Yang Wenguang walked out of the city, saw the ceremony, saw many Tibetan prisoners in the army, and hurriedly asked: "Jingluo, these people are"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Last night we stayed under the green mound, and they attacked us and captured some prisoners. ”

Yang Wenguang said: "How can this be the case! Dare to attack Jinglu, do these people want to rebel! ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's reversed now!" Zhizhou, this matter is under your rule, let's ask together. ”

Yang Wenguang crossed his hands and entered the city with Du Zhongxiao and Shisanlang. In addition to his military and military positions, he also serves as the governor of Fengzhou, and he has a military and political break. The occupation was in a hurry, and now all the prefectures, armies, and counties are all concurrently served by officers in the army led by Du Zhongxiao.

When they arrived at the Yamen and rested for a while, Du Zhongxiao and Yang Wenguang interrogated the captured prisoners. The men did not hide it and soon got a confession. Including Tuoba Dog, these people are from all walks of life in the neighborhood. The composition is very complex, including the Dangxiang, the Turks, the Tuyuhun, and even a Tatar Fanluo.

The twenty-five women were bought by a few people who pooled their money and wanted to sell them to the Tatars in the north of Fengzhou, and they belonged to the Khitan Rebellion Ridge Jiedu Envoy. Du Zhongxiao issued several proclamations prohibiting the sale of Han Chinese, and informed the various Tibetan tribes, of course they knew, but it was not the same thing. When it snowed, the women fled unprepared by the guards and chased them to Aotsuka. Even if they knew that Du Zhongxiao was chasing after him, they still didn't care.

Looking at the confession, Yang Wenguang didn't speak for a long time. After a long while, he said: "After a while, they trafficked people and attacked officials and soldiers, so they naturally deserved death. However, there are eight people involved in this matter, and most of them are near Daqing Mountain, and some are still in the mountains. If they are arrested, half of the Fanluo under the rule of Fengzhou will be implicated! ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "What, can't your soldiers and horses beat them?" If you can't beat it, I'll send troops again! ”

Yang Wenguang hurriedly crossed his hands and said: "Go back to the scriptures, you can beat it!" The subordinates ordered the leaders of the various tribes to come to Fengzhou and investigate thoroughly! ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded and said, "It's not just that. We are officials of the imperial court, and we judge cases according to law, not to be angry with them, let alone to make an example of chickens and monkeys! It would be a mistake to think so! With this kind of means, you can't get on the table, how will you govern the place in the future? Remember, judging the case according to the law, the beheading that should be beheaded, and the exile that should be exiled, must be interrogated clearly, and the canonical punishment must be clarified! If you arrest other people and ask for confessions, you may also be implicated in other people. If you want to make a heart, that is, all the fans, all the people, all the people involved, then all of them will be punished according to the law! ”

Yang Wenguang took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Xiaguan understands!" After a little explanation, we must do it well! ”

After speaking, he turned around and went out of the room, recruited his own soldiers, and informed the people involved in the case separately, and his leader immediately went to Fengzhou City. If the time limit expires and he does not come, his leader will be a thousand miles away, and his sons will take over.

After sitting for a while, Du Zhongxiao only felt physically and mentally exhausted. When he returned to the room, he ordered a hot pot to be served, and the mutton was soaked, and he drank wine alone.

From the carelessness at the beginning, to the surprise at the back, to the anger of the thunder, to the final numbness, in the past month, Du Zhongxiao's mood has experienced ups and downs. When he first came to Hequ Road, Du Zhongxiao was full of spirits and was determined to make better results than when he was on Jingxi Road. As a result, he encountered such a case, which made Du Zhongxiao calm down.

This is not the mainland, and the Han people do not make up the majority, and they lack a ruling base. It's hard to hear, the Khitans are gone, and the Song army is coming, and they don't want to co-govern with the local tribes like the Khitans, so they will be five steps away from the enemy. Thinking of harmony and harmony, he took over the place, and organized the people under his rule into households, thinking too naïve.

How long has it been here? The Qin and Han dynasties drove the Xiongnu to the north and immigrated to Tunbian more than a thousand years ago. By the end of the Han Dynasty, nomads entered and lived together with the Han people. The Central Plains is sinking, and the clothes are in the south, and it has become the territory of the nomads, and the Han people are very rare. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, they migrated again, and the Middle Tang Dynasty moved the Hu people in again, and this area became a place for the Hu people to be settled, and the Han and Hu lived together again. In the late Tang Dynasty, the Han people either fled or died, and the vast majority of the rest were Hu people in the form of Fanluo. The Han people who appeared in this area were either moved by the Khitan forces, or Han slaves captured by various tribes. For hundreds of years, the Han people have been slaves here, why did the Song army reverse the status of the Fan people as soon as they came?

A few notices can change everything? How easy is it to change the foundation of society without killing a river of blood? The so-called shocking case is in Du Zhongxiao's eyes. This kind of thing has been done for generations, and it is a very common thing.

The Song army was not an invader, and the tribes were not aborigines. If this is the land of Fanluo, even if a big case occurs, Du Zhongxiao's methods will be much gentler. Of course, there are other people's rules on other people's territory, and it is normal to ask for a minimum of respect. But this is not, the aborigines here are Han Chinese, and the Xiongnu who fought for this place with the Han Dynasty have long since disappeared.

Most of the rebels were not invaders, but they lost their homes and were relocated here by the Tang Dynasty. The most difficult time was when the Han dynasty accepted them, let them rebuild their homes, and turned their heads, killing or driving the Han people, and plundering the rest into slavery.

Anti-guest-oriented, with Han people as slaves, and dare to buy and sell openly, if the king master comes, he will not stop, then he must have the consciousness of being killed.

After drinking wine for a while and eating some meat, Du Zhongxiao leaned on the bed and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Yang Wenguang knocked on the door. Du Zhongxiao woke up in a daze and opened the door.

Yang Wenguang crossed his hands: "Report the scriptures, there are a total of eight families involved, and six of the leaders have arrived. The remaining two families who have not yet arrived, their subordinates have sent soldiers to capture their leaders, and they are a thousand miles away, and their children are temporarily taken over and come to Fengzhou. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, in extraordinary times, you should use thunder means!" Without thunder means, how to show the heart of the Bodhisattva! ”

After speaking, he went back to the room to tidy up a little, and went to the main hall of the yamen with Yang Wenguang.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao coming in, the leaders of the Fan Luo hurriedly saluted.

Du Zhongxiao sat down behind the case, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "This time I summoned you to Ping, two things. The first thing is that last night I stayed under the green mound outside the city, and hundreds of soldiers and horses took advantage of the night to sneak attack me. The one who died last night is still near Qingzuka, and you sent someone to follow Yang Zhizhou to identify the bodies of each family. and he that lived, and took it into the yamen. I have already asked for a confession, how many families and how many people came out of last night's incident, everything is clear! Yang Zhizhou will send soldiers to return to Fanluo with you and read out the proclamation of the Yamen. Read it yourself, read it wrong, or hide it, and the soldiers come back to report to the yamen, so don't blame the court. Whoever misreports or omits to read it, the leader will go a thousand miles away and go to the prison camp, and he will not be forgiven or returned! ”

When a leader heard this, he stepped forward and said urgently: "Xianggong, I can't read Chinese characters, how can I read the yamen notice?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Then you can find someone who can read Chinese characters and teach it to you." You found the people yourself, don't complain if you make a mistake! In the future, all the military and civilian affairs of Fengzhou will be decided by the Fengzhou Yamen, and they will be the leaders who don't know Chinese characters! ”

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao's voice was violent, the six leaders trembled and didn't dare to speak anymore. This is the first time they have seen officials so harsh, and everyone has different thoughts. Even if he was not convinced, he just wanted to go back quickly, and as soon as he arrived, Du Zhongxiao would have nothing to do with them.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Du Zhongxiao said again: "The content of the proclamation, tell you." In addition to the deceased and the culprits who were caught, more than 100 people who attacked me last night fled back. Those who surrender themselves will be exempted from the death penalty, otherwise they will be executed! There are those who hid and those who helped the perpetrators to escape, the same crime! Xu Ren first sue. If there is a person who hides it, or who orders someone to replace it, he will be rewarded with three times to the news yamen, and if the person is identified, he will be rewarded with ten times. All the money was given in cash, and the yamen helped him hide his name, and the yamen was willing to help him move to another place, and the official gave him land and furniture. ”

Hearing this, the six leaders looked at each other and cried out together in their hearts.

Xu Ren's first accusation is a big killer. And it can be reported anonymously, with a sword hanging over each person's head. Not only those who have committed crimes, but also those who have not committed crimes, may also be falsely accused. Du Zhongxiao didn't say that he was sitting back, which means that false accusations were actually allowed.

Whistleblowing is not encouraged, and is generally not allowed because it is officially considered to be leading others to commit adultery, and the people are greedy for money and lose their simplicity. But there are also some crimes that are officially allowed to be prosecuted, all of which are felonies.

Du Zhongxiao's attitude is very clear, don't think about leaving any of them. If one escapes, the whole tribe will have to be skinned. If they have the ability, then the whole tribe will flee, and the Song army will not be able to catch up, so it will be their fate.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Du Zhongxiao said again: "There is one more thing." More than a month ago, the yamen had unveiled that it was forbidden to plunder people as slaves. Especially for the Han people, if there are those who dare to take plunderers and sell them privately, the principal will be beheaded, and the followers will flow. The list is there, and no one listens to it. When I was in Dongshengzhou, I chased all the way here because of a big case of selling Han women. Just last night, a gang of gangsters forced the last twenty or so women to death! Some of the thieves were killed, some were captured, and some fled. When the chiefs went home, and knew that there had been a crime in their headquarters, they sent them to the yamen. If not, don't report it! Those who participate in this matter will surrender themselves to the yamen, and they can be reduced to the second degree, otherwise they will be severely punished! Also, if there are Han slaves and maids in your various departments, send them to the yamen as soon as possible, and you will not be blamed for the past! Otherwise, it will be punished as a slave! ”

One of the leaders said: "This and this, Xianggong, our Fan people have such customs, slaves and maids are property"

Du Zhongxiao looked at him and said, "But the laws of the court don't allow it." Why, are your customs even greater than those of the imperial court?! To be honest, I also once wanted the government to pay for the return of the Han people. However, there are few people who send it to the yamen to get ransom, and there are many people who buy and sell privately! Not only that, but after the yamen has been unveiled everywhere, there are still a large number of Han women who have been privately trafficked by you, killing hundreds of people! If you don't want this money, then don't ask for it, who dares to sell it privately and hide Han slaves and maids, the light ones will flow, and the heavy ones will be beheaded! In the same way, the first person is allowed to sue the first person, and the reward for the first complaint is paid to the prisoner's property. The richer the prisoner, the more the reward for the first accuser, so let's set 30% of his family property as the reward. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and their faces were as dead as ashes. Using family wealth as a reward and encouraging whistleblowers is to do things absolutely well.

Du Zhongxiao didn't want to do things absolutely. Entering the Hequ Road, he ordered the garrisons in various places not to interfere in local affairs as much as possible, except for the Han self-cultivated farmers, and a small number of Renfan self-cultivated farmers, and the rest were self-governing by Fanluo. It's a pity that he is kind and angry, and he is regarded as weak and can be bullied, so forget it.
