The head of the Shangluo Wang family fainted when he heard his name, but Liu Ye ignored it and continued to read. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I read the twelve families in one breath, and these thirteen families are the local big families who resisted to the end this time, did not take Li Chao seriously, dared to openly bribe, refused to pay fines, and refused to hand over grain truthfully.

Just now, they thought that the law did not blame the public, but the Zhang family was unlucky, and they had relatives, but they were secretly relieved. Who knows, Li Chao was so ruthless, he sentenced Zhang Xuan to a decisive decision, and also exterminated the Zhang family.

And now even they don't let them go.

Some people fainted when they heard the name, some shouted that they were wronged, and some shouted disbelieving.

Some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some struggled to rush up.

Wang Xuance, Liu Renliang, Gao Kan, and Shangguan Yi, the four disciples of Li Chao, stopped in front with a row of Beiya forbidden troops, and none of them could cross over.

Zhang Chao looked at the group of people with cold eyes.

In Shangzhou, this place is called the king and the hegemon, and I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Li Chao gave them a chance again and again, but he thought that Li Chao was so foolish that he hit the knife headlong, and he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Liu Ye's family read out the charges and then listed the evidence.

The same is ironclad evidence.

"Do you have a defense against yourself?"

Liu Ye asked.

Some people beg for mercy and some cry out for injustice, but they just can't refute the ironclad evidence.

Disobeying the orders of the court and buying food is only a small part of their crimes, which are not serious, but the others can kill them.

"Now the official pronounces the verdict!"

Liu Ye began to pronounce the sentence, and like the Zhang family, the head of the family was beheaded, and then the house was raided, the men were filled with the army, and the women were exiled.

With the addition of the Zhang family, there are a total of thirteen families, and the thirteen big families in Shangzhou are now about to be uprooted.

The people below all sighed and marveled.

Lee Sang-kook is really ruthless.

Liu Ye reached for the sign.

Li Chao secretly glanced at Li Chengqian.

Cheng Qian nodded slightly, and then stood up.

"Wait!"

Li Chengqian stopped Liu Ye, Liu Ye was about to throw the chopping card in his hand, but he stopped slowly when he heard this.

"Lonely has something to say."

Li Chao pretended to bow his hand, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak." ”

"The laws of the imperial court pay attention to punishment before and after, but my Tang Dynasty has always been lenient. Punishment is not an end, but only a means, so that the people of the world can obey the law, and the legal system is to maintain the normal etiquette of the world. Today's events, Lone is very sad, Zhang Wang and other thirteen families are all Shangzhou townships, hundreds of years of local clans. should be the head of the people and the good party. But they forgot their duty, but bullied the people, and even dared to deceive the court. ”

"The thirteen families are guilty, but we can't beat everyone to death with a stick, and we also have to give them a chance to make amends. Li Xiang, Lone has a reluctant request, give the thirteen families a chance, a little punishment, but also give them a chance to repent, I believe that after this time, they will also remember the lesson and dare not do anything wrong! ”

Li Chengqian's voice was crisp, although he was young, he said something quite benevolent, which was simply compassionate and touching.

Li Chao and Liu Ye were selfless just now, and now the prince is benevolent and merciful.

Li Chao pretended to refuse, and insisted on uprooting all the thirteen families to set an example.

The prince begged.

One of the two sings white-faced, and the other red-faced.

This one was very unexpected, and everyone didn't expect that His Royal Highness the seven-year-old Crown Prince would be so benevolent and willing to speak for the thirteen families.

The heads of the thirteen families, at this time, I really feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really immense, like the compassionate Buddha.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, my royal family is willing to dedicate all the food in the family to the imperial court!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, my Zheng family is willing to dedicate all the grain to the imperial court!"

"The Liu family is willing to give half of their family wealth!"

In order to survive, in order to save the family, these local tyrants who have just been scared out of half their lives, at this time, in order to save their lives and protect their families, they are really willing to take out everything.

"Your Highness, the family has family rules, the country has national laws, how can the laws of the country be child's play?"

"Xiangguo, I know that the country has laws, but the country has the rule of law, and it also talks about human feelings. Although the thirteen families are guilty, they must also be given a chance to mend their ways. Don't give a chance, kill directly, this is against the practice of my Tang Dynasty ruling the world. ”

Li Chengqian stabbed sideways to save these thirteen families.

Xiangguo Li Chao and assassin Liu Ye have to be selfless and punish these people according to law.

The two sang and harmonized and argued.

Thirteen families were moved.

What a good prince, although he is young, he is kind.

Li Chao's master and apprentice acted there.

The thirteen families below are like auctions, one by one constantly shouting to offer their family wealth, at first they still offer grain, then they offer money, and then they offer land. From half of the dedication, to the end, almost half of the entire family property has been offered.

Li Chengqian winked at Li Chao and signaled if it was almost over.

Today's play is actually what Li Chao taught the prince yesterday. This time he brought the prince out, and Li Shimin said that he would let the prince take a look at the situation outside and strengthen some exercise. But for Li Chao, it is important to take this opportunity to make some name for the prince.

What name does the prince need?

Today's crown prince is only a little over seven years old, and he doesn't need to show too much fame, but the name of benevolence and filial piety are needed.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has dominated the world, when Cheng Qian can succeed to the throne, it will take thirty or forty years, and when it is such a long time, the prince's other talents can be slowly exercised, but a benevolent name can be had now.

Now that it's out, of course, you have to brush up your reputation.

Brush up on prestige, Li Chao is a veteran. In the past, Li Chaoke had brushed a lot of names, and he was quite familiar with these, and this time it was a good opportunity.

For the thirteen families in Shangzhou, what Li Chao really wants is only the Zhang family, and the other twelve, Li Chao doesn't mind letting them go for the time being, just punish them.

Li Chao's purpose is to get food, not to fight local tyrants and inferior gentry.

Just have a chicken to kill it, and you don't need to make a big cleansing.

Kill a chicken, clean it up, clean it up, and deal with the aftermath more troublesomely, the more you get, the greater the trouble.

Li Chao doesn't have that much time, Shangzhou is just his first stop, it's enough to clean up a Zhang family, and the others, if they are lucky, just use it to brush up on Chengqian's reputation.

Of course, even if it is used to brush up on prestige, it will not cheapen them.

You have to let them know that it's powerful, otherwise you will be unscrupulous in the future.

"Your Highness is merciful and admirable, then according to Your Highness's wishes, give them a chance."

"But the Zhang family must not be spared, the remaining twelve families, since they voluntarily donated half of their family wealth to atone for their sins, then only the head of the family will be held accountable, and the rest of the family can be spared."

After a long time, Li Chao finally compromised, but also made the final conditions.

Zhang Xuan and the other twelve family heads must be killed, the Zhang family must be exterminated, and the remaining twelve families can let their family go after taking out half of their property to atone for their crimes.

Cheng Qian looked compassionate and compassionate, "Xiangguo, can you lighten it a little more?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the minister's last attitude, and he will never back down!"

Li Chengqian pretended to be helpless, turned his head to the thirteen families below and said, "Everyone, can you accept Li Xiang's decision!" ”

When the old man of the Zhang family heard that Li Chao refused to let him and the Zhang family go, he vomited blood again and fainted.

The other twelve heads of the family looked like they were in mourning, but they were powerless to return to heaven, and their lives could not be saved, but half of the family wealth was exchanged for the preservation of the family, which was a blessing in misfortune.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for your kindness!" (To be continued.) )
