Lei Yuan raised his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat.

So the soldiers threw Wenbu, tied up on the ground, and some people spitted at him hatefully. That should have been done by Chen De's close subordinates.

Wenbu was surprisingly calm.

He shook his head vigorously, shook the saliva on his face slightly, and then struggled to sit cross-legged: "I have seen General Lei's majesty again. The rural tyrants in the despicable land were hard to be a blow from General Fenwei. I just don't understand, General, why do you want this?"

Lei Yuan was simply a little confused. Is Li Zhen's voice not loud enough just when he reported the crime?

So he took the prison document from Li Zhen and threw it in front of Wenbu.

"You can take a closer look. I'll have someone turn it over for you. I'd like to see it a few more times."

Wenbu shook his head repeatedly.

"General, I don't mean this." He raised his eyes and looked at Lei Yuan and said in a deep voice: "My Zigui Wen family is not the kind of tyrant who is ignorant of the world. Since the general recommended him to seize the real power of the county, he did not dare to violate the general. The general wants to recruit troops, and the county will send people. The general wants to set up iron smelting, and our clan responds immediately. In addition, there is no negligence in the civilian mouth, land rent, and taxes. I really don't understand why the general is like this?"

He took a few breaths and continued, "If anyone in my tribe offended the general, with your order, I will immediately tie it to the road of the barbarians and let it be killed; if you are dissatisfied with the offerings when the army was transiting the border a few days ago, I will only say that no matter how many, I will be willing to serve it with both hands. Why do you have to do this level, General?"

"You don't understand?" Lei Yuan picked up the prison document: "Do you think the documents are all fake?"

"Of course it's true." Wenbu sneered, "But so what? Are those big deals? If the number of registered households is insufficient, we can capture Jingman to fill it. The tax revenue of the iron farm is indeed short, so we can make up for it. We sold those iron tools to the prefect of Nanjun. What's wrong with this? Only in order to expand the production of carbohydrates as soon as possible, they mobilized people, enslaved a group of grass-roots people, and killed a few... but, but..."

Wenbu stared at Lei Yuan with a ferocious face: "But is that a crime? My Zigui Wen family is loyal to the county government and Xuande Gong. General, why are you like this? Can you explain it clearly?"

To a certain extent, Wenbu is right. In the eyes of many local tyrants, the books can explain to the superior prefectures and counties, and don’t have to be short of offerings or bribes that should be paid. As for enslaving and exploiting the people, what is it?

In modern times, local tyrants have been ruthless and have been used to being rampant. Almost every powerful clan does what the Zigui Wen family and Deng family do. Including Lei Yuan was in Huainan, almost all the Huainan tyrants who came into contact with him were like this.

The people of Guizhou heads in the troubled times have no place to stand and struggle to survive with all their might, but they can't escape the military disaster, the urgency of officials, and the oppression of the wealthy clans. Their value of existence seems to be just driven and exploited. However, the powerful and prosperous families of the wealthy clans are only more powerful than in the past. The so-called national law has been left behind for decades. They do not think this is something that can restrain them, nor do they think that the lives of the ants are fate.

They had already reached the extreme of their ability and were so righteous that Lei Yuan had taken their crimes seriously that Wen Bu could not understand!

Such absurd scene made Lei Yuan laugh out loud.

"Why is this? Clan Chief Wen can ask such a question. It is really not unfair to punish him with an axe."

He returned the documents to Li Zhen and ordered: "Hanzhang, take all these people out, and in front of the people, to clear the sanctions of the sanctions. Wenbu, Wenshuo and others, hang their heads with the highest poles to show respect."

Since you can't figure it out, don't think it's time to think about it. Lei Yuan doesn't think he needs to explain it. He is not a member of the crowd, and even if he explains it, they can't accept it.

Li Zhen acted in response and directed his subordinates to drag Wenbu and others out of the dock wall.

This situation caused Wenbu's calm appearance to be disguised quickly to peel off. He began to cry, beg for mercy, and even began to incoherently raise the reliance he thought: "Lei Yuan, don't do it nonsense! Do you know who is supporting us? Do you, the unfounded border barbarian, dare to fight against Mi Zhonglang and Mi Prefect?"

Wenbu's shouts gradually faded away, and after he walked around a wall and left Lei Yuan's sight, he continued to spread outward. Lei Yuan frowned and said to another entourage: "Let him stop!"

The entourage rushed out as he ordered, and Wenbu's shout suddenly stopped.

"Wen Si!" Lei Yuan called again.

Wen Si came quickly: "General, the villain is here."

Lei Yuan glanced at him and asked in a deep voice: "Your surname is Wen, and some of your subordinates are Wen. Do you have any opinions on my handling of the situation?"

Wen Si pondered for a moment and whispered: "Although my subordinates and I were surnamed Wen Bu and Wen Shuo, there were no relatives like Wen Bu. Since they trampled on national laws for their own selfish interests, they might also betray the lord for their own selfish interests in the future. Such people should be severely punished!"

"Hey!" Lei Yuan sighed.

This old man who had been in the army for decades but had been in the lower-level military positions burst out with his lifelong wisdom at this time. The reasons he proposed were really beautiful, and Lei Yuan could not have thought it was so proper.

No one knows whether the Wen family and Deng family will be against the king in the future. Perhaps it is unknown whether Duke Xuande treats his subordinates with kindness and can win over his heart. But now Lei Yuan needs to be so specific, and Wen Si also needs a reason to turn against each other with confidence, so that's it. The fastest update is computer::/

"How many of your subordinates and close comrades, are there people with the surname Wen? So what do they think?"

"There are fifteen people! They are all like me, firmly loyal to the general!"

"Then let these fifteen people... and Chen De's subordinates stay here for the time being. You will serve as the county magistrate of Zigui County, and the soldiers will serve as military positions at all levels of county soldiers to enrich your strength. Remember, the people who are guilty are the people, not the Wen clan. So after dealing with the sinners today, everything in Zigui County will be restored as usual. You should take on the affairs of the Wen clan first. Is it possible?"

Wen Si was ecstatic and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Don't worry, General! I will definitely do it! I...we...will serve the general!"

"Well, try your best to do it. If there is any disagreement, I will support you!"

"Yes! Yes!" Wen Si was happy and excited, and suddenly started to cry.

The Wen family of Zigui was a branch of Nanyang Wen family who moved to Zigui from the Han Dynasty. Although it was far from the home of Zhongming Ding Food, it had a total of 2,000 stones. Such a clan was a bit rash with a veteran like Wen Si to manage it, and it would inevitably lead to many troubles.

But what Lei Yuan wants is the trouble.

It should be noted that these powerful surnames have their own foundation in the local area. At the grassroots level, the number of clan towns they control can be compared with the number of people in the imperial court. The government orders are incompatible, as if they are separatist; in the county, they serve as the assistant officials of counties and townships at all levels, as well as the heads of pavilions and the three elders.

Although Lei Yuan could sweep them away by the name of handling cases, who could he use to make up for this vacancy? Previously, he tried to recruit scholars from Jingxiang to enrich his subordinates, and then crossed the local village heroes to form a county government that was like an arm commander. But the result was that Guo Fu killed someone and covered up Xiang Lang.

So this time, Lei Yuan decided to change his approach.

He asked Wen Si to temporarily control the Zigui Wen family, which would definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people in the clan, and then cause turmoil that affects the entire clan. Such turmoil may cause the clan to split up or cause further intervention in the county government. No matter what, Lei Yuan is happy to see.

As an experienced old soldier, Wen Si thought to understand what this task represents to him and his close family. The soldiers who returned home, led by him, would definitely not be afraid to use the most intense means to protect their own interests. In that case, Lei Yuangao would be at the county seat and would become more and more comfortable to advance and retreat.

In short, the suppression of the powerful people in Yidu County is about to begin, and this purge will not stop at the same place. It can affect the powerful people in various counties and counties. As long as the Lei family in the Lujiang area is enough in Yidu, all other powerful people must be honest and follow the boundaries set by Lei Yuan.

Such suppression will inevitably cause a rebound, but Lei Yuan is determined to rely on the strength of the soldiers to fill the place. If it is not enough, he will delegate more soldiers. As long as there are enough soldiers who have formed a friendship on the battlefield, they will be enough to compete with the local tyrants!

This is probably the way to deal with local areas. As for Jingzhou Prefecture and Jiangling City...

Lei Yuan grabbed the short moustaches that had been left behind in the past few days, which was a little strange.
