Governor please stay

Liu Yishou helped him up and said: "Convincing people with reason, convincing people with virtue, good neighborliness and friendship, this is the long-term way. We are all civilized people, we must be reasonable, and don't play tricks at every turn, isn't it so? ?”

He glanced around, whether it was immigrants or locals, they all admired him.

"To tell you the truth, in my dream yesterday, I already killed the river monster with this knife."

Liu Yishou raised the Shansheng Baodao in his hand, and continued: "This sword is a gift from Master Tao of Jurong Mountain. It is specially designed to kill evil spirits! Now that the river demon has been eliminated, everyone will go home and spread the word, lest the lawless people continue to attack. The gossip confuses the crowd."

Chapter 294 A Murder Case Caused by a River God

After dealing with the affairs of the River God during the day, Liu Yishou and the others felt refreshed and did not return directly to Shouyang City. Instead, they randomly found a rich local family in Shaopi and decided to stay here for one night before leaving tomorrow.

When night fell, the courtyard was full of wine and wine, the hosts had already left, and only the servants were serving Liu Yishou and his party.

This trip was nominally to complete Sun Shuao's ancestral hall, so many literati under Liu Yishou's command were there, such as Yang Min, Yang Xiuzhi, Cui Xiaofen, Jia Sixie and others.The drink at the dinner party was the Luosang wine that Jia Sixie was promoting.

After the three rounds, the topic was opened, and for some reason it fell to the routine of "Slaying the River God" played by Liu Yishou during the day.

How should I put it, the incident during the day, the result was indeed perfect, but the deterrent effect was not strong.You know, many people are like this, they will be completely unrepentant until they die, and take your kindness as weakness.

They have convinced you on the surface, but they are still plotting behind the scenes, and they may bite you at some point.

"My lord, if there is no blood in dealing with the river god's affairs today, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Yu Wentai took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice.Originally, he shouldn't be the one to say this, but now his colleagues don't know if they haven't noticed it, and no one is willing to speak.

After all, Liu Yishou was in high spirits, if you poured cold water on him, he would definitely look bad.

Yu Wentai thought to himself, if he were to handle this matter, the method would be similar to that of Liu Yishou, the only difference being that he would really throw the elders of the Li clan and the witches into Shaopi to feed the fish.

After seeing blood, some people will know that they are afraid, and they will compromise with you.

"Punishment without teaching is abuse! We are now in charge of several counties, and everyone here is watching how we do things. When you take the opportunity to kill people as soon as you take office, what do you make those who plan to join us think? Woolen cloth?

Originally, there were many people in Huainan who were slandering us. Didn’t you hand them a knife? "

Liu Yishou waved his hand, staring deeply at the torch hanging on the wall, wondering what he was thinking.

"My lord, no matter what, I shouldn't have asked my subordinates to withdraw the trilogy! When our army attacked Pengcheng, there were people in Liang County who were ready to move. There may be no reason for it!"

Yu Wentai said impatiently, he smelled very uneasy today.This is the survival intuition cultivated in the grasslands in the early years.

Liu Yishou continued to wave his hands and said, "The army was here before to deter the local big family. Otherwise, they would not give you face to worship in front of Sun Shu'ao's ancestral hall. Now that the matter is over, the army must of course withdraw, otherwise , others thought we were going to go bankrupt tonight.

Just drink with peace of mind. "

A certain person just doesn't care at all, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is carried away.

Even Cui Xiaofen, who seldom talks on weekdays, couldn't stand it anymore.Cui Xiaofen and his deceased brother are all people who are proficient in military affairs and have a good understanding of the inner workings of the aristocratic family.From his point of view, the aristocratic families around Shouyang should have reached the limit of their patience.

What Huainan lacks is not land. It is located on the front line of the two countries' war, and land has never been lacking.The people here lack only a stable source of water.There are many river networks in Huainan, but generally the riverbed is shallow and the river course changes frequently.

Floods when it rains, and droughts when there is no rain. If the right to use Shaopi is affected, it will affect the roots of aristocratic families. How could those people give up on a mere "river god"?

Not only will the flags not be silenced, but because Liu Yishou slapped his face severely during the day, these big families who made noise about the River God became a well-known joke, and it is true that those people have to take risks!

Cui Xiaofen slightly frowned and said: "My lord, what Black Otter said is right, it's just a big household in the village, as long as Shaobeishui doesn't favor immigrants, they won't interfere too much.

However, for those powerful families, the lord has severely disrespected them today. Before that, he divided the land and forced them to hand over the hidden black households.

These people just pushed out the elders of the Li clan to come forward and let us take care of them. Today, the lord overcomes strength with softness and gives benevolence and righteousness.Just because the lord has good face doesn't mean those people will be grateful to Dade. "

In the predetermined script, the Li clan is always a person who must die. Of course, he died under Liu Yishou's "tyranny", and then the people behind him can find a reason to make trouble.

What is even more worrying is that behind those people, there may be the support of Liang Guozhong.It is very unfavorable for Liu Yishou if the matter becomes serious.For example, when you are sleeping, there are a lot of Xiaoqiang crawling on the bed, can that be a pleasant thing?

The reason why Cui Xiaofen admires Liu Yishou is because the other party's eyes are fierce and he often doesn't play cards according to the routine.During the day, "Let the past go without blame" was played beautifully and generously.

However, staying overnight with the locals tonight, and withdrawing all the main force of the army to Shouyang, no matter how you look at it, it looks like playing with fire and setting yourself on fire.On the surface, it seems to be an act of trusting the local people and winning the hearts of the people.

In fact, it is extremely unwise for a gentleman to stand under a dangerous wall.

Cui Xiaofen felt that Liu Yishou was really anticlimactic in handling things today, and what he had to do now was to return to Shouyang as soon as possible!

"The wind tonight is very noisy!"

Liu Yishou took a sip of his wine, shook his head slightly with a disappointed expression on his face.

He looked around, sighed and asked: "Don't you think this courtyard has been too quiet from just now? The master's servants are gone, and the surroundings are very quiet. Not to mention that we can walk sideways in Liang County, even if we are ordinary When people come here, the way of hospitality shouldn’t be so indifferent.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked!

They all focused on drinking, but didn't notice these things.Only then did they notice that Yuan Shikang had left Liu Yishou's side at some point.

"Come on, continue to drink, there is another show tonight, a good show."

Liu Yishou raised his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

The originally good atmosphere immediately became dull.Everyone was drinking, and Yu Wentai and Cui Xiaofen didn't talk like they did just now.

After a while, Yuan Shikang came in from the courtyard gate, his body was still stained with blood, and there was a blood mark on every step he took.He came to Liu Yishou's side, leaned over and muttered for a long time, then quietly stood aside, treating himself as a transparent person.

It's just the bloody smell soaring into the sky, which can't be covered up no matter what.

How many people have been killed by riding a horse!

There were no idiots present. Reminiscent of what Yuan Shikang often said, "With him around, the Lord will be well protected", the matter seemed to gradually become clear.

After a while, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and Yang Zhong, who was wearing crotch armor, was holding two human heads in his left hand and right, walked over vigorously, and threw the heads on the ground.

He cupped his hands and respectfully said to Liu Yishou: "The local tyrants in Shouyang are planning to do something wrong, and they even pretended to be a horse thief and wanted to attack the lord. Now the bandit leader has been executed, and Wang Changshi (Wang Wei) is interrogating the mastermind behind the scenes. Our army of [-] soldiers rushed to the surrounding area The counties will be deployed by Chen Junshi (Chen Yuankang), and there will be news tomorrow morning.

Our troops are now in Tunza Village, even if 5 to [-] people come, they will not be able to break through here within two or three days! "

At the end, Yang Zhong was a little proud, bowed and stepped aside.The two bloody human heads on the ground stared wide-eyed.Although they are definitely not the big fish behind the scenes, they are the ones who die the fastest and the worst.

"All brothers in the four seas, why are there endless disputes?"

Liu Yishou shook his head and sighed, with a compassionate expression.

"My lord is so wise! It has long been found out that someone in Liang County wants to rebel, deliberately showing the enemy to lure the other party to attack. Now that the world is fixed, I, Yang, congratulate the lord! The lord is like the scorching sun, these ants-like families are powerful They dare to offend the majesty of the lord, and they will definitely be punished severely!"

Yang Xiuzhi immediately got up and picked up the wine glass and said, and then drank the wine in the glass.

Everyone woke up from the shock. Of course it is shameless to flatter others, but if you don't flatter at this time, your political stance will be very suspicious.

Could it be that you are the internal support of those powerful families?

Who dares to wear this big hat?

For a while, all kinds of flattery were heard, Liu Yishou smiled and waved his hands, signaling that everyone should stop talking beautifully.It’s okay to brag and show loyalty in advance, but now that the work has been done, what’s the use of you talking about it?

"By the way, where's the sand sculpture boy?"

Liu Yishou asked Yang Zhongdao.

"Sand sculpture?"

"Oh, a slip of the tongue, I meant shooting the eagles just now."

It turned out to be a Condor Shooting Boy, Yang Zhong suddenly realized: "Du Luxian shot the bandit leader to death today, saving a lot of trouble. He is still on duty now, and the Lord will see him at dawn."

The military operation was carefully deployed, especially the secrecy was done very well, even Yu Wentai and the civil servants present did not know about it.Apart from the personal guard Yuan Shikang, the only insiders are Wang Wei, Chen Yuankang, and Yu Jin.

And Yang Zhong also obeyed orders, and didn't know what happened before.

Liu Yishou obviously came prepared and didn't want to let some people go.He just didn't follow the routine of others.Today's settlement in the surrounding area of ​​Shaobei was pretending to be a "temporary idea", but the attack by this group of people was a real impromptu intention, and they could not gather too many private troops.

So on the contrary, it will be resolved better than expected.

Yu Wentai thought to himself, could it be that Liu Yishou deliberately showed "benevolence" during the day, and then asked himself to transfer all the troops on the bright side, so that some aristocratic families felt that the opportunity came, and they would make a big wave, and they would not be able to eat and drink later. worry!

Judging from the current situation, it is likely to be the case.

"During the day, I asked the river god what he said. Some people said that the immigrants should donate a hundred virgins to the river god every year."

Liu Yishou laughed at himself: "I see, what they want is not boys and girls, but the head of my surname Liu. I gave them a chance, but they didn't cherish it."

Everyone present felt the same.

During the day, Liu Yishou had already stepped down the steps for them, but how did those people repay Liu Yishou's kindness?Well, it's the night attack now.

They saw Liu Yishou staying "unprepared" in the village, and then took the risk.

No greetings, no martial arts.It can even be said that there is no brain.

If you really have a brain, at least soldiers and horses can kill outside this courtyard.But their group of drinking people didn't even hear the sound of shouting and killing, and those people were ambushed at the entrance of the village.

"My lord, there are many people who are willing to go through life and death with you, but there is no guarantee that there are many people in the world who are born stubborn. As for those stubborn people, the lord doesn't need to show affection. Take out their land and share it For those who are willing to follow the lord.

In this way, won't our team grow stronger?The protagonist doesn't have to worry about those people who don't open his eyes, he can do whatever he wants. "

Yang Min calmly persuaded.

Liu Yishou glanced at him in surprise, he couldn't tell that Yang Xiaopang was quite a tiger, and what he said was almost undisguised.I have to say that the "Zheng Boke Duan" he played tonight was a bit shocking to everyone present, Yang Xiaopang was showing his loyalty.

"In order to show his loyalty to the Erzhu family, Zhang Liang insisted on raiding the city, causing heavy casualties to his followers. I feel deeply sorry for the crimes of his followers. Now these powerful families in Liang County are also stubborn. Ling, I don't know how many people will be implicated.

Not killing is not enough to anger the common people. What do you think should be done? "

Liu Yishou said slowly.

"My lord, I was digging coal before, and my subordinates thought it was very good. Let those guilty people dig coal. When winter comes, they can sell the coal to poor people for heating at a low price. It kills two birds with one stone."

Yang Min's mind was quick and he knew what Liu Yishou was thinking, but the other party just didn't want to say it himself.Xia Houhong was a man with his nostrils upturned, who dug coal (coal) for several months, and immediately became extremely honest after he came out!

"What do you think? Although these people are benevolent and unrighteous, we can't be like them, right? It's a bad idea to kill people."

Liu Yishou sighed with emotion.

Everyone said in unison: "The lord is benevolent and righteous, we are sincerely convinced!"

"That's it! Don't kill people randomly. Human heads don't look like leeks. If you cut them off, they will grow back. We must practice benevolent government, and we must convince people with reason and virtue, you know?"

Liu Yishou said with a smile.

All of you present couldn't help but look at the two bloody heads lying quietly in the lobby, and you couldn't help but have a fresher and deeper understanding of the so-called "benevolent government" and "convincing people with virtue".

After a while, Wang Wei walked into the yard wearing a leather armor. His attire looked like a monkey wearing a crown, which didn't match his temperament.

As soon as he saw Liu Yishou sitting in the main seat thinking about something, he hurried over and said excitedly, "My lord, the trial has been cleared!"

"Who is behind these people?"

Liu Yishou asked loudly, as if he wanted Wang Wei to tell everyone.

"Uh, those who were directly involved seemed to be Xiao Yan's seventh son Xiao Yi's subordinates, but it seems that someone behind the scenes took Xiao Gang's money. Anyway, this matter is very unusual, and we need to find more clues."

"Xiao Duyan? It shouldn't be!"

Hearing this, Liu Yishou was puzzled, as if he had never dealt with this person before.Xiao Gang's anger is understandable. This guy sent people to win him over three times and four times, but he dismissed them all with ridiculous reasons. He should be angry.

What is Xiao Yi doing!

"My lord, my subordinates wonder if Xiao Yi has a low self-esteem because of his ugly appearance and one-eyed eyes. He thinks that the lord is far more handsome than him, so he kills him?"

Yang Xiuzhi patted a harmless flattery with a novel and tricky angle.

"Nonsense! If Xiao Yi is handsome and wants to kill him, how many people will he have to kill before he can stop! Xiao Yi is such a brainless person!"

Liu Yishou retorted unceremoniously.

Everyone in the lobby looked at each other, maybe it was nonsense for Xiao Yi to attack Liu Yishou because he was jealous of his handsome looks, but are there still few brainless people in the Xiao clan?

Xiao Zan, the second son of Xiao Yan who recognizes a thief as his father, Xiao Zhengde who thinks about treason all day long, Xiao Gang who writes poems about child molestation, Xiao Yuyao who has an affair with his uncle... Which one of these is not a brainless person?

Chapter 295 The handsome guy is definitely bad

Both history and reality tell us that conflicts will never completely disappear. As long as there are conflicts, they will intensify one day. No matter what method is used to alleviate them, they will eventually erupt one day.

Liu Yishou and others took control of Shouyang, in essence, to let the aristocratic families in Shouyang and the surrounding areas cede some or all of their interests to Liu Yishou. The contradiction between the two is a natural existence.

To resolve this contradiction, there are two ways.The first is to compromise with each other, and then to collude to further squeeze the local yeoman and tenant farmers.

The second one, the answer is more clear, either Liu Yishou's group will disintegrate, or the local aristocratic family will be wiped out, then this contradiction will naturally disappear.

Obviously, both Liu Yishou and the powerful local families in Shouyang chose the second option.The ending is also obvious. Liu Yishou, who pretended to be "Sun Ce's second", acted in a high-profile, shrewd and "defenseless" way, planned carefully beforehand, and uprooted the local tycoons in one fell swoop!

This incident even shocked Liang Guozhong!

However, Xiao Yan's handling attitude is also very intriguing.It was nothing more than an imperial decree, reprimanding Liu Yishou for "dissoluteness without form and arrogance", nothing more.There is not even a symbolic "penalty".

Obviously, Xiao Yan didn't want to make things big, after all, his two sons were involved here!One of them is still a prince!

The third son, Xiao Gang, gave money and weapons to the local tycoons in Shouyang. His purpose of doing so was very simple, because Liu Yishou was on the side of the former prince's descendants.According to the report from the eyeliner, Liu Yishou had secretly entered the prince's mansion at the beginning, and expressed support for Xiao Huan, Xiao Xie and others.
