Cui Ji, Ding Chaozhong and others, who had been frightened by the people's shouts of killing, suddenly heard Jin Ping's shouts.
Especially when Jin Ping confidently shouted that he would kill Jin Yiwei to save them, Cui Ji, Ding Chaozhong and others couldn't help but have some hope in their eyes.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, none of them want to die.
Especially the way the people looked at them was really terrifying. They were really worried that they would be torn apart by these people like Tang Zhen.
"Jin Ping save me!"
"Sir, save us!"
Suddenly, dozens of officials couldn't help shouting at Jin Ping.
If there were really only a few dozen Jin Yiwei before, Jin Ping would definitely have shouted to save people, but now Jin Ping was overwhelmed by the formation of hundreds of Jin Yiwei he saw in front of him.
Li Huan glanced at Jin Ping coldly, with a somewhat disdainful sneer on his lips, and said calmly to Du Guang, "Du Guang, lead someone to capture these people for me."
Du Guang responded, and immediately waved his hand, and saw more than a hundred Jinyi guards carrying Xiuchun knives like tigers rushing into the herd of sheep. In an instant, the previously aggressive team of servants fled in all directions, and even wished that they could give birth to two more
Come on legs.
Du Guang slapped Jin Ping to the ground, lifted Jin Ping up like a chicken, and then threw Jin Ping next to Cui Ji and Ding Chaozhong.
Seeing the scattered servants who were killed, the little hope they had just had was instantly destroyed. Ding Chaozhong and Cui Ji had looks of despair on their faces.
After a cup of tea, hundreds of servants were escorted over by Jin Yiwei like bereaved dogs.
Li Huan looked at the confessions about Cui Ji, Ding Chaozhong and others presented by a Jinyi Guardsman, and then sneered: "These people are really greedy. There are tens of thousands of stones of grain hidden in their own grain cellars."
, but they even raised the price of food, and even refused to let go of the food allocated by the court to help the victims."
The people all around looked at Cui Ji, Jin Ping, Ding Chaozhong and others with hatred.
Several village elders came out, bowed to Li Huan and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, you must make the decision for us people."
Today, the true colors of these officials were exposed, and all the people were frightened and a little worried.
In the eyes of these people, it is a matter of course for officials to protect each other. No matter how Li Huan was an imperial envoy, it was impossible for him to kill all the officials in the entire Huayin County.
When the time comes, Li Huan and his people pat their butts and leave, but they still have to rely on the government's food relief to survive, and those officials who were lucky enough to escape don't know what they will do to them, the common people.
Li Huan took a step forward, helped several village elders up, and said with a serious look on his face: "You don't have to be like this. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Several village elders looked at each other and then at the dozens of officials, big and small. One of them gritted his teeth and looked at Li Huan and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder how you are going to deal with these people?"
Li Huan was stunned for a moment. Seeing the worries in everyone's eyes, he immediately reacted and guessed the worries in these people's hearts. While Li Huan laughed, he couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in his heart.
"Kill, confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, leaving no one behind!"
As soon as Li Huan said these words, several village elders couldn't help but be stunned, with surprise and disbelief on their faces.
When Cui Ji, Ding Chaozhong and other officials, big and small, heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
Especially some officials, they think that they are just small officials who follow the crowd. Even if they are involved in a major case of embezzlement and food relief, as the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, Li Huan, the imperial envoy, would at most kill Cui Ji.
, Ding Chaozhong, Jin Ping are just a few leaders, and these officials are the ones who maintain the normal operation of the affairs of a county. When the time comes, they will still be relied on to maintain the affairs of Huayin County.
Therefore, from the very beginning, many junior staff members looked terrified, but in fact they were not very nervous or worried in their hearts.
They can't die anyway. As long as Li Huan kills the leaders, they will still be high-ranking members of the government. At that time, there will be plenty of opportunities and means to deal with these untouchables who dare to make trouble.
Even some officials are secretly remembering the civilians who led them to shout and kill the most violently. When the time comes, they will let these untouchables know what it means to have the rule of law and what it means to kill without blood.
When several village elders asked Li Huan how to deal with them, some people couldn't help but look at Li Huan with hope, hoping that Li Huan would say that he would only kill a few of the culprits and the rest would be punished and meritorious service.
After all, it is almost done like this many times, and they have become accustomed to it.
But Li Huan's murderous words shocked everyone.
"Conquer the entire family and exterminate the entire clan, leaving no one behind!"
Is this to kill the families of Cui Ji, Tang Zhen, Ding Chaozhong, Jin Ping and others? If none of these families are killed, then that's fine, but if all the officials are killed...
A village elder said in a trembling voice: "Does the Imperial Envoy mean to kill all the officials?"
Li Huan nodded slightly, looked at the officials who were kneeling on the ground, and sneered in the desperate eyes of these officials: "The entire Huayin County government is rotten from top to bottom. It is not enough to kill all these people."
Shocking.”
Hearing Li Huan's words of certainty, all the people couldn't help but bow down to Li Huan with tears in their eyes and shouted: "Thank you so much, the imperial envoy, and thank you, the imperial envoy, for making the decision for us."
The officials were extremely excited and roared at Li Huan: "Li Huan, you thief, how can you kill us? Aren't you afraid that the whole Huayin County will fall into chaos?"
Li Huan just looked at these officials with disdain and said, "I really thought that without you, Huayin County would really come to a standstill."
As he spoke, Li Huan glanced at the people and shouted: "Is there any scholar who is willing to temporarily maintain order in Huayin County, or is there someone who is willing to serve as a soldier to feed himself?"
There was silence among the people all around. Suddenly, a weak scholar stood up timidly and said: "Sir, Chen Yu, a scholar from Tonglin Town, Huayin County, is a young scholar. Although he has little talent and little knowledge, he is still willing to do his best for his hometown elders."
Soon, dozens of accomplished scholars and even young students came forward. Most of these people were poor scholars who returned to their hometowns to earn a living by tutoring some of their children after giving up the imperial examination.
Compared with the scholars who came from wealthy gentry and wealthy families, these people are also busy making a living for their families. In fact, they are just more scholars than ordinary people.
It is precisely these people who have extremely high influence among the common people and can be regarded as scholars who truly come from poor families.
Among the tens of thousands of refugees, there were no less than a hundred scholars like Chen Yu. As more and more scholars came forward, a smile gradually appeared on Li Huan's lips.
Li Huan killed many scholars, but almost all of the scholars he killed came from wealthy families, or were scholars supported by wealthy families.
Compared with these poor scholars, acid scholars, and those scholars Li Huan killed who looked no different from ordinary people, they were simply two different entities.
Although these scholars have never dealt with government affairs, they have a very high influence among the people, just like the village elders.
Li Huan feels that even if the Huayin County government is handed over to these scholars, no matter how poorly these people manage it, it will definitely be much better than leaving a group of officials with no bottom line of conscience.
At least with these scholars here, and with the cooperation of the village elders, as long as the hundreds of thousands of people in Huayin County still have something to eat, no one will rebel.
A tall and tall man suddenly stood up and said to Li Huan with a bit of embarrassment: "Sir, I...I am willing to serve as a soldier and feed myself. Can you accept me?"
Li Huan glanced at the man and nodded slightly.
As if there was a leader, hundreds of burly men soon stood up. However, it was obvious that these people were so hungry that they were all weak because they had not eaten. Many of them were so hungry that only their burly bodies were left.
The bones are broken.
Almost a stick of incense passed, and hundreds of scholars and four to five hundred big men stood up. Under Li Huan's instructions, a dozen scholars led more than a hundred big men and followed a few Jin Yiwei to rush into the city, preparing to
Transport the relief grain from the granary and start to provide relief to the victims.
Seeing that Li Huan actually used the scholars among the refugees to do things, all the officials who originally had a glimmer of hope were completely desperate.
"kill!"
Accompanied by a loud shout.
The head of a famous official rolled to the ground, and dozens of officials were beheaded by Li Huan without hesitation in front of countless people in Huayin County.
Seeing this scene, countless people were stunned at first, and then they reacted and shouted at Li Huan.
Many people directly regarded Li Huan as the Grand Master of Qingtian. After all, there were too few officials like Li Huan who did not protect him.
After killing these officials, the next step was to confiscate their properties. It was not that Li Huan was eager to collect money and property, but that Li Huan learned that these people had tens of thousands of stones of food hidden in their homes.
What really matters.
Originally, the relief grain distributed by the imperial court to Huayin County was only more than 10,000 dan, which seemed like a lot. However, with the hundreds of thousands of refugees in Huayin County, a mere 10,000 dan of food could last for a few days.
Once there is no food, countless people will starve to death and even some people will go to extremes.
Now Li Huan no longer has to worry about insufficient food. Just a simple calculation, Tang family, Jin family, Ding family and other families, plus a group of officials, not to mention the money saved by these families.
How much, in terms of food alone, if added up, it would be as much as hundreds of thousands of stones.
That was hundreds of thousands of kilo of grain. If that much was not copied, the hundreds of thousands of people in Huayin County could eat it for several months without any problem.
Dozens of village elders and scholars listened to Li Huan telling them how much food each family had saved. When they learned that if these families confiscated their food, they could get hundreds of thousands of dan, many people were dumbfounded.
With a grunt, a scholar opened his eyes wide and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, do you really agree that all the confiscated grains will be used to provide relief to the victims?"
After all, they are also scholars, so they naturally know that the things that were not copied belong to the imperial court. If the imperial court does not agree, they will not dare to touch the food.
Li Huan cupped his hands in the direction of the capital and said: "I have been ordered by the emperor to inspect the place. I have the right to kill first and report later. I have said that all the confiscated grain will be used to relieve the victims and be used for post-disaster reconstruction. If the court then
If anyone in the hall disagrees, I will take full responsibility for it."
After hearing this, all the village elders and scholars couldn't help but kneel down to Li Huan and kowtow together.
"Your Excellency has survived countless lives. We, the people of Huayin County, will definitely be grateful for your kindness. We will build a shrine for you in the future and pray for you every day."
Li Huan quickly stepped forward and helped everyone up.
Soon, thousands of young adults among the refugees were selected, and then, led by more than a hundred guards in uniforms, they were divided into dozens of teams and rushed to each house.
In the evening, large trucks came one after another carrying bags of grain, which were confiscated from various houses.
Chen Yao held an account book, his face full of excitement, and said to Li Huan in a trembling voice: "Sir, all the proceeds from the inspection are here. A total of 780,000 taels of gold and silver, and 42,000 taels of grain.
Wanshi."
After speaking, Chen Yao hesitated and said, "All the gold and silver property has been packed and brought back. However, the grain will be stored in the granaries of those companies after being counted. Special personnel have been assigned to take care of it and can be accessed at any time."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "You have done a good job. With these grains, the refugees in Huayin County don't have to worry."
Chen Yao said with an excited look: "That is also thanks to your Lord. Otherwise, who else but Lord would dare to kill all the officials in the county. The people of Huayin County must be grateful for your kindness."
Looking at the countless refugees in the distance distributing rice porridge in an orderly manner under the arrangements of a group of village elders and scholars, hundreds of young men holding sticks patrolling among the refugees to maintain order, the eyes of countless refugees are shining with hope.
His face is full of peace and tranquility.
Taking a deep breath, Li Huan said to Du Guang beside him: "Du Guang, have you already sent someone to deliver the memorial to the court and His Majesty?"
Du Guang nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates have sent people eight hundred miles away to rush your memorial back to the capital."
A flash of light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and he said: "Instruct everyone to pack up and follow me to Xi'an Mansion."
Chen Yao was stunned and said: "Sir, let's leave. What will happen to Huayin County?"
Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I have temporarily appointed Chen Yu as the magistrate of Huayin County and Chen Daniu as the patrol inspector. With the help of a group of scholars and village elders, Huayin County cannot be in chaos. And your majesty can't help me."
If you report this, new officials will definitely be appointed."
Chen Yao scratched his head when he heard this and said: "Your Excellency is far-sighted and everything is under your arrangement, but my subordinates are overly worried."
Following Li Huan's order, hundreds of Jin Yiwei gathered at an extremely fast speed.
Chen Yu, who was appointed by Li Huan as the temporary county magistrate, inspection inspector Chen Daniu and other village elders came over almost immediately when they heard that Li Huan was leaving.
Everyone looked at Li Huan and couldn't help but said: "Sir, if you leave, what will we do?"
Li Huan stepped forward and helped the village elders up and said: "Everyone, Li was ordered to inspect the place. All the corrupt officials in Huayin County have been killed, but there are still many corrupt officials in other places who are harming the people. Li stayed here
No way."
When everyone heard this, they naturally couldn't say anything else if they wanted to retain Li Huan.
After looking at Chen Yu, Chen Daniu and others, Li Huan smiled and said: "The imperial court will send officials here soon, but if there are officials who dare to embezzle money and food again, you can send people to inform me."
Li Huan bowed his hands to the crowd, turned on his horse, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly. Immediately, the horse under him neighed, and disappeared into the night surrounded by a group of royal guards.
Behind Li Huan and the others, more than a dozen Jinyi guards and hundreds of men who were willing to serve as soldiers and feed themselves escorted the confiscated gold and silver towards Xi'an Mansion.
In the night, countless people in Huayin County who learned about Li Huan's departure knelt on the ground and kowtowed silently in the direction where Li Huan and others were leaving.
above officialdom
A dozen figures looked at the majestic ancient city in the distance, Xi'an Fucheng
Feng Qingyang, who was wearing green clothes, looked quite calm, while Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, and Cheng Buyou stood beside Feng Qingyang, also looking at the ancient city.
"Uncle Feng Master, do we really have to go into the city to look for Yue Buqun?"
Feng Buping had a somewhat worried look on his face.
They attacked and killed Yue Buqun before. It can be said that in that attack, it seemed that dozens of Jinyi guards were killed, but the Yue Buqun they really wanted to kill escaped.
Even if Feng Qingyang personally pursued and killed him, he could not spare Yue Buqun.
When it comes to the ability to save lives, Yue Buqun is really not bad. Although he was almost killed by Feng Qingyang a few times, Yue Buqun was able to escape from Feng Qingyang every time.
Even not long ago, Feng Qingyang lost Yue Buqun in pursuit, which made Feng Qingyang almost angry to death.
After listening to Feng Buping's words, Feng Qingyang frowned and said, "If he doesn't enter the city, where do you think Yue Buqun will be hiding at this time?"
Hearing what Feng Qingyang said, Feng Buping and others said with worried looks on their faces: "Uncle Feng, this is Xi'an Fucheng, and there are imperial troops stationed in the city. If Yue Buqun really escapes,
Jinyiwei Qianhu Station, then once we enter the city, we will be considered as entering Yue Buqun's territory. By then..."
Feng Qingyang laughed loudly and said: "It's just a group of officers and soldiers. I can kill hundreds of people with one sword. If I want to leave, the imperial army will definitely not be able to keep me here."
Feng Buping and the others smiled bitterly when they heard this. They absolutely believed Feng Qingyang's words. After all, with Feng Qingyang's unparalleled strength in the world, even if he was really surrounded by the imperial soldiers and horses, as long as it was not a strong crossbow, bed crossbow, etc.
The big killers were shooting like crazy, and it was not difficult for Feng Qingyang to escape.
The key is that Feng Qingyang can escape, but they are not sure that they can escape the government's siege.
After all, even if he is as strong as Feng Buping, he dare not say that he can fight against the imperial army. If he is really surrounded, it doesn't take much, maybe dozens or hundreds of army sergeants can surround him and kill him.
Feng Qingyang snorted coldly and said: "Everyone followed me into the city. They are just soldiers and horses of the imperial court. As long as you are careful, there is nothing to fear. Besides, even if there is an accident, isn't there still me? I am
One man and one sword can keep you safe."
Feng Qingyang had spoken to such an extent that Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou, and Cong Buqi looked at each other, nodded to Feng Qingyang and said, "Disciple, please follow your orders."
Feng Qingyang stroked his beard and laughed and said: "Isn't this right? Let's go to the city together so that we can find out about Yue Buqun. Otherwise, if I alone want to find Yue Buqun, how long will it take to find him?
ah."
Feng Buping and the others smiled bitterly upon hearing this, feeling that Feng Qingyang wanted them to go find Yue Buqun.
The city gate of Xi'an Prefecture is wide open, but there are many refugees gathered outside the city gate. In the large open space outside the city gate, dozens of large pots are cooking rice. Apparently the officials of Xi'an Prefecture have already
Begin to provide relief to the victims.
After all, this is the capital of Shaanxi Prefecture. Hundreds of thousands of stone relief grains from the imperial court have been put into the treasury. If the officials of Xi'an Prefecture cannot even build a porridge shed, the imperial court will definitely be held accountable.
Because Xi'an Fucheng has begun to provide relief to the victims, although the number of refugees outside the city is quite large, given the hope of survival, the refugees are still quite orderly despite the large number.
Of course, on the one hand, there is also the reason why the Xi'an government office sent officers to patrol among the refugees outside the city to maintain order.
When Feng Qingyang and others saw the refugees lining up to receive rice porridge, Feng Qingyang snorted coldly: "A group of dog officials, if they didn't want to hunt down Yue Buqun, I would definitely kill these dog officials."
, breathe a sigh of relief for the people of Shaanxi."
Feng Qingyang's voice was quite loud. Hearing this, some refugees subconsciously avoided Feng Qingyang's group for fear of getting into trouble.
At the city gate, a group of soldiers guarded the city gate to isolate the countless refugees. The wind was clear, and when Feng Buping and the others tried to enter the city, they were driven away by the soldiers guarding the gate.
These soldiers could tell at a glance that Feng Qingyang and others were not good people. After all, apart from those people in the world, there were also some ordinary people from good families who were equipped with swords.
It seemed that they did not expect that they would be blocked outside the city, and even driven away by the soldiers guarding the city. If Feng Buping hadn't grabbed Feng Qingyang, he would have forced his way into the city.
Feng Qingyang, whose face was full of anger, watched Feng Buping quietly put a piece of silver ingot into the hands of the city gate official who was guarding the city, and then the group of people were let into the city.
Feng Qingyang snorted coldly: "These dog officials really deserve to be killed."
Feng Buping hurriedly said: "Uncle Feng is right, but aren't we looking for Yue Buqun? If Uncle Feng goes on a killing spree at the gate of the city, he will definitely alert the snakes by then, and maybe he will also alert the people hiding in the city.
Yue Buqun, so I ask Uncle Feng to be patient for the time being. When we find Yue Buqun and take Yue Buqun's life, if Uncle Feng still doesn't feel relieved, then we will accompany Uncle Feng to kill those people.
Dog officer."
Hearing this, Feng Qingyang showed a slight smile on his face, nodded towards Feng Buping and said: "Okay, as expected of me, a disciple of Huashan Sword Sect, he should have such courage."
A group of more than a dozen people were all equipped with swords, which were obviously a bit dazzling. Feng Buping quickly ordered the disciples to disperse and search for news about Yue Buqun in the city.
As the Sword Sect disciples left, Feng Buping was left by Feng Qingyang's side, which was no longer so eye-catching.
At this time, the ground shook slightly, and a sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. The refugees outside the city were shocked to follow the sound, and saw a group of guards in golden uniforms coming on horseback.
The soldiers guarding the city were startled when they saw the Jin Yiwei coming on horseback, and one of the officials subconsciously stepped forward to stop them.
Then Chen Yao, who was rushing to the front, immediately scolded: "The Jin Yiwei is handling the case, and the rest of the people are still waiting to get out of the way."
Judging from the posture, if the soldiers guarding the door didn't move out of the way, the Jin Yiwei would bump into him.
The momentum of hundreds of Jinyi guards charging towards them on horseback was not something that soldiers who had never seen such a scene could withstand. Before they could get closer, the soldiers who were guarding there dispersed in a rush. Immediately, the city gate opened wide, and a group of Jinyi guardsmen could not bear it.
Whistling by.
Not long after they entered the city, Feng Qingyang had not gone very far. Feng Buping and the other two couldn't help but change their expressions slightly when they heard the huge noise coming from behind.
Feng Buping quickly pulled Feng Qingyang aside and whispered: "Uncle Feng, it seems that many cavalry are coming on horseback."
Feng Qingyang frowned and did not speak, but raised his head and looked in the direction of the city gate.
Under the watchful eyes of Feng Qingyang and Feng Buyi, they saw a torrent pouring into the city.
"Jinyiwei!"
The attire of Jin Yiwei was too obvious, so both Feng Buping and Feng Qingyang recognized their identities almost immediately when they saw Chen Yao and others.
Especially Feng Qingyang, who was standing among the crowd on the edge of the street, saw Li Huan surrounded by a group of royal guards at almost the first glance.
Li Huan left a deep impression on Feng Qingyang at the beginning. He, Feng Qingyang, had been in the world for decades and had never suffered such a big loss.
The only time he was severely injured was because he underestimated Li Huan, and was severely injured by Li Huan, and even almost lost his life because of it.
You can imagine how deep Feng Qingyang's impression of Li Huan would be, so the moment he saw Li Huan, Feng Qingyang recognized Li Huan's identity.
Almost like a conditioned reflex, Feng Qingyang clenched the sword in his hand, and a murderous intent flashed across his body. Feng Buping, who was frightened by the momentum of hundreds of Jinyi guards, suddenly felt the murderous intent in Feng Qingyang, and his face couldn't help but change.
He almost instinctively took Feng Qingyang's arm and hid in the shop behind him.
Li Huan, who was riding a horse, naturally felt something in his heart at the moment Feng Qingyang's murderous intent was revealed. While his heart was shocked, Li Huan couldn't help but look around.
Both sides of the long street were full of frightened and evasive people. Although the number was not large, it could not be said to be small. There were at least several hundred people within a few dozen feet.
Even if Li Huan was condescending, it was impossible to target Feng Qingyang among hundreds of people at once. After all, Feng Qingyang's murderous intention was just fleeting. If it weren't for Li Huan's sharp five senses and his murderous intention was still based on
If Li Huan came, he might not feel the killing intent.
Cao Yu noticed that Li Huan's brows were furrowed, as if he was looking for something, and he couldn't help but screamed: "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Huan said lightly: "It's nothing. I just felt a murderous intention against me. Unfortunately, the murderous intention disappeared before I could lock on to him."
Cao Yu couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this, and a ray of evil flashed in his eyes, saying: "I will lead someone to find the other party right now."
Li Huan looked around and glanced at everyone around him. Hearing this, he shook his head at Cao Yu and said, "I'm afraid the other party has already left. Without a target, it's not that easy to find the other party."
