Almost overnight, more than 100 tall wooden frames were erected on the street in front of Yingzhou Dudu's Mansion.

The people in Yingzhou City are all guessing what happened.

As soon as the chief executive known as the murderer entered the city, he arrested almost all the officials and lords in the prison, and now three days have passed.

There was no news in these three days, so those people who didn't know the inside story couldn't figure out what happened.

The only thing they knew was that King Pei Yan was going to be in trouble.

Early the next morning, the gate of Yingzhou Dudufu opened. More than 100 prisoners were dressed in prison uniforms with wooden plaques on their backs, and they were dragged by soldiers to the wooden frame.

The people in Yingzhou had been notified in advance—Li Wenbin sent people to post notices on the streets and alleys of Yingzhou, and asked literate sergeants to explain to the people what was written on the notices.

It is precisely because of this that the people of Yingzhou understand what Pei Lang has done.

Li Wenbin appeared at the gate of the Governor's Mansion in military uniform, followed by Wei Zheng, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang.

"Boss, 130 prisoners have already proven themselves, please show me."
Li Wenbin looked around majestically, and saw the expressions of the people around him: "People in Yingzhou, I am Li Wenbin. The King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, the Chief of the Hebei Road Army, I believe many people have heard of my name!"
"Some people say that I am a murderer, and some people say that I have to eat two children for a meal. I can only say that the latter one is fake!"
"As for the murderer, I don't deny it. It's just that I killed corrupt officials, officials who harmed the common people! In addition, I killed foreigners!"
"The only ones who haven't been killed are the people of my Tang Dynasty."
"Today I just want to let everyone see how to deal with these corrupt officials."
With a wave of Li Wenbin's hand, countless soldiers rushed out, went to the house of the official who was determined to be hanged, and began to search the house.

Countless gold and silver treasures were confiscated into the treasury, and the food was distributed to the people of Yingzhou on the spot, and all debts were forgiven.

In addition, Li Wenbin also publicly announced that Yingzhou and its nearby counties will be exempted from money and food for three years in order to recuperate.

Seeing that King Pei Yan, the king of Yingzhou, was finished, and he was given food again, and the usury he was forced to borrow was also exempted, the people of Yingzhou immediately regarded Li Wenbin as Qingtian.

"Come here, it's [-]:[-] noon, execution!"
The sergeants ordered that a prisoner be hanged on the gallows - Wei Zheng originally meant to behead him directly, but Li Wenbin did the opposite and ordered these criminals to be hanged in front of the audience.

Watching the prisoners writhing and struggling on the gallows, bursts of cheers erupted from the crowd from time to time.

After the execution was over, Li Wenbin then ordered that these prisoners should not collect their corpses, but hang them on the gallows as a warning to others.

After disposing of the officials, Li Wenbin spent another two days rebuilding a temporary team of officials for Yingzhou.

For the rest, just wait for Li Shimin to send someone over, it's out of his control.

Next, it's time to attack the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Hou Junji went straight to Fan Yang, and the Zheng family of Xingyang handed it over to Zhang Liang. Li Wenbin's request to them was that none of the males from these two families, who were taller than wheels, would be kept.

Only those young children will be left with their lives. After reporting to Li Shimin, they will be sent to Lingnan, and they will not be allowed to return to the Central Plains for life.

And the Taiyuan Wang family, who was in the land of Li Tang Longxing, was handed over to Li Wenbin and Wei Zheng to solve it.

……

"Wei Gong, why are you feeling a little depressed these days? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with me?"
After leaving Yingzhou, Li Wenbin led his army straight to Taiyuan. On the way, he found that Wei Zheng's interest was not high, and his conversation became much less.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, what you said is too much. You are so decisive in killing and attacking. How can I be dissatisfied with the lower officials?"
Even though he said so, even if Li Wenbin was deaf, he could hear the dissatisfaction in Wei Zheng's words.

"Haha, how could Duke Wei say that? Am I disrespectful to you?"
"Hey, His Royal Highness King Qin, I just have some concerns."
"What are you worried about? Duke Wei is worried that I will really become a murderous demon king and lose my mind?"
"King Qin, although you are only attacking those corrupt officials and those who should be killed, you are so unrestrained, I am afraid that you will..."
"Afraid that I will swell, and there will be no law to restrain me in the future?"
"..."
"Wei Gong, you and I don't need to hide anything. Although I don't dare to compare myself to my father, I know how to be kind."
"Since that's the case, the officer will speak bluntly."
"Your Highness, what you have done these years is indeed of great help to Datang."
"Aside from other things, just one potato can save the people of Tang Dynasty from starvation. With this incident alone, His Highness can also be famous in history."
For the people, who is the emperor is not the most important thing, as long as they can fill their stomachs and have food to survive, it doesn't matter even if a pig is the emperor.

The appearance of potatoes with a yield of several thousand catties per mu gave everyone hope.

The potatoes produced in Qinghe County alone minimized the impact of the locust plague in Guanzhong.

Countless people survived because of this miraculous crop, and the vitality of the Guanzhong area, which gathered the essence of the entire Tang Dynasty, was not seriously damaged.

In the past few years since Li Wenbin came to Datang, Wei Zheng has seen everything he has done. It can be said that without him, Datang would never have the vitality it is now.

The Jieli Khan on the grassland may still become a confidant of the Tang Dynasty, and the aristocratic family will still exist well, and continue to fundamentally influence the government.

It can be said that everything now is brought about by Li Wenbin, and Li Shimin naturally understands this.

And the absolute trust in Li Wenbin and the actual position of prince are also the rewards given by the Tang emperor.

It can be said that Li Wenbin is now worthy of the name. He is under one person and above ten thousand people. Everyone is optimistic about him.

Except Wei Zheng himself.

"Wei Gong, I understand what you mean, are you afraid that I will get carried away and lose my original intention?"
"His Royal Highness King Qin is very smart. The official just said the beginning, and he has already guessed what the official is thinking."
"I am really worried about this. You seem to have no flaws now, and you have the demeanor of a virtuous monarch. But if in the past ten or 20 years, will you still put the people of my Tang Dynasty first like today? "
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Wenbin laughed: "Wei Gong, you are worrying too much. No matter what time it is, I will put the people of Tang Dynasty first."
