For Ji Cheng's reputation to become more and more famous, many people saw that it was Ji Cheng's plan, so these powerful families began to target and assassinate those officers who constantly promoted Ji Cheng and the more famous people in the village.

They will not be stupid enough to assassinate in front of so many people, transfer away under various pretexts, and then push it on the bandits after the assassination.

In addition, they also let some private soldiers disguise themselves as bandits to plunder the people, burn and loot. Then he took the looted property and distributed it to the people to enhance the reputation of his family.

But what they didn't expect was that the people who wanted Ji Cheng couldn't kill them at all, and in the end they could only give up this plan and use various methods to gain their reputation and gain the trust of the people.

Let the dead soldiers in their family captivity go to win over those ruffians, robbers, robbers, and wicked people who do all kinds of evil, burn, kill, plunder, and occupy some mountains.

Half a year later, the initial results were achieved, and those bad guys basically joined the thief force composed of the family, which made the life of the people even worse, and the family Haoqiang occasionally opened a porridge shop to earn fame.

Gradually, they regained a lot of reputation, and at this time, they recruited village warriors with righteousness and went into the mountains to suppress bandits together. And they will also choose to kill those bandits who have not done evil, so that those bandits who do evil will constantly change places, so that the people will feel that they have been exterminated.

With a justifiable excuse, they cleaned up the bandit forces that were in Jicheng a lot, and the thieves they secretly cultivated continued to grow.

For two years, because of the suppression of bandits, the tenants were exempted from rent, and the land was not continued to be annexed, and the family was newly supported by the people.

The family's series of actions ruined Ji Cheng's plan, but Ji Cheng and Ma Shangfeng were in retreat, so Ji Cheng and they didn't fight back.

Ma Yuanyi and Ma Yuanfeng were the leaders elected by Jicheng before their retreat, and at this time they were heading west, and they didn't know how to solve it after receiving the information from Dahan.

Ma Yuanyi: "Big brother, now we don't have many Soul Restoration Pills. The production schedule has not been able to keep up, and if it weren't for the Hades Lord refining a lot before, we would have been gone a long time ago. What are we going to do? ”

Ma Yuanfeng: "Before the retreat, the Lord of the Underworld said that the westward expansion is the mainstay, and the places that are defeated must be governed by people, and we can't invest too much in the Han side, otherwise the territory we have laid down will be easy to rebel." Dahan's side could only give up. ”

Ma Yuanyi: "But the problem is that if this continues, our influence on the Han side will be small." The underworld won't be blamed after he gets out, right? ”

Ma Yuanfeng: "Even if we blame us, we can't do anything, now our resources are limited, and we can't go west again if we don't give up the Han side." In order to advance westward, we can only give up the Han side and wait for the Hades Lord to leave the customs. ”

Ma Yuanyi: "Otherwise, if we give up the Spirit Emperor, as long as we don't provide medicine anymore and put some ingredients in his food, he will definitely not last long." As soon as Emperor Ling dies, the Han will be in chaos, and when the time comes, they won't have so much time to deal with our people. ”

Ma Yuanfeng thought for a moment and said, "Well, the Spirit Emperor really has no use value. It's okay to give up on him, just do what you say! ”

In the end, the two brothers decided to give up the Spirit Emperor and let the two doctors who had previously recuperated the Spirit Emperor do it. Half a year passed, and Emperor Ling was dying, and after another month, Emperor Ling finally died.

Next, Liu Ban succeeded to the throne, He Jin was killed, and Zhang let them be killed as in history. However, this time it was not Dong Zhuo who was in trouble, but Liu Wei was set aside, and several major families controlled the government. Because Dong Zhuo was killed when they occupied Liangzhou in Jicheng.

Because the people who used to do it to Ji Cheng were all medium families and small families, and they held military power in their hands. Ma Yuanyi and they controlled several families to take the lead in separating one side, and most of the people were waiting, and the court fattened them to exterminate the self-reliant families, and they shirked it under various excuses.

The last few great families had to send their own armies over.

……

Taihang Mountain Heifeng Village is the largest cottage in Dahan, with a population of 100,000, of which 50,000 are young and middle-aged, and the remaining 50,000 family members do not have many old people, children and women occupy most of them.

There are three leaders in the cottage, and the big leader Yuan Zhen is a dead soldier cultivated by the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth world. The second leader and the third leader were originally bandit leaders full of evil, and the two of them had coveted the position of the big leader for a long time, just because Yuan Zhen was able to bring a batch of supplies to the cottage every once in a while, and because he would not really do anything to them in the government, he could get the support of most of the people, so the second leader Gongqin and the third leader Zhu Yi could only suppress this ambition.

On this day, Gongqin was drinking in the cottage, and suddenly his henchman walked in.

"What are you here to do? Don't make it out of this room alive without a reasonable explanation. ”

Even his confidant Gongqin still doesn't fully trust, so he won't let people stay with him when he drinks, and the whole courtyard is not approached.

Jin Fu knelt down and said, "Chief, save my life for the sake of my life and death for you for so many years!" ”

Gong Qin frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jin Fu said in fear: "I... I slept with the eldest chief's favorite concubine, and the eldest chief would not let me go if he knew. Second leader, you must save me and intercede for me. ”

Gong Qin's brows furrowed even deeper, he also had a certain understanding of Yuan Zhen's concubine, she was a descendant of a small family, educated, and knowledgeable. It is impossible to commit adultery with Jin Fu, then there is only one possibility, Jin Fu is strong.

Gongqin didn't want to have a bad relationship with Yuan Zhen, so he refused: "You can't blame me for finding your own death, I can't help you." ”

Kimfu: "She seduced me, and she told me a lot of secrets. She said that the imperial court was ready to attack us, and when the time came, Yuan Zhen would cooperate with the officers and soldiers. ”

Gong Qin stood up in shock and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Jin Fu: "She said that we have no use value, and she doesn't want us to continue to grow and be uncontrollable, so she wants to exterminate us." Yuan Zhen is also ready to die with us, he was originally a dead soldier of the Yuan family, he never thought of living.

She didn't want to die, so she wanted me to find a way to take her away, so she seduced me. ”

"How can you be sure she's telling the truth?"

"She has read the letters exchanged between Yuan Zhen and the Yuan family, and said that she will clean us up when the thieves in Qingzhou are eliminated this time."

"You believe what she says, you won't say this for the sake of your life, right?"

"She knew where Yuan Zhen collected the letters, and she showed them to me, and the news was indeed correct."

"Can you steal the letter and show it to me?"

"Now that Yuan Zhen is not in the cottage, I can take the second leader to see ......"
