Shortly after General Ohkawa Gen left the capital, Kato Jiro also appeared at the north gate of the capital, and his 300 arresting personnel were ready.
At this time, no matter why you follow General Daheyuan's army, as long as you want to find out their whereabouts, then you may be working for local officials. When the time comes, they will catch you and torture you, and by the way, they will be able to find out who your superiors are. At that time, the court will hold you accountable. If he still wants to survive, he'd better pay the taxes, otherwise he will become the target of the court's authority.
During this period, any other local officials with any brains will automatically pay the taxes they are owed. If you still don't pay after being shown authority three times, you will probably be the next person to be shown authority.
"What are you doing? I'm a merchant who often walks this road. I just sell some woven goods from the countryside to the capital. I've been walking this route for two years. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around. I'm not a spy as you say."
"I'm also here in Beijing to sell vegetables. If farmers don't sell these vegetables quickly, they'll go bad if we take them back. Who can I get information from? I'm just an ordinary farmer."
After Kato Jiro's men came down from the city wall, all the people passing by were arrested. Anyone who walked towards General Okawagen's marching route was considered a suspect. Regardless of what happened to them, they were taken back and tortured.
"You don't have to yell at me. Someone will come and slowly identify you all. Take them all away. If one of you escapes, you won't be able to get your heads back. Now that His Highness has handed this matter over to us, we must show His Highness our loyalty."
Kato Jiro was naturally dissatisfied because he did not get the opportunity to send troops, but His Highness also gave him another opportunity, which was to find out all the traitors in the city. If Li Xiang had a group of such people living around him every day, he would feel very uncomfortable.
Normally, these people might just be gathering information and wouldn't pose much of a threat to your life, but if you received an assassination mission, would you still go and capture them? If you could capture them, that would be great, but if you couldn't, who would be the one to lose their head? What if it was you?
Therefore, Li Xiang's usual approach to these potential threats is to catch them all in one fell swoop. He would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one go. Although you are farmers who come to sell vegetables, who knows whether you will report the news to the capital after you go back.
It is undeniable that there must be spies among them, but most of them are ordinary people around the capital. You can only blame your bad luck. General Daheyuan's army has just set out, and you guys followed. If you say that you have no other ideas, that's probably not true. Let's take you down for investigation first.
It would be best if you could find out, but if you can't, you can't go home. Since His Highness has given the order, you can only leave on the transport ship. As for your destination, you can pray to Amaterasu. Maybe he will show up and tell you where to go.
In Fuso, the most terrifying thing in recent days is not being killed, but disappearing for no reason. In fact, these people are not missing, they are just sent to transport ships. As for where these transport ships are going, I am afraid only those who drive the ships know.
The people of Fuso don’t know where the missing people have gone, but they do understand one truth, that is, these people will never come back. The originally crowded streets are now deserted.
"Someone escaped."
The two strong men relied on their martial arts skills to overthrow the soldiers next to them and ran towards the distant mountains and forests. Kato Jiro sneered, and the dozen or so archers next to them instantly raised their bows and arrows.
Before they could run a few steps, a whooshing sound was heard, and the two men immediately turned into hedgehogs, deader than dead. Among the remaining people, there were some who knew martial arts, and they also thought about escaping along the way, but after seeing this scene, they honestly gave up the idea, because running away was tantamount to suicide.
"Everyone, I have seen it clearly. If you still want to escape, I don't mind turning you into the same state."
At this moment, Kato Jiro was like a cold-blooded weapon. He didn't care about the pleading eyes of these people at all. At this moment, he had only one idea, which was to turn himself into a sharp knife in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a sharp knife to deal with the Fuso people.
As long as it is an order given to him by His Highness Tyson, he must carry it out 100% without compromise. Those who followed General Ohkawa Gen on this road were all spies. Kato Jiro also remembered this sentence. Although many of them were farmers at first glance, His Highness the Crown Prince would be happy to send them to Goryeo.
It is said that the winter temperature in the north of Goryeo is enough to freeze people to death, but the land there is extremely fertile, with large tracts of black soil that can be cultivated once a year. The people living there may have very difficult conditions, but they can also provide a large amount of food to the court every year.
Some time ago, we couldn't find the fertile black soil, but now we have finally found it. Now that we have found it, we have to send people to cultivate it. A large number of Fuso people are a good choice.
Li Xiang only mentioned it in front of them, and many people didn't remember it at all, but Kato Jiro remembered it. As long as there was something that could make Li Xiang happy, Kato Jiro would imprint it completely in his mind and then send these people over without any hesitation.
Kato Jiro was very clear that he was just a young general guarding Fuso. No matter what major events happened, it would be impossible for him to rise across social classes. However, because of the arrival of the Tang army, Kato Jiro had already touched the edge of the highest power.
As long as I complete the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince perfectly, I can become the patriarch of a huge family like those large families, and countless people in history will remember my name. As for these Fuso people arranged by him, you are all my stepping stones!
