Li Wenbin nodded, and the secretary of the march shouted: "Hebei and Hebei are the two marching chiefs, and the king of Qin has raised his account. Officials at all levels in Youzhou will roll their names according to their ranks!"

Not long after, an official came up tremblingly and reported his name.

"Don't drive to Youzhou, my lower official. Wang Jianling has met the chief executive."

Li Wenbin found a name in the roster on the table and sketched it: "Take it!"

Several sergeants like wolves and tigers rushed forward and tied Wang Jianling tightly.

"Boss, Chief! Why did you take down the official? The lower official was just forced to rebel, and the lower official was wronged!"

Li Wenbin gave him a cold look: "On January [-]th, Pei Han, the secretary of Sitian in Youzhou, joined the army and was killed because he refused to join the army, and all the rich and silk women in the mansion fell into the hands of your king. What more can I say?"

Wang Jianling's face suddenly turned ashes, and he collapsed on the ground, unable to utter any more words of begging for mercy.

Pei Han refused to go against him, so he secretly came to discuss with him, the second-in-command in Youzhou, but was betrayed by Wang Jianling—in order to reward Wang Jianling's "loyalty", Li Ai specially gave Pei Han's family property and his wife and concubine. gave him.

The sergeant dragged Wang Jianling down, and not long after, another official appeared in front of Li Wenbin.

Glancing at the roster: "Take it!"

Officials kept coming in, and all those whose names were registered on the roster were tied up and taken down one by one. Only a few officials who were indeed forced to rebel and did not commit any evil deeds survived, standing on the right He kept wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

Looking at the colleagues who were tied up one by one, or shouted for grievances, or looked ashamed, these officials were filled with ecstasy:

I don't go to hell, whoever loves will go to hell!This pass was finally passed safely.

In the end, a total of 230 eight officials were arrested in Youzhou, and the highest one was Wang Jianling.

After the arrests were completed, the search of the homes of these more than 200 officials began.

The mansions of the arrested local officials in Jicheng were copied on the same day, and Su Dingfang, who came from Chang'an, led the [-] strong cavalry and [-] guards of the Qin Palace to take charge of other county officials.

The eight hundred guards of Prince Qin's Mansion were the sergeants in the punishment camp who were lucky enough to survive to the end. Li Wenbin did what he said and kept them as guards of King Qin's Mansion——

These sergeants were originally soldiers and even prisoners from various parts of Youzhou, but unexpectedly they became the guards of Prince Qin's mansion in one step. These sergeants all had the luck of surviving a catastrophe and having a happy future on their faces.

Five days later, Su Dingfang returned to Jicheng with more than [-] carts of belongings—according to Li Wenbin's order, the fields and food were directly distributed to the landless poor, but he brought back all the floating wealth.

Li Wenbin is not going to hand over these floating money, he wants to keep it as a reward for his subordinates, and by the way, a wave of self-defilement.

After such a rectification, the entire Youzhou officialdom was almost wiped out, and a large number of official positions were vacant. Li Wenbin ordered Babaili to rush to the eldest grandson and asked her to send someone to stabilize the situation.

Two days later, just when the people of Jicheng thought that there would be no more major incidents, Li Wenbin suddenly made another big move.

In the early morning of March 27, countless sergeants blocked the avenue in front of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter without the passing document of the chief executive, Li Wenbin.

Not long after, the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion opened, and two sergeants came out in a group, dragging a heavily tied prisoner.

Soon, hundreds of prisoners knelt down and filled the avenue. Some of the onlookers counted curiously, and found that there were as many as 400 prisoners.

Behind each prisoner is an executioner with a ghost-headed sword waiting for orders.

Some of these 400 people are officials who have committed crimes, and some are family members of officials who have committed serious crimes. The wooden plaques on each person's back indicate their identities.

At noon, Li Wenbin appeared at the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, sitting behind the table and playing with a command arrow.

Su Dingfang ran forward and shouted loudly: "I would like to report to the chief executive, the four hundred and eight death row prisoners have been certified, please give the order to the chief inspector."

Throwing the command arrow casually, Li Wenbin spit out a word without warmth: "Cut!"

The onlookers and those officials who survived by chance changed their colors immediately: [-] officials and their family members chopped up as soon as they said they wanted to.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Three execution cannons sounded, and Su Dingfang shouted loudly: "The chief executive has an order, behead!"

Four hundred and eight ghost-headed knives were raised abruptly, and then chopped down mercilessly.

Four hundred and eight heads fell to the ground, four hundred and eight blood arrows shot up into the sky, and the air was immediately filled with a strong and extremely bloody smell.

Corpses were everywhere, blood flowed like rivers, eight hundred strong riders left Jicheng stepping on the blood everywhere.

……

"Chairman, the empress hastened the decree within six hundred miles."

Just after leaving the boundary of Youzhou, the army marched to Yingzhou on this day, and Su Dingfang hurriedly reported that a messenger from Chang'an had arrived.

Li Wenbin opened the edict sent by his eldest grandson, and there were only five short words on it: "I know."

"Boss, what does the queen mean?"

When Su Dingfang saw these words, he was completely puzzled.

"Oh, it's nothing, just as you can see, the queen mother said she knew."

"The queen didn't blame you for beheading before playing?"

"No, if you want to blame me, it should be the high minister who came here, and he will seize my military power with integrity."

What Prime Minister Gao was talking about was Gao Shilian, who is currently acting as the chief of staff, but everyone still habitually calls him the prime minister.

Su Dingfang has been sweating for Li Wenbin these days, for fear that he will make the queen angry by beheading more than 400 heads at once.

But no matter what, he never thought that this matter would be passed on so lightly.

Accompanying Yizhi was a confidential letter from the eldest grandson, which was sealed with sealing wax.

Li Wenbin opened the secret letter, and the elder grandson slammed it down:
Li Wenbin, you bastard, do you want to piss off your father and mother?

As the king of Qin, you actually led the troops to charge—and you still brought [-] strong cavalry to face [-] cavalry.

How many heads do you have to harm?

If something happens to you, how do you want me to explain to His Majesty?
After scolding, the eldest grandson did not forget to praise Li Wenbin: Although you acted like a fool without a brain, you are indeed like a father. I am very pleased.

What you did in Youzhou was very good. Killing a group of disloyal ministers can be regarded as repairing the past. As for the vacant official positions, I will discuss with a few of the staff who stayed behind, and you don't have to worry about this matter.

The wealth obtained by the army is up to you to use as you like—except for women.

Also, you did a good job in the matter of Li Ai's orphans. The two babies and their mothers have been expelled from their clan and sent to Lingnan.

In the end, what kind of fate it will be depends on God's will.
