Seeing Rao Qinghe being dragged away by Xue Rengui like a dog, the commoners burst into tears.
These were tears of happiness that he had never seen before!
Li Jian didn't know when Xue Rengui would be able to capture Zhangsun Wuba, but it was already late.
Li Jian stood up and walked down the hall. He said in a clear voice,""Fellow villagers, don't worry. This king will definitely pursue the matter of Kuang County to the end. Tomorrow, you will continue to come here. It's already late, so you should go back and rest for the night.”
After hearing Li Jian's words, the commoners had already knelt in a row. They were constantly grateful and happy that a great lord like Li Jian had brought order out of chaos for them.
"Your Highness has worked hard. Your Highness has made decisions for us commoners, and we are extremely grateful. Your Highness is the reborn parents of us commoners.”
The tearful commoners were reluctant to leave. They did not want to leave. They only wanted to thank their heaven, their land, their support, and their warmth.
Li Jian called Luo Binwang over and said," All the women and their families must be protected. They must live in the military camp and eat the best food.”
"Also, lead your troops to Rao Qinghe's house and confiscate everything. Give all the money to the women and their families, as well as the people who are oppressed by the government.”
"All the soldiers of Kuang County will be imprisoned, and all the other criminals will be released. Those who are found guilty will continue to be imprisoned, and those who should be killed will be killed.”
Hearing this, King Luo Bin was overjoyed." Your Highness is thoughtful. I'll do it immediately."”
The sky quickly darkened. The territory here was already close to Tuyuhun. The northwest was like this.
Two hours later, Luo Bin Wang returned. As a scholar, Luo Bin Wang's face was still covered in blood. His appearance and temperament had completely changed.
He bowed to Li Jian and said,""Your Highness, among the 1256 soldiers, 52 of them colluded with the enemy and 89 of them participated in the kidnapping of women. I have already executed all of them!”
Li Jian nodded in agreement. An army must have iron-like discipline. Without iron-like discipline, it wouldn't be an iron-like army.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the county office. Xue Rengui jumped down from his horse with his halberd in hand. On the back of his horse was a corpse.
He dragged the corpse down with one hand and threw it on the ground. He bowed to Li Jian and said,"
"Your Highness, I was ordered to capture Zhangsun Wuba in the entire county. I saw him forcefully snatching eight women on the village road of Badu and was about to commit violence when I was furious.”
"I killed him with my halberd, but I felt that it was inappropriate and should be brought back for justice. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
Actually, Li Jian had expected this outcome because Zhangsun Wuba was domineering.
Xue Rengui was just a nameless general at the moment, so both sides would definitely fight.
And based on Xue Rengui's martial strength, Zhangsun Wuba was definitely at a disadvantage, so the probability of Zhangsun Wuba's death was very high.
So what if he died? He had already offended Zhangsun Wuji's faction in the imperial court. As long as Zhangsun Wuba was alive, the fight would not stop. Killing Zhangsun Wuba might cause Zhangsun Wuji to retaliate, but he would gain the hearts of the people in Bingzhou.
Overall, the advantages far outweighed the disadvantages.
Li Jian helped Xue Rengui up in admiration." Rengui is innocent. Killing trash like Zhangsun Wuba is a good deed for the people.”
Outside the county office, Zhangsun Wuba's soldiers were all tied up. Li Jian waved her hand and made a beheading gesture. Xue Rengui was ordered to leave.
Soon, a series of wails came from outside.
Such a beast soldier who helped the wicked should accompany Zhangsun Wuba to the netherworld.
The days when Zhangsun Wuba stepped on the heads of the people of this land would be gone forever. Whether it was Kuang County or the entire county, they would usher in a new historical period.
An unprecedented clean government, great economic development, and no corrupt officials.
Zhangsun Wuba's head was packed up and handed over to the courier station along with the complaint papers that the villagers had filed against him. They were sent to Chang 'an.
Li Jian had a plan. He didn't send the head and the complaint directly to the Ministry of Justice. Instead, he gave it to the Ministry of Justice first and let Fang Xuanling, who was also the Minister of Justice, take over.
According to the analysis of Chang 'an's officialdom, Fang Xuanling would contact Wei Zheng first and not let Zhangsun Wuji know about this matter first.
Looking at Zhangsun Wuba's head, his expression was filled with terror. His beard was unkempt, and he died with grievances.
It was very clear that Zhangsun Wuba didn't even know what was going on until his death. Xue Rengui's halberd was very powerful, and Zhangsun Wuji's entire head was knocked askew.
Li Jian was well aware of Xue Rengui's martial prowess. He was a dazzling star among the generals of the Great Tang. Zhangsun Wuba was nothing but a cruel clown.
If a general abused the daughter of his own people, then he was no different from an enemy. It was within reason to torture him to death.
