Chapter 53, Thief Chaos

At about time, the army led by Zhao Meng first broke through the south gate and captured thousands of soldiers inside. As soon as the south gate was broken, the city panicked, and then the east gate attacked by Ma Yuan was also broken, and the army entered the city. Ximen's army, which learned the news, knew that resistance was useless, and directly opened Ximen to let Zu Zhao's army enter.

The army came together and entered the government office, but Zhao Ci and the bodyguards were not seen. It turned out that before Zhao Ci broke through the south gate, he led Wang Qing, Xu Ping's second general and more than 1,000 people of the bodyguards to escape from the north gate and looked at the mountains in the north. However, as soon as he came to the suburbs, the drums in front of him shocked the sky and killed a team. It turned out that Zu Zhao personally led a large army to ambushed here.

"Zhao Ci, I've been waiting for you again for a long time. Where do you want to escape?" Zu Zhao asked quietly.

Seeing Zu Zhao, Zhao Ci almost fell off the horse. He scolded for a while and ordered people to break out. The army rushed left and right and couldn't get out. Wang Qing and Xu Ping died in the breakthrough. In the end, all Zhao Ci's subordinates were annihilated and Zhao Ci was captured alive.

Z Zhao took Zhao Ci into Xinchang City, and the people welcomed him with a single pulp. Zu Zhao was angry when he heard that Zhao Ci was wantonly hurting the people here. Originally, he had captured Zhao Ci to escort him to the court, but he finally decided to cut off Zhao Ci here, which was a little comfort to the people.

Zhao Ci knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he was willing to follow Zu Zhao to fight the world. In the future, he would follow his orders.

Zu Zhao sneered and said, "I don't need you, an unscrupulous and ruthless person like me. You must die today."

When Zhao Ci heard this, his face was ashes and collapsed to the ground. He hugged Zhao Meng's thigh and said that he had worked together before and asked Zhao Meng to help plead for mercy. However, Zhao Meng was unmoved, just coldly and didn't say a word. Seeing that Zhao Meng did not help him plead for mercy, Zhao Ci cursed, saying that he was also a ruthless person and did not miss the past at all. Why did Zu Zhao keep people like Zhao Meng by his side? He also said that Zhao Meng surrendered when he saw the enemy. In the future, he would definitely turn to the enemy and help the enemy fight against Zu Zhaojun.

Zuzu Zhao sneered and said, "You can't use such an imbecile means to alienate us. If you are righteous, why do you force Ji Ling away? If you had listened to Ji Ling's plan, our army would have been defeated long ago. Today, everything is self-inflict and can't be blamed. Be reincarnated as a good person in the afterlife. Oh no, you must be a reincarnated animal in the afterlife, because you have done too much evil in this life. After N life, you can be a human being.

Everyone couldn't help looking at each other and didn't quite understand Zu Zhao's words, but they were embarrassed to ask Zu Zhao what he meant in a single scene. Zhao Ci also heard it in the clouds, but he still understood that he must have been reincarnated in the afterlife.

Zhou ordered Zhao to push Zhao Ci out, tour the street for three days, and then behead him to show it to the public. People gathered around the streets and kept throwing stones, sticks and mud and eggs at Zhao Ci. Poor wine and delicious food in the past, beautiful women sleeping with, and a generation of thieves who cheated day and night are now in this end.

After killing Zhao Ci, Zu Zhao reported to the court that Zhao Ci's rebellion had been calmed. He did not want any additional titles or gold and silver rewards. He only asked the emperor to be exempted from the tax burden of Liaodong County when the palace was built this time, so that the people could have a chance to breathe.

When the emperor heard that Zu Zhao did not need to be rewarded, he was very happy and agreed to Zu Zhao's request to be exempted from tax for one year in the whole county of Liaodong. Zu Zhao told the news to the whole county in Liaodong. When the people learned that they didn't need to go to anyone, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night. They all boasted Zu Zhao and thanked the emperor for his kindness. Since then, the people of Liaodong County have worked happily, and their gains belong to themselves, which is their greatest motivation.

In a month's shortfall, Zu Zhao calmed Zhao Ci's rebellion. Hearing this, other princes and generals sighed that Zu Zhao's ability was good, and Zu Zhao pushed the important credit to Huangfu Song in order to avoid the edge, saying that if he hadn't sent troops to attack Zhao Ci's rear, he would not have been so smooth.

Seeing that Zu Zhao was so righteous, Huangfu Song reported to the court and directly let Zu Zhao be the governor of Liaodong County. Anyway, now they also have the order. Unfortunately, Huangfu Song's memorial was stopped by Song Dian. He resented Zu Zhao for not allowing the court to levy taxes on Liaodong, which destroyed an important channel of corruption for him, so he held a grudge and suppressed the memorial chapter. Later, the matter ended. Although Zu Zhao does not have the name of Taishou, he has the truth of Taishou and is happy to be free. Naturally, these are later words.

It is said that Zu Zhao destroyed Zhao Ci and saw the serious damage in Xinchang County, and the most important sowing time was delayed. Zu Zhao hereby stated to the people that he would try his best to draw materials from other counties to help the people tide over the difficulties. The unemployed can go back to Liaodong County with him. He will arrange work for them to ensure There is food and clothing for both men and women. What he said is naturally to enter the Dajiawan production base, where all kinds of stoves are concentrated in the textile industry, fishery and wood industry, and there is a shortage of people.

Zu Zhao ordered that there were many responders. Zu Zhao ordered people to record all the applicants. If there are elderly and children in the family, if there are many brothers and sisters, they can go. Otherwise, they must stay to take care of the young, and the government will provide appropriate subsidies in terms of food and materials.

The people's problem has been solved, and there is another important problem, that is, the county magistrate here. The original county magistrate and county magistrates were killed by Zhao Ci, and a county magistrate must be selected. His own people can't stay here now. Leaving anyone has a sense of great use. Don't be like Feng Zhu. Jiang Dong just let him get idle, and Liu Bei just let him be a small county magistrate. Fortunately, Zhang Feiren was not careless. When he saw Feng Zhu's ability, he decisively recommended it, which gave the ugly person who could compete with Zhuge Wolong a chance to take office.

Zu Zhao decided to use the method of democratic election, that is, to elect a person from the people in Xinchang County that they think are qualified to be a county magistrate. This is very good and highly autonomous. Naturally, the elected county magistrate will naturally serve the people, and the people will also obey him. It is easy to do things, and there is also room for negotiation when encountering conflicts. , it won't cause trouble. These days, the people live in deep trouble. In three days, there is a small chaos and five days of chaos. They often kill the county magistrates and rebelled. Zu Zhao does not want to see such a thing happen in Liaodong.

Zu Zhao still has a problem to solve in his heart, that is, according to historical records that in 187, next year, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun in Liaodong will rebel. They will kill the governor of Youbeiping County and the governor of Liaodong County. They are now in the duty of Liaodong County. At that time, those two guys will not kill when they rebel. It's himself, this is a injustice, so he must beware. He believes that he can change history and must let the rebellion of the two of them be strangled in the cradle.

However, the problem now is that he can't imitate the Yang family in the Sui Dynasty. In order to prevent someone from plotting to become a dynasty, he killed the man surnamed Li, which is amazing. Now there are many civilian generals surnamed Zhang under his subordinates. If they are killed together, they will really force people to fight back. He won't do such a thing.

Of course, the problem now is to select a county magistrate to take charge of some things here. As for other assistant officials, the county magistrate will be presided over by the election of the people. When Zu Zhao finds a suitable candidate, he will naturally be transferred here.

As soon as the edict came out, the people felt fresh and chose the people they were optimistic about as county magistrates. They had never heard of this kind of before and directly couldn't believe it. They knew that officials could recommend each other, and officials could also recommend capable white people to do some small positions, but the people Except for Zu Zhao, there is no one who is not surprised and interested in this kind of thing.

After layers of publicity and screening, the people finally found the person they thought was the most qualified to be the magistrate of Xinchang County. This person is thin and tall, looks beautiful and energetic, and Zu Zhao also likes it very much. This person is from Xinchang County, whose surname is Liao Mingzheng. When he heard this name, Zu Zhao immediately thought of Wei Zheng and Liao Hua, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

This Liao Zheng, who used to have some assets in his family, is also a scholarly family, but he is not very public and not keen on officialdom. He believes that the officialdom is too dark now. A good official can't do anything for the people for a long time. If he wants to do something for the people, he may be impeached and oust him, so he has been Without participating in any officialdom, he was studying at home, but said that there was half a room for bamboo and bamboos at home.

Now the people raise him as the county magistrate. Zu Zhao may have any ideas that he can freely use, as long as it is good for the people. Liao Zheng felt his kindness and agreed to be a county magistrate. He also told Zu Zhao some good people's methods in his heart, which was very satisfactory, so that he could safely and boldly implement it. If he needed any help, as long as he submitted an application, Zu Zhao would definitely approve it quickly and sent someone to help him.

Seeing that Zu Zhao was so for the people, after Zu Zhao's army left, the people held hands to see each other and went straight out of Xinchang County before they waved back. They were full of praise for Zu Zhao.

When Zu Zhao returned to Liaodong County with his army, there were people waiting for him outside the city. There were officials and people, and the people who warmed Zu Zhao the most were four women standing in the front row of the team. They were Feng Luoxue, Cai Wenji, Quan Zhiyu and Chen Yuanyuan.

I really don't know who to accompany tonight. Feng Luoxue? This is quite good, but I have spent several nights with her before. I'm afraid that Cai Wenji will be very jealous if she is still with her tonight. It's also good to follow Cai Wenji. Her ** kung fu makes my mouth water when I think about it. As for Quan Zhiyu, didn't she go back to Silla? Why is she still here? There is a lot of sadness between her eyebrows. She won't have encountered anything, or she is afraid that she will refuse her again.

Chen Yuanyuan, a good girl who is 28 years old, is still a young girl. She must be very happy. However, I'm afraid it's a little early to sleep with her now. Now there are only four women, and she can't stand it. I really don't know how the emperor's harem three thousand dealt with. No wonder the harem fight is as cruel as the battlefield. Those harem concubines and so on, no matter how capable the emperor is, spoils ten times a day, the last one has to wait for nearly a year. What is the concept of a year? And the emperor is not capable at all. Sometimes he spoils one person. Some people have never seen the emperor in their lives after being elected to the palace. There are eunuchs around them, thinking It's pitiful to think about it. Damn, is this a human life? What a waste of resources. Zu Zhao couldn't help cursing a few words. Fortunately, no one heard him scolding the emperor, otherwise he was afraid that he would soon be exiled everywhere to avoid the emperor's pursuit order.
