Wu Conghan and Li Ren each held a copy of the copy, and they were standing in front of Li Congyan's bookcase, while Li Congyan was frowning, thinking about something.

After a while, Li Congyan raised his head and asked, "Did the three major families send someone over to buy tax stamps?" ”

Wu Conghan shook his head and said: "Lord, I estimate that the three major families have been secretly connected, they have united with several other families, not only did they not buy tax stamps, but also stopped the personnel sent by Si Tian to join the army, Si Hu to join the army, and Si Cang to join the army for inspection, it seems that they are preparing to resist taxes." ”

Li Ren also said: "Lord, the county lieutenants from all over the country have reported in the past few days, and the people and horses scattered in various places of the three major families have begun to mobilize, and they are all gathering towards the dock forts in various places, they are trying to tear their faces with us!" Are we also starting to mobilize troops and horses in case of accidents? ”

Li Congyan thought for a while and said, "It seems that the three major families don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin?" But now is not the time to start a fight with them, after all, behind them are Li Congke and An Chongzhi. And don't pay attention to their movements for the time being, this is just a bluff, just send someone to keep an eye on it. ”

"Lord!"

Wu Conghan and Li Ren were a little anxious, the three major families made it clear that they didn't take the assassination of the Shifu seriously, if they didn't apply color this time, it is estimated that the families in Dengzhou would kick their noses in the face in the future.

Li Congyan smiled at the anxious appearance of the two of them, and said, "What are you anxious about?" Don't worry, if I don't move the three major families now, it doesn't mean that I don't do anything. ”

Li Congyan pointed at Wu Conghan and said, "Didn't the three major families also contact several other families to fight taxes together?" Just take these few blind-eyed knives and knock the mountain and shock the tiger! You immediately sort out the incriminating evidence of these families and hand it over to Li Ren. ”

"Whoa!"

Then Li Congyan said to Li Ren: "Dispatch troops and horses to standby, once the evidence is complete, copy these for me!" The money, grain, houses, and land were all confiscated to the Assassin's Mansion, and the heads of each family were imprisoned for crimes, and the rest were taken into custody! ”

"Whoa!"

A few days later, south of Dengzhou City, Wu Mansion.

The Wu family in Dengzhou has been in business for generations, and is a typical family in Dengzhou who has been a businessman for generations, and the Li family in Dengzhou has been good friends for generations, and the two families even have in-laws, and the relationship is very close.

This time to resist taxes, Li Jian, the head of the Li family, specially sent Li Chuang to visit with heavy gifts, and the meaning of the Li family was fully supported by the Wu family. The Wu family also did not buy tax stamps, and Wu Di, the head of the Wu family, also took the people in the mansion to stop the officials who came to investigate the assassin mansion outside the door for a while, and his arrogance was very arrogant.

On this day, Chong Huajia drove to the gate of Wu's house with 300 soldiers of the New Army, did not hand over the name thorn, nor did he show the documents of the Assassin's Mansion, and directly ordered the soldiers of the New Army to break open the gate of the Wu Mansion, and then commanded the soldiers of the New Army to rush in directly.

"Send someone to block the gates of the Wu Mansion, don't get out of one!"

"All the Wu family members tied me up and guarded them, and the rebels were hacked to death on the spot!"

While striding into the gate of the Wu Mansion, he shouted loudly, and met Wu Di, the head of the Wu family.

"What for! What are you going to do! Even if it is a soldier of the Assassin's Mansion, he can't forcibly break into my Wu Mansion! ”

He stared at Wu Di with a frosty face, pulled out the horizontal knife, put it directly on Wu Di's neck, and shouted: "Dengzhou Wu Mansion refuses to implement the policy of stabbing the Shifu tax stamps, obstructs officials from performing official duties, and refuses to make up the arrears accumulated over the years. Who the~ dares to stop it? ”

Wu Di only felt a chill in his neck and a dizziness in his head, but he didn't expect Li Congyan to go directly and want to raid his own home?

At this time, Wu Di looked at the birch armor with an abusive face, and the arrogance just now suddenly disappeared, and hurriedly said: "I, I, I want to see Li Tingshi!" There must be misunderstandings, misunderstandings! ”

Seeing this, several servants of the Wu family around were about to rush up and relieve the siege for Wu Di, but before they could run over, they were stopped by the soldiers of the new army, and then they were beaten to the ground.

A brigade commander shouted: "All tie up, and if there are any more rioters, there will be no mercy!" ”

"Bold!"

As soon as the brigade commander finished speaking, he saw a young man striding forward, carrying a beautifully decorated horizontal knife in his hand.

Wu Di was taken aback when he saw this, the young man was his only son Wu Zi, and hurriedly shouted: "Rebel! Stand down for me, don't mess around! ”

When Wu Zi heard this, he saw that Wu Di was being held with a knife, and he was immediately furious, perhaps because he was used to being arrogant on weekdays, and he didn't take the soldiers of the new army in his eyes at all, so he shouted and rushed to the birch armor with a knife.

Seeing this, the brigade commander who led the team flew directly and hit it, and immediately knocked Wu Zi into the air, fell heavily to the ground, and the horizontal knife in his hand also flew to the side.

"Ahh

Wu Zi was like falling apart, screaming out in pain, but he didn't expect the new army commander to step on Wu Zi's back, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed down, Wu Zi suddenly turned his head in a different place, and blood gushed out, causing a burst of screams from the Wu family.

Seeing this, Wu Di sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes had lost concentration, he didn't know what he was talking about, and he kept muttering to himself.

Here, Chong Huajia looked at Wu Di coldly and scolded: "Do you still want to see Li Tingshi?" Remember, you're not qualified to ask! Is it possible that you can see Li Tingshi if you want to see it? Come on, tie me up! ”

A group of soldiers of the New Army rushed up, tied up Wu Di and several entourages, and threw them directly in the courtyard. Wu Di watched the teams of soldiers of the new army go in and out, constantly tying up his family members and servants, constantly carrying out the money, gold, silver and grain in the house and loading the truck, and seeing his son Wu Zi in a pool of blood, his heart was like being stabbed by a knife in dozens of bloody holes, and he kept dripping blood, and his heart was painful.

It didn't take long for the entire Wu Mansion to be turned upside down, and the two hundred and eighty-one Wu families up and down were all concentrated in the courtyard, tied up by two extra-long ropes, one for men and one for women, and dozens of soldiers of the New Army were responsible for guarding them. The originally wide courtyard suddenly became crowded, and the Wu family was full of sobbing and sad faces.

At this time, the birch armor took a few new army soldiers to check around in the Wu Mansion, only to see that the Wu Mansion Mansion covers a wide area, full of carved beams and paintings, pavilions and pavilions, even the eaves are decorated with brass, countless brass bells are ringing in the wind, very luxurious.

This is just a medium-sized family in Dengzhou, if it is the Li family in Dengzhou, or the top family in Chang'an and Luoyang, what kind of luxury will it be?

I didn't dare to imagine it, and I couldn't imagine it, and there was only a trace of anger left in my heart: why can these families have fine clothes and food, but the people outside have to live a difficult life?

"Report! The Wu family's goods have been registered and are all loaded on standby. ”

Chong Huajia said with a pale face: "Ship them all back to the Thorn Shi Mansion, seal the gate of the Wu Mansion for me, affix a seal, and leave a team of people here to take care of it!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Lieutenant, what should you do with these prisoners?"

He said, "Drag a cadre of criminals out into the street, and let me parade them all." Let the entire Dengzhou City take a look, this is the end of going against Li Tingshi! ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, the entire city of Dengzhou was boiling, and the streets and alleys were crowded with onlookers, all vying to witness a grand scene.

The old and young of the Wu family, who used to be high in the sky and clothed in fine clothes, were all tied together on foot at this time, and the escorted New Army officers and soldiers were still sounding gongs at the front of the procession to open the way, and several high-voiced New Army soldiers were still reading the Wu family's crimes over and over again, attracting onlookers and cheers.

There are also many poor people who are the most excited at this time, scolding and picking up the stones and tiles on the ground, and struggling to throw them at the Wu family, several people were smashed and injured in a blink of an eye, and Wu Di is the focus of attention.

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth rose, and he did not give an order to stop those people, as long as there were no dead people in the Wu family, and then directly ordered the team to turn to the north of the city and move in the direction of the Li family in Dengzhou.

Soon, the brigade passed through the Li family in Dengzhou, and the long street outside the Li family's mansion was crowded with people.

Wu Di's face was like ashes at this time, and he suddenly saw that the Li family's mansion was in front of him, and rushed over with all his might, not caring about the ropes on his body, and roaring loudly: "Li Jian old thief!" I listened to your fallacies and ended up again, you hurt my Wu family, you can't die well! You don't want to die! ”

Wu Di made such a fuss, more than 200 people from the Wu family shouted and scolded, and two women of the Wu family rushed to the gate of the Li family crying, and the soldiers of the new army on both sides hurriedly pulled up the rope when they saw this, but they couldn't pull it back, and watched the two women crash to death on the gate of the Li family, and the originally bright red gate became more dazzling at this time.

The scarlet blood was extremely dazzling, and the birch armor listened to the cries of the Wu family, looked at the door of the Li family, which was still closed, and asked the brigade commander next to him, "Do you know who those two women are?" ”

"Captain Qiyu, it is said that she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family who married to the Wu family, and she was originally a member of the Li family. One of them was Wu Zi's wife. ”

The birch armor nodded, and said in a cold voice: "It can be regarded as the Li family's own fruit!" ”

The next day, in the name of the Assassin's Office, Li Congyan announced the charges of the Wu family and six other families in Huang County, Wendeng County, and Penglai County, which immediately caused an uproar.

This time, Li Congyan directly sent soldiers and horses to attack everywhere, and raided the seven small families who followed the three major families to resist taxes together, which can be said to have gained a lot, not only making up for the arrears of these families over the years, but also a large amount of money and grain into the warehouse.

After Wu Conghan's inventory, these seven small families alone contributed 610,000 yuan of money, 300,000 stone grains, and 7,800 hectares of land to the Assassin's Mansion, and the real estate scattered in one city and four counties in Dengzhou is more than 110 and more than 400 houses!

After this battle, Li Congyan had abundant money and grain in his hands, and began to order Wu Conghan to start smelting iron, and at the same time once again notified the three major families in the name of the Assassin's Mansion, ordering the three major families to pay their arrears within one month, and to send people to the Assassin's Mansion to buy tax stamps within five days.
