Chapter 800 The person who caught the toast

Take Zhang Jiuli's two daughters-in-law, for example. They are all the daughters of the chieftain. In addition, he has two daughters who are married to the sons of the chieftain. Therefore, this guy can secure this position because of his relationship with the chieftain. The relationship is relatively good, why can’t the first two sit still?

It's just because of the bad relationship with the chieftain. It's hard to say whether he was involved in this matter. In general, when he was an official here a few times ago, the chieftain's army often went down the mountain to rob, but since he became this official , the chieftain's army rarely came out.

Of course, the chieftain's army rarely comes out, which does not mean that the life of the common people is easy. According to Li Xiang's investigation, this guy sends a certain amount of things to the mountains every year, and his family is also married to the chieftain. Look, He came here wanting to run this place into his own independent kingdom, but it was a pity that Li Xiang passed by and shattered his thoughts.

"Master Zhang is a smart man. The whole city is in turmoil right now, but Master Zhang's home is still very peaceful. Master Zhang should understand what I mean. I shouldn't need to spend too much time talking to smart people, right? ?”

Li Xiang did not enter the door. Instead, he sat down at the door and brought an imperial chair from the house. Zhang Jiuli and the others were kneeling at the door. This is the power gap. You are okay in front of the people, but if you encounter If you have a great-grandson like Li Xiang, then you can only kneel down honestly.

"Wei Chen understands that His Highness wants to eliminate the chieftains in the mountains in one fell swoop and restore peace and tranquility here."

What doesn't Zhang Jiuli understand? If it weren't for the good relationship between her and the chieftain, maybe the whole family would have been arrested on the first day. Now Li Xiang hasn't said anything about giving him a way to survive, so this guy can't make it too clear. He has to wait. Only after Li Xiang expresses his stance.

"You are right. I heard that you have a very good relationship with these toast masters. I don't care what kind of collusion you have with them. I just want to do one thing, and that is to wipe out them all and let the people inside We will set up an official office just like outside, and everything will be in accordance with the rules of the court. If you can help me achieve this goal, I will keep your family alive, but if you can't, you should know what I can do."

Regarding the territory of these chieftains, someone in the court also proposed that officials should be set up locally, but unfortunately they all live deep in the mountains and forests. If you want to give orders on their land, you have to subdue them no matter what. It would work, but we don't have the ability now. After Li Xiang learned about this situation, he just took this opportunity to give it a try to avoid leaving trouble for future generations.

After listening to Li Xiang's words, Zhang Jiuli did not say a word. Li Xiang's price had already been announced. Under the current situation, if he disagreed, the whole family would definitely be put to death, just because they committed the crime. For those crimes, even killing three times is not an exaggeration, but the question is how to help Li Xiang realize it? The chieftains in the mountains are very skilled.

"Wei Chen may not be able to do it."

After careful consideration, Zhang Jiuli shook his head. It's not that he doesn't want to live. His youngest grandson is not over one month old yet. Who doesn't want to live? But the problem is that the cost of lying to Li Xiang is too high. He can make you survive. You have to die, Li Xiang has done so many fatal things, and you want to trick him in the middle of applause. Zhang Jiuli thinks that he really doesn't have that ability.

"Yes, yes. After all, he is a capable person, and he also knows how to weigh the pros and cons. He has not made decisions without authorization because of the life and death of the whole family. Then I have my own ideas. As long as you cooperate, then I can spare your whole family. One life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the life penalty cannot be escaped. All the family assets are supermodels, and all personnel will be sent to Goguryeo."

There was no emotion in Li Xiang's cold voice. It was against Li Xiang's principles to give such people a chance to live. But in order to deal with these chieftains and for the livelihood of the people in the southwest, Li Xiang Like willing to compromise once.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."

Zhang Jiuli really shed tears at this time. When Li Xiang arrested people on the first day, he knew that the whole family might not be able to survive. Those people were slightly better off than he was, but they all The whole family suffered, and I was much worse off than those people. What reason could I have to let my family members survive? But today's words were spoken by Li Xiang himself, and Li Xiang's reputation was the best in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Then you do the first thing now. The chieftains also have their own messengers in Chengdu. On the first day I came, I sealed all the exits. I guarantee that no one can get out. Go, no one can send the message out, you can find all these people for me."

Li Xiang's first order came out. Although Zhang Jiuli didn't know all the people, he knew some of them, especially the contacts of several big chieftains.

"Wei Chen doesn't have many people at his disposal, so please, Your Highness..."

After Zhang Jiuli stood up, he thought that all his people had been arrested by Li Xiang. With the few people at home now, he might not be able to arrest them.

"Follow him on his errands, change into the clothes of his men, and try not to kill anyone."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, hundreds of guards immediately took off their armor, put on the clothes of Lord Zhang's men, and followed him to arrest people throughout the city.

When the arrests began on the first day in Chengdu, shops had already begun to close, and the people were staying at home. The streets were very chaotic, and no one dared to go out at this time, but the people soon discovered , it seems that the officers and soldiers only arrest officials and do not harass ordinary people like them. This matter has nothing to do with them, so many people are open to do business again.

The most important thing is that many people have also felt the change. In the past, if you opened your business, there would be too many people on the street asking you to collect protection fees. The government would have to collect one amount, and the gangsters on the street would have to collect one amount. But since these officers and soldiers wanted to arrest people, the person who collected the money could not be found.

Although the businessmen didn't know why they were arresting people, they did feel that their lives were easier. In the past, they had to spend twenty cents to send these people away, but now they put the twenty cents in their pockets. Although the amount It’s not much, but when you add up, you’ll make a lot of money in a year!
