Chapter 264 Are You Convicted?

Chapter 264 Are You Convicted?

Changshan Prefecture is the capital city of Yanyun County and also the cultural and economic center of Yanyun County.

To the north is the Bailong River, the largest river in the north, to the west is the most excellent downwind port in Dazhou, and to the south is the Yanyun Mountains, with extremely convenient transportation and the most developed economy.

The reason why Wu Luolan didn't destroy this place was because when she approached the city, Zhizhou Liu Congshu and the local guard Feng Tianlong didn't make any resistance at all, they directly opened the city gate and led the officials and people to surrender.

He also sorted out the yellow book of household registration, the granary and the bank, and dedicated it to her.

No matter what you want us to do, Little Prince Moro, we will listen to you, but I only ask you one thing, don't harass our people.

Wu Luolan readily promised that apart from collecting all the silver in the treasury, she would not carry out any other forms of plundering.

There is another important reason for this, that is, the Ross people in Shunfeng Harbor put a lot of pressure on her, warning her that there are many Ross merchants and their families here, if you dare to act recklessly, don't blame us You're welcome!

Speaking of it, I have to thank the people of Ross.

Chen Jisheng directly led his troops into the Yamen of the state capital, and called all the officials to line up in the hall, with swords and axes on both sides to serve!

Ask everyone with a cold face if they are guilty?

"Lord Chen, I'm guilty of the crime!" Liu Congshu, the state official, came out and knelt on the ground. He was about forty years old, with a dark complexion and a haggard appearance. He knelt on the ground, his upper body straightened, and his expression was very calm.

"Lord Chen, I'm also convicted." A bearded general also came out and knelt behind Liu Congshu. He was guarding Feng Tianlong.

"Oh? You are actually convicted?" Chen Jisheng sneered, "Then let me ask you, as officials of the imperial court, if the enemy troops attack you, you open the city gate without any resistance and surrender to the enemy. What crime should you be guilty of?"

Do you still need to ask?

Naturally, it is a capital offense.

"Lord Chen, it is a capital offense to be an official, and I am willing to die! But at that time, there were only 500 guards in my city, and Prince Mo Luo personally led 10,000 cavalry to attack. May I ask Master Chen, if we resist desperately, what will be the result? "Liu Congshu knew he was going to die, so he simply said it happily before he died.

"Naturally, the city was destroyed! We are the officials ordered by the imperial court, so it is not a pity to die, but why are the people in this city dying? Before the Xianbo people attacked the city, they had stated that if they persisted in resisting, they would definitely kill after breaking the city. If you surrender, you can save the lives of the people in my city, I don't want to kill the people in the city for the sake of fame!"

"Master Chen, you are a good official and an upright official, that's why Lord Liu and I dare to tell you a few words from our heart, otherwise we wouldn't come to see you, so we committed suicide at home first! I only have five hundred soldiers in my hand No matter what, they can't stop Xianbo's 10,000 tigers and wolves, even if they all die in battle, it won't help, it will only harm the common people!" Feng Tianlong said.

"Master Chen, this matter is entirely my own idea. I ordered Feng Shoubei not to resist, and it has nothing to do with these colleagues. Please, Master Chen, don't embarrass them. All the crimes are my own. Whether it be cut in half or Ling Chi, I am willing to bear the burden!" Liu Cong said.

"Lord Chen, in fact, when the Xianbo cavalry just broke the border, Lord Liu and I both sent people to the court to ask for help, and sent more than a dozen urgent documents! But the emperor didn't send us a single soldier. One death, just let us serve the country with our bodies... Hehehe!" Feng Tianlong sneered.

"No one in Yanyun County is willing to come here. The reason why the officials and others are here is because we are all officials from the former dynasty of the Han Dynasty, and we have no choice at all! As for how Dazhou treats us Yanyun officials and people Yes, I can't finish those words, in short, I, Liu Congshu, would rather die for the people than die for the Great Zhou Kingdom!"

Liu Congshu also had the will to die, so he dared to say anything.

"Bold Liu Congshu! It's a great crime to despise the court and slander the king. I'm so mad!" Chen Jisheng protested, "Come on! Take off his official hat, demote him to three ranks, and punish him with three years' salary !"

"Yes!" The soldiers on both sides agreed loudly, rushed forward, took off Liu Congshu's official hat, and then they all froze on the spot...

What did Lord Chen say just now?

It seems that you didn't say you wanted to kill him, did you?

Liu Congshu also had a dazed look on his face. Seeing Mr. Chen jumping into a rage, he must be cut into pieces!

But what did he mean by demotion to the third level and a three-year salary penalty?

Feng Tianlong also wondered when he heard this, could Master Chen be suffering from some kind of cold on the road and have a fever?

Otherwise, how could it be possible to talk nonsense?

What Chen Jisheng said next made him even more incomprehensible.

"This Feng Tianlong is also guilty of unforgivable crimes. Come here, press me down and hit me with fifty big blows... Thirty... Forget it, I can hit ten hard blows, don't beat it in public, and don't take off your clothes, give me Let him save some face...Come on, let's send these ten boards, send him to..., send him to serve in Lin Yue's army!"

"Everyone, I won't punish you for now, just get out and do something!" Chen Jisheng was still angry, and waved all the officials out of the hall repeatedly.

Isn't that the end?

"Master Chen..." Liu Congshu was Zhang Er's monk, confused.

"The old man is so old, and the journey is tiring. As a Changshan state official, are you ready for the old man? In addition, the thousand soldiers led by General Lin Yue are still waiting outside the city. They don’t even have to eat hot food, do you want them to freeze to death while eating and sleeping in the open?” Chen Jisheng said with a dark face.

"Ah? This, this... I'm an official..." Liu Congshu was still eloquent just now, but now he was a little stuttered under the shock.

"Why can't you even do this? What use is the old man asking you for!" Chen Jisheng said angrily.

"I'll arrange it now!" Liu Congshu finally came to his senses, it turned out that Mr. Chen didn't intend to kill him at all.

But why?

Logically, they should have been killed, and they should have been executed everywhere.

If I knew that Master Chen would not kill me, then I would not have to let my wife and children flee to Shunfeng Harbor in advance...

"Master Chen, shall I go there too? I have hidden a lot of military supplies outside. There are 500 cowhide tents alone. They are brand new and unused, just for the brothers..." Feng Tianlong's head also Started to turn the corner.

"Go." Chen Jisheng couldn't help laughing.

"Yes! General Lin, please... a batch of seafood has just been shipped from Shunfeng Port, and I will arrange it for the brothers. I don't know if the big guys are used to eating it?" Feng Tianlong jumped up and respectfully invited his boss, Lin Yue. Please.

Just after narrowly escaping from death, he entered the role directly.

"These two are quite interesting." Ye Baiqing smiled and said.

"Well, the hearts of the people in Yanyun County are good, and the hearts of officials are also good. I'm afraid there are not a few officials like Liu Congshu. As long as we give a little guidance, they can be used by me in the future..." Chen Jisheng stroked his beard and smiled.

Everything feels good so far.
