The Ma family father and son were killed, and Master Tang burst into tears.

Gao Huan waited for him to cry for a while before he asked Yang Shulin to help him into the city.

At this time, Gao Huan looked at the unsatisfied people and tried the arrested gentry and wealthy families.

Most of these big families did a lot of bad things. In the end, more than ten people with heavy culprits were sentenced to beheading, and seven or eight people were left. They had minor crimes and did not bear murders. They were sentenced to confiscation of their property and undergo labor reform.

Among these more than 20 major households, there was also a landlord named Chen, but not many people reported it.

This is not to say that the landlord is so kind-hearted that he has done a lot of things to acquire land when disasters occur and buy the villagers' land and houses at low prices. He just hasn't done too much.

The public trial lasted from morning to afternoon, and the people of Dengfeng were excited for a day.

The people lived a lifetime and saw this scene for the first time. The majestic Ma family father and son were chopped off with a click.

Those men who are usually arrogant and noble were killed by the Chi Beijun like a chicken, and everyone was shocked.

At this time, Gao Huan stood on the top of the city and said loudly: "Famous people, the landlord bully who bullies you have been executed by me. Now I will share the landlord's wealth with everyone equally. If anyone comes to steal our land and bully us, we will do it with them!"

"Support the general, support the Chibei army, and protect Dengfeng County!" The people who were arranged by Song Xiance in the crowd immediately raised their arms and shouted.

The excited people cheered, and Gao Huan walked down the city wall and returned to the county government amid the cheers.

At this time, Gao Huan came to the lobby. Master Tang, who had calmed down his emotions, was already waiting in the yamen.

"Young Master avenge me, and from now on, I will devote myself to you until I die!" Seeing Gao Huan come in, Master Tang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gao Huan.

Gao Huan quickly helped Master Tang up, "Sir, please come up quickly, we will do great things together in the future, and we will definitely not let each other down!"

Master Tang had a fame and honor, so he was a scholar. He had no choice but to embark on the road of rebellion.

He followed Li Jiyu in hope that Li Jiyu could avenge him. As a result, Gao Huan helped him with what Li Jiyu didn't do in less than three months.

Now Master Tang is completely devoted to Gao Huan and has become the first scholar he has recovered.

Although he was just a scholar, Gao Huan felt more satisfied when he thought that Li Zicheng was not around him, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, and even Song Xiance was intercepted.

Gao Huan took Master Tang to the hall to sit down, and Gao Huan asked, "I thought it would take another month or two before I could return to Dengfeng, but I didn't expect to come back so soon!"

Master Tang then said: "I went to Hangzhou and found out that there were sweet potatoes and corn for sale in the Zheng family in Fujian. I bought them directly in Hangzhou."

Gao Huan was overjoyed when he heard that he had bought sweet potatoes and corn. This would be one of his biggest reliances on defeating Li Zicheng and defeating the Qing army. "Where are the things? Have you brought them back?"

"I'm still in Yuzhou!" Master Tang explained: "After the news of the Prince's uprising in Dengfeng, the official army in Yuzhou blocked the road to Dengfeng. I put the things in Yuzhou City and returned to Dengfeng first."

Gao Huan frowned slightly, but he didn't expect Kaifeng to react so quickly that the road to Dengfeng had been blocked.

This means that Dengfeng can no longer obtain food and other supplies from the south.

This made Gao Huan's heart sank, "The time to plant sweet potatoes and corn is over now. There is no problem in Yuzhou for the time being. Isn't it still necessary to get it back as soon as possible!"

At this time, after a day of counting, Li Wu returned to the yamen to report to Gao Huan.

He entered the lobby, saluted Gao Huan, and exchanged a few greetings with Master Tang before reporting to Gao Huan: "Master, the total amount of silver is 53,000 taels, and several major households offer confessions. There are Tibetan silver underground in my hometown, and there are also silver in the Ma family's yard. If I find it, I will probably have more than 100,000 taels. In addition, a number of materials such as cloth, salt, and vegetable oil were seized."

"In the people's home, they can't even get a hundred copper coins. More than 20 big households have more than 100,000 taels of cash. In addition, land, houses, and shops are not counted." Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "The big households are so rich that they pass on taxes to the people. How can the people live?"

Everyone heard that they had copied so much cash, but they felt that the world was unfair.

Li Wu continued: "Young Master, I check the city's COFCO warehouse and shops, and the grain is about 3,000 stones!"

"So little!" This shocked Gao Huan and everyone.

Li Wudao: "The county originally bought grain from other provinces, but this year it suffered another disaster. Many farms had no grain harvest. The grain in the field was not collected, so naturally there was no grain stored in the county."

Gao Huan asked in a deep voice: "To add up all the food obtained from Gao Laozhuang, Liuzhuang, and we have captured each village before, how long can we eat the food?"

"At the current consumption rate, you will finish eating before the end of the year!" Li Wu said worriedly: "There are too many people now, and there are more than 100,000 people in the county, and they all expect the eldest master to have a meal."

This year, there is a locust plague and drought. The entire Henan is short of food, so Dengfeng County will naturally be no exception.

The county’s grain now cannot last until the wheat matures next year, nor can it wait for sweet potatoes and corn to grow and promote.

After hearing the news brought back by Master Tang, the neighboring prefectures and counties learned that Dengfeng had changed and blocked Dengfeng County. The grain could no longer be transported from normal channels. Then, to obtain the grain, there were only two ways to rob Linxian or smuggle.

At this time, the whole of Henan was short of food, and the situation in Lin County was similar. The more people they were harboring, the more food they were short of food. In the end, like Li Zicheng, the Ponzi scheme completely collapsed.

Gao Huan pondered for a moment, and looked up and saw that his subordinates were all worried. Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry about food. As long as there is enough money, there will definitely be a way for food! If the gentry and merchants in the Ming Dynasty did not love money and obeyed the public and the law, the Ming Dynasty would not have become like this."

While speaking, Gao Huan had two plans in his mind, one was to look for Shanxi merchants, and the other was to look for Hou Fangbo. These two groups were crippled inside and outside, and the other was a borer from the court. As long as the money was enough, someone would take risks.

At this time, Gao Huan instructed again: "Uncle Li, Military Advisor Song, you can count the supplies and summarize the rewards of the meritorious soldiers, and implement the pensions of the dead and disabled soldiers." Gao Huan looked at Master Tang again, "Master, I have appointed you as the shogunate master now. You are in the county, find me a group of staff and build up the staff team!"

Everyone took the order one after another, and Gao Huan immediately stood up and went to Hou Fangbo's mansion. After all, Gao Youcai was also a Jinshi. Now that he was too big, Gao Huan had to let him do something for him.

Luoyang City has been a little nervous recently.

Since Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, left Shangluo Mountain and entered western Henan, Luoyang has been on guard.

Not long ago, Li Zicheng broke Yongning and killed the King Wan'an of the Ming Dynasty, gathering more than 100,000 victims. Recently, more than 100,000 victims emptied the treasury of King Wan'an. He heard that he was about to attack Yiyang. He was about to approach Luoyang, and there was another rebellion in Dengfeng, southwest of Luoyang, which made Luoyang worried.

At this time, in the Luoyang Governor's Yamen, the Governor Li Xianfeng, wearing a scintillating official robe, frowned and sat upright in the middle hall.

The magistrate of Luoyang, Zhou Yueping, and the boss of the Ma family, and the Luoyang general Ma Quan, sat on both sides.

Zhou Yueping stated the situation in Dengfeng, and then said worriedly: "Zhongcheng, this Dengfeng Gaozhe is different from that trespass. The trespass is just a group of mud legs. Gaozhe is a Jinshi of this dynasty and was once a eunuch party. Now he betrays the court, and his influence is too bad!"

Li Xianfeng had a gloomy face, and the gentry betrayed the court, and this sign was extremely bad.

The bandits have been in trouble for more than ten years and have not become a popular one. The main reason is that there is no support from gentry and scholars. Once scholars start to support the bandits, the nature of the bandits will soon change.

Li Xianfeng had a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "I will give you three thousand troops and horses. Within one month, I will defeat the thief of Dengfeng!"
