Two months later, Xi Zhen and his entourage completed the recovery of the right to use the field and immediately rushed back to the capital without stopping.

"Your Majesty, it is soon time to plant rice, and I beg you to distribute the fields to the people immediately, so that they can catch up with this season's sowing and strive for a harvest this year."

In the box of a small teahouse on the outskirts of the city, several princes and nobles and Prime Minister Ji Chengfan were talking behind closed doors.

In this policy implemented by Shen Xizhen, they, the richest family members of the Xi Kingdom, suffered the most.

The thought that half of their land, estate, and slaves were about to be handed over was a knife in their hearts.

Moreover, as soon as the hereditary system of aristocracy was implemented, their children and grandchildren had no chance of retiring from their fathers and children, and could only rely on their own resources, so that the dream of 'generational honor' was dashed.

Now, seeing that Shen Xizhen is about to bring people to reclaim the fields, real estate and slaves, they are as anxious as ants in a hot nest.

"If you don't kill Shen Xizhen, it's hard to understand the hatred in your heart!" The man in ink said through gritted teeth.

"Thinking that she can get out of prison in a big prison, what can we do with her?" The man in green said worriedly.

"That's because she has the support of the emperor and the king of Qingping, but this time it's different, this time we can choose a place far away from the emperor......" Ji Chengfan leaned into their ears and said.

Everyone looked approving.

………………………

The work of recovering the land is very complicated, and it is necessary to take the approval letter stamped by the person with the right to use the land to the local land management office for review, and then the land user and the local manager will go to the field together to confirm, and the size of the field will be registered, and then the land user, the local manager and Shen Xizhen will sign and affix the fingerprint for confirmation.

Because each city is distributed with kings and nobles. Therefore, Xizhen needs to visit the cities to supervise the completion in person, and then return to Emperor Guangzhao.

Xizhen calculated that this work would take at least two months, so she asked her mother and sister-in-law to move into the agency house.

…………………….

Under the cover of 500 elite soldiers, ten ministers and pepper, Xi Zhen first collected it from the royal and noble houses in the capital.

Because Xizhen carried the edict of Emperor Guangzhao on her body, the nobles of the kings and grandsons did not dare to openly conflict with her.

In addition, no matter how arrogant the other party's attitude is, she is always kind and cheerful, and her actions are neat and decisive, which makes people unable to give birth to disgust. Therefore, in the end, he was happy to hand over the field. Some nobles also offered to hand over more. This was unexpected by Shen Xizhen.

Because this move won the support of the people, Shen Xizhen saw people kneeling down and kowtowing to her everywhere she went, saying that she was everyone's benefactor.

See this scenario. Xizhen was very moved in her heart and made up her mind to do more good things for them.

"Master, you are now closer to the people than your own relatives in the hearts of the people." Pepper said with a smile.

Xi Zhen smiled and said nothing.

……………………

A month later, the work on the southeast side was completed. They began to march northwest.

Everywhere she went, she would collect a handful of local soil. Wrap it in paper and write the name of the place on the outside.

The ministers were amazed and asked her, "Guang'anhou, what do you want this dirt for?" ”

"Analyze the soil." Xi Zhen replied.

These days come. Pepper has always dutifully guarded her side.

Even when everyone was asleep at night, Pepper remained in front of her door, holding the Qingyun Sword she had given him. Sit upright like a Buddha,

His eyes surged around warily. His ears are also keenly aware of the sounds around him, and only occasionally close his eyes and take a nap when he is too sleepy.

Several times, when Xizhen got up in the middle of the night and walked out, he could see that he was awake, and he suddenly felt extremely relieved and moved.

The fate between people was wonderful, and she knew from the first time she saw him that they would be destined.

Pepper, who always looks like she always has a bad smile on her face, is warm and pure, which also allows Shen Xizhen to trust his safety to him with confidence.

She knew he would live up to his mission.

And in his heart, she is more important than his own life.

Along the way, their tacit understanding has been increasing, and in the eyes of outsiders, their master-servant relationship can be called perfect.

……………………….

Another night, Hee Zhen asked Pepper to help her find a bundle of hay, and Pepper immediately complied.

Hee-jin folded the hay into a chubby figure of her height and weight, dressed it in her costume, and instantly, a dummy that looked exactly like her from a distance was made.

Both were very satisfied with the work.

"What do you do by being a dummy? Master. Pepper asked her.

"I'll need it tomorrow." Hee Zhen said to Pepper.

"Oh." Pepper replied, not asking any more questions.

…………………………….

In a ruined temple on the outskirts, a masked man dressed in black stood by the window.

He was tall, lanky, and carried an arrow on his back.

After about half a cup of tea, a man in purple and a man in green hurriedly walked in from outside.

Immediately afterward, two more men in dark robes walked in.

The man in black kept looking out the window, not looking back at the people or greeting them.

The four of them locked the door from the inside as soon as they entered.

The man in purple walked towards the black-clothed masked man, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Long, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Thanks to the Lord, it's not bad." The masked man said.

"Come, come and sit down, we have something important to ask you for." The man in purple said as he pulled him to the side of the stool to sit down, and the other three sat down directly across from him.

"What's the matter?" The masked man asked quietly, his eyes showing vigilance.

"So, we have been entrusted with your help in shooting a man." The man in purple said.

"Who?" The masked man asked again.

The man in purple took out a piece of paper and unfolded it. A woman's portrait appeared clearly in front of his eyes.

The masked man glanced at the portrait and his expression changed.

Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, the man in purple said again: "This is a person who has offended many people, and everyone wants to kill her, so you don't need to scruple too much." ”

"I see, I'm going to think about it." The masked man said.

"Looking at the Xi Kingdom, I'm afraid you're the only one who can shoot arrows from thirty zhang away. This time, too, we are going to launch from a long distance. A few of us will be next to you to witness it in person. The man in purple said.

The masked man slowly stood up.

The two men in dark robes exchanged glances. Put your hand in your sleeve.

Needless to say, they wanted to take out their weapons.

The masked man had just seen it.

He knew that if he didn't accept this task today, he wouldn't be able to go. Because the purple-clothed man and the three men came with weapons, and he knew from their eyes and physique that they were all strong martial artists.

"Master Zhang, when did you learn to be so ruthless?" The masked man asked coldly.

"Brother Long, people have been like this for a long time in the rivers and lakes. What if not? The man in purple said with a smile.

They have known each other for more than ten years.

"It's a reward." The man in purple then took a bag out of his pocket.

The masked man picked up the bag and weighed it, pleased with its portion. He said, "Okay, when will we act?" ”

"This afternoon."

"That's pretty fast."

"Yes."

"Then let's go together."

The group mounted their horses and ran towards the place designated by the man in purple.

…………………………………

In the afternoon, Hee-jin asked a few people to help fix the dummy on horseback, while she herself changed into men's clothes. Ride a horse with Pepper.

When he was about to reach a basin surrounded by cliffs, Xi Zhen raised his hand and motioned for everyone to speed up.

Everybody did so.

Suddenly a hundred horses galloped and the dust flew.

Suddenly, there were a few whooshing sounds. Arrows were fired at the dummy from the southeast, and several arrows were immediately struck by the dummy.

The dummy was unbalanced after being hit by several arrows. Lay down on his side.

The hundred horses continued to move forward quickly, and soon disappeared beyond the pass.

Now everyone understands - someone assassinated Xi Zhen, but Xi Zhen predicted it in advance, so he avoided it.

…………………….

"I shouldn't be alive, I shot her in several fatal parts." The masked man said to the man in purple.

"Yes, yes, she's going to die now, and we can go back to our lives." The man in purple said with a smile. At the same time, the man in purple winked at the other three.

Before the masked man could stand firmly, they stabbed him three times from behind, tilted his body to the left, and the whole person fell off the cliff.

The man in purple smiled and said to the other three, "Let's go." ”

The four of them left the scene in general manner.

……………………………

Two days later, Prime Minister Ji Chengfan and those nobles got together again.

"What? She's still alive? How is this possible? The man in ink was shocked.

"She knows the five techniques of metaphysics, and her attainments are extremely high, it seems that this matter has been calculated by her in advance." Ji Chengfan said.

"I thought that occult thing should not be taken seriously, but I didn't expect it to be a bit mysterious." The man in green said.

"I just don't know if she'll figure out how many of us, if that's the case, we'll be finished." The man in ink said again. I got goosebumps all over my body.

"This shouldn't be possible, and besides, we didn't do it ourselves, so I'm afraid of what it does?" The man in green said with a smile.

"So what's next? Do you just let her go? The man in ink asked with a frown.

"Since she can calculate everything, what else can we do with her?" The man in green shook his head helplessly.

"I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?" The man in ink turned around and asked Ji Chengfan. The man in green also looked at him.

During the whole meeting, Ji Chengfan maintained a pleasant face, as if nothing big could make him angry.

They sighed - the old fox's skill is so profound! (To be continued).
