In late October, the rain finally stopped after several days.

In the city that Yuzhou finally conquered, the pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and after half a month, the officials from the Jinling court basically took over the entire Yuzhou.

As for how to take over Xindi, this small court has quite mature experience.

Taishou and the county order appointed, the first soldier inspected the county, and whenever there was a change in killing, the people who were originally in Yuzhou of the Thirteen Divisions immediately responded, led the way, and hunted and killed certain families.

However, in this case, there are still a few large households and families empty, and they have secretly fled with their families long before the Chu army conquered these cities.

When the house is thrown down, all the soft things that can be taken away are taken away, and some valuable things that cannot be taken away are destroyed.

There are even some dilapidated scenes in the empty mansions.

However, there are only a few families who dare to run away with their families, and hundreds of families are immediately wiped out.

Yuyang, the seat of Yuzhou, the palace of the king of Wei built by Xu Wenhui, became the palace of Wang Hongyi.

In a small hall, Wang Hongyi sat on the throne, only to see thousands of luck, flowing to Wang Hongyi, if it was only a cultivator, it would be entangled by luck, and at this time, standing on the top, it didn't seem big, but it shook slightly, and accepted half of the world's luck.

The torrent of luck flowed into the tripod like the sea, but it was transformed by the silk, and countless colors flickered in the tripod, turning into a trace of purple gas.

White, red, yellow, blue, purple, a total of five colors of canopy, hanging down countless silk threads, these silk threads seem to be weak, but in fact have the power of the 26 million people under the rule, if any ghosts dare to invade, they will be crushed in an instant.

It is said that south of the Yangtze River, after being counted again, there are 20 million people.

And there are 6 million in Yuzhou, and if you get Xuzhou, and 7 million to start, there will be 30 million people at that time.

At this moment, the ministers were making a statement.

"Your Majesty, all counties and counties in Yuzhou have appointed officials, and they are generally in place, and the grain to be collected is basically in place, but the grain harvested this autumn has been used. ”

"Your Majesty, if you want to be peaceful, you need three years of grain in the grain depot, once there is an incident, or a disaster year, one year of grain can help the people, one year of grain can be used for soldiers, and there is another year to prepare, and now the food on the account is barely enough, but once something happens, how can it be good?" said an official from the household department.

Wang Hongyi listened, his face was expressionless, he signaled to step back, and asked the next person to continue.

"Originally, the Wei army had been absorbed, and according to the rules, the officers went to the martial arts hall to study, and the soldiers were dispersed and entered the guard camp for training, and all those who had reached the age of thirty were disarmed and returned to the field...... The exact number has not yet been released, but the Ministry of War estimates that there are 30,000 troops to remain. ”

30,000 is not much, the entire Yuzhou, the garrisons and soldiers of the counties and counties, there should be so much, Wang Hongyi nodded, and said: "The position of the government is to breed prosperity and prosperity, and you have done a good job." ”

Zhang Youzhi came out at this time and said: "Your Majesty, according to your will, the army and the Thirteen Divisions have cleaned up the entire Yuzhou, there are sixty-one households and three thousand four hundred people, but seven of the first ones are missing and have not been tracked down!"

These three articles are, first of all, slandering the government and the state of Chu, and the government will immediately punish the crime, and secondly, the old subordinates of the king of Wei will be punished appropriately.

But on the third point, Wang Hongyi sternly stated: "Anyone who befriends with the Hu people and transports grain, grass and weapons to the Hu people, as soon as they are discovered, will immediately be connected and punished." ”

Wang Hongyi had already learned the news of the escape, and Wang Hongyi couldn't see any joy or anger on his face.

The escape of these families is not good news for Wang Hongyi.

Although Yuzhou has been completely in the hands of the Chu army, Wang Hongyi knows that the victory in the war is only an initial victory, and if he wants to gain a firm foothold, make the foundation stable, and make the situation no longer turbulent, people's livelihood is very important.

The number of families who fled was not large, but they held the commercial economy of grain and cloth in their hands, and this sudden withdrawal not only gave Wang Hongyi a dismount, but also dealt a heavy blow to Yuzhou's economy.

It's just that in just a few days, the price of food on the market has risen a lot, which is not only due to the impact of the withdrawal of the family, but also because the food and other things on the market have been secretly hoarded and the flow has decreased.

"It has been verified, there is no need for the Criminal Department to intervene, these sixty-one households will be wiped out immediately, and the stolen grain money and land will be returned to the state treasury.

"Your Majesty, the minister has found some clues, and I think the results will be available in the next two days. Zhang Youzhi said.

"Very good, the people take food as the sky, not only to clean up the grain merchants who dare to stockpile, but also to catch the person in charge behind the scenes, and punish them with the king's law. ”

As he spoke, a sound of footsteps came in from outside.

An official went up to the room.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news that the Zhang clan in the city secretly had a strange movement, and wanted to move the clan out of the city, but was stopped by the ministers and people, and the ministers have now detained it, and ordered his soldiers to trap the Li Mansion...... Please also ask the king to adjudicate!" After the official went up to the hall, he turned over and bowed down, and said respectfully to Wang Hongyi, who was on the throne.

"Zhang?" Wang Hongyi couldn't help but look at Zhang Youzhi on the side when he heard this.

Zhang Youzhi said: "Your Majesty, the Zhang family has a lot of suspicion in the matter of grain, and now if you want to move the clan out of the city, I am afraid that there is a ghost in your heart!"

"Yes, it's possible. Wang Hongyi no longer concealed the dissatisfaction in his heart, "patted" the handrail, stood up, and said: "Arrest immediately, torture him, and be sure to find out the main messenger!"

Yuzhou.Shangguan Mansion

The head of the Shangguan family's generation, Shangguan Hongzheng was holding a secret report, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In front of Shangguan Hong, there were two young men in their thirties, who were Shangguan Hong's two sons, Shangguan Cheng and Shangguan Yi.

The Shangguan family is a big family in Yuzhou, and as early as a few generations ago, it had a lot of influence in Yuzhou.

This generation, although due to Shangguan Hong's prudence, has not been brilliant, let alone produced many officials, but the Shangguan family can be entrenched in Yuzhou for hundreds of years, and even when the dynasty changes and the power changes, it can still be unaffected, which is enough to show Shangguan Hong's talent and the strength of the Shangguan family.

"Look at this secret report!" Shangguan Hong said, handing the secret report in his hand to the two people in front of him.

The first to take it was Shangguan Cheng.

Shangguan Cheng glanced at the secret report a few times, his face changed slightly, and the secret report was given to Shangguan Yi, and the two brothers read the secret report again, and couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Father, this head of the Zhang family is not such a stupid person, why did he end up like this?" Shangguan Cheng said with some puzzlement.

"Father, the Zhang family has always kept a low profile, and they shouldn't have done such things!" Shangguan Yi frowned and said, "Could it be that it was the strategy of the king of Chu......"

"No, can't!" Shangguan Hong shook his head and smiled, and said, "The King of Chu is in his current position and will not do these little things. ”

"And you don't know much about it on weekdays, don't look at this Zhang family's low-key behavior on weekdays, in fact, there is indeed a connection with the north in secret...... Being raided this time is not a wrongful act. Shangguan Hong said.

"Father, our Shangguan family has some in-law relationship with the Zhang family...... The king of Chu is investigated, and I am afraid that the Shangguan family will ......" Shangguan Cheng said with some concern.

"Hehe, it's okay!" and at this moment, Shangguan Cheng laughed softly.

"How many of the big families in Yuzhou do not have a relationship with each other? They are all hundreds of years old, such as adjacent trees, although they are not the same root, the branches and leaves are connected...... This matter is not serious, and the relationship between the Zhang family and my Shangguan family is also a matter of the previous generation......"

"Yuzhou wants to be pacified quickly, it is still indispensable to lack the cooperation of local big families and gentry, Shangguan's family takes this opportunity to show their attitude to the king of Chu, or there are more opportunities......" Shangguan Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "My Shangguan family is willing to sell grain at a low price to show its sincerity." ”

Shangguan Hong saw very clearly that the Hu people had been forced to join the seclusion, and Wang Hongyi had entered Yuzhou, and in order to quickly pacify, it was necessary to unite the local big families and gentry, at least part of them.

Of course, some big families are looking for death, and there is no way.

Now that a big family has fled, the Shangguan family has taken this opportunity to show their hearts, and they are willing to serve the king of Chu and will be rewarded.

After all, the hoarded grain has caused the price of grain in some cities in Yuzhou to rise sharply, and if the grain is transferred from abroad, it will be a little slow.

Not only that, but the interests of the big households are connected, and he has long had the intention to swallow the business of those few families, and at this time, he took the initiative to propose the parity of grain buying and selling, and responded to the king of Chu, maybe he could also take the opportunity to swallow those shops!

Shangguan Cheng Shangguan Yi has always been obedient to his father, and when he saw his father's decision, he didn't say anything more.

"The king of Chu wants to kill Tonghu's family!" Three days later, an order came up.

I saw that there were many soldiers and armor, and the ox carts of the criminal department kidnapped and detained a large number of people to the entrance of Xilai City.

In the autumn, when he was killing people, he killed thousands of people at once, which immediately caused a sensation in the whole city, and people from all over the world flocked to the court.

Because of the thousands of killings, the prison officials were very serious, not only with thousands of soldiers to maintain the law field, but also with a designated location to collect the corpses, and there were people from the thirteen divisions who secretly arranged surveillance.

The report said that "the prisoner has arrived", and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

I saw that all the men who were taken were men, and that the boys who were less than seven years old could be spared death, and at this time 1,200 of the 3,400 men were men, and they were all taken over.

Seeing that the prisoners arrived, the drums around them rose, and at this time, thousands of heads were crowded, and there was a buzzing sound of disturbance.

"The hour has come!" Because of the killing of a thousand people, the time was very urgent, and when the time came, the prison officer drank coldly.

Kill thousands of people, if you use a traditional executioner, you can't kill it in a day, then the king approves to use fire to kill.

"Ready!" the second team of 200 fire commanders came out, strode forward with fire commanders held high, and stopped in line on the flat ground, crossing, and fifty more were men who replenished guns.

"Lift people!"

A hundred men came up, some numb, some like dead dogs, their trousers wet, and others screaming and crying loudly.

"Ready!" the second platoon lowered its fire and aimed at the men.

"Put!"

The deafening sound sounded, and puffs of smoke rose up, and suddenly, tens of thousands of people immediately fell silent, staring straight ahead, only to see hundreds of people in front of them, and suddenly a large number of people fell, and only a few people were still standing.

"Replenish the gun!" The deafening voice sounded again, this time all pounced.

"Check!" At this time, someone brought a knife to inspect, and found that he was not dead, so he immediately repaired the knife.

"Mention people again!"

"Put!"

Successive orders, the sound of shooting came and went, the corpses in the field were piled up, blood and gunpowder smoke were filled, and at this time, all the people watching gradually fell silent, and many people vomited, all of them were colorless, and their feet were weak.

Every time a hundred people were shot and killed, tens of thousands of people around them trembled violently, and they were suddenly full of fear of Wang Hongyi's thunderous methods.

The dragon aura, which was invisible to the naked eye, diffused.

The essence of the dragon qi is majesty.
