The officialdom in Jiangnan must slowly separate itself from the prominent families in Jiangnan, and today Li Qinzai's cleanup of officialdom is only the first step.

The next rectification will wait for Li Qinzai to return to Chang'an, and suggest to Li Zhi that a large-scale transfer of officialdom in Jiangnan be carried out.

Officials with local ties must be transferred out of their localities and take up posts outside of Jiangnan.

As for the evaluation of officials, official supervision and other things, leave it to Li Zhi and Yushitai to worry about, what Li Qinzai has to do is to rectify and sort out the entire Jiangnan Wang clan and officialdom, and ignore the small trivial affairs.

The news that Li Qinzai had taken down more than 20 officials in the Gusu Assassination Mansion soon spread all over Jiangnan.

Jiangnan officialdom shook again, and for a time everyone in the officials was in danger, while people in the wang clan were panicked.

Now people are more and more aware that this Qincha sent by the Son of Heaven is really not easy to mess with, he really came with the purpose of killing, whether it is the wang clan or the officialdom, he has no taboos to kill.

In the whole of Jiangnan, there is no one he dare not provoke.

Such an existence is very terrifying, Jiangnan has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the huge area is the granary of the entire dynasty, who dares to use such ruthless means against Jiangnan in the princes and generals of all dynasties?

First destroy the Wang clan, and then govern the officialdom, every step Li Qinzai takes is terrifying from the bottom of his heart, and judging from his every move when he came to Jiangnan, every step he took was planned and orderly, not at will.

In his eyes, the whole Jiangnan is a huge chessboard, where to land first, and then where to land, every step has his purpose.

As a chess player, his thinking is extremely clear, and his methods are even more ruthless with calm and wisdom, and the nobles and officials in Jiangnan are pressed by his chess path step by step, and they find that their living space is getting smaller and smaller, and there is a painful feeling that they are about to suffocate.

Being so valued by the Son of Heaven at a young age, leaning on him as the pillar of the country, really has some real ability, such a person is difficult to entangle, once he is targeted, there is no way to escape.

After more than 20 officials were questioned, the heads of the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River returned to their official offices, and then the scribes of the prefectures and county offices went down to the villages and began to re-measure the acres of land in the townships and villages.

This time, no one dared to fake again, and they didn't dare to play the slightest bit of cleverness.

The landlords and squires were frightened, and carefully offered heavy bribes and tried to bribe the officials, and as usual they made false reports on the number of acres, but the scribes and servants sternly refused.

No one dares to joke about their own lives anymore, and if they dare to receive gifts, they must have life flowers, and the butcher knife in Li Jungong's hand is still dripping blood, who would dare to disobey the yang at this time? Didn't you send your head under Li Jungong's butcher's knife?

…………

The mansion of the Gu family in Wu County.

When the people of Jiangnan were panicking, many people gathered in the mansion of the Gu family of Wu County.

These people are all familiar faces, including the heads of the six major families, as well as several state assassins and county commanders.

The room where everyone gathered was a secret room, the doors and windows of the room were sealed, the air inside was a little stuffy, most of the people present were some old people, and the air was filled with a strong smell of phlegm unique to the old man.

Except for the Lu clan of Wu County, the rest of the family heads have arrived.

The head of the Gu family is named Gu Chengzhang, an old man in his sixties.

At this moment, Gu Chengzhang was sitting in the main seat, and a pair of seemingly cloudy eyes inadvertently glanced at the faces of everyone present.

Including Gu Chengzhang, everyone's expressions were not relaxed.

After Li Qinzai came to Jiangnan, the heads of the families were not only frightened, but also felt more and more suffocated, especially Li Qinzai's clear intention to take the issue of land, which has touched the core interests of each family.

If you don't respond, I'm afraid that the Jiangnan Wang clan will be completely pinched by the imperial court from now on, how can you bear it?

Fear of Li Qinzai's methods is fear, but there are some things that he knows and fears, but he has to do them, because everyone here is the head of the family, and they carry on their shoulders the glory and disgrace of the rise and fall of the family business of hundreds of years.

To struggle is to die, not to struggle or to die.

So, do you have to struggle or not?

The room was sullen, with the occasional old cough or two.

No one spoke for a long time, and no one dared to speak first.

I don't know how long the silence lasted, Gu Chengzhang finally had to break the silence.

Today, I invited a few family heads and the county commander of the assassin to come, not to see how handsome everyone was when they were silent.

"What benefits did Li Qinzai promise Lu Songxi, and why did Lu Songxi fall to the imperial court so completely, have you heard the news?" Gu Chengzhang asked slowly.

Everyone in the audience shook their heads.

Lu Songxi is a smart person, a smart person not only does things carefully, but also has a strict mouth.

The content of Li Qinzai's private conversation with Lu Songxi, Lu Songxi did not reveal a word, not even his own son Lu Yun did not say a word.

Lu Songxi knew very well that this was a matter of great benefit and at the same time, it was also very fatal.

The New World, five days of horse racing, ten years of tax exemption, and various policies of the imperial court are inclined to support......

If these contents are spoken, the whole Jiangnan will be fried.

Everyone else knows that the Lu family has gained great benefits, and they will definitely swarm to attack the Lu family like a pack of wolves biting a tiger.

Lu Songxi has lived most of his life, doesn't he understand the truth of making a fortune in a muffled voice?

No one knows what benefits Lu Songxi has gained, but it is certain that Lu Songxi must have received great benefits, otherwise the Lu family of Wu County would not have been determined to board the ship of the imperial court, and knelt and licked without spineless dignity, and his posture was skillful and humble......

broke the silence, but everyone still didn't say anything, and Gu Chengzhang was a little disappointed.

So he coughed twice, and Gu Chengzhang said again: "Li Qinzai was ordered to go to Jiangnan, and it is said that we should cooperate with the Son of Heaven to act, but Li Qinzai's actions are becoming more and more excessive, and his various actions have clearly hurt the fundamental ...... of our Jiangnan Wang clan."

"Ladies and gentlemen, can we just let it be slaughtered? Who is not a family business for hundreds of years, if it is paid by Li Qinzai in one day, how can we have the face to see the ancestral heroic spirits under the nine springs? How to be worthy of future generations? ”

These words finally aroused the anger of everyone.

The foundation of the ancestors, the descendants of the descendants, this is the pain point in the hearts of everyone.

A family head stood up and asked, "I wonder if Brother Gu has a way to deal with it?" ”

Gu Chengzhang said slowly: "Only when we are united can we deal with it." ”

"If you want to control Li Qinzai, you must control its foundation, Li Qinzai's power is given by the Son of Heaven, therefore, the person who controls Li Qinzai is not in Jiangnan, but in Chang'an."

Everyone agreed, Gu Chengzhang's words were to the point, to put it simply, it was necessary to immediately mobilize the connections and drive away this living Hell King, which was the fundamental way to solve the problem.

As for whether Li Qinzai will be questioned or impeached after being driven back to Chang'an, it doesn't matter anymore, as long as this scourge leaves, the wishes of the heads of the Wang clan have been humbled to the dust.

I was really scared of being killed by Li Qinzai, since I couldn't provoke it, and I couldn't hide from it, so I could only let Li Qinzai dodge.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Gu Chengzhang finally showed a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the protégés and former officials of my wang clan are all over the Chang'an court, at this critical juncture of survival, we must join hands and initiate an impeachment in the Chang'an court, forcing Chang'an to immediately recall Li Qinzai and return Jiangnan Langlang Qingri!"
