After capturing all these people, Liu He did not take them to the prison. Instead, he took Gao Mang and others into the city and made them kneel on the street under the city gate. The other more than a thousand

People were kneeling on both sides of the street.

At the same time, Liu He also asked Guan Yu and Cheng Liang to capture all the important members of the major families in Langtiao County who had been captured before, and they also enjoyed the same treatment.

When Gao Mang saw the head of the Hong family, his own in-laws, he couldn't help but curse even though his hands were tied.

"You old guy, my Gao family can't tolerate you, and even colluded with Liu He's son to frame me!"

The head of the Hong family also looked aggrieved.

"Hey, my father-in-law, if I really colluded with him to harm you, would my family still be tied up here like you? This is all Liu He's treacherous plan!"

"Yes, my father-in-law, those are Liu He, the traitor, who forced my father to write a letter for help. If we don't obey, he will punch and kick us and deny us food!"

Gao Mang was furious: "You bastard! He forced you, and you just listened to him and harmed me? My Gao family has supported your Hong family all these years, and this is how you repay me! You can't blame me for my miserable life.

If your daughter leaves just a few years after getting married, you must be very angry!"

When Hong's eldest son saw how angry his father-in-law was, he was afraid that he would pounce on him and bite him, so he couldn't help but shrink back and mutter something in his mouth.

"Who knew you were so useless? You brag about how powerful you are on weekdays. I thought you could really save us when you came, but I didn't expect you couldn't beat him..."

"What! You brat, you've rebelled against me, I...I'll bite you to death!"

Gao Mang was so angry that he pounced on his useless son-in-law.

"What are you doing! You are already about to die, why are you still arguing here!"

A soldier from the Anmin Army forcibly separated them.

Another family head in Yu County seemed to understand the key point of this sentence, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"You...you actually want to kill us? How dare you!"

"Do you know who we are! We control everything in Langtiao County and Yu County, how dare you do this to us!"

At this time Liu He heard the noise and came over.

"You're wrong. That was in the past. From now on, those of you who were able to dominate the people in the past and even dared to collude with the traitors and rebels if something goes wrong are nothing anymore.

.”

"Presumptuous! Do you know who I am? Do you know my family and..."

Before the family leader could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu He.

"That's enough! I don't want to hear about your family head's relationship with those families. How powerful you are! I only know one thing!"

Liu He turned around and looked at the many people who had gathered around to find out.

"I, Mr. Liu, only know that the state has national laws, and your family holds local power and controls a large amount of land, but has no thought of serving the country. It only knows how to act arrogantly, exploit the people, enrich themselves with public wealth, and often bully the weak and put the lives of the people at risk."

He treated them like nothing, took countless innocent lives on their hands, and committed numerous crimes!"

"Even so, you are not satisfied! Now you dare to collude with Taiping Dao and conspire with the traitor Zhang Jiao to usurp the throne. Such a crime is so obvious that heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

"good!"

"Mr. Liu said it well!"

"These evil thieves should all be killed!"

"My ancestral home was taken away by the Liang family!"

"My miserable daughter was taken home by the second son of the Hong family, and she was tortured to death!"

"Those in Yu County are not good people either. My nephew who lives in Yu County was working as a handyman in his Gao family. As a result, he beat a young man to death because he was in a bad mood..."

Seeing the "untouchables" around them who they had dismissed in the past, now they dared to curse and even spit at themselves, the people of these families were extremely angry. They just wanted to retaliate, but they were used by the Anmin army around them.

The weapon was pointed at him to intimidate him, and he finally opened his mouth without daring to make a sound. His veins bulged from the pressure and his face turned red.

Liu He saw that the people had almost vented their anger, so he waved his hand and pressed softly, and the scene soon became quiet.

He walked up to these family members and waved, and Zhang Yong came over with a few things.

"You, all of you, have oppressed the people, disregarded human lives, and are now planning to rebel. We have the messages and letters from the Taiping Dao envoys, as well as the confessions of the masters themselves. The evidence is conclusive, so what else can we say!"

Those family heads really wanted to say a few words, but first of all, this matter was really indefensible, and secondly, the soldiers of the Anmin Army were staring at them with weapons in hand, and they didn't dare to mention it even if they had something to say.

Obviously this result is what Liu He wants.

"Okay, since you yourself have nothing to say, then this county will pronounce the verdict!"

"You are disloyal to the country and unkind to the people. Your crimes are heinous and unforgivable! Everyone will be executed on the spot to serve as a warning to others!"

All the family heads turned pale with shock.

"How dare you, surnamed Liu..."

"County Magistrate Liu, I know I was wrong. I will definitely change my ways in the future. Spare my life..."

Liu He was too lazy to argue with them anymore and waved his hand.

"Execution!"

The Anmin Army soldiers beside them raised their swords and in the blink of an eye, their heads rolled down.

This scene made the surrounding people clap their hands and cheered, and frightened the more than a thousand Yuxian soldiers kneeling on both sides. Many of them collapsed to the ground in fright.

Liu He looked at them randomly.

"As for you..."

After just four words were said, some people immediately kowtowed.

"My Lord, please have mercy on me! We were also coerced by that Gao Mang. We did not intend to go against you! My Lord, please have mercy on us!"

"Sir, please spare my life! We will definitely change our past mistakes in the future!"

"We are just trying to support our family. We really have no choice!"

More than a thousand old men cried in unison, and I don't know how many of them were sincerely repentant and how many were just pretending.

Liu He said to Zhang Yong: "Let's handle everything as before."

When these more than a thousand people heard "Just do it as before," they thought it meant they were chopped down in the street like the many family owners, and some of them fainted on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong sent someone over and took them all to the school grounds. Then without any explanation, he registered them on the roster and entered them into the Anmin Army's military membership.

Although some of them are not very happy to stay in the Anmin Army. After all, everyone has heard that the Anmin Army has strict military discipline, but thinking about it, it is better than beheading, so no one raised any objections, and the vast majority of people

I feel extremely lucky to have survived the disaster.

When Zhang Yong said that they could also enjoy the food and salary benefits of the Anmin Army in the future, the only group of people who were not very happy also turned from worry to joy.

You know, the food and salary benefits of the Anmin Army are much higher than those given by the Gao family! Not only did the Gao family not have subsidies, they also often deducted and defaulted on the food and salary that should have been paid. Now that they can enjoy better treatment

, then it’s different who you work for? Even if the training is stricter, it doesn’t matter.

After finishing all this, Liu He ordered Guan Yu, Cheng Liang, Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye, and Ye Xiang to lead an army of three thousand at the same time and march into Yu County, leaving himself and Cui Jun to defend the city.

The battle in Yu County was led by the Gao family, followed by three other powerful families, which took away almost 70% to 80% of the armed forces in the county. The remaining family private soldiers and several retainers of small and medium-sized families guarded them.

In front of the Anmin Army, he was completely vulnerable.

Guan Yu and others hardly used any force, they just scared open the city gate of Yu County. Without any hesitation, they directly occupied the county government and blocked the four city gates.

Every family was arrested and their property confiscated.

Such a thunderous momentum frightened several other small families so much that they did not dare to have any objections and donated large amounts of money and food in order to seek peace.

Suddenly, Liu He made a lot of money.

The day after he took control of Yu County, early in the morning, Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was sorting out the memorials submitted by various counties and counties, preparing to send them to Luoyang and submit them to the emperor.

"Huh? This little magistrate of Langtiao County can actually be so capable, and his methods are not weak. He can be regarded as a person."

Zhang Yi looked at a memorial and became more and more frightened.

He was not interested in how Liu He rose to power from a commoner and how he conquered Yu County. For him, the governor of Bingzhou, the affairs of a few small families in two counties were nothing to worry about.

In his eyes, everyone is only divided into those who are useful to him and those who are not.

"Those small and powerful families deserve to be unlucky. However, they have made this touchstone to test Liu He's quality. Now that the Yellow Turban is on the rise, if this person can be used wisely, he may become a

I have the opportunity to make great achievements in this chaos..."

Just when he was looking at these recommendation seals and thinking full of thoughts, someone walked in from the door.

"Sir, there is someone outside the house asking to see you. He claims to be Mr. Wang Yun's nephew, named Wang Chen."

Governor Zhang looked happy and quickly put down the recommendation seal in his hand.

"Oh? Nephew Wang Chenxian is here? It has been several years since he was transferred to Luoyang by Senior Brother Zi. I didn't expect to come back today. I received news yesterday that Senior Brother Zi was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou and went to pacify the Yellow Turban rebels in Yuzhou. I thought
Chapter completed!
