Chapter 219 Confiscating Homes Is the Last Word 【Order】

Cui Ji, Ding Chaozhong and others who were stunned by the people's shouts of killing before suddenly heard Jinping's shouts.

Especially when Jinping confidently shouted to kill Jin Yiwei to save them, Cui Ji, Ding Chaozhong and the others couldn't help but see some hope in their eyes.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, none of them want to die.

Especially those common people looked at them with terrifying eyes, they were really worried that they would be torn apart by these common people like Tang Zhen.

"Jin Ping save me!"

"My lord, save us!"

All of a sudden, dozens of officials couldn't help shouting at Jinping.

If there were really only a few dozen Jinyiwei before, Jinping would have shouted to save people, but now Jinping was overwhelmed by the formation of hundreds of Jinyiwei that he saw in front of him.

Li Huan gave Jinping a cold look, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said flatly to Du Guang, "Du Guang, lead someone to take these people down for me."

Du Guang responded, and with a wave of his hand, he saw more than a hundred Jinyiwei directly carrying Xiuchun knives like tigers rushing into the flock of sheep. legs come.

Du Guang slapped Jinping to the ground, picked him up like a chicken, and then threw him beside Cui Ji and Ding Chaozhong.

Looking at the scattered servants who were killed, the hope that had just been born was instantly shattered, Ding Chaozhong, Cui Ji and the others showed despair on their faces.

During the tea time, hundreds of servants and servants were escorted by Jin Yiwei like bereaved dogs.

Li Huan looked at the confession about Cui Ji, Ding Chaozhong and others presented by a captain of Jinyiwei, and then sneered and said: "These people are really greedy, and there are tens of thousands of stones of grain hidden in their grain cellars." , To even raise the price of food, even the food allocated by the imperial court to relieve the disaster victims is not willing to let go."

The people around looked at Cui Ji, Jinping, Ding Chaozhong and others with hatred.

Several village elders came out, bowed to Li Huan and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, you must be the master for us."

Today, the true colors of these officials are completely exposed, and all the people are also a little bit worried when they see it.

In the eyes of these people, it is a matter of course for officials to protect each other. No matter how Li Huan is an imperial envoy, it is impossible to kill all the officials in the entire Huayin county government.

At that time, Li Huan took people to pat his ass and left, but they still had to count on the relief food from the court to survive, and those officials who had escaped by chance didn't know how to target them, the common people.

Li Huan took a step forward, helped several village elders up, his face was full of sternness and said: "You don't have to be like this, just say what you have to say."

Several village elders looked at each other, then at the dozens of officials, big and small, one of them gritted his teeth and looked at Li Huan and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, I don't know how you want to deal with these people?"

Li Huan was slightly taken aback, seeing the worry in everyone's eyes, he immediately reacted, guessing the worries in these people's hearts, while Li Huan laughed loudly, he couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

"Kill, ransack the family and exterminate the family, leaving no one behind!"

As soon as Li Huan said these words, several village elders couldn't help being taken aback, with expressions of surprise and disbelief on their faces.

But Cui Ji, Ding Chaozhong and those officials, big and small, couldn't help but change their faces when they heard the words.

Especially some officials, they think that they are just small officials who follow the crowd, even if they participate in the big case of embezzlement and food relief, as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, Li Huan, the imperial envoy, at most is to kill Cui Ji It's just the leaders, Ding Chaozhong, and Jinping, and these officials are the ones who maintain the normal operation of the county's affairs, and they will be relied on to maintain the affairs of Huayin County.

So from the very beginning, many small officials were not very nervous or worried despite their fearful expressions.

Anyway, they can't die, as long as Li Huan kills the leaders, they will still be high-ranking officials. At that time, there will be plenty of opportunities and means to concoct these untouchables who dare to make trouble.

Even some officials are secretly remembering the leaders who yelled to beat and kill some of the most vicious civilians. At that time, they will let these untouchables know what it means to be as official as a furnace, and what it means to kill without blood.

When several village elders asked Li Huan how to deal with them, some people couldn't help looking at Li Huan with hope, hoping that Li Huan would say that only a few of the chief culprits would be killed, and the rest would make meritorious deeds.

After all, this is almost the case in many cases, and they are already commonplace.

But Li Huan's murderous words stunned everyone.

"Confiscate the family and exterminate the family, leaving no one behind!"

Is this to kill the families of Cui Ji, Tang Zhen, Ding Chaozhong, and Jinping? If it is said that none of these families are left behind, then that’s fine, but if they are all officials...

A villager said tremblingly: "Does the imperial envoy mean to kill all the officials?"

Li Huan nodded slightly, looked at the officials kneeling on the ground, and sneered under the desperate eyes of these officials: "The entire Huayin county government has been rotten from top to bottom, and it is not enough not to kill all these people." Shocking."

Hearing Li Huan's words with certainty, all the people couldn't help bowing down to Li Huan with gratitude and shouting: "Thank you, Imperial Envoy, thank you, Imperial Envoy, for making decisions for us."

And those officials roared at Li Huan with great emotion: "Li Huan, you bastard, how can you kill us? Aren't you afraid that the whole Huayin County will fall into chaos?"

Li Huan just looked at these officials with disdain and said: "I really thought that without you guys, Huayin County would really come to a standstill."

While speaking, Li Huan glanced at the crowd and shouted: "Is there any scholar who is willing to maintain the order in Huayin County temporarily, is there someone who is willing to serve as a soldier and eat food."

The people all around were silent, and suddenly, a weak scholar stood up timidly and said: "My lord, although Xiaosheng Chen Yu, a scholar in Tonglin Town, Huayin County, has little talent, he is willing to do his best for the elders in his hometown."

Soon there were dozens of outstanding talents and even Tong Sheng who stood up. Most of these people were poor scholars who returned to their hometowns after passing the imperial examinations to eke out a living by teaching some children.

Compared with taking down scholars and juren who were born in noble gentry and wealthy families, these people are also busy with their families on a daily basis. In fact, they have one more identity as a scholar than ordinary people.

It's just that these people have a very high influence among the common people, and they can be regarded as scholars who really came from poor families.

Among the tens of thousands of refugees, there are no less than a hundred scholars like Chen Yu. As more and more scholars stand up, Li Huan's mouth gradually reveals a smile.

Li Huan had killed many scholars, but almost all of those scholars he killed were from wealthy families, or were supported by wealthy families.

Compared with these poor scholars and sour scholars who seem to be not much different from ordinary people, the scholars killed by Li Huan are simply two kinds of existence.

Although these scholars have never dealt with government affairs or anything, these people have a very high influence among the common people, just like those old folks.

Li Huan felt that even if the county government of Huayin County was handed over to these scholars, no matter how poorly these people governed, it would definitely be better than keeping those officials who had no bottom line of conscience.

At least with the presence of these scholars, and with the cooperation of those village elders, as long as the 10,000+ people in Huayin County still have a bite to eat, there will be absolutely no rebellion.

A tall and straight man suddenly stood up, and said to Li Huan with a bit of embarrassment: "My lord, I... I am willing to serve as a soldier and eat food, can you accept me?"

Li Huan glanced at the man and nodded slightly.

As if there was a leader, hundreds of burly men soon stood up, but it was obvious that because of lack of food, these people were all hungry and exhausted, and even many of them were so hungry that only the burly men were left. The skeleton is gone.

After almost a stick of incense time passed, hundreds of scholars and four to five hundred big men stood up. Under Li Huan's order, more than a dozen scholars directly led more than a hundred big men and rushed to the city with several Jin Yiwei, preparing to Transport the relief food in the granary to start relief for the victims.

Seeing that Li Huan actually used the scholars among the refugees to do things, the officials who were still holding on to a glimmer of hope were completely desperate.

"kill!"

Accompanied by a drink break.

The head of an official rolled to the ground, and dozens of officials were beheaded by Li Huan without hesitation in front of countless people in Huayin County.

Seeing this scene, countless people were stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted at Li Huan.

Many people directly regard Li Huan as the master of Qingtian. After all, there are too few officials like Li Huan who do not protect each other from officials.

After killing these officials, the family property of these officials will naturally be confiscated. It is not that Li Huan is in a hurry to search for money and property, but Li Huan learned that these people have tens of thousands of shi of grain hidden in their homes. This is Li Huan. What really matters.

Originally, the relief food distributed by the imperial court to Huayin County was only more than 1 shi, which seemed a lot, but for the 10,000+ refugees in Huayin County, a mere [-] shi of food could last for a few days.

Once there is no food, countless people will starve to death and even some people will go to extremes.

Now Li Huan no longer has to worry about the lack of food. If he simply calculates, the Tang family, the Jin family, the Ding family and other families, plus a group of officials, the money saved by these families is not worth mentioning. How much, just for food alone, if added up, it would be as much as hundreds of thousands of stones.

That's hundreds of thousands of shi of grain. If so much is not copied, the 10,000+ people in Huayin County will have no problem eating it for several months.

Dozens of village elders and scholars listened to Li Huan calculate how much food each family had stored for them. When they learned that they could get hundreds of thousands of shi if they confiscated the food of these families, many of them were dumbfounded.

With a grunt, a scholar opened his eyes wide and said tremblingly, "Sir, do you really agree that all the confiscated food will be used to help the victims?"

Anyway, they are also scholars, so they naturally know that the things that have not been copied belong to the imperial court. If the imperial court disagrees, they dare not touch the food.

Li Huan cupped his hands in the direction of the capital and said: "I am ordered by the emperor to inspect the place with imperial envoys. I have the right to kill first and then report. I said that all the confiscated food will be used to help the victims and for post-disaster reconstruction. If the court If someone in the hall disagrees, this official will bear it with all his strength."

All the elders and scholars couldn't help bowing down to Li Huan when they heard the words, and kowtowed in unison.

"My lord has survived countless lives. We and the people of Huayin County will be grateful for your kindness. In the future, we will build a living shrine for your lord and pray for you every day."

Li Huan hurried forward to help the crowd up.

Soon thousands of young and strong were selected among the refugees, and then under the leadership of more than a hundred Jin Yiwei, they were divided into dozens of teams and rushed to each house.

In the evening, carts of carts arrived carrying bags of grain, which were confiscated from various houses.

Chen Yao was holding an account book, his face was full of excitement, and he said to Li Huan in a trembling voice: "My lord, here are all the confiscated items. There are a total of 78 taels of gold and silver property, and 42 shi of grain."

After speaking, Chen Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "All the gold and silver belongings have been boxed and brought back, but the grains are stored in the granaries of those companies after statistics. Special personnel have been assigned to guard them, and they can be used at any time."

Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "You did a good job. With these grains, the refugees in Huayin County don't have to worry."

Chen Yao said excitedly: "It's also thanks to your lord, otherwise, no one but your lord would dare to kill all the officials in a county. The people of Huayin County must be grateful for your kindness."

Looking at the countless refugees in the distance distributing rice porridge in an orderly manner under the arrangement of a group of villagers and scholars, hundreds of young and strong people holding sticks, patrolling among the refugees and maintaining order, the eyes of countless refugees are shining with hope Everything reveals peace and tranquility.

Taking a deep breath, Li Huan said to Du Guang beside him, "Du Guang, have you sent someone to deliver the memorial to the imperial court and His Majesty?"

Du Guang nodded and said: "My lord, don't worry, my subordinates have already sent someone eight hundred miles to send your lord's memorial back to the capital as soon as possible."

A flash of light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and he said: "Order everyone to clean up and follow me to Xi'an Mansion."

Chen Yao was taken aback and said, "My lord, let's go, what about Huayin County?"

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I have temporarily appointed Chen Yu as the county magistrate of Huayin County, Chen Daniu as the patrol inspector, and there will be a group of scholars and old people to help, Huayin County will not be chaotic. And your Majesty has mine The report will inevitably appoint new officials to come."

Hearing this, Chen Yao scratched his head and said, "Your Excellency is farsighted, and everything is under your arrangement, but your subordinates are too worried."

Following Li Huan's order, hundreds of Jinyiwei gathered at an extremely fast speed.

And Chen Yu, who was appointed by Li Huan as the temporary county magistrate, inspector Chen Daniu, and a group of village elders rushed over almost immediately when they heard that Li Huan was leaving.

The crowd looked at Li Huan and couldn't help but said, "My lord, if you leave, what shall we do?"

Li Huan stepped forward to help a group of village elders up and said: "Everyone, Li was ordered to inspect the place. All the corrupt officials in Huayin County have been punished, but there are still many corrupt officials in other places who harm the people. Li stayed here No way."

When the crowd heard that they wanted to keep Li Huan, they naturally couldn't say it again.

After glancing at Chen Yu, Chen Daniu and others, Li Huan said with a smile: "The imperial court will send officials here soon, but if any officials dare to be greedy for money, you can send someone to inform me."

Li Huan cupped his hands at the crowd, got on his horse, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly. Immediately, the horse under him neighed, and disappeared into the night surrounded by a group of guards in golden clothes.

Behind Li Huan and the others, more than a dozen Jinyi guards and hundreds of men who were willing to serve as soldiers escorted the confiscated gold and silver to the direction of Xi'an Mansion.

In the night, countless people in Huayin County who heard the news of Li Huan's departure just knelt on the ground and kowtowed silently in the direction in which Li Huan and others were going away.

above officialdom
More than a dozen figures looked at the majestic ancient city in the distance, Xi'an Fucheng

Feng Qingyang, who was dressed in Tsing Yi, looked quite calm, while Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, and Cheng Buyou stood beside Feng Qingyang, also looking at the ancient city.

"Uncle Feng, are we really going to the city to find Yue Buqun?"

Feng Buping had a worried look on his face.

They attacked and killed Yue Buqun before. It can be said that dozens of Jin Yiwei seemed to be killed in that attack, but Yue Buqun who was really going to kill escaped.

Even if Feng Qingyang pursued and killed him himself, he couldn't keep Yue Buqun.

When it comes to the ability to save his life, Yue Buqun is really not bad. Although he was almost chased and killed by Feng Qingyang a few times, every time Yue Buqun was able to escape from Feng Qingyang's men.

Even not long ago, Feng Qingyang chased Yue Buqun away in a daze, which made Feng Qingyang almost die of anger.

Hearing Feng Buping's words, Feng Qingyang frowned and said, "If he doesn't go to the city, where do you think Yue Buqun will be hiding at this time?"

Hearing what Feng Qingyang said, Feng Buping and the others said with worried expressions on their faces: "Uncle Feng, this is the capital city of Xi'an Prefecture, and there are imperial soldiers and horses stationed in the city, if Yue Buqun really escapes back Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, once we enter the city, we will be considered as entering Yue Buqun's territory, when the time comes..."

Feng Qingyang laughed loudly and said: "It's just a group of officers and soldiers. This old man can kill hundreds of people with one sword. If this old man wants to leave, the court soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to keep this old man."

Feng Buping and the others smiled wryly when they heard the words. They absolutely believed Feng Qingyang's words. After all, with Feng Qingyang's unparalleled strength, even if he was really surrounded by imperial soldiers and horses, as long as it wasn't a strong crossbow, bed crossbow, etc. It was not difficult for Feng Qingyang to get away from the big killers who shot wildly.

The key is that Feng Qingyang can escape, but they are not sure that they can escape the siege of the government.

After all, even if he was as strong as Feng Buping, he didn't dare to say that he could fight against the imperial army. If he was really surrounded, it didn't take much, maybe dozens of hundreds of soldiers could surround and kill him.

Feng Qingyang snorted coldly and said: "Everyone enters the city with the old man, it's just a mere court soldier, as long as you are careful, there is nothing to be afraid of, and even if there is an accident at that time, isn't there still the old man, old man One person, one sword, can keep you safe."

Feng Qingyang said everything to such an extent, Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou, and Cong Buqi looked at each other, nodded to Feng Qingyang and said: "I will obey your orders."

Feng Qingyang stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Is that right? Let's all go to the city together so that we can find out about Yue Buqun. Otherwise, if I want to find Yue Buqun alone, when will I find it?" what."

Feng Buping and the others smiled wryly when they heard the words, they felt that Feng Qingyang wanted them to look for Yue Buqun.

The city gate of Xi'an Mansion is wide open, but outside the city gate, there are many refugees gathered. In the huge open space outside the city gate, dozens of large pots are boiling rice. Obviously, the officials of Xi'an Mansion have already Start helping the victims.

After all, it is the capital of Shaanxi Prefecture, and hundreds of thousands of stones of relief food from the imperial court have already entered the treasury. If the officials of Xi'an Prefecture can't even set up a porridge shed, they will definitely hold the court accountable.

Because the city of Xi'an Prefecture has already begun to provide relief to the victims, although there are quite a few refugees outside the city, they are quite orderly despite seeing the hope of survival.

Of course, on the one hand, there is also the reason why the Xi'an government government sent servants to patrol among the refugees outside the city to maintain order.

When Feng Qingyang and others saw those refugees queuing up to receive the rice porridge, Feng Qingyang snorted coldly and said: "A group of dog officials, if it wasn't for chasing and killing Yue Buqun, I would have killed these dog officials with my own hands." , Let out a sigh of relief for the people of Shaanxi.”

Feng Qingyang's voice was not small, some refugees subconsciously avoided Feng Qingyang and his group when they heard the words, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.

At the gate of the city, a group of soldiers guarded the gate, isolating countless refugees, but when Feng Qingyang and Feng Buping tried to enter the city, they were driven away by the soldiers guarding the gate.

These soldiers could tell at a glance that Feng Qingyang and the others were not good people. After all, apart from those people in the Jianghu, how many ordinary people from good families carried swords.

It seems that they didn't expect that they would be stopped outside the city, and even chased away by the soldiers defending the city. If Feng Buping hadn't grabbed Feng Qingyang, Feng Qingyang would have forced his way into the city.

Feng Qingyang, whose face was full of anger, watched Feng Buping quietly stuff a piece of silver ingot into the hands of the city gate officer guarding the city, and the group of people were considered to be let into the city.

Feng Qingyang snorted coldly and said, "These dog officials really deserve to be killed."

Feng Buping hurriedly said: "What Uncle Feng said is true, but aren't we looking for Yue Buqun? If Uncle Feng starts killing at the gate of the city, he will definitely scare the snake, and maybe it will alarm the people hiding in the city. Yue Buqun, so I ask Uncle Feng to bear it for a while. When we find Yue Buqun and take Yue Buqun's life, if Uncle Feng still doesn't feel relieved, then we will accompany Uncle Feng to kill those Officer Dog."

Feng Qingyang smiled slightly when he heard the words, nodded at Feng Buping and said: "Okay, you are indeed a disciple of my Huashan Sword Sect, you should have such courage."

A group of more than a dozen people were wearing swords, which were obviously eye-catching, Feng Buping quickly ordered all the disciples to disperse and search for news about Yue Buqun in the city.

As the disciples of Jianzong left, only Feng Buping was left by Feng Qingyang's side, which was no longer so eye-catching.

At this moment, the ground shook slightly, and there was a sound of horseshoes, which only shocked the refugees outside the city to follow the prestige, and saw a group of royal guards coming on horseback.

The soldiers guarding the city couldn't help being startled when they saw Jin Yiwei approaching on horseback, and one of the officials subconsciously stepped forward to stop him.

Then Chen Yao, who rushed to the front, immediately scolded: "Jin Yiwei is handling the case, and the idlers don't get out of the way."

Look at that posture, if the soldiers guarding the door don't get out of the way, Jin Yiwei will bump into him head-on.

The aura of hundreds of Jinyiwei charging forward on horseback is not something that soldiers who have never seen such a scene can bear. whizzed by.

Not long after entering the city, Feng Qingyang and Feng Buping, who had not gone far, couldn't help but change slightly when they heard the big movement behind them.

Feng Buping hurriedly pulled Feng Qingyang aside and said in a low voice: "Uncle Feng, it seems that many cavalry are coming on horseback."

Feng Qingyang frowned, didn't speak, but looked up towards the gate of the city.

Under the watchful eyes of Feng Qingyang and Feng Buping, a torrent flooded into the city.

"Jinyiwei!"

Jin Yiwei's attire was too obvious, so when Feng Buping or Feng Qingyang saw Chen Yao and the others, they recognized their identities almost immediately.

Especially Feng Qingyang, who was standing among the crowd at the side of the street, saw Li Huan surrounded by a group of guards almost at the first sight.

At the beginning, Li Huan left a deep impression on Feng Qingyang. He has been in the world for decades, and he has never suffered such a big loss.

The only time he was seriously injured was because he underestimated Li Huan, and he was severely injured by Li Huan, and almost died because of it.

One can imagine how deep Feng Qingyang's impression of Li Huan would be, so the moment he saw Li Huan, Feng Qingyang recognized Li Huan's identity.

Almost like a conditioned reflex, Feng Qingyang clenched the sword in his hand, and a murderous intent flashed from his body. Feng Buping, who was startled by the momentum of these hundreds of Jin Yiwei, suddenly felt the murderous intent on Feng Qingyang's body, and his expression couldn't help but change. Changed, almost instinctively took Feng Qingyang's arm and dodged to hide in the shop behind him.

Li Huan, who was on the horse, naturally felt the moment when Feng Qingyang revealed his murderous intent. While startled, Li Huan couldn't help but look around.

Both sides of the long street were full of people who were frightened and dodged. Although there were not many people, it was not too small. Within a range of tens of feet, there were at least hundreds of people.

Even if Li Huan is condescending, it is impossible to lock Feng Qingyang out of hundreds of people at once. After all, Feng Qingyang's murderous intent is only fleeting. If Li Huan came, he might not feel the murderous intent.

Cao Yu noticed that Li Huan's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was looking for something, so he couldn't help but screamed, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Li Huan said indifferently: "It's nothing, I just felt a murderous intent against me just now, but it's a pity that the murderous intent disappeared before I locked on the opponent."

Cao Yu's face couldn't help changing when he heard the words, a savage look flashed in his eyes and he said, "This servant will lead someone to find the other party."

Li Huan looked around, his eyes swept over the people around him, he shook his head at Cao Yu and said, "I'm afraid the other party has already left, without a target, it's not so easy to find the other party .”
