Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 62 So What About Exterminating the Whole Clan

Cheng Yunxiao went out of the gate.

Li Yi turned his face slightly, looked at Gao Xianzhi again, and said, "General Gao, it's still early, what do you say?"

"I have nothing to say, but, no matter whether your words are true or not, if you order your subordinates to kill the generals of the Tang Dynasty, there is only one way to die."

Gao Xianzhi was pinched by Xu Zhu's neck, and laughed at Li Yi in a hateful voice.

Even though he was extremely shocked at this moment, even though he was burning with anger, even though he was overflowing with murderous intent, he still had a gloomy face and refused to speak more.

"ridiculous!"

Li Yi had a small face of disdain, without fear of death, but said seriously, "It's nothing to kill Li Yi."

"As long as it can arouse the backbone of all the people in Anxi City, be unyielding and proud, not forget the blood debt of the six cities of Anxi, not forget that there are compatriots waiting to be rescued by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and not forget their Chinese descendants."

"So what if I kill the whole clan?!"

If you ask back, it makes people shudder.

Some people present seemed to be touched in their hearts, and they all blushed, stopped talking, and fell silent.

A child has such a heart for the country and the people, but they are still drunk on money when they are besieged by the enemy.

What an inaction.

They feel that they are not even as good as children at the moment.

"Since General Gao doesn't want to say more, I would like to ask Mr. Chang Shi, what else do you have to say?"

Gao Xianzhi's performance made Li Yi look down on him even more, but turned the conversation to Chang Shi Yang Wei.

This long history, Yang Wei, has bad character, and Li Yi wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the poll tax.

Yang Wei is the introduction.

At this moment, Yang Wei, hearing Li Yi's question, just snorted with an ugly face, and turned his face away.

Don't say anything.

"Since you don't say anything, I'll help you with one thing."

Li Yi stood there, looked at the rich Jia Shang who had walked out before, and asked, "Jia Shang, let me ask you, Chang Shi Yang, if Mr. Yang is in business, and is there anyone in the family who is rich."

Jia Shang was taken aback, then shook his head, "No."

Li Yi continued to ask, "Then I'm asking you, does General Duhu Gao go into business, and does anyone in the family have a rich family?"

Jia Shang was confused, but still shook his head, "No."

Li Yi said again, "Then let me ask you for the last time, are the generals and civil servants present here engaged in business, and is anyone in the family rich?"

At this time.

Jia Shang was completely dumbfounded, but still shook his head honestly, "No."

at this time,

Li Yi laughed, and laughed angrily, and shouted, "Since you don't have any, why do you have so much money to win the crown?!"

Everyone in the audience understood instantly.

They were all astonished. Could it be that this child wants to take care of the corruption of generals and officials?

But they were wrong.

I saw Li Yi said angrily again, "Yang Wei, as the governor of Anxi City, is in charge of government affairs. Let me ask you, when did the Tang pay the poll tax!"

"Don't give me a perfunctory sentence, it's all to resist the siege of the big food, to feed and clothe the soldiers."

"If this is the case, then I would like to ask you again, do the generals of Anxi have new cotton shirts?!"

After this question, the expressions of the generals and civil servants below changed dramatically.

They can't answer the question at all.

They know what the poll tax means.

"Why don't you answer?!"

A cold light flashed in Li Yi's eyes, and he pointed out a soldier with his finger, "Tell me, do you have any new cotton shirts?"

The pawn who was pointed out glanced at the adults around him, stepped out, knelt down on one knee and said, "General Qi, I have never seen a new piece of cloth, and even the food my brothers eat is almost moldy." gone."

Done.

The soldier seemed to be relieved, and the depression in his heart for a long time was released.

He was just a soldier guarding the adults, with a humble status, he could only follow behind them and eat a mouthful of hot soup.

"Without a piece of new cloth, I eat food that is about to mold."

"Yeah!!!"

Li Yi's killing intent soared, and he shouted, "Yang Wei, tell me where the poll tax went!"

At this time, Yang Wei was already covered in cold sweat, he hesitated and dared not speak.

Because if you say this, let the court know that more than half of the generals and civil servants present will be punished with death, and at worst, the whole family will be punished.

"Didn't you say that!"

Seeing Yang Wei's silence, Li Yihan gave an order to Dianwei,

"Dian Wei, break his leg!"

"If he continues not to speak, then slowly crush all the bones in his body until he speaks!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Dian Wei held a pair of maces and strode towards Yang Wei, his eyes under the iron face radiated a tyrannical light.

Facing Dian Wei's arrival, Yang Wei hissed and said, "Ergan, I am the governor of Anxi Governor's House. Even if I am guilty, the imperial court will issue a document and detain President Chang'an for trial."

"If you dare to use private behavior, you will be sentenced to death."

But Dian Wei was not moved at all, instead he said disdainfully, "Dirty things would never be afraid of death."

The words fall.

Dian Wei slapped away the house slave in front of Yang Wei, grabbed Yang Wei who was about to retreat, put down the two maces in his hands, pressed Yang Wei's right leg, and snapped it.

"Card it!"

"what……"

The calf bone was broken alive, and Yang Wei let out a miserable scream.

The people around him were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they backed away in fear, widening the distance between them and Dian Wei.

"This is the first time, let's take it slowly."

Dian Wei showed a devilish smile, but it was a pity that it was covered by an iron mask so that everyone could not see it.

otherwise.

People here will be terrified.

however.

Only one person had no fear, but Lihua stood behind Li Yi with rain.

She is Caiyue on stage.

Before Li Yi revealed his identity and deeds, Caiyue immediately felt that her decision was not wrong.

It would be her blessing if she could die with such a bloody Li Yi.

"It's the thigh bone now, bear with it."

Dian Wei placed both hands on Yang Wei's thigh bone, and before Yang Wei could speak in horror, he folded again violently.

"Card it!"

The violent broken bones made Yang Wei roll on the ground in pain, and he shouted in a miserable voice, "I said, I said, don't break my bones anymore, I'd rather die."

Dian Wei sneered, "Hey, you can decide whether you die or not. If you don't hurry up and tell me, I'll continue with your right calf and slowly crush every inch of your bone from the broken bone."

Yang Wei was so frightened that he almost lost his courage when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "The poll tax collected a total of 500 million taels of silver, of which 200 million taels were honored to General Gao, I took 100 million taels, and the remaining 200 million taels were distributed to Sima. Lord Wang, with our trusted officials and generals..."

"shut up!"

Gao Xianzhi wanted to stop Yang Wei from speaking at the beginning, but Xu Zhu pinched his neck, making it difficult for him to speak.

He held back these two words for a long time, and Xu Zhusong let him roar out.

"Xu Zhu, I don't want to hear General Gao's voice."

Regarding Gao Xianzhi's roar, Li Yi motioned to Xu Zhu to pinch Gao Xianzhi.

Then, he said to Yang Wei, "Go on, it's best to have evidence to prove what you said."

"Yes, yes, this is the ledger of the poll tax, and there are clear records on it."
