Chapter 789
After all, there are only a few people who really like to live on the edge of a knife. Most people still hope to live a stable life.
Especially after having children, many people would not want their children to continue to be bandits.
If real bandits are like this, what about those private soldiers pretending to be bandits?
As soon as Luo Zheng released the news of the amnesty, many private soldiers were tempted, but they were worried that it was a trap and could not make up their minds for a while.
However, after some people secretly defected and accepted the amnesty, the rest of the people could no longer sit still.
Even the leader of the mountain stronghold was unwilling to wait any longer, and decisively sent someone to convey a message to Luo Zheng, expressing his willingness to accept the amnesty, but gave some conditions, hoping that Luo Zheng would agree.
Luo Zheng directly agreed to those conditions that were not excessive.
As for those diehards who put forward excessive demands, Luo Zheng did not negotiate with them at all. He directly gave them an ultimatum. If they continued to be stubborn, they would only end up being wiped out.
Anyway, many people have already accepted the amnesty, and these people just need an opportunity to redeem themselves from their crimes.
Those diehards who do not want to be credited as heroes by their former colleagues have no choice but to compromise.
In the end, most of these private soldiers accepted Luo Zheng's offer of amnesty, and only a few of them chose to secretly escape because they were involved in a major case.
Luo Zheng was not polite and directly issued a wanted order.
In this way, he defeated the private troops secretly raised by the King of Zhou without bloodshed.
After more than two months, King Zhou's condition not only did not improve, but became even worse.
Princess Zhou's condition is also not good.
When she saw King Zhou suffering a stroke and becoming paralyzed, she was secretly happy, thinking that from now on she would have the final say in the palace.
But she soon realized that something was wrong.
Because King Zhou was seriously ill, many people chose to defect.
In addition, the imperial envoy Luo Zheng also encouraged those who knew the truth to report secretly.
Soon someone secretly reported the illegal activities of King Zhou and his cronies.
The Princess of Zhou was the principal wife of the King of Zhou and held a very special status. Therefore, after the King of Zhou was enfeoffed, her family members moved to the King's fiefdom one after another.
Over the years, these people have been bullying others.
Naturally, they also committed many evil deeds such as bullying men and women, occupying people's land, and seizing property.
In the past, with the King of Zhou keeping a low profile, no one dared to file a complaint with the government.
Now that Luo Zheng was the imperial envoy and King Zhou was bedridden, many people naturally changed their minds.
Therefore, Luo Zheng received many reports about Princess Zhou's family.
After he sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, Princess Zhou's family naturally noticed it, so they immediately ran to Princess Zhou to complain, hoping that she could stop Luo Zheng from continuing the investigation.
Princess Zhou wanted to stop it, so she immediately sent someone to pass a message to Luo Zheng, asking Luo Zheng to just brush it off.
At first she thought Luo Zheng had obeyed her orders, until her family came to complain again, she realized that the situation was not good.
So he used Luo Zheng's identity to threaten him, trying to force Luo Zheng to compromise.
Luo Zheng did not give a perfunctory answer this time and directly sent someone to inform Yang Jing.
So Princess Zhou was placed under house arrest by Yang Jing.
Yang Jing did not dare to put her under house arrest openly. After all, Princess Zhou was his biological mother, and he could not be disobedient and unfilial to her.
But he secretly asked people to pretend to be the ghosts of Yang Xiu and Yang Shu at night to seek revenge on Princess Zhou.
Princess Zhou was so frightened that she fell ill again.
Even after Princess Zhou's family members were captured, she was unable to get up and look for Luo Zheng.
As one unjust case after another was exposed, King Zhou's reputation became increasingly notorious.
Every day when Yang Jing paid his respects to King Zhou, he would whisper to him the news outside, which made King Zhou so angry that he almost died on the spot!
But perhaps he didn't want to die so much that he managed to survive tenaciously.
This disappointed many people.
