The women who were accidentally discovered were all kidnapped by people sent by Wu Shengzhi in the past few years. The disappearance of dozens of young women in Yuncheng has always been one of the things that people in Yuncheng talk about after dinner. When I go out, I am afraid that I will disappear without knowing why.Some people said that she was kidnapped by a group of strongmen who specialized in reselling women and sold to a brothel, and others said that Zhang Jinzhi's thieves sneaked into the city and snatched the woman back to be his wife in the village.

It's just that no one has ever thought that these women were imprisoned by the sheriff and became slaves.The longest one had been imprisoned in that secret room for two years and three months, and the shortest one was captured by the servants of Wu Shengzhi's house just the day before yesterday.Because Pei Shisheng killed people so quickly, he wiped out Wu Shengzhi's entire family in a short period of time, so that the servants who knew the existence of these women had no chance to tell them. Wu Shengzhi found a certain family of women, sent them out to take them to the bedroom, and then Wu Shengzhi forced them into the secret room with a knife.

When these women were rescued, they cried into tears one by one, and some people hugged the dead woman's body and cried loudly, saying, sister, why are you so anxious, if you wait one more day, you can see the sun again.The woman who was killed was arrested by Wu Shengzhi just the day before yesterday. She was a young lady from a rich family in the city. Those women stopped her, but while they were asleep, the woman still crashed her head against the silver wall to death.

When the woman's body was sent home, her mother cried and passed out.

It only took one day, and the people in the whole Yuncheng knew that those missing women were actually captured by the dignified sheriff.The crowd was so excited that many people crowded in front of the Sheriff's Mansion and demanded to kill Wu Shengzhi. They didn't know that Wu Shengzhi died last night, and Ye Huaixiu sent people to dig out his body and chop it into a meat paste not long ago. .

Li Xian sent people to appease the people and told them that Wu Shengzhi had been executed.

Some of the onlookers were even excited to set fire to Wu Shengzhi's mansion, but were stopped by the soldiers of Yanyun Village.Li Xian saw that the people's hearts were available, so he simply asked Pei Shisheng to ask questions, and let the people report and expose the crimes of those officials in Yuncheng.This time, the yamen in Dongping County was overcrowded, and they were all people who went to complain.In fact, Pei Shisheng knew more about the darkness in the officialdom than the common people. Whenever someone reported someone, he would record it, and he didn't need to verify what he knew. He directly sent the county soldiers to arrest the person.

In just half a day, more than [-] officials in Yuncheng were taken down, and the most vicious one was the arresting head of the Yuncheng yamen. In the past few years, hundreds of ordinary people and women who were forcibly insulted were killed by him. indivual.After arresting him, Pei Shisheng sent someone to capture all of the more than forty apprentices under the head catcher.

In the evening, the county soldiers were still hunting people around the city.

These county soldiers finally raised their eyebrows today. Those officials are all dignified on weekdays, but in fact they are all animals with human faces and beast hearts. The county soldiers have no scruples about attacking these people. The heroes who are now the general surnamed Li are no longer those who are officials.

As many as 70 officials and rascals were arrested that day, and the prison cells in Yuncheng were overcrowded for a while.When these scumbags were caught, they were beaten half to death by the county soldiers. When they arrived in the prison, the rogues saw that many officials had also been taken down. They were very pleased, so they joined forces to treat those officials again. A violent beating, anyway, the opportunity is rare, and the beating is useless.

The next day, Pei Shisheng was promoted to the court for questioning, and it took ten days to clear all the cases. Those who were minor were punished and sent to prison cells. Those who bullied the people and had murder cases in their hands did not need to go to court anyway. Reporting to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he directly sentenced him to death with a swipe of a pen.

Li Xian had said long ago that he would not interfere easily in Yuncheng's affairs. Since Pei Shisheng was already the county magistrate of Yuncheng, he was responsible for all the people under Yuncheng's rule.Even so, Pei Shisheng wrote down the list of prisoners, the crimes committed and how to deal with them in detail, and personally sent them to Li Xian.

"How many do you need to kill?"

Li Xian casually glanced at the long list and asked.

"There are 260 eight people who should be executed for their crimes."

Pei Shisheng replied with a haggard face.

"Should they all be killed?"

Li Xian asked again.

"They should all be killed!"

Pei Shisheng said firmly.

Li Xian nodded and asked again: "How to kill?"

"Cut and decide."

Li Xian sighed and said: "Killing so many people can indeed serve as a wake-up call to the people, and it can be regarded as very satisfying. More than 200 people lined up and beheaded seems to be a big scene...but it's not enough."

He pointed to the names of the heinous people on the list and said indifferently: "Call the people to watch the law enforcement. These people will be divided into five horses."

……

……

Cutting off 260 eight heads must be a shocking scene, but it is definitely not as strong as the effect of dismembering a few people by five horses. That is a truly shocking and tragic method.

Li Xian's purpose in doing this is simple, to establish prestige.

He once said to Pei Shisheng that no one can stand without trust. Since Yuncheng is to be governed well, rewards and punishments must be fair, and those who deserve to die must die. In order to achieve the greatest deterrent effect, killing people cannot be merciful.

The first body to be dismembered was the heinous head catcher, whose hands, feet and neck were tied with ropes by the county soldiers, and the other end of the rope was tied to the horse.Following the order from the beheading officer Pei Shisheng, the five war horses started slowly and then sped up. The head catcher was slowly pulled up while the rope was tightened. After a few seconds, , With a muffled sound, the man was torn apart.The head and limbs were separated, and the body fell to the ground with a slap, and the internal organs and minced meat fell all over the floor.

The people onlookers exclaimed in surprise, and then burst into earth-shattering cheers.

That day, the school grounds were stained with blood.

Pei Shisheng was busy rectifying the people's livelihood and government in Yuncheng, but he handled things in an orderly manner.

After the murder, a notice calling on the people to farm the fields was posted.The notice stated that all the common people who reported to the yamen will be allocated ten acres of land, and the seeds will be harvested from the Yuncheng yamen. Take back the seeds and [-]% of the harvest, and harvest [-]% in the third year.

At the beginning, the common people were watching, not believing in such a good thing like a pie in the sky.On the contrary, many homeless people went to the county government office to try it first, and finally got the seeds and the fields. Only then did the people in Yuncheng know that this was not a pie in the sky, but a good day fell from the sky!However, some homeless refugees actually cooked and ate porridge after receiving the seeds. After being found out, Pei Shisheng beheaded several of them in a row.At this time, the means must be stricter.

For a whole month, Li Xian stayed in Yuncheng, but all his men and horses were sent out separately.Except for the cavalry of the Ruijin Battalion, the four battalions attacked separately. The Houtu Battalion and the Hongshui Battalion took the three counties of Pinglu, Xuchang, and Sucheng.Qingmu camp and Liehuo camp took Lei Ze and Juye counties. In just one month, Dongping County was wiped out by the people of Yanyun Village.

Li Xian asked someone to move a reclining chair and put it in the back garden of the mansion. Watching the bright flowers in the garden in April, listening to the green birds singing, drinking a sip of wine, and reading a volume of military books, he seemed to be at ease.

Ye Huaishu walked slowly to his side and handed several good news to Li Xian.

Someone said in a grandpa style: "Read it and let me hear it."

Ye Huaixiu smiled, and instead of reading the good news, he sat down at the stone table, looked at the mess on the table and put a white piece at random: "The counties in Dongping County have all been taken down, except Li Anguang, the county magistrate of Lei Ze County, is an upright official who is popular among the people. Luo Fu and Dongfang let him stay in office after discussion. The county magistrates of several other counties were all executed, and a highly respected person was selected from the local gentry as the county magistrate. Tuntian The matter has been gradually promoted, but this matter cannot be rushed."

Li Xian hummed and asked, "Is it interesting to watch you play around with the mess yourself?"

Ye Huaixiu shook his head slowly and said, "It's not interesting."

"It's just that being alone for a long time has become a habit."

She smiled and swept the pieces on the chessboard with her hands.Li Xian sat up, smiled and said, "I'll teach you a simple way to play, it's not as labor-intensive as a game of chess, but I think it's much more fun than you messing around with the mess. When you're free, you can ask Jiaer to play a few hands with you."

"What is it?"

Li Xian separated the black and white pieces with a chuckle and said, "Gobang."

Half an hour later, Li Xian put the chess pieces aside in frustration and said, "Why are you so inhumane?"

Ye Huaixiu chuckled lightly, "How did I offend you?"

Li Xian said: "Can't you let me win a game?"

"It's something on your mind."

Ye Huaixiu glanced at Li Xian, and then picked up the chess pieces one by one and put them back into the box: "What happened, it seems quite comfortable, how can we hide it from others?"

"I feel sorry for the good things you burned."

Li Xian pretended to be sad and said.

Ye Huaixiu glared at him, remembering Li Xian's regretful expression when he ordered all the utensils for adultery in Wu Shengzhi's secret room to be burned. She chuckled lightly: "It's not wasted, I chopped firewood and made a dinner."

Li Xian frowned, and suddenly sighed softly: "Yesterday Shixin sent someone to deliver a letter."

Ye Huaixiu's face changed slightly, and the hand picking up the chess pieces stopped in mid-air: "Zhang Xutuo?"

Li Xian hummed and said: "Shixin said that Yang Guang issued an order in Liaodong to let Zhang Xutuo lead troops westward to conquer
