This slap was very loud and it also stunned Meng Sidao. He didn't understand why Zhizhou would do this in front of so many people and the people under his own rule. Don't they have no respect for themselves? Officials
No need for decency? Where is the decency? How will he manage this place in the future?
Of course Meng Sidao didn't know that from the moment Tang Ao saw him, from the moment he bowed his head to please Helian Lei, he was no longer an official, but a prisoner under the rank, and even lost his life.
Guaranteed, what else do you need to do to save face under such circumstances?
With one slap, Meng Sidao was stunned, and the surrounding people who were watching the excitement were also stunned. In a feudal society with clear hierarchies, the status of officials is very high, and the people are cautious when seeing them. Even if there is something wrong between officials
When it comes to dirty things, I just deal with them myself behind closed doors. How could I be like this when I was taught a lesson in public?
Tang Ao, on the other hand, was not affected at all. He did not even look at the beaten Meng Sidao. His eyes just fell on Helian Lei, "What? You just kept saying that you wanted to send troops to teach Jizhou on behalf of Beidi. This is your
Do you mean it yourself or your Beidi King Yiquxiao?"
Helian Lei also did not look at the beaten Meng Sidao. In his eyes, a small Jizhoufang would not be taken seriously in his eyes. Only people like Tang Ao, standing in front of him, brought him
He is under great pressure, and only such a strong person will let him face it. "Who are you? Why are you questioning me?"
He was already a little scared in his heart, but Helian Lei spoke as hard as a dead duck.
"Hmph! Even if you want to know so much, then I will tell you that I am Tang Ao."
"Wow!"
As soon as the voice fell, the scene was extremely quiet, as if you could hear a needle drop. Then, maybe one breath, or two breaths, plop, one after another, the surrounding people fell to their knees.
But His Highness Prince Ji, their current happy and stable life is entirely due to this person. In the eyes of the people of Jizhou, Tang Ao is like a god. How can they not kneel down to pay tribute when they meet him?
Not to mention ordinary people, even officials such as Zeng Tong and Qin Guben knelt on the ground. Ordinarily they did not need to perform such a grand ceremony, but a civil official made a mistake just now, which made them feel a little bit.
Feeling weak, he simply fell to his knees on the ground.
The only ones who did not kneel were the five women and a group of Han generals who followed. Tang Ao once said that men kneel to the sky and kneel to their parents. They always kneel when they see people. When their knees become weak, their blood will disappear.
Of course, Helian Lei was not kneeling. At this moment, he stood on the spot like a lightning strike. He could not have imagined that he would just come out to find trouble and show off his power, but he would just run into Prince Ji.
What? Could it be that you didn’t read the almanac when you went out?
"Kneel down." Seeing that Helian Lei refused to kneel when the king saw him, Shi Lei became angry. After shouting angrily, he rushed over with several big Han generals and pushed Helian Lei, Tuo Huo and other guards to the ground.
.
If it had been before, they would have resisted. After all, they also represented the people of Beidi here. But now, knowing that Tang Ao was standing here, they did not dare to do anything anyway.
Most of them were conquered by those who conquered them, so a few of them meant nothing.
Helianlei knelt down on the ground obediently, but Tang Ao's questioning voice did not stop. "Tell me, what you said is what your Beidi King meant?"
"No... I'm just talking nonsense, saying... just for fun." Helian Lei quickly denied it. There are some things that must never be admitted. Otherwise, the entire Helian family may not be able to be saved.
he.
"Are you joking? Haha, it seems that you have never respected us Jizhou people and treat everything here as a joke. It seems that you need to make a deep impression." Tang Ao sneered.
"No! Please spare your life, His Highness Prince Ji. Spare your life." Helian Lei was really scared. In the entire Jizhou, he could use his identity to show off his authority when facing anyone, but only when facing Tang Ao.
At that time, he did not have such qualifications. Or maybe not only him, but also their Wang Yiquxiao did not have enough qualifications.
"Here comes someone to search him." Tang Ao ignored Helian Lei's cry for help and said firmly.
Shi Lei agreed and then started to take off He Lian Lei's clothes. Poor young master who also had a great reputation in Beidi, but he didn't even dare to resist, as if he was afraid that if he angered Tang Ao, he would be killed.
The disaster is common.
Shi Lei moved quickly, and in the process of stripping off his clothes, a small pendant with a tiger head fell off Helian Lei's body. Sun Lizi, who was so shocked that she just dared to look up, shouted, "Look, this is what I sell at home."
The little pendant is indeed on his body."
At this point, the crime of pickpocketing is confirmed.
The people around him couldn't help but talk and criticize each other. A dignified nobleman from Beidi actually stole things on the street. At this moment, he was really humiliated.
Helian Lei's face turned red with embarrassment. Everyone has a sense of shame, and he was no exception. At this time, he just wished there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.
"Zeng Zhizhou, come here." Tang Ao looked at this scene without any exceptions. He would not believe that his own people would dare to go out on the street to accuse a Beidi nobleman out of thin air. There can only be one answer. What the people said
It's all true.
In the past, Tang Ao called Zeng Tong as Mr. Zeng, but now he calls him by his official name, which shows that he is a little angry. Zeng Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up, ran a few steps and stood in front of Tang Ao.
"I would like to ask you, what is the sentence for the crime of theft, extortion, offending Princess Ji, and the crime of spreading rumors to affect the unity of the two tribes?"
Tang Ao's voice was a little cold, which made Zeng Tong nervous. He instinctively replied, "Return to your highness, and I will be punished for all crimes and be beheaded!"
"Okay! Shi Lei, here comes the sword!" Tang Ao shouted boldly upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Shi Lei immediately handed over his own knife. Tang Ao, who took the knife, laughed and slashed at Helian Lei's body.
"Ah! Spare my life!"
"Ah, no!"
"ah!"
The first sound came from Helian Lei's mouth.
The second sound came from Zeng Tong's mouth.
The third shout is the voice of the people.
In full view of the public, on the street, with the people watching, Tang Ao raised his knife and struck it down, and then Helian Lei's head rolled down, like a rubber ball rolling down on the ground.
One circle.
The blood on his neck suddenly emerged and fell on Tang Ao's Qingyi, dyeing it red. However, at this moment, no one felt fear or terror. On the contrary, some of them just felt happy in their hearts, and some only had blood boiling all over their bodies.
"Kill anyone who insults my people!" Tang Ao threw the big knife in his hand towards Shi Lei, and said with his hands behind his back: "You are my king's people, and this king is also based on you. You are my king."
Relatives of the king, anyone who insults you is an insult to the king, and anyone who hurts you is an injury to the king. Now if someone hurts you or insults you, I will kill him, even if he is a noble from Beidi, even if he is
The king of Beidi, Yiquxiao, met the same fate. Jizhou is the Jizhou of this king and the Jizhou of the people. Anyone who wants to run wild here will only be killed!"
What Tang Ao said was extremely firm, and it seemed to be a matter of course. When it fell in the ears of the people, it was like the sound of bells and drums in the ears, making the people's blood flow faster.
There are even some bloody people whose eyes are already red. At this moment, if Tang Ao gives an order, they will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they will not hesitate at all.
Tang Ao felt the emotional changes of the people, and he was happy. This was a good opportunity to educate everyone. In the past, it was always said that the people of Jizhou were rich and powerful, could make their own decisions, and had dignity. But that was just talk.
, I am afraid that only the veterans who have been on the battlefield have truly experienced it. Now that he has the opportunity to change the thoughts and opinions of the people, he will not miss it. "Meng Sidao, as the chief official of Bianyifang, does not want to rule for his subordinates.
The people make the decision, but they collude with the bad guys, which brings shame to Jizhou. This crime cannot be pardoned and should be executed!"
When the word "cut" came out, Meng Sidao, who had been so high-spirited in front of the people just now, immediately went limp and fell to the ground with a plop. At this moment, he was really frightened and fainted.
Meng Sidao was unlucky enough to meet Tang Ao. But there are also people who are lucky, such as Sun Ke. Tang Ao strode up to him and asked, "Sun Ke, have you ever read a book?"
"Your Majesty, I have been studying in a private school for two years." Sun Ke replied with excitement on his face.
"Very good. Even if you can read, are you willing to patrol and supervise Jizhou officials?"
"Why is the inspection? I don't know." Sun Ke was very excited. He was about to do something for King Ji, but based on the principle of caution, he still wanted to ask clearly.
"Inspection means walking around, looking for illegal things among the people, observing the unyielding things of the people, and redressing their grievances. It also has the responsibility of supervising the officials. Whenever you find that something is unfair, you can raise it.
Report problems to higher-level officials. Of course, inspections do not have the power to enforce the law. They just speak for the people. But once the problems you report cannot be solved satisfactorily, you can report them to the higher level. If you are dissatisfied, you can report it to the county government.
Go to the county government. If the county government's answer still doesn't satisfy you, you can report it to the magistrate government. If it still doesn't work, you can report it to the king, who will give you a fair answer..."
After some explanations, not only Sun Ke understood it, but also the people around him heard it clearly. Many people showed their thoughts at the moment. This is a supervising official. Isn't it more powerful than an official?
It's exciting just thinking about it.
"I understand, this villain is willing to do it." Sun Ke knew that this was an opportunity in his life and he was not willing to let it go, so he hurriedly agreed.
