Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 494 Road Encounters

Xinzhou, Dingxiang County.

Dozens of cavalry marched all the way into the city and got off their horses at the entrance of the county government office. Zhang Gongjin, the leader, felt uneasy. Not long after they broke up, Li Shan ordered someone to call urgently. Something must have happened.

"The next official pays a visit to the county magistrate."

This time, Li Shan, who was sitting at the top, took up the famous general of the early Tang Dynasty without any gesture of affection. He stared fixedly at Zhang Gongjin without any expression on his face, and said after a while, "Sit down."

Zhang Gongjin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, what happened?"

Li Shan glanced over blankly, Zhang Gongjin immediately closed her mouth, and sat obediently to the side... From the first contact to the present, this well-known young county magistrate has always been gentle and refined, but everyone remembers it Jingguan outside Yanmen Pass.

A while later, a middle-aged man in his forties hurried over, "Guantao County Lord, my servant..."

"Brother Yizhi has already sent a letter, and I wanted to visit him on the way south." Li Shanpi hummed with a smile on his face, "Sit down for now."

"Yan Hegong." Zhang Gongjin greeted cautiously.

"Hongshen, long time no see." The middle-aged man exchanged some pleasantries, and when Li Shan coughed, the two fell silent.

This middle-aged man was born in the Fang clan of Qinghe. He was Fang Renyu, the uncle of Li Shimin's most important adviser, Fang Xuanling, and he was also in the lineage of the King of Qin. The vacancy of Xinzhou's general manager had been vacant for many years, and it was not until this year that Fang Renyu made up for it.

The atmosphere of silence gradually froze, and it wasn't until the sun went down that a loud report came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Xue Wanche, the secretary of the Daizhou General Manager's Office, and Yuanyou, who is a member of the army, see you."

Xue Wanche stepped into the hall and bowed to salute, but out of the corner of his eye, he was looking at Zhang Gongjin, with undisguised gloating in his eyes.

Zhang Gongjin's heart sank, Yuanyou was a member of the Yuan clan in Dingxiang, and he had to recommend him as Sitian to join the army.

Li Shan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Have you found it?"

A personal guard took out the album and account book, "I found it, and it is exactly as described."

"63 people, including 32 young and strong, moved from Mayi to Dingxiang, Xinzhou in November last year." Li Shan turned over and nodded: "I remember these people, who moved to Dadu Daizhou last year, and these 63 people Although the people moved here from Mayi, their ancestral home is Dingxiang, Xinzhou."

Flipping through the album again, Li Shan threw it at the gray-faced Yuanyou, "Twelve miles to the north of the city, there is a grant of [-] mu of land, right?"

The personal guards escorted seven or eight members of the Yuan clan to kneel behind, and Li Shan burst out with suppressed anger, "It's very smart, and we live in peace, and we will seize their fields after they plant winter wheat, or even fertilize in spring. "

"It's nothing more than seizing his fields and acres, but he still wants to capture people to serve as slaves..." Li Shan kicked Yuanyou over, and shouted: "Zhang Gongjin, this is Sitian you chose to join the army!"

"What a good eye!"

Xue Wanche on the side laughed so hard that his mouth split open, Zhang Gongjin gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Yuanyou on the ground.

"It's fine to seize the land and kidnap people. If you don't see it, then forget it, but you can be caught by someone!" Li Shan sneered: "Not only evil, but also stupid!"

Zhang Gongjin was also speechless. Indeed, it was too stupid to be caught by Li Shan after doing such a thing...or it was just bad luck.

"Xue Wanche!"

"exist."

Li Shan asked with a cold face: "On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, what did you order?"

Xue Wanche immediately replied: "The county government ordered Daizhou and Xinzhou not to treat the relocated residents harshly."

"Zhang Gongjin!"

"The subordinate is here."

"What is the most taboo when you are going to do great things?"

Zhang Gongjin's lips trembled, "The most taboo is restlessness and people fighting."

Others couldn't understand, but Li Shan and Zhang Gongjin knew it well.

To march in the army, you must control Mayi and divide the army under Yuan Junzhang's command. But now a large number of foreign people have moved to Daizhou and Xinzhou, and a considerable part of Yuan Junzhang's soldiers are from Shuozhou and Yunzhou. They will enter Daizhou and Xinzhou... This is also arranged by Li Shan before.

It is understandable that the aborigines reject outsiders, but there is a limit after all. Once there is any change and the matter becomes serious, Mayi will definitely feel suspicious. Even Daizhou and Xinzhou will inevitably have trouble.

A few years ago, Liu Wuzhou stormed Hedong. Pei Ji burned the people's food to clear the land, but he ignored the people. A large number of people flooded into Xia County and fought with the locals. In the end, Lu Chongmao gathered a crowd and rebelled. Li Xiaoji, Dugu Huai'en , Yu Yun, Tang Jian and Liu Shirang, the chief of the army, were all captured.

Ever since he made up his mind to move to Yunzhou and the people of Shuozhou, Li Shan has always been very concerned about this point, and for this reason he did not hesitate to cut off a head of the Li family, a powerful family in Dai County.

The greed of the aristocratic family comes from nature and cannot be eradicated. Li Shan can also understand it, but it is still the same sentence, there must be a limit.

However, there are few powerful people in Daizhou, they are all bumpkins... Li Shan did not expect that Xinzhou's side would be so courageous.

"Daizhou chopped off a head, and there is no more dispute." Li Shan looked at the Yuan clan members coldly, "It seems that Xinzhou will also chop off a few heads."

There was a commotion below, Yuanyou looked at Zhang Gongjin helplessly, you are not going to chop off my head, are you?
At this time, Fang Renyu hesitated and took a few steps forward.

"Director Xinzhou has something to say?" Li Shan raised his brows, the meaning was obvious. Although I am only a long history, I am in charge of the governor's office of Daizhou. Although you are the governor of Xinzhou, you are my subordinate.

Fang Renyu smiled bitterly, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Dingxiang Yuan and Taiyuan Wang are related by marriage, Yuanyou's wife and mother are both Taiyuan Qixian Wang's daughters, and Yuanyou's wife is Wang Xiaoqing's cousin."

Zhang Gongjin also came up and said in a low voice: "He only begged Wang Xiaoqing to be able to..."

Li Shan was speechless, what the hell happened to me in the end?

If it weren't for Wang Renbiao being my good friend, Yuanyou might not have been recommended by Zhang Gongjin as Sitian to join the army, and Dingxiang Yuanshi might not have been so bold?

"Bullshit!" Li Shan scolded in a low voice: "If this matter is not handled properly, all regions will follow suit, and when Yuan Junzhang's subordinates enter Daizhou, one bad thing is mutiny. Then you two will be responsible?!"

"Besides, this kind of thing happened to hit someone's hand, and in front of someone, you dared to kill someone with a knife... That's slapping me, Li Huairen!"

Without waiting for the two to say anything else, Li Shan stepped forward and said sharply: "Qinghe the year before last, a certain person beheaded Qinghe Cui's children with his own hands, saying that the murderer will pay with his life!"

Yuanyou blurted out with a trembling body, "Even if the death penalty is imposed, it must be reported to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment for review..."

"You are responsible for dereliction of duty, and you are dismissed." Li Shan said indifferently, "Dingxiang Yuanshi, choose another person to lead Si Tian to join the army."

Zhang Gongjin and Fang Renyu who were behind him all breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing the previous sentence, they were really afraid that the Duke of Guantao County would chop off Yuanyou's head.

But immediately afterwards, Li Shan said sharply: "A certain person is in charge of the Daizhou General Manager's Mansion. This matter not only involves civil disputes, but also undermines military affairs. Today, 13 people were captured and all of them were beheaded!"
