On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 104
"Ambassador! I wish that Zhang Ze, the history of A County, has twelve official millet stones hidden in his home! It is not from his salary!"

A cavalry pawn came from the city on horseback and shouted.

Cui Che glanced at Zhang Dianshi who was shaking like a sieve, and said lightly:
"kill!"

Zhang Ze couldn't even stand still, he collapsed on the ground and cried out:
"Ambassador, spare your life! This official is willing to double the refund, and I beg the ambassador to spare this official."

But Cui Che turned a deaf ear to it, and Zhang Ze was brought to the front of the high platform by two cavalry pawns like dragging a dead dog. Cavalry pawn Wang Qing raised the steel knife in his hand, and chopped it down towards Zhang Ze's neck.

"what!"

Zhang Ze suffered from pain and let out a shrill scream.

Zhang Wu, who was accompanying Cui Che, gave Wang Qing a hard look.

Wang Qing stuck out his tongue, thinking, this knife is too blunt.

It turned out that the knife did not directly cut off Zhang Ze's head, but got stuck on his neck.

"Be patient a little longer, and I'll give you a treat."

After all, Wang Qing pulled out the steel knife, and Zhang Ze let out another scream, but when Wang Qing slashed at the bloody cut on Zhang Ze's neck again, Zhang Ze finally fell silent.

A head rolled off the high platform, and the people below the stage burst into thunderous cheers. They picked up Zhang Ze's head and threw it like a hydrangea ball.

Seeing Zhang Ze's tragic situation, the county government servants and subordinates who were guarded by the side were all terrified. Huang Baiji's face was even more disastrous. If he had to beheaded for twelve stones of corn, wouldn't he be cut into pieces!

Huang Baiji wanted to resist, but Cui Che led three thousand cavalry to lead the formation, and grasped righteousness, all of his own people were restrained, and that majestic man named Zhang Wu also stood between him and Cui Che intentionally or unintentionally, arm in arm. The sword guard made it clear that he was letting himself violently hurt others.

"Report to the ambassador! I wish Li Fang, the inspector of A County, embezzled [-] stones of disaster relief food, the evidence of the crime is conclusive!"

Another cavalry hit the horse to report.

"kill!"

Cui Che's cold word determined a person's life and death without any hesitation.

He was originally a decisive character, otherwise he would not have insisted on eradicating the roots and killing Cui Lu's family back then.

"Cui Che! You will not end well if you kill indiscriminately! I will wait for you on Huangquan Road!"

Li Fang knew that he would not be spared, he struggled and screamed, and continued to yell at Cui Che, but his jaw was removed by the pawn Zhang Heng.

Dragging Li Fang to the front of the high platform, Zhang Heng said softly to Wang Qing:

"Let him hurt a little longer."

Wang Qing rolled his eyes back at him:
"I still need you to teach me, but I dare to speak harsh words to the Patriarch. It's not so easy to want to die."

Li Fang listened to the conversation between the two, his eyes widened with anger, but his jaw was removed, and his speech was also slurred. No one knew what he was talking about.

Under the eyes of everyone, Wang Qing slashed at Li Fang's neck seven times, and there was still a piece of flesh attached to his head, allowing his head to hang on his chest.

It wasn't until the eighth knife cut off the piece of flesh that Li Fang's head rolled down.

The audience erupted into enthusiastic cheers again. They didn't care how horrible Li Fang's death was. No matter how painful it was, could it hurt more than Yi Zixiangshi?
When the atmosphere was rising, a cavalry pawn ran onto the stage with an embarrassing expression on his face, and said in a low voice:
"Patriarch, the master named Wang was frightened to death."

Cui Che didn't take it seriously and said:
"It's okay, after we find out his criminal evidence, I'll bring it up and behead him again."

Huang Baiji, who eavesdropped with his ears pricked up, felt a thump in his heart, and begged in a crying voice:

"Ambassador Cui, you can't kill any more. If you continue to kill, there will be no one in the yamen to do business."

Cui Che looked at the cheering victims in the audience, and said with a smile:
"Aren't they human? They can always find a few who can read."

Hearing this, Huang Baiji was completely in despair. He just wanted to have a good time and finish the matter with one knife. Don't be like Li Fang who didn't know whether he was hacked to death or died of pain.

There were cavalrymen who beat horses from the city and came back. A subordinate official or servant was pushed to the high platform and beheaded. The cheers from the audience lasted for a long time.

When Wang Zhu Bo, who had already been frightened to death, was beheaded by Wang Qing, only Huang Baiji, who was ashamed of death, was left in the entire Zhu'a county government.

Soon, another cavalry came on horseback, but he didn't announce loudly, but stepped up to the high platform quickly and whispered to Cui Che.

Huang Baiji saw Cui Che looking at him, thinking that his death was imminent, but unexpectedly Cui Che abandoned him, instead stepped forward a few steps, walked to the front of the high platform, stepping on bloodstains, shouted:
"Huang Ming's mansion was deceived by a group of young people, so what happened today, fortunately, all those who were greedy for ink subdued the law.

"Later, the Huang Ming Mansion will reorganize the county government, select staff among you, and set up a porridge field outside the city to help the common people.

"Remember anyone who wants to find a job in the county government. Whoever tells the people of Zhu'a that they don't have enough to eat, I, Cui Che, will have his head chopped off!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the people in the audience cheered for joy, but even Huang Baiji felt that Cui Che was exuding holy light.

Huang Baiji knew clearly that his ass was not clean, he didn't think it was Cui Che who didn't dare to kill him.

Although he didn't know why the other party wanted to pick him out, but he could save his life, no matter what the reason was.

In fact, Cui Che had no other choice. He couldn't stay in Zhu'a County for long, so he killed Huang Baiji, whoever would take over the affairs of the county temporarily.

Cui Che is really short of people. Now that so many states and counties are affected by disasters, how can they know if there are Zhao Baiji and Li Baiji behind? If they really want to kill them all, Cui Che will not be able to find so many people to fill the hole.

This Huang Baiji, Cui Che somewhat understood, after all, Zhao Wen met Cui Che in advance.

Capable, spineless, and greedy.

Killing chickens to warn monkeys today, I will beat them later, I dare not say what will happen to Huang Baiji in the future, but at least in the short term, I don't have the guts to reach out again.

For the rest of Huang Baiji's life after the catastrophe, as Cui Che said, he reselected literate people from among the victims as subordinate servants. After arranging for them to set up a porridge field, he hurried back to the county seat. Cui Che was waiting for him in the official building of the county government.

"Huang Ming's Mansion is a good means. Cui used to work as a senior official in Jin Wang's Mansion, and his annual salary was only 960 shi. I never thought that the annual income of Huang Ming's Mansion was actually Cui's two years of hard work."

Cui Che flipped through an account book and said in amazement.

Huang Baiji's forehead was covered with sweat, and what Cui Che held in his hand was his account book that recorded every income.

Holding the handle in someone else's hands, and the other party has the power of life and death, Huang Baiji endured the heartache and said with a smile:

"The next official is willing to donate all the savings in his family to the ambassador."

Cui Che shook his head and said:

"A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Cui has no interest in this kind of ill-gotten wealth. If Huang Ming's mansion is interested, why don't they donate all the corn in the mansion to help the common people."

Huang Baiji felt relieved when he heard the words, fortunately it was only corn, and the rest of the floating wealth was left to him, so he quickly agreed, lest Cui Che would go back on his word:

"It should be like this! It should be like this! I'm an official tomorrow, no! Send people to transport all the corn in the house to the porridge market now."

Cui Che finally showed a smile when he saw him being so upbeat, and shouted outside the room:
"Zhao Wen!"

Zhao Wen responded with a brazier and entered the door. When the second monk Huang Baijizhang was puzzled, Cui Che threw the account book in his hand into the brazier.

　Also at night.

　　The Ming House refers to the prefect in the Han Dynasty, and the county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty. Considering that the Sui and Tang Dynasties are in the same line, the Ming House is called the county magistrate in the text.
