At sunrise.
Onojo Street entrance.
Hundreds of people were shackled and kneeling on the ground.
Some of them are grain merchants.
Some are medicinal herb merchants.
There are also officials such as county magistrates and county secretaries.
They looked terrified and trembling.
In the distance, their loved ones could be heard wailing in pain.
Most of them are ordinary people.
They all watched it all with indifference.
If the soldiers hadn't stopped him, he would have already pounced on him.
The city is closed for fifteen days!
Soldiers and bandits came every day to plunder food.
Food prices are soaring every day.
The sick want to buy medicine.
But the price of medicine is rising exponentially.
They wanted to go out of town to collect herbs.
But Ono Castle has been sealed off.
They couldn't get out at all.
You can only wait for death!
And these vendors control the passage.
Come in when you want to, leave when you want to.
When the medicinal materials come in, let the officials distribute them first.
Then give it to these vendors to sell at a high price.
In just half a month, countless people were killed.
They were being exploited.
Squeeze out the last bit of value!
And all this was caused by them.
If Ning Que hadn't come, they would have had no choice but to endure it.
Now, they have Ning Que's support!
Ning Que was sitting in front.
Prince Lu looked embarrassed and sat nearby.
Some of the officials here are his relatives.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame them for being too greedy!
Everyone knew that Emperor Feng had personally visited Daye Lake.
Ning Que led his personal guards to garrison and defend.
Who is Ning Que then?
He is the prince of Dafeng!
He is famous for loving his people like his own children!
I don’t know how many people were killed in the previous disaster relief.
Knowing that there was a plague in Ono Castle, how could I not come?
Now look what happened, everything was caught in the same pot!
"Prince Ning, isn't this too many people?"
"These vendors are dead."
"There are more than seventy officials!"
"Half of the county magistrates are gone!"
"What will happen next after you cut it?"
Ning Que picked up his teacup, glanced at him, and said, "The rest? It doesn't matter. If Prince Lu is short of men, I have many suitable ones here. They are all talented in both civil and military affairs, and are loyal to Dafeng. They have military merits and are more than qualified to be county officials. When Prince Lu finds a suitable candidate, he can return it to me."
"this……"
King Lu looked embarrassed.
What does Ning Que mean by this?
They actually planted spies in his fiefdom?
If you really become an official, can you still change? !
"That's enough."
Ning Que didn't give him a chance to explain. He stood up and said, "My fellow villagers, you all know the current situation. These beasts rashly issued a city lockdown order, and officials and businessmen colluded to hoard goods and drive up prices. This has caused heavy casualties among the people. Their crimes are unforgivable!"
"good!"
"good!"
"Prince Ning is mighty!"
Ning Que raised his hand.
Everyone shut up at the same time.
"This king is here to set the rules today!"
"It's also telling the world clearly!"
"Tell this to all the officials in the world!"
"Laws are the rules and regulations for the world, the standard for all things! Officials are the people's lives!"
"From now on, anyone who dares to exploit the plague or other disasters to profit from the national crisis will be killed. Think carefully before you commit corruption and abuse the power of law. It's best not to let me know, or I'll chop you off even if we're thousands of miles apart!"
The sound was like thunder, echoing through the streets.
The detained officials trembled.
Ning Que threw out the command arrow after he finished speaking.
The moment it landed, it was already a foregone conclusion.
"Execution!"
The executioner raised his butcher knife.
He spurted out a mouthful of liquor.
Then it fell down heavily.
In an instant, heads rolled and blood gushed out.
Exclamations continued to ring out.
Ning Que is serious.
It’s not just talk!
Many vendors retreated in shock.
Those with poor acceptance ability will bend over and vomit.
What Ning Que said was even more recognizable.
He is here today to make an example of someone!
Who would dare to profit from the national disaster after this?
Ning Que really chopped people down!
So what if I have a backer?
Could your backer be more powerful than Ning Que?
Looking around the world, there is only one prince named Ning Que.
He and Emperor Feng grew up wearing the same pants.
Look at the county magistrate...
His wife is a relative of King Lu!
Didn’t the whole family get killed anyway?
He didn't even give face to the King of Lu's plea!
Ning Que stood up.
It's all over now.
All those who should be killed have been killed.
Those who need to be dealt with have also been dealt with.
The follow-up focus will still be on controlling malaria.
Tie Niu and his men began to deal with the corpses.
He also deliberately passed by Lu Lixing.
His face was filled with horror.
"Prince Ning, what are your plans for the future?"
"Cure the malaria first." Ning Que looked at Lu Lixing, who was looking flattering, and said calmly, "Prince Lu can continue to prepare for the Fengshan ceremony. At the same time, he should restore production as much as possible and strengthen the two counties of Jinan and Jibei. Do what the King of Qi has done over the years and lure all the people back."
"But...but I have no money!"
"I do." Ning Que raised his hand calmly. "Besides, I've noticed that there are many wealthy officials in Lu who are just sitting there doing nothing but eating and drinking. If they want respectability, then give them respectability; if they don't want respectability, then help them achieve it!"
"Understood……"
Prince Lu nodded bitterly.
He knew that this was also what the emperor meant.
The goal is to develop Lu and weaken Qi.
Prepare for the upcoming war!
The two walked side by side.
