Lei Yuan stood at a corner opposite the gate of the prison.
The weather became colder at night. Lei Yuan went out around noon and his clothes were a little thin, so he was inevitably affected by the cold at this time. The moisture penetrated through the gaps in his robe, making his right arm feel sore.
But his anger rose in his heart and he didn't feel cold at all.
Over the past few months, Lei Yuan has been fighting in Yizhou. When he returned to Yidu, most of what he saw was a prosperous scene. This made Lei Yuan very pleased and was inseparable from the efforts of his subordinates and officials in the county.
Especially Guo Fu, he was an important subordinate of Lei Yuan's appointment after he became a senior official of the 2,000-stone. With his family background from the original Gaomen, he took the initiative to join his command and further improved Lei Yuan's reputation.
But what happened later? When Lei Yuan went out just once, he encountered such a situation and found that the lives of the people were not as good as he expected. In order to cover up the Mi family, Guo Fu dared to kill people before Lei Yuan... This inevitably made Lei Yuan feel depressed.
Guo Fu is like this, what about the others?
The iron farm controlled by the Mi family is right next to Yidao City. In the past few months, it has greatly exceeded the normal transportation volume. It has to pass through the only road from the city to the dock. This can really hide the many eyes from the city. So many subordinates and so many officials from all over the city, and there have been no clues in the seven months.
There are only six counties in Yidu County. As one sixth of Zigui County, it encroached on a large scale for enslavement and labor. Hexian County was almost completely out of the middle-aged and even the poor. The carboniferous farm expanded in this way is the main supplier of the iron farm in Yidao City. Those driven people cannot try to seek help. Such arbitrary act can really hide from Xiang Chong, who is responsible for calculating the people, and then from the experienced county magistrate Xiang Lang?
It is impossible. Many people must know this Yidao City. However, some people do not want to provoke the Jingxiang High School behind the iron field; some people deliberately cover up for various reasons; and some people do not take the suffering of the ant people seriously in their hearts.
This feeling made Lei Yuan even more angry.
He once thought that the great families of contemporary times were very interesting. The families were always those families. Twenty years ago, the dark politics and cruel oppression they participated in created, which made the people live in poverty, and thus created the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept the world. Now, when Duke Xuande entered Jingzhou, young people in the same family embarked on the career of officials and became virtuous people who saved the world and the people, and wanted to rebuild a peaceful and prosperous era with Duke Xuande.
Have these people changed their minds? Or are these noble families who have sucked the blood and bone marrow of generations of Guizhou leaders to nourish their own thriving suddenly become completely renewed from top to bottom?
Lei Yuan believed that many scholars must have figured out many principles of governing the country through this terrible troubled times.
But there is a saying in later generations that is good: only individuals who betray the class, no class that betrays interests. More people will not change, nor will they change.
No matter what the world becomes, they are always like this. Once it is possible, they will have to squeeze out oil from the people. As for the lives and death of the people, compared to their own careers and family rights, they will eventually be slapped.
Now it seems that none of these characters are trustworthy.
The question is, who is really trustworthy?
Lei Yuan vaguely remembers reading history books in his previous life, saying that Zhuge Liang was upset and sleeping at night, and was troubled by food. Some frivolous people said that Zhuge Liang did not know how to delegate power. Now he suddenly understood Zhuge Liang's helplessness. Even if all the officials in Shu are handsome in the world, who is the most expensive family behind him? He has to stare at it with a corner of the world!
Later, Jiang Gongyan and Fei Wenwei, who ruled the country, were either elegant, magnanimous, and magnanimous. In fact, it was nothing more than relaxing the reins strangled on the neck of scholars.
Lei Yuan should have understood this principle long ago. However, when he was managing the clan tribe, he relied on his official power, military power and the clan power of life and death, and he suppressed it downwards. He was also meticulous, so no major problems occurred in two years. But it was really different to govern a county.
At this time, Han Zong came out and reported to Lei Yuan: "Sect Master, Guo Fu hanged himself."
Lei Yuan nodded slightly.
"We have also arrested those jailers. How do you think about it?"
"Ask carefully. Don't let anyone go if you are involved in the murder just now. Just behead them here! The rest don't need to be implicated." Lei Yuan made a firm gesture of striking. Lei Yuan was not good at killing indiscriminately, but he followed the supervisor to kill innocent prisoners who were a jailer, so he should not escape responsibility.
Han Zong left as he was ordered. After a while, the troops controlled one by one, pushed nearly ten prisoners out, and beheaded them one by one on the street.
Because the beheading was not quick enough, the first person who was beheaded was cut twice and not dead. He shouted, but blood had already splashed out from the wound, flowing along the pebbles paved on the road, and many more were directly sprinkled on the soldiers' armor and robes.
The soldier responsible for beheading was scolded by his companions. He argued a few times, and he plucked up his strength to cut another knife, and finally chopped his head down.
The other jailers struggled wildly, some begging for mercy, some scolding, and some screaming. A shrill voice came into the night sky, alarming most of the Yidao City.
In the nearby Lifang and the government office, there were barking dogs one after another, and some people were holding weapons and climbing up the wall to look out. Han Zong immediately sent officials and soldiers to shout along the street, telling them that General Fenwei was personally catching the criminals, and don’t panic if they had nothing to do, and retreat to their homes.
Beheading is a craft job, and if you don’t master the key points, it will consume a lot of physical strength. The soldiers responsible for killing these ten prisoners changed six people, and it took a long time to complete the task.
At this time, Li Zhen came to report again: "The head of the sect, Xiang Lang, the county magistrate, led the officials of the Cao and his subordinates in the city."
"Oh? It's very soon."
I saw dozens of people gathered together under the lights and stood in the distance of the street. Most of them were wearing regular casual clothes. Perhaps because they heard that Lei Yuan was fighting in the prison, they rushed to check it out. What is more likely is that since Yuan Ning was sent to the prison where the supervisor belonged, they have been paying attention to the movements here. From the Han Zong to the prison, Shen Zhen mobilized troops to control the Wen family's industry, and they were ready to respond at any time.
After all, these people are smart people and have hearts.
Lei Yuan stood there pressing his sword and raised his eyes to meet him. These subordinates and officials looked at each other with cold eyes, all bowed and performed manners, but they were reluctant to step forward.
These people still need to be used. Lei Yuan cannot exclude them, and he will inevitably be unable to manage the local area.
Lei Yuan himself was not from the head of the Guizhou people, but a beneficiary of the powerful clans. Everything he gained in this life was based on the status of the Lujiang Lei clan and the tens of thousands of people driven by the clan. This determined his position, which could only rely on scholars to reconcile conflicts and protect the interests of the oppressed within his ability.
But Lei Yuan would never let go of those rotten and pus-flowing people. He had both great righteousness and swords in his hands, so who would he be afraid of? The beheading in the street in front of him was just the beginning!
"Hanzhang!" Lei Yuan called out: "Take some people and go to the iron farm outside the city with me."
"Abide by the order!"
Li Zhen immediately summoned his entourage and brought the horses to Lei Yuan.
Lei Yuan rode his horse straight to Xiang Lang and other officials, and whipped it and said, "Everyone, please follow me."
Xiang Lang took a little step forward and said in a deep voice: "Mingfu, the city has been under curfew at this time. Several troops have been transferred in and out, which may cause uneasiness to the military and civilians. It is better to..."
What Xiang Lang was worried about was of course not the uneasiness of the military and civilians. Lei Yuan only leaned over slightly and smiled at him: "Judha doesn't have to worry. With me here, the military and civilians will only be as safe as Mount Tai. Now I want to go out of the city to do business, will you come?"
