Chapter 234: The Wind Rises East of the River
Calculate the itinerary, with Han Xin's style of acting, today should be the time to do it!
Zhao Ying subconsciously looked in the direction of Dongfang Daliang City, and a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes. This is the first time he has taken such a drastic method since he crossed over.
This move is certainly risky.
If one is not good, it will attract a crazy counterattack from the nobles of the world.
But!
If Great Qin was destined to experience a rebellion, then Zhao Ying would rather let it start while the First Emperor was still alive!
……
Hedong County.
Daliang City.
The Ji family has been rooted in Daliang City for generations, and it has long been deeply rooted.
Huawu mansion, fertile land and thousands of tilts, is the top nobles in this Daliang City.
Today, it is the day of the 80th birthday of the old lady of the Ji family, the world has not yet dawned, almost half of the Liang City has begun to commotion, and the Ji family began to clean the court, only to buy wine and meat, and prepare for today's birthday banquet.
Just after the hour, guests from afar began to arrive.
With the passage of time, more and more people came to pay homage to their birthdays, and outside the gate of Ji's house, the crown and cover belonged to each other, and there was an endless stream. Ji Rao, the son of the Ji family, stood in the courtyard like a jade tree in the wind, politely receiving all the guests who came to pay their respects.
Of course, not everyone is qualified to come in, and not everyone is qualified to work for his eldest son to receive him personally. Some of those who are not qualified have already been guided to other places by the clansmen outside or the stewards of the house.
At this time, it was already early July.
Standing in the courtyard to entertain guests, it is not an easy job, after receiving a wave of relatives and friends with a smile on his face again, Ji Rao took the gap, secretly wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, and looked at the living room behind him where laughter came from time to time.
There, almost all the heads of the top families in Daliang City gathered.
He was entertained by his Aung Jibo himself.
in the living room.
There are not many people, but including Bi Tong and Wei He, the most powerful and influential nobles in the entire Hedong County, it can even be said that without their nod, the decrees of the county guard will be difficult!
Now, these people are all gathered in the living room of the Ji family, and they are decent.
It also fully proves the status of the Ji family in this Daliang City.
At this time, it is always the most beautiful scenery of the Ji family, and it is also the most comfortable day for Ji Bo. It's just that I don't know why, Ji Bo has always felt a little restless these days.
So much so that when entertaining Bi Tong and Wei He and others, they were a little distracted.
"Brother Ji, why do you seem to be a little distracted today-isn't it because I have recently accepted a few new concubines, and I am too old......
Seeing that Ji Bo was distracted again, Bi Tong finally couldn't help but laugh and teased in a joking tone.
"Ahh
Ji Bo turned around again, and saw that everyone was looking at him playfully, knowing that his demeanor just now had attracted everyone's dissatisfaction, so he could only smile bitterly.
"The old man is so old, where can he afford this-probably because he has been busy with his mother's birthday recently, he has not rested well, his spirit is not good, and he has neglected his friends, please forgive me......"
Ji Bo forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and explained.
Listening to Ji Bo's explanation, even if everyone was unhappy, they could only respond with a smile.
"Brother Ji is pure and filial, he is really a model for my generation, why should he be so polite......"
"It's extreme, it's ......"
“……”
The old lady of the Ji family celebrated her birthday.
Plenty of guests.
Outside the gate of the house, there are flowing water seats that stretch for several miles.
Even if it is just an ordinary tenant, as long as they come over and say a few words of flattery, they can sit down and have a rich feast.
Of course, there are really not many people who dare to come over with two shoulders to eat and drink, but whoever comes over has to express their hearts.
Even if you don't leave a meal, you have to follow a part and make a move in the direction of the Ji family's main house.
I don't dare to ask the lord to remember the favor of a little person like himself, but I just hope that the lord will not remember his own facelessness.
This is the dignity and prestige of the Ji family in Daliang City.
Although the Wei State has been destroyed for many years, the Ji family and other powerful families have not had much influence in private except that they have no power on the surface.
After all, the original family property is still there.
The connections are still there.
The prestige that has been built up over hundreds of years is still there.
The awe of the people at the bottom is still there.
Even if it is a local government, it has to give some face.
For example, today, the Ji family has come to many important officials from the county guard's mansion, and Ji Rao has already gone over to accompany him personally, and as for Ji Bo, there are more important guests who need him to receive them personally.
Looking at the sky, Ji Bo was about to send someone to the door to take a look, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
"The head of the Qi family, the county guard, and the county lieutenant, have come to visit—"
When Ji Bo heard this, he suddenly perked up and stood up.
Slightly bowed his hand to Bi Tong and Wei He and others.
"The county guard and the county lieutenant arrived, and the old man was absent for a moment and went to greet ......"
Bi Tong, Wei He and the others glanced at each other and got up one after another.
No matter how small they secretly made small moves, or no matter how much they despised this group of rough billets from Guanzhong, they didn't dare to refute the face of the county guard and the county lieutenant in person.
Walking out of the door, everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The county guard Zhao Mu is fine, with a habitual smile on his fat face, but Han Xin, the county lieutenant who has just taken office, is a little out of place, he is tall, with a long sword in his hand, and his face is cold.
Behind him, there was even a team of elite Xuanjia who were wearing stubborn and stubborn armor.
If you don't know, this is here to pay homage, maybe you have to suspect that this product is here to smash the field.
But—
With a cold face, that's also the master.
The face given has to be held.
"Two adults, you can take the time to come, and the humble house is shining! The old man greeted the late, and asked the two adults to ...... a lot."
Ji Bo smiled, led the crowd, and bowed forward.
Zhao Mu, as always, returned the salute with a smile.
Han Xin kept a straight face and looked around coldly.
"The people of the Ji family have all arrived ......"
All of them:......
Even Ji Bo, who has always been very well cultivated, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a trace of imperceptible anger flashed in his eyes, but he smiled and said.
"Back to the county lieutenant, today's mother's birthday banquet, most of the children of the clan are outside to entertain the distinguished guests who came to congratulate - however, most of the descendants of the family are here - where you are slack, please also ask Haihan to ......"
When Han Xin heard this, he did not return the salute, but pressed the long sword and nodded slightly.
"That's good—"
As he spoke, he waved his big hand violently, and said with a cold and solemn expression.
"The Ji family colluded with traitors, spread rumors, and intended to rebel......"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
Bi Tong and Wei He and the others had ugly faces, and Ji Bo was even more chilled down his spine and was shocked and angry.
"My lord, wronged—this is a crime to be added......
However, all that was waiting for him was Han Xin's cold answer.
"Take them all, if there is resistance, kill them!"
With Han Xin's order, the elite Xuanjia behind him, Hulala, rushed up, directly kicked Ji Bo over, pressed him to the ground and tied him up. The Ji family had a fast machine and wanted to escape while the chaos was over, but as soon as the person turned around, he was knocked to the ground by a crossbow shot, and was rushed up by someone and cut off his head with a knife. Scarlet blood gushed out, and the rich bloody aura made the scene stand still for an instant.
It also made the guests outside instantly dumbfounded.
"Zhao Mu, you dare - my Ji family is law-abiding, it is a good family, you are framed and wanton, I want to see Your Majesty......"
Seeing this, Ji Bo couldn't help but crack his eyes and began to struggle frantically.
Bi Tong and others couldn't help but clamoring together.
Zhao Mu smiled and arched his hand at them.
"Gentlemen, don't be impatient......"
As he spoke, he turned his head and commanded left and right.
"Someone, let's take the ...... together"
Bi Tong, Wei He and others couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
I still wanted to argue, but Zhao Mu and Han Xin had already lost the opportunity to talk to them, and with a wave of their big hand, the Xuanjia elite who followed behind rushed up. With the experience of the past just now, no one dares to act rashly.
The scene was quickly brought under control.
Shocking.
The movement in the front yard made the backyard chaotic.
"The dog officer is not good at coming this time-"
A young man with a sturdy figure jumped up and kicked over several cases in front of him.
"My Ji family is a hundred-year-old family, how can I suffer this humiliation, come to someone, copy the guy - I want to see who can take people from our Ji family......"
Seeing his second brother like this, Ji Rao couldn't help but hesitate.
"Second brother, don't ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was pushed aside by his second brother.
"If you let the government take Ah Weng away today, my Ji family's prestige will be discredited from now on——"
With that, he looked around.
"What's more, today's dog officials took the head of the family for the crime of rebellion, do you think that they will let us go - if they resist, there is still a glimmer of life, if they sit and wait to die, I am afraid that death will be ...... today"
The Ji family had their own private soldiers, but they couldn't summon them, but even so, they made him gather hundreds of Ding Nursing Homes, one by one, holding sharp blades and clamoring out.
However, before they could rush out of the backyard, a wave of arrows like dark clouds slashed at them.
Ji Rao and the brave second brother were killed on the spot.
I don't know who it is, I shouted and wanted to escape, however, there was no chance, and the overwhelming bows and arrows were fired, and the entire backyard suddenly turned into a sea of blood.
The old lady, who was in the house, waiting for her children and grandchildren to pay their respects, heard the movement, walked out of the door tremblingly, and when she saw the scene in front of her, her eyes suddenly turned black and she fell to the ground.
Act recklessly.
Hearing the movement in the backyard, Ji Bo, who originally had extravagant hopes, couldn't help but look dark in front of him, and his face was miserable.
He knew that the Ji family was finished!
If you don't resist, the Ji family still has a glimmer of life, and this resistance has completely pushed the Ji family into the bottomless abyss.
He reluctantly struggled to get up, and looked miserably at Bi Tong, Wei He and the others who had been thrown with him.
"Gentlemen, do you regret it - the Ji family is in a catastrophe today, I'm afraid that the Jun family will also have a catastrophe......"
Bi Tong, Wei He and others realized the seriousness of the problem and began to struggle desperately and shout out for injustice, however, it was too late.
Han Xin came here today, not to judge the case, but to close the case.
The Ji family, which has stood in Daliang City for hundreds of years, disappeared in one day. Since the head of the Ji family, within the five suits, all the descendants, regardless of the old and the young, have been slaughtered!
All those who tried to resist and flee were also killed by random arrows.
Almost at the same time, in Daliang City, more than a dozen prominent old Wei nobles, including Bi Tong and Wei He, were also taken down.
Most of them, however, were directly culled!
This time, in Daliang City, blood flowed like a river.
Everyone shuddered.
The families scattered in other cities were subjected to the same bloody purge.
The sixteen top nobles of Hedong County were almost swept away.
Zhao Mu, the county guard, and Han Xin, the county lieutenant, joined forces to collect all the assets within the five suits of the sixteen families to the government, and all the private slaves they raised were released as commoners.
As a result, Hedong County has tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land out of thin air, and the hidden population that has been investigated is as high as tens of thousands, and the amount of assets collected is even more innumerable, which is enough to cover the total amount of taxes collected by Hedong County for more than ten years.
The blood did not dry.
Hedong County has already launched a vigorous action to divide the land.
All the registered Qianshou can be divided into their own land and farm tools in accordance with the laws of Great Qin, and if they are willing, they can even pay a hundred big money to get back a mother-in-law from the Ji family.
Go home and live your little life.
Almost at the same time when Zhao Mu and Han Xin made their moves.
Countless books that recorded the crimes of the sixteen nobles of Hedong County began to be transported along the Chidao Road to all parts of the world, and Zhang Liang took the Great Qin storyteller to go deep into Hedong and launched a vigorous public opinion war.
It is easy to destroy the 16 families, but it is difficult to eliminate the public opinion of the world.
Zhang Liang knows this truth very well, and he also knows the bloodiness in it. He didn't want to meddle, but he couldn't help himself and had no choice.
As it turned out, this means that it is powerful.
After arriving, he did not simply publicize the "crimes" of the Ji family according to the script, but pioneered the local people and held complaint meetings in various places.
Appeared to tell the story and accuse the sixteen nobles of their crimes.
Anyone who comes forward to speak the truth, once it is verified, will be immediately investigated and dealt with impartially.
If the landed house is occupied, it shall be returned to the original owner immediately; If a child is forced into slavery, he shall be immediately released and returned home; If there is encroached land, the title deed will be taken back directly; If there is a forced loan, the bond will be burned directly......
At first, I hesitated, but I saw that some people took back their property for real money, comprehended their children, and took back their fields.
The situation suddenly changed.
Countless people have come forward to accuse these nobles of various crimes, and in the end, all kinds of tricks, unbelievable sounds of crimes have come out.
I can't tell the truth from the fake.
But obviously, the government doesn't have much intention to distinguish between truth and falsehood, as long as it is not too outrageous, most of them can get what they want, or get certain benefits.
At the same time, the newly baked crimes of the sixteen families also began to spread to the whole world, especially the land of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, with the help of Chi Dao and the mouths of the Great Qin Storyteller.
The main thing is that a thousand people point to it, and the crime is extremely heinous.
……
Handan County.
Zhang Er, who was chatting and drinking with Zhao Xie, heard the news, and couldn't help but see it, his throat was sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
