Chapter 293: Hunting Jiangdong(2/2)
"Prefect of Jiujiang Zhou Ang." Zhou Ang replied himself.
"What about that guy over there?" Liu Qing pointed at the prison car with his whip.
"This person is the murderer of Balao, Chen Wen!" Zhou Xin said.
Liu Qing glanced at the prison car, and Chen Wen looked back at him. However, he neither quibbled nor even refuted. The dignified governor of the state seemed to have accepted his fate.
Chen Wen was really disheartened by this matter. He was originally a disciple of the Yuan family, but was later elected to Yangzhou as an official. When the Yuan family exerted influence on Yangzhou, Chen Wen was unparalleled for a while, but with the decline of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao died.
, Chen Wen also lost his support. At the same time, Chen Wen also lost his allies. The people who were originally standing with him suddenly attacked him under the cover of night and betrayed him.
The nobles are self-interested and will sell anything. It really cannot be believed!
Liu Qing moved his horse hooves a few steps, came to the prison car, and asked: "Did you really kill Ba Zhi?"
Chen Wen raised his head, glanced at Liu Qing expressionlessly, and said, "Ba Zhi has taken good care of me. Unfortunately, he stands in the way of my lord's great cause. To get rid of him, I am just following orders."
"Since you have confessed, Dian Wei, drag him down, behead him, and hang his head at the city gate to be displayed to the public for three days."
"Hahaha! I, Chen Wen, am not sorry to die, but my lord has failed to achieve his great cause!" Chen Wen threatened boldly, then looked at Brother Zhou Ang, and then said to Liu Qing: "Shameless villain, first you will be punished by Ba Zhi, and then you will be killed by me.
Chen Wen, if you use them, you will be betrayed by others sooner or later!"
Chen Wen's words shocked Zhou Ang and the two of them. They didn't expect that Chen Wen would be silent for a long time and bite back, which would be so fatal. If King Bohai listened to it, they might also...
Chen Wen was dragged away, and Liu Qing returned to Zhou Ang, looked at the nervous two people, and said: "No need to worry, since I have accepted the surrender, I will not kill him!"
With that said, Liu Qing waved his hand, and a dozen people behind him walked over and took away the state and county government seals, the household registration list, and the swords representing Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang.
"I hope you two surrendered in time and did not cause civil unrest, but the death penalty can be avoided..." Liu Qing paused, and both of them trembled.
"The official position will be cut off, and he will never be hired again for the rest of his life! The Zhou family in Kuaiji will confiscate all their land, and only keep some according to the standards of common people."
Zhou Xin felt bitter in his heart. As a result, his two brothers were equivalent to being demoted to common people. Fortunately, there was still a third brother. There was still a glimmer of hope for the future of the Zhou family. Zhou Xin once again lamented that he had not let Zhou
Zao also went to work for Yuan Shao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity. I will accept your order!" As he said that, Zhou Xin lowered his head.
Zhou Ang also followed Zhou Xin's actions to express his gratitude.
Liu Qing glanced at him, and a guard came forward to untie him. The two of them saluted Liu Qing again. Liu Qing ignored him and led his troops directly into the city.
Jin Ge's horse hoofs made a clicking sound on the bluestone-paved streets of Wanling. Liu Qing looked around, not wanting to think about the old governor he had never met before.
Unfortunately, Liu Qing was not able to hear this "little lord" with his own ears.
Chen Wen was beheaded, Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang surrendered, which represented the last resistance force in Yangzhou and had evacuated clearly. Next, Liu Yao came on stage to purge officials and develop farming. This is the land of plenty in the future, with full potential. One day during the great cold in the north,
At that time, support from the south may be needed.
This victory was a victory of intimidation. They captured a county in just one day, which undoubtedly set a new record.
The next step is to unite the three armies and march into Jingzhou.
