Chapter 234 Mass murder
Chapter 234: Killing
After being so ravaged and bullied by Xi Manzi, the hatred of the people in Longmen County towards them can be imagined. When the turmoil was pacified, the Tiancheng cavalry was busy demolishing the houses around Shuntian Goods Store, the tolls who were too busy could only rely on the chance to escape the disaster and the minor injuries of the Tang people to help tie up the injured Xi Man.
In a turbulent environment, people's emotions are always easily distorted, not to mention the strongest catalyst for hatred. Faced with these Xi Man who had no power to commit crimes, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not expect to tie them with the rope they found in their hands, so they naturally began to rush up, kick, and kick.
When the Tang people who came to help beat the first Xi man to death, they didn't care much about the tolerances in charge of the street. They smiled while looking at each other, and even a tolerance said: "I deserve it."
But it was precisely because of this situation that the situation deteriorated rapidly that other Tang people's movements became more and more heavy after seeing this situation. Then there was a second and third Xi people who were beaten to death.
At this time, the tolerances felt that something was wrong. One was due to the sensitivity of the corps itself, and the other was when the Tiancheng cavalry arrived, they were also at the county government office, but they had clearly heard Tang Cheng's request. However, when the tolerances realized that it was wrong and wanted to stop it, they found that the situation had begun to lose control and they were unable to stop so many Tang people.
When the man who went to ask for instructions came back with Tang Cheng's decree and a team of fifty-man Tiancheng Iron Cavalry, the out-of-control scene was back on track. Although there were only fifty cavalry, when they ran all the battlefield, the cold momentum was still enough to shock, not to mention that the decree of the county master was iron and clear enough. After experiencing the morning's promotion to the hall, especially after the quelling of the riot, the cold image of the new county magistrate holding a long sword was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people. Faced with the harsh decree he issued in such a situation, no one dared to take it lightly.
The result of the above two points has brought the situation to control, but Jiang Duwei was not wrong. The hatred and resentment that the people of the Tang people could not vent were naturally transferred to Tang Cheng, the person who issued the decree. Some pessimists even muttered in a low voice that although the new county magistrate was tough enough, they were probably not much different from those of the previous county magistrates.
Just as this pessimistic argument spread more and more, the shocking gong in the hand of the Totor suddenly rang out, and then the people of the Tang people, who were so angry, heard the order that made them have infinite imagination, and gathered under the North Gate Tower to watch the punishment.
Watch the punishment? Who should the county magistrate execute the punishment? And is it a special place like the city gate tower that was chosen for execution?
For a moment, all the people of Tang people who were still moving gathered downstairs of the North City Gate. Even those who were seriously injured and bad at walking out with the help of others were gritting their teeth and going out to find a place with good vision. After experiencing the turmoil just now and after the new county magistrate led people to quell the turmoil, they are now paying more attention to the movements of the county government than ever before.
They want to see with their own eyes what the new county magistrate will do?
All the people could come, and then they saw more than a hundred Xi Manzi, who were thick and fierce, standing on the city tower with a strong body and fierce face, tied up on the back. Behind each of them was a border soldier wearing armor, but it was not these people who aroused the emotions of the people, but the long swords held in the hands of the border soldiers.
One hundred and fifty-three people pulled a row of spacing across the street, which almost occupied half of the northern city wall. The one hundred and fifty-three long swords behind them flashed like a straight line and lined up with cold light. The combination of the two seemed to have a different shocking effect to the people under the city tower.
"kill!"
I don’t know if the people were the first to shout this downstairs of the city gate, and then it attracted a harmonious voice. So many people gathered together and shouted loudly to kill, which was indeed a good place to vent their emotions in their hearts. The shouts of killing were getting louder and louder. Many people in the Tang Dynasty had their eyes congested and their throats were hoarse and their throats were hoarse. They just turned all their strength and emotions into a vicious word "kill" and roared out.
Tang Cheng, who was dressed in a tightly dressed in the city, was guarding the city tower by a group of eight contingents who walked up to the city tower by a group of eight contingents. With a shocking sound of gongs, the sound of the scattered shouts and killing under the city tower slowly calmed down. Without exception, the people raised their heads and focused their eyes on him, the new county magistrate.
Tang Cheng slowly swept over the crowd with his face tilted down, and then said in a slow and clear tone: "The power of life and death is the foundation of the country, and it will never be given up. In Longmen County, except for the official who is the emperor's emperor's guardian, who can determine life and death, those who dare to kill are disregarding the laws of the court, and this official must be severely punished. This is the case with the people, and so are you."
The sound was clear and cold, and there was a sense of majesty that could not be violated. At this time, there was a silence under the city gate tower. The people who raised their heads quietly listened to the new county magistrate's loud declaration of their authority.
"Anyone who is the power that is the right of this county should never allow others, and the responsibility that the county should bear will never be shirked and abandoned." Tang Cheng's voice was still as cold as before, "A summary of the governance of a county is only the four words of rewarding good and punishing evil. If there is good, you must reward all good and do good. If there is fault, you must punish all evil and you will disappear. In this way, the county can be managed in a great way."
At this point, Tang Cheng turned slightly and pointed to the tied Xiren not far away, saying, "They openly plundered the murderer Wudu first, and then gathered people to turmoil later. As the people under the rule of Longmen, they regarded the laws of the county and the court as false. As the head of a county, this official would not allow such thugs to escape from the law. He must use heavy rules to govern chaos. According to the Tang Dynasty, the official has the right to behead and then report to the rebellion. Based on this, the county has put these 153 atrocities and demons in public, thinking that later generations are warned. From today on, anyone who ignores the laws of the court and the orders of the county government will be the example!"
After saying these words that declared the authority of the county government, Tang Cheng's eyes glanced at the crowd under the city again, waved his arm down, and shouted in a broken voice: "Kill!"
As soon as his killing order was released, one hundred and fifty-three soldiers of Tiancheng Army had raised the long swords with their hands and slashed them hard. The sword that used all his strength was so fierce that the Xiren, whose bodies were tied and whose mouths were also stuffed with rotten cloth, had already left his head differently without making a sound.
In order to let the people downstairs look carefully, these Xi people were originally escorted to the city wall. With one hundred and fifty-three quick knives cut at the same time, 153 heads also flew down the city. Following the head was the 153 neck blood that was rushing out of the 153 chambers. It is hard for people who have never witnessed it with their own eyes to imagine that human blood could spurt so far under the pressure! The blood that rushes from high to bottom fell to the ground had turned into a bloody rain. The people standing in front could not dodge at all, and they were covered in a head and covered in...
The news of the Xi people in Longmen County's turmoil and quelling the chaos spread to the Guizhou Governor's Mansion in Huairong City for a long time.
The tea cup in Niu Zude's hand was hanging stiffly in the air and still unaware of it. He had been in such a disobedient posture for a while, and An Biejia, who was sitting a few days apart, forgot to remind him, or he had not noticed it at all. At this time, like the governor Niu, he focused all his attention on the person who reported the news.
The person who came to report the news was a meticulous person, and the matter was clearly stated. At this time, his narration was coming to an end. He was talking about the scene of a murder at the Longmen City that day. Even though he was not a stable person who liked to make a fuss, he still looked pale and his voice was fluttering when describing everything he witnessed that day.
Bloody, so bloody! But he had to admit that such bloodyness was indeed useful after experiencing the city's turmoil. After witnessing such a scene of unforgettable murder, the depressedness in the Tang people, who finally vented their hatred, was wiped out. For Tang Cheng, who ordered the murder, after such a scene, every word he said on the city tower that day was clearly recorded, and it was as clear as if it was carved by a knife.
At this point, no one added the word "small" when the people mentioned the county magistrate. In the past few days, every decree issued by the county government has been obeyed. Under the leadership of such a powerful county magistrate, Longmen County, which had just experienced a great turmoil, quickly settled down at a jaw-dropping speed. As time goes by, everything that happened in the county is gradually spreading to the entire Longmen area, and what is spread is also the power and authority of the new county magistrate. Such power and authority have not been seen in Longmen County for decades.
When the person who reported the news said that Shuntian Goods Store was burned, Niu Zude shook suddenly, and the cold tea water in the teacup splashed on his hands, then he realized his loss of composure.
The teacup was gently put down, but the hand holding the teacup was already full of veins.
After all the news reports were finished, Niu Zude, who waved his hand to condemn him, didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he spoke after several deep breaths: "Don't let me go, you're right."
"Um?"
"When Tang Cheng came to see you more than a month ago, you said that although he was young, he was determined and tolerant, and he was not a simple person." At this point, Niu Zude, who closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath again, "I didn't agree with your words at that time, and even slacking off and indulging in him, but now he is suffering from his own consequences."
It has been a long time since he was an official under Niu Zude. This is what An Biejia admires most. This is how he can calm down when he is the most difficult but needs to calm down. This is also one of the most important reasons why he, a down-and-out scholar, can reach such a high position today.
An Biejia didn't answer this conversation, but asked directly: "How should I deal with the matter of Longmen?"
