"Don't tell me any reason, I just want the result, with your current attitude of doing things, let's go back to farming!"

Li Yue said indifferently.

Hearing these words, Zhang Xiancheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was very panicked.

At this time, it was a troubled time, and if you lost your official position, you were likely to starve to death.

"Master Li, you can't do this, how can I also be an official of the imperial court, I don't say that I will be dismissed."

Zhang Xiancheng's face was frightened, and as soon as his voice fell, he regretted what he had just said.

Hearing this, Li Yue unconsciously raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Xiancheng in front of him, and couldn't help sneering.

"Is it a court official? I am also an official of the imperial court, but I am a self-appointed official of the imperial court, but the imperial court still gave me a title. ”

Li Yue smiled indifferently and continued to ride his horse, and at this time, Zhang Xiancheng was also directly taken away by two personal guards.

After arriving at the yamen of the county government, Li Yue looked at the accounts of the yamen, and suddenly became angry, and directly threw the account book on the ground.

"Bastards, all damn it, bastards! They should be punished by the nine clans. ”

Li Yue originally thought that Huaiyuan County was a rich county, and food and money should be abundant, but after seeing the account book, he knew that there was no food and no money in the county.

Chen Lingyue, who was silent on the side, stepped forward and looked at the account book, also frowning slightly.

"In fact, many places are like this now, and the imperial court can't collect any taxes and grain at all, and these things have already entered the hands of those big families."

Chen Lingyue said with a wry smile.

"Aren't they the big ones? Wow, I'll see how much they ate. ”

Li Yue's expression was cold, and he said with a disdainful expression, then stood up and was about to walk out.

"Son, slow down, let's come to Huaiyuan County, you are not familiar with the place, you just took down Zhang Xiancheng, and now you are doing it to those big households, I am afraid it will cause a mutiny."

Chen Lingyue said worriedly.

"There are still a thousand guards in the city who are my people, and dozens of guards are even one against ten, I don't believe that there are any big families in the city who have a hard neck and are not afraid of cutting."

Li Yue sneered and walked out of the yamen hall, outside, dozens of guards were waiting to be summoned at any time.

As soon as he saw Li Yue's posture coming out, he was angry, and he knew that he was going to work.

"You guys go and investigate all the rich families in the city, and now the people in the city are hungry, so they can only be knifed."

Li Yue was very domineering, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and went back to wait for the news.

At noon the next day, dozens of guards had already handed over all the things they had investigated to Li Yue.

Seeing the big families recorded in the book, each family has wealth that rivals the country's wealth.

"It seems that the Zhao family and the Qin family are not very powerful in Ningyuan City, and these small families together are much stronger than them."

Li Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"Childe's words are wrong, these small families rely on the big family to survive, and now that the Zhao family and the Qin family are gone, they are not easy to say."

Chen Lingyue's attitude at this time was very different from last night, she seemed to have understood Li Yue's determination, and she didn't have that worry anymore, but she had an indescribable sense of approval for taking the small family under the knife.

"Well said, the head is gone, how can the body move? These fattened pigs are waiting for me to slaughter. ”

Li Yue couldn't help but sneer, stood up, and began to order each of the guards to assemble the local defenders.

At the same time, the property of every large household must be confiscated.

After more than a dozen guards listened, only ten were left to protect Li Yue, and the rest of the people all went to the garrison camp in the city.

Tang Yuan was a refugee rescued by Li Yue from Huangzhou City.

After recovering physically, he immediately signed up for the plague protection team, performed well in the protection team, and soon rose to Li Yue's army.

Several battlefield kills were very ferocious, and he was promoted to Li Yue's personal guard.

At this moment, for him, Li Yue is like his reborn parents.

Whoever dares to have any dissatisfaction with it will definitely go up and slash it.

After Tang Yuan received Li Yue's order, he went straight to the garrison barracks.

After arriving at the barracks, he took out the transfer order, and immediately transferred 100 people to directly surround the Peng family, the largest family in Huaiyuan City.

At this time, in the Peng Mansion, there was only a fifteen-year-old young family head in charge.

Peng Yuanzheng is a young man and an old man.

After the collapse of the Zhao family and the Qin family, they immediately integrated several small families and quickly encroached on the power of the two families, thus rising to become the largest force in Huaiyuan County.

"My lord, the city guards have blocked our door for some reason, and it seems that they are trying to break in."

Peng Changzhou, the housekeeper of the Peng family, said with a worried face.

"What are you afraid of, isn't it Li Yuelai, I want to see what this guy is about?"

Peng Yuanzheng sneered, walked out of the hall, and couldn't help but get excited when he looked at the hundreds of black-clothed people standing outside the compound.

"Family master, you mean that if you want to leave Li Yue here, I'm afraid something will happen."

Peng Changzhou said worriedly.

"Last time, Zhang Shipeng only led a thousand soldiers and horses to capture this place, and that was because Hu Yongzhi promised me that it would be mine from now on."

Peng Yuanzhong's face was gloomy, and as soon as the words fell, Peng Changzhou followed and walked out.

"Uncle, these people are well-trained, not ordinary families can stop them, if they really want to force their way in, I'm afraid they can't stop it!"

Peng Changzhou looked bitter and seemed to feel very helpless.

"Uncle Changzhou, let's talk about it, you should be a generation older than me, do you know why my grandfather's lineage can inherit the position of the head of the Peng family?"

Peng Yuanzheng said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Peng Changzhou just smiled indifferently, shook his head and stopped squeaking.

"Even my grandfather is more courageous, and you can only hold on to the inadequate, do not seek progress, and in the end you are eaten away step by step."

Peng Yuanzheng said indifferently.

"Young master, I understand, if we have a hard fight with Li Yue, we must be the ones who suffer!"

Peng Changzhou was a little worried, and at the same time he was helpless.

As soon as the words fell, Peng Yuanzheng really seemed to be a different person, without a trace of expression on his whole face, as if at this moment, he had become a wooden man.

"Originally, I didn't want to do anything to him, but now he is forcing me to make a move, so I'll let him see who is the owner of Huaiyuan County."

Peng Yuanzheng said with a disdainful face.

"Young Master, I think it would be futile even if you sent out all the Peng family's secret guards, after all, the weapons in their hands are too powerful."

Peng Changzhou said helplessly.

Hearing this, Peng Yuanzheng's face was less immature, but more ruthless, and he didn't listen to Peng Changzhou's advice at all.
