Zhang Xing glanced at this theoretical subordinate who emerged from behind him. He said nothing, but a refreshing chill came out of his body in a literal sense. In October, the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, so the whole

At the street entrance, there was a feeling of fairy spirit almost instantly.

And this cold air is still growing.

The leader of the rebel army paused for a moment, his face turned pale, and he withdrew directly along with several other small leaders, and then Zhang Xing turned around and waved to the wealthy businessman:

"Come here, I've always been a meddlesome person, and I like to be more serious about good things... I like to check accounts when putting food in, and I like to read IOUs when burning debts... To put it bluntly, if any of you has an interest rate that is too high, who

No one likes to give their children to orphans and widows, but no one likes to let their children be used to pay off debts... Do you really think I don't dare to kill them and bleed them like rivers of blood?"

The wealthy businessman shook his head and his face didn't look good, but he still stepped forward and handed over a large pile of IOUs he had prepared in his arms.

Zhang Xing opened it and looked at it, but after reading only half of it, he asked him to pick out a few IOUs that were directly given to women. There were also several that stated that they would use their children as slaves to pay off the debt. He snorted in his heart and only took these few notes.

Zhang picked it out alone and put it aside.

Then, he continued to look down, but there seemed to be no problem.

Even after taking out these few notes and comparing them in such a pile, it seemed that they were not an excessive proportion, so he rolled up all the debts, prepared to scold him, and directly passed this person's account... However,

, when he raised his head, he was a little surprised to see that the wealthy businessman waiting for him was actually a little disappointed. Not only that, but the other wealthy businessmen seemed to be staring at him closely.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xing suddenly looked back at the rebel leader who had just spoken, as if by some strange coincidence, and found that this man was actually somewhat relieved and relaxed.

If Zhang Dalongtou realized something, he went to look through the IOUs again, three times, and then suddenly picked out one of the IOUs, and was stunned.

There were people starting to fight around. Du and Chai also looked at each other, bowed their heads deeply, and prepared to face possible troubles.

"Who is Zhang Qingshui?" Zhang Xing turned around and asked.

No one answered for a while.

"Let me ask you, who is Zhang Qingshui?" Zhang Xing's body was filled with cold air, and the gray-white ice energy was churning around him. It was even better than just now. "This guy I borrowed twenty strings of essays in a hurry the night before yesterday.

Is Zhang Qingshui that hero?!"

A small leader of the rebel army couldn't bear it, so he came out of the queue and bowed down on the spot. Then he said something shocking: "Big leader! I am not the leader. I heard that the debt was going to be burned, so all the gang leaders went to borrow it... According to the army expansion

For my position, each of the captains of the team borrowed fifty guans, and each of our team captains borrowed 20 guan. What’s more, the corps leader also borrowed three to five guanwen!”

Hearing this, the rebel leaders around him cheered and knelt down for more than half of the time. The people watching also started to roar... Only then did everyone realize that the rebel leaders knew they wanted to burn debts and gathered a crowd to temporarily borrow money.

When Zhang Xing saw this scene, instead of being angry, he smiled and asked Du Caigan: "Just now in the county office, Leader Chai wanted to speak, but Leader Du pushed him over. Is that because of this?"

"Reporting to the leader, the law does not punish everyone." Du Caigan hurriedly stepped out and responded with embarrassment. "For example, there are 1,500 posts, and there are exactly ten generals, all of whom have contributed to the righteousness. As far as my subordinates know, I heard that

It was said that the north began to burn debts, and eight of them borrowed money overnight."

"That's right, there are two more people who know how to hold back." Zhang Xing continued to ask with a smile. "I was a little bit surprised just now. Why is Lihu a small county with more wealthy businessmen than powerful ones? It is slightly different from other counties.

It’s different… now it seems like it’s just because businessmen are easy to borrow money, right?”

"Of course." Du Caiqian was embarrassed for a moment.

"It's okay." Zhang Xing stood up and looked seriously at the leaders of the county's rebels behind him and asked. "Of those who borrowed the money, are there any who haven't come forward or come?!"

Several more people came out to pay their respects, and some directly reported their names, saying that so-and-so was on duty where and had not come. Zhang Xing was patient and asked Du Caigan to find the person.

After a while, everyone arrived and knelt down directly at the intersection facing the county government office.

Zhang Xing then went to see those wealthy businessmen: "Are there any who temporarily borrowed money from you and are not here?"

The wealthy businessmen were no longer in the same posture as before. Some looked happy, some looked on coldly, and some looked horrified. But when they were asked, they looked at each other and shook their heads... Maybe there were still fish that slipped through the net, but this posture didn't matter.

"Let me ask you a few more things." Zhang Xing nodded after receiving the reply, and looked at the rebel leaders again, still looking kind and friendly. "Is it because the rewards have not been issued, or the military pay has not been decided?"

The rebel leaders also shook their heads.

"So, it's just greed?" Zhang Xing couldn't ask further.

"I saw that everyone else had borrowed it, and I was afraid of being squeezed out by others if I didn't." Someone suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Big Dragon Head, I don't sincerely ruin the reputation of the Deposed Dragon Gang and the Rebel Army."

"Well said." Zhang Xing immediately stretched out his hand and nodded. "If you say this, you still understand in your heart that this is wrong. You don't take looting and extortion after the rebellion as a matter of course... If this is the case, we will depose the dragon.

Why are you rebelling? Isn’t it good to follow the Wei Dynasty and oppress the people? Let alone fellow villagers? Let me ask you, if you are asked to return the money now, are you willing to pay it back? "

"I do!" The man was relieved.

"I'm willing too..." Someone came and shouted in a hurry. "After I got the money, I helped the village and bought land. Yesterday I temporarily bought fifty acres of good land. I really didn't have enough money..."

"How much is the difference?" Zhang Xing asked seriously. "Refund thirty acres and keep twenty acres. Is the money enough?"

"That's still four or five points short..."

"Then I will leave twenty acres, and the remaining Wu Guanwen will give you official money, which can be regarded as an advance of military pay... Anyone like him can get half a year's military pay in advance... If you still can't pay, you can also tell me!

"

Everyone was talking a lot, most of them were willing to give in and refund the money under Zhang Xing's pressure, but there were also a few people who kept stiffening their necks and refused to speak, such as the one who stood talking at the beginning.

"What's your name?" After waiting for a while, Zhang Xing finally lost his patience and ordered the person on the spot.

"My name is Shan Zheng!" The man raised his head from the ground and faced me proudly.

"No wonder...did you borrow money? Are you willing to return the money?"

"I borrowed it and I don't want to return it."

"Why?"

"Because I have contributed the most to the righteous actions in this city before. Besides, my surname is Shan. This matter needs to be handled, and it should be handled by my elder brother!" The man frowned and continued to speak. When he saw Zhang Xing's expressionless face, he said

Neither angry nor happy, but more courageous. "Besides, why do we only reward 20% of the wealth and silk for the treasury for righteousness in other places? Why can other rebel army and queens share the wealth of women, and we

You are not even allowed to ask some wealthy households for some money? If you do this, the big dragons will lose their support sooner or later! If it spreads to the front line, it will not be easy to explain!"

"Zhang Longtou!" Du Caigan also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade. "Shan Dalang is on the front line, why should this matter ruin Shan Dalang's loyalty?"

After Zhang Xing listened, he seemed to be in a daze, but suddenly turned to look at Jia Yue, and said crisply: "Why are you still watching? Didn't you hear? Even for Shan Dalang's reputation, he should be killed quickly.

Is it Shan Dalang’s loyalty that makes people whole?”

Du Caiqian was stunned on the spot, and the man named Shan was also a little confused.

Jia Yue, on the other hand, was obviously familiar with the road. Although he was confused for a moment, he immediately swarmed up with a dozen or so skilled soldiers, held down the man in front of everyone, then dragged him out, and easily killed him with just one knife.

This man cut off his head again and brought it to see Zhang Xing.

"Why are you cutting off your head?" Zhang Xing was speechless. "The others kept silent and killed them too!"

This statement immediately caused some commotion. Several leaders who had followed the man in a confrontational posture immediately tried to draw their swords to fight. Unexpectedly, the surrounding soldiers swarmed in, and many kneeling colleagues also rushed towards them. They were subdued in a moment.

, and then he was still executed with one knife per person, as easily as execution.

At this time, the people around to watch the excitement had already been frightened and stayed away, and several wealthy businessmen and powerful people were also shocked.

Zhang Xing just sat still and asked people to call the people back.

After a while, as some of the onlookers came back, Zhang Dalongtou spoke again, but it was to the wealthy businessmen: "What do you say? Are there still grievances?"

The rich businessmen's faces had already turned pale and they could only bow to each other. The few who spoke had some confusion in their speech.

"Okay." Zhang Xing also nodded, but stretched out his hand again. "It's still early, let's continue to look at the IOU..."

Everyone looked at each other in shock, but they could only continue to present the IOU.

This time, Zhang Xing only picked out the newly written IOU and continued to read it. After looking around, he finally smiled again, pointed at the Taoist priest and asked: "Does Qingdi Guan like to make loan sharks so much?" Do you still like to let people use their children to pay debts?"

The Taoist priest did not dare to say anything and could only grab the ground with his head.

Zhang Xing pursed his lips, and the next moment, Jia Yue, who was familiar with the road, stepped forward and stabbed the Taoist priest easily... as if he had returned to the day he was in front of Zhang Jinsheng.

What happened next finally returned to everyone's previous imagination of today. The brazier was raised. Except for the Taoist temple that was going to be confiscated, all the other families took their own IOUs and burned them in public.

Moreover, according to Zhang Xing's requirements, every time a card is burned, the general must be called out in public: "Depose the Dragon Gang Enyi, how much does so-and-so do in what year and month?"

It was not enough to shout weakly, so I had to shout again! This continuous process finally rekindled the enthusiasm of the onlookers, just like they had released food before, cheering and running to tell each other, so that they blocked the street.

In contrast, the few corpses on the ground had long been ignored.

However, Zhang Xing could not turn a blind eye.

In the evening, the IOU had just been burned clean, and the leader of the Deposed Dragon Gang also stood up, but instead of turning back to the county office behind him, he ignored his propriety and jumped directly in front of him, attracting everyone's attention. Finally, he spoke again to the brazier, corpses, rebel leaders, wealthy businessmen, and countless urban poor people who were still in high spirits and farmers who came after hearing the news.

The voice is blessed by true energy and appears full of vitality:

"Today we are burning debts, and I have something to tell you clearly. It is not that you are not allowed to be promoted, nor that you are not allowed to get rich. It is just that the Dragon Gang is deposed and the troops are raised for the sake of the people. The purpose of cutting off the violent Wei is to stabilize the world and let the people of the world have a good life. ! Therefore, if anyone makes a mistake, puts the cart before the horse, and insists on going his own way, please don't have any doubts before you die... I would also like to trouble you fellow villagers to tell you what happened today! If you don't remember much, then 'Depose the Dragon Gang to raise troops, I will The words "for the people" are enough."

With that said, Zhang Xing bowed on the eucalyptus, jumped down, and led the yellow gelding back.

The soldiers and the common people were at a loss at first, and then continued to cheer, not knowing whether they heard it or not. However, the wealthy businessmen and powerful people couldn't help but change their expressions. After hesitating for a long time, they bowed their heads and left.

As for the surrounding rebel leaders, they naturally started to follow Zhang Dalongtou towards the county government office.

When he walked to the county government office, Zhang Xing tied up his horse and pretended as if nothing had happened. He looked at Du and Chai and said, "You said before that Du will be the leader of the local helmsman and Chai will be the deputy. Yes or no?"

The two of them nodded quickly and became nervous at the same time.

"Change over." Zhang Xing patted the horse's back in public and ordered. "You two are the leaders of the left wing. Logically speaking, I shouldn't overstep your authority, but Leader Du is a bit inferior to Leader Chai in important matters. For the sake of the future, I will switch within my family. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Du and Chai were embarrassed for a moment, but immediately, Du Caigan bowed his head in public: "I am ashamed, I am willing to follow what Zhang Longtou said."

Zhang Xing then rolled his sleeves and entered.
