In the lobby of Ziyang County, blazing torches illuminated the lobby of this county as if it were daytime. Since Tian Shizhen's health has been poor, since Tian Shizhen took over Ziyang County, the county has been almost useless.

But today, this county government office, which has not been used for a long time, is once again full of people and bustling.

"Magistrate Tian has arrived." Following a loud shout, Tian Shizhen sat on a soft sedan carried by four people and was carried directly to the lobby.

The gentry who were invited around were talking a lot, and many of them who were acquaintances even went up to ask about Tian Shizhen's situation. But more people were talking about it, and Tian Shizhen was showing off.

for what.

Tian Shizhen was able to reach this position today, but in his heart, he still regarded himself as a squire of Ziyang County. If his son hadn't done such a thing, he would never have rebelled. Therefore, Tian Shizhen

No matter what he does, he always pays attention to being upright, which is the main reason why Tian Shizhen is so loved by others.

"Are you all here?" Tian Shizhen pretended to be energetic and tried his best to give people a feeling that the power of the tiger is still there.

Zhao Hongfan came to his side and whispered: "Master, everyone is here."

"In that case, let's get started." Tian Shizhen's cloudy eyes scanned the gentry present. Wherever Tian Shizhen looked, no one looked at him.

Zhao Hongfan nodded, then stood up, stood in front of Tian Shizhen, looked at the many squires and said: "You are all squires of my Ziyang County, and my Ziyang Tian family will prosper and suffer. The Tian family will prosper, you will prosper, and the Tian family will perish.

You guys are no better.

Now that Ziyang County has suffered such a catastrophe, it is a crucial moment for the gentry and people of Ziyang County to work together to overcome the difficulties.

However, there is one family that, regardless of everyone's life and death, actually attempts to sell Ziyang County to the Pei family army outside the city as a way to get started, what do you think we should do with people like this?"

What, there is such a traitor in Ziyang County? Hearing Zhao Hongfan say this, there was an uproar in the county government office.

These people didn't have any feelings for the Tian family, but the Tian family had been really good to them since they came to power. Not only did they give them most of the land near Ziyang County, but they also exempted them from taxes and corvee with a stroke of a pen.

Not only that, Tian Shizhen is essentially one of them and is closer to them.

On the other hand, the Pei family's army is simply synonymous with "cruelty and cruelty". They have long heard that since the Pei family's army occupied Yunyang, the gentry and wealthy families in Yunyang have suffered a disaster.

One tax is comparable to the violent Qin Dynasty.

Even for fields that have never paid taxes, some people went to the fields to measure them on the spot, apparently in preparation for collecting field taxes.

How can this be possible? We need to know who they are? They are scholars, scholars, scholars, scholars with status and reputation, and the cornerstone of the imperial court. How can they pay taxes like those farmers who dig in the soil?

?Where is the face of a scholar? Where is the preferential treatment? Where is the elegance?

Therefore, the Pei family army cannot be allowed to enter Ziyang under any circumstances.

And now Zhao Hongfan told them that someone actually used their politeness and respectability as a bargaining chip to advance his career. How could this not make them feel extremely angry?

"General Zhao, who exactly did this unkind and unjust act? We should find him and cut him into pieces."

"Yes, find him and cut him into pieces." In the lobby, the crowd was so excited that they wished they could eat his flesh and chew his bones.

Tian Shizhen has been watching with cold eyes. Now he feels that his body is getting heavier and heavier. Even people who have been dead for many years in the past have appeared in his dreams more and more frequently in the past two days. Tian Shizhen understands that this is the end.

It was a sign, so even though he did it hastily and roughly, he still couldn't wait to put the Han family to death.

Zhao Hongfan glanced at Tian Shizhen, and after seeing the latter nodding calmly, he turned around and said, "Bring those traitors up."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of soldiers came in, pressing down on Han Zhiliang and the soldier who had escaped from the city.

Han Zhiliang's mouth was blocked with a piece of rag, and he was unable to speak. He just stared at Tian Shizhen who had his eyes closed to rest, as if his eyes could burst into flames at any time.

Zhao Hongfan walked up to Han Zhiliang, looked at Han Zhiliang who was glaring shamelessly, reached out and took out the rag that was blocked from the mouth of the fleeing soldier.

"Confess what you have done truthfully, and maybe you gentlemen can spare your life." Zhao Hongfan said coldly.

"Yes, yes, recruit all the villains, recruit them all." The deserter was so frightened that he did not dare to look at Han Zhiliang's cannibalistic eyes. He stammered the instructions of Han Zhiliang and the chief servant Ding, and what he had done.

What and why, I told him everything in detail.

Before the deserter finished speaking, he only mentioned that he had gone to the Pei family's army to negotiate for surrender, when he was interrupted by the surrounding squires.

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, the squires all jumped up and petitioned Han Zhiliang one after another: "Master Tian, ​​I never expected that this Han family would be so ambitious and betray tens of thousands of people in Ziyang County.

Why are the people angry if we don’t kill the people?”

"That is, we know people but not their hearts. We are all in Ziyang County. We look up but don't see each other when we look down. We never thought that this person would not even care about the feelings of the village. What's the use of keeping such a person?"

"Master Tian, ​​kill this thief"

Seeing everyone petitioning one after another, Tian Shizhen's face finally showed some waves.

Looking at Han Zhiliang kneeling on the ground and struggling in front of him, Tian Shizhen couldn't help but feel a little pleasure.

When you, the Han family, plotted against my Feng'er and made my Feng'er disobey my orders, which led to Feng'er's death, do you have any regrets now? Did you ever think that such a day would come to you?

If you plot to kill my Feng'er, I will not only make your whole family pay for their lives, but I will also make your reputation ruined and you will be infamy for thousands of years.

The joy in his heart made Tian Shizhen's cheeks blush unnaturally. Now his original strength returned to his body little by little. He straightened up from the soft sedan with difficulty, and his cloudy eyes glanced around for a week again.

When the surrounding squires were caught by those eyes, they felt as if a poisonous snake was secretly watching them, waiting for an opportunity to move. They were so frightened that they stopped talking.

"I never expected that Han Zhiliang would do such a crazy thing." Tian Shizhen said word by word with great difficulty, "I am guilty and have betrayed your trust."

After Tian Shizhen finished speaking, a squire stood up and wanted to defend Tian Shizhen, but Tian Shizhen raised his hand to stop him.

Tian Shizhen continued: "In order to forgive my sins, I am willing to donate all the Tian family's property as punishment."

In the lobby, the squires were startled and thought they heard wrongly. You must know that fields are the lifeblood of wealthy squire families. Even if they died, they would not want to see their family's fields reduced by even one acre. But Tian Shizhen said lightly

Then, he actually donated thousands of acres of fertile land in his family. This, this is no longer bloodletting, this is simply more painful than cutting flesh.

"As for you." Tian Shizhen looked at Han Zhiliang, who was kneeling on the ground and begging, "How do you think you should deal with this person?"

Originally, all the squires thought that they would understand it by executing Han Zhiliang, the instigator, and driving the Han family out of Ziyang. However, Tian Shizhen made an oversight and was punished and bankrupted, so it would be obvious to execute Han Zhiliang again.

It doesn't fit very well, some are too light.

Seeing that everyone was hesitating and unable to speak, Tian Shizhen said for them: "Forget it, let me be the villain. I want to kill the entire Han family. Do you have any objections?"

"It all depends on the arrangement of the Tian family leader." The squires were trembling and did not dare to object at all.

"In this case, then give me an order to kill all the Han family members. No chickens or dogs will be left alive."

Zhao Hongfan had already arrested the Han family, a total of 813 people, old and young, and detained them outside the Yamen. After hearing Tian Shizhen's order, Zhao Hongfan clasped his hands in his fists and said loudly: "The last general respects your order." Then he slowly retreated.

go out.

Outside the door, the executioner, who was a soldier, was already ready. When he saw Zhao Hongfan coming out, his eyes immediately fell on him.

"The master of the house has an order, kill him!!!"
