Chapter 4 Chapter 109 Aftermath

Since the tribesmen of the Huaguna Tribe were scattered and settled in various fortresses, the news spread throughout Kaiyuan early the next morning. Some people who were suppressed in the last Kaiyuan riot or their family members were facing the government. Dissatisfied, they took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that the court wanted to settle accounts after the fall, and the government wanted to punish all the subordinate tribes, causing panic for a while. Xia Xun had been prepared for this for a long time. When he learned that the hangover soup that Zuo Dan had tested did contain poisonous ingredients, he could not move and continued to investigate instead of arresting Wulantuya and her people immediately, because he was worried that they would be killed. Such an inexplicable and indisputable situation occurred, and now that he has found out the details of the other party and started to arrest people, he naturally does not allow the arrest of these people to be used by others to cause trouble.

The tribal leaders had just returned from the banquet at the Governor’s Mansion the day before, and after going back to sleep, the situation suddenly changed. They all felt a little uneasy. They were listening to each other, wondering if they should check on Governor Yang’s tone At that time, Xia Xun had sent people to invite them to Kaiyuan City to participate in the trial of the crimes committed by Huaguna's tribe. At the beginning, some people were worried that Governor Yang wanted to trick them into Kaiyuan City so that they could catch them all at once. When they rushed to Kaiyuan City one after another, the other tribal leaders figured it out, Mr. Butang arrested all the Huaguna tribe, which meant that they were not going to attack them.

Besides, arresting a tribal leader cannot control a clan. Although Lord Butang drank a lot last night, he is not still so drunk that he wants to use such a clumsy plan to start a war in the entire Liaodong , So the leaders of other ministries set off to Kaiyuan one after another. Pradu, a fur trader in Hada City, has been restless all day long. All the people in Huaguna were arrested, but it was Governor Yang Xu who ordered the arrest. Others didn't know the reason, but Pradu guessed right away. It must be Ulan Tuya who failed to assassinate the governor.What he was worried about was that if all the Huaguna people related to Ulantuya were arrested, if they were tortured and interrogated, would they confess him?

After he learned that Amu'er, who had been in contact with him, was indeed arrested, Pula finally lost his composure.He is a member of the Jurchen Temore tribe, but a long time ago, he was bought by the Tatar Taishi Arutai with a lot of money, and he acted as Arutai's eyes and ears, and passed the news of Liaodong for Arutai.He'd made enough money over the years that he didn't need to stay here to take the risk. When eating at noon, Pu La was so absent-minded that he put down his rice bowl without taking a few bites, and he didn't bother to yell when he was doing business in the afternoon, and finally made it to the time when the stall was about to be closed, when his wife was carrying fur goods into the shop, Pu Ladu finally made up his mind, grabbed her and said, "Call the clerk to tidy up, let's go home right away!"

His mother-in-law didn't know what her husband was doing in secret, so she said in a daze: "Put away the leather first, what are you doing in such a hurry to go home?" Pu Ladu said angrily: "If you tell you to go, just go, how can there be a lot of nonsense!"After finishing talking, she left. Merchants in other shops were closing their stalls, and when they saw Puladu leaving with his mother-in-law on fire, they all laughed and made fun of him: Haha, Puladu, why are you in such a hurry to go home?It's not a newly married woman who is so anxious. Puladu's wife was ashamed and ashamed, but Puladu laughed and didn't make any distinctions. When she returned home, she hurriedly cleaned up the clothes and told the whole family to prepare quickly. stockade.

Yo!Prado, are you going away? A tribe from far away came back with a flock of sheep and greeted him. Pu La hastily responded: Hey, hey, my aunt who is married far away is seriously ill. She just delivered the letter and rushed to see her for the last time. She came back in three or two days. Yo!It's a matter of urgency. If you go on the road at dusk, you have to pay attention to safety. Pu La responded vaguely, urging his family to hurry up, but his youngest son asked suspiciously: Dad, where are we going? Why are we in such a hurry? Pu Ladu said with a sullen face: Shut up!Hurry up and walk!

Pula didn't go west. It was not easy for him to go out to Tatar with his family and luggage. Moreover, he didn't need to go to Arutai Grand Master. For the Tatar Grand Master, he It has lost its use value, and it is not safe to carry so many soft goods along the way. It is still not safe to go to Tatar. He prefers to live in Liaodong. Liaodong's current household registration and population control is far less than that in the customs. As long as he escapes from Kaiyuan and changes his name and surname, he can be at ease wherever he goes.But he left the place where the tribe lived and headed towards Yishi Hada. He had just rounded a mountain pass when he saw dozens of fierce men in riding clothes waiting there quietly. As soon as they saw him coming, they immediately got on their horses. , drew out the knife and gun.

Those people were all in Hu costumes, but from their uniform saddles and uniform movements, Pu Ladu, who had lived in Han for a long time, immediately recognized that they were elite soldiers in the Liaodong Frontier Army.The warriors in Hufu came up in an umbrella shape, and a strong warrior in the middle held a spear under his ribs, pointed the sharp spear point obliquely at the ground, and said in a thunderous voice: "Abandon your weapon and get off your horse, or you will die!" Pu Ladu's face is ashen-colored! Puladu has since disappeared. A shepherd said that the last time he saw him, he was leaving the tribe in a hurry with his whole family in the sunset, saying that he was going to visit a A sick aunt who married into another tribe, and since then, he has never returned.

His family's flocks of sheep, cattle, and the fur shop were first taken care of by the clansmen. When it was determined that he would never appear again, the acting patriarch Maguerhun called the respected elders of the clan to discuss After that, it was divided equally among the tribe. Pradu has since become a legend. The truth came out. In order to enhance the persuasiveness of the confession, Xia Xun did not use torture to force confessions from all the arrested Huaguna people. The leaders of the tribes who rushed to Kaiyuan City participated in the whole process and saw the whole process of the interrogation.

Xia Xun detained and interrogated the arrested Huaguna people separately, and used the intelligence he got from Ulan Tuya to make a head start. With a slap of the gavel, the first sentence revealed the real identity of the other party. Shepherds may be very fierce in war, but if they are scheming, they deal with the blue sky, white clouds, cattle, sheep and grass all day long, how can they fight against these masters of public affairs. The presiding judge is Mo Ke, who used to be a minor official in the household department of Kaiyuan Military Preparation Road, but now he is the general judge of Kaiyuan Mansion.

The Huaguna people who were detained and interrogated scatteredly, you missed a word, he said a word, Mo Ke used the information they leaked to continue to swindle the confessions of other prisoners. There is no need for an interrogation, the whole case has been revealed to the world, and the leaders of the tribes know that there was a riot in Kaiyuan that day, and the various tribes fought against each other, and it turned out that such a group of people were responsible for it. Thinking of the dead and injured clansmen and those who were arrested and brought to justice, the tribal leaders were extremely angry. They hated Arutai's despicableness and the heavy losses caused to them by these so-called Huaguna clansmen. They all rushed to Xia Xun Petition, demanding that all these people be executed. Xia Xun did not interrogate himself. When the tribal leaders rushed to see him, he was discussing the reform of the army with Zhang Jun and Wan Shiyu. This was the first step.After the soldiers and the husbands are clearly separated, we can proceed to the next step: recruiting soldiers. As for some relevant details, the three of them were having a detailed discussion, and the leaders rushed here impassionedly.Xia Xun asked what had happened, and couldn't help laughing. He said to the tribal leaders: It's easy to kill them, and the governor can do it with one word!But, do you really hope that the governor will go beyond the law and kill you if you want? All the tribal leaders were dumbfounded. Xia Xun's eyes scanned the faces of the people, and said calmly: "They have evil intentions, they are really hateful."But what have they done?They were just doing part-time jobs for your clansmen, when they were buddies, they helped the shopkeeper with embellishments, and said a few cold words of yin and yang, and what happened in the end?The potential is the same as water and fire, and the shape is like a bandit! All the tribal leaders were silent about it. Xia Xun said: Leaders, we all live in the land of Liaodong, standing on the same sky and stepping on the same land. We are all citizens of Ming Dynasty. Fighting and killing all day, like an enemy?If we were as close as a family, would such a thing happen because of such a clumsy trick and the instigation of others? You, as leaders who are deeply loved by the tribe and elders with high morals in the tribe, what did you do when there were grievances between the tribes and between the tribes and the Han people in the past?Do you act as their backstage, backing them up, fueling the flames and inciting them to cause trouble, or are you truly fulfilling your responsibilities as a leader and an elder?Guide them, persuade them, make more friends, less enemies? The tribal leaders were ashamed and ashamed, and no one asked Xia Xun to execute those Huaguna people with confidence anymore. Xia Xun said: "According to the crime, these people should not be killed!"Mo Ke has already told Ben Du about the crimes they confessed and the result of legal punishment, and Ben Du agreed with his result.After the reform of the army station, the officers and soldiers of the guard station will reserve part of the land to build military farms, which will be in charge of the logistics and supply soldiers. Some prisoners of war and prisoners who have committed minor crimes will be handed over to them for care and reform through labor. Labor can't reform people, but it is a kind of punishment, and it also prevents them from having idle time. During this process, they can settle down and truly regard Liaodong as their home.Perhaps, after ten or twenty years, one or two Su Wu will emerge among them, and they still want to return to their hometown, but they are a minority after all.I hope that all the leaders and elders can truly fulfill their responsibilities as the patriarchs of the clan, and work together with the government to make Liaodong your beautiful homeland. If they can pass this incident and become a good lesson, they can be regarded as doing it a good thing! The leaders of the various tribes who came here valiantly and with high spirits left silently and thoughtfully. Wan Shiyu moved his butt, took a careful look at Xia Xun, and asked tentatively: "Butang, what should I do with that Sakura?"
