Chapter 82 Public Trial
Xunzhou Prefecture City has been cleared into many prisons.
The cloth merchant Li Anping was also walking around in great anger and anxiety, because just where his eyes were, the wealthy merchants who were locked up like him were gradually decreasing and disappearing, and it was obvious that they had made compromises and gave up;
Others, like dead dogs, were punished and dragged out after being punished, but they were usually the result and ending of the reputation of being a little unkind or accused of being a traitor who was a little unkind or a lot of evil deeds.
Obviously, these thieves first sealed their respective homes, and then pulled them out and concentrated them for detention in the name of colluding with officials and dogs to resist the rebels, as well as sheltering the remnants of the Turkish Group, which was completely prepared for a long time, rather than just taking out money and grain.
Li Ping'an also heard something about these crimes that the thieves were in charge of, it is said that many of the other parties were their servants and servants, and under the instigation and coercion of the thieves, they were attacked and exposed one by one. Only these unrestrained mud legs can do such things that are inverted and unfair.
The thieves even encouraged them, those who were imprisoned, to complain to each other in exchange for relatively lenient conditions. So some people who had hatred and had a grudge began to come in and take care of each other in various unlucky ways, and then revealed their true feelings to each other and let the thieves who supervised them watch a lot of jokes.
However, Li Anping was somewhat grateful that he lived in an amateur businessman for many years and had limited involvement with the leading figures in the local area. At most, he was assigned money and food to defend the city. On weekdays, he only beat and scolded the servants at home, but did not lose any life or serious disability, and then drove him out to fend for himself;
So the thieves did not directly torture or torture him, but listed his property in the city one by one, and asked him how much wealth he could take to serve and help these rebels to "make up for the average" cause of "normality"; but if he could not satisfy the other party, he could only stay hungry and not sleep slowly and struggle; then he dragged him out from time to time, looked at the rich and officials as a mate, and recognized the numerous crimes that had been accumulated over the years and perhaps even they had forgotten.
At this point, he felt that he could not hold on. Although after just a few days, he had finally developed a rich waist, but his rich cheeks had shrunk a lot, and his rich cheeks were deeply sunk. The long torment of fear and monotony and silence also made him miss the comfortable bed collapse and casually thrown away food at home, as well as the soft heart of the young maid. Then he finally decided to secretly hide it from himself and take out another five hundred pieces of silk to serve the other party, so that he might be able to exchange for a meal with cold and greasy chicken.
.........
On the large school field in front of the State Office, there were also lively scenes of lively scenes; under the order maintained by the rebel soldiers holding swords and guns, countless onlookers were like crowds of people, and the large platform where the high-level fake copies of the State Office were used to make a list of announcements was surrounded by the water, and from time to time, bursts of roars and angrily shouts broke out.
As the actual planner and behind-the-scenes promoter, Zhou Huaian also stood on the drum tower at the commanding height of the state yamen, setting up a table of wine and food with a group of rebel leaders, taking this scene and making the taste and background of wine.
Unlike the Changle County, which had a small population before, Xunzhou Prefecture City has a total of 30,000 to 40,000 permanent residents in terms of household registration, and this is the main family member of each household on the book, not including the elderly and underage children, but also the hidden population such as slaves attached to the names of wealthy families, wealthy families, officials and gentry. It can be said that the difficulty and complexity of control and governance are more than several times more than before.
In addition, after the city was broken, the soldiers were in chaos and panic, in addition to the most basic limited order on the streets, other public operations and social functions were almost paralyzed. There were street markets everywhere and shops were closed, and most residents were closed and did not dare to enter and exit. All aspects were complicated to deal with, which made him, a modern man who claimed to have a long history of experience and lessons, scratch his head and panic for a while before he could find the entry point to start processing.
Fortunately, with the help of this unknown possession system, he will not be in a hurry immediately.
If they follow the rebel army's traditions and style of liquidity in the past, they are just short-term passers-by, so they can only ensure that as many food, grass, goods and soldiers as possible can be included in the shortest time to expand and strengthen their own team. Therefore, in terms of methods and means, there is no need to pay special attention to it. Just take photos of people and go out to the streets to seek out the most luxurious and richest families to requisition or to apply for a crime of assisting the official dog, and search the house directly.
But this time, Wang Pan obviously had no other thoughts, and planned to repair and replenish the territory of Xunzhou for a while to digest and absorb the power of the Nufeng Camp during this period. So Zhou Huaian, who once boasted about Haikou and prevented the soldiers from further plundering, had to hand over a satisfactory answer.
Torturing and forcing him to find out his hidden property is just the beginning of the first step.
Therefore, what he next was to break the order and class of the old ranks and inferiors in the city through this public trial, and put those upper-class existences that were originally above the top in the anger formed by the crowd; and step by step to pull out their luxurious and luxurious life, creating a calm, decent and noble and natural fig leaf, exposing the fragility and powerlessness that are the same as ordinary people, and even the ugly appearance that is unbearable.
This is also a basic beginning and gradual process that destroys the facts and mental authority created and accumulated by them for generations, using the network of money and power, and the minions who make friends with tigers. Although, it was also the first time that he had been rushing to do such a thing.
Fortunately, this hastily made simple public trial and execution conference was relatively successful, although there were still many problems and errors; it also lost the attitude of the rebel soldiers and rude methods during the execution process, which scared many people and had some counterproductive effects. Moreover, the corresponding personnel on the stage stuttered and read the crime several times when they were nervous.
But just by his arrangements for some people who were in the crowd, and after he was responsible for making excuses and complaining, the twenty or so powerful people who retreated as targets and the heads of the official family were almost flooded by various stones and garbage and rotten vegetables flying all over the sky. So in the end, the sergeant who stood on the side with a particularly loud voice had concluded many crimes over and over again, and the slashing of them who were dying or surviving was a bit of relief.
After watching those nobles and officials who were once arrogant and were humiliated without any image, and died miserably on the stage, the atmosphere of the public was ignited and reached one climax after another; almost all of them roared, cursed, and despised under the atmosphere, as if they had forgotten at this moment these unattainable people and their identity background they represented, and how awe and fear were extremely daunting in their daily lives.
Then, after their dog legs and accomplices were taken out and tied to the stake, they became even more unbearable. There were feces, foul smells, and there were also crying and crying. However, they did not die so happily, but let those victims who had been poisoned and harmed by them step forward one by one, holding scissors, drills, sickles and other things. Those who complained and avenged revenge took turns to kill them slowly on the spot in the wailing sounds.
After half a tour of the wine, Zhou Huaian saw Wang Pan on the stage with a lustful and excited face. It seemed that he was so proud of justice and verdict in public. These wealthy people and officials were very enjoyable and happy. He was wearing a cloak and surrounded by armored soldiers, and began to announce something loudly; then he picked up one basket after another and spread it to the crowd one by one.
Then all the gates of the state yamen were opened, and there were trucks of cloth and grain bags, as well as various objects that were confiscated from the homes of those powerful and powerful gentry, and dumped cars under the table. This was the stimulation of the buying of real interests after the incitement of the group and the presentation of the statement;
Although there are dozens of copper coins that I have picked, it is only a small part of the overall value obtained by the city. The cloth, grain, households, etc. are also copied from these houses and industries, and a small part is the most heavy and worthless. And the real ambush and care are placed on these household items that obviously have personal style and imprints.
Of course, although this was also Zhou Huaian's suggestion and planning, he was completely uninterested in showing up and participating in this kind of scene that attracted people's hearts.
"Are they not afraid of...they will retaliate and settle accounts afterwards?"
At this time, Lao Guan, who was already a coach, couldn't help but ask a question;
Because according to his memory, when the Rebels moved to the north, they also had large and large households among the people, and used scattered grain and wealth to poor people. However, it seemed that they did not have the effect of being more deeply rooted in the hearts and impressing the people this time, but instead affected those people who had received the benefits of the Rebels.
"Of course I'm afraid, so we have to push it."
Zhou Huaian did not care about it.
"As the saying goes, it depends on our follow-up methods;"
"Anyway, as long as the roots are dug up, the dead will not be able to make a comeback and do something else."
"Thinking about the safety of the incident in the future, there will naturally be someone who needs to follow us,"
"If you don't want to go with us, you have to worry about the government's settlement after returning, and they often have no choice."
"In addition, we can also use the means of casting a letter of fame..."
"After a good understanding and disposal, what are the ones who are sincerely surrendered to the rebel army, and what are the ones who are swaying and perverted..."
Zhou Huaian wrote down some ideas and plans for them.
"Sure enough, people who read a lot are all extraordinary and full of ideas and thoughts."
At this moment, among the rebel leaders and generals beside them, what they felt was a deep awe mixed with respect and expressions of admiration.
