Chapter 60: Of course good people have to do it themselves
Li Ze stood on the beam and watched his troops slowly pressing towards the refugees below from three directions. After a brief silence below, chaos finally appeared. The young and strong people began to run to the rear, and the old, weak, women and children didn't have the strength to even walk a few steps. They could only squeeze into a group in despair and look at the bodies forced by the fully armed soldiers in horror.
Chen Changping did not run away. Beside him, Chen Changfu and Chen Changan, who had just been sent back to report the news by Li Ze.
"Brother!" Chen Changfu's voice trembled.
Chen Changping sighed: "Forget it, it's not necessary to fight for trapped beasts. I hope the official on the other side will keep his word and only kill the evil people, and not threaten them."
Chen Changan, who came back, had already explained the general situation clearly. Even Liu Chenglin has now become the captive of the man opposite, and Chen Changping did not feel that he had any chance of luck.
If the other party has few people and everyone runs in scattered, or there are always some people who can escape, but now, the other party has too many people. He turned around and looked at the people who were running on the road, and sighed. Since the other party could set up an ambush here and wait for him to get in, how could he let the road ahead go?
As expected, as he expected, there was an additional team of people in the place where they had walked. They beat the fleeing panicked people to the ground and tied up.
An officer with a helmet and armor walked to the place where he was not far away from him, staring at him. Behind this man, dozens of iron armored soldiers were lined up into an attack lineup. With just one charge, blood would flow into a river.
Chen Changping threw away the horizontal knife in his hand, took off the big bow on his back and two quiver pots under his waist, and threw it at the feet of the officer opposite him. Chen Changfu struggled for a while, and finally threw the knife in his hand over.
After leaving all the weapons in his hand, Chen Changping knelt down in front of the officer. Behind him, bursts of howling sounded.
For some reason, Chen Changping suddenly felt much more relaxed at this moment. He had tried his best, and it was not good to bear the lives of thousands of people on him. From this moment on, he no longer had to bear it. Although he didn't think he would have a good end, even if he died, he felt like he had lifted his heavy burden.
From now on, everything will no longer be under his control.
Tu Lichun waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed up and stringed all the young and strong men with ropes. Chen Changping, Chen Changan and Chen Changfu naturally had special treatment and were tied up.
Chen Changping felt relaxed, but Li Ze couldn't feel relieved.
Thousands of people!
The easiest way is to cut all these people into the mountain valley and throw them all. Naturally everything will be fine, but can he do it? Even though he feels that his heart is very hard now, he has never thought about such a thing. So when Shen Congxing walked to him and asked in a low voice if it had been chopped, he kicked Shen Congxing into a big horse party.
Shen Congxing got up very aggrievedly. Because when they were still in the Chengde army, they always did this way when dealing with rebellions. They killed people and carried their heads to report their merits to their superiors.
"Young Master, do you want to take these people?" Shi Zhuang seemed to see Li Ze's thoughts and walked over and said, "Hundreds of young and strong men are worth doing this, but there are so many burdens, and it's costing to raise it!"
Li Ze exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Or what if? I wasted such a lot of energy, and even died, I had to lose seven or eight subordinates, but in the end I couldn't get anything. We would always have some rewards for our efforts. As long as we survive this winter, these people will eventually be able to support themselves."
"Young Master can find Yang Kai." Shi Zhuang smiled and said, "Although Wuyi County can't find any good land, there are still a lot of wasteland. If you find Yang Kai, you can get the land and resettle these people with legitimate reason. However, Yang Kai is a poor man. He can take out the land and place the money for resettle these people. He may not be able to take out the money for resettle these people."
Li Ze scratched his scalp, "I also asked him to make some money and let him pay the money back to the county. He could get some more or less. Moreover, he was asked to collect the credit for the bandit suppression this time. Yizhou would always give him some rewards, and then he could probably get some money in the name of resettling these refugees."
"Even so, it's probably a big shortcoming."
"I'll only make up for the rest." Li Ze sighed: "I originally sent Tuhu to earn some quick money this winter, but now it seems that the money has not yet been heated up, so I have to be dispersed again. I hope it will be worth the money and will not let me lose money in the future."
"As long as the young master firmly grasps the four Chen brothers, he will naturally not lose money." Shi Zhuang smiled. "Also, young master, although this matter is done in the name of Yang Kai, the young master must take the power of affairs in his hands so that these people can understand that the young master is their rebirth benefactor."
"This is naturally. How can I give it to Yang Kai for such an opportunity to pretend to be good?" Li Ze said with a smile.
Tu Lichun walked over with a strange expression.
"Young master, Liu Chenglin's parents and girls are actually in this team. No wonder Liu Chenglin pursues these people even with only twenty family generals! How do they deal with them? Liu Chenglin's son is the county magistrate of Shiyi County."
Li Ze was stunned for a while before shook his head and said, "This is unlucky. Let's go and meet this County Magistrate Liu. Oh, remember, in front of this Master Liu, my name is Yang Kai."
Shi Zhuang and Tu Lichun both laughed.
Mr. Liu's face finally regained some blood. He was drinking a bowl of ginger soup in big mouthfuls. He watched Li Ze and his group come over and stood up quickly.
At this moment, he had recovered from calmness. Judging from the manners of these people, they were naturally all officers and soldiers on Wuyi. Although he was under the rule of Henghai Army and Wuyi was under the rule of Chengde Army, everyone was all ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
"This is the magistrate of Liu County. I was frightened and frightened. I am Yang Kai, the magistrate of Wuyi County. When I heard that a mob had fled into my territory, I brought the yamen runners and the soldiers of the government to arrest him. Is it a lucky battle that made me successful. The magistrate of Liu County suffered a lot along the way, right?"
Mr. Liu's face was burning. He was also a county magistrate. He was so arrogant that he captured hundreds or thousands of mobs in one go, but he became the meat tickets for these mobs. I felt embarrassed to think about it.
"Thank you, Magistrate Yang, for helping you." He bowed deeply to the ground, "After Liu returns, he will definitely receive a good reward."
"The Liu County Magistrate has a strong opinion. Wuyi and Shiyi are adjacent to each other, and they should have watched over each other and helped each other. These rebels flew into our Wuyi territory, which has become my business. Liu County Magistrate was supported by the mob, but he was not defeated. Yang admired him very much!"
"Shame!"
"What are these two?"
"Oh, this is my wife, this is the little girl Ruyan." Mr. Liu quickly introduced to Li Ze.
Two women, one old and one young, walked up and looked at Yang Kaifu. Mrs. Liu was in her early thirties, but Liu Ruyan was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She didn't look like Mrs. Liu with her eyelids lowered, but her eyes were staring at Li Zegu's spin.
Li Ze smiled and turned his body to the side, bowing and saying, "You two are frightened."
"Mr. Yang County, I have a son named Liu Chenglin. I have been following these thieves behind. I wonder if Magistrate Yang has seen him?" Mr. Liu asked with some concern.
Li Ze shook his head cleanly and neatly: "I have never seen this big green mountain, so I'm afraid there will be some other way. County Magistrate Liu doesn't have to worry. Go back first, and then I will send someone to send you and your family back to Shiyi. If the noble son can't find it, either return to Shiyi or to my Wuyi, you will naturally know the news at that time."
"Thank you, County Magistrate Yang." Mr. Liu bowed repeatedly: "This time I have been grateful for my great kindness. I will never forget it. If I use Liu's place in the future, I will definitely not dare to refuse."
