With a smile like a spring breeze, he asked the other party whether he wanted to die or live, the ritual of death, and the arrangement of living and living.

Li Qinzai feels that he is a bit perverted, like a villain in a film and television drama, and now he is sending a righteous knight who does the right thing for heaven to come out and clean him up.

The movement of the Zhu family's ancestral house gradually became smaller, what should have been said was finished, and the damned people were also dead.

There was a fire all around, and corpses were everywhere.

Zhu Shengzhou stood in the courtyard and laughed silently.

Without warning, there was a catastrophe of annihilation, and the great wang clan, which was extremely prosperous, turned into ashes overnight, the building collapsed, and the people were scattered.

"Yes, it's not early, it's time for the old man to hit the road......"

Zhu Shengzhou looked up at the sky and silently shed tears: "Under the nine springs, the old man kowtowed to the ancestors of the Zhu family to ask for guilt, and he did not show his descendants Zhu Shengzhou, arrogant and conceited and made a big mistake, and caused the family to be destroyed, the old man deserved to die, when the hundred generations fell into the animal road, he was not worthy of being a man!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Shengzhou suddenly took out a small dagger from his arms, the dagger came out of the sheath, and slammed it into his heart.

Blood burst out, Zhu Shengzhou's eyes widened, his breath gradually weakened, but he still stared at Li Qinzai's face, as if he would remember Li Qinzai's face until he died, and he would ask for his life from this enemy who destroyed the door when he died.

Li Qinzai looked at him fearlessly, his eyes did not blink, but he said calmly: "Remember my face clearly, if you turn into a ghost after death, you are welcome to ask for your life." ”

"What I do, for the country and the people, I am worthy of my heart, and I am worthy of the people of the society. I'm not afraid that you will come to ask for your life, if you dare to come, I will let you die again! ”

Feng Su and all the subordinates beside Li Qinzai hugged their fists one after another, and Feng Su said awe-inspiringly: "The five young men are public for the country, and they are sincere, if the ghosts come to ask for their lives, we will be killed!" ”

At the exit of the last word "chop", there seemed to be a boundless righteousness between heaven and earth, and the surrounding firelight was like golden light, instantly dispelling the evil darkness.

At the same time, the light in Zhu Shengzhou's eyes also dimmed in an instant, and he finally lost his breath.

Li Qinzai turned around slowly, no longer looked at him, looked up at the sky, and the sky was already white.

A powerful and prosperous noble family completely collapsed tonight.

"Collect the dead of the Zhu family, all the living clansmen will be taken into the Gusu Assassin Shifu Prison, and all the family assets of the Zhu family's land and manor will be sealed, and no one shall act rashly."

After the explanation, Li Qinzai walked out of the gate of the Zhu family's ancestral house proudly.

The light of the fire behind him reflected on his back, like the glow of the dawn.

Destroy one door and save all people, and ten thousand families will give birth to Buddhas, and the merit is immeasurable.

The gods and Buddhas in the sky, be blessed.

…………

Li Qinzai's extermination of the Zhu family was not only to raid the Zhu family's ancestral home, but more importantly, to uproot the officials and forces under the Zhu family.

At the same time that the 5,000-strong army besieged the ancestral house of the Zhu family, the county commanders of the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River all received an urgent official letter issued by Li Qinzai.

In the official document, Li Qin issued an administrative order on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and all the officials involved in the Zhu family of Wu County were dismissed on the spot, and they were strictly ordered to close their doors and wait for the officials from Chang'an to check and interrogate them one by one.

At the same time, the squires and landlords of villages and villages involved with the Zhu family were also ordered by local officials to check the land and tenants under their names, and make a unified register, and the government sealed the files.

After dawn, the news of Li Qinzai's extermination of the Zhu clan spread like a plague, and the cities around Gusu were the first to get the news, and the major noble clans were frightened and angry, and they couldn't believe it.

However, since Li Qinjae has done so, he will not give any enemy a chance to counterattack.

At the same time as the destruction of the Zhu clan, the 15,000 troops of Xue Rengui's headquarters stationed in Yuezhou also set out for the east with their camp.

The posture of the army pressing the border is like a lion fighting a rabbit, which has caused great psychological pressure on the noble clans and squires and landlords who are ready to move in all directions.

Combined with the various actions of Li Qinzai and Xue Rengui, the arrogance of the remaining seven wang clans finally had to be suppressed, and the heads of the various families secretly connected together, and everyone was a little more solemn and frightened, and they realized that the court and Li Qinzai were playing real this time.

And the reason why Li Qinzai killed the Zhu family has also become a topic of speculation among the seven family heads.

Because you refuse to grow sweet potatoes?

No kidding, this little thing is so ruined.

Because of the murder in Duchang County?

It's also a joke, it's a big thing, it wiped out thousands of people from the family, dismissed countless officials, and the power of the Zhu clan in Wu County, Jiangnan was cleaned up in just a few days.

So, why did Li Qinzai destroy the Zhu family?

The answer is obvious.

This Son of Heaven was ordered to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and he wanted to establish his authority.

Swing your fist and knock down one first, so that others will stand obediently and listen to him reason, and when he is reasonable, others will not interject and curse casually.

The Zhu clan was wiped out, but cleaning up the aftermath was a very cumbersome and troublesome matter.

In addition to explaining the matter in detail, Li Qinzai also asked Li Zhi to urgently send officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department to Jiangnan to deal with the aftermath.

Not only that, but the ministry also has to appoint alternate officials to quickly take up their posts and fill the vacancies of those who have been dismissed.

The Zhu family has fallen, but the state apparatus will not stop turning, and the world can continue to operate without anyone.

…………

Outside the city of Jiangzhou, a remote village.

The land in the village is actually very rich and fertile, why Jiangnan is the granary of the world, because the climate and land in Jiangnan are more suitable for the cultivation of crops, and the annual harvest is much better than that in the north, so there is very little really barren land in the land of Jiangnan.

On the sheep intestine path outside the village, Lu Yun slowly walked out of the village with an expressionless face, and the entourage and horses on the side of the road were quietly waiting for him, but Lu Yun did not get on the horse, but continued to walk with his hands in his hands.

Lu Yun really remembered the last conversation with Li Qinzai, and he was very obedient, and honestly walked into the village to observe the suffering of the peasant people.

The children of the prosperous family walked around the village, and their mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

He didn't expect that the private farmers would live such a miserable life, and all he knew before was some data on the family industry.

How many acres of land the family bought this year, how much land and tenants have increased, how much income has increased in the family's treasury, and so on.

The data is cold, and the picture you see with your own eyes is shocking.

When Lu Yun saw the living peasant farmers who were tortured by life to the point of being inhuman, he was completely shocked.

How much land is under the name of the Lu family in Wu County, as the son of the Lu family, Lu Yun is of course very clear, totaling about 300,000 mu.

A family owns more than 300,000 mu of land under its name, and as far as he knows, among the eight major families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Lu family does not have the most land, but the bottom.

Therefore, what is the purpose of Li Qinzai's suggestion that he go to the people to observe the suffering of peasant households?

After walking out of the village, Lu Yun seemed to understand a little.
