Kou Ji and Liu Heng entered Xiazhou City.
Apart from the soldiers and horses stationed in Xiazhou City, no one was walking around.
The people in Xiazhou City hid in their own rooms, daring not to go out, one by one, lying in the cracks of the doors and windows, looking out, watching Song Bing on the street.
Kou Ji rode a horse through the streets of Xiazhou City, saw the figure swaying in the crack of the door and in front of the window, and slightly condensed his brows.
Kou Ji turned his head and asked Liu Heng when he went with him, "Did someone commit an attack after entering the city?"
Liu Heng shook his head decisively.
"The city lord of Xiazhou City took the initiative to surrender. Before surrendering, Gao Chu respectfully agreed to him and did not move any of the people in Xiazhou City. After entering the city, we restrained the soldiers and horses under us, and did not let the soldiers and horses offend the people. ."
Kou Ji suspiciously asked, "Why do the people hide in the room and refuse to come out?"
Liu Heng glanced at Kou Ji without speaking.
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "It's about me?"
Liu Heng nodded slowly, and said dumbfounded: "Someone walked around when we entered the city. Rumors said that you were bloodthirsty. Now you have been assassinated. After entering Xiazhou City, you will inevitably slaughter the people in revenge."
Kou Ji laughed angrily when he heard this, "I want to be really bloodthirsty. Can they escape by hiding in the room?"
Liu Heng also laughed, "Maybe the people think that hiding in the room will be safer."
Kou Ji slightly put away the smile on his face, and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it and what was the purpose?"
Liu Heng replied: "Several scholars have been caught and interrogated. They said they were trying to protect themselves."
"Student? Self-protection?"
Kou Ji looked stunned.
Liu Heng explained: "They are all scholars who escaped from my Da Song Dynasty. During the Da Song Dynasty, they slandered the court, were convicted by the local government, and sent for arrest.
After being arrested, they used some money to clear up the relationship, bought a chance to escape, and fled to Xixia. "
Kou Ji frowned and said, "The lies are slanderous and the court is slandered. It is arrested, but it is just a torture. It will not be fatal, and it will not be distributed. Which way did they make money, and which way did they escape?"
Scholars in the Song Dynasty have a superb status.
It is also common to talk about state affairs.
Even if the court is slandered, it is impossible to be blamed.
It is impossible to spend money to buy life.
Liu Heng curled his lips and said, "I think so too, so I asked someone to re-examine it, but they have always kept this rhetoric, and it has never changed."
Kou Ji squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Your people are all from the Imperial City Division, with 18 punishments, and they are all proficient. How can ordinary scholars resist their methods.
Those scholars who were able to withstand their interrogation and kept their rhetoric would show that they were not ordinary scholars at all and might be hiding big secrets.
Let your people take a good trial. "
Liu Heng nodded and said, "My people have been interrogating."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
The two rode their horses through the streets of Xiazhou City to the Siyamen of the Brave Army of the Left Side of Xixia.
The reason why I went to the Siyamen of the Brave Army of the Left Chamber of Xixia instead of the City Lord’s Mansion of the Xiazhou City was because the Siyamen of the Brave Army of the Left Chamber of Xixia was far more generous than the City Lord’s Mansion of Xiazhou City.
Public halls, classrooms, barracks and other office spaces are readily available.
The Hengshan Army has now cleared the south of Baichi City.
Before the three armies of Zhen Guo, Xing Guo, and Zhen Ge arrived in Xiazhou, it was impossible for Kou Ji to continue to march northward.
Kou Ji had to wait until Zhen Guo, Xing Guo, and Zhen Ge arrived in Xiazhou, waiting for Zhu Neng and Chong Shiheng to reunite in Qingjian City, and waiting for Wang Kai to lead his troops in from the easternmost border of Xixia.
While he was waiting, he needed to do errands in Xiazhou City to digest the Xixia territory occupied by Song Dynasty as soon as possible.
Kou Ji entered the Siyamen of the Brave Army in the Left Chamber of Xixia.
Gao Chu Gong had already brought the City Lord of Xiazhou City inside to wait for Kou Ji.
After Kou Ji arrived, after the ceremony, he began to get straight to the topic.
Kou Ji Dama Jindao sat in the middle of the court and asked: "Can the garrisons in various places be properly placed?"
Liu Heng arched his hands and said, "I have dispatched the soldiers and horses of Tiemen Pass to various places to garrison."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Then tell them to bring the people back to Nongsang as soon as possible."
The look on Liu Heng's face was a little unnatural.
Kou Ji asked: "Is there a problem?"
Liu Heng did not speak, but Gao Chu said respectfully: "As the saying goes, clever women can hardly cook without rice. Today we occupy Xiazhou and other places, but there is no shortage of soldiers, horses and people, but herdsmen officials are extremely lacking.
Without the help of herders' officials to comfort the people, the people would not believe us at all, let alone follow our instructions to restore the mulberry.
Just like the people of Xiazhou City today..."
Kou Ji frowned and said: "The people in Xiazhou City don't believe us, it is because of the rumors. I will send someone to clarify the rumors later. What are the people in other places for? Is it also because of the rumors
I haven't even started killing people, the reputation of being murderous has spread throughout Xixia? "
From a high place, he reverently said: "The main reason is that no one comforts the people. The people can't believe us."
Kou Ji's brow furrowed into a word "Chuan", "Even if I write a letter to the court now, and please transfer officials, the court may not be able to gather all the people and send it to us in a month.
We don't have so much time to wait.
If they don't believe us, don't believe it.
Order to go down, arrange the people in Xiazhou and other places we occupy into group training, and restrain them with the set of rules in the barracks. "
The city lord of Xiazhou City was shocked when he heard Kou Ji's words, and hurriedly said: "Kou Jinglue shouldn't treat the people so harshly. There are many good people among them."
"There are many good people among them?"
Kou Ji sneered: "That means there are more wicked people among them?"
Xiazhou Chengcheng advocated opening his mouth, but did not speak.
Most of the people living in the border areas of Xixia have escaped from the Song Dynasty.
Some are prisoners, some fled to Xixia.
After they arrived in Xixia, they helped the Xixia people to be a tiger.
It is precisely because of this that Xixia talents placed them on the border.
The purpose is to make them contribute when they violate Da Song.
Most of the good people who were truly looted by the Xixia people were placed in the Xingqing Mansion generation.
He helped the nobles in Xixia to herd and farm horses and was guarded by heavy soldiers.
The city lord of Xiazhou City couldn't refute Kou Ji's words, gritted his teeth and said: "If the Song court cannot send officials for a while, they can select one or two from the prisoners and temporarily appoint them as officials of the herdsmen."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "I don't like demoting officials, and even less like those national thieves who were so depressed in the Song Dynasty that they went to Xixia to serve as a tiger."
The Lord of Xiazhou City stared at Kou Ji in astonishment.
Kou Ji stopped taking care of him, and told Gao Chu Gong and Liu Heng: "First, distribute the idle fields in the place we occupy to the soldiers and let them move their families.
After their family members come, they will arrange the original people of Xixia into a group exercise.
When the time comes, our soldiers and their families will help us take them, and we don't have to worry about them making trouble for us.
There are many villains among them. In order to avoid those villains from violently hurting people, strict military laws must be used.
Within three years, there is no evil, you can leave the military status and restore the civil status.
At that time, land will be allocated to them based on their achievements in house farming in the regiment. "
Gao Chugong and Liu Heng looked at each other and nodded together.
Kou Ji continued: "We don't have much time, so we must deal with the government affairs of Xiazhou and other places as soon as possible, and let's go to do the errands."
Kou Ji didn't have much free time to discern the good and evil among the people. He could only use this stupid method to let the kind people take the initiative to jump out.
Three years, for those kind-hearted people, that is a hope.
After three years, they will have their own land and live the life they want.
For three years, it was a kind of torture for those villains.
They couldn't bear to be lonely, and they would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and Kou Ji could just clean them up when they were making trouble.
Three years, it was Kou Ji's punishment for them.
They fled to Xixia and helped the Xixia people to be a tiger. They must be punished.
More importantly, Kou Jiming has given birth to the mind of letting go of the past and is ready to treat them as ordinary people.
But they didn't trust the court like ordinary people.
A simple rumor stirred them up and confronted the court.
Then they need to do a good job reform through labor.
After Kou Ji's order was conveyed, Gao Chu Gong and Liu Heng took their soldiers to divide the land, dispatched the soldiers back to pick up the family members, and arranged group exercises.
Flashed.
Several days have passed.
Zhen Guo, Xing Guo, Zhen Ge, three soldiers and horses arrived in Xiazhou.
One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses rushed into Xiazhou City, filling Xiazhou City.
Kou Ji met with the three main soldiers in the Siyamen of the Brave Army of the Left Side of Xixia.
Just when Kou Ji met with the three main soldiers and horsemen in the Siyamen of the Left-wing Brave Army of Xixia.
A group of eunuchs carrying the torture rod, Ce entered Xiazhou City.
…
Kou Ji was drinking with the three soldiers of Zhenguo, Xingguo, and Zhenge in the class room. He suddenly heard a report from his subordinates that an eunuch had come from Bianjing. Kou Ji was slightly stunned.
"What is the eunuch doing in Xiazhou?"
Kou Ji murmured and asked the three soldiers of Zhen Guo, Xing Guo, and Zhen Ge to drink first. He went out of the class room to see the eunuch.
After leaving the classroom, I saw a few eunuchs sitting on horseback not long after walking.
Different from other weak and weak eunuchs, these eunuchs looked very tall and powerful, and they were not at all lost to the fierce generals on the battlefield.
Several eunuchs saw Kou Ji, but did not dismount their horses. Instead, they sat on horsebacks, staring at Kou Ji with complicated expressions, and gave a salute, "Kou Jing is well?"
Kou Ji froze for a while, nodded slowly, and asked, "Aren't you taking it in the palace, what are you going to do to the northwest? Does the official have something to explain?"
Several eunuchs nodded together.
Kou Ji continued to ask: "What's the point?"
The eunuch didn't conceal it either, and said decisively: "The official sent servants and others to come and perform the torture.
Kou Ji raised his brows, took a few steps back, and stared at several eunuchs vigilantly.
Kou Ji gave a dry cough, and asked, "Who annoyed the official family and asked the official family to send people from all over the country to the northwest to carry out the torture
The first thing Kou Ji thought of was himself.
Because only by treating him, Zhao Zhen would act so absurdly.
If someone else annoyed Zhao Zhen, it would be impossible for Zhao Zhen to send someone to the northwest to impose the rod torture.
Zhao Zhen only needs to sit on the hanging arch hall and give a light command.
The guy who annoyed Zhao Zhen had to be arrested and escorted to Bianjing to be tortured.
The eunuch still didn't conceal it, and said: "It's Ning Guogong Liu Heng..."
"Liu Heng?"
Kou Ji was taken aback, relaxed his vigilance, and then said with a stunned expression: "Liu Heng annoyed the officials?"
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Liu Heng has been thousands of miles away, how could he provoke the officials?"
Kou Ji looked at several eunuchs.
Several eunuchs looked at each other.
The leading eunuch said to Kou Ji: "Kou Jinglue don't ask, the officials won't let the servants say."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "He also gave the password. It seems that Liu Heng has caused a lot of trouble this time."
The leading eunuch saluted Kou Ji and said: "Please also Kou Jinglue tell the slave servants and others the whereabouts of Ning Guogong Liu Heng, and the slave servants and others will be executed."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Baichi City has changed, I sent him to Baichi City."
"Four brother, the trial is out! Big secret!"
As soon as Kou Ji had lied to a few eunuchs, Liu Heng appeared in front of them, exclaiming.
Kou Ji's face turned black in an instant.
The eyes of several eunuchs looking at Kou Ji were very strange.
The eunuchs took the emperor's order and deceived them, as if they were deceiving the emperor.
Kou Ji gave a dry cough, and yelled at Liu Heng who was running over, "Didn't I send you to Baichi City? Why did you come back?"
"Bai Chi City? What..."
Liu Heng looked stunned. Just as he was about to argue, he saw several eunuchs sitting on horseback, staring at him quietly, and he instantly swallowed the rest of the words.
Looking at the water and fire sticks behind the eunuchs, he felt that it was coming at him.
Liu Heng also had to talk to Kou Ji, preparing to round out the lie.
Several eunuchs did not give him a chance.
The eunuchs jumped off their horses and quickly surrounded him.
The leading eunuch stared at Liu Heng and said solemnly: "Duke Ning, the official said, you deceived the emperor, you should have been dismissed from office and sent to jail. However, you cut off Xiao Xiaomu's head and helped him grow For the sake of face, let you go.
But the punishment is still indispensable.
Please take Ning Guogong to the bench. "
The leading eunuch gave an order, and other eunuchs found a bench and placed it in front of Liu Heng.
Liu Heng knew why Zhao Zhen sent people to beat him all the way, so he didn't resist, and slumped on the bench with a bitter face.
"Take off your pants!"
The eunuch headed again ordered.
An eunuch stepped forward to strip off Liu Heng's pants.
Liu Heng was shocked.
Kou Ji, who had been stunned, was even more stunned when he saw this.
"You can't kill people. Liu Heng is a state official anyway. Even if officials want to punish him, they shouldn't humiliate him like that."
