There are twenty people around Li Wu to protect Li Wu. Other tax collectors have been caught in a net. These people have been trampled on the ground. Some have done bad things and have been punched and kicked by the military people.
More than a dozen people around Li Wu were confidants and always wanted to carry them hard, but when they saw Liu Zhongyong's commanders Ding stabbing them with long guns, they directly stabbed them to death, and knelt down one after another to beg for mercy.
Li Wu was left alone at the scene. He stood alone, looking very embarrassed and hesitant.
Liu Bu said coldly, "if you receive a text or letter from Zhou ruotong, the magistrate of Jimo County, ordering you to come here to apportion taxes, it will be regarded as a misunderstanding. If not, I will treat you as a robbery."
I'm kidding. Where are the orders for such a thing? If you have words and fall into the hands of political enemies, it will be a capital crime.
Li Wu is very afraid. He is usually a bully who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he looks at the servants of Liu Bu, holding cold weapons. He is surrounded by angry Fushan military households and farmers. A person is surrounded by thousands of people, and everyone can drown it with a mouthful of water.
Li Wu, holding a five ring broadsword in his hand, shouted, "don't come here! I'm not polite. I'm a confidant of Lord Zhou, the county magistrate. You deserve to be killed."
Liu Bu asked, "Ben will ask you whether there is writing or not?"
Li Wu said, "of course. You wait for Lord Zhou to send it to me right away."
Liu Bu knew that there was no such order. Then he winked at Mao Shengli. Mao smoothly drew his bow and shot an arrow at Li Wu's wrist. The knife in his hand fell to the ground. The soldiers next to him rushed up, hit him on the leg with a stick, and then he knelt on the ground.
The soldiers dragged Li Wu to Liu Bu's eyes. Liu Bu sat on the horse, condescending and arrogant. He looked at each other contemptuously and said, "who ordered you to rob me?"
Li Wu said, "robbery, what robbery? I'm the imperial court commander in charge of collecting taxes in this area."
Liu Bu sneered dismissively and said, "what are your products, imperial court commander?"
When Liu Bu said this, the other party couldn't speak. Li Wu usually boasted that he was an official appointed by the imperial court, but he didn't dare to be so crazy in front of Liu Bu, a real official appointed by the imperial court.
The establishment of the imperial court in a county is very small. There are only county magistrate, county magistrate, Xueyu, constable and so on. Generally, there are no more than five people. Li Wu is not even a constable, not to mention those who can't get on the table and specialize in private and dirty work. If something happens, the county magistrate won't admit that they are people in the county, It's just temporary workers.
Li Wu said, "Liu Bu, don't be complacent. Who doesn't know that your Liu family has lost power. If you dare to offend me, I will return it a hundred times in the future."
Liu Bu said, "you mean to remind me that I have to cut down the roots today and leave none."
Li Wu took a fancy to Liu Bu's gloomy eyes and shivered, but he was a dead duck with a hard mouth. His head tilted and stopped talking. He looked like a hero who wanted to kill and cut.
Liu Bu ordered his men to put all the military households tied to the wooden stake down, arranged the doctor to heal them, saw that the shelves were empty, and then ordered people to tie up Li Wu and his tax Ding.
Li Wu said bitterly, "Liu Bu, I'm an official after all. You humiliate me so much. I won't die with you."
Liu preached: "you, a man without an official or duty, went down to the Fushan office to rob money without any order. I'll count it as a robber. I'll ask you who ordered you to come. If you give up the mastermind behind the scenes, you can avoid your death. Otherwise, today next year will be your death day."
When Li Wu heard Liu Bu's words, he was afraid of killing people. He said, "it's all the villain's fault. The villain doesn't know that Lord Ma's three eyes collided with the adult tiger power. I'd like to offer 3000 liang of tattooed silver to make amends to the adult."
Liu Bu winked at Liu Kang. Liu Kang knew Liu Bu very well. With a look in his eyes, he immediately understood it. He took a team of people to leave immediately. He was responsible for copying the tax office. The tax office has always collected a lot of money, but he got a lot of things. Moreover, Li is a careless person. His family also lives in the tax office, It can also be understood that all his possessions are in the office. Now I have the opportunity to copy him.
Liu Bu said, "it's useful to apologize. What do you want the law to do? I'm going to ask you today. No one wants you, that's what you're going to do for Ben. I'm going to let you know the end of offending the Liu family."
Li Wu's heart was cold. He said, "Liu! Don't deceive people too much. You've done too well."
Liu Zhongyong next to Liu Bu said, "Sir, have we gone a little too far? After all, he is the servant of Lord Zhou Wentong. Beat the dog to see the master."
Liu Bu said, "beating a dog depends on its owner? Do I still invite him to come? I'll beat him now and then hit its owner."
Liu Zhongyong said, "how can this be possible? Although Zhou Wentong, the magistrate of Jimo County, is only a small official of seven grades and a county magistrate, he is the appointed official of the imperial court and the shepherd. If he openly beats him, it can be defined as rebellion."
Liu Bu said, "you won't say that bandits did it?"
Liu Zhongyong said, "is it appropriate for you?"
Liu preached: "Lao Liu, I've been in Linqing for so many years. I've always had an experience that if someone hits you in the face, you should not only fight back, but also break his legs and hands, so that he will be afraid as soon as he sees you."
Liu Zhongyong said, "your honor?" he hesitated.
If Liu Zhongyong was asked to suppress bandits and fight bandits, he would fight immediately without saying a word. However, if he was asked to attack the county and the government, it would be a crime of rebellion. If he wanted to kill the nine nationalities, he couldn't help thinking carefully.
Liu Bu said, "if you don't want to, I won't force you."
Liu Zhongyong gritted his teeth and said, "the last general is still a soldier, not a thief. If he is a soldier, he will listen to the order. As long as you give the order, he will do it."
After Li Wu and his family were tied up, the military people applauded and applauded one after another. Moreover, many people smashed stones, soil and rotten vegetables. As for eggs, it was impossible. Eggs were used for eating.
Liu Bu said, "you are an excellent professional soldier. That's what I would appreciate most about you." he ordered to lock all Li Wu's people in chains and send them to work in the Tibetan army valley. They were killed for nothing. They stayed, copied his family property, and then forced them to work in the mountain as slaves, It can also generate new value for the Liu family.
Liu Zhongyong said, "these people are lazy and idle land scoundrels. Is it possible for them to work? These people are impossible to work?"
Liu Bu said, "it's impossible to work. Our sticks and whips are used for decoration. If you don't want to do it, beat him if you are willing to do it. If you can't do it until you can do it, I don't believe it. There are such cheap bones. It's useless to beat them?"
Liu Zhongyong smiled knowingly when Liu Bu reminded him. This is also true. Which prison is not the kind of prickly head and local ruffians. As a result, after going to the prison, everyone is obedient. They just have to beat and will beat obediently.
Liu Bu immediately announced that these people were defined as robbers, washed the Fushan office, confiscated all their property and sentenced to ten years in prison.
They said they were sentenced to ten years in prison. Instead of sending these prisoners to the county, they directly detained them in the Tibetan army Valley and Fushan office, and asked them to help build roads, ditches, bridges and roads for free.
Li Wu wanted to send troops to engage in the Liu family. The result was that Liu Bu had hundreds of free labor force in vain.
Liu Bu is a huge group. Now they are more focused on military training. There are still many things that need people to do. They have to pay for these work. Now they are captured and turn them all into slaves to work for the Liu family. It is also a way of waste utilization.
Liu Zhongyong said, "my Lord, what about Zhou Wentong?" he knew that such a big thing had happened. Zhou Wentong would soon know that with Zhou Wentong's strength and temper, he would ask them for their sins.
Liu Bu said, "Zhou Wentong, what can he do?"
Liu Zhongyong explained: "he will certainly ask Jiaozhou for help, frame us for rebellion, and then send an army to us."
Liu preached, "he knows that the Tongzhi of Jimo camp is my uncle and won't call anyone, so his only way is to send someone to Jiaozhou for help."
Liu Zhongyong said, "your analysis is right."
Liu Bu said: "send a pair of men and horses to hunt His Messenger, don't let him send a messenger, go to Jiaozhou for help, and then send more than 600 people disguised as bandits to loot the county seat of Jimo county and give him a good look."
Liu Zhongyong said, "is it all right, sir?"
Liu Bu said: "Of course, if someone beats me, I'll fight back. I can't fight overnight. Otherwise, I can't sleep. I can't eat this dumb loss for nothing. He Zhou Wentong has a duty to defend the territory. There are so many bandits alive and attack the county directly. It's estimated that the top will be held accountable and will punish him. I believe that in this way, they won't have time to come to us I'm in trouble. "
When Liu Zhongyong thought about it, he immediately said, "yes, I will do it myself."
Liu Bu whispered, "order the brothers to only rob money and money and not kill innocent people indiscriminately. If they kill innocent people indiscriminately and maim civilians, don't blame the general's military order for not recognizing people."
Liu Zongyong said, "I see."
