Chapter Ninety-One: The Squalor of the Aristocrats

Mountains of grain were piled up in the storehouse of the Feng Mansion, all of which had been packed into sacks, if it weren't for the sudden attack of Mo Jun on this trip, these grains would probably have been shipped out of the Feng Mansion by now.

Rough eyes.

In this warehouse alone, there are enough 30,000 or 40,000 stone of grain, and in such a warehouse, the black armor soldiers have found four of them in the Feng Mansion.

It adds up to more than 100,000 stone grains.

What is the concept of hundreds of thousands of stone grains?

Among the Seven Kingdoms today, Qin has the largest population, with about six million people.

The total population of the entire Nanjun County is only 500,000 or 600,000 people, and the scope of this flood is not wide, and it can only be regarded as a small disaster, even if all the victims are added up, there will be 30,000 or 40,000 people at most.

The hundreds of thousands of stone grain hoarded by the Feng clan alone, even if only half of it was taken out and sold, was enough to easily help Nanjun survive this disaster.

However, the Feng clan and the other three clans not only did not take out the grain for sale, but also bought all the grain on the market on a large scale, artificially manipulating the price of grain, causing the price of grain to skyrocket.

And so it goes.

The 'flood', which could only be regarded as a cautionary disaster, directly expanded into a 'food shortage' that affected half of Nam-gun.

"Leave a team of soldiers and horses to guard here, and send someone to the county guard to inform Zhanqin and ask him to bring someone to transport the grain here. The rest of you, come with me! ”

Mo Jun, who had long known the urine nature of these clans, was not shocked by the hundreds of thousands of stone grains hoarded here, after all, he had already seen this kind of thing once when he was in Korea.

With an expressionless face and the next task arranged, Mo Jun was ready to turn around and leave the Feng Mansion and go to the clan land of the other three major clans.

In fact, at the beginning, the other three clans, Mo Jun did not plan to do it himself, originally only needed him to find the 'evidence' here, and he would use the fire sulfur stone to transmit a signal to notify the other three parties to attack directly.

However, the Feng clan's private cultivation of the 'army' was beyond Mo Jun's expectations.

Therefore, when it was unclear whether the other three major clans were involved in this matter, Mo Jun planned to act more safely.

However, just as Mo Jun was about to leave, he saw a black-armored soldier hurriedly running over and whispered to Mo Jun: "My lord, there is a situation!" ”

A moment later.

Following behind the black-armored soldiers, Mo Jun came to the underground of the Feng Mansion, an extremely hidden basement.

And just after Mo Jun saw the situation in this basement clearly, his originally calm mood fluctuated violently for the first time······

······

The clan land of the Zhu family is not far from the Feng Mansion.

The Zhu clan is the family that controls the most 'underground forces' in Nanjun among the four major clans, and most of the 'underground forces' are lawless people who have no rules to speak of.

Those who want to subdue the 'underground forces' can only be more ferocious, more brutal, and more lawless than them.

Therefore, Zhu Baili, the head of the Zhu clan, is also the most short-tempered person in the entire four major clans.

In order to prevent the Zhu clan from jumping over the wall in a hurry, the army surrounding the Zhu clan was also personally commanded by Li Xin, and cooperated with the first-class master of the rivers and lakes to take action.

"General Li is so rash to mobilize the border army, I'm afraid it is not in accordance with the law!"

At this time, in front of the gate of the Zhu clan, the two parties were facing each other.

On one side was the black-armored soldiers of the Qin State led by Li Xin, but on the other side there was only one person, and that was an old man with narrow eyes, a smile, wearing an official uniform, and looking like a fox.

This person is the county of Nanjun - Zhu Lunian.

The duty of the county is to assist the county guard in the administration and prison work of the county, and his status is the same as that of the county lieutenant and the imperial history, and he is one of the three supreme governors of a county except for the county guard.

In the previous Nanjun, the county lieutenant was concurrently served by Meng Wu, and the imperial historian was Lü Buwei's person.

And now behind this county is the Zhu family among the four major clans.

So at this moment, even in the face of a whole army, Zhu Lunian still seemed calm and composed.

"General Ben received a report that someone smuggled the armor of the Chu State into Yingdu with the intention of rebellion. Now that he has been ordered to mobilize a large army to investigate the rebels, how can it be unreasonable? ”

"Hehe~~ General Li didn't seem to understand what the official meant. What this official means is that General Li's investigation of the rebels is legal and reasonable, but what evidence does General Li have to prove that this matter is related to my Zhu family? ”

"In addition, General Li claimed that he was ordered to mobilize the army, and whose order was he given? Is it General Meng, or is it ······ The Castlemaster? ”

Zhu Lunian was a little rich, and he smiled like a kind rich man, but through his fox-like eyes, it could be seen that this person was obviously not as simple as it seemed.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "This matter is a secret in the army, and I have nothing to say." ”

Hearing Li Xin say this, Zhu Lunian was not annoyed, and still smiled and said: "Since General Li doesn't want to say more, then this official won't ask more." ”

However, according to Qin law, any mobilization of more than 50 soldiers must go through the edict written by the king himself. Even if General Meng is sitting on the border and has the right to transfer troops in battle, he can only transfer military horses externally. ”

"Today's incident, if General Li can't give a reasonable explanation, then don't blame the official for being a private soldier and oppressing the people."

In the end, Zhu Lunian no longer continued to hide his true nature, and two cold cold lights suddenly bloomed in a pair of narrow eyes.

Hearing this, Li Xin also fell silent for a while.

What Zhu Lunian said is not completely unreasonable, at least from the perspective of the law of the Qin State, tonight's transfer of troops is indeed unreasonable.

If there is not enough 'evidence' for tonight's action, then once the other party counters them, I am afraid that Mo Jun, Li Xin, and Meng Wu, who mobilized troops tonight, will not be able to eat and walk around.

Li Xin became famous at a young age, and now he has reached his current position in the year of the crown, so he naturally does not want to give up his hard-earned status and reputation.

Therefore, in the face of Zhu Lunian's remarks, he also struggled for a while.

And Zhu Lunian seemed to see Li Xin's hesitation in his heart, and suddenly his face changed, and he smiled and said: "Of course, if General Li retreats tonight, we will discuss slowly in the future." This official can take tonight's incident as a misunderstanding, what does General Li think? ”

Li Xin looked at Zhu Lunian, who was smiling like a fox on the other side, and didn't have time to respond.

Suddenly.

I only heard a cold voice without the slightest emotion suddenly came from behind me: "I don't think so." The Zhu family, privately made armor, intended to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, and now the official has the power to guard the southern county to issue a verdict, and immediately arrest the Zhu family and return to the case, if there is resistance, kill on the spot. ”

"Mojun, you dare?"

As soon as Mo Jun's voice sounded, he saw an old man in Tsing Yi who had eyes and hair like an angry lion suddenly rushed out from within the gate of the Zhu Mansion, and said in a loud voice towards the front.

Sou!

As soon as the old man in Tsing Yi finished speaking, he saw a spear suddenly shoot out, instantly piercing through the chest of the old man in Tsing Yi, and nailed it to the gate of Zhu Mansion with a spear.

The old man in Tsing Yi was the contemporary head of the Zhu family, "Zhu Baili", Zhu Baili obviously didn't expect Mo Jun to really dare to do it to himself, so until he died, his face still maintained an angry expression, and his eyes were still full of incredulity.

"The Zhu clan intends to rebel, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

After nailing Zhu Baili with a spear, Li Xin and Zhu Lunian didn't even react, and even Mo Jun had already led the black-armored soldiers and rushed directly into Zhu's mansion.

The battle ended after two quarters of an hour.

As expected.

The Zhu clan also secretly hid a group of 'guards', but this time Mo Jun had taken precautions in advance, and Li Xin brought a lot of troops, so the other party did not set off any waves.

As for the Zhu family, there are quite a few masters in the rivers and lakes, after all, they are in charge of many 'underground forces' in Nanjun, but unfortunately there are more masters on Mojun's side.

This time, Mo Jun did not exterminate the Zhu family, after all, there will be a public trial next, and there must be a few examples that can be "beheaded for public display and canonical punishment".

After dealing with the affairs of the Zhu family, Mo Jun had just walked out of the gate with a bloody body, and saw Zhu Lunian, who had long lost his previous composure, pointing at him with trembling hands,

"Mojun, you, you, this madman, the Queen Mother will never ······"

Burst!

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Jun backhanded a sword and pierced his heart directly.

With this kind of decisive shot, the hearts of several people around him couldn't help jumping.

Then Mo Jun turned over and said in a hoarse voice: "Next!" ”

At this time, Mo Jun's eyes were bloodshot, and the low air pressure around the whole person could be felt even if he was a foot away, such Mo Jun was completely different from the previous carefree appearance.

Even Li Xin, who has always been cold and arrogant, closed his mouth at this time, and simply left a team of people to take care of the 'criminals', and after closing the Zhu family, he followed Mo Jun and left.

"Hey~~ What's wrong with him?" After Mo Jun walked out of a distance, the wine sword idiot finally couldn't help but whisper to Zhu Yeqing and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've seen some noble dirty stuff." Zhu Yeqing glanced at her and said lightly.

"Oh!"

The wine sword idiot nodded suddenly.

As a wandering swordsman who had sneaked into the palace of the Four Kings several times to steal wine, the drunken swordsman naturally knew the dirty things of many nobles, and he was also angry at first, but after a long time, he gradually became numb.

Because there are so many such things, so many that they can't be changed by the power of one person alone.

But then the drunken sword idiot wondered again: "Isn't this kind of thing already the norm?" Isn't that guy also a nobleman? Why is he so angry? ”

"You ask me? I don't know. ”

Regarding Mo Jun's anger, Zhu Yeqing also felt a little puzzled.

After all, although the picture I saw in the basement of the Feng family before was rare, it was definitely not rare among the aristocratic group.

In Zhu Yeqing's opinion, as a member of the 'noble' group, it is impossible for Mo Jun not to have heard of these things.

But at this time, the killing intent emanating from Mo Jun's body couldn't be faked, so Zhu Yeqing felt a little strange.

······

After the Zhu family, there is the Cheng family.

The Cheng clan was not much different from the first two, and as soon as the army led by Mo Jun and Li Xin arrived, it was bulldozed in an instant.

However, when Mo Jun led the black armor soldiers to the last Rong clan, things happened a little unexpectedly, because everyone in the Rong clan had been subdued before Mo Jun entered the mansion.

And the person who took control of all the Rong clan also surprised Mo Jun, it was none other than the contemporary Rong clan's external representative "Mrs. Rong".

The Rong clan is one thing different from the other three major clans in that the contemporary head of the Rong clan suddenly contracted a serious illness three years ago, and no one knows what means the wife of the contemporary head of the Rong clan used to put the 'temporary power' of the head of the family in the hands of a woman.

When Mo Jun arrived at the Rong Mansion, most of the main members of the Rong clan were already unconscious, as if they had been drugged, they had been tied up with five flowers, covered their mouths, and handed over to the black-armored soldiers led by Jian Jiuyuan to guard.

"The concubine has seen the county guard."

Seeing Mo Jun walking into the lobby, Mrs. Rong hurriedly got up and greeted her.

Mo Jun glanced at the members of the Rong clan who were still awake around him, all staring at Mrs. Rong in front of him with hatred, resentment, and anger, and slowly spoke: "I don't know what Mrs. Rong means?" ”

seemed to see what Mo Jun really wanted to ask, and Mrs. Rong didn't hesitate, just smiled bitterly and said, "The concubine just wants to protect herself." ”

"Not long after the concubine married into the Rong family, she discovered the ambition of the Rong family's 'intention to rebel'. The concubine knew very well that they were playing with fire, and sooner or later they would be set on fire. ”

"So just after getting the news that the county guard had taken action against the other three clans, the concubine guessed this, so she took a step ahead of her to kill her relatives, and only asked the county guard to let me "Lu Clan" have a way out for the sake of the concubine's lost way. ”

The Lu family is Mrs. Rong's maiden family, and it is also one of the old aristocratic forces in Nanjun.

Rebellion is a major crime of the 'Yi Three Clans', so once the evidence is conclusive, as the contemporary 'acting head of the Rong family' and the wife, Mrs. Rong's maiden 'Lu family' will also not be able to escape the reckoning.

Therefore, in order to protect the 'Lu family', Mrs. Rong's righteous killing of her relatives seems reasonable.

However, during this time, Mo Jun has also dealt with Mrs. Rong a few times, and he knows very well that this woman is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, so no one knows how true or false her words just now are.

I thought about it for a moment.

Mo Jun did not give Mrs. Rong a response, but instead asked, "Where is the grain?" ”

"It's at the grain depot, and the concubine can take the county guard to it now."

The food hoarded by the Rong clan was not as good as that of the Feng clan, but the amount was also quite large, close to 100,000 stones.

After a brief look at the grain.

Mo Jun suddenly asked as if unintentionally: "The Rong family, do you have a meat pool?" ”
