Although this bearded man has never seen Zhu Youxiao, he is influenced by the newspaper and knows how the emperor and the people around the emperor are dressed.Therefore, when the bearded man saw this scene, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then his knees consciously softened, and he knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao and others.The other young men in the area also knelt down.Only for a moment.These people who were still bandits one second and fierce and vicious will become docile people in the next second.For example, today's great governance, coupled with the most noble concept of the Son of Heaven, has long been deeply rooted in his heart, not to mention, Zhu Youxiao has also been exempted from the world's Tianfu forever, so Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, is still very prestigious among the people.And now, as soon as these people saw that they were the emperor, they naturally immediately changed their appearances."
What's your name, where are you from?"
Zhu Youxiao therefore asked the bearded man in front of him.The big man replied: "Ge Da Niu, a native of Gejia Village in Lake Umeda. ”"Then tell me, are you bandits or ordinary people?"
Zhu Youxiao continued to ask."
Ordinary people!"
Ge Daniu replied.Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Since you are a common man, why do you block the road here to collect fees, and even dare to kill us if we don't pay, why do I sound like a bandit?"
”"It's just a livelihood."
Ge Daniu replied."
Making a living?"
Zhu Youxiao sneered.Ge Daniu replied with some fear: "If you go back to your old man's house in the emperor, we people usually don't have much to do except when we are busy with farming, so we want to make more money, so we form a gang and collect some tolls, transportation fees or something." ”"And the handling fee?"
Zhu Youxiao asked."
Yes, after the merchant traveler pays the toll, because there are many goods, we need to help carry them, or if they use a sliding pole to carry people, we also have to charge some money."
Ge Daniu replied and said: "It's just that I didn't expect it to be the emperor, if I had known, we wouldn't have charged you tolls." ”"You charge transportation fees and carry sliding poles to collect money, which is considered labor payment, which is understandable, but you block the road to charge, this is a robbery, does your government here care?"
Zhu Youxiao asked."
The officials can't control it, and after their people come down, we all withdraw."
Ge Daniu replied.After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao naturally understood.But at the same time, Zhu Youxiao also found himself encountering a problem.How to deal with this kind of village-wide lawbreaker, and how to avoid it.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao asked Wen Tiren and Lu Xiangsheng: "What do you think should be done with this matter?"
”"Go to Huarong County first, let the local county government deal with it, if the county government is not strong enough, we can temporarily transfer people to them, and the county government will take people directly, but in any case, since they have committed crimes, they can't help but deal with them."
Lu Xiangsheng replied."
Is this a suspicion of not being taught?
These people are obviously weak in legal awareness, and they don't realize what harm it will be to be a bandit, why not educate them first, not to mention, in essence, they are local farmers, if they are disposed of according to the bandits, and directly get rid of them all, it will only lead to no one cultivating in this area, and there will be a bunch of orphans and widows left. ”Wen Tiren said."
Dealing with stubborn bandits, wandering around the locality, and endangering the people, according to the laws and regulations set by the Emperor, all of them will be beheaded, but it is not easy to deal with the bandits and the people, so that the few who take the initiative to block the road will be regarded as the main culprits, and they must be escorted away, and they will be imprisoned by the county government to be beheaded!
They are considered direct participants, and they cannot but kill!
The others can be regarded as ignorant and will not be dealt with for the time being, but they have to say cruel words in advance, if they resist stubbornly, it will kill the whole village!
”Zhu Youxiao said next.So, next, Yang Tinglin came over and said to Ge Daniu: "The state has the king's law, the family has additional rules, you block the road to collect fees, you have violated the national law, and you should be classified as banditry, you Ge Daniu and the few people who were sitting in the pergola just now belong to the main culprits who directly carried out the banditry behavior, and now you need to go with us to the county government to surrender, which will reduce the punishment!"
The rest of you, even if you don't know the laws and regulations, and only care about family affection and become accomplices, and you have not yet had time to commit the murder, so you will not be held accountable!
But in the future, if you dare to block the road like this and ask for money, threatening the lives of the merchants, when the time comes, don't blame Wang Fa for being ruthless!
”Yang Tinglin said and said: "In addition, don't think about stubborn resistance, if this is the case, the nature will change, it is disobedience, it is rebellion, and the whole village will be killed!"
”After Yang Tinglin finished shouting, he looked at Ge Da Niu: "Ge Da Niu, are you willing to be escorted to the county government to surrender?"
”Ge Daniu asked: "After I turn myself in, will I be exempted from my crimes?"
”Zhu Youxiao replied for Yang Tinglin at this time: "It depends on how your county order is judged, but no matter what your county order does, you all have to go to the county government to surrender now." ”"If I can't be pardoned, I won't go!"
Ge Daniu replied.Zhu Youxiao let out a very serious "um" and asked, "Do you want your whole village to die with you?!"
”"Your Majesty, aren't you a good emperor, you don't even charge Tian Fu, what do we have to collect some tolls, it's a big deal, we won't collect it in the future!"
Ge Da Niu replied aggrievedly."
It's not a question of whether you can collect it in the future, but you have already done so, you have violated the law of the country, and you can't help but deal with it if you violate the law of the country!"
Zhu Youxiao replied loudly.Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Take these people away!"
”"Yes!"
A group of officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion came over as a result.Seeing this, Ge Daniu didn't know whether he should resist or not, and he began to realize in his heart that he seemed to be violating the king's law, but he was worried that he would be punished by the emperor in the future, so he seemed to be at a loss for a while."
We're just taking a few of them now, but if you dare to resist, you'll take away your entire village."
At this time, Zhu Youxiao saw that the other villagers were a little restless, especially when some of Ge Daniu's relatives saw that Ge Daniu was controlled by Yu Linwei's people, and some of them were already angry and about to rush over, so they also shouted a few words loudly.The villagers were quiet, and even those who were restless were hugged by the calm villagers.Next, Ge Daniu and several other main criminals who blocked the road and extorted tolls were escorted to Huarong County by Zhu Youxiao's people.Wu Guofu of Huarong Zhixian County was quite surprised when he knew that the emperor had come to his county seat.But Wu Guofu has always been a strange person with a very different temperament, otherwise he would not have been put in Huarong County, which is not particularly good, to be the magistrate."
What is Your Majesty doing in Huarong County suddenly!
Isn't this disturbing the peace of the government and the people?!
”Wu Guofu said this impatiently at this time.But in any case, he also knew that the emperor was coming, and he still had to greet him.So, when he came to Zhu Youxiao, he still rushed to meet him outside the city, but as a result, he saw Ge Daniu and others being arrested.Therefore, after Wu Guofu saluted Zhu Youxiao, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, you have made a mistake!"
