Gulu, Gulu!
The carriage slowly drove into the North City.
The soldiers at the city gate all crawled on the ground, shivering like quails in the rain.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Huo Wuniang hurriedly said, "I was just focused on the city and didn't pay attention to these people. I'll arrest them all later!"
The fight just now did not make Huo Wuniang lose her bloodshot eyes.
She still remembered Gu Qingcheng's principles: "Everything should be done according to the Qing Law. Those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be arrested should be arrested."
Gu Qingcheng nodded and said with a smile, "I trust Wu Niang to do things."
As we entered the city, a strong smell of blood hit us in the face.
There were many corpses lying in all directions on the streets, beside the houses, and especially near the county government office.
The n generations have experienced repeated battles on the battlefield and have long been accustomed to it.
They were not afraid at all. Instead, they led their troops with high morale, searching every street and every house.
When they first arrived, their method of judging whether someone should be killed was very simple and crude—
Standing outside the county government office on horseback, he shouted, "I am a soldier from the Qing Dynasty, and I have come here to wipe out the bandits."
"Anyone who colludes with the Western Rong, secretly communicates with the Yu Dynasty, or plunders the people will be killed without mercy!"
It was obvious that Huo Wuniang and others were here to kill people, and they were not afraid of the power behind that person at all.
The magistrate of Beicheng County and others had something to hide and were afraid of being the first to be liquidated. In order to protect themselves and to have a chance of survival, they could only fight to the death.
Rebel!
kill!
Huo Wuniang took the lead, brandishing the spear that she was best at, and directly knocked the county magistrate, who was resisting fiercely, away.
After the county magistrate died, his minions, those evil people who assisted him in committing atrocities, knew that Huo Wuniang and others were not joking, they were serious!
So they also fought desperately.
Huo Wuniang killed with great pleasure, and the n generations also howled and hacked left and right.
Soon, the city became what it is today.
"Collect these bodies first, verify their identities, and investigate the crimes."
Gu Qingcheng got off the carriage, looked at the dilapidated county government office and the scattered corpses, and gave orders in a deep voice.
"yes!"
This time it was a little girl who answered.
Her surname is Yang and she is the seventh among sisters in the family.
Yang Qinnan was one of the two young noble ladies who insisted on staying.
She was not particularly brave in combat, but she had one great advantage: she was thoughtful and good at logistics.
Gu Qingcheng knew how to use people well, so she promoted Yang Qinnan to be the general manager of logistics to help her deal with these miscellaneous matters.
"Those who have been arrested must also be checked one by one to see if there are any who have slipped through the net!"
Gu Qingcheng stepped over a corpse and continued, "However, today's weather is over, so there's no rush to verify it."
"Put shackles on those people and make them repair the city gates, patch up the walls, and dig the moat first!"
The North City is too dilapidated and must be repaired as soon as possible.
Gu Qingcheng did not let Huo Wuniang kill all those people and the military households in the city.
In addition to classifying and handling people according to the severity of their crimes, it is also to keep people to do the work.
Gu Qingcheng regards Beichang as her "home", so naturally she wants to make the walls, gates, etc. stronger.
"yes!"
Yang Qinnan agreed again and quickly wrote down the words in the notebook with a brush.
"Jiulang, I checked and there's actually quite a bit of grain left in the county government warehouse!"
A young man, his silver armor was stained with blood, and there was a blood mark on his fair face.
However, he did not care about these things, but ran over excitedly to report.
"Good! Looks like we have enough food and supplies for the near future!"
Gu Qingcheng was very satisfied.
"Besides the government warehouse, there are two other grain shops in the city. I think the two shopkeepers don't look like people from our Qing Dynasty, so I just arrested them."
The young man in silver armor continued to report.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, indicating that this was the way it should be.
The fact that they can still run a grain shop in such a chaotic northern city shows that they are definitely not good people.
Maybe he is a spy from the Western Rong or the Yu Dynasty.
Many merchants in ancient times appeared to be doing business, but in reality, they were spying on military intelligence and buying and selling intelligence.
It is not excessive to kill such a person.
Of course, Gu Qingcheng has always used "Qing Law" as a code of conduct in order to subtly influence people to obey the law.
Gu Qingcheng herself must set an example.
Therefore, these people in the city will be examined first and then sentenced!
If someone is guilty, their property will naturally be confiscated.
If they are not guilty, Gu Qingcheng can "borrow" them first, and then return them in full after he has robbed food and money from Xirong or Yu Dynasty!
Anyway, for now, all the money and food in the city have been used by Gu Qingcheng as military supplies.
Yang Qiniang and other n generations who were promoted by Gu Qingcheng had already understood Gu Qingcheng's "principles" and began to work in an orderly manner.
Someone led a team to collect the bodies in the city.
Someone brought soldiers to "raid the house", oh no, to count the money and grain.
Some people shackled the captured civilians, military households, etc., divided them into several teams, and forced them to work with whips.
Some people were setting up temporary tents near the city wall.
Huo Wuniang was mainly responsible for leading the troops.
As for leading troops, besides charging into battle, they are also responsible for deploying defenses.
Soldiers from the Qing Dynasty were already stationed on the city walls and at the city gates.
As night falls, the North City is ablaze with lights.
In addition to human voices and horse neighing, there were also the howling of wolves in the distant wilderness, as well as the sounds of tinkling and clanging.
