Boom~

The five copper coins were dripping and spinning in Lu Xuan's hand, constantly making a collision sound.

Every impact of the copper coin seems to hit the hearts of the people present, and everyone present is a celebrity family in Shangyang County, and if they are released by any family, they can be regarded as people who stomp their feet and tremble three times in the entire Shangyang County.

However, at this moment, the fate of them and their entire family was like the five copper coins in Lu Xuan's hand, and they couldn't help but let them play with it.

The wrinkles on Cui Yuan's forehead were already soaked with sweat, and the stick holder in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

"Come on, incense!" Lu Xuan looked at this scene, did not urge, and beckoned.

Sandao came in with an incense burner, placed it on the table in front of Lu Xuan, and inserted a piece of sandalwood into it to ignite.

"Elder Cui, I'll give you time to think about it." Lu Xuan pointed to the sandalwood: "After this pillar of incense is burned, the copper coin in my hand will fall to the ground, everyone is resigned to fate, of course, there is another solution." ”

"Please show the commander!" One of the family heads hurriedly said, and the others also looked at Lu Xuan with expectation.

Only Cui Yuan was even more sinking.

Although I don't know what Lu Xuan is going to do, it is by no means a good thing.

"Elder Cui, your own family admits it, and your family will be punished, and this game is over, how about it?" Lu Xuan looked at Cui Yuan playfully and said, "Don't you want to be a good person?" Give you the opportunity, use your family, in exchange for five, this is a heavenly merit, I think everyone here will remember your kindness, and in the future, you will also leave a beautiful mark for your Cui Lao, how about it? ”

Everyone looked at Cui Yuan with complicated eyes, expectation, sympathy and even a little hatred.

They are all Shangyang figures, and everyone knows very well that Lu Xuan's play is about people's hearts, and it is aimed at Cui Yuan, as long as Cui Yuan does not agree, even if he knows that this is Lu Xuan's intention, he will be dissatisfied with Cui Yuan in his heart.

If your family dies, you can save at least four families, how can this be considered a very cost-effective deal, why should you let everyone be buried with you because of your own selfishness?

Statistically, that's absolutely fine.

But in fact?

The choice is in Cui Yuan's hands, will Cui Yuan exchange his whole family's life for someone else's?

If it's just him, it might, but if it's the whole family, it's very difficult.

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he didn't say much, sat in his seat, quietly waiting for the sandalwood to burn, the sky outside the door had completely dimmed with the passage of time, and the maidservants lit a bright lamp, and the entire lobby was brightly lit, as bright as day.

Cui Yuan didn't choose to sacrifice his family in exchange for everyone's peace after all, seeing that the sandalwood was about to burn out, Cui Yuan took a deep breath, took out a lottery from the lottery holder and put it on the table of a family owner, and didn't look at the family owner, and went straight to the next family.

The atmosphere in the lobby was solemn to the extreme, and everyone's breath couldn't help but be short.

"Commander, this is not fair, what if Cui Yuan deliberately uses this to exclude dissidents!?" A head of the family who had been drawn to sign the lottery changed his face drastically, stood up and said loudly.

"This is your business, I said it, Cui Lao is responsible for this matter, I don't care how he sends it!" Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled.

Cui Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and the three family heads who had already drawn the lottery looked at Cui Yuan hatefully, while the others fell on Cui Yuan with their eyes.

Cui Yuan felt that the stick holder in his hand was a little heavier.

If Lu Xuan said this at the beginning, it would naturally be easy to do, just choose a few of the weakest, but now it won't work.

You must know that no matter where it is, the upper circle is so big, everyone protects and intermarries, attacks and defends alliances, and forms a seemingly solid circle, and now there are three families destroyed because of him, Cui Yuan has to consider whether the families close to these three families will hate themselves because of this.

Anyway, he has already offended many people with this move, so it is better to eliminate some dissidents in advance to reduce some trouble in the future!

On the contrary, those rich businessmen have little to do with this circle, and the remaining two places do not fall on them.

The joints in this, everyone can understand as long as they think about it, and several wealthy businessmen even showed grateful looks in their eyes when they looked at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuanming said on his face that he would not help anyone, but in fact, he used this method to circle the scope on the three family heads, and the rich businessmen sat at the end because of their status, but they were not affected, which was equivalent to helping them in disguise.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these wealthy businessmen were grateful to Lu Xuan at the moment, so they almost bowed their heads.

"Commander, the poisoning was done by the Wu family, and it has nothing to do with us, I beg the commander to take back his life!" One of the family heads looked at the sign in his hand, trembled for a moment, and suddenly stood up, pointed to another family head with a kind face, and said loudly.

When the head of the family heard this, his face turned pale, and he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Lu Xuan.

"Don't make a fuss, you're not trying to let me investigate the case, are you?" Lu Xuan said with a smile: "I said, what I want today is to explain, someone must pay for the lives of my thirty-four brothers who died, as for whom, it doesn't matter!" ”

"Why did he do the evil that he wanted me to pay for it!?" The head of the house shouted.

"Maybe, it's your life." Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, the draw is over, three knives!" ”

"Yes!" Sandao stepped forward and intervened.

"Take all the heads of the family back, let them say goodbye to their families, move quickly, the other heads of the family are still waiting to go back to eat!" Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Without saying a word, people lifted five unlucky people who were paralyzed on the ground, turned around and left, and dense footsteps sounded outside the door again, everyone knew what they were doing, but at this moment, everyone present, including Cui Yuan, lost the previous fear and anxiety, and only had a joy for the rest of their lives.

It's just that in this kind of scene, it's not easy to show joy.

"Okay, as I said before, this matter, this is the end, if there is something similar in the future, please come and draw lots." Lu Xuan knocked on the table and brought everyone back to their senses.

"Next, it's the problem of governance in Shangyang County! I have to talk to all the family masters about the rules of my Unification Church. Lu Xuan looked at everyone.

"Commander, please!" Everyone hurriedly cheered up and looked at Lu Xuan.

"My rules are very simple, they are the hearts of the people!" Lu Xuan sat in his position and looked at the crowd: "The family that is gone today, its family property will be confiscated, it is the property that belongs to my Unified Sect, whoever moves, who dies; In addition, you also make a registration, I want to know how many acres of land you have at home, how many shops, if you find that there are more in the future, that is what I teach, registered things, need to pay taxes, before it was two taxes and one! Now that it's more stable, let's change to three taxes and one. ”

If it was before, everyone might still fight with Lu Xuan, but now, no one dares to fight, and they even feel a little relieved.

After all, everyone knows the taxes that Lu Xuan set for the rich families in Sanyang County, and now that Lu Xuan has taken the initiative to reduce it, everyone even has a feeling of joy.

"In addition, my sect has just occupied Shangyang County, and there is a lack of governance talents, and each family has sent people to help govern, I don't care how to govern it, I only have two requirements!" Lu Xuan flipped his hand and took out his Taishou Seal and said: "I can check the increase and decrease of the qi luck of each county here, the luck that belongs to my Unified Sect cannot be less, only more, once there is a large-scale loss of qi luck, or I hear remarks in my ears that are not conducive to my Unified Sect or my personal, let's play a lottery, and next time I will issue lots." ”

"In addition, I can't afford to pay less taxes here."

"That's it, it won't embarrass you, will it?" Lu Xuan looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the country, this method was also used to evaluate the performance of officials.

Besides, this luck is the people's heart, if this thing wants to rise, the previous squeezing method will naturally not work, it must benefit the people, and it will really benefit the people!

But you can't just benefit the people, those who can get into this position actually have research on human nature, sometimes you are too good to people, not only can you not make the people grateful, and even there will be revenge, so that the people take it for granted.

Lu Xuan's two conditions seem simple, but in fact, they have cut off most of everyone's previous financial routes.

It is not enough to return to poverty, with the current industrial base of everyone, even if they pay taxes in a proper manner, the wealth is enough for their families to live a prosperous life.

Lu Xuan left them a way to live.

But as the old saying goes, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality!

is used to the life of the earth emperor who is above all living beings, and if he wants to live this kind of hard life, there are a few people who are willing, not to mention that not only is the life bad, but he also has to make cattle and horses for others.

If any official comes over, they will directly refuse, and this matter is not negotiable.

But in the face of Lu Xuan......

Do not do it? Don't do a fun lottery!

Do you say to do it or not?

"Good!" Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that there is no opinion, in the future, Cui Lao will be responsible for this aspect, and everyone will discuss the rest of the matters on their own, and we rough people will not interfere." ”

Lu Xuan got up as he spoke, and looked at everyone: "It's too late today, tomorrow, let's go to the county office tomorrow to do something, what do you need, figure it out yourself, remember, if there is a little loss in the reputation of me and the Guiyi Sect, I will come to play games with you!" It's a lot of fun, and I want to play it a few more times! ”

"Yes!" Everyone can only say yes, today's trouble, it is difficult for these big families in Shangyang County to unite together, and the power has also been killed by Lu Xuan, at least one-third, it is almost impossible to resist Lu Xuan, and they can only hope that the court will kill this evil ghost as soon as possible.

Thinking that when Lu Xuan opened a warehouse to release grain, Sun Fang refused when he sent someone to ask for grain, many people regretted it a little, knowing that this was the case, they should have fully supported Sun Fang in the first place.

It's just that now, what's the use of talking about it? Let's compromise for the time being.

Such a domineering style is destined to be long-term.

"Let's all disperse, I haven't prepared any food here, so I won't leave you to eat!" Lu Xuan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave.

Although I didn't have the heart to eat, but after hearing this, everyone still slandered in their hearts, and the death row prisoner was given a severed head meal, which is good here, and I drank a stomach of tea!
