Notices for the public trial of the shopkeepers of the four major families were posted at all the city gates in Shu County.
When the news came out, it instantly caused a shock in the city.
Peng Yuan, Chen Tang, Cao Xi and other local clan leaders were all very happy. When they saw Lu Tong and others making money, they had considered raising prices along with them. However, Zhang Zhao talked to them and asked them to sell grain at a lower price.
, in the end they all supported Lu Xuan.
After all, they all rely on Lu Xuan.
Thanks to Zhang Zhao's words, otherwise they would be the same as the businessmen of the four major families now.
The people in the city were even more excited.
During Lu Xuan's absence in Lujiang County, businessmen from the four major families entered Shu County and raised prices, causing the price of food in Shu County to rise. Life in Lujiang County was not easy.
The light finally came.
Lu Xuan finally wanted to bring order to the chaos.
Countless people have already gone to the South Gate. Even though it is not yet afternoon, many scholars and people have gathered outside the South Gate, all talking about Lu Xuan's public trial. The eyes of the people who are looking forward to it are twinkling.
light.
Everyone's faces showed approval for Lu Xuan.
"Prefect Lu helped the refugees, resettled the victims, and sold food to us at ordinary prices. Now, he is killing these people who are driving up prices. What a good official."
"Prefect Lu is the parent officer of our Lujiang County. With Prefect Lu here, we don't have to worry about anything."
"After Governor Lu returns to Shu County, these ghosts and snake gods will no longer be arrogant. After this time, let's see who dares to be domineering in our Lujiang County. With Governor Lu, the sky in our Lujiang County will be blue."
"Oh, it's a pity that Governor Lu has stopped recruiting troops. I really want to serve as a soldier for Governor Lu and charge into battle with Governor Lu."
Countless people discussed it.
Lu Xuan's reputation among the people has completely changed.
Although Lu Xuan had received support from the people in the past, it was not on such a large scale as this time. The people had suffered from the four major families driving up food prices, so Lu Xuan's disaster relief and stabilization of food prices were extremely precious.
The people trust Lu Xuan more and are more grateful. Many people even talk about Lu Xuan with more piety and fanaticism in their eyes.
"Here we come, Governor Lu is here."
Suddenly, some people in the crowd shouted.
After the voice came out, pairs of eyes looked over, all looking expectantly and extremely excited.
On the official road, Lu Xuan was riding a horse in front, flanked by guards led by Zhou Tai. Behind him were four prison cars, imprisoning Gu Lie, Lu Tong, Wei Shan and Yu Xiang. These four people looked desolate.
He looked like his parents had died.
They were caught and now they are going to be tried in public. It is obvious that Lu Xuan wants to kill them.
On the way here, everyone cursed Lu Xuan and threatened Lu Xuan, but to no avail.
Lu Xuan was not threatened and ignored them.
Eventually, they yelled at each other.
Lu Tong scolded Gu Lie, and Wei Shan and Yu Xiang confessed first, causing him to be unable to persist. Gu Lie, Yu Xiang and Wei Shan also scolded Lu Tong for confessing first, causing harm to the three of them. Then, the four of them shirk responsibility and blame each other.
scolding.
After scolding each other for a while, they all felt wilted, completely depleted of energy, and felt frightened and uneasy.
The closer I get to the south gate, the more worried I become.
When Lu Xuan arrived at the execution ground, Lu Xuan got off his horse and strode onto the execution ground, his eyes falling on the prison cart.
The doors of the prison vans opened.
Lu Tong was the first to get out of the prison car in front, but he was frightened. As soon as his feet fell to the ground, his feet softened and he stumbled to the ground. Immediately afterwards, he was picked up by soldiers again. Wei Shan, Yu Xiang and Gu
Lie was also carried to the execution ground.
Everyone knelt down and shook their heads.
Once upon a time, they were all arrogant. Now, they are reduced to prisoners and must be publicly dealt with.
The hearts of the four people were filled with panic. But what was more in their hearts was despair and regret.
Lu Xuan stopped looking at Lu Tong and the others, and glanced at the crowds of people present. He raised his hand and lowered his head, saying loudly: "Quiet!"
The discussion stopped abruptly.
It was quiet from inside to outside, and countless people were silent, their eyes falling on Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan said loudly: "I am here today to publicly interrogate the shopkeepers of the Lu family of Wu County, the Gu family of Wu County, the Yu family of Kuaiji County, and the Wei family of Kuaiji County. The reason is that they came to Lujiang County and wantonly drove up prices and disrupted the government's disaster relief."
"For the sake of their wealth, they are unkind and raise the price of food, which has climbed to 25 cents per catty."
"I will never allow this."
"Especially when the government unified the sales of grain, stabilized grain prices, and provided relief to the people, the shopkeepers of the four major families arranged for people to cause trouble and disturb people's hearts, with the intention of undermining the government's major policy of stabilizing grain prices."
"This is an unforgivable crime."
Lu Xuan's voice echoed around, clearly reaching the ears of countless people.
Lu Xuan waved his sleeves and said loudly: "We in Lujiang County only welcome people who help the people, and do not welcome people who are trying to make a fortune for the country. So today, all these people who have done evil will be executed to put things right.
.”
"kill!"
Lu Xuan gave the order.
The executioners, who had been prepared long ago, walked forward directly, stood still, swung the knife, raised their heads, and sprayed a sip of wine on the blade.
The sword fell, the head and body were separated, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
Lu Tong, Gu Lie, Wei Shan and Yu Xiang were killed instantly. The bodies of the four people fell. Cheers erupted from the scene. Countless people became excited. However, there were also many people who were thoughtful and looked like they were thinking.
.
There were not only common people in the crowd, but also people from big families, as well as spies planted by princes from various places.
Lu Xuan killed someone, and the people cheered one after another, one wave after another. Lu Xuan allowed the people to cheer, and after a long time he raised his hand and lowered his voice.
The execution ground fell silent once again.
Lu Xuan said again: "Today, we will kill the businessmen of the four major families and seize their supplies. Next, all the food hoarded by the four major families will be used to relieve the victims and continue to absorb the refugees."
"In addition, grain stores run by the government will continue to sell grain."
"Prices will not rise, they will only fall."
"Grains are sold now, and they will continue to be sold in the future. Even in the future, the shops will not only sell grains, but also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as meat and vegetables. This will ensure that the people of Lujiang County can buy cheap food.
Goods to ensure the safety of your jobs."
Lu Xuan's eyes were bright and his tone became more and more high-spirited, "Under my rule, Lujiang County will not abandon any people. I guarantee that everyone in Lujiang County will have food to eat, everyone will have clothes to wear, and they will not eat
The last meal is not the next meal.”
boom!!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly exploded.
The people cheered.
The government sells grain at very cheap and fair prices that the people can afford. If the government continues to operate, it must also sell grain, oil and meat in a unified manner, so that the people can buy cheap goods without worrying about being jacked up.
"Prefect Lu will live forever!"
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.
"Prefect Lu will live forever!"
"Prefect Lu will live forever!"
More and more people chanted, more and more people shouted, the voices were hysterical and echoed endlessly. A pair of simple eyes were full of excitement and fanaticism, and they wanted to die for Lu Xuan.
Some people living in Shu County changed their colors slightly when they saw this scene. These people did not stay any longer and left in a hurry to deliver the news.
