Chapter 122 The King of Jinling is sadly closed
In the early morning, the rising sun rose, Jiankang bathed in the morning light, and the Vermilion Bird sailed north of the Vermilion Bird Imperial Road, and a high platform was set up in the middle of the road. Many Jiankang people with different faces surrounded by different thoughts.
On both sides of the imperial road, Zhou soldiers wearing black military uniforms lined up into human walls, keeping the road open. Carriages were slowly driving on the road, attracting the attention of many people.
Each carriage was loaded with many boxes, of different sizes and colors. After the carriage arrived at the edge of the platform, many Zhou soldiers in black uniforms surrounded him, lifted the wooden boxes on the carriage, and then lifted them onto the platform.
There were some wooden boxes piled up on the platform, some of which had been opened, and Zhou Bing took out all kinds of loan notes from the boxes and chanted the contents of the loan deed with a paper loudspeaker.
First, it is the name of the creditor, and then the name of the borrower. As for the principal, it is naturally not read.
After reading it three times, a military officer recorded the relevant content, then kneaded the deed into a ball and threw it into the fire lit below the stage.
The loans were transformed into balls of waste paper, then fell into the fire, turning into ashes and flying in the wind, and the shackles locked on countless families were also destroyed.
The onlookers listened with their ears, and when they heard the soldiers on the stage chanting their names, they watched the IOU thrown into the fire with their own eyes, many people were so excited that they burst into tears.
High interest loans with high interest rates are their lingering nightmare. Once they get involved, they will never be paid back in life. In the end, there is no other choice except for the whole family who are doing good deeds for their creditors.
And now, the nightmare finally woke up.
The person who woke them up from the nightmare was the rumored Beilu, who was like a wolf or a tiger, and the Zhou army who had just defeated the official army and controlled the entire city of Jiankang.
When the official army was defeated, everyone thought that Jiankang City would be bloody and bloody in the future. Unexpectedly, the other party summoned everyone today and really wanted to burn the loan contract in public.
At first, everyone was skeptical and was so excited that they saw the ones of borrowed contracts burned in public.
Because he was unable to repay the loan owed by usury, he had no choice but to sign a contract with his creditor, and was picked up one by one by one by Zhou Bing, read out the content, and then threw himself into the raging fire.
The rising flames seemed to spread among the people, and everyone's emotions were burning like a fire.
If you lose your loan and sell your own contract, you will feel like you are reborn.
Many people knelt on the spot, clasping their hands together to thank the Buddha for blessing, but more people were not thinking about "Thank you for blessing" but "Thank you for the one-legged bronze man".
Who is the one-legged bronze man? What kind of "ice king" in Zhou State? For the people of Jiankang, the name of the ice king is not as good as the "one-legged bronze man".
The one-legged bronze man who harmed Chen State was originally just "Yuwen Leng", but now it has become "Yuwen Bing". Now, it is this man who arrived in Jiankang with reinforcements, finally defeated the official army, captured civil and military officials, and controlled the entire city of Jiankang.
According to rumors, the one-legged bronze man who was addicted to human flesh and committed all kinds of evil arrived in Jiankang. Not only did he not eat a bite of human flesh, he also released many prisoners of Chen army and distributed food and cloth to help the people, which surprised many people.
And the one-legged bronze man's minions...the subordinates came to learn about the situation from door to door, and asked what "ustrious loans" they borrowed, saying that they wanted to "make the people's decision". Many people didn't believe it at that time. Now they are extremely excited to see the loan contracts disappearing into the raging fire.
The deeds were gone, and the deeds were gone. The clerks who sucked bones and marrow, and the evil servants who bullied others with their power, were also arrested by Zhou Bing, paraded in the street and then slashed with one knife.
Countless Jiankang people sang in their hearts the kindness of the one-legged bronze man. At first they thought they were a devil who had entered Jiankang, but they unexpectedly came a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.
At this moment, not only the location on the Zhuque Imperial Road, but also many places in the city, with Zhou soldiers gathering people, burning and borrowing contracts in public, selling their contracts, and countless Jiankang people were so grateful that they burst into tears.
"Everyone listen to me, listen to me!"
On the high platform, there were military officials shouting loudly, and the onlookers listened with their ears.
"The heavenly soldiers pacified Jiankang, not to harm everyone, but to let everyone have a bite of food and a piece of clothing to keep the cold, to let everyone have a grievance and a place to exert their grievances, to let everyone live a safe and secure life!"
Speaking of this, the military officer opened the notice and read it loudly:
"The king has an order! From now on, all the untouchables, miscellaneous households and military households in Jiankang City will be released!"
"The official slaves serve the heavenly soldiers as they wish, and they will be good at giving up!"
Cheers echoed like a tide, echoing over Jiankang City. After many twists, they turned to Taicheng, the palace, and the Taiji Hall.
Outside the Tai Chi Hall are countless Zhou soldiers wearing hard and holding sharp edges. In the Tai Chi Hall, in addition to the soldiers wearing hard and holding sharp edges, there are also civil and military officials from the Chen State.
These captured civil and military officials looked different when they heard the movements from outside the hall. Some were silent, some sighed, some looked around, and some looked down at their toes.
Chen Shuying, the king of Yuzhang, stood at the jade stairs, and since he was defeated and captured, he was still in a daze.
The day before yesterday, he was defeated for no reason. The Zhou cavalry that emerged from somewhere not only beat his soldiers to fleeing, but also took advantage of the situation to sweep the east of the city and stewed a spoonful of civil and military officials gathered in Qingxi.
He didn't expect that he was defeated so poorly that he not only failed to recover Taicheng, but also could not even defend half of Jiankang. The huge blow made Chen Shuying depressed.
"The king is here!"
A loud shout attracted everyone in the hall to look in the sound, and saw several figures appearing at the gate of the hall. The leader walked in wearing armor and pressed his sword with his hands.
This person looks ordinary and is less than thirty years old. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary general. However, everyone knows that this person's identity is extraordinary.
Yuwen Wen walked slowly, looking at the imperial throne on the jade steps ahead, and at that moment he was a little dazed.
I'm here, I see it!
The capital of the Six Dynasties, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the chaotic times of the three hundred years are about to disappear!
"Wang Binlou's boat goes down to Yizhou..."
Yu Wen Wen, who was climbing the stairs, suddenly began to recite the Tang poem "Nostalgia in Xisai Mountain". Of course, this poem was impossible for this era to appear. The civil and military officials of Chen State were stunned when they heard it.
"The King of Jinling's aura is sad..."
Yuwen Wen continued to climb up the steps, his steps were not at all confusing. When the civil and military officials of Chen State heard him "writing poems" while walking, they couldn't help but be surprised: I was improvising poems while walking?
"The Qianxun Iron Lock sinks to the bottom of the river..."
"A piece of stone descending from a banner."
After reading the fourth line, Yuwen Wen happened to come to the imperial throne. He turned around and stood beside the imperial throne, looking at a group of civil and military officials in Chen State under the steps, and looking at the dusty Chen Shuying.
"I, the Great Zhou royal family, King Wen of Bin, will be ordered by the emperor to march south to pacify Jiangnan!"
His eyes swept over the civil and military officials of Chen Guo, and no one dared to look at him. After the opening remarks were finished, Yuwen Wen directly entered the topic:
Chapter completed!
