Chapter 1423 Brilliant Thousand

As Gu Chengzhang, the head of the Gu family in Wu County, committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, Xue Rengui led 5,000 soldiers and horses to raid the Gu family's ancestral house that night.

When the officialdom and the people were all panicking, the announcement from the state and county government offices came in a timely manner.

The Gu clan had just been thrown into prison pending trial, and various prefectures and counties had issued notices to reassure the people.

The notice clearly listed the crimes of the Gu family of Wu County, including forcibly buying and selling land, forcibly collecting people's wealth, and the most serious crime was secretly inciting the people in Jiangning to revolt.

Many officials were originally very puzzled by the Qin Cha's seizure of Gu's family, but when they saw the last article of the charge of inciting the people's uprising, they suddenly realized it, and then fell silent.

Inciting a civil uprising is tantamount to rebellion, and the Gu family of Wu County is a big death by himself, and he deserves to be beheaded all over the house.

And then something interesting happened.

When the Zhu clan of Wu County was raided, Jiangnan was shocked, and the officials and landlords of various prefectures and counties were frightened, and everyone was in danger.

And now that the Gu family is being raided, the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly died down after a short period of shock, and they rarely even talked about it in private, and everyone summed up the fate of the Gu family in only two words, "deserved".

Inciting civil unrest, what a serious crime, you Gu Jiayi is bold.

Ask the Gu clan and officials, check the Gu family's property, and everything is going smoothly.

Two days later, the huge Gu clan had basically been wiped out and all of them were put in prison.

The officials of the Criminal Department who were transferred from Chang'an had bad luck, but they did not expect the water in the south of the Yangtze River to be so muddy, and the big cases were one after another, and the officials of the Criminal Department were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground in the past few days.

Arraignment, evidence search, evidence fixation, conviction, sending government soldiers to escort prisoners to Chang'an, beheading after autumn, etc.

At the same time, in the camp outside Gusu City, the negotiations between King Teng and the remaining six family heads went smoothly.

The destruction of the Gu clan was certainly deserved, but Li Qinzai's decisive disposal method once again deeply shocked the heads of the family.

This Qincha once again proved that he was ruthless, so in the next negotiations, the heads of the family had already restrained themselves, and they did not dare to deal with the court in the details, for fear of provoking this Qincha impatiently.

Although the negotiations in the past two days were presided over by King Teng, the heads of the family saw Li Qinzai carrying a fishing rod and bucket out of the camp every day, and when he came back in the evening, his face was pale, and he looked very unhappy and wanted to kill a few people to change his mood, and his expression was hideous and terrifying.

Three days later, King Teng's negotiations with the six heads of the family finally came to an end.

It is not so exaggerated to say that "everyone is happy", in this negotiation, the court and the wang clan have each compromised something, and of course, they also got something.

In short, the agreement has been concluded, and both sides have acknowledged it.

King Teng ghostwritten, Li Qinzai sealed, the head of the family jointly signed, after the two sides wrote down the agreement document, sent a fast horse to Chang'an, the last procedure is that Li Zhi nodded, stamped with the jade seal, this document became the law of the Tang Dynasty, violators must be investigated.

After the negotiations, the heads of the family also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally time to get out of this damn camp!

The negotiation is not uncomfortable, but the uncomfortable thing is that the heads of the family see Li Qinzai's ugly face every day.

It's really puzzling, what did this young Qincha go out of the camp every day with a fishing rod and bucket, and why he returned to the camp every day with a hideous face that wanted to eat people.

I have to say that Li Qinzai's face gave the heads of the family great psychological pressure, although they don't know why, but the heads of the family don't dare to block this Qincha anymore, they feel that this Qincha's mood is on the verge of collapse, and after a little more stimulation, another family in Jiangnan has been destroyed.

After the negotiations were over, the heads of the families who had been granted amnesty bid farewell to Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai's mood has not been very good these days, at this time, he forced a smiling face, personally sent the family masters out of the camp, Yin Yin waved goodbye, Li Qinzai's face turned pale, returned to a gloomy and hideous appearance, and turned around without saying a word and returned to the handsome tent.

King Teng stood outside the gate, seeing Li Qinzai's ugly expression, he didn't dare to ask more about the identity of Rao is father-in-law, but dragged Li Qinzai's personal quirrel Feng Su.

"What's wrong with this bastard boy? Who provoked him? King Teng asked.

Feng Su's expression was also ugly, purely because of psychological pressure, after all, Li Qinzai's low pressure around him in the past few days was too torturous.

"Your Highness, don't ask, anyway...... It's hard to put into words. Feng Su sighed and said.

You haven't caught a single fish for three days, can you believe it?

It's better for a dog to squat on the shore than him.

People are addicted to food, the fishing products are not good, and if they can't catch it, they will put on a stinky face......

As a subordinate to Li Qinzai's side, Feng Su has been so uncomfortable these days, who can understand his pain?

…………

After the negotiations, Li Zhi transferred more than a dozen officials from the Criminal Department and supervised the imperial history from Chang'an to deal with the lawlessness of the Zhu family and the Gu family of Wu County.

At this point, Li Qin's task of carrying Jiangnan has basically been completed.

The biggest takeaway from this trip is that the land annexation issue in Jiangnan has begun to thaw, and the heads of the major noble families have also promised not to expand their land again.

Whether the promise of the head of the family can be trusted, Li Qinzai is not sure, but Baiqisi does not eat dry rice.

What is the approximate number of land under the names of the major noble clans this year, and what is the number next year, the Baiqi Division will have detailed data to report to Chang'an.

If the Wang clan still plans to secretly annex the land, next year, Li Qinzai will not mind coming to Jiangnan again and bringing a butcher's knife.

After the negotiation with the imperial court, the heads of the families returned to their families, and then, there were inexplicably more than several privately-built shipbuilding workshops in the coastal area of Jiangnan, and the six major wang clans recruited a large number of landless farmers and experienced shipbuilders in the south of the Yangtze River.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of smart people who have followed the general trend and become rich and prosperous.

After the imperial court set up shipbuilding divisions in Dengzhou and Quanzhou, the private shipbuilding industry also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and a negotiation between the six major families and the imperial court indirectly promoted the germination of capitalism among the people of the Tang Dynasty, which even Li Qinzai did not expect.

The second day of the sixth month of the fourth year of Linde.

When he got up early in the morning, Li Qinzai was dressed neatly, the soldiers in the camp were already packing up, and the logistics baggage team put the horses, grain and grass in the camp tents, and the army was ready to pull out the camp.

Unknowingly, after coming to Jiangnan for more than three months, Li Qinzai's task has been completed, and it is time to return to Chang'an.

Riding a horse and taking the lead out of the camp, Li Qinzai was surprised to find that there were a sea of people outside the camp.

Not only were the heads of the six prominent clans at the head of the crowd, but there were also countless officials and poorly dressed ordinary people and peasant households.

Seeing Li Qinzai leave the camp, tens of thousands of people and peasant households knelt down on his knees.

"Congratulations to the Qin sent to Li Jungong, Jiangnan is purged, and the people are set up, and Li Jungong is brilliant for a thousand years!"
