Yang Wenguang welcomed him out of the city. After seeing the ceremony, he saw many foreign prisoners in the army and asked, "Master, these people are—"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Last night we stayed under the Qingzhong, and were ambushed by them and caught some prisoners."

Yang Wenguang said: "How could this happen? How dare you attack the wise? Are these foreign devils going to rebel?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's been rebellious now! The magistrate, this matter is under your rule, let's ask."

Yang Wenguang crossed his hands and said that he entered the city with Du Zhongxiao and Shisanlang. In addition to military positions, he also served as the magistrate of Fengzhou and the military and political affairs. He was in a hurry to occupy the throne. Now all the magistrates, military and county magistrates are all officers in the army led by Du Zhongxiao.

When they arrived at the yamen, Du Zhongxiao and Yang Wenguang interrogated the captured prisoners. These people did not hide it and soon received confessions. These people, including Tuoba Gouer, all came from nearby foreign lands. The composition was very complicated, including Dangxiang people, Turks, Tuyuhun people, and even a Tatar people.

The twenty-five women were bought by several foreigners and wanted to sell them to the Tatars in the north of Fengzhou. They were under the rule of the Khitan Daotaling Jiedushi. Du Zhongxiao sent several notices that the Han people were not allowed to be sold, and informed them of the various foreign troops. Of course they knew, but they did not take it seriously. When it snowed, the women fled in the guards and chased to Qingzhong. Even though they knew that Du Zhongxiao was leading troops behind to chase them, they still didn't care.

Looking at the confession, Yang Wenguang didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said: "They were naturally guilty of selling humans and attacking the official army. Yes, but - there were eight Fanluo involved, most of them were near Daqingshan, and some were still in the mountains. If they were arrested, half of Fanluo under Fengzhou would be involved!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "What, can your soldiers and horses defeat them? If you can't defeat them, I'll send troops again!"

Yang Wenguang hurriedly crossed his hands and said, "I can beat you back to the court! I will order the leaders of all the foreign leaders to come to Fengzhou and investigate it thoroughly!"

Du Zhongxiao nodded and said, "It's not just that. We are officials of the court. We are not just trying to find out the crime according to the law. We are not angry with them, nor are we killing chickens to warn the monkeys! This is wrong! If you can't get on the table, how can you manage the local area in the future? Remember, if you decide the case according to the law, you must be sentenced to the death and exiled to the death. If you arrest other people and ask for confessions, you may also involve other foreign deities. If you have to be determined, you will be all foreign deities and all foreign people are involved in the case. Then you will be clear about the punishment according to the law!"

Yang Wenguang took a deep breath and focused his attention: "The official understands! The matter explained by the strategy must be done!"

After saying that, he turned around and went out of the room, recruited personal soldiers, and separately informed Fanluo who was involved in the case, and his leader immediately went to Fengzhou City. If the deadline is up but not reached, his leader will travel a thousand miles away and his children will take over.

After sitting for a while, Du Zhongxiao felt exhausted both physically and mentally. When he returned to the room, he ordered a hot pot, sautéed mutton, and drank alone.

From the initial carelessness, to the shock behind, to the thunderous anger, to the end of numbness, Du Zhongxiao's emotions have experienced great ups and downs in the past month. When he first came to Hequ Road, Du Zhongxiao was full of energy and was determined to achieve better results than when he was on Jingxi Road. As a result, he encountered such a case, and was shocked to calm down.

This place is not in the mainland, and the Han people do not account for the majority, and there is even less ruling foundation. Too unpleasant, the Khitans left and the Song army came over, and they did not want to govern with the local foreign land like the Khitans. Then they would be able to win the enemy country in five steps. Thinking about harmony, they took over the local people and organized the people under their jurisdiction, which was too naive.

How long has it been here been? It was more than a thousand years ago that the Qin and Han dynasties expelled the Huns and immigrated to the border. By the end of the Han Dynasty, nomadic peoples entered and lived with the Han people. The Central Plains sank land and fled south. This place became the territory of nomadic people, which was very rare for Han people. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Hu people moved in again, and this area became the territory of resettlement of Hu people, and Han people lived together again. In the late Tang and Five Dynasties, the Han people fled or died, and most of the remaining were Hu people in the form of a foreign land. The Han people who appeared in this area were either moved by the Khitan forces or Han slaves captured by the Han people. For hundreds of years, the Han people were slaves here. Why did the Song army turn upside down with the status of the foreign land?

Can you change everything with a few notices? How easy is it to change the social foundation without killing a river of blood? The so-called shocking case is in Du Zhongxiao's eyes. This kind of thing has been done by the poor for generations, which is very common.

The Song army was not an invader, and the various foreign lands were not an indigenous people. If this was the land of the foreign land, even if a major incident occurred, Du Zhongxiao would have been much more gentle. Of course, there were other people's rules and it was normal to require minimum respect. But this was not the case. The indigenous people here were Han people, and the Huns who had competed for this place with the Han Dynasty had already gone where they had gone.

Most of the Fan Luo were not invaders, but they lost their homes and moved inwardly from the Tang Dynasty to settle here. In the most difficult time, the Han Dynasty accepted them and asked them to rebuild their homes. Turning around, they killed or drove the Han people, and the rest were plundered as slaves.

If you turn the enemy as the main guest, take Han people as slaves, and dare to trade openly. If the king comes, he will not stop, so he will have the awareness of being beheaded.

After drinking for a while and eating some meat, Du Zhongxiao fell asleep on the bed.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yang Wenguang knocked on the door. Du Zhongxiao woke up in a daze and went downstairs to open the door.

Yang Wenguang crossed his hands: "According to the business, there were eight families involved in the total, and six leaders had arrived. The remaining two families that had not arrived had sent troops to capture their leaders, and they would travel a thousand miles away. Their children would take over and come to Fengzhou."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, in extraordinary times, you should use thunder means! Without thunder means, how can you show the heart of the Bodhisattva!"

After saying that, he went back to the room and sorted out a little, and went to the main hall of the Yamen with Yang Wenguang.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao coming in, the leaders of the foreign lands hurriedly saluted.

Du Zhongxiao sat down after the case, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "This time I called you to come here, there are two things. The first thing is that I stayed under the Qing Tomb outside the city last night, and hundreds of soldiers and horses attacked me in the dark. The ones who died last night were still near the Qing Tomb, you sent someone to accompany Yang Zhizhou to recognize the bodies of each family. The living ones took them in the yamen. I have asked for confessions, how many families and how many people were there last night, everything is clear! Yang Zhizhou will send soldiers to come back to Fanluo and read the notice of the yamen. You read it yourself, read it wrong, or hide it, and don't blame the court when the soldiers come back to report it to the yamen. Any mistaken or missed reading, the leader will travel a thousand miles away and enter the prison camp, and will not return it unless you are pardoned!"

After hearing this, a leader stepped forward and said anxiously: "My husband, we are waiting for foreigners who don't know Chinese characters. How can we read the yamen notice?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Then you find someone who knows Chinese characters by yourself and teach you. You find people by yourself. Don't blame anyone if you make any mistakes! From now on, all military and civilian affairs in Fengzhou will be decided by the Fengzhou yamen. If you don't know Chinese characters, what leader will be!"

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao was harsh, the six leaders were trembling and dared not speak anymore. This was the first time that they saw the officials so harsh, and everyone was dissatisfied. Even if they were dissatisfied, they just wanted to go back quickly. Once the fall of the world, Du Zhongxiao had no choice but to do anything to them.

Looking at the expressions of everyone, Du Zhongxiao said again: "I will tell you the content of the announcement. In addition to the dead and the captured criminals, more than a hundred people fled back. Those who surrendered themselves can be exempted from death, otherwise they will be executed immediately! Those who hide and assist the criminals escape will be punished together! Those who promise to sue the first person. Those who hide or order someone to replace him will give the news office three stakes, and the designated personnel will be correct and rewarded ten stakes. All the money will be given to him. The yamen will help him hide his name. Those who are willing to move the office help him move to another place, and the official will give him land and furniture."

After hearing this, the six leaders looked at each other and complained in their hearts.

Xu Ren's first complaint is a weapon of killing. He can also report anonymously, and there is a sword hanging on everyone's head. Not only did he commit a case, but he might be falsely accused. Du Zhongxiao did not say that he was on the back, which means that false accusations were actually allowed.

Information is an act of disenchantment. The official believes that it is a traitor, and the people lose their simple hearts for greed for money. It is generally not allowed. However, there are still some crimes that the official allows for the first complaint, and all of them are serious crimes.

Du Zhongxiao's attitude was very clear, and no one could leave. If one escaped, the entire tribe would have to peel off a layer of skin. If you have the ability, the entire tribe would escape. If the Song army could not catch up, they would be lucky.

Seeing the expressions of everyone, Du Zhongxiao said again: "There is one more thing. More than a month ago, the yamen had already announced the list of people everywhere and no plundering people is allowed to be slaves. Especially the Han people, if there are any people who dare to plunder, the corporations are sold privately, the corporations are killed, and the followers are over. There is no one listening to the list. When I was in Dongshengzhou, I chased here all the way because of a major case of selling Han women. Just last night, a group of gangs forced the last twenty women to death! Some of the thieves were beaten to death, some were captured, and some fled. The leaders went home and knew that there was a crime in their department and sent them to the yamen. Otherwise, they would not report the matter if they knew it! Those who participated in this matter would surrender themselves to the yamen, and they would be punished severely. Also, if there were any Han slaves in your department, they would be sent to the yamen quickly and would not blame them! Otherwise, if there were plundering people as slaves!"

A leader said: "This—this—this, my husband, we are so customary, slaves are all property—"

Du Zhongxiao looked at him and said, "But the law of the court does not allow it. Why, your customs are greater than that of the court? To be honest, I once wanted the government to pay money to redeem the Han people. However, there were few people sent to the yamen to collect ransoms, and there were many people who bought and sold privately! Not only that, after the yamen had already announced the list, there were a large number of Han women who were sold privately by you, killing hundreds of people! If you don't want this money, don't want it. Who dares to sell it privately, and hide Han slaves, the lesser they are lost, and the more serious they are killed! Also, people are promised to first report the first report, and the first report will be rewarded, and the more money the prisoner is paid. The richer the prisoner is, the more reward the prisoner is. First, set 30% of his property as a reward."

Everyone looked at each other and their faces were as if dead. They used their family wealth as rewards and encouraged to inform the news, which was to do the best.
