Chapter 31: Oxhorn Mountain

Bite...... Bite......

The four corners of the main hall are full of wind chimes, making a pleasant sound, and the heads of the four major clans have complicated feelings, walk into the main hall, and see Chun Shenjun in official uniform, sitting on the main seat.

In the middle of the hall are placed four corners of the Ruijin incense burner, and on each side there are two tables, on which are placed delicacies, and there is no one else.

"See Chunshen-kun!"

Yu Valve, Cheng Mingze, Fan Tiancheng, and Yu Yu saluted, hugged their fists respectfully, bowed slightly, acted meticulously, and behaved nobly, which benefited from the cultivation of the ancient clan.

In order to separate from ordinary people, the clan pays attention to cultivating etiquette, and each member has to learn etiquette in the year of the general horn, and in the seven countries of the Reckless Continent, there used to be the most etiquette in which country.

"You may be seated!"

Chun Shenjun stood up, clenched his fists slightly, pointed to the table, and said with a smile.

Everyone sat down and chatted a little.

Chun Shenjun suddenly said: "The ancestors of the four family heads have made great achievements for the Chu State, added honors, and bathed in the emperor's grace, but there is a question, this government wants to verify, that is, are the four family heads willing to follow the ancestors?"

The lively atmosphere faded instantly, Cheng Mingze put down the chopsticks in his hand, his face was slightly solemn, and he thought about how to reply.

Chun Shenjun's purpose, they all know it, they want to raise 30 million grains through taxation.

Naturally, they don't want to!

30 million grains, how much does it have to be sold?

But Chun Shenjun's question made it difficult for them to answer.

The ancestors of the four major clans are all landlords, although they have no worries about food and clothing, and live a rich life, but they are not clan nobles.

At the end of the battle, the king of Chu was rewarded for his merits, and the ancestors of the four major clans were canonized as nobles.

It can be said that the four major clans can have today thanks to the sacrifice of their ancestors.

On the larger side, offering grain is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and on a smaller aspect, offering grain is the embodiment of the morality of the ancestors.

How can this be objected?

Chun Shenjun's question can be described as very sharp and tricky, so that people can't find an excuse to refute it.

If you don't want to, the reputation of the four major clans will be ruined, and you will be scolded as a scum who does not want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and you will be scolded as a beast who is not filial to your ancestors and has no virtue.

"Willing to emulate!"

Unable to find a reason to refute, the four masters could only smile bitterly and say against their will.

"Okay, after not losing the pillars of the country, now the Qin State is raising troops and attacking Qin County, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line are fighting bloodily to protect the family and defend the country, we are officials and nobles, we can't make them feel cold, the four family heads, what this government said is right, right?"

Chun Shenjun picked up a glass of wine, did not taste it, played with it in his hand, and showed a strange smile on his face.

Talk, focus on the heart!

The four masters felt their scalps tingling, and their hearts couldn't help but be vigilant, remembering that world-famous thing five hundred years ago.

"Could it be that there is a hidden sword and axe hand in the temple?"

Cheng Mingze said secretly, his eyes unconsciously looked at the hall, and found that the formation was dense, and he couldn't find out the truth and the truth, so he couldn't help but take a deep look at Chun Shenjun.

"The lord of the mansion understands the righteousness, which makes me admire!"

Cheng Mingze took a large number of turns, found that no one had spoken, glanced at Yu Valve, and found that the latter was like a meditating old monk, and couldn't help but clench his fists and say.

Fan Tiancheng and Qi Qi's hearts tightened, and they felt like they had fallen into a trap.

"The royal lord ordered that the front line needs 30 million grains, and the four family heads should think of a way, but don't chill the hearts of the soldiers, otherwise, I will not be willing to be an official in this place. ”

Chun Shenjun's words changed, his face was solemn, and he was full of threat.

The atmosphere of the main hall became frozen at some point, and the eyes of the four masters shrank.

Cheng Mingze frowned, ready to find an excuse to refute, if he let Chun Shenjun continue to speak, I am afraid that 30 million grains will be paid by the four major clans.

"Don't say that the lord of the mansion is unwilling, I won't agree, if anyone dares to chill the hearts of the soldiers, it is against the Yu family. ”

At this time, Yu Valve stood up and said, his face excited.

Cheng Mingze's face was completely gloomy, and when he was about to say something, he held back stiffly, and almost vomited blood in his heart.

"Okay, the Yu family master is righteous, what about the other three family heads?"

Surprise flashed in Chun Shenjun's eyes, and he glanced at Yu Valve deeply, and then his gaze fell on Cheng Mingze.

He knew that in addition, both the Fan family and the loss family were subject to the Cheng family.

"Back to the mansion master, I am also willing!"

Stirred up by the remnant valve, can Cheng Mingze still object? He can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

But don't underestimate the role of imperial power, the rise of the four major clans is to rely on the king's reward, if the Yu clan does its best to support the northern front, the king of Chu issues rewards, and the Yu clan's strength enters the court, then the life of their three major clans will come to an end.

Yu supports, and they must support it too.

"Back to the mansion master, the Fan family is also far away from supporting the front line!"

"Back to the mansion master, the loss clan is far from supporting the king's hegemony!"

Fan Tiancheng and Qi Yi saw the general trend, so they naturally didn't dare to object, stood up, and said with their fists clenched.

The two looked at Yu Valve's gaze, eager to cut the latter with a thousand knives.

"Okay, the four major clans collect 30 million grains in taxes, and this mansion will play the king's lord. ”

Chun Shenjun was very happy, he was also selfish when he said this, he said that forcing the four major clans to hand over 30 million grains was a tax, just to not ruin his reputation.

But he didn't know that what he did would set off a huge storm in the entire Chu State.

"My son, my father can only help with these things, and then it's up to you. ”

Yu Valve thought in his heart, looked at the wine in Chun Shenjun's hand, and still didn't put it down.

Obviously, this glass of wine is not for drinking.

"Perhaps, I can only choose this ......"

Cheng Mingze also found Chun Shenjun's wine glass, his heart tightened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Come, this house toasts everyone!"

Chun Shenjun said loudly, picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, with a smile on his face, and raised all the food, and the crisis of food shortage in Qin County could also be lifted.

............

Oxhorn Mountain!

There are few high mountains in Ba County, with dense jungle and steep terrain, with cliffs on three sides, and only one mountain road leads to the top of the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Inside this mountain, the largest bandit force in Ba County is hidden, the Black Fire Gang.

"Master, sixty miles ahead, it's Niujiao Mountain!"

An abandoned mountain villa with no people, the rest of his life was dressed in a white robe, holding a blood-drinking sword in his hand, and his body stood outstanding, and a ghost soldier knelt down in front of him, transformed into a human form, and reported respectfully.

Ghost soldiers, with the ability to transform all things, can transform various appearances, and do not affect the main body.

If you don't have a certain amount of cultivation, it's hard to find it at all.

"Well, encounter enemy scouts along the way, be careful to avoid them. ”

Yu Sheng said in a deep voice, his eyes a little expectant.

I don't know if Niujiaoshan is suitable for punching in, and whether I can get a gift bag.
