Chapter 89 Liu beheading

Wuzhou, next to Tianbao Province, is one of the 21 provinces of the Tianji Dynasty.

This Qiu County is under the jurisdiction of Yuanping Prefecture in Wuzhou Province.

In the local management of the Tianji Dynasty, the three divisions are the highest management agencies.

There are three levels of government, state and county.

Qiu County can fall to such a level, which has a lot to do with this level of officials.

Liu Xia looked at the burning beacon, and then looked at the sun gradually sinking in the sky, and couldn't help sneering.

According to common sense, if Qiu County ignites the beacon, the nearby Mao County should send troops and reinforcements within one hour. Within two hours, reinforcements from Qiu County, Mao County, Qingyuan County, Sui County and other places should have arrived.

Within three hours, the reinforcements of the former Pingzhou should have arrived, and now, if the beacon is not extinguished, the vanguard reinforcements of Wuzhou should also arrive.

However, it has been nine hours, that is, 18 hours, since the beacon was lit last night, but no soldiers and horses have arrived.

This is a little scary.

If you really want to fight, 18 hours is enough to make Qiu County into a ruin.

"Your Majesty, please go back and have a rest. I'm afraid today's reinforcement will not arrive."

Wu Jiajun stood on one side and persuaded him.

"No hurry, someone will arrive. If they don't, we will kill more people."

Liu Xia said coldly.

Wu Jiajun knew that this seemingly young prince was angry from his heart.

The sun in the sky, setting little by little. At this time, a fast horse flew to the gate. It was not someone else, but Liu Liansheng, who had been running around all night.

After turning over and getting off the horse, he quickly went up to the wall. When he arrived in front of Liu Xia, he hugged his fist and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Datong, the left and right political envoy of Wuzhou, Song Qingming, and the commander Liu Hongtao are already fifty miles away. The little one will come back to report the news first."

"Lord Wu, do you know about Fang Datong and Song Qingming?"

Liu Xia asked lightly.

"Lord, Lord Fang was born in martial arts. He came here three years ago. Lord Song was born in the top ten families of the Song family and has been a political envoy here for eight years."

Wu Jiajun said lightly.

"What about Liu Hongtao?"

Liu Xia asked again.

"Lord Liu was born in martial arts, and the rest of the little ones don't know much."

Wu Jiajun said.

Before the Tianji Dynasty, like political envoys, inspectors, and commanders were all the children of the clan.

Later, the Tianji Dynasty implemented martial arts in order to suppress the control of the dynasty. After so many years of implementation, many poor families born in martial arts have been able to hold most of the official positions.

Even in the cabinet, there are poor families born in martial arts.

These poor people born in martial arts have gradually been able to compete with the officials of the clan, which is also a progress of the Tianji Dynasty.

However, the family will not give up such an important position as the political envoy. In every place, there is at least one political envoy born by the family.

Liu Xia knows that despite this, it is still difficult for officials born in poor families to compete with these family officials. After all, they have a background.

It is reasonable that Qiu County has reached such a point. Even if you, Song Qingming, want to cover the sky with one hand, Fang Datong, who was born in a humble family, should not fall to such a point.

However, things have become like this.

Take a step back, and Liu Hongtao, the commander born in a poor family, how could he become like this?

In less than half an hour, I saw a vast army coming towards Qiu County.

This should be the soldiers and horses of the Wuzhou battalion.

The Wuzhou Pioneer Army, which should have arrived at the end, turned out to be the first to arrive, which was indeed extremely ironic.

At this time, a 3,000-person cavalry escorted two carriages to the gate of Qiu County.

Immediately, a group of people were seen rushing up to the city wall.

"Let's see the prince, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

At present, the political envoys and commanders around Wuzhou knelt down and saluted one after another.

Liu Xia looked at the three people in front of her and was silent.

The one who knelt on the far left was kneeling on one knee, wearing a uniform, with a burly figure and a beard. His eyebrows were very sharp in front of him. This person should be Liu Hongtao, the commander of Wuzhou.

On his side, he is wearing the official uniform of the political envoy, with a thin figure and spleen cheeks. He looks upright with a little bookishness. It should be Song Qingming, a native of the Song family.

On the side of Song Qingming, there is a burly figure with dark skin and white temples. He looks like he is 70 years old. He should be another political envoy Fang Datong.

The three people couldn't hear Liu Xia's words, so they knelt there and dared not get up.

Fang Datong was obviously a little scared, and his body couldn't help trembling.

As for Liu Hongtao and Song Qingming, it seems that nothing has happened. They are so calm and obviously fearless.

Liu Xia didn't say anything, looked at them, and then let out a sneer.

For a while, the atmosphere here seems to have been solidified.

At this moment, Liu Xia had already looked ahead and was silent, as if she hadn't seen the three of them.

Half an hour later, Liu Liansheng hurried over and said, "Your Excellency, the reinforcement of Ning Ruhai, the former Pingzhou Zhizhou, has arrived."

"I know."

Liu Xia still sneered and said nothing else.

Subsequently, the former Pingzhou Zhizhou went up to the wall to kneel down and salute.

Liu Xia has never spoken.

It has been waiting until the sun sets completely, and the reinforcements from several nearby places have arrived one after another.

Protecting the whole Qiu County is really like an iron bucket.

Liu Xia sat on the wall like this, silent. No matter what official came, he didn't get up.

Waiting until night, the reinforcement officials arrived with all the people.

At this moment, there are a lot of people kneeling on the wall, from governors, Zhizhou, Tongzhi, push officials, to the generals of the army, guerrillas, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and 700 to 800 people kneel down densely.

Due to the small area of the city wall, some officials have knelt down on the streets within the city wall.

The scene is spectacular.

Wu Jiajun was in a cold sweat. He knew what Liu Xia was going to do. He was a little worried and was afraid that it would be out of control for a while.

However, Liu Xia sat there and was extremely calm.

After a while, Liu Xia drank a cup of tea and slowly got up.

"Instructor Liu, I have a question and would like to ask you."

At this time, Liu Xia finally opened her mouth.

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. I don't dare to ask."

Liu Hongtao thumped in his heart and said hurriedly.

About Liu Xia, he had already inquired about it when he came.

Today's Liu Xia is well-known, like thunder. Naturally, it will not be very difficult to inquire about anything.

"Ha ha, may I ask when the reinforcements from Yuan Pingzhou to come here should arrive?"

Liu Xia asked with a smile.

"The prince, the former Pingzhou garrison is 200 miles away from here. The court stipulates that it must arrive within three hours."

Liu Hongtao said hurriedly.

"Oh, that's it. Then let me ask you, when should the garrison arrive at a distance of 50 miles?

"Let's go back to the prince, one hour."

Liu Hongtao said in a hurry.

"Well, you all know. Then I'll ask you again, why didn't the garrison under your jurisdiction arrive?

Liu Xia asked in a stunned voice.

"This, this, the last general doesn't know."

Liu Hongtao's sweat dripped from his forehead.

"I don't know, so I'll review what the national law is for you. Liu Liansheng, inform Hu Wei to enter the city.

Liu Xia suddenly got up and said angrily.

At this moment, Liu Liansheng took out a bamboo tube, and suddenly a fireworks rushed to the sky in an instant.

After a while, I saw a cavalryman in bloody armor, quickly approaching Qiu County, and then entering the city.

"According to the order, all the officials of 100 households, including 100 households, the former Pingzhizhou, the county magistrates, but those who do not reinforce according to the prescribed time, arrest me."

Liu Xia immediately took a picture and drank it.

This time, not only Wu Jiajun, but also the governor who knelt on the ground was a little dumbfounded.

If this is caught, the more than 700 officials kneeling here, except for the people they bring, can hardly run.

This is a little noisy.

"Your Majesty, although their reinforcements are late, there may be other delays."

At this time, Song Qingming hurriedly hugged his fist and said.

"Is that so? Lord Song dares to excuse him. But shut up. I'll deal with your business later."

Liu Xia said angrily.

When the tiger guards got the order, they didn't say anything. All the officials who knelt on the wall were arrested.

That scene is called spectacular.

So, up and down the wall, a lot of people shouted injustice.

However, Hu Wei didn't care about those and tied those flowers one after another.

"Liu Liansheng."

"There!"

"Correct these people on the spot, and don't leave any of them."

At this time, Liu Xia gave the order again.

Now, even Liu Liansheng is a little stupid.

These are all the officials of the imperial court, and more than 600 people have been arrested, which is a little appalling.

At this time, Liu Xia stared at him fiercely, and Liu Liansheng hurriedly said, "Yes!"

So, those people were pushed out of the city gate by Hu Wei, and their knives fell and their heads fell to the ground.

That scene is spectacular.

More than 600 officials, from Zhizhou to 100 households, their heads rolled down to the ground, and the blood dyed a red before the gate.

Liu Hongtao, who was still kneeling on the ground at this moment, heard the screams and beheading under the wall. The sweat on his forehead had soaked him kneeling in that place.

As for Song Qingming, he was also stunned. This time, he was completely at a loss.

Most of these officials are his direct line. As usual, he will definitely beg for mercy for these officials.

But now, he dares not say a word.

Because the army that carried out the order did not know where it came from.

He was worried that as long as he did something today, he would fall into Liu Xia's trap.

I can only hold back my breath and wait until I find out the situation.

So, the sound of beheading came one after another. In less than half an hour, a piece of corpse was piled up under the wall.

"Lord Liu, I have reviewed the national law for you. The rest is up to you. Liu Liansheng hung the heads of those officials and the bodies of the mountain thieves who dared to attack the county last night outside the city wall of Qiu County. From today on, anyone who dares to despise the national law will be killed without mercy.

After Liu Xia finished speaking, Liu Hongtao and others hurriedly shouted, "Yes."
