People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 285 Lianzong of the Liu Family, Bachelor of the North Gate

At the gate of the county government office, Li Xuan was in the lead, followed by a group of Qianniu guards in two rows.

A group of people rode slowly from the end of the street.

Almost all of them were the same, the Thousand Bull Sword was casually thrown aside, seemingly lazy, but a closer look revealed that their hands were holding the reins tightly, and their bodies were straight.

It seems that as long as you encounter danger, you can immediately turn into a jumping tiger, grabbing a knife and fighting.

The group of people was not moving fast, and everyone had no expression on their faces, but under the flickering lights, it looked a little inexplicably permeating.

Standing at the gate of the county government office, Kang Yao watched the crowd of Qianniuwei approached, headed by Li Xuan, with a serious expression on his face.

He came down from the battlefield of the Western Regions, and it could be seen at a glance that Li Xuan led this group of Qianniu Guards through a slaughter.

Looking at Qianniuwei's attitude that almost no one was missing, Kang Yao knew that this must be an almost one-sided massacre.

Kang Yao subconsciously glanced at the two sides, surrounded by local conscripts wearing rattan armor and wallets.

Only a few people wore iron armor.

Even though he was among a group of conscripts, Kang Yao still felt uncomfortable as he watched Li Xuan approach from a distance.

Murderous awe-inspiring ah!

Kang Yao walked down the steps quickly, walked over to help Li Xuan hold the horse rope, and then said respectfully: "My lord, among the officials of the county government who were sent home, five people from Facao went out overnight. There are three in Cao Cao, one in Cang Cao, and no one in the master's office."

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly, but then suddenly came to her senses, got off her horse, and said: "It is enough for the chief secretary and official to have him alone, and the other masters, documents, court officials, and other officials all follow his orders. , He has made a decision, an order, and everyone else needs to obey... Or, the entire registrar's office is his people, and they all know what to do when, and there is no need to mess around at all."

"If so, it's scary." Kang Yao's mouth twitched slightly, his expression very ugly.

"Let's talk about the evidence. If you find one, you will do it. If you are a fanatic of Tianyin Sect, then you can only kill him as an example." Li Xuan paused slightly as he walked in, with a cold expression on his face.

Kang Yao's face suddenly became very ugly.

If Li Xuan's words and actions were really followed, there would be a sea of ​​people dead now.

"My lord, as well as the people in Dongyang City, there are quite a few people who believe in Tianyin Goddess these years. I wonder if we can make a difference?" Kang Yao's expression was very begging.

Li Xuan glanced at Kang Yao in surprise, finally shook his head, and said, "Where did the county lieutenant go? This king has never planned to kill people in Dongyang City. As for the ordinary people who believe in Tianyin Sect, the county You don't have to worry about it, it's just a trivial matter.

Perhaps for others, it is really difficult to deal with the people in the city, but this king is a Taoist child after all, and I have also learned the things about destroying mountains and destroying temples and prohibiting prostitution. "

"Your Majesty is wise." Kang Yao finally came to his senses.

Who in this world can compare with Buddhism and Taoism in dealing with the issue of belief?

While speaking, Li Xuan and Kang Yao had entered the courtroom.

In the courtroom at the moment, many people were busy back and forth without touching the ground, holding one file after another in their hands, and quickly put them in front of Gu Tan, the county magistrate.

Gu Tan reviewed the file quickly, and quickly signed the file and sent it away.

Li Xuan walked up to Gu Tan, just as Gu Tan was about to stand up, Li Xuan waved her hand directly: "Forget it, you are busy with your work, is the problem serious now?"

Gu Tan nodded, and said with a serious face: "It's not small, the entire household Cao's file has obviously been revised, and it involves many wealthy families in the city. The details are still unclear, but most of them involve the Liu family, a local wealthy family.

In the past two years or so, the Liu family has occupied a lot of fields in the surrounding area.

Especially in the past six months, the Liu family has made great moves. It is said that they have loaned a lot of interest money to ordinary people, saying that they will let the people pay back after the summer harvest is over. If not, they will use Yongyetian to pay off the debt . "

Li Xuan nodded, and suddenly, he asked abruptly: "The Liu family, do they have any special assistance in the court?"

"It doesn't count." Gu Tan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It is rumored that the Liu family and Liu Yizhi, the member of Zhongshushe, are Lianzong."

"Lian Zong?" Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked back: "Is this nonsense or is it true, did Luoyang say hello?"

Lianzong, people with the same surname who have no clan relationship are recognized as their own family.

In this dynasty, the most famous person in Lianzong was Li Jingxuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Li Jingxuan was born in Qiao County, Bozhou. He was connected to the Li family of Zhao County, and even entered the family tree of the Li family of Zhao County.

Gu Tan shook his head slowly: "I didn't say hello, but as soon as the news came out, the children of the Liu family immediately swaggered. Maybe it's true."

"How could it be true?" Li Xuan sneered, and said, "Liu Yizhi, a member of the Central Shushe, is from Jinling, Changzhou. How far is Changzhou from Wuzhou? I know why it is so silent."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan snorted coldly: "This matter must be false, there is someone who dares to pretend to be a relative of a senior member of the court... So, it just so happens that this king is going to the capital of faith to report this matter to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager." The county magistrate may not be aware that what your Majesty and the Empress hate the most is this kind of local aristocrats who invade the common people's land."

"Your official understands, but Mr. Liu, a member of Zhongshushe, is a Bachelor of the North Gate!" Gu Tan's face has become full of bitterness.

"It's okay, this matter must be fake, I know it well." Li Xuan waved her hand indifferently.

But there was a chill in his heart.

It's fine if this matter is false, but if it is true, then there will be excitement.

The Beimen scholar is the most powerful assistant around Empress Wu. With Empress Wu's way of governing the country, she doesn't care how much or how little your private property is, but these must be obtained in an open and honest manner.

She can give you a thousand hectares of land, but you can't plunder half an acre of people without authorization. The closer you are, the stricter her requirements will be.

If you can find a letter related to Liu Yizhi, it is impossible to say that you will be dismissed immediately, but it is inevitable to lose the trust of Empress Wu.

Without the trust of Empress Wu, the Beimen Bachelor is nothing more than a small official of the fifth rank.

"This matter will be dealt with later. The most important thing at the moment is the clerks of the county government. Where did they go after they left home?" Li Xuan's face became serious.

Although it is said that he killed nearly 30 people in the abandoned tower before, there were only 30 people.

Li Xuan couldn't believe that there were only thirty of them on such a crucial place as Dongyang.

"The brothel, the Lichun Courtyard in Yongxingfang." Gu Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no mention of Zhongshu Sheren and Beimen Bachelor, everything is nothing.

After a slight pause, Gu Tan continued, "These people all left shortly after entering it, and they didn't go to other places after that."

"En!" Li Xuan nodded, and said, "There is one thing. Last month, the center issued an order to block and destroy possible underground tunnels. Have you done this?"

"It has already been completed." Kang Yao on the side immediately cupped his hands and said, "This matter was done together by the humble officer and Xi Canjun, and all the possible entrances to the underground passages were completely destroyed.

Dongyang was formerly known as Hanning County and Wuning County. The city was built here in the reign of Emperor Xiandi at the end of Han Dynasty. It has been nearly 500 years ago. However, despite years of wars, it has little impact on Dongyang. Although there are some underground passages, they are not many. Coupled with the impact of rain, there are even fewer usable..."

"This lord doesn't mean that. What I mean is, is there any possibility of reopening the secret passage that was closed by you, especially near Lichun Courtyard, is there such an entrance?" Li Xuan looked straight at Besides Kang Yao, there was also Xi Ying standing not far away.

When he was in Yangzhou, Li Xuan met those people from Tianyin Sect who secretly opened the previously closed secret passage, and now in Dongyang, he also had to guard against it.

"My lord, don't worry, there are no secret passages near Lichun Courtyard, or even in the entire Yongxingfang." Kang Yao immediately cupped his hands affirmatively, and Xi Ying behind him also nodded subconsciously.

"Now, immediately send people to watch all the exits of the secret passages. If anyone finds out, follow up immediately. Don't disturb them. If you find anything, report back immediately."

"Here!" Xi Ying immediately cupped his hands, then turned and went to make arrangements.

"My lord!" Kang Yao said with some concern: "Although we act quickly for tonight's matter, it is inevitable that some fish who slip through the net will escape from the secret passage in the dark. Is it a little late for this matter? Do you want to leave the city immediately? ..."

"No, the government soldiers under the king's command have sealed all the gates and bridge entrances of Dongyang County. Except for those who were deliberately let go, no one else can escape." Li Xuan's words made people feel ashamed. Kang Yao and Xi Ying couldn't help but tighten their eyes.

They have now somewhat figured out the Nanchang king's behavior style, and arranged in advance to block all internal and external traffic, and then they will be able to find the opponent's main force to slaughter them all, and finally release one or two hooks to see what big fish they can catch.

From Huang Ziming, to Li Dingyi, to the ancient pagoda by the lake, as it is now, and even in the future, it will be the same.

In any case, a complete killing is indispensable in the end.

It's just that after this time, the entire Dongyang City, I don't know how many people will die.

"Three things!" Li Xuan said, Gu Tan and Kang Yao agreed at the same time, Li Xuan said with a serious face: "Tonight, try to eliminate all the Tianyin traitors that exist in Dongyang City overnight, and then, tomorrow, call Dongyang each family No matter what, the wealthy families, the aristocratic families, and local elders have arranged for this year's summer harvest. No matter what, the summer harvest cannot be affected in the slightest. What's more, it is recruiting soldiers..."

Gu Tan and Kang Yao looked at each other with solemn expressions, and at the same time cupped their hands and said, "Here!"
