With the successful conclusion of the Luoyang trial, the turbulent public opinion set off by the famous people of the family finally came to an end.

But that doesn't mean the Maison is willing to tie its hands down, and an even bigger storm is quietly blowing.

At the same time, seeing that the time was ripe, Wei Shuo immediately ordered the implementation of the Juntian system in the Central Plains.

In the next less than half a month, Cui Hao, Gao Hu, and Lu Zongzhi respectively led people to various places to implement the Juntian system.

Overall, things went fairly smoothly with few major problems.

By the beginning of June, most of the counties in the Central Plains had successfully completed the land grant.

Next, Wei Shuo, Cui Hao, Gao Hu, Lu Zongzhi and others began to set their sights on southern Henan and Yandong.

……

On this day, Lu Zongzhi was ordered to lead people to Yandong to prepare to start clearing the land of Lu County.

Almost all the land in Lu County is monopolized by the Confucian family, and the area of land it occupies is more than 70% of all cultivated land in Lu County.

In addition, the land occupied by the Confucian family is the most fertile, the water conservancy facilities are also the most perfect, the terrain is also very flat, and the grain production is quite high.

If Hexi wants to complete the land clearance in Lu County, he must start with the Kong family.

However, because the Kong family has been secretly resisting, the progress of the land clearance errand in Lu County has been extremely slow.

In the past, the government's focus had always been around Luoyang, and it didn't care about the Yandong counties, but now it has finally freed up its hands.

Although Qufu is not an important city, because of the presence of the Confucian family, it is more prosperous than ordinary cities.

The city is lined with houses, the streets are staggered, and the streets are full of people.

After entering the city, Lu Zongzhi and others directly sent invitations to all the families in the city.

It's a routine, and it's basically done in the past.

The heroes of Lu County heard that Lu Zongzhi was coming, and they heard that he was coming to Qingzhang Land, and they were all like facing a great enemy.

After receiving the invitation, the local heroes had mixed reactions.

Someone was dismissive and threw the invitation aside.

Some people also think that Hexi is strong, so they have to give King Yong a face.

Therefore, a small number of small and medium-sized heroes were soon invited.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lu Zongzhi did not rely on Yongwang Huwei to deliberately put on a stinky shelf.

On the contrary, he talked and laughed with everyone, so that Zhong Haoqiang could not see that he had any hostility.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people coming in, Lu Zongzhi waited for a while until no one came in again.

Only then did he sit down behind the table and asked in a deep voice to everyone: "Are all the powerful family masters in Lu County here?" ”

Everyone looked around and showed surprise.

And in this surprised expression, there was a hint of weirdness.

Lu Zongzhi immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong.

He frowned, and asked Hu Shen next to him, "What's the matter?" Could it be that there are still people who haven't arrived? ”

Although Hu Shen is young, he is his right-hand man, who is responsible for handling some trivial matters.

Before officially clearing the land, it is necessary to send people around to inquire about the news and find out the reality of the local heroes.

And these news will all gather here in Hu Shen.

Therefore, he is clear about how many families there are in Lu County, who the head of the family is, and how much land each family has.

Now that Lu Zongyi asked, Hu Shen swept his gaze roughly in the hall.

He leaned over and whispered in Lu Zongzhi's ear: "My lord, something is wrong, the Kong family and other major families don't seem to have come. ”

"The Kong family?"

Lu Zongzhi's face became a little ugly, the Kong family is the family with the most land in Lu County.

The reason why this is so is because Qufu was originally the foundation of the Confucian family.

Their ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years, and it is the place where their family thrived.

In Lu County, especially in Qufu, the Confucian family was very powerful.

Although it has declined due to the war, its influence is still not to be underestimated.

Speaking of which, this Confucian family has a deep relationship with Hexi.

A few days ago, the Confucian family united with hundreds of celebrities to set off turbulent public opinion, trying to force Hexi to make concessions.

Unexpectedly, King Yong passed the Luoyang trial, which dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the family.

Moreover, the Confucian family has always opposed the implementation of the uniform field system, and it is reasonable not to accept the invitation now.

However, the Confucian family deliberately did not come, which was tantamount to provoking the majesty of Hexi.

As the largest family in Lu County, the Kong family has a lot of influence in the local area, and its every move will affect other powerful people.

At this time, the Kong family made it clear that they would not cooperate and that they wanted to confront.

If Lu Zongzhi can't give a strong response, it will inevitably cause other powerful families to follow suit.

If this is the case, then Hexi wants to clear the land in Lu County, and it will be impossible to talk about it.

Lu Zongzhi's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but soon a smile appeared on his face again.

"The Kong family is not coming, let's talk about it later, the official will talk to you first."

Next, Lu Zongzhi explained some details of the process of clearing the land, as well as the requirements for the cooperation of the family, to everyone in detail.

In fact, he didn't need to talk about these things at all, and those wealthy families had already inquired clearly.

After explaining all the rules, Lu Zongzhi's face sank, and he sneered: "Since the Kong family is not coming, the official has no choice but to send someone to the door." ”

He turned his head and instructed a small official: "You take people, go directly to the Kong family manor, and start clearing the land." ”

"No!" The little official answered, and was ordered to lead the people away.

Above the lobby, everyone looked at each other one by one, and secretly discussed: "The people of Hexi are really powerful, they really dare to take the Kong family first!" ”

At this moment, there are people who are uneasy in their hearts, and there are more people who gloat and want to watch a good show.

When the little official left with the people, about a quarter of an hour, there was a sudden commotion outside.

I saw a large group of people suddenly rushing in from outside, and it was the group of officials who had just left.

It's just that their appearance at this time is completely different from when they went out before.

They were all very embarrassed, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and some of their heads were broken, and they were covered in blood.

The leading officer's eyes were a little bruised and swollen, and his forehead was also broken, and he seemed to be a little bloody.

There were also many footprints on the body, and it was obvious that they had just been beaten up.

When the little official saw Lu Zongzhi, his face was full of shame, and he immediately knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"My lord, my subordinates are not doing things well, and I ask you to punish them."

Lu Zongzhi furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The man endured the pain and recounted the course of the matter.

It turned out that he received Lu Zong's order, so he led people straight to the Kong family manor.

The Kong family manor had already prepared, and the courtyard had already assembled the troops, each holding a stick and waiting for it.

As a result, as soon as they broke in, they were swarmed by the Confucian family and knocked them to the ground.

Caught off guard, the small officials were pressed to the ground by the other party and beaten violently.

They were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, their heads broken and bleeding, and the most serious ones even broke their legs.

In the end, everyone was carried and thrown out by the Confucian family.

After Lu Zongzhi listened, there was a flash of green energy on his face.

"The Kong family is so bold that even my Hexi people dare to fight!"

"Humph! What's so great about you in Hexi, why don't my Kong family dare to fight? ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Kong Fu forcibly breaking in with hundreds of Kong family tribes.

Seeing this situation, Lu Zongzhi's face changed greatly, and he suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, I saw that Kong Fu didn't talk nonsense after he came in, and directly ordered people to arrest Lu Zongzhi, Hu Shen and other Hexi officials.

"You...... Are you going to rebel? ”

"Hey, hey! That's right, Master Lu is right, my Kong family is going to create your Hexi rebellion! ”

"Someone! Arrest them all for me, and wait for the sword to be sacrificed in the future. ”

With Kong Fu's order, the Kong family rushed up and directly arrested Lu Zongzhi and others.

Lu Zongzhi did not resist, but looked at the people of the Kong family coldly, as if he were a dead person.

Kong Fu seemed to be a little unhappy with Lu Zongzhi, and immediately ordered someone to drag Lu Zongzhi out and beat him violently.

Lu Zongzhi didn't shout, just stared at everyone.

For some reason, it made the Kong family shudder.

……

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, there was a guard outside the door who reported: "Your Royal Highness, Lord Servant Shot urgently asks to see you." ”

"Let him in!"

Suddenly, I saw Cui Hao hurriedly walk in.

He held an urgent report in his hand, with an anxious look on his face, and it was obvious that something urgent had happened.

"What happened?"

Cui Hao presented the urgent report to Wei Shuo, and said eagerly: "Your Highness, the scout is here to report, the family has rebelled!" ”

"What?!"

"The families of Yandong counties in southern Henan took the Confucian family as the leader of the alliance and officially raised the banner to rebel."

"The one hundred and ten officials sent to the land of Qingzhang in southern Yandong and Henan may have encountered an accident."
