Chapter 258: Return the land and repay the money
Late at night, in Xiaopei City, a large number of strangers broke in.
After seeing these people come in, those Xiaopei people who were originally celebrating with their crowns all became nervous at this time.
After all, Mi En's incident last night was still vivid, and when he saw such a thing at this time, he naturally instinctively began to worry.
Just when these people were frightened, whether these people were coming badly, they immediately saw their new county commander on the street with the soldiers and horses around him.
In the face of these five or six hundred strangers, the Cao County Commander had no fear, and directly asked about the household registration and origin of this group of people.
After hearing that this group of people came to recruit soldiers, this Xiaopei people finally relieved their hearts.
With such a group of people joining Cao Xianling's command, his momentum will be even greater, and his people will be more assured.
Since, in just one night's work, Cao Ang has gone from having nothing when he first came to Xiaopei, and at this time he has recruited nearly a thousand soldiers.
Except for the three hundred heroes of Liujiazhai, after all of them were recruited by Cao Angxiao with righteousness, this group of Baiyue mountain people also followed Cao Ang's side.
Although they are all soldiers recruited by the system, these Baiyue mountain people are different from the dead soldiers who were drawn by the system before, these Baiyue mountain people are the same as ordinary soldiers, and they can be trained.
As long as these people are trained well, coupled with their most important loyalty, Cao Ang believes that he will be able to shine in this troubled world!
The next day, outside the city of Xiaopei.
Pei River, this is the moat of Xiaopei City, only in spring on weekdays, there will be many literati and ladies to come out to step on spring.
But in this place, there are a lot of people.
In addition to these people, there were hundreds of soldiers dressed differently, but all of them extremely dignified, and these soldiers formed a large circle in which many prisoners who looked rather wealthy were being held.
Among these prisoners, the most middle and most embarrassed prisoner is Mi En, who has exploited the people of Xiaopei for a long time.
At this time, there were already a lot of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves on this Mi En's body, and it was obvious that he had also suffered a lot of humiliation in the distance from Xiaopei to here before.
It's just that such humiliation, in Cao Ang's eyes, is just an appetizer.
At this time, Cao Ang, under the escort of Cao Anmin and his party, walked out with a grand appearance, which immediately aroused the warm welcome of many people.
The reason why these people are so enthusiastic about Cao Ang is not only that Cao Ang helped them get rid of this evil businessman who oppressed and exploited him, but more importantly, Cao Ang had promised that the money that Mi En had annexed and exploited the people before would be returned!
Now is not only the time to execute Mi En, but also the time for Cao Ang to count Mi En's family wealth and return the money he exploited the people.
That's why so many people gathered here and gave Cao Ang such a warm welcome.
In addition to these Baixi, which is closely related to this matter, those scholars who had come to Xiaopei because of Cao Ang's name before, but learned that Cao Ang was a hesitant scholar after breaking off the relationship with Cao Cao, also came one after another at this time, intending to see Cao Ang's demeanor.
Under the watchful eyes of all the people, although Cao Ang said that he was lofty, he did not mean to be high.
Along the way, he saw that many people poisoned him very much, and even made a big gift, he would also come forward to stop it, and for some older people, he would return the favor.
Whether he meant it or was coy, many literati nodded their heads in such a scene!
"Gongzi Cao is so polite and virtuous, let me wait to look at it differently!"
In the crowd, some people let out a sigh, and after such a sigh was issued, some people immediately echoed it.
"This is nature, a person who can write such poems as Zhou Gong Tufu and the world is not a person who loves the virtuous!"
Nothing can be done overnight, Cao Ang was able to make these people warmly welcome and make these literati recognize, relying on Mi En's years of wealth and unkindness, and relying on the poems he wrote before.
Under the escort of Cao Anmin, Cao Ang hurriedly came to the edge of the Pei River, and at this time he slowly raised his hands.
Under his signal, the people who were originally excited and lively also became quiet at this time.
And after Cao Ang quieted down, he also spoke quietly at this time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must already know what this official intends to do today, since this is what the people want to do, how can this official break his word!"
After saying such words, Cao Ang's face immediately showed a bit of solemnity, and then he shouted loudly.
"Bring over the confiscated money in Mi'en Mansion!"
After the order was given, under the surprised eyes of many people, I only saw a dozen board carts slowly pushed over, and the board carts were full of things, but at this time they were covered by black cloth, and the others did not know what they were.
After all the dozen or so board cars were in place, Cao Ang also nodded at Cao Anmin.
After Cao Anmin saw such an instruction, he immediately raised his hand, and under his order, the black cloth on these carts was lifted at the same time.
All of a sudden, there were a lot of shouts, and it turned out that on top of these board cars, they were actually filled with dense five baht!
After seeing these coins, many people fell into a frenzy, knowing that what Cao Ang said was not deceiving, he really planned to return the land and distribute the money exploited by Mi En!
After all the five-baht coins in these dozen cars were opened, Xiao Pei's main book, which was newly canonized by Cao Angxin on the side, also took out a list at this time, and after clearing his throat, he spoke loudly.
"Xiao Pei is extremely rich and graceful, and for many years he has been rich and unkind, and has exploited many people, resulting in many people being annexed to their land, and they can only become homeless thieves."
"Today, Cao Ang and Cao Zixuan succeeded as the commander of Xiaopei County, captured more than 200 members of Mi En's family, asked the people to be a witness on the Pei River, and distributed the money that Mi En exploited the people!"
After such words were spoken, the master book stopped talking nonsense, and directly shouted aloud according to the contents of the list.
"Li Zhang's family in the south of the city, two years ago, was bullied by Mi En and annexed three horses of cloth, which were exchanged for five baht and two thousand yuan."
"The Wang clan in the north of the city, half an acre of land was annexed by Mi En two years ago, and now the land is returned plus half a grain harvest."
Because of Cao Ang's retreat to repay the money, the entire Peihe people fell into excitement again for a while.
