Qiming 1158

Chapter 332 The real leader is Su Yonglin

Although Zhao Zuoliang can't lead the army, but for many years as the actual person in charge of the Zhao family, he has managed the family business, handled disputes, and has very good internal affairs skills, so his work performance is still good.

He arrested all those who committed crimes during the Zhao Xiang Group's short period of power, questioned and reviewed them one by one, and pulled out many cases of money and power transactions between them and Zhao Xiang Group's power holders.

Su Yonglin listened and felt a little incredible.

When he was reading history books, he read that Liu He, the deposed emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, had been emperor for 27 days and was dethroned by Huo Guang.

When Huo Guang abolished his throne, he cited some reasons, one of which was that Liu He had done 27 seven bad things within 120 days of succeeding to the throne, some of which were fragmentary.

At that time, Su Yonglin thought it was unbelievable how hard it would be for a person to do 27 seven bad things in 120 days.

On average, Liu He has to do 41 bad things a day, 24 hours a day, except for the eight hours of rest, there are only [-] hours for him to do bad things, which means that he has to do nearly three bad things in an hour...

Doing nothing every day is doing bad things.

And not even an overlap?
This is of course a bit of a sense of guilt, but after hearing Zhao Zuoliang's report on the bad things Zhao Xiang Group had done within a month, Su Yonglin's mind changed.

He suddenly felt that the history book was a bit exaggerated, but since it could be written, it meant that something similar had really happened.

There are people who are really in power just to do bad things and to satisfy their own selfish desires, and they exist to vent their desires and to do bad things.

After these Zhao clansmen pushed Zhao Xiang to power, they immediately used the power in their hands to seek personal gain for themselves.

For those who admit to cowardice, they will start lightly, and for those who are hard-boned and like to be tough, they will use various methods to bully and polish.

They often unite with those families who benefited them to suppress these families who did not benefit them, and helped to divide up the family property of these families, dismembering, eating, and eating their brains full of fat.

You want land, money, beauty, and even handsome men.

Anyway, as long as it is given, they all accept it, it is simply a Pixiu that cannot enter.

Not to mention these things cannot be tolerated by the Restoration Army, even the mixed laws of the Jin Kingdom cannot be approved on the surface, unless the relationship is strong, it must be dealt with.

With these things in place, and the survivors of the bullied families come to Su Yonglin and cry, if they don't kill people, there is simply no way to convince the public, and Su Yonglin will not be able to sit firmly on this site.

So after reading the report, Su Yonglin felt that the situation was not too good.

Execute these bastards in an open and fair manner, cut off political threats, completely eliminate the influence of the Zhao family's forces in the Restoration Army, and let their influence run through.

At the same time, it can also charge all the wealth collected by the Zhao family and external forces into the public account, and can even directly promote the extensive implementation of his new rural policy in this area.

No matter how you look at it, it's blood to make money.

The land, farmers, and money owned by these guys can be regarded as an astronomical figure. According to the current statistics alone, there are 30 million mu of high-quality fertile land, and the cash that can be used immediately is tens of millions.

Even if the Su Yonglin Corps, which had the same huge military expenditure, came to eat, there was no way to eat all these things in one bite. They had to eat slowly, otherwise they would suffer from indigestion.

A bottomless pit like the Corps couldn't eat all this wealth in one go, so Su Yonglin could understand how it felt when Jiaqing killed He Shen.

So he looked at Zhao Zuoliang and then at Zhao Yucheng.

"Since the matter has reached this point, if it is not dealt with seriously, it will not be able to convince the public, the public will not be stable, and the public will not agree. This is very dangerous for us. What do you think?"

What else can Zhao Zuoliang say?

Zhao Yucheng was even more angry that these clan people who betrayed his father were about to go crazy, and firmly supported Su Yonglin in rehashing these bastards.

"Uncle Yuting doesn't have to worry about me, I wish I could kill these traitors!"

Zhao Yucheng simply wanted to kill his own clan.

Self-inflicted sin, can't live.

So after "prudent" thinking, Su Yonglin decided to send Chen Zuo, the former commander of the army, Zhao Yiyuan, the former commander of the rear army, Zhao Yi, the former commander of the left army, Zhao Ruida, the former commander of the right army, and Zhao Jinghuanwu, the former commander of the front army. People beheaded.

The reason is that these five people have committed a lot of crimes, and they have done too many wicked things because of their power. They are not tolerated by the people and must be killed to comfort the people.

As for the principal offender Zhao Xiang and the accomplice Zhao Jiashi, since they have already been executed, no further punishment will be imposed.

These people were beheaded, but their families were also responsible.

Zhao Yucheng simply suggested that they be expelled from the Zhao clan, and from then on they were ordinary people who had nothing to do with the Zhao clan.

And it is not allowed to be surnamed Zhao again.

This opinion was approved by Su Yonglin. Zhao Zuoliang thought about it and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

So the matter is settled.

The remaining people who have not been executed have committed crimes, but the crimes have not yet reached the point where they need to be executed, but they cannot be tolerated to continue to be a blessing.

Su Yonglin announced that most of their family properties would be seized, only a small amount of subsistence farmland and simple dilapidated farm houses would be kept, and the Zhao clan would be expelled.

The family members of these criminals must also change their surnames. They are not allowed to take the surname Zhao again, and they are not allowed to identify themselves as Zhao family members.

As for those families who rely on Zhaoxiang Group to seek benefits for their misdeeds, those with minor circumstances will be fined and land confiscated, and those with serious circumstances will have their property confiscated, causing them to lose everything and even have no chance to start over.

Because their surviving rival families will definitely make them feel a future that is worse than death.

It is the so-called wicked who have their own wicked grind.

The execution of these punitive measures is backed by the army. Although some people yelled at them and struggled desperately, no one could resist the force of the army.

After a wave of punishment and liquidation ended, only Zhao Zuoliang and Zhao Yucheng were left from the dozen or so clan members of the Zhao family.

The rest are either dead or all sent out of the family, and become foreigners who have nothing to do with the Zhao family.

They don't deserve the surname Zhao anymore.

Su Yonglin used this trial to basically liquidate the Zhao family's influence in the Restoration Army, and dealt with it in an open and aboveboard manner without any objection.

The bottom line is that the Zhao family is overkill.

Su Yonglin's act of liquidating the Zhao family's forces only made the rest of the people feel embarrassed and relieved, and did not have any other emotions.

Su Yonglin conformed to people's hearts, solved this matter according to the times, ended this chaotic period, and brought order and security back to Shandong. How great is it?
Since then, Su Yonglin has really become the true leader of the Restoration Army in Hebei and Shandong.

Although Su Yonglin honored his father-in-law Zhao Zuoliang as the leader of the Restoration Army in name, everyone knew that Zhao Zuoliang was only a nominal leader, and the real leader was Su Yonglin.

Zhao Yucheng did not object to this.

Before the announcement, Su Yonglin had a talk with Zhao Yucheng, and directly pointed out the reason for his failure in this incident, as well as the many mistakes he made, which made Zhao Yucheng deeply realize his own shortcomings.

"Uncle Yuting, I have too many deficiencies. I think I have to learn more. Can you teach me?"

Zhao Yucheng held Su Yonglin's hand and sincerely begged him.

Su Yonglin nodded and smiled.

"Of course, you should learn more so that you don't make mistakes later."

So Su Yonglin gave Zhao Yucheng a letter of introduction, and told him to immediately set off for Hejian Mansion to find Tian Guizi, who was serving as the chief clerk of the guidance department in the army, study hard under his tutelage, and practice hard. will be completely different from now.

He will know how naive he was and how wrong he was before.

Zhao Yucheng nodded seriously.

After he worshipped the tomb of his father Zhao Kaishan, he left Linyi with his mother and younger siblings and went to Hejian Mansion.
