Chapter 306 Turning Right and Wrong into Black and White
The people in the entire forest were completely shocked by Hua Xi's feat. As more and more people noticed the army approaching in the distance and exclaimed and screamed, more and more people turned their eyes and attention to it.
In their memory, except for the army that returned from Jinling, which was often seen decades ago, they have hardly seen it in recent decades.
At this time, a man holding a big wooden stick and followed by a group of thirty or forty people, whose temperament and appearance were similar to those of gangsters, came up from the woods and shouted: "Hey, which Sima is in front of you?"
Hua Xi felt a little happy when he saw it, and thought to himself: This man is really courageous, he actually led someone with weapons to block the advance of the army.
Hua Xi's thoughts were very common in the minds of other generals and even Bai Zhan. Immediately, one of the generals said angrily: "Who are you, dare to openly block Hua Sima's army?"
Maybe this person was just rude and did it unintentionally; or maybe his head was squeezed by the door. Anyway, his actions immediately woke up the shocked people in the forest. Everyone rushed up and mouthed loudly.
Shouting to snap up the trophies brought back by the army, they were so excited that they waved their weapons
This moment is incredible. If this group of people takes advantage of the situation to snatch their trophies, it will not be a joke. There are at least five or six hundred people here. Even if they really really want to buy, the chaos will inevitably lead to looting, and the consequences will be disastrous.
tidy
Bai Zhan's brows gradually furrowed at this time. He was not afraid of these people, but he was afraid that if there was looting, it would cause a chain reaction, and the generals in the army might also instruct their own people to participate.
A merchant (who was serving as a general at this time) who usually traveled around Changyang saw that the situation was not good. He hurriedly ran to Hua Xi and pointed at the person running at the front and shouted: "Sir, that is a gangster in the city, with some tribesmen.
They collude with each other to rob passing merchants on some dangerous mountain roads and woods."
"Sir, the situation is urgent. If they come close, they may cause chaos and cause serious losses!" Another general said.
Hua Xi didn't even blink and said indifferently: "Kill!"
In an instant, dozens of people were lying on the ground in the direction of the army's advance. The surging crowd behind them was instantly stopped. They looked at this murderous army in horror, not knowing why they were attacking the people.
The person who was yelling to buy or rob suddenly felt as if an invisible and powerful hand had strangled his neck. He stared at the dozens of people in front of him who were still moaning and struggling in horror.
"People, if you want to buy hunting bows, spears, arrowheads, food, furs and other supplies, go to the "Zhonghua Market" and "Guests Like Clouds" in Chengnan Market to buy them. If any of you dare to eat the ambitious leopard,
If you have any ideas about us, just come over here!" Hua Xile rode up and shouted.
The population of the Changyang tribe has expanded recently, and the number of fights and fights has naturally increased. With a prosperous economy and increased productivity, some lawless elements and underworld forces will naturally breed and grow.
In this era, punishment and law were just born. There were no police officers in the yamen to maintain public order. The main thing to maintain law and order was to guard each other and to separate soldiers and peasants. The soldiers wanted to kill people, but they were blatantly outside Changyang City under the rule of the chief.
Killed dozens of people, but very few
Although the ability to detect cases in this era is very weak, once the criminal punishment is implemented, it is very severe. Unlike today, although the law is widely public, it is still unclear whether it is effective.
Regarding the regulations of the Yandi tribe, Hua Xi generally remembers the severity of the regulations. Hua Xi naturally knows it, but he still orders the killing, so he has something to rely on.
"keep going!"
Hua Xi shouted loudly
The general who had just warned me came over again, pointed at the dozens of corpses that were gradually stiffening on the ground, and asked, "Sir, what should I do with these corpses?"
"Bah, they are just a group of unruly people. If they dare to commit crimes, even if they expose their bodies for three days, it is not an exaggeration!" Another person said angrily.
"Sir, you don't know that although these are unscrupulous people, the people behind them have to be guarded against!" the businessman's general said worriedly.
"Oh? Behind them..." After hearing this, Hua Xi thought to herself: Did I stoke a hornet's nest? It's not such a coincidence!
"They are all subordinates of a bully in the city whose nickname is Sheng Fan. This Sheng Fan has connections with nobles from many tribes. I'm afraid if I don't tell him, it will cause unnecessary trouble!"
"Unnecessary trouble?" Hua Xi said coldly
"Yes" the general said
"In that case, after I enter the city, I will look for this person named Sheng Fan!" Hua Xi said indifferently.
"It's the best, sir..." The businessman was about to compliment him when he heard Hua Xi shouting to Bai Zhan not far away: "Bai Zhan, after entering the city, you immediately find the man named Sheng Fan.
I want him to explain why his men are so bold and openly attack our army. It is simply unreasonable. This is simply an unscrupulous provocation, not only to me, Hua Xi, but also to the Great Sima and the Great Chief!
"
"Here!" Bai Zhan responded
"Ah, sir, what are you..." Hua Xi's words were like a stone, and everyone who heard them was shocked.
The bully nicknamed Sheng Fan does have some power in Changyang. It is most appropriate to describe him as the leader of the underworld in the clan commune era. He has two to three hundred gangsters under his command all year round.
Doing things like cock-crowing, dog-robbery, killing and looting
He was born into a family of declining nobles. He had been fiercely competitive since he was a child. When he grew up, he got to know many minor nobles and had a wide network of connections. As a result, the soldiers and some military attachés responsible for the security of the city used him as a weapon.
There is no way that powerful officials don't bother to lower their bodies to do this, but Sheng Fan lives a very nourishing life in this vacuum.
In a word: Many tribal chiefs do not have a smooth life like him. He does not need to worry about the harvest and livelihood of the tribe. Anyway, the money that can be robbed has greatly increased the population of Changyang, and the appetite and strength of Shengfan will be even greater.
"Ah, did you hear that just now? Master Sima actually said that this kid attacked us?"
"Yes, he probably wants to come here to buy trophies?"
"Damn it, is there something wrong with your eyes? I can see clearly that the people in charge are all holding weapons to attack and rob us of our things!"
"It's your eyes that have problems. There are thousands of us here, not including the prisoners. Do dozens of them dare to rob us?"
"Grandma, your brain is really..."
Although there are many people who are doubtful, there are even more people who are quick-thinking. This is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and the evildoers should complain first.
