"Last general Xue Wanche, please see Your Highness!" After the notice, Xue Wanche took a wooden box from the soldiers behind him and walked into the tent with his head held high, then respectfully half-kneeled on the ground and bowed to Li Chengming with his fists.

Just asked Luo Ning to leave to appease the civilians who had gathered this time, Li Chengming was planning to think about how to arrange the next step, but unexpectedly, he received a request from Xue Wanche.

This time, the army sent by Li Shimin had a total of more than 30,000 civilians. The main task of these civilians was to transport food and grass, and sometimes they had to help us to open the road, and even when the war was not going well, they might charge with them. It can be said that it was very hard.

In fact, it was not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the people of all dynasties needed to perform labor service. Well, it was actually just doing free hard work.

Before, Li Chengming had only thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and because of expansion, he did not recruit ordinary people to perform labor service. Even if he got some food and grass in Wannian County, it was transported by the soldiers collected by the county militia.

However, it is different now than before. When he completes the acquisition of the defeated soldiers he has collected this time, his strength will be enough to reach more than 20,000.

With so many people, it is naturally impossible for soldiers to do everything as before. After all, the main task of soldiers is to train and fight, rather than to come to do these messy chores, so these tens of thousands of civilians naturally need to keep them.

However, although he planned to keep these tens of thousands of civilians, Li Chengming was not so harsh that he really kept all of these tens of thousands of civilians. After all, there were some elderly or younger, or sickly-ridden civilians. Li Chengming directly asked Luo Ning to conduct a major screening and put some civilians who did not meet the specifications back directly.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Chengming looked at Xue Wanche who was half kneeling on the ground and the wooden box he had just placed on the ground, raised his eyebrows and said, "Get up, thank you for your hard work, how are the things going?"

"Thank you Your Highness!" Xue Wanche stood up from the ground, and took up the wooden box on the ground, and then said respectfully, "Go back to Your Highness, I am fortunate to be humiliated and have taken down all the rebels. It contains the head of Zhou Xingxiu, the rebel chief of the Xicheng Gate, this time. Please check it out."

"No need, I can trust you with such trivial matters!" Li Cheng waved his hand clearly, stopping Xue Wanche from giving his head.

Although he has killed many people in this world, if he really wants to put his head in front of him, he will definitely have to respond in his heart, and maybe he may have nightmares at night.

I guess this is also the reason why Xue Wanche puts his head in a wooden box, otherwise, as I saw on TV, I would just grab a person with wide eyes and bloody head in, and the visual sense, tsk...

"Yes, Your Highness!" Xue Wanche obediently retreated, then took two steps back and stood back.

"Your Highness, in addition to killing the thief chief Zhou Xingxiu, the last general also arrested several major Huixian families who participated in the rebellion. I wonder what these people should do?" Xue Wanche asked again with his fists.

After hearing Xue Wanche's words, Li Chengming finally knew why Xue Wanche had been there for so long before he came back. It seemed that he not only took down the Xicheng Gate, but also defeated the rebels of the Xicheng Gate, but also captured the rebels involved in the rebellion.

Li Chengming raised his eyebrows and took a sip, "How many people are there to ask why they suddenly betrayed... Forget it, what should you do with these people?"

Originally, Li Chengming wanted to ask why these people suddenly rebelled, but before he could ask, he felt that this question was a bit boring.

At this time, Li Chengming remembered a passage written by a famous person in his previous life: When capital has more than 50% profit, it will stand up and take risks; if there is 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world; if there is 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, or even risk being hanged.

For these wealthy families who suddenly rebelled, if they succeeded, they would not only make 300% profits, to shine their families, to win over their wives and children, to make them become nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and to extend their descendants. How could they refuse such temptation?

After all, with their previous strength, anyone with discerning eyes can tell at a glance that they are most likely to lose. If that is the case, it would be natural for them to take some credit.

Of course, it is a natural or even a great thing for them, but it is an extremely evil thing for themselves, because if they succeed, then the person who dies now will be themselves.

It is still a matter of whether the butt determines the head. Perhaps, there are no so-called good people in this world. In my own position, I will always be a good person, and the thief will never admit that he is a thief.

"Go back to Your Highness, follow our Tang Dynasty laws, those who plan to rebel and rebel will be punished to kill the nine clans!" Xue Wanche said in a deep voice with his fist.

The three seemingly simple words to kill the nine clans, but they are one of the most cruel laws of involuntary action in this era. One person breaks the law, and the nine clans are bound by it. Often at least hundreds of innocent people die.

When Li Chengming used to be an ordinary person, he sneered at such a cruel method, but now he feels that he is not that cruel.

As the saying goes, people are not cruel and cannot stand firm. When they reach their current status, Li Chengming finally understands that those in power will come up with such cruel laws.

When ordinary laws lose their effectiveness, only such cruel laws can shock these ambitious ambitions with ulterior motives.

His eyes flashed for a moment, and then Li Chengming said, "There are too many nine clans, and I don't want to implicate them. I just need to confiscate their property and destroy the three clans!"

"Your Highness is kind!" Xue Wanche said with his fists.

Li Chengming shook his head. After all, he was a little soft-hearted. If it were an ancient emperor, such as these big families, if they really wanted to rebel, the nine clans would only operate normally, and even kill ten clans would be possible.

"You are tired for a day, so you'll leave this to someone else!" Li Chengming's eyes flashed for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Come here!"

"Your Highness!" The guards guarding outside the camp immediately appeared in the camp.

"Look at if Wang Fusheng is still outside the camp, if so, let him come in!" Li Chengming said lightly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The guard went out, and soon after, he saw Wang Fusheng bowing slightly and walking in behind the guard. After seeing Li Chengming, he knelt down without even a single backbone and bowed, "Your Highness has seen you, your Highness, you have been thousands of years old!!!"
