I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Rod duty forty!

Everyone gasped for a moment, this amount... If the person who did it went all out, the forty sticks can basically be buried directly.

The most important thing is that it is obvious that the King of the North doesn't intend to be kind.

The sheriff of Pinggang County stared: "Your Highness is going to abuse lynching?"

Well, this is how they dealt with the King of Yan before. Although the King of Yan lived a little extravagantly, he was very cowardly in this regard. Generally, he didn’t dare to control the county guards. It has become commonplace for these county guards to contradict the princes and kings. Fear of King Yan.

This habit has also been brought here by him. The King of the North does carry a lot of legends, but what does that have to do with them?

The King of the Northern Realm is alone, so how could they turn the world upside down with so many of them?

Unexpectedly, Liu Tan didn't have any intention of fear after listening to it, so he laughed directly: "If you insist on saying that, then it's okay. This king has abused lynching. If you have the ability, you can sue."

Crowd: ? ? ?

Dou Sibo stood aside and said tauntingly: "Sue? Even if you go to Chang'an, His Majesty and His Royal Highness might still dislike you and make His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory angry."

Dou Sibo may not be good at other things, but he is very clear about how much the emperor loves the King of the Northern Territory. After all, there are many people who wanted to come to Yan to be the prime minister.

People with high official positions are of course unwilling to come to such a remote place, but there are more people who spend time wasting time in Chang'an. Those people have no status in Chang'an, and their lives are just like that. Apparently, that day must have been much more nourishing than in Chang'an.

Taking ten thousand steps back, in Chang'an they still have to worry about offending high-ranking officials and nobles, but in Yan State, the Prime Minister is one person under ten thousand people, how chic and majestic?

Wasn't Dou Sibo able to be selected because he was careful and obedient enough?

Even before he came, he was asked by the emperor and the crown prince to talk to him respectively. The emperor asked him to talk to him in a more roundabout way. At that time, he just asked him to work hard and assist the king of the north.

Well, the focus was probably on assisting. At that time, Dou Sibo didn't think there was anything wrong.

It was only later that he was summoned by the prince again. This time His Royal Highness made it very clear, telling him not to disobey the king of the north. The king of the north thinks the emperor and the prince. Don't even think about staying in Yan Country.

This is why Dou Sibo dared to sue Liu.

Do you really think the King of the North came here alone?Do these idiots believe that they bullied the King of the Northern Realm on the front foot, and their relatives and elder brothers sent someone to clean you up on the back foot?

However, the King of the North is not easy to bully.

He just smiled and asked people to file a complaint casually. At this time, the county guards remembered that this... is not Liu Dan.

At the beginning, they had a good relationship with the original State of Yan. Once the King of Yan wanted to do something, they would unite with the Prime Minister to send eunuchs to the imperial court, and every time the King Yan would be reprimanded by the emperor.

So they are used to complaining about anything, but now this... doesn't seem to be afraid at all.

Liu Tan turned a deaf ear to the words of the sheriff of Pinggang County, and directly asked people to do it.

The sheriff of Pinggang County is also really a murderer. Seeing that he couldn't be frightened, he immediately resisted.

He is not ashamed of his height and weight, and he does look decent after posing.

It's just... that's what it looks like. Liu Tan came here this time with an elite group. They may not look so tall and strong, but in fact they are all thin, and everyone has their own clothes when they take off their clothes. Eight pack abs.

It didn't need many people, the four of them swarmed up and knocked him to the ground within three strokes.

The governor of Pinggang County is considered capable of fighting among the county guards of the Yan Kingdom, and the people of the Yan Kingdom are already tough, so his force value is considered high here, let alone in the Central Plains.

In the end, I didn't expect to encounter a hard stubble. When he was pressed on the stool and beaten, he was still in a daze.

When the other county guards saw that the person carrying out the stick duty was actually two of the four people just now, and they used all their strength every time, they had a bad premonition in their hearts.

If Liu Tan doesn't open the door, I'm afraid the sheriff of Pinggang County won't be able to survive.

In the beginning, the sheriff of Pinggang County was still very stubborn and silent, but after beating too much, he gradually became a little unbearable. At first, he hummed softly, and then his voice became louder. At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that the Northern Territory The king is for real.

The sheriff of Pinggang County was very flexible and began to beg for mercy, but Liu Tan acted as if he didn't hear it, sitting there watching quietly, without any expression on his face, his calmness was chilling.

As the number of times of the rod scolding increased, the voice of the sheriff of Pinggang County gradually became smaller, and then the person fell into a semi-consciousness, leaving only unconscious humming.

All the county guards had a feeling of cold lips and teeth for a while, and the Guangyang County Magistrate couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, please be kind to Your Highness."

Liu Tan closed his eyes and said calmly, "Anyone who begs for mercy will be punished the same."

The sheriff who originally wanted to intercede took a step back subconsciously. They are sorry for the sheriff of Pinggang County, but it doesn't mean that they will risk their lives for this person.

After a while, the sheriff of Pinggang County was completely silent. The two soldiers who were executing the execution still insisted on finishing the beating, then squatted down and tried the breath of the sheriff of Pinggang County, and then got up to report: "His Royal Highness, the prisoner has died."

Liu Tan opened his eyes and said, "Drag it down and clean it up."

Everyone felt chills when they saw his expressionless face, but at this time Liu Tan turned his eyes to them again, and at the same time he picked up the piece of paper and said, "Let me see who is next."

All the county guards suddenly lost their courage, and some even fought in two directions, as if they could not stand at any time.

"Li Kangcheng." Liu Tan nodded his name.

The sheriff of Guangyang County trembled all of a sudden, and quickly said: "I am here, Your Highness, I... I didn't intend to violate the rules, please forgive me once for the sake of General Li."

Liu Tan looked up at him: "General Li? Li Xi?"

The sheriff of Guangyang County immediately nodded frantically: "Exactly, I am a distant relative with him. According to seniority, I am his uncle."

Liu Tan: ...

He felt that Li Xi might not want this uncle very much.

However, this can also explain why this young man has always looked confident, because he thinks that he will tolerate it because he is close to the Li family?

Liu Tan put down the piece of paper and said, "Since that's the case, then you should understand my temper better. If you dare to act like this, then you know your mistakes and make mistakes, and you should pay more for your crimes."

Li Kangcheng:? ? ? ? ?

He is a little bit bad. Isn't it said that the king of the North takes good care of his own people?How come it becomes a crime when you come to him?

But the good thing about Li Kangcheng is that even if he commits a crime, he just talks too much, and Liu Tan feels more like testing his bottom line.

That being the case, let Li Kangcheng know his bottom line.

Liu Tan said: "The rod is responsible for fifteen."

Li Kangcheng's face turned green. Although he belonged to the Li family, he didn't like martial arts by nature, so he was a frail scholar at all. If he gets down with fifteen sticks, he will be crippled even if he doesn't die.

But he is smarter, he doesn't seem like the governor of Pinggang County, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for being lenient."

Liu Tan looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, and glanced at the two people who were executing the execution, they instantly understood.

So when Li Kangcheng came down with the fifteen sticks, although his buttocks were swollen, he was not killed or disabled, which made Li Kangcheng teary-eyed and very moved.

The rest of the county guards realized this when they saw this, and began to plead guilty one after another.

Liu Tan also treated each person equally, giving each person fifteen sticks, but some were beaten harder, while others were beaten less.

The only one who was not beaten was probably the sheriff of Liaoxi County, because among these people, only the sheriff of Liaoxi County was silent from beginning to end. Well, his name was Yang Moment.

Yang Moment took the exam honestly. Although the level may not be very high, Liu Tan's requirements for the county guards of Yan State are not as high as those of Northern Border State, as long as they are obedient.

So not only did he not punish Yang Moment, he even praised Yang Moment.

Of course, rewards are unnecessary. Yang Momo just did the right thing, not meritorious. We can't give them the illusion that being obedient is meritorious. Otherwise, if everyone is obedient, will they be rewarded or not?

After all this tossing, Liu Tan looked at the wounded people lying on stretchers all over the room, and said very perfunctorily: "At first, I wanted to entertain you all and have a happy gathering with you, but now it seems that it is not a coincidence, so you should go back to recuperate first. Let’s discuss it after the injury recovers.”

The sheriffs: ...

After these county guards were carried away, Dou Sibo said excitedly: "Your Highness, it's a good idea, this time they should be submissive."

Watching the offender being beaten to death one by one is more shocking than being beheaded directly.

The beheading was the scene at that time, but the punishment of the rod was torture for everyone.

Liu Tan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Some of these people look like desperadoes. Now they look scared, but they may not be really honest, and they may even jump around."

After hearing this, the smile on Dou Sibo's face gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but frown: "But... if this is the case... then what should we do?"

Liu Tan glanced at him: "What should I do? If you don't obey me, beat me up."

There is no need to slap a sweet date or anything, Liu Tan just wants to beat them until they dare not play tricks.

He didn't believe that someone in his hand was sick, and there was someone covering him, so could he still be bullied by these muddy things that couldn't stick to the wall?

Dou Sibo was a little worried at first, but now that His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm is confident, he calmed down.

He is good at this, as long as he has a backbone, he can do things step by step without being affected at all.

After tidying up the sheriff, Liu Tan had a bunch of other things to do. He said to Dou Sibo, "Send someone to touch the bottom of Jicheng first, and see how many rangers there are here."

The so-called rangers are more often than not different from buying murder to kill people. It is true that some of these people are chivalrous and righteous, but there are also people who ignore human life.

In the past, Liu Tan still thought about tolerating those chivalrous men and severely punishing desperadoes, but later he discovered that sometimes there is no difference between the two.

When a chivalrous man acts chivalrously, he is also a desperado in another sense.

Therefore, what Liu Tan has to do now is to clean up the ethos of Yan State. If it is too late for other places, he will start with Jicheng first.

Dou Sibo is still useful in general affairs, Liu Tan didn't tell him what to do, but he himself had a plan in his mind, and he took the order to go.

Liu Tan directly allocated him an elite group of 50 people, telling him to use it carefully.

After he left, Liu Tan turned around and started writing letters.

This letter was written to Huo Guang, mainly to ask how the development of black powder is now. If it is a little more stable, then send some over.

When Liu talked about it, he only asked the elite regiment to come here with simple armaments. Originally, he thought that he came here to govern the country of Yan, and not to fight with his own people. The elite regiment is equipped with hand crossbows. So many armaments?

What's more, the country of Yan doesn't have nothing at all, does it?

But he never expected that Liaodong County would be snatched away and everyone didn't know about it, so it was outrageous.

Anyway, when he just arrived in Yan State, the first thing he had to do was to find out the details and know the situation of the common people. It would be inappropriate to make too big a move, so it is better to take advantage of this time to snatch Liaodong County back.

However, it is estimated that Liu Tan will have to pay for the mobilization of troops this time, and it is not the northern border country that pays. The country of Yan has nothing to do with the northern border country. How will the treasury over there keep accounts?

Liu Tan was angry while writing the letter. He thought that he might need to spend part of the money to get here, but it doesn't matter, anyway, his father will subsidize him, and there is nothing here in Yan Country. It is close to the sea. , and mountains, there are actually a lot of resources here, and it is not very difficult to develop the economy.

The investment in the early stage is invested, and it can always be earned back later. Not only can it be earned back, but it may also be possible to engage in several cooperation projects with the northern border country, and it will be very good to make progress together at that time.

But fighting a war is not the same as spending money in administration, and fighting a war is not called spending money or burning money.

Here Liu Tan is angry, while the county guards over there are weak and strong, even after being beaten up, they still insist on getting together to come up with bad ideas.

Of course, there are no Liaoxi County Sheriff and Li Kangcheng among these people.

The governor of Liaoxi County has never been with them, but Li Kangcheng has realized that he has something to do with Li Xi anyway, so Liu Tan shouldn't make things difficult for him because of this.

And just by looking at Dou Sibo, you can tell that if you are honest and obedient, the King of the North will take care of you, otherwise... the sheriff of Pinggang County will be the end.

So this time, he didn't plan to hang out with these people at all. Of course, the main reason was that he was different from those people. He came from a good background.

The Li family is considered a big family. Besides Li Xi, there are many other people who are officials all over the country, and his family also has some families.

And those county guards are basically from poor backgrounds, and the county guards who rely on recommendation to take care of the family alone and greedy for money are naturally reluctant to let go.

At this time, led by the sheriff of Yuyang County, a group of people gathered in his room, and the sheriff of Yuyang County said: "Now there is only one way out, and that is for everyone to work together to write a letter together!"

The sheriff of Ji County hesitated and asked, "But...is it really useful?"

The sheriff of Yuyang County said: "How can it be useless? If there is only one person, it will be nothing, but with so many of us, even Your Majesty has to be cautious."

Everyone thought about it, they can basically represent the country of Yan, as for the three missing, one is dead, one has always been mute, and the other has something to do with the king of the north, so it is naturally uncertain of.

So a group of people began to jointly write memorials.

The scolding just now did scare them, but it was someone else who died, not them, and they were not reconciled to letting them just sit and wait for death.

Liu Tan had already cast his eyeliner in the posthouse, and he didn't care after hearing that they had made a joint memorial, so he smiled and turned around and wrote a letter to his father and brother.

Complain, who wouldn't.

Both parties who filed the complaint originally regarded this as a normal quarrel, but no one expected Liu Che's reaction to be so big.
