As if there was a big war, as soon as night fell, 20,000 Hanzhong soldiers were dispatched and poured into various counties and cities to start arresting the direct lineage members of the Yang family who had already been identified. The Yang family lineage was so large that the soldiers in each county and city
The torches stayed up all night, and the people stayed up all night. They lay in the windows and watched the soldiers rushing through the streets, as well as the Yang clan members who were dressed in strings. Although they had a clear conscience, they were also afraid of the sudden influx of those tiger and wolf soldiers.
Enter your own house.
It was not until noon the next day that the arrest operation was completed. More than 4,000 Yang clan members were captured in the southern suburbs of Nanzheng. They were kneeling in rows on top of the thick snow. The leaders of the Yang clan were arrested.
Please come and watch the ceremony.
With the precedent of Jiangzhou, these Yang family members already knew what they were going to face. The fear in their hearts merged with the coldness of their bodies. Many people's lips were still trembling, but their bodies had lost consciousness.
Liu Zhang walked slowly up the stone platform, and Yan Pu stepped forward and loudly preached: "The Yang family was disobedient and rebellious. In the past, Yang Song killed Zhang Xiu, the former Tianshi Dao, and kidnapped Tianshi Zhang Lu to seize Hanzhong. Mu Shounian
He had the merit of surrendering in Yangsong and did not want to implicate the young and old. However, the Yang family did not want to restrain themselves and harbored resentment. They ambush the assassins and seek state pastoral care. They implicated the cronies. Their intentions were evil and the laws of nature could not tolerate them. They punished the family members with death.
"
"Sir, please spare my life."
"Sir, please spare my life, I didn't know anything about it."
Those young men who were almost freezing, shouted with all their strength, but Liu Zhang didn't hear them at all. At this time, Mr. Yang shouted loudly: "Master Zhou Mu, you said that our Yang family set up an ambush for assassins, what proof do you have?"
A smile appeared on Liu Zhang's lips, and he walked down the steps slowly, his eyes scanning the rows of kneeling Yang clan members. When he saw Yang Cong, Yang Cong's muscles all tensed together, imagining in his mind what if Liu Zhang wanted to
Ask yourself what kind of torture will be inflicted and whether you can withstand it, so that your whole body will become cold and you will have difficulty breathing.
Just looking at Liu Zhang made Yang Cong feel that it was the most unbearable torture in the world. At this moment, he completely regretted his impulsive action. He couldn't even imagine why he was stupid enough to provoke Liu Zhang, a butcher.
Liu Zhang's eyes did not stay on Yang Cong. He walked slowly to the leaders of the Yang clan who were watching, and said loudly to these numb old men: "Dear gentlemen, Mr. Yang planned to murder me and gathered cronies with evil intentions.
, after you learned about it, you came together to report to the county government early yesterday morning. Mr. Yang wants evidence. Does anyone want to change their confession now? Come forward, I welcome you."
Liu Zhang had a faint smile on his face, but every word he spoke seemed to be filled with chills. The leaders of the Yang clan who were sitting were just watching all this numbly. After hearing Liu Zhang's words, they all looked at Liu Zhang in shock.
Little do they know that as long as someone says "no" at this time, everyone will immediately fall to the ground.
This was the second torture in their hearts. The first time they wrote a letter of guarantee, every word was proof of fratricide. Every word used up all their strength. They thought it was all over, but Liu Zhang didn't expect it.
They were asked to act as witnesses to kill them in front of thousands of Yang tribesmen who were about to be executed. What was the difference between this and them directly stabbing their knives into those people's bodies?
"Mr. Yang, do you know that Mr. Yang planned to assassinate me and had evil intentions?"
"I, I..." Mr. Yang was trembling, his tongue was tied, and he could hardly utter a word. Wei Yan behind Liu Zhang immediately pulled out a quarter of the sword, and the cold light reflected in Mr. Yang's eyes.
The third master said quickly: "Yes, I saw it. Mr. Yang personally told me that Mr. Yang conspired to assassinate the governor. He is a crime that cannot be punished. He cannot be punished..."
Mr. Yang yelled in a panic. Who didn't understand at this time that Liu Zhang had never planned to find evidence. Mr. Yang's face turned completely gloomy. Only then did he realize what little cleverness and little reliance he had.
, that set of tricks that the aristocratic family was trying to play was so insignificant in front of Liu Zhang.
"What about you?" Liu Zhang said coldly to the other Yang leaders.
"A direct descendant of the Yang family plotted to assassinate the governor of the state. His intentions were evil and the crime cannot be punished."
The clan leaders echoed that at this time, they had no choice unless they were willing to risk being killed.
Liu Zhang smiled and waved, and a soldier walked up to Mr. Yang carrying a plate of tall bamboo slips and said: "Old man, have you seen it? These are the poems written by important figures from your same clan, the Yang family.
Do you want to read your testimony before beheading?"
Mr. Yang collapsed to the ground. To this day, he still believes that the assassination planned by him led to the destruction of the entire clan. Compared with life and death, the century-old clan was ruined because of his stupid behavior, which made him even more heartbroken and desperate.
Liu Zhang raised his hand and lifted the bamboo slip plate, and dozens of bamboo slips rolled in front of Mr. Yang.
"Execution."
Following Liu Zhang's cold shout, five hundred soldiers dragged two hundred Yang tribesmen under the sword. Following Zhang Ren's gesture, the heads rolled down and blood sank into the white snow.
Liu Zhang walked up to the leaders of the Yang clan and said casually: "From today on, you have to remember that you like to do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, bully your boss with power, and always speak plausibly. No one can catch you.
I can't say enough about you either.
But I tell you, here, if I think you have done it, then you have done it. If anyone is lucky enough to think that as long as you cover up the crime and talk about the officials in power, everything will be fine.
If you continue to act recklessly, you can give it a try."
Liu Zhang looked at the old men with their heads lowered, smiled faintly, and said in a deep voice: "You must raise your heads and watch these thieves subdue themselves until the last head is cut off, otherwise, I will think that you sympathize with the traitors."
, I believe you should know the consequences of sympathizing with the rebellious party."
The leaders had to look up, but except for the white snow, everything was red.
"Everyone, please do your own thing."
Liu Zhang said nothing and walked slowly outside the execution ground with his entourage. Behind him, the clicking sounds of hundreds of swords being chopped down at the same time merged with the screams and cries, intertwined in the snow and fog.
The king was so angry that he lay down his body thousands of miles away.
"Going back home?" Wang Xu asked Liu Zhang.
"No, go to the barbarian camp."
Shangyong, Shen Dan took the letter of persuasion to surrender and read it twice, and slapped it on the table: "This is unreasonable, Liu Zhang has gone too far. I have agreed to the surrender of the whole county and paid five hundred thousand dan in food every year. This is already our
As far as I can go, I also promised to open up the garrison, but Liu Zhang was not satisfied and even threatened to massacre the city. Do we have to force Shangyong to fight to the death with him?"
The younger brother Shen Yi picked up the envelope and glanced at it, frowning and said: "For the sake of the family, it is not a big deal to let my two brothers go to serve in Chengdu. The Shangyong garrison will switch defenses with Brazil, and all the leaders of the Shen family will move to Chengdu. It can also be forced
Accept that as long as our family is here, all of this can be exchanged.
But Liu Zhang not only issued a land order to us, but also asked our Shen family to sell the land they annexed within five years to the government and turn it into official land. In this way, wouldn't it dig up the foundation of our Shen family and greatly shrink the land? If the land order is implemented,
We will never be able to restore our family's glory today, and it is too far-fetched to ask our Shen family to bear the burden of building a hundred Chengdu workshops and invest most of our money in business."
Shen Dan punched the table: "Liu Zhang is not trying to persuade us to surrender. He is forcing us to rebel."
