Chapter 278: Ambush


Wang Min, Kang Qin and others were isolated and locked up in several tents in the Western Patrol Army camp.

Each person was in a tent.

They were unable to see or contact each other.

They were surrounded by soldiers outside the tent and could not escape. possibility.

Long before Wang Min and others were isolated, Liu Chenggong had ordered the army to dispatch and surround the county soldiers' camp.

The general was absent, and the camp was surrounded again.

The county soldiers were all in panic, wondering what was going on and why these newly arrived imperial soldiers and horses surrounded them.

No one in the camp was in charge of the overall situation, and the county soldiers were in chaos.

Each camp commander finally calmed down the chaotic soldiers.

At this time, a large number of imperial soldiers and horses had gathered outside the camp gate.

A large crossbow was moved outside the camp gate, and the flashing crossbow arrows were aimed at the camp.

The hearts of the people in the camp who had just stabilized were once again confused.

Liu Cheng, with a face as heavy as water, rode a red rabbit horse to the gate of the camp and shouted: "The Marquis of Anyi, General Chaqi, and Sikong Liu Cheng are here.

Everyone in the camp is listening.

Wang Min, Kang Qin, He Chun and other personnel are here."

Everyone has been arrested and imprisoned.

If you don’t want to bear the charge of rebellion and be annihilated and slaughtered by the imperial army, then open the camp gate quickly.

Life and death are only a matter of your thoughts."

There was silence in the camp for a while, and someone shouted: "Master Sikong, what Wang Min and others did has nothing to do with us.

We joined the army just to make a living, and we would never dare to betray the imperial court. .

Please forgive me, Lord Sikong, so that we can open the camp gate."

Liu Cheng's face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.

He didn't expect that someone would even open the camp door under certain conditions.

At this time, Chen Qun rode forward and shouted: "You bastards, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?

If Lord Sikong wants to kill you, why bother shouting here?

Just order the army to rush in.

You don't think that this wooden fence will do it?"

Can you stop it?”

The person shouting in the camp made no sound anymore, and after a while, the camp door creaked open.

Liu Cheng rode his horse and walked into the camp.

Behind him, the civil servants and generals followed in an orderly manner with their soldiers and horses.

From the Chinese army's tent, as Liu Cheng rode forward on his horse, the county soldiers made way for a passage.

Halfway through, Liu Cheng shouted loudly: "All the county soldiers are listening.

They all gathered at the school grounds.

The officers and generals restrained the troops and counted the number of people.

The army's Sima, Zhi, Zhubo and others waited until the central army's big tent to discuss the matter."

After the words fell, the county soldiers turned around and walked towards the school grounds.

The school lieutenants and village commanders ran first to assemble their teams, and the military officials came towards Liu Cheng.

The soldiers and horses brought by Liu Cheng quickly took control of the county army camp, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps.

The generals and officials followed Liu Cheng to the Chinese army's tent and stood on the left and right sides.

Liu Cheng walked to the main seat and sat down.

He looked at the county soldiers and officials and said, "Do any of you know about the crimes committed by Wang Min and others?"

Raise your hands, if you report the crimes of impeaching Wang Min and others, I, the general, can order people to be recorded as one of your political achievements.

In the future, the court can give priority to promotion and appointment in the promotion assessment."

After a few seconds of accumulation in the tent, one person hesitated and raised his hand, and then two more raised their hands.

These three people all have relatively high official positions in the military, and those with lower status cannot reach Wang Min's level.

Liu Cheng looked at the three people and said, "Hello, come here, bring me the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Next, Liu Cheng asked about the number, training, equipment and logistics of the county soldiers.

He learned that there were four thousand people in the camp, and another thousand people stationed at various checkpoints, and the garrison stationed at each checkpoint.

Names, number of troops stationed, etc.

Liu Cheng immediately sent people to deliver letters to each checkpoint in the name of Wang Min, asking the generals to come to the prefect's mansion to discuss matters.

The guards at each checkpoint were Wang Min's confidants and had to be replaced, otherwise he would not be at ease.

Liu Cheng left several officials to write the impeachment memorial in the big account, while he took other officials to the school grounds.

The county soldiers had already lined up according to the original organizational structure under the command of officers and military leaders at all levels.

Liu Cheng stepped onto the high platform with his sword in hand and looked at all the county soldiers below the stage and said: "Wang Min and others are finished.

Based on what they committed The crime and beheading are already minor.

The court will re-appoint the candidate of the county soldier captain.

There are accomplices of Wang Min in the army.

We hope that everyone can report it enthusiastically.

As long as it is verified to be true, the court will not hesitate to reward you.

In addition to financial rewards, the person who reported the report will also be credited with a meritorious service.

Someone will be responsible for it later.

Anyone with knowledge of the report can go there on their own, and that’s the end of the matter.”

"Now let's talk about your future.

In any case, you were recruited by Wang Min and others in the name of the imperial court.

The imperial court also recognizes your status as county soldiers.

I hope you will continue to stay to guard your hometown and the people.

If any of you I was forced to follow Those in the military can choose to stand up and retire, and the Sheriff's Office can pay you severance pay and let you go home.

If you were forced to join the army and don't want to retire now, of course you can stay.

It was after disrupting the establishment that New reorganization, re-training, and officer exchange.

If someone reports an officer who has misdeeds, the superiors will naturally send people to investigate.

If the case is true, they will be advised to retire if the case is minor.

If the case is serious, they will be held accountable.

Those who are over age or have disabilities will be held accountable. people, court The imperial court required these people to retire and pay them severance pay to go home.

The court would ask the local government to give priority to retired soldiers, or to serve as captains in charge of five households for inspection, or as captains in charge of ten families, and to kill the enemy.

Those who have retired with meritorious service can serve as the head of the district or the head of the pavilion."

Border fortress counties such as Dunhuang County must set up barricades to guard the frontier to prevent invasion by foreign enemies.

All counties near the fortress were appointed to have lieutenants, one from Baili, two each from Shishi and Weishi, to patrol the frontier fortress.

Then the reorganization began.

The officers were called according to the roster.

Those who were overage and physically disabled were forced to retire.

Only more than 80 people volunteered to retire.

The remaining soldiers chose to stay, because according to what Liu Cheng had just announced The arrangements for retired soldiers stipulate that soldiers without meritorious services can only serve as chiefs after returning to their hometowns, while retired soldiers with meritorious service can serve as den chiefs or pavilion chiefs after returning to their hometowns.

While these county soldiers were being reorganized, Liu Cheng had ordered the accompanying officials to interrogate other officials in the county guard's office one by one to collect evidence of Wang Min and others' crimes.

It has to be said that after Wang Min and others were isolated and lost their ability and freedom to act, they had lost control of the entire Dunhuang County, and they had also lost control of their former officials.

Those who had grudges against them Officials and people came forward one after another to provide evidence against the crimes they had committed.

After three days of investigation and evidence collection, all the crimes of Wang Min and others were exposed in broad daylight.

During the past few days, the guards stationed at various passes also came to the county governor's house one after another, but they were all controlled.

Liu Cheng followed New candidates were selected from the county soldiers to temporarily guard the various passes.

When the power of Wang Min and others was uprooted and all the witnesses of the crimes were collected, Liu Cheng sent people to set up a public trial platform outside the city to conduct a public trial of Wang Min and others.

The public trial site allowed all the people to watch on the spot.

It was still dark, and the people of Dunhuang County who had already received the news of the public trial came from all directions.

By the time the public trial was about to begin, tens of thousands of people had already gathered at the scene.

Prison cars were escorted by cavalry to the public trial platform one after another.

The soldiers separated a long passage from the onlookers.

When the prison cars passed among the people, someone in the crowd shouted: "Oh my god."

Those who killed Wang Min and Kang Qin, you also killed them today, killed them."

"Kill them, cut them into pieces" Rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and stones were thrown at the prison car from the crowd.

After a while, Wang Min, Kang Qin, and others were hit with large bags of stones on their heads.

The prisoners and the prison car were full of rags.

Rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.

Wang Min was first taken to the high platform for interrogation.

Liu Ye presided over the trial.

He listed Wang Min's crimes on the spot and asked a personal witness to confront him.

The family members of the victim were also invited to the high platform.

As the victims, they had the right to attack Wang Min.

Min and others filed a complaint.

Wang Min knew that his fate was over, and he was heartbroken and confessed to his crime.

Next, Kang Qin, He Chun and others were taken to the high platform for interrogation one by one.

In front of sufficient evidence and witnesses, these people could not deny or argue, and confessed one by one.

Liu Ye finally stood up to pronounce the verdict: "Wang Min, Kang Qin, He Chun and others colluded with each other to frame their colleagues and subordinates, seize power in the county, control the county soldiers, appoint officials without authorization, and raise taxes without authorization, causing the people to live in dire straits, anger and resentment, and separation. imperial control , the intention of separatist kingship is really the most evil.

Wang Min, Kang Qin and others are now sentenced to be executed and the three clans will be punished.

Although He Chun is guilty, he reported that Wang Min, Kang Qin and others had meritorious service, and they were dismissed from their official positions and their property was confiscated. , dispatched to the Mobei Conflict Army, and other guilty persons who are coercive and accomplices will be punished."

Wang Min, Kang Qin and others were escorted to the stage again.

The soldiers held them down and knelt down facing the people in the audience.

A group of executioners walked onto the stage one after another holding a ghost-headed knife and stood behind each prisoner.

"The time has come" Liu Ye shouted.

Each of the executioners drank a bowl of wine and sprayed it on the blade, then raised the sword with both hands.

A loud shout of "cut" was heard, and a sign was dropped on the ground.

Blades of light flashed by, several heads rolled to the ground, and headless corpses fell to the ground spurting blood.

"Okay, good kill, good kill" "Oh my god, you finally opened your eyes."

The people who had been suppressing their emotions could no longer bear it.

They rushed to the high platform like a tide and divided and ate the bodies of Wang Min and others.

When the surrounding officials, generals, and soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but tremble all over and felt chills in their hearts.
