Chapter 1407: Struggling to survive

The six prominent clans really made a move.

Shooting is a living human life, eight small landlords, who say they will die, but they even commit suicide.

I have to admire the methods of the wang clan, creating this kind of suicide at their fingertips, on the land of Jiangnan, they are really like the emperor of the soil, controlling the life and death of everyone.

Now the pressure is on Li Qinzai's side.

"Eight small landowners committed suicide because I ordered the land to be measured? Is this called 'perverse'? Li Qinzai wanted to laugh.

Song Sen cut off another piece of lamb leg meat and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded and said vaguely: "It is said that the officials deliberately increased the number of acres of land, and since then these small landowners have paid several times more taxes, and the landlords will not be able to live." ”

"Did the local officials really deliberately increase the number of acres?" Li Qinzai asked.

Song Sen shook his head: "According to the investigation of the Hundred Cavalry Division, the officials from all over the country are very honest in measuring the land this time, and they did not conceal the report, nor did they deliberately make false reports......

"After all, Li Jungong has just asked more than 20 officials to escort Chang'an, and the officials of the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have been deeply intimidated by the prestige of Li Jungong, and no one dares to play clever anymore."

Song Sen wiped his oily mouth and sighed: "This time, I'm afraid that the head of the Wang clan has shot behind his back, and they want to create panic among the people and incite the public to rebel against Li Jungong." ”

Li Qinzai sneered: "It's not a small courage, just destroyed the Zhu family, they still dare to provoke me, heh, it seems that my previous methods are still too gentle." ”

Song Sen sighed: "They are not provoking you, but struggling to the death. Li Jungong's step-by-step approach made them feel dangerous. ”

"Struggling is death, not struggling is death, it's better to fight to the death."

Li Qinzai snorted and said, "The death of the eight small landlords is only the first step, what next?" What else do those noble families want to do? ”

Song Sen smiled: "Li Jungong is also a person who has rolled in the Chang'an court, he should know what the Wang clan will do next, it is nothing more than inciting the people's feelings, creating an atmosphere of brutality and inhumanity in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally brewing a popular uprising, and reaching the heavens to listen to ......"

Li Qinzai also smiled: "Therefore, all the pots are buckled on my head, and the Son of Heaven was finally forced by public opinion and courtier pressure to recall me back to Chang'an, and the Jiangnan Wang clan successfully survived this crisis......"

"That's right, what the Wang clan has to do is to concoct a big case of 'officials forcing the people to rebel', and you are the culprit, in the end, don't say that you can rectify Jiangnan, Li Jungong is difficult to protect yourself, and the courtiers of Chang'an will coax together, you are at risk of being questioned at any time, and the danger of the Wang clan will be solved."

Li Qinzai smiled: "The means to deal with me are quite clever, and the Wang clan is really talented." ”

"But that's not enough." Li Qinzai's tone became colder: "They underestimated the determination of the Son of Heaven to solve the land annexation problem, and also underestimated the means of my Qincha. ”

"Can the Hundred Horsemen find out which family is behind it?"

Song Sen shook his head: "I didn't find out, I only know that a few days ago, the six major wang clans and several assassins were invited by the Gu clan of Wu County to go to the mansion for a gathering, and these people chatted in the secret room for two hours. ”

Li Qinzai said coldly: "Then it doesn't matter, I will believe that this matter is instigated by the Wu Jun Gu clan behind the scenes." ”

Song Sen was taken aback: "Is it so sloppy?" ”

"Or else? I came to Jiangnan to try the case? Do you have to be ironclad to convict them? Anyway, there is no good thing in the Wang family, and it is determined that my character is a mischievous Son of Heaven, not a straight-hearted Qingtian master. ”

Saying that, Li Qinzai turned his head and raised his head towards the tribe and said, "Go to the camp in the northern suburbs of Gusu City quickly, and ask General Xue to come here to talk about it." ”

One of the tribesmen mounted his horse and hurried away.

Xue Rengui led an army of 15,000 to the outside of Gusu City five days ago and built a large camp in the northern suburbs.

Li Qinzai still has 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, a total of 20,000 people, which is Li Qinzai's greatest confidence.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qinzai suddenly shouted again: "Someone, send an order, transfer 3,000 soldiers and horses, go to the Gu family's mansion in Wu County, camp within ten miles of the mansion, and send ranger scouts to patrol outside the Gu family's mansion in Wu County day and night." ”

Song Sen suddenly laughed: "Li Jungong is smart, in this way, Gu Chengzhang is only afraid that he will be scared out of the urine, the disaster of the Wujun Zhu clan is about to start again in the Gu family, Gu Chengzhang is afraid that he will not be able to sleep." ”

Li Qinzai sneered: "There has already been a prominent clan wiped out, Yin Jian is not far away, and they dare to play tricks behind their backs, forcing me to establish authority for the Jiangnan Wang clan again, aren't they cheap." ”

What public opinion, what kind of popular uprising, what the wang clan can incite is just a group of foolish people, Li Qinzai does not care at all, and if you want to solve the problem, you must start from the source.

As long as there was a civil uprising in any state and county in the south of the Yangtze River, he ordered the raid of the Gu family in Wu County.

That's right, Li Qinzai's methods are so simple and crude, but they are effective.

With 20,000 troops in hand, he no longer disdains to engage in any conspiracy and trickery, and he will reduce ten meetings with one force, and the power of the state apparatus will crush all disobedience.

After a long time, Xue Rengui led several guards to arrive on horseback.

After dismounting, Xue Rengui strode into the handsome tent, and when Li Qinzai saw him, he immediately said aggrievedly: "Uncle Xue, someone bullied me......"

Xue Rengui was cold: "Nephew Li Xian, you are normal." ”

found out that Xue Rengui didn't eat green tea, and Li Qinzai had no choice but to return to normal.

"Uncle Xue, the six major families in Jiangnan have already made a murder, and they want to put the charge of expropriation and extortion on the head of the foolish nephew......"

Xue Guiren waved his hand: "I'm just a military general, I can't figure out the number of ways you are cheating, as long as the virtuous nephew tells me, what should I do." ”

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said, "Uncle Xue has 15,000 soldiers, and today he can order six troops to be divided into six units, and camp outside the ancestral homes of the six noble clans, and there is no need to do anything." ”

Xue Rengui said in surprise: "That's it? ”

"That's it."

"Does it work?"

Li Qinzai smiled: "The richer people are, the more afraid of death, especially the experience of the fall of the Zhu clan in Wujun, thousands of soldiers and horses are waiting outside each ancestral house, I don't believe they can sleep peacefully." ”

"There are some things, first slap them hard, and then they are willing to listen calmly."

Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Leave everything to me, don't worry, nephew, I not only ordered the soldiers to be stationed outside the ancestral mansions of each family, but also practiced drums in the camp every day to see if they could sit still." ”

Li Qinzai smiled happily: "Uncle Xue is so perceptive, he draws inferences from one example. ”

Xue Rengui laughed: "I've been up and down in the court for decades, and I can still deal with this little scene." ”

After saying that, Xue Rengui was about to say goodbye and leave, but Li Qinzai suddenly stopped him, and stopped talking with a look on his face.

"Since Uncle Xue is here, the foolish nephew has to tell you bad news......

Xue Rengui was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

"Ahem, your dog...... Brother Shen Yan, who has often appeared in various Qinglou in Gusu City recently, has reported to his foolish nephew that the girls called by Brother Shen Yan in the Qinglou are all older women, and it is said that the appearance is quite similar to Uncle Xue's concubines. ”

Sighing angrily, Li Qinzai said earnestly: "Uncle Xue, the child has gone the wrong way, or to criticize and educate, it is best not to do it, punish the former and the latter, cure the disease and save people, the foolish nephew thinks that the prudent brother is still worth saving......"

Xue Rengui was stunned for a long time, his face gradually turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally he was like a Hulk illuminated by gamma rays, and he was cute to death......

After a long time, Xue Rengui gritted his teeth and said, "Where does that son of a son live in the camp?" ”

Li Qinzai skillfully pointed to the left: "The second camp tent on the left." ”

Xue Rengui looked up to the sky and smiled, and then said with a blue face: "Virtuous nephew, warm a pot of wine, and the old man will come when he goes!" ”
