Forty-four Laws (Tenth Update)
...
"Dad, mom, my child~ Xu Wenjing, what do you want to do!"
"I don't do anything, I just help Lord Cao recall those forgotten things..."
"Xu Wenjing, the trouble is not as good as the wife, children, and young people. If you have any problems, come to me and let go of my family..."
Cao Cong watched his relatives kneeling in front of the mansion hall and crying loudly, and his eyes were immediately broken. Just as he wanted to pounce on him, two soldiers grabbed the collars and couldn't move.
But Xu Wenjing first came to Cao Cong's concubine, looked back and forth for a while, and said to Cao Cong with a sinister smile:
"Mr. Cao, I really admire you. I can have such a good beauty with you to warm your bed. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
I am really reluctant to let it go. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the batch of relief grains, you and your family can still be happy in Yuanyang City.
How about it? Or not?”
Cao Cong roared sadly: "Xu Wenjing, the officials really don't know where the relief grains are. What do you want me to say!"
Xu Wenjing let out a "oh" sound, then waved her hand. Soon the soldier behind the concubine immediately raised his sword and cut off her throat. Popular blood splattered out, dyeing the delicious food on the dining table with blood.
"Xu Wenjing!"
Seeing his beloved concubine twitching in a pool of blood for a few times and then there was no movement, Cao Cong roared at Xu Wenjing angrily.
Xu Wenjing turned a deaf ear to this, went straight to the second concubine, and asked Cao Cong: "Sir, I asked again, have you remembered it?"
Cao Cong opened his eyes wide open, shook his head and said, "I really don't know~"
“Hand it…”
"Puchi..."
Xu Wenjing did not say anything extra nonsense and asked the soldiers to cut the throat of his second concubine...
In this way, Cao Cong still showed no sign of letting go after killing six concubines.
Xu Wenjing thought about it and simply pulled Cao Cong's only seedling, six-year-old Cao Chen, to his side, touched his little face, and showed a gloomy smile on his face.
"Don't hurt my son!"
Cao Cong was extremely nervous. You should know that this was the only seedling of the Cao family. If there was a case, the Cao family would really be defeated.
Xu Wenjing ignored Cao Cong, leaned down and squatted in front of Cao Chen, and said loudly: "Little brother, are you afraid of death?"
Cao Chen had been so scared by the deaths of several concubines that his crotch was wet. After Xu Wenjing asked, he just nodded gently.
Xu Wenjing patted his face: "Then advise your father to let him say everything he should say. As long as he says it, your whole family will not have to die..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Chen turned his head blankly to Cao Cong, while Xu Wenjing took the sword from the soldiers and caressed him seriously.
"Dad...you...you say...I...I don't want to die..." Cao Chen said to Cao Cong with a sob.
Cao Cong was about to refuse, but saw Xu Wenjing holding a sword and gesturing at his son's neck. Finally, he couldn't bear the torture. He lowered his head and said, "I said, I all said that the batch of food that helped the victims had been secretly embezzled by major local families..."
Xu Wenjing sneered and continued, "Then write down all the names and residences of people who participated in the greed for food relief!"
Cao Cong could only do what he did, and took the pen and ink to start writing a list of greedy food and supplies, but he saw that he wrote three pages of paper in a scattered manner, which shows how wide the case involved and the far-reaching impact was.
After Cao Cong put his handprint on the paper he wrote, Xu Wenjing immediately put it away, threw down the sword in his hand and patted Cao Cong and said, "Mr. Cao, that's right. In fact, things didn't need to be so extreme, do you think so?"
Cao Cong bowed and begged Xu Wenjing, "Military advisor, I've told you everything I should know. Can I let my whole family live a way out?"
Xu Wenjing nodded: "Of course it's okay. I, Xu Wenjing, always keep my word. Since Lord Cao cooperates so well, how could I break my promise?"
As he said that, Xu Wenjing turned around with a smile, hugged Cao Chen in his arms, and made a move to wipe his neck at Zuo Shuo.
"kill!"
Zuo Shuo understood and immediately took the lead in raising his sword to chop Cao Cong's family.
"ah……"
"don't want……"
"Give me your life..."
"My son saves me..."
Immediately afterwards, amid the shrill crying, Cao Cong's family fell into a pool of blood except Cao Cong and Cao Chen.
"You, you bastard, Xu Wenjing! You promised to let my family go, bastard~"
Watching his relatives fall down one by one and turn into cold corpses, Cao Cong started to go crazy and kept yelling at Xu Wenjing.
"Don't be stupid, Cao Cong!" Xu Wenjing turned around and shouted, stopping Cao Cong's noise and said slowly, "The law of the Military Governor's Office has long stipulated that anyone who greed for one piece of food to provide relief to the victims will be killed immediately, and those who greed for more than ten kilograms of ink will be confiscated.
The laws and regulations established by the Military Governor's Office are all in one word. No one dares to test the law with his own heart. You, a small county magistrate, dares to greed for 100,000 stones of food. It is really a pity to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Guocheng's sharp knife penetrated from Cao Cong's back and penetrated his chest...
Cao Cong spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and tried hard to look at the tip of the knife that was bleeding in his chest. Finally, he looked at his son. He wanted to say nothing but didn't make any sound. Finally, he tilted his head and cut off his vitality.
"call……"
After Cao Cong died, Xu Wenjing exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then said to the remaining six-year-old child Cao Chen: "Child, don't be afraid, uncle will not kill you, you must live well,
However, in this family of rich and frugality, you will always be a coward, so for your own good and for your future success, you will be a man of a strong position. My uncle decided to help you.
After a while, uncle will let someone break your tendons and then throw you into the beggar's nest for someone to adopt. In this harsh environment, uncle believes that you will surely grow up healthily.
You should know that the military governor was also a poor family since childhood. He has never enjoyed any blessings in his life. Everything he has now is his own fight for. You must be like him in the future, do you know..."
Cruel words came to the ears of this ignorant child who was only six years old and had no sense. He didn't know how miserable his future would be.
After Cao Chen was taken away by the soldiers, Zuo Shuo couldn't help but step forward and said, "Military advisor, are you too cruel to do this? Why not just give the child a pleasure..."
"Cruel? Hum..." Xu Wenjing smiled coldly, "Zuo Duwei, where is the right way for this child to live now? Thinking about the victims outside, do you still think this military advisor is cruel? Don't let me hear you say these women's kind words again!"
Zuo Shuo apologized: "I know my subordinates are wrong, so what should I do next when the military advisor?"
Xu Wenjing said: "First copy all the belongings in the county magistrate's office, and don't let go of every brick and stone. According to the Information Department, the Cao family still has at least 40,000 to 50,000 stones of grain. I will search it for me first to serve as a relief grain and grass, so as to reduce some of our burdens.
Then, immediately control the soldiers of the 8,000 defenders (known as 20,000) camp outside the city, and find a way to get rid of their commander and commander at one time. After controlling the army, our military advisor will undergo a thorough purge of Yuanyang and even the entire Liyuan Province.
Only those gentry who harmed the people died will the world not change like hell!”
When Zuo Shuo heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. Although Xu Wenjing's methods were ruthless, he had always been protecting the interests of Liu Ce and the Military Governor's Office, and had a very bottom line. For example, the remark that he would never give a single life-saving pill made Zuo Shuo feel that this military advisor was still a very worthy of appreciation.
Xu Wenjing continued: "However, before this, my military advisor has to do another thing. Always distributing food in vain is never a solution. I inform the people of the whole city that my military advisor has something to tell them tomorrow. It is time to set a rule!"
The next morning...
Most of the people in the city were gathered by Xu Wenjing on a huge square.
I saw Ma Guocheng standing on the temporary platform, holding a drafted manuscript in his hand, glanced at the dark crowd, then cleared his throat, picked up the copper-skinned loudspeaker and shouted:
"Now, there is an announcement that the temporary bill for disaster period drafted by the Far East Governor's Office is as follows:
1. All young and strong people must obey the dispatch of officials of the Military Governor's Office and exchange their own food and clothing according to their distribution.
2. From now on, no matter whether the victims or ordinary people, it is strictly forbidden to sell women, children and children. Once this phenomenon occurs, it will be sentenced to death.
3. It is strictly forbidden to change children and kill wives to seek filial piety. Anyone who currently eats human flesh will be punished with the same punishment.
4. No rape, looting, beating, smashing, burning, and looting. Once it appears, it will never be tolerated and will be sentenced to death.
5. Litter is not allowed and excretes are everywhere. The water source you eat must be boiled. Drinking sewage is prohibited. Violators are sentenced to sentence ten to thirty military sticks. Those who fail to correct their mistakes will be punished for several months as punishment!
6. Take a shower and wash regularly, try your best to keep your body clean and tidy, and prevent the epidemic from rampant. Violators will be severely punished!
In short, please be sure to strictly abide by the six points mentioned above and work together to overcome this difficulty as soon as possible to restore the proper order.
From now on, the Military Governor's Office will officially take over the entire Liyuan Province and will not give up every Central Atomic people who abide by the law!"
Ma Guocheng felt that what he said was very passionate. Seeing the silent scene below the stage, his heart was filled with passion.
After hearing the above content, the victims and the people in the audience looked at each other, looking at the people around them. It took a while for them to recover and began to whisper.
"That's great. There are people from the government guarding us, so we don't have to worry about us being eaten..."
"What does the first meaning mean? Work-for-relief? What is that?"
"It seems that these people have a big background..."
Looking at the noise in the audience, Ma Guocheng took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said loudly: "Everyone, I forgot to tell you something, the county magistrate Cao Cong's military governor's office will provide you with food and supplies,
He was already on the spot by the military advisor and general yesterday. Now his head is hanging in the mouth of Caishi. You can go and observe it, and also warn those who have bad intentions.
Don’t be lucky. The Military Governor’s Office is different from other government agencies. They will firmly suppress illegal crimes and will never tolerate traitors!”
Cao Cong's death immediately caused an uproar. Who was that? The local king of Yuanyang Prefecture, now these soldiers from the Far East have only been here for a day to remove his head?
In addition to being shocked, the gentry who had ghosts in their hearts were worried and lamented that this life was not easy...
