Under Song Hu's order, the high platform was quickly built.

Song Hu was sitting on the high platform, with his personal guards standing on both sides of him, looking like an official interrogating prisoners in a yamen.

There is a table in front of Song Hu, and a piece of gavel is placed on the table.

"You, come up and talk, and this Wu Youdao, come up with me." Song Hu was stunned and looked at the middle-aged man and Wu Youdao.

Wu Youdao had ten thousand unwillingnesses in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't help it.

After a while, the middle-aged man and Wu Youdao walked onto the high platform.

Song Hu looked at Wu Youdao, clapped the gavel in his hand, and asked, "Wu Youdao, what do you have to say now?"

Wu Youdao knelt on the ground in panic, "Sir, a villain has many wives and concubines in his house, how can he fall in love with a little country girl? This old man is slandering the villain."

Song Hu looked at the middle-aged man, "He said you were slandering him. Do you have any evidence to prove that you were not slandering him?"

The middle-aged man looked at Wu Youdao with an angry look and said with a stern expression, "Sir, I definitely did not slander Wu Youdao. Who Wu Youdao is is obvious to all in Daizhou City.

If the Wang family in the city is the number one villain, then this Wu Youdao is the number two villain. A villain dare not deceive an adult, as all the villain's neighbors can testify."

"Where are your neighbors? Let them come up." Song Hu said.

"The villain's neighbors are below now. Please allow me to call the villain's neighbors up." The middle-aged man nodded respectfully to Song Hu and looked at Song Hu expectantly.

Song Hu nodded, "You can find them."

"Sir, we can't look for it. We can't look for it. These people must be colluding. They must be interested in my family's property and colluded deliberately. Sir, that's not possible." Wu Youdao started to panic, and he had a panic look on his face.

Start shouting.

What Wu Youdao had done in Daizhou City over the years was unclear to others, but he knew it clearly. If he asked those people to get out of the way, he would really be dead.

Song Hu suddenly clapped the gavel in his hand and shouted: "Hmph, what you said is interesting. You said that these people have agreed to take your family's property, so why don't they take other people's property instead of taking it?

Is it yours? Shut up now. If you dare to disturb the court again, I will reward you with dozens of military sticks."

Wu Youdao looked at Song Hu's ferocious look, closed his mouth tremblingly, and his body began to tremble.

Wu Youdao's heart was filled with emptiness. He didn't know how many yellow-flowered girls he had harmed in Daizhou over the years, because they only harmed ordinary people, so these people had no choice but to look at things like this today.

Good.

Cold sweat began to flow from Wu Youdao's forehead. He kept looking down, praying in his heart that the neighbors would not come up.

However, things went against expectations. Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man's neighbors climbed onto the high platform together, a total of twenty people.

"Sir, these people are my neighbors." The middle-aged man looked at Song Hu and pointed at the crowd behind him.

Song Hu nodded, looked at the neighbors, and asked in a deep voice: "Is what he said just now true? I hope you can answer truthfully."

A woman stood up. She stood in front of the middle-aged man and said, "Sir, what Song Laosan said is true. The body of Song Laosan's daughter was buried with the help of civilian women."

"Sir, this Wu Youdao is a well-known bully in Daizhou City. Although he is not as good as the Wang family, he is still very harmful to others. He has done so many bad things in Daizhou City that no one dares to hold a wedding when the eldest daughter of any family gets married.

.If someone holds a wedding and Wu Youdao finds out about it, then the innocence of this young girl will definitely be at stake."

"Yes, this Wu Youdao is a bad guy with sores on his head and pus on his feet. He is so lecherous that even the average daughter in the city would not dare to go out. If Wu Youdao catches his eye, it will be terrible."

Song Laosan's neighbors started talking about each other, accusing Wu Youdao of his evil deeds.

Not only Song Laosan's neighbors, but also the people below began to curse Wu Youdao.

"Wu Youdao is just like a pig and a dog. Sir, beat him to death."

"Beat Wu Youdao to death, beat Wu Youdao to death!"

Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing could be heard incessantly.

Wu Youdao knelt on the high platform and looked at the menacing appearance of the people behind him. He was sweating profusely and his body was trembling.

"You are farting, you are farting!" Wu Youdao pointed at Song Laosan and Song Laosan's neighbors on the high platform, and cursed guiltily.

When Song Hu saw this, he also understood. This Wu Youdao was indeed an evil gentry and bully, otherwise it would not have caused public outrage.

Song Hu clapped the gavel in his hand, and the people below hurriedly closed their mouths.

Song Hu stood up and looked at the people: "I already understand what happened about Wu Youdao. This Wu Youdao is an evil gentry with a record of evil deeds, and he is really a heinous person.

Regarding the various crimes Wu Youdao committed, I decided to make the following sentence against Wu Youdao. Wu Youdao preyed on the people and did not respect the law, so he was sentenced to death by firing squad.

All of Wu Youdao’s property was also confiscated and all of Wu Youdao’s property was compensated to the victim’s family.

As for Wu Youdao's family members, all his servants have been dispersed on the spot, and I have taken away his immediate family members for labor education. Fellow villagers, what is my verdict?"

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise." When the people heard this verdict, they all cheered excitedly.

At this point, Wu Youdao, who had been running rampant in Daizhou City for more than ten years, was finally eradicated. These people were finally proud and proud, and all the grievances they had suffered over the years disappeared at this moment.

"Come here, pull Wu Youdao down and shoot him." Song Hu pointed at Wu Youdao, who was lying on the ground like a pile of mud, and shouted loudly.

"Follow your orders!" The guards standing on both sides came out, picked up Wu Youdao, who was lying softly on the ground, and walked to the bottom of the high platform.

A moment later, several gunshots rang out, and Wu Youdao was executed by Ming Zhengdian.

As things progressed, the sky gradually became dark. Song Hu looked at the darkened night sky and shouted to the people below: "Fellow folks, it's getting late now. You should go back to sleep. Tonight, my men

Soldiers will be patrolling the city, so you don’t have to be afraid.”

Under Song Hu's earnest persuasion, the people gathered together retreated one after another.

After all the people left, Song Hu pointed at the defeated soldiers and said, "I will imprison all these defeated soldiers and take them back early tomorrow morning."

"Follow your orders!" The soldiers guarding the defeated soldiers clasped their fists at Song Hu and escorted the defeated soldiers to Zhenwuwei's camp in the city.

Zhenwuwei's camp was large enough to hold these people.

All the soldiers and horses led by Song Hu were stationed in Daizhou City.

"Sir, the Commander-in-Chief has come to give orders."

Song Hu was sitting in the tent when a messenger rushed in.

Song Hu looked at the ordering soldier and asked, "What is the order from the Commander-in-Chief?"

The ordering soldier took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Song Hu. "My lord, the commander-in-chief has asked your lord, in addition to the soldiers left behind in Daizhou City, to lead troops and horses and carry prisoners back to Yanmen Pass in time tomorrow."

Song Hu opened the bamboo tube, checked the paint, and then opened the bamboo tube. After opening it, Song Hu took out the documents inside and read them carefully.

After reading it, Song Hu placed the bamboo tube and the documents inside on the table, and waved his hand to the messenger. "I understand, you go down and rest first."

Watching the soldiers leaving, Song Hu set his sights on military counselor Liu Xunchun, "Mr. Liu, the commander-in-chief intends to keep you here to preside over the affairs of Daizhou City. What do you think?"

Liu Xunchun sat in the seat below Song Hu. He smiled and said: "Since it is the order of the Commander-in-Chief, I will naturally obey it!"

"Well, this is the order from the Commander-in-Chief, please take a look." Song Hu said and handed the document in the bamboo tube to Liu Xuchun.

Liu Xunchun took the document and read it carefully.

The content of the document was very simple. In addition to asking Song Hu to lead troops to escort the prisoners to Yanmen Pass, Liu Xunchun was asked to lead a thousand troops to station in Daizhou City.

The document also said that when Liu Xunchun was stationed in Daizhou City, he would start cleaning up the bullies and evil gentry in Daizhou City, distribute land to the people who had no land, and at the same time maintain the security of Daizhou City.

Of course, all this is only temporary. After Zhao Wen takes all of Shanxi into his hands, he will send officials again.

At present, Liu Xunchun's most important task is to ensure the stability of Daizhou City and at the same time hold Daizhou City firmly in his hands.

…

When it got brighter the next day, Song Hu left a thousand households for Liu Xunchun, and then led the remaining troops to escort the prisoners to Yanmen Pass.

At noon, Song Hu finally arrived at Yanmen Pass.

"grown ups!"

Song Hu came to Zhao Wen's big account and saluted with clasped fists at Zhao Wen who was sitting on the main seat.

Zhao Wen stood up and said with a smile: "How are you in Daizhou City?"

"Sir, it's not bad in Daizhou City. After I conquered Daizhou City, according to your order, I first quelled the chaos in the city, and then started to clean up the bullies and evil gentry in Daizhou City. However, because of lack of time, my subordinates

It's not completely cleaned up," Song Hu replied.

Zhao Wen smiled and said nonchalantly: "This is why I kept Liu Xunchun in Daizhou City. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. How many people have you captured?"

"Sir, there are more than 1,600 prisoners in total. The governor of Daizhou and the commander of Zhenwuwei were all captured by their subordinates."

"Yes, 1,600 prisoners. In this way, including my prisoners at Yanmen Pass, there will be more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 people. With sufficient manpower, the speed of railway construction will be much faster.

Now that Liu Wu has led the rear army to Yanmen Pass, these prisoners together with my prisoners at Yanmen Pass can just be escorted back by Liu Wu." Zhao Wen nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Wu led his rear troops and horses just arrived at Yanmen Pass this morning. After all, the troops and horses led by Liu Wu were basically infantry, and their speed was much slower than that of Zhao Wen and Song Hu.

At this time, Liu Wu had just finished cleaning up his affairs in the army and led a few personal guards to Zhao Wen's tent.

Not long after, Liu Wu appeared in Zhao Wen's tent with his bodyguards.

"Hey, Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here! You came just in time." Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wu who slowly walked into the tent, and pointed to the chair next to the tent with a smile on his face, "Sit down!

"

Liu Wu cupped his fists at Zhao Wen, thanked him, and sat down.

Song Huzai sat next to Liu Wu.
