Chapter 75

The iron tiger goes to the gate to shout again, but the gate of Qingzhou is closed, and there is no one to answer.

In Chengnei, Qingzhou, several powerful people gathered together to discuss how to deal with it. Of course, they can't know nothing when the troops are in the city. It is because they have known for a long time that they are hesitant about how to deal with it.

Originally, according to their idea, even if the imperial court sent reinforcements, they should first go to support prion Prefecture. Qingzhou is in the last place. When the people of the imperial court arrive, they will be able to completely control Qingzhou City. At that time, there will be soldiers and horses with money and food. Let alone talk about the terms of peace talks with the imperial court, they will be able to become king by themselves.

In today's world, although powerful landlords are very rich, they are nothing without the rank of Lord. Their hard-earned money, the first sentence they have to face timidly obediently sent up. No one wants to be a obedient Pug all the time. Now is the time to start an accident.

Qingzhou army has been supported by them. They all know what virtue it is. The powerful landlords usually raised more domestic warriors, otherwise they could not react so quickly to form a guard army after the accident. Originally, they were good at calculating, but they never expected that they would be the Northern Warlord and Yanzhou army.

King of Northern Warlords, who is that? It's an invincible murderer. Beidi people are not afraid. Can they be afraid of them?

Some of them were timid and fearless. Seeing the silence, they suggested, "why don't you open the gate and welcome people in first?"

His words made the originally silent hall even more quiet. Sitting at the top was Shi Kairen, the owner of the Shi family. The wealth of the Shi family was so great that it could rival the country. In southern counties, there was always the nickname of "Shi emperor". Half of the guards were from the Shi family. Shi Kairen, the owner of the Shi family, naturally became the leader of the powerful.

The crowd subconsciously looked at him and saw Shi Kairen sneer: "if you are afraid, go out and beg for mercy. Does the king and Marquis Xiang Ning have seed? Why can't we change the world? Do you want to be a dog under the feet of Yejing family all your life? "

What he said was very rebellious, but no one dared to refute it. Shi's family is unique in Qingzhou. Even Qingzhou general Zuo Qiu wants to see his face.

The person who took the lead in talking suddenly looked like a man, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Someone saw that Shi Kairen was determined to fight, and cautiously proposed: "but outside the city is the king of Northern War. He has a reputation for being fierce, and he never fails. If he is up to the top... "

Shi Kairen sneered: "what if you never fail? His long-distance attack was very tiring, and there was not enough food and grass outside the city. We dragged on for a month and a half, and they couldn't hold on. We can't wait. Either he will give up Qingzhou and go to Qingzhou to support us, then we will have enough time to eat Qingzhou. At that time, what the imperial court said will not count. Or he will stick to Qingzhou and wait until the city of Qingzhou is broken, and those refugees will fight to Yejing. Even if they kill gods, they will have to lose their heads! Why should we fear it? "

He had a sinister look on his face, and was in a state of strategizing. Some of the powerful people who were afraid of the reputation of the king of the Northern War were gradually moved by him and began to let go. He smiles and compliments master Shi for his excellent strategy.

Just did not wait for them to say a few more words, but heard a loud noise in the distance, even the ground began to shake up, the top of the beam fell wood dregs and dust, scared these just now are still talking about the powerful people face like dirt, run out in embarrassment.

"What's the matter? Has the earthworm turned over? "

Finally escaped to the open space, the powerful are no longer respectable, Shi Kairen is still neat, but also with a look of fear. The loud noise came faintly from the direction of the city gate. One after another, it didn't stop at all.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw the city gate guard galloping over and said in fear, "the city gate can't be guarded!"

Qingzhou City gate is as firm as a rock. How can it be lost so soon?

Shi Kairen's face sank and said, "what's the matter? Make it clear

The general was injured, and his body was covered with blood and dust. He looked so scared that he stammered: "they threw a kind of black stone at the gate. The black stone exploded as soon as it was thrown, but four or five of them loosened the gate!"

Shi Kairen's face is dark, but he doesn't know what the black stone that can destroy the gate is.

But before he understood it, he heard the loud noise stop, and then the black people and horses surrounded them. They were ahead of each other. They were strong and fierce, but their words made people tremble: "the imperial reinforcements are near the city, but you refuse to open the city gate. Why? Is it a rebellion? "

Shi Kairen is calm, but he is not as brave as other powerful men. They are used to the life of being respectable. Although they are not satisfied with the oppression of Yejing aristocratic family, they have no courage to revolt. It is the choice of Shi family leader under coercion and inducement when they come to this situation. Now, when we see the army that has killed people, we just look at the momentum, and we are scared to be weak.

Hao Qiang knelt on the ground and trembled: "we dare not, just, just..." It's just something, but I haven't said it for a long time.

Xiao Zhige picked the corner of his mouth and fixed his eyes on Shi Kairen, who was still standing in the middle. Shi Kairen is over 40 years old. He is tall and thin. He is dressed in a beautiful robe. Although he is a bit embarrassed, he has a lot of momentum, as if he is not afraid. He even squinted at Xiao Zhige and said with a false smile, "it's better to see than to hear. The king of Northern War is worthy of being the God of war of Daye. We have been guarding Qingzhou for a long time, but we haven't been waiting for reinforcements. At first I heard someone shouting outside the city. I thought it was cheating. I was just discussing this matter, but I didn't think the Lord could break through the gate and come in... "What he said seemed to be that Xiao Zhige was anxious to wait for them to open the gate, rather than that they deliberately did not open it.

Xiao Zhige smiles coldly, but he is impatient to talk to him. He looks down at him and says, "I'm here to put an end to the chaos. What's the situation in Qingzhou, please report it first."

After that, he drove his horse directly to the general's house. Behind him, 20000 Yanzhou troops moved with them. They were uniform and powerful, far from the weak Qingzhou army. Xie Ling, who was also on his trip, galloped forward, looked at them with a smile, and said, "please. My Lord, time is too expensive to delay. "

At this time, the general's house was vacant. Twenty thousand soldiers went to set up their own defenses. A group of people left behind and quickly took control of the general's house. Xiao Zhige sat in the hall and drank a cup of tea before the heroes came on foot.

They usually travel in soft sedans and carriages, and they rush forward and back. How can they walk in such a mess. There was Xie Ling behind him, who seemed to be driving a group of livestock. When they arrived, they were all out of breath and in a mess.

Because he refused to open the gate before, Xiao Zhige had already sharpened his sword to them. At this time, his attitude was not very good. He didn't even let him sit down, so he began to ask about the situation in Qingzhou City and where the troops were deployed.

In Qingzhou City, the powerful guards occupied the xichengmen and nanchengmen, which were the residences of the powerful and wealthy families. The refugees controlled the North City and occupied the east gate and the north gate. Qingzhou long street is the boundary between the two sides. Although there is no large-scale fight, there are many frictions and small-scale fights. Until the arrival of Xiao Zhige, the city has maintained a delicate balance.

"Ten thousand guards in the city?"

Xiao Zhige raised his eyebrows and looked at them coldly: "encroach on land, farmland and houses, raise private soldiers, and refuse to open the gate of the city..."

“…… Who gave you the courage? " Xiao Zhige's voice sank and he looked at them.

Some people have been scared out of their wits and dare not refute it, but others refuse to admit it. Shi Kai ren'ang said: "the Lord has wronged us. The land transaction is all about you. I'm willing to sign the contract. How can we encroach on the land? Besides, if there were no private soldiers, Qingzhou would have been captured by the refugees. We dare not take credit, but we can't bow down and admit our guilt! I'd like to ask the king to see clearly! "

Seeing that Shi Kairen opened his mouth, others seemed to have found the backbone and agreed with him one after another.

Xiao Zhige and so on they said enough, just raised his hand, asked Zhou Helan to bring up the evidence which had been prepared long ago. During his trip, he first killed the powerful civilians and then took over the refugees. Naturally, he would not be unprepared for these powerful civilians. Zhou Helan had been in the southern counties for some time, and often dealt with powerful landlords. At this time, it was best to collect evidence.

A box of evidence was put on the side. Xie Ling picked up a copy at random and read: "in the 13th year of the Qingli period, Shiqian, the second son of the Shi family's eldest son, took a fancy to a peasant girl and wanted to accept her as his concubine. The peasant girl refused. Shiqian killed her parents and took over the peasant girl."

"In the fourteenth year of the Qingli period, when the Qing Dynasty was out of touch with the Yellow River, the Shi family's Qianzhuang set aside money to earn money by" lamb interest. ". In the autumn of the next year, more than a hundred tenants were unable to repay their debts, and their land was forcibly occupied to repay their interests. Some beautiful looking farm girls were forcibly taken away to repay their debts. "

Over the years, powerful landlords have been rampant, and their crimes are numerous. The powerful Shi family is even more unscrupulous, relying on the government to see his face, relying on his support, arrogant to the point of even covering up. All the fields and women that the Shi family like They're going to be able to grab it. In recent years, I don't know how many tenants have become the victims of the Shi family to collect money, and I don't know how many good girls have been forcibly robbed into the house by the Shi family. The Shijia residence is as magnificent as the Forbidden Palace in Yejing, and it's luxurious as the royal family.

Xiao Zhige's face was gloomy. He threw the evidence on Shi Kairen's face, and gave him no chance to argue. He said in a cold voice: "Shi family and other people are raising private soldiers, occupying land, killing innocent people indiscriminately, robbing women If there is nothing in the law, there is no excuse for a crime. According to the king's decree, the Shi family will be arrested immediately. The principal offender will be beheaded in the city tomorrow, and the accomplice will be beheaded. The rest of the family members were exiled for three thousand li except those who were forcibly robbed. All the land of the family property was checked and filled the national treasury. "

Shi Kairen's body trembled, and his eyes began to crack: "if you want to add sin to it, you can't help it! This is slander! I don't agree

His eyes were wide open, and his eyes turned in his eyes. He seemed to think of something. He said quickly, "I'm the prince's in law, and my daughter is Prince Liangdi. Who dares to kill me! I want to see the prince

Xiao Zhige coldly looked at his dying struggle, only said: "drag it down, tomorrow in front of the long street execution!"

Even if Shi Kairen has a thousand stratagems, it can't be used at this time. He glared and was dragged down, roaring. The rest of the powerful see a few words between the stone family will be full of copy cut, courage to be scared, bent on the ground to beg for mercy.

Xiao Zhige doesn't intend to kill all of them. He glances at Xie Ling. Xie Ling came forward to appease: "you don't have to worry. The Lord is very observant. He will not let a criminal go, but he will not be wronged."

The heroes were even more frightened by what he said. Who can be here, who hasn't done anything? Even if he didn't commit a crime, there was someone in the family who committed a crime and was involved in human life. They looked anxiously at Xiao Zhige as if they were waiting for his death sentence.With a smile, Xie Ling saw that the purpose of shock and awe had been achieved, and then said gently: "people are not sages, who can do nothing wrong. The Lord is not the one who will kill everything. At present, Qingzhou is in chaos, and the people are suffering from exile. The Lord is kind to the people. It's not too late for you to make up your contribution. "

he didn't say clearly how to overcome the meritorious deeds, but all the people here are human spirits, so why don't they understand
