"Someone will take Jiao Liyan and Shao Dong down and take strict care," Liu Ziqiu pondered for a long time, but still decided to make this matter clear, and ordered: "Tumulu, you immediately rush to Linqiang County, bring all the people in the county government and the soldiers present here, and I will personally interrogate it."

Linghu Zhengxing sneered on the side: "Who will believe you?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to me whether you do it or not," Liu Ziqiu said lightly, "Linghu Zhengxing, you will neither surrender nor force Liu, from today onwards, your whole family will be abolished as a common person's property, and all the property will not be collected, Liu will not be killed, and you will be allocated fifty acres of land, you will be self-reliant."

Linghu Zhengxing has always refused to surrender, and he originally thought that he would die, but he was surprised when he heard the words: "You don't kill me"

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "You are loyal to Yang Yu, Liu Mou helped Yang Qidao, and they are not the same, but this crime does not lead to death, Liu Mou killed what you do, but Liu Mou will not do a stupid thing about returning to the mountain, although you are not a tiger, but Liu Mou still has to set a rule for you, and you must not leave Xiping County within three years, otherwise Liu Mou will kill your whole family, and the Linghu clan will be abolished as commoners."

The reason why the family became a family is because their children can be officials for generations, and if all of them are deposed as commoners, then they are at best a large family with a relatively large population, in fact, in many villages, the villagers are often related to each other, but can only be regarded as a big family, and cannot be called a family, because they do not have enough power, and these power comes from the official positions held by the people in the family

Linghu Zhengxing can ignore his own life, or the safety of his family, but he can't ignore the future of the entire Linghu family, it is not easy for a second-rate family to develop, if he dies because of him, then his sin will be great, Linghu Zhengxing gritted his teeth with hatred, but he only sighed and bowed his head to accept his fate

At dawn the next day, Liu Ziqiu ordered someone to bring Jiao Liyan and Shao Dong and his wife to the front and let them each tell what happened that day, in fact, before that, Liu Ziqiu had asked the maid in the county government and the other soldiers who were hiding outside the door at that time, and learned that Shao Dong had just left, and Jiao Liyan came out of the tent, and the short time was not enough for him to "commit the crime" This not only has the testimony of Jiao Liyan's soldiers, but also the maids who were kicked out of the house also confirmed the situation at that time, Liu Ziqiu basically figured out the original reason of the matter, although Jiao Liyan's approach was inappropriate, but it was not a violation of military discipline, Liu Ziqiu was completely relieved, and then the three of them were interrogated

Sure enough, there was no discrepancy between what Mrs. Shao and Jiao Liyan said, and there was no chance or possibility of collusion between them

Shao Dong pointed to his wife and said: "You, a cheap woman with a water xìng Yanghua, actually helped him to speak, and a woman like the lord didn't want to go down to the official, just ask the lord to be strict with military discipline and execute this pair of dog men and women."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "choking" sound, Fan Lihua, who was standing next to Wen Hao, actually pulled out a sword and stabbed Shao Dong in the chest, Fan Lihua's swordsmanship was superb, and even Liu Ziqiu didn't have time to dodge Shao Dong, where could he dodge that sword, which had already pierced through the back from the front chest

"You, you kill innocents indiscriminately, the lord wants to preside over justice for the lower officials," Shao Dong pointed at Fan Lihua, and his eyes were full of resentment

"Hmph, I'm not a soldier, I'm not bound by military discipline, what if I kill you, a negative man," Fan Lihua kicked Shao Dong in the chest, took advantage of the situation, pulled out the sword, and blood splashed everywhere, Shao Dong fell down unwillingly

Yesterday, when Liu Ziqiu asked about those soldiers and maidservants, all the generals were listening, Fan Lihua was also present at the time, so she knew that things were probably listening to Shao Dong's words, she was so angry that she drew her sword and killed Shao Dong, Liu Ziqiu knew that she was like a raging fire, so she waved her hand helplessly and said: "Drag it out"

Fan Lihua didn't stop, and with a twist of her wrist, the long sword pointed directly at Jiao Liyan, and shouted: "You stinky men will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, but you call a weak woman to live, how can you live Jiao Liyan, you either marry her, or I will kill you."

Liu Ziqiu was a little crying and laughing, and couldn't persuade him: "Mrs. Wen, this kind of thing should be like you, how can I mess with the mandarin duck spectrum?"

Fan Lihua pointed at Jiao Liyan and said, "I want him to say it himself."

Wen Hao hurriedly persuaded: "Yu'er can't be unreasonable to the lord"

Jiao Liyan also stiffened his chest and said, "You put down the sword first, I'll talk about it."

Several people were noisy and noisy, and there was a mess in the mansion, Wen Hao persuaded Fan Lihua again, and then he hung down his sword

Jiao Liyan secretly glanced at Mrs. Shao and whispered, "Even if I want to, I have to ask other girls."

Fan Lihua turned to the young woman and asked, "Would you like to marry him?"

Seeing the blood all over the ground, Mrs. Shao had no one on her face for a long time, she only knew that she couldn't stop nodding and couldn't say a word

Fan Lihua turned to Jiao Liyan again: "What else do you have to say?"

Jiao Liyan smiled and said, "Thank you Mrs. Wen for being the matchmaker, I am naturally willing"

In the past, although Jiaoliyan was the leader of a small tribe, he was not much more noble than ordinary herdsmen, and he also had to participate in heavy labor, so if Jiaoliyan wanted to marry a wife, he must marry a tribal woman who could bear hardships and stand hard work, and the Han woman was too delicate and not his first choice, but with the change of status, Jiaoliyan no longer needed to herd horses and sheep himself, he ate military food, received Yulu, and could support his family, and his mentality naturally changed, and he fell in love with the Han woman Shao Dong's wife, who was young and beautiful, small and exquisite, which was the type he liked, as for whether it was a yellow flower girl, these grassland men never cared

Fan Lihua said again: "Jiao Liyan, from now on, you can't bear her, otherwise I will never spare you."

"That's that," Jiaoli Yannuo looked at Wen Hao again and again, but there was a little sympathy

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "Although it is a messy mandarin duck score, it can be regarded as a happy marriage, and the three armies have a day off, everyone comes to drink Jiao Liyan's wedding wine, by the way, we don't know the name of the bride yet, Jiao Liyan, you don't ask."

Jiao Liyan scratched his head, only knew that he was smiling, but the woman was a little shy and blushed and said: "Everyone, the people's wife's family name is Du Xiaoming, Yuelian."

"Du Yuelian," Liu Ziqiu frowned and asked, "What is the relationship between the Du family and you?"

Since he got in touch with the Xie family in Jiangnan, Liu Ziqiu knew that if he wanted to dominate the world, the big families were a hurdle that could not be bypassed, unless he used iron-blooded means to kill a cruel kill, Liu Ziqiu was not a good person, but let him destroy one or two families was not a problem, if he wanted to get rid of the world's families, how many lives would have to be filled, Liu Ziqiu would never be able to do such a thing, so when Xihai County gradually became calmer, Liu Ziqiu began to collect information about the families in various places, but it was not until the arrival of the fifteen caravans that Liu Ziqiu had an understanding of the strength and distribution of the families in various places

Like the Linghu family, it is just a second-rate family, but their sphere of influence is only limited to Xiping County, after Liu Ziqiu occupies Xiping County, it is almost like crushing an ant to kill them, so Liu Ziqiu will do nothing to Linghu Zhengxing, but the Du family is the leading big family in the Guanlong area, and one of the fifteen caravans is sent by the Du family, and the power of these big families often penetrates into all aspects of social life, but Liu Ziqiu can not be cautious

Du Yuelian said softly: "The women of the Hui Da people are from stability."

Although she clearly said that Liu Ziqiu, she had an intuition: Du Yuelian is a person who settles the Du family, but she just belongs to a side branch, and most people from some larger families are arrogant, Linghu Zhengxing is just a child of a second-rate family, and she still looks down on Liu Ziqiu, not to mention that it is a first-class family like the Du family, if Du Yuelian is really a person who settles the Du family, then she is already married to Shao Dong, but now she wants to marry a grassland man, it is normal to be ashamed to speak up, since she is unwilling to reveal her identity, Liu Ziqiu will no longer ask, but she repeatedly ordered a big banquet, and it will be a sleepless night

……

Thousands of miles away, in the Xie family compound in Moling Town, Danyang County, Xie Wengshan, Xie Wengming, and Xie Wengda, the three old brothers gathered in the back house, and Xie Yun still stood on the side and said: "Father, second uncle, third uncle, Wang Shichong sent someone to bring gifts to propose marriage."

Yang Guang likes to travel, built many palaces all over the country, each has palace concubines, palace maids, more than one hundred, three or four hundred palaces, and another palace supervisor, responsible for management, guards, Wang Shichong is one of the Jiangdu palace supervisors, under the command of more than 1,000 guards, Yang Guang was stationed in Tunjiang in the early years of Yangzhou governor, there are special feelings for here, so this Jiangdu Palace is the largest of all the palaces, there are palace concubines, There are more than 1,200 palace maids, more than 500 eunuchs, the palace treasury is full of all kinds of jewels, treasures, and there are as many as 3,000 guards outside the palace

From ancient times to the present, military spending is a very huge expense, although there is a lot of money in the palace in Jiangdu, but it can not support Wang Shichong's large-scale expansion of armaments, and at the beginning of the occupation of Jiangdu, Wang Shichong aimed at the rich households in Jiangdu County, but Zhang Jiuling, the richest man in Jiangdu, moved his family to other places a year ago, and disappeared, so Wang Shichong moved his target to Danyang, which is only separated by a river from Jiangdu

The richest thing in Danyang is the Xie family, a few months ago, Wang Shichong sent someone to Moling, and extorted a sum of money and grain from the Xie family, which is also the direct reason why the Xie family proposed to Huayun to transfer a thousand soldiers to Tun Moling, and later Wang Shichong sent people to come several times, the Xie family was overwhelmed, and had to cut off their support for Changshan Village
