But it was precisely because he figured out Li Huan's identity that Liu De truly felt despair in his heart.
Who is Li Huan? Even if they have never met Li Huan, they have heard many rumors about Li Huan.
Among so many rumors about Li Huan, Li Huan never showed mercy to officials like them.
The most important thing is that Liu De is more aware that if the crime they committed this time is taken to be serious, it can definitely be said to be deceiving the emperor and ignoring the superior. Such a crime is to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.
Of course, another point is that after Liu De learned Li Huan's identity, he realized that the reason why Li Huan hid his identity and patrolled incognito was because he wanted to find some officials to establish his authority during the inspection.
Reforms have never been easy. Even Liu De knew that it was absolutely impossible to reform the taxation law and implement it without killing people and causing rivers of blood.
But Liu De never thought that one day he would become the chicken that Li Huan used to scare the officials all over the world and kill chickens to scare monkeys.
With a pop, Liu De fell to the ground, his face pale, his eyes filled with despair, and he murmured: "It's over, the Liu family is over!"
Officials such as Zhang Ke, Huang Wei and others on the side had obviously heard Liu De's words. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at Lin Ping and his party.
Lin Pingzhi glanced at Liu De, and had to say that Liu De was a smart man. Lin Pingzhi looked at Liu De who was so weak that he said lightly: "You are a smart man, but it's a pity that you are a smart man.
, why do you just do stupid things!"
While speaking, Lin Pingzhi waved his big hand and said: "Take down everyone."
Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like Jin Yiwei, these people had no room for resistance other than wailing and begging for mercy.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen officials, big and small, were all locked up and taken away.
On the long street, because the Jin Yiwei had blocked the Qingyang Tower, no one within a radius of tens of feet with the Qingyang Tower as the center dared to take a step closer.
Even if he wanted to watch the fun, he wouldn't have the courage to come together at this time. If he angered these Jinyi guards and took his own life, it would be too unworthy.
But this does not mean that these alarmed people are not curious.
After all, in a place like Yutian County, I have never seen so many Jin Yiwei taking people away, so many people were hiding in the dark and secretly watching Qingyang Tower.
One after another, eyes were fixed on Qingyang Tower and the Jin Yiwei in front of Qingyang Tower.
Suddenly, a group of people was seen walking out of the Qingyang Building, and figures who were being held in chains came into everyone's eyes.
When they saw the officials of Yutian County, led by County Magistrate Zhang Ke, being pushed and escorted out by the Jin Yiwei, many people who recognized the identities of Zhang Ke and others changed their expressions.
"Oh my god, that...that's the county magistrate!"
There were also people who murmured softly with a bit of surprise and joy: "God opens your eyes, these dog officials are finally going to get their comeuppance!"
After getting on his horse, Lin Pingzhi looked at Zhang Ke and others who were tied up in a bunch. He suddenly pinched the horse's belly and said, "Let's go!"
A few days later, a team of police officers appeared in front of Huangjia Village in Yutian County.
Huangjia Village is the largest village in Yutian County. The entire village has hundreds of households and as many as three to four thousand people. It can be said that all these people come from the same clan, the Huang family.
The Huang family, which has been rooted in Yutian County for hundreds of years, is definitely one of the few local clan families in Yutian County.
As the county lieutenant of Yutian County, Huang Wei was able to firmly hold the position of county lieutenant of Yutian County precisely because of the support of the Huang clan.
It can be said that Huang Wei is both a local official and a powerful family in Yutian County. Over the years, through various means, Huangjia Village has occupied tens of thousands of acres of land, most of which
All under the name of Huang Wei.
Normally speaking, the annual taxes on these tens of thousands of acres of land should be paid in full. It is a pity that Huang Wei, a county captain who can stomp his feet in Yutian County, exists in Huangjia Village, let alone that it should be paid.
After paying the tax, even the corvee that was supposed to be produced by Huangjiacun did not fall into Huangjiacun at all.
Huangjiacun is an absolutely perfect interpretation of what it means when one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and the power of the whole clan can be used to support one person, and if that person achieves anything, he will feed back the entire clan.
Examples like Huangjiacun and Huang Wei can be seen everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
Whenever a clan member gave birth to a juren, the entire clan would transfer the land under their name to avoid tax collection from the court.
On this day, the peace and tranquility of Huangjiacun, which had been peaceful for many years, was broken. A group of guards and officers from Yutian County appeared at the entrance of Huangjiacun.
Naturally, it was impossible to hide such a big movement from the villagers of Huangjia Village. Therefore, the villagers of Huangjia Village, who had received the news early, under the leadership of the patriarch Huang Quan, carried sticks, iron forks and other dangerous weapons and blocked the guards without fear.
.
As the patriarch of Huangjia Village and the brother of Huang Wei, Huang Quan is a tyrannical existence that not many people dare to provoke even in Yutian County.
At this moment, Huang Quan was facing a group of police officers, but his momentum was not at all inferior. He even pointed at the leading police officer and yelled: "Chen Wu, you bastard, why don't you come forward when I see your Grandpa Huang?"
Kowtow in honor!"
After recognizing Chen Wu, Huang Quan said he was curious about what Chen Wu wanted to do by bringing so many servants to block the entrance of their Huangjia Village. However, Huang Quan was not polite to Chen Wu at all and had a bossy attitude.
Normally, an ordinary citizen would be like a sheep seeing a tiger when facing a servant who represents an official family, but Huang Quan was not afraid at all, and he did not even take Chen Wu to heart at all in his words.
Not far away, Li Huanzheng stood with his hands behind his hands. He looked at this scene from a distance, and said with a faint smile on his lips: "It is indeed the most powerful family in Yutian County. Even the court does not pay attention to it."
Several Yutian County officials who had narrowly escaped being purged by the Jinyiwei were following Li Huan. After hearing Li Huan's words, they couldn't help but feel cold on their faces.
The clan felt some sympathy.
Of course, if we really want to sympathize, to be honest, these officials are really not that great. The Huang family's notoriety and the evil deeds they have done in Yutian County cannot be described in detail, nor can they be summarized in ten or eight cases.
Perhaps there must be many honest people among the thousands of people in the Huang family, but there are also many people who can definitely be regarded as evildoers, and there are so many such people that even the huge Yutian County knows that it would rather provoke villains than do anything.
Provoke Huang's people.
As far as they know, there are dozens of people whose families have been ruined because they offended the Huang clan over the years.
Not to mention that the Huang family occupied tens of thousands of acres of fertile land through clever plunder. It is conceivable that behind these tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, there is no telling how many innocent people’s blood and tears are hidden.
It was precisely because he knew about the existence of the Huang clan that stood out from the crowd in Yutian County, and because Li Huan wanted to personally keep an eye on the implementation of Yutian County's tenant farming, so he chose the Huang clan as the starting point and personally led people there.
Come and take a walk.
Because of this, Li Huan also truly saw the strength and tyranny of these powerful locals.
Now that Yutian County has gone through some scrutiny by Li Huan's Jin Yiwei, the officials with really bad records have already been sent to prison. Although Chen Wu and other officers have some bad deeds, they can still behave reasonably in daily life.
Bottom line.
Seeing that their former colleagues were sent to jail one by one for their unscrupulous and bottomless harm to the people, Chen Wu and others now obeyed Li Huan's orders. It can be said that they would never dare to do anything Li Huan asked them to do.
There was not even the slightest hesitation.
Facing Huang Quan who was roaring at him, Chen Wu couldn't help but reveal a somewhat disdainful sneer.
If Huang Wei, the captain of Yutian County, was still there in the past, then facing Huang Quan, he must have been as humble as possible.
Huang Quan asked him to kneel down and worship him. Unless he didn't want to live in Yutian County, no matter what he thought in his heart, he would definitely kneel down and worship him honestly.
But now the Huang family's biggest supporter, Huang Wei, has been thrown into prison by champion Hou Li Huan.
Then the Huang family would have no one to rely on from now on, so looking at the arrogant Huang Quan in front of him, Chen Wu couldn't help but raised his hand and slapped Huang Quan on the face.
Huang Quan had met Chen Wu, but for Chen Wu, he didn't take it to heart at all. He was just a policeman. As long as his brother said a word, it would be easier to kill the opponent than to kill a chicken.
How many.
Huang Wei, the county captain, was there, so he had nothing to worry about, so Huang Quan stared at Chen Wu with a smile.
I thought that Chen Wu would definitely be polite when facing him, and even if he didn't kneel down in front of him, he would definitely give him some trouble. However, the next moment, there was only a snap, and then there was a burning sensation on his face.
of severe pain.
Chen Wu's slap could be said to be quite powerful. It actually made Huang Quan spin in a circle, and half of his face became red and swollen at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
This slap not only stunned Huang Quan, but all the Huang clan members who were following Huang Quan were also stunned by this scene. They all opened their eyes wide and looked in disbelief.
Chen Wu slapped the patriarch of his family, and then looked at the patriarch Huang Quan who was covering his face, so that everyone stayed there in a daze.
"Ah, patriarch..."
Suddenly, someone let out a heart-wrenching cry, rushed to Huang Quan's side, and supported Huang Quan.
