Chapter 30 Public Trial Conference
(Ask for red tickets! Help me pick it up!)
At the end of the seventh year of Chongzhen, for many people in Shanxi, this year's winter was very sad. It was about to celebrate the Spring Festival, but their family's grain storage was basically running out. In order to keep the grain for a longer period of time, most people had to mix bran in the hybrid noodles or even peel off the elm bark and grind it into noodles. It's hard to survive. Some people even have to run away from home and embark on the road of begging.
But for the people in the south of Yangcheng County, all this is another scene. The faces of the people here are full of joy, as if the Spring Festival is in advance, because soon after the new poles on this road occupied their area, a local people were released. The unexpected good news is that this Xing Tianjun suddenly announced that it would redistribute the farmland in the area under their jurisdiction and distribute it to local landless farmers for their future farming, so that the head of each labor, whether male or female, can be counted, and then each labor can get five to ten mu according to the thickness of the farmland. Farmland.
As soon as the news was announced, it caused an earthquake in the southern part of Yangcheng County, which immediately stunned everyone in the area. These people could hardly believe that it was true. Many of them did not have their land before, but now suddenly, the poles that ran from the outside to their place actually Many people couldn't believe that they wanted to divide their fields, so someone tried to go to Xing Tianjun in Dongye Town and Lianhua Mountain to inquire about the news.
As a result, after they found the people of Xing Tianjun, they really got the fields assigned to them from Xing Tianjun. Xing Tianjun specially sent some people to the land of various townships and villages to measure the land, register the local population, draw these abandoned land into blocks, and give them to the villagers who went to collect the land.
At this time, the local villagers believe that this matter is true. Although Xing Tianjun is just a pole in their eyes, and the land deed issued is not effective for the government's land deed at all, who cares whether the land deed issued by Xing Tianjun is recognized by the government at this time?
For these people who are extremely eager for land, the government has been out of control of the local area for several years. In fact, the civil affairs in this area are basically determined by the poles that occupy the local area. Whoever occupies this area is the king of grass, and whoever says it counts.
When this Xing Tianjun first arrived here, in a short time, it killed Zhao Datong and Xiao butchers who had been here all year round. Through this period of observation, the local people have seen that this pole is indeed not like the previous Zhao Datong and Xiao butchers. They claimed that they would not demolish the house or starve to death. After these days, the local people can really see that they have indeed done this.
Since Xing Tianjun killed Zhao Datong and Xiao Changshan, they have received the territory of Zhao Datong and Xiao Changshan, and the whole army has moved into these two stockades. Although Zhao Datong's stockades have been set on fire by Feng Tiancheng, after Xing Tianjun occupied this place, they immediately began to rebuild and cut them on the spot. A lot of wood was cut down, and rows of simple but practical camps were built in Zhao Datong's cottages. When they lived in them, they finally ended their life of eating and sleeping for months, and they did not harass the surrounding villages at all.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Xingtian Army also showed strong discipline and did not plunder nearby at all. Although sometimes go to some nearby villages to work and find some tools, the soldiers of the Xingtian Army are very disciplined and rarely use strong to the people, or make IOUs. Borrow it, or buy it with money, and the price given is also very fair. In this way, the surrounding people realize that the Xing Tianjun, which controls this area, is indeed a good pole, so it also dispels their doubts about Xing Tianjun and began to take the initiative to fight with Xing Tianjun.
It can be said that Xing Tianjun's performance has won the hearts of the local people in a very short time. Especially after Xing Tianjun announced these measures, he announced that he would conduct a public trial at the foot of Lianhua Mountain against Zhao Datong and Xiao Tuhu, who have harmed the local people for many years. Call the local people to Lianhua Mountain to participate in this public trial against them, to avenge the people who have been harmed by these two mountain thieves.
After hearing the news, countless local people rushed to the foot of Lianhua Mountain after hearing the news. Some people hated the thieves who had harmed them for many years. They wanted to look at the dejected wolves under Zhao Xiao, who had been domineering in the local area in the past few years. It's so bad that you can get out of this evil breath in your chest.
There are also more people, because their families have to follow them to act as servants because they are held hostage by Zhao Datong and Xiao butchers. This matter is also a matter of the life and death of their relatives. They have to run to see what will happen to their families.
When they rushed to the foot of Lianhua Mountain, hundreds of captured men of Zhao Datong and Xiao butchers had already been escorted to the foot of the mountain by Xing Tianjun in advance and tied to the erected wooden stakes at the foot of the mountain.
The generals of the Xingtian Army scattered around a huge open space at the foot of the mountain, forming a tight cordon, which brought martial law here.
As more and more people walked into the site in panic, the local people who were affected saw the group of guys tied to the foot of the mountain at a glance. As soon as they saw that they had come to such an end now, they could no longer resist their anger. Suddenly, they were excited and began to get angry. They crowded in front and pointed to the injurious mountain thieves and cursed. In anger, many people simply picked up the dirt on the ground. The small stones hit the leaders of the thieves tied in front of the wooden pillar. In the face of such a situation, Xiao Tianjian hurriedly ordered these angry people. Temporarily isolated from these prisoners. Before the provincial public trial meeting was held, these guys were beaten to death by the people. Therefore, under the hard dissuasion of the Xing Tianjun, the ordinary people who came to identify the culprit stopped attacking them and were cut off to the open ground by the warning line set up by the Xing Tianjun, even if In this case, several disaster-provoked mountain thief leaders were killed on the spot.
Then Xiao Tianjian sent his men to the common people and asked them to identify the most evil bandit leaders among these prisoners. After a lot of busy work, after the identification of the people, Xing Tianjun pulled out more than 40 evil leaders from the more than a thousand prisoners and knelt down thousands to watch. In front of the identified people, these guys were so scared that they begged the Xing Tianjun to spare their lives one by one. Some people were even scared that they pulled a pair of trousers on the spot. It was simply smelly and did not have the prestige of the original.
Xiao Tianjian slowly stepped on the high platform, holding a list just made by Fu Deming, Luo Yingjie and others in his hand, and glanced at the black crowd under his feet. When the people in the crowd saw Xiao Tianjian, who was tall and wearing iron armor, on the high platform, they gradually became calm. Quiet, Xiao Tianjian cleared his throat, so he picked up the list and loudly began to announce the crimes of more than 40 culprits in public. As he read a person's name, the knife and axeman under the stage immediately dragged the bandit head to the open space in front of the stage and knelt down under the stage again, waiting for After Xiao Tianjian read out all the lists, he glanced at the bandits kneeling on the empty ground under his feet, and then ignored these guys who were so scared that they cried and begged for mercy. He raised his hand high, waved hard, and shouted, "Cut!"
With his order, the axe hand immediately stepped forward, raised dozens of snowy steel knives, and shouted loudly one after another. Then they waved the knife together and tried to split it. There was a splash of blood, and dozens of good people rolled into the dust on the spot, in the cavity of a headless body. The blood splashed out like a fountain, and the hot blood was still hot and splashed on the ground. The bloody scene suddenly scared the people who came to watch the torture and closed their mouths one by one.
How have ordinary people ever seen such a bloody scene? Although they were still excited and scolded the bandits who harmed them just now, when they saw Xing Tianjun cut off these people's heads without blinking, everyone was scared by this bloody scene.
The whole dark crowd at the foot of Lianhua Mountain held their breath, and no one spoke. Although they had never seen a murder, it was the first time they saw the scene of cutting off the heads of dozens of people together. It was not until this time that they realized that in front of them These murderers are actually a group of strong people. The knives in their hands not only determine the life and death of these people, but also their life and death. So everyone began to come back and no longer dare to roar and scream.
The people did not speak, and Xiao Tianjian also stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back and silently stared at the local people under his feet, and also did not speak.
I don't know how long it took. An old man staggered out of the crowd and knelt down in front of the high platform where Xiao Tianjian was standing. He kowtowed heavily to Xiao Tianjian on the stage and shouted, "Thank you, General, for helping me revenge!"
No one knows what deep hatred this old man has with these murdered bandits, but many people here have unspeakable hatred for these bandits who have been in trouble for many years. When they see someone starting and kneels down to thank the tall and burly general standing on the high platform, more people also begin to get along. He knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian.
In a blink of an eye, almost all the people who came here knelt on the ground, and the sound of gratitude became a sound.
Xiao Tianjian raised his fists and saluted the people, and then raised his hands flat. After a long time of noise, it gradually calmed down.
Xiao Tianjian took a large copper loudspeaker from the guard, came to his mouth, and shouted at the thousands of people under the stage, "Fathers and villagers in Yangcheng, please! You may not know me. Today, I can tell everyone that my surname is Xiao! The big name is Xiao Tianjian! The nickname is Xiao Xingtian! And my soldiers will have a name, that is, Xing Tianjun!
We are all ordinary people who are forced to live by this world, just like you! In order to survive, he had to rise up and pull up the team to create this damn court and the damn government!
The reason why we came all the way here is by no means to harm the poor people in our Yangcheng! The reason why I, Xiao, gathered everyone here today is to tell the big guy that I, Xing Tianjun, will stay here from now on, stand up for our poor people and make a place where the big guys can live! Let everyone have a field and have a meal!
And the culprits killed today are only the first thing we Xing Tianjun did! We still have a lot to do next!
Today, we will only punish the first evil. For the rest of these bandits, the crime will not reach the dead, and I, Xing Tianjun, will not kill them indiscriminately. We will give them a chance to reform and mine mining to see the aftereffects and deal with them separately! For those who are kidnapped, there is no big mistake. Now ask their families to come and claim it. They can also share the fields for their cultivation!
I, Xiao, also know that for such a long time, my fellow villagers have suffered a lot and lived a very difficult life, so today I once again announce that anyone who is willing to stay, Xing Tianjun can share their fields, so that from now on, there will be fields to grow and food to eat! I will never live such a hard life again!
When I say this, maybe the big guy is still a little worried. He thinks that my Xing Tianjun's words have no weight. Even if we divide the fields, there may one day be no counting when we pull out our legs. The big guy can rest assured that I, Xiao, is not just talking. Since we came here this time, then we don't I will go again, and I will never easily abandon everyone again. Everyone can rest assured to use your own field!"
As soon as Xiao Tianjian's words fell, the people below immediately made a buzz. Many people whispered, and the sound suppressed all the sounds around them.
