  Chapter 972 Murder and Punishment

  Wang Dao's heart was like being burned by fire, and the balance that had been provoked was completely tilted. After leaving Langya Prince's Mansion, he went home, retreated from the left and right sides, leaving only one confidant, and whispered: "Please Yuanli come here."

  Yuan Li has been with Director Wang for several months. If the girl hadn't said that Director Wang is talented and famous, and he could only win him over, he would have killed him long ago.

  Langya King lost the brains of Wang Dao, just like losing his right arm.

  The first time I met Director Wang and wanted to see him, Yuan Li's heart went up in an instant, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. It seems that being a lobbyist is not very difficult. Maybe he can also be a counselor?

  The thought was just a flash, Yuan Li still had self-knowledge about himself, he knew that Director Wang didn't like him, or even hated him, and he was willing to see him at this time, probably something happened.

  To be honest, up to now, Yuan Li still doesn’t understand why the girl let him come to Jiangnan. He can understand why she wanted him to set up an intelligence agency here, but she actually let him contact Director Wang.

  While Director Wang was making a choice, the Xun family in Yingchuan County was also making a choice.

  The Xun clan in Yingchuan is a big clan. Although their power is not as powerful as that of the Zhao clan in Xiping, they are still one of the largest clans. There are only a thousand people in Yingchuan County.

Among the descendants of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun Xiu is currently the most powerful one. After all, he holds a large army. There are more than 20 disciples in the family who follow him. Some of these twenty people are generals and soldiers. There are also things like doing paperwork and logistics.

Besides him, the Xun family currently has twenty-six children serving in the Zhao Group, twelve of whom are in Yingchuan County. The largest is a county magistrate, and the youngest is a county clerk. The next ones passed the recruitment examination and were appointed to various places.

The patriarch of the Xun family is fifty-six this year, and he heard two big news in one day. First, it was reported that Xun Xiu had rebelled in Meng County. The forces were eliminated, and Yingchuan County was completely controlled.

  He was not happy, he just felt terrified, and then he cursed Xun Xiu in his heart for being stupid, Yingchuan County was not worth mentioning in the whole Yuzhou, and he was caught in the middle, let alone the whole Central Plains.

  Now that Zhao Hanzhang is so powerful, where does he have the confidence to think that he can rebel?

The patriarch of the Xun family only had a sense of being overwhelmed, and before he had time to think of a countermeasure, the worse news came that Zhao Hanzhang's army returned to the court, and Xun Xiu's rebellion was quelled that day, and Xun Xiu had been thrown into prison. What Xun Xiu said was also passed on.

  In addition to this, there is another sentence, "Anyone who seeks the people for the sake of power will kill the family".

The county magistrate who came to convey Zhao Hanzhang's meaning carefully said to the chief Xun: "In addition to this sentence, the envoy also sent a number. In this rebellion, 1,369 people died in the Zhao family army, and the seven ranks of the court Twenty-three officials above, twelve generals, sixty-nine civilians died, 3,145 were seriously injured, and more than 4,000 were slightly injured..."

  He glanced at the head of the Xun family and said: "The Xun family army killed 1,792 people and seriously injured 3,298 people..."

  Patriarch Xun didn't move, but he seemed to be ten years older. He asked, "What does the envoy plan to do with the Xun family? He said he would give the Xun family a chance..."

  The county magistrate thought for a moment and said: "The envoy didn't say anything clearly, but she seemed to hate Xun Xiu impatiently. Wang Han, who tricked him into rebelling, was beheaded and sent by the envoy to King Langya in the south of the Yangtze River."

  He whispered: "There are many people in the Xun clan. If it is really the Zhu clan, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will be implicated. People like the patriarch who don't know the inside story are innocent after all. You are benevolent, so you are willing to give the Xun clan a chance."

   Patriarch Xun smiled wryly. This is not giving the Xun family a chance. This is to use the Xun family as a warning to the monkeys. There are many people in the family. Even if it is a rebellion, the whole family will be involved at most.

   Otherwise, the family would have been killed as early as the Eight Kings Rebellion and when Gou Xi was in power. There was a rebellion in Yi County, and Zhao Hanzhang did not kill the whole family, only the patriarch and the head of the household...

   Thoughts flashed by, Patriarch Xun was startled, and finally knew what Zhao Hanzhang meant.

   Patriarch Xun's waist collapsed in one fell swoop, as if his entire energy was taken away.

   Seeing that he finally realized something, the county magistrate stood up and retreated.

   Patriarch Xun sat by himself for a long time, and finally got up on his knees.

  His little grandson stumbled in from the outside, threw himself into his arms, giggled happily, and shouted vaguely: "Azu, Azu..."

   Shouting, drooling.

   Patriarch Xun burst into tears.

  He asked the county magistrate for help, and quickly made a decision. Xun Xiu's party and more than 20 people who followed him were all expelled from the family, and then escorted his family to Chen County.

   In addition, he was also ready to die.

  Zhao Hanzhang and the others had already returned to Chen County. When they saw the hundreds of people being escorted over, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she ordered them to be locked up together in the prison, next to Xun Xiu.

  Xun Xiu was stunned and angry when he knew that he had been expelled from the family, but even more angry than him were the relatives who were implicated by him. When they saw Xun Xiu, they couldn't help but insult him immediately.

  Xun Xiu rebelled, except for those who followed him, how many people in the family knew his decision to die?

  Ling Chi?

  In addition to deterring people, this special punishment is more frightening and breeds hatred and violence. She prefers to kill people.

  Killing the family is also a kind of torture in this era, just like the heart of the Lingchi people.

  Xun Xiu's father was still there. Seeing him in prison, he couldn't help cursing, and the cursing continued all the way to the execution ground.

  According to the law, Zhao Hanzhang implicated his father, women and children under the age of twelve were exempted, while the other males implicated were punished more severely than those implicated in Yi County. She directly punished them as military slaves.

   Unless you make great achievements, it is difficult to get rid of the status of a sin slave.

  These families were all expelled. The news spread all over the world. The nobles in the world first thought that the head of the Xun clan was afraid of death, so they succumbed to the power and expelled their clansmen;

  Then he felt a chill in his heart, trembling with fear, Zhao Hanzhang was really ruthless, murdering people, not only wanting to kill Xun Xiu, but also making him restless after death.

  That’s right, in the eyes of today’s people, the excommunicated people are also lonely ghosts after death, and they will never have peace.

Xun Xiu also knew this, especially when he was scolded by his father. After knowing that his father was implicated by him, he struggled violently and shouted to the surroundings: "I want to see the envoy, I want to see Zhao Hanzhang !"

   "My lord, girl, I have made military exploits. If there is no credit, there will be hard work. I did something wrong this time, and I am willing to die, but you can't force the Xun family to let me get rid of the family, you can't..."

Before he finished speaking, stones and clods were thrown at him from all directions, and the onlookers cursed, "You killed my elder brother. After you die, you will go to the 18th floor of hell. It's good to exterminate the family. When you get to the ground, you will die." And without the shade of ancestors..."

  Everyone started to curse.
