Looking at the people whose faces changed slightly, Yue Yang smiled: "What, are you all afraid? Are you all afraid after seeing those thieves so rampant? If so, you should go home as soon as possible to breastfeed the child. Why... Is anyone leaving?"

The environment has a huge impact on a person. Yueyang was just a poor man in modern times, but since he came to this time and space, his power has become increasingly greater, and his aura has also changed with his identity. Now, he is showing that he has the momentum that only those who are superior have.

After being agitated by Yueyang, everyone below could not stand it anymore. Wu Chengfeng shouted first: "I'm afraid of it. I'm just a group of traitors who are ungrateful and forgetful. As a Han man, he is willing to be a lackey of the Tartars. These people are not to be jealous of death! Sir, please give an order, and Bei Zhi will arrest them all immediately!"

"Yes, that's exactly that!" Chu Di, who was sitting at the back, also stood up. He had just defected to Yueyang and was worried that he would not have the chance to show his loyalty. Now that he has such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?

Although Feng Xiaoming, Hu Laosan, Hailou and others were not born, the eyes that looked at Yueyang also had an excitement flash.

Yue Yang slowly stood up, his eyes flashed, his mouth slightly raised, and he said slowly: "The Tartars like fine works the most and are good at using fine works, so that's good. Let's settle the old accounts with them today. Since these people have all jumped out now, that's right, so we can't find them one by one. This time we'll kill him cleanly!"

"Kill him clean..."

When this sentence appeared from Yue Yang's mouth, it seemed so cold. A bone-thrusting coldness penetrated into everyone's hearts. Even the most fighting Hu Laosan jumped violently.

After a long time, Hailou said hesitantly: "Sir, our first arrival in Hunyuan Prefecture has not yet stabilized. If you start killing me as soon as you come, it may damage your reputation in the future."

"Hahaha..." Yue Yang laughed: "Qingyu... Lao Hai, your heart is still too soft. I ask you. Is there any Qingyu in the territory of Hunyuan Prefecture now?"

"this……"

Hailou suddenly became hoarse. Although Yueyang had just arrived in Hunyuan Prefecture, under the promotion of the Fang family father and son and many interested people, his reputation among the gentry and merchants in Hunyuan Prefecture was simply stinking in the wind, not to mention his reputation.

Looking at Hailou lowering his head, Yueyang said to him with a rare stern saying: "Lao Hai, I want to tell you something today. You say that Qingyu is important and he is also important. If you say that he is not important, then he is nothing. History has always been written by winners. If we lose this battle with those profiteers, then even if we are all reincarnated by saints, they will call us as demon butchers. Only when we win, we will become good people and just people!"

Yue Yang said very earnestly, and Hailou was also moved. He knew that Yue Yang regarded himself as his confidant and said this to him, otherwise he would not bother to pay attention to him.

After pausing, Yue Yang asked again: "Are there many people below who mean this?"

"Yes!" Hailou nodded: "We have recently recruited a lot of officials. They also have their own opinions on the market storm this time. Many people said that many military generals and merchants on the North Road were tired of entering, and even involved conspirators from all walks of life. There were many conspirators, many of them were influential figures on the North Road. Should we pick a few people out and kill chickens to warn the monkeys for people to show? For example, Fang Jiuming, although he is just a merchant in his reputation, he has a nephew who served as the Qing official department in the court. If he kills Fang Jiuming, we..."

"Okay. Stop talking." Yue Yang waved his hand, "I know what you are worried about. You are all worried that there will be too many people offend us. Will we have difficulty in the future?"

Hailou remained silent, which was considered a default.

"You guys are so stupid as to study." Yue Yang sneered: "I am not even afraid of Huang Taiji. Are you still afraid of just a few clowns? The North Road in Shanxi has been a long time of malpractice. If you don't use the thunder method, how can you give the people a bright world? It should be noted that sometimes killing a small wave of people is to save more people."

Yue Yang raised his voice and shouted: "We want to kill. Let's choose the most violent people to kill. If you want to kill, let's choose the most famous literati! If you want to kill, let's choose the most military and civilians on the North Road know that if you want to make me have a hard time, I will make him have a hard time!"

Yueyang's words were spoken loudly, and everyone was excited and excited. Everyone was deeply moved. It seemed that they were not as determined and persevering as Lord Yue. I think since Yueyang's rise, he has been using bandits, suppressing bandits, and fighting Tartars, which was not something that was made by iron and blood. Now that he met a few corrupt businessmen and corrupt officials, how could he be afraid?

Seeing that everyone's emotions were stirred up, Yue Yang nodded secretly and shouted loudly: "Now I order it!"

"Crash..." Everyone stood up together.

Yue Yang looked at Jiang He, who was dressed in black and silently, and said loudly: "You Shan Department Deputy Director Jiang He!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

"I immediately arrested the Tartars and made detailed work, and strictly interrogated the interrogation records, thinking that all the traitors were proof of slavery."

"Hailou, Director of the Civil Affairs Department, immediately issued a statement, that all the people who were sacked were punished with insulting officials, and the crime was extremely serious. Within three days, the general commander Tongzhi's yamen surrendered, otherwise the punishment would be doubled. The shops under their name would open the market immediately. In order to make up for the losses of the people who came to the market, the goods prices of all merchants in the market would need to be reduced by 50% within half a month. If you don't wait for the time being, you will be severely punished!"

"Defense officer Hu Laosan!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

"You immediately lead Wu Chengfeng, Feng Xiaoming, Chu Di and others to lead 500 soldiers to arrest Zhou Nan, Hengkou defensive officer Niu Mangui, Shaguokou defensive officer Xi Huaiying and others. If there is any resistance, you will be punished with the crime of cooperating with the enemy!"

"The remaining personnel immediately mobilize grain from Wulizhai to enrich the Hunyuan Prefecture market and sell it according to the normal market price. If you encounter a person who dares to rob grain and raise the rice price, you will start to advise. If you don't listen, you will be killed without mercy!"

As Yueyang ordered one by one, everyone obeyed and agreed loudly.

"There are also the instructor of Huaishan Academy, Wang Chenglin, and Jia Zizhen, who spread the remarks against the law and against the Ming Dynasty. He ordered Aoshan to arrest him immediately and investigate him for strict trial. If there is any resistance, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Receive the order!"

Yueyang's orders were issued one by one, and everyone's faces showed excitement, and murderous aura lingered in the hall.

………………………………………

December 6, 7th year of Chongzhen

On the third day of the strike, the originally silent commander Tongzhi's yamen finally made a move. Teams of soldiers began to post notices on the street, attracting countless people to watch.

As soon as these notices were posted, everyone gasped because the notices were not to compromise the strike merchants, but to order each merchant to resume business immediately in a stern tone, otherwise they would be severely punished. Moreover, the notices also specifically emphasized that within seven days after the market resumption, all goods should be reduced to 50% before the strike for punishment.

As soon as the notice was released, all the merchants became angry. Yueyang wanted to force everyone to death, not only let us resume the market, but also to lower the price by 50%. This is digging our meat!

The angry merchants became even more angry this time. This time there was no need for someone to organize, so they spontaneously came to Fang Jiuming, the president of the Hunyuan Prefecture Chamber of Commerce. A group of people discussed for another morning. Finally, they decided to not only increase the intensity of the strike, they also sent people to the front Datong Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture to cry and complain, and also sent people to the capital to make the matter bigger. This time they wanted to make Yueyang unable to turn over forever.

The stalemate between the two sides continued, but all parties increased their efforts. In addition to the strike, the merchants also hired many green gangsters and gangsters, squatting at various intersections. If they encountered officers and soldiers and officials from the government passed, they would incite the people to insult the officers and soldiers, and even throw ten pieces of rubble at the officers and soldiers. These people predicted that the officers and soldiers would not dare to take action at this critical moment, and they all insulted and intimidated the officers and soldiers and officials without scruple.

But these businessmen didn't know that when they were so proud, a big net was opening to them...

As night fell, the entire Hunyuan City was shrouded in the night. After the curfew was implemented, the streets were silent after the Xu hour. Only the neat footsteps of the patrol officers and soldiers were heard from time to time, accompanied by the footsteps, and the sounds of the beating people made.

In some corners of the city, some men in black appeared. They entered some mansions in different batches. As time passed, these men in black came out of these mansions. They either carried large cloth bags or carried some things in their hands, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

That night, dozens of people were locked up in an ordinary yard near the school grounds, including men and women, with different ages and identities. At this time, these people were looking at dozens of men in black and hanging knives around them with horror.
