In the small town in the south of Qingming, countless refugees gathered in the open space outside the town. In the center of the open space stood a high platform, with three people kneeling on it, and behind each stood a tall and round executioner.
A monk on the high platform mobilized his power, allowing the tens of thousands of people present to hear clearly. He first read out the identities of the three people, who were all deacons of the Zhao Guo caravan, and were charged with colluding with the mole and embezzling food from the porridge.
He deserves to be executed. Now that the charges have been confirmed, he is here to be questioned and executed.
As soon as the supervisor's voice fell, three broadswords fell, and the head fell to the ground!
The refugees suddenly cheered like thunder and rushed forward, trying to eat some human blood with their steamed buns. The Daoji monks responsible for maintaining order spent a lot of effort to stop them.
However, Wei Yuan gained more than a thousand green energy.
The supervisor then added that there are more than ten accomplices in the caravan who are being interrogated. No matter who they are, they will behead every one who is found guilty and will not tolerate it!
The refugees immediately cheered again, and Wei Yuan gained hundreds of thousands more cheers.
As luck continued to come in, Wei Yuan was no longer calm. He flew directly over the southern town to observe the scene. After watching for a while, Wei Yuan roughly judged that the luck harvested today was more than what these 30,000 refugees could contribute.
The ultimate.
Wei Yuan has been studying the way of luck, and now he has achieved some success, especially on the generation of the refugees' luck. Then with the help of human fireworks, he has taken this research a small step forward.
.Of course, Wei Yuan feels that the main contribution to the research results is himself.
According to the classification of human fireworks, refugees are divided into three major categories.
First, they are honest and easy to deceive. Such people are rare in number, but they are very easy to contribute to luck.
Secondly, they are honest and cannot be deceived. They make up the majority of the refugees and are also called the Wuhe people.
The third type: those who are dishonest and hard to deceive are the so-called unruly people.
The division of the three types of people makes sense.
The first type of people are the easiest to get luck, but their number is small. After all, they die faster in troubled times. If you add someone with a kind heart, it will be impossible to survive to Qingming.
When the beheading officer said that he would continue to behead the rest of his accomplices, the first group of people were mainly responsible for their luck. They were easy to believe in all kinds of empty promises and were easily excited.
The second type of mob is the most numerous. Although it is difficult to deceive, they are accustomed to gathering in groups and do not use their brains to think. Even if there is a volcano in front of them, if everyone jumps in, they will jump in. So this type of people is also a battlefield.
The main force in filling the line.
But once they win their hearts, they will not be easily shaken and will become the main contributors to humanity's destiny in the future.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the third type of people. A long-term research project of Human Fireworks is to identify the third type of people as quickly and accurately as possible, and then send them to the front line of the battlefield.
Wei Yuan's original plan was to behead all the prisoners in the caravan in the next two days and deal with the accomplices slowly.
But seeing the situation at the scene, and new refugees joining every day, Wei Yuan did not want to let go of the luck of the first type of people at his fingertips, so he changed his plan and only killed two people every day. It would take seven or eight days to kill them all.
over.
With such a change, there will be approximately two thousand more green energy. Now for those who have the opportunity to forge a Dao base due to their military exploits, Wei Yuan is ready to bless them with a stream of green energy, which will significantly increase the chance of forging a Dao base.
.Perhaps this is another form of taking from the people and using it for the people.
Wei Yuan's plan was to be the last one to behead the noble young master and gain a big harvest.
In fact, after the interrogation, the whole process has become very clear. This noble gentleman is only the boss in name.
In fact, most of the affairs are left to the bosses and deacons below.
The matter of greed for money and providing food relief was planned by several principals, and then together, they only talked about the advantages and not the disadvantages.
In the end, the noble master made the final decision and the matter was settled. Once something went wrong, the noble master Ding would be responsible for it.
From the beginning to the end, the young master actually didn't quite understand what happened, let alone what the consequences would be.
What all the principals said was that even if something happened, it would be just like in the Zhao State. It would be settled by having some connections and some money. It would only be enough to get hundreds of thousands of kilograms of cheap grain. At worst, the grain would be returned.
Pay some money.
This young man really believed it.
What they didn't know was that all the interrogation records were sorted, summarized, and analyzed in the human world, and finally the whole thing was presented.
But when the facts were before his eyes, Wei Yuan found it difficult to understand.
These principals were able to plan this matter and do it almost flawlessly, which is really talented. But the reason why they tried their best to promote this matter was that they could take a cut of it, and each of them could get more than a hundred taels of silver.
Just for this benefit, they not only ignored it, but also deliberately underestimated the consequences and risks, deceived the noble master, and facilitated this matter.
Wei Yuan couldn't understand why he would put the safety of the entire caravan aside for such a small amount of money? Could it be that in the minds of these bosses, the one hundred taels of silver in their pockets was worth more than the tens of thousands taels of business of the entire caravan?
important?
This idiot may think that Wei Yuan can't do anything to him, but these principals must have studied Wei Yuan. Even if they don't know, they should be able to judge how ruthless Wei Yuan's methods will be after angering him. But
In the end, they made their decision by choosing your young master.
If it were a normal interrogation, they would basically think that this idiot was the mastermind, and the others were just lacklusters.
But when the fireworks started to peel off the cocoon, Wei Yuan discovered that these dog legs were the real masterminds, and then he cleverly hid himself and put the biggest responsibility on the idiot.
This is also the case in many countries in history books. When a king is in a coma, many ministers work together to cut off information, deceive the king, and then make wrong decisions. In the end, the civil servants take over the situation, and the infamy is borne by the king.
From caravans to other countries, there are countless precedents. Wei Yuan also vaguely saw Qing Ming's future ending.
Fortunately, Wei Yuan's cultivation is going smoothly now, and he has a long future. As long as he doesn't die, no one in Qing Ming can do anything. But Wei Yuan suddenly remembered that he is already 218 years old, and he is no longer young.
Several small things that happened in the past few days are independent and have nothing to do with each other. They will be solved after handling them.
But it is a sign of future trends. One can imagine what kind of storms will arise and how many conflicts will occur once Qingming lets go of the wartime system.
With many thoughts on his mind, Wei Yuan continued to prepare for the battle. After a few days of this, he was about to kill the noble young master.
At this time, Li Zhi and Cui Yu jointly found Wei Yuan, and they both came to intercede for the noble young master.
After Wei Yuan inquired carefully, he found out that although Li Zhi and Cui Yu came together, they were actually asked by different people to offer a price for the noble son's life. The prices were respectively ten thousand silver cents or fifty thousand cents.
Thousands of kilograms of grain.
These two prices are very sincere. In the Taichu Palace merit system, a late Tianji monk cannot sell for this price.
But Wei Yuan refused flatly and refused to listen to the bargaining. He said categorically: "Government cannot be established without trust! I just want to use this head to let everyone know the consequences of violating my Qingming law!"
Li Zhi said helplessly: "Where is your law?"
"Right away -" - Well, it will be promulgated after a while. "The law is not a trivial matter, and it cannot be completed in a short time. All the consequences must be weighed. That's why Wei Yuan changed his mind, because in the short term
He couldn't deduce it at all, and he didn't want to follow the laws of Datang and Jiuguo.
Cui Yu finally understood and said: "You want to kill someone to establish your authority, okay, I'll reject that family."
Li Zhi did not give up, and said again: "What you do can only have a temporary effect, but it will harm the entire powerful family of Zhao State, and the gain outweighs the loss. Besides, the punishment is not for the doctor, nor for the doctor's relatives. This is a custom. If you
If I think it's not enough, I can go and order more, and I just happened to win over a few powerful people to our side, which will be a check and balance to King Zhao."
Wei Yuan shook his head: "This is not a matter of money, it is a matter of principle." At this moment, Wei Yuan was already thinking about how much luck beheading the noble young master would bring.
Li Zhi knew that Wei Yuan was determined, so he had no choice but to leave with Cui Yu.
As soon as they left, a soft yet majestic voice suddenly sounded in Wei Yuan's ears: "World Lord Wei,
Can you come out and talk for a while?"
Wei Yuan's heart trembled, this is Yujing's method!
But now that Wei Yuan had the yin and yang bomb in hand, he was not afraid of the ordinary imperial scenery, so he went to the appointment calmly, wanting to see who the visitor was.
A hundred miles away within the realm, there stood a man with loose hair and loose clothes. His eyes were a strange light amber color. He was bohemian yet reserved, blending two contradictory temperaments into one. As for his appearance, Zhao continued.
Li's legacy is first-rate and beautiful.
Seeing Wei Yuan, he said straightforwardly: "Marquis Ping'an of Great Zhao, Li Xiange."
"Wei Yuan of the Taichu Palace, I have met the Marquis of Ping'an." Wei Yuan saluted. Although he didn't understand how a great master of the Royal Scenery could only be granted the title of Marquis, the etiquette must still be in place.
Li Xiange waved his hand and said: "We have a grudge now, so there is no need to talk about these etiquettes. Let's get down to business. I'm here to redeem my disgraced brother-in-law."
When Wei Yuan heard the title of Marquis Ping'an, he knew what was going on, and immediately said: "This brother-in-law has violated the law, and according to the law, he must kill the nine tribes. It is unlikely that the tribe will be killed, but beheading is inevitable. So Ping'an
Please come back——"
Before he could say a word, he heard a sneer from Marquis Ping An, saying: "Two hundred thousand refugees!"
Wei Yuan's heart skipped a beat, why didn't Ping An Hou play his cards according to the routine? This, this, this -——·
Fortunately, he was very good at cultivating qi, so he said expressionlessly, "No."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Wei Yuan shook his head.
"Three hundred thousand!"
Wei Yuan still shook his head.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand."
Wei Yuan almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Why did it still drop? He suddenly became anxious.
Ping'an Hou said calmly: "In the future, the quotations will only get lower every time until the negotiation collapses. Okay, then, twenty-six————."
"Two hundred and ninety thousand!" Wei Yuan interrupted him immediately.
"make a deal!"
Marquis Ping'an immediately threw over a storage bag, which was full of dazzling treasures, and they were indeed spiritual treasures!
He said: "The spiritual treasures here are considered as mortgages. You release my brother-in-law immediately so that I can go back and make an explanation. Then I will send you all the refugees within ten days. You receive the refugees and return the spiritual treasures to me."
.”
Wei Yuan estimated that this bag of spiritual treasures was worth at least one million immortal silver, and immediately said: "Hang Ping'an, please wait a moment."
His figure flickered, and after a moment he returned with the noble young master in his arms, and handed it over to Marquis Ping'an.
The Marquis of Ping'an took the young master and said, "Not sloppy at all, very good, he looks like a hero!"
Wei Yuan hurriedly said: "After we return, please ask Marquis Ping'an to keep it secret for three days.'
"Why?"
Wei Yuan was a little embarrassed and said, "I still want to make a few more small profits."
Ping'an Hou Yi then burst into laughter and said: "It's up to you." Then he waved his sleeves and floated away to Weiyuan and returned to the main peak. He ordered people to call Li Zhi and Cui Yu and said: "We will talk more
Let’s talk about the ransom. Go and ask the two families if they can give you more. If you add a little more, you can seal the deal.”
Li Zhi and Cui Yu were very different. They didn't understand how the change could be so big after just one meal.
Wei Yuan coughed lightly and said, "I just let that person go. He promised to keep it secret for three days, so we have to hurry up."
Cui Yu was deeply shocked: "Didn't you just say that this is a matter of principle?!"
Chapter completed!
