely punish Gong, what majesty will there be in the future?"

All the officials couldn't help but look at each other, the five Gong brothers have all been killed, how can they be severely punished?Could it be...

Just listen to Liu Jing continuing: "Gong Fei and Gong Ge are dead, but some of the Gong's children who participated in this rebellion may have escaped. As the old saying goes: 'Eliminate all evil and do everything'. Everyone in this generation should be punished by death. Do you think so? "

All the officials heard that their bones were chilled, and their hearts were jumping. It was not a matter of Liu Jing's words whether he participated or not. It was obvious that he wanted to exterminate his family.

You know, the Gong family is one of the few big clans in Ling County, and Liu Jing will be wiped out as soon as he says it, and those who sit still can't help but feel sad.

Of course, no one would come forward to intercede for the Gong family, and to offend the county monarch for a family that is doomed to perish is not the act of a wise man.

At this time, just bow your head and agree.

…………

When Chu Fang returned, it was already timed. After rough statistics, more than [-] people were beheaded in this battle, and more than [-] people were captured.

Compared with it, the casualties of our own side can be regarded as slight, with no more than [-] people killed in the battle and less than [-] wounded, which can be described as a complete victory.

Liu Jing knew that Chu Fang would undoubtedly be the first to achieve such a result, so he praised without hesitation: "Ziping, thanks to you, I was able to achieve such a big victory this time."

Chu Fang laughed and said: "The Ming court is too famous. The opponent seems to have a large number of people, but in fact they are just a group of chickens and dogs. They will collapse at the first touch. With the Ming court's military and Ma Zijin's bravery, even if they are not inferior, they can easily win. "

Ma Zhou was very pleased, he waved his hands and said, "Brother Chu, I dare not be brave in front of you."

After Chu Fang joined Liu Jing's command, Ma Zhou had a lot of contact with him on weekdays, and had a clear understanding of his strength. To be honest, among the people he knew, perhaps only Gan Ning and Gan Xingba could beat him.

As for Cai Sheng, he may not be Chu Fang's opponent for the time being, and the future is hard to say.Only Ma Zhou knew that Cai Sheng, who abandoned the sword and turned to the sword and spear, made amazing progress.

"Ziping doesn't need to be modest." Liu Jing shook his head, and then said solemnly: "Ziping, the Gong family is a big family in Ling County. Although the Gong brothers are dead, the relatives are still there, and the rest of the party is still alive. This generation will not die. I am not at ease. .”

"What's so difficult about this?" Chu Fang laughed loudly, and immediately clasped his fists in begging for his life: "The Ming court only needs to allow 500 troops, and I will immediately kill the Gong family, so as to eradicate the disaster for the Ming court."

"Good. With Ziping's words, I can feel at ease." Liu Jing clapped his hands and smiled. "Today's soldiers fought hard. It's not suitable to send troops. However, this matter should not be delayed for a long time, so as not to escape the Gong family. Ziping might as well rest well tonight, and lead the troops south tomorrow morning."

"promise."

After Chu Fang left, Liu Jing was also a little tired. He got up and was about to go back to the county house to rest, but he saw Shan Ri was hesitating to speak.

Liu Jing couldn't help asking: "Uncle Weng, what's the matter with you?"

With a hesitant expression on his face, Shan Ri said, "Liu Jun, more than a thousand descendants of Panhu were captured in this battle, can Liu Jun not kill them and hand them over to me."

Liu Jing immediately understood what he meant, "You want to be their 'spiritual husband'?" Jing Manzhong called the leader, Qu Shuai, and the general "smart husbands".

"Yes." Dan Riyan nodded heavily.

"Are you sure about this matter?" Liu Jing also felt a big headache about how to deal with these Jingmen. It is not appropriate to execute them all, and it is not appropriate to release them. It couldn't be better.

To be honest, Shan Rilong didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he had to try. Such an opportunity was simply once in a lifetime. Once he succeeded, he would have the hope of revenge.

Shan Ri said: "They sent troops for the Gong family this time, making things difficult for Liu Jun. Liu Jun will naturally raise troops to attack in the future. If they can instigate some people, they will definitely receive miraculous results."

Liu Jing felt that what he said made sense, and it’s okay to try. It’s the best, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. It can be used as free labor to build walls and dams, so that some Han people can be freed from it. This is also a good thing to benefit the people.

Liu Jing nodded and said, "You can do this."

"Thank you, Liu Jun." Shan Rizhen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and kowtowed heavily to Liu Jing.

After the matter was over, Liu Jing returned to the county house to rest. For some reason, he was obviously exhausted physically and mentally, but he just lay on the couch, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The Gong family has been eliminated, and the internal worries have been relieved. There is no one in Ling county who can threaten him. Maybe it is time to send someone to bring his family.

Liu Jing thought about it carefully, and decided to wait. His next focus will be Pingyang and Zhongshui Townships. After these two places are settled, it will not be too late to bring his family back.

Unable to fall asleep for a while, Liu Jing got up and put on his coat, lit the oil lamp on the desk, and looked over the list of the war dead. Most of the twenty or so people were locals from Ling County.

The youngest one was 16 years old, the same age as his brother Liu Liang. Liu Jing couldn't help but sighed heavily in his heart. He wrote in ink and wrote: "Jing Dun, the magistrate of Ling county, rebelled, gathered a crowd to raise troops, and invaded the county... Sergeant King Zhong, killed thieves for the country, where he was captured... Sergeant Wang Zhong, loyal and brave, killed the thieves...Ling county magistrate Jing Dun nodded his head."

That's right, Liu Jing wrote a death notice. More than [-] people died in this battle, and Liu Jing wrote more than [-] letters in hand.

When he finished the last letter, it was already the time when the cock crowed. Until then, Liu Jing felt sleepy. He went to bed for a nap, and was awakened by Yu Zheng not long after he fell asleep.

Although the sky was not yet bright, Chu Fang had already gathered his soldiers and was ready to go.In addition to Chu Fang, Liu Zhu will also go together. First, this trip to the south requires a boat, and Liu Zhu happens to be the person in charge of the fleet.Second, it is well known that the Gong family is rich, and Liu Jing must send his confidants to watch over it.It is very normal for the soldiers to steal some of the property as a reward for breaking Gong's Wubao, but there must be a limit, and he cannot suffer too much loss.

Liu Jing rushed to the gate of the county temple to bid farewell to Chu Fang and Liu Zhu. Liu Zhu is his confidant, so naturally there is no need to explain anything, but he said to Chu Fang: "Ziping, you must know that this time the Gong family not only has Jingman's help, Zhongshui Township also has three major surnames participating in the rebellion. This matter must not be left alone, I must seek justice. When you break the Gong family, you can come directly to Zhongshui Township to join me."

Chu Fang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, fell silent for a while, and then said "No."
