Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 18 The Truth Comes Out
Chapter 18 The Truth Comes Out
There were more than 2000 bandits. When they were surrounded, only more than 1000 were left.

During the battle just now, the bandits were completely defeated without even touching the hands of Zheshangfu guards.

At this moment, 800 people surrounded more than 1000 people, and the encirclement is still shrinking.

After a while, the bandits were leaning on each other, back to back, looking at the guards around them with horrified expressions.

Fortunately, the guards soon stopped advancing and stood still.

Then, the guards opened a path and let a young man in white robes walk in.

The young man walked up to them and said in a loud voice: "Listen up, I am Li Chengqian, Duke of Qian, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If you are sensible, obediently put down your weapons and surrender!"

"... "

The bandits were taken aback for a moment, then picked up the weapon from the ground, and put it down again.

Li Chengqian shook his head, and then ordered Wang Lei: "Send all these people back."

"Here!"

Wang Lei took the order, and then asked Zhe Chong to go to the mansion guards to take them away.

The more than 1000 bandits were stunned, but no one dared to resist, and they went to Qianzhou obediently.

When the army returned to Qianzhou, many people heard about this and came over to see what Li Chengqian was going to do.

Zhe Chong Shangfu guards escorted a group of bandits to the center of the city, and more and more people followed on the road. When the large army reached the center of the city, the nearby streets were almost crowded with people.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian walked up to those bandits, faced many people, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I believe everyone knows what is the biggest disaster in Qianzhou!"

"That's right, it's the bandits behind me. They robbed houses and ruined the people. Everyone said, should they kill them or not!"

The people began to whisper, but no one answered his words.

Li Chengqian was not angry either. The people had been oppressed for a long time and had already become numb, so at this moment they needed someone to take them out of the predicament.

Thinking of this, he winked at Wang Lei.

Wang Lei understood, and then escorted Liu Biao to Li Chengqian.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Lei kicked Liu Biao in the leg and made him kneel down.

Liu Biao was unkempt, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of horror.

"This man is familiar to you, right? His name is Liu Biao, and he is the largest group of bandits outside Qianzhou City. Whether he lives or dies today is up to you!" Li Chengqian said loudly.

"No...no, this has nothing to do with me. It's all...all Shen Liang's idea!" Liu Biao suddenly shouted in horror.

Hearing his words, Li Chengqian's heart was moved, and he said sharply: "It's nonsense, everyone knows that Governor Shen is a good official, you dare to slander him when you are about to die!"

"My lord, there are many ledgers on Jiufeng Mountain, which record the amount of goods I robbed and sold for Shen Liang over the years!" Liu Biao shouted.

Li Chengqian looked at him and snorted coldly: "What is going on, tell me quickly!"

Liu Biao lowered his head, and said: "Back then, His Majesty withdrew the Dudu Mansion, and I wanted to go back to the countryside to work in peace, but I didn't expect Master Shen to find us suddenly."

"Afterwards, he asked us to go to the mountains outside Qianzhou to occupy the mountains as kings, and be responsible for robbing the caravans passing through the official road."

"At that time, there were many people who came to Qianzhou to do business, so we could rob a lot of goods every year. Under Shen Liang's arrangement, we took those goods to other states and counties to sell, and finally gave the money we earned to Qianzhou. Shen Liang."

"... "

As soon as these words came out, the discussion among the common people gradually quieted down!
His voice was not too loud, but the people at the front could hear him clearly.

Then it was passed down layer by layer, and more and more people knew what Liu Biao said.

After a short period of astonishment, it was anger!
Over the years, Shen Liang managed Qianzhou pretty well, at least he didn't increase taxes and increase the burden on the people like other states and counties.

Therefore, the people did not have a favorable impression of him, but they also had no ill intentions.

Unexpectedly... Shen Liang is such a villain behind his back!

In recent years, bandits outside the city have caused a lot of trouble to the people.

When people want to leave Qianzhou to go to other states and counties, they must go together to prevent being robbed by nearby bandits.

Unexpectedly, it took more than ten years for the people of Qianzhou to know the truth!
These are not bandits at all, but soldiers!

It was the soldier who was robbed by Shen Liang!

"What? You were also ordered by Shen Liang?" At this time, several leaders nearby said in unison.

"…you all are?"

"... "

The air suddenly became quiet, and then Liu Biao said bitterly: "This Shen Liang, he has one thing in the other, and he said he only found me, but in fact he found so many people!"

Now the truth is revealed, Shen Liang has both sides, and several bandit forces outside Qianzhou are under the cultivation of Shen Liang.

Several leaders lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Now in their hearts, Shen Liang is the kind of bad man who plays with emotions, and they have lost their nature in Shen Liang's "sweet talk".

This bad old man is really bad!

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

After the weird silence, there was a violent storm.

Tens of thousands of people in Qianzhou are basically here. Now everyone knows what Shen Liang has done, so they are so angry and clamored to kill these bandits.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and the voices of the people gradually subsided.

"Everyone, why do you want to kill the bandits? Because they are robbing homes and doing all kinds of evil!"

"Killing them is to let everyone understand that the government is set up for the happiness of the people, and that the difficulties of the government are the convenience of the people!"

"Shen Liang is an exception. I... Li Chengqian, Duke Qian of the Tang Dynasty! I swear here, from now on, as long as I, Li Chengqian, stay in Qianzhou for a day, Qianzhou will be peaceful for a day!"

"Okay, well said!"

In order to flatter Li Chengqian, all the officials in the governor's office started to raise their arms and shout after Li Chengqian stopped talking.

With these officials taking the lead, the people also began to cheer.

Regardless of whether what Li Chengqian said is true or false, at least he solved the biggest bandit problem in Qianzhou. This alone is enough for the people to be grateful to him.

"Today, I will use the blood of bandits to wash away the grievances of the people!"

Li Chengqian waved his hands as he spoke.

The six bandit leaders were escorted to Liu Biao's side, and then they also knelt down facing the common people.

"These seven people are the cancer outside the city of Qianzhou!"

Li Chengqian shouted, "Come on, get ready!"

The seven bandit leaders' faces were ashen and their pupils were wide open.

Seven guards armed with swords came behind them and held their swords high.

Li Chengqian looked at them and said calmly: "Do you have any last words?"

Liu Biao looked up at the sky, his tears couldn't stop streaming down his face, "Damn Shen Liang, I've come to the underworld to settle accounts with you!"

Li Chengqian nodded, yes, Liu Biao is still very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"What about you?" Li Chengqian set his sights on the six bosses again.

Six people lowered their heads, and five of them turned their heads at the same time to look at Sai Zhuge, who was at the farthest end, and then roared unwillingly.

"Sai Zhuge, you also wait for me, in the underworld, I want to beat you to death!"

Through the incident of Jiufeng Mountain, these bandit leaders also understood one thing.

It turns out that scholars are not very reliable...
