Chapter 109: Rectifying Bingzhou ([-])
"Now that the evidence is solid, let's get started."
After the Bingzhou gentry took over the granary, they resold the grain. The evidence of the transaction had already been grasped by Sun Qian. The breadth of the implication was jaw-dropping. It not only implicated the powerful gentry, such as the Wang family in Qixian County, the Wen family, and the Sun family in Zhongdu, but also the King of Jinyang. The Yangqu family and the Guo family were also included, as well as people working in other departments.
What makes Liu Han most distressed is that among the 23 poor people he single-handedly brought out, [-] of them were involved in the case. How long has it been? In the final analysis, it was because these people had power but failed to resist the temptation. They fell step by step into the trap of powerful nobles and corrupted them. In the end, they worked together and acted hand-in-hand. They ignored the interests of the country and instead enriched the country and enriched their own pockets.
"Lord, would you like to think about it again? After all, there are people involved in the case."
Jushou hesitated because there were too many people involved in the case. From top to bottom, there were 1000 people directly involved. If the nobles used their strength to fight back, it would be no less than a big war.
"Do we have the right to do this?"
"Yes, but."
"There is no but, since we are the teachers of justice, what should we fear?"
Seeing that his lord was determined to teach the nobles a lesson this time, Jushou stopped admonishing and said, "Here."
After everyone left, Liu Han murmured in his mouth: "Reverse? It's better to rebel. Don't the nobles like to talk about justice the most? Don't they like to stand on the side of justice? I want to see if they dare, If you do the opposite, your ancestral graves will be digged up for you."
Then he looked to the south, "Gentlemen, powerful men, relatives, eunuchs, the world is as black as crows, no one can say anything about them, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, that's all."
# In August, just before the harvest and when new and old grains were handed over, a shocking case occurred in Bingzhou.
The granary was stolen and rats were causing trouble.
Liu Han, the governor of Bingzhou, ordered a strict investigation of the case.
Before the Bingzhou nobles had time to react, Sun Qian had already submitted all the private transactions made by the nobles to the governor.
"Reselling salt and iron, emptying granaries, embezzling fields, killing people, trafficking in people, forcing good people into prostitution, collusion between officials and businessmen, and collusion."
Every piece of evidence here is evidence obtained by Wang Yue, Shi A and the members of the Shadow Kill team who secretly investigated for a year. All of them were presented to Liu Han at once. Even Liu Han himself was secretly investigated by the gentry. I was shocked by the activities there, these people had such a good time!
"Using all the bamboos in the Southern Mountains, and all the water in the Eastern Sea with inkstones, I can't describe these heinous crimes! Let their crimes be made public to the world, and anyone who dares to intercede for them will be punished as a traitor to the party!"
For a time, what happened in Bingzhou caused an uproar in the world due to the improvement of Liu Han's intelligence network! This matter was too big to be concealed. Emperor Liu Hong, who was in Luoyang, also heard about it on the third day. He was furious on the spot. It turned out that the big man under his rule was already like this. It turned out that the emperor's order could not be issued at all. Luoyang, outside is controlled by these powerful nobles, and they are all greedy and greedy! The emperor was also angry, and directly sent an order to Liu Han, "I have learned everything about the merger of the states, and I have given you the power to act expediently. Investigate it strictly!"
The meaning is very clear, blood is needed, and it cannot be appeased by a human head.
The Luoyang nobles wanted to remonstrate with His Majesty, but the people were furious. If they remonstrated at this time, it would be tantamount to putting themselves on the opposite side of the world, and the reputation accumulated by the family for several generations would be completely ruined.
"The King of Hejian is really ruthless!" The reason why the nobles are superior to others is because they control the means of social production; it is because they are an example of noble morality for the people in the world; it is because their good reputation accumulated over generations can make them Confusing right and wrong, always standing on the side of so-called "justice".
Liu Han, on the other hand, used the nobles' strongest weapons to attack the nobles. Destruction was always easier than creation. The reputation that the Bingzhou nobles had built up over several generations was directly destroyed by some moths in the clan.
Now, it's too late to say anything.
If other people are okay with talking and have some room for change, this guy won't. He will just come to you with a knife. You can reason with him, but he may not listen. Whether he can survive or not depends entirely on you. How much blood will his knife absorb?
"Hurry up and order your tribe to sever ties with those guys in Bingzhou, so as not to implicate us! God knows how many people Butcher Liu will kill this time."
"This man is still as vindictive as ever." The speaker was none other than Yuan Pang, the Yuan clan of Chen County. He had dealt with Liu Han a lot, so he knew how insidious and vicious this man was. "I'm just saying, the nobles scolded him." There has been no counterattack for more than a month. It turns out that we were waiting for today to prepare a fatal blow."
Now, everyone knows that this matter cannot be investigated so clearly in two or three days. They must have been prepared in advance, but it is useless to say that. The person who committed the crime died because of the word "greed". The evidence is conclusive and has become ironclad. case! At this moment, Liu Han had a fierce look on his face, "I am determined to cut their corpses into thousands of pieces, smash their bodies into pieces, and use the anger of the common people to bleed!"
Send the order, Xu Rong, the governor of Shangjun, Dong Zhao, the governor of Shangdang, and Jushou of Bingzhou Biejia, lead the troops and take the people according to the list! Order, Commander-in-Chief Xu Rong of Shang County, Commander-in-Chief Zhang He of Shangdang Party, and Commander-in-Chief Gao Shun of Taiyuan will assist in handling the case. If there is any resistance, they will be killed without mercy!
In addition, Huang Zhong, the prefect of Yunzhong, led [-] Huolin troops and was transferred to Taiyuan to obey orders. Xu Huang, the chief general of Yanmen, led [-] elite troops and was transferred to Shangdang to obey orders. Duan Jiong, the prefect of Xihe, led [-] elite troops and was transferred to Shangjun to obey orders.
He ordered Yanmen Prefect Tian Feng, Shuofang Prefect Wang Ze, General Han Dang, Wuyuan Prefect Guo Yao, General Cheng Pu, Dingxiang Prefect Zheng Yi, and General Yan Xing to blockade the north. "
"Here!"
In Jinyang, various orders were issued from the governor's office to the counties under the jurisdiction of the governor, and armies from all over the province were mobilized.
The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
Only then did the Bingzhou gentry realize that this was a premeditated trap and there was no solution. There were only two ways to do it: plead guilty and wait for the court to deal with it, or resist and die.
Resistance, death and destruction is a joke. This army is really not a joke. With the fighting power of the slaves in the clan, how can it compare with these killing gods from the battlefield?
According to that person's temper, if he takes action, the entire clan will probably not be left alive.
By pleading guilty, the family's accumulation over generations will be lost in one fell swoop. Not only wealth, but also reputation will be lost. Although one can save part of it, is there any hope for the family? The families in Bingzhou were still entangled. The two brothers Wang Ze and Wang Rou of the Wang family in Jinyang, and the father and son Guo Quan and Guo Mian of the Guo family in Yangqu rushed to Jinyang at night and starry, not for anything else but to plead guilty.
There was such a scum in the family, and he was killed miserably this time.
Liu Han didn't say much, he just gave them a sentence and asked them to go back and think about where to go in the future. After thinking about it, come back when things are done, otherwise they won't come.
Obviously, this is an opportunity given to them by Liu Han to take sides. Although Wang Rou and Guo Quan of the Jinyang Wang family and Yangqu Guo family are the heads of the family, there are many branches in the clan, and they surrender openly, but there are still people doing despicable things secretly. This time Just let them clean the family. If they can't clean it, Liu Han will take action.
