Chapter 17: The Quagmire

Sanyang County, county government.

Lu Yu's head was placed on the table in front of Jiang Shu, and Jia Youdao knelt under the hall, wandering out of the world.

He probably knew his fate, on the way back from Shangyang County, he had already done a good job of psychological construction, since he couldn't escape, he could only die, and it was better for one person to die than for the whole family to die.

Jiang Shu looked at Lu Yu's head with a gloomy expression, a six-grade master, just gone?

Not even a splash was made.

It's just a bandit, even if Lu Xuan doesn't leave, a realm martial artist can't kill a six-grade martial artist, how did Lu Xuan do it?

The person who is used as a whetstone by himself always seems to be able to jump out of his own cognition and then give himself a resounding slap in the face.

Last time, it was like this, the situation that should have been won was broken by him, and the two realms didn't matter, but the death of his sister-in-law Jiang Yao made him heartbroken, and it also caused a rift in the brotherly relationship between him and his younger brother Jiang Heng.

The same is true this time, the loss of a six-rank martial artist is more heart-wrenching to Jiang Shu than Jiang Yao's death.

This is the six products, no matter where it is placed, it is enough to dominate the existence of one side, how many are the six products of the entire Daqian, although the Jiang family is the prime minister's court, but aside from Confucianism, the Jiang family's six martial arts are just that.

The eight six-rank martial artists who followed Jiang Shu to Yunzhou this time were not only here to protect him, but more importantly, to facilitate the acquisition of military power.

Now not only has nothing been accomplished, but a six-rank martial artist has been folded!

He looked at Jia Youdao for a long time before he slowly said, "Jia County Order, you disappointed me!" The harvest of the field made the people's resentment boiling, and in the end, the field was confiscated back, and it angered the entire Shangyang magnates, how did you do it? ”

"My lord, it's that Lu Xuan, that Lu Xuan is inhumane, wantonly killing good people, this matter can't be blamed on the lowly position!" With the last trace of luck, Jia Youdao kowtowed to Jiang Shu.

"I don't blame you?" Jiang Shu threw a stack of letters on the table on Jia Youdao's face with some weakness: "This is a letter sent by the gentry of Shangyang County, which not only caused public resentment boiling, but also offended all the Shangyang magnates, how did you do it?" And how can I use you!? ”

The people's resentment boiled, and in the end, Jia Youdao was killed.

But the final result was that a lot of people were killed, and as a result, not only did they not confiscate it, but also let the Shangyang gentry die in pieces, almost offending Shangyang County from the officials to the people.

Jiang Shu estimated that after Lu Xuan's trouble, even if he personally collected the land and sent it to these gentry next time, no one would dare to ask for it.

In the past, whether it was drumming and passing flowers, or drawing lots, the unlucky ones were a minority after all, although the experience of the game process was extremely poor, but after all, the vast majority of people could live.

But this time is different, not only Shangyang County, except for Sanyang, at least half of the wealthy gentry in each county have been emptied.

In the letters sent by Shangyang County, half of them condemned Jiang Shu for misemploying people, and chose Jia Youdao as a waste who flattered and bullied his subordinates and did not do good things, and the other half urged Jiang Shu to beg the thief as soon as possible.

Lu Xuan is in Shangyang County for a day, and the days of these wealthy gentry can't be lived.

You must know that most of the land that was divided by Lu Xuan was theirs.

Lu Xuan, a bandit, doesn't pay attention to the rules, is barbaric and vulgar, he can only kill people in one move, it doesn't make sense to reason with him, as long as he lives for a day, this Shangyang gentry doesn't dare to make any moves, so he can only come to reason with Jiang Shu.

What can Jiang Shu do?

These old things can't afford to provoke Lu Xuan, so they come to provoke themselves, Jiang Shu can't wait to be like Lu Xuan now, but he can't do it.

In order to prevent martial artists from violating the ban, the imperial court issued a strict order after the expulsion of Daqian from Buddhism three hundred years ago, and there should be no unofficial martial artists of seven grades or higher in various places.

For this reason, there was a conquest that shook the entire Great Qian Dynasty, and hundreds of people died in the Liupin martial arts alone, which concentrated all the folk masters in the Tiandu area.

In recent years, with the decline of imperial power, some big families have secretly cultivated masters in the clan, but after three hundred years, it has become a trend for masters to go to Tiandu.

Only in Tiandu do they have the best resources, the best exercises, and the best teachers, don't look at the strength of these wealthy families in Shangyang County, they are bullied by Lu Xuan, a little thief, but the energy behind them is not weak at all.

Not to mention that behind Cui Yuan is the Huangzhou Cui family, that is, behind other families, it is not that there are no masters, and there is no interference here, because Yunzhou is now the Jiang family's sphere of influence by default.

But if the Jiang family can't handle this matter, then the other families will have plenty of reasons to come and deal with it.

That's right, with the issuance of the imperial court's decree allowing the local Taishou to recruit troops and fight thieves on their own, the cake of Daqian has been almost divided, but the first time the cake was not divided into the Jiang family, so there were three great horsemen who went out of the sky to quell the rebellion, and then Shangyang Taishou returned to Jiang Shu, and the other eight counties in Yunzhou were either the Jiang family as the Taishou or the Jiang family's doormen.

The territory belongs to your Jiang family, but the interests can't all be given to the Jiang family, many big households in Yunzhou can directly talk to Tiandu, and they are also attached there, people don't occupy your rights, but the property can't be moved away, since the Jiang family wants it here, people don't send masters to intervene, but you have to ensure that other people's properties are there.

Now that the rich have been cut down by Lu Xuan, if Jiang Shu can't deal with this matter as soon as possible, there will be more trouble in the future, let alone slashing people as unscrupulously as Lu Xuan.

Jiang Shu is not afraid of boiling public resentment, but he can't accept the death of these big families in various counties, or he can't bear it, he must give an explanation as soon as possible, and there is enough compensation.

Lu Xuan...... Why can't you die!

At this moment, Jiang Shu no longer thinks about any whetstone matters, he just wants to kill Lu Xuan as soon as possible, he can see that this stunned young man or ignorant person has no scruples about doing things at all, and letting this kind of person continue to live is an endless disaster for himself, for this Shangyang County and even for the Jiang family.

He must be killed!

"Your Excellency...... The villain is no longer an official, just begging for mercy for the villain's life! Jia Youdao knelt on the ground like a quail, and the originally good psychological construction still collapsed at this moment.

He still doesn't want to die, no one wants to die!

"Spare you?" Jiang Shu sighed and said: "I can't spare it, there are too many people you have offended in Shangyang County, if you don't die, it will be difficult for this official to do it, take you first...... Family, let them vent. ”

Jia Youdao raised his head when he heard this, and his pale face was full of despair: "My lord, the villain is not guilty of this!" ”

"Don't you understand? It doesn't matter if you kill you, or kill your whole family, it's not a big crime, it's just to vent your anger, if you just hurt the people, it's enough for you to kill alone, but this time, you offended the people with the most background in Shangyang County, why are you so stupid? What Lu Xuan asked you to do, you did? ”

"I ...... I ......" Jia Youdao trembled his lips and couldn't speak, Lu Xuan didn't leave himself any other choice, he wanted to die to get rid of it, but Lu Xuan was even more ruthless, forcibly dragging this cause and effect on himself, did he have a choice? Nope!

"Drag it off!" Jiang Shu glanced at him in disgust, this kind of waste that can't do things and will cause trouble, he really doesn't even have the mood to take one more look!

"Adult, give the villain another chance!" Jia Youdao struggled to get up, but Jiang Shu's guards would care about him.

"Jiang Shu, you won't end well, you are not as good as Lu Xuan at all, you are a waste! A reincarnated waste! Lao Tzu is waiting for you underground! Seeing that not only did he inevitably die, but even the whole family had to suffer, and when he was dragged out of the door, Jia Youdao finally broke out, looking in the direction of Jiang Shu and yelling.

"Chop!" Jiang Shu's face darkened, he was called a genius since he was a child, in the year of the weak crown, he had a seven-grade martial artist, a six-grade Confucian and Taoist cultivator, determined to do a career, revitalize the lintel of the Jiang family, the most hated people said that he was just reincarnated, but at this moment Jia Youdao knew that he would die, how could he scruple so much, cursed all the way, and finally was removed by the guards with his chin off, and he was still screaming there, which made Jiang Shu's heart even more irritable.

"My lord, don't bother with such villains!" A Confucian student looked at Jiang Shu's expression and said comfortingly: "The most important thing at the moment is to solve that Lu Xuan." ”

"I don't know, it's just ......" Jiang Shu glanced at Lu Yu's head, frowned, and said, "Now I don't know how many masters there are around Lu Xuan." ”

In fact, the best way is to invite a five-rank martial artist to come over, and it is also the safest.

But don't talk about him as a Wupin martial artist, Jiang Song may not be able to support him, unless he passes by here like Yuwentong did last time, it's okay to help himself by the way, let the family come over, Jiang Shu doesn't think he has such a big face.

"It should be the four people that Na Jia Youdao said, even if these four people are all sixth-grade, plus that Lu Xuan also used a secret method to forcibly break through to sixth-grade, they are only five sixth-grade, and there can't be more." Confucian thought to himself.

In terms of six grades, Lu Xuan can't be more than them, although Confucianism has no city protection, his strength is a little unbearable to look at, but aside from Confucianism and the dead Lu Yu, Jiang Shu also has seven six-grade masters here.

Lu Yu's death was just a surprise, if it was a clear carriage and horse, Lu Xuan would not have won here.

"But how do you find them?" How Jiang Shu didn't know this truth, but the biggest problem now is that Lu Xuan is in the dark, they are in the light, with Lu Yu's previous experience, knowing that Lu Xuan has the strength to kill the six products, he doesn't dare to separate people again, so what Lu Xuan is best at is to find people to be ruthless, and he will separate people now, isn't it to give Lu Xuan a chance to break through?

"It's naturally not possible to look for it directly, but if you can counter one or two of its subordinates, it won't be difficult to do so." Confucius said with a smile: "If Lu Xuan wants to control the outside of the city now, he will definitely not shrink out. ”

Jiang Shu looked at Confucius: "Are you sure?" ”

"If it's just a few people, I'm not sure, looking at Lu Xuan, this person, fierce, ruthless, and good wrists, but he does things without leakage, if there are few people, it is really difficult to do this, but now he controls the entire Shangyang County, and there are a lot of people under his command, there are many people, it is inevitable that there will be unpleasant things, even if there is not, which man can pass all of them? I don't believe that everyone under his command is a sage. ”

"That's right." Jiang Shu nodded, his expression softened a lot, looked at Confucius and said, "Then I will entrust this matter to you." ”

"It's not that hard." Confucius nodded, there was no risk in this kind of thing, he looked at Jiang Shu and said, "Actually, I'm more worried about another thing!" ”
