Chapter 222

A day after Qin Yu detained these officials, the newly appointed officials from all over the country took up their posts under the escort of a large group of soldiers and horses.

This incident still caused a huge sensation.

After all, the original officials were just going to attend Princess Zhaoyang's banquet, but they couldn't come back.

And after these officials took office, they also sent the families of those officials to Cangxian.

Some of the subordinates of the previous officials even suspected that their masters had been killed, and some even resisted, but they were all suppressed.

This time, Qin Yu equipped each official who took office with two hundred soldiers and horses.

The military power of each city, and those who can be replaced, have all been replaced.

After all, as a general on the edge of the town, it is very normal for him to replace all the county lieutenants in each county with his cronies.

Now that the county order has changed, the top two officials in a county are both Qin Yu's people.

Then, it was time to start changing the law.

On the third day of taking office, the new official pasted up the content of the change and sent someone to read it out.

The onlookers were puzzled at first, but after understanding the situation, they were all overjoyed.

"This! Does it mean that the government will take back the land to the government and give it to us for cultivation? ”

"That's right, but the land is not ours, it belongs to the government, and we are farming for the government."

"It's no different from before."

"No, no, no, there is a difference! We farm for the government, and we only need to pay grain tax, not land rent. ”

"This grain tax will not include land rent, right?" Some old men asked suspiciously.

At this time, someone promptly explained: "No! It is written above that the tax after the reform is seven percent lower than before the change! ”

"What! It's smaller than before! ”

"That's right! This is a change formulated by Lord Qin Yu himself, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has already agreed! In the future, as long as Lord Qin Yu is in Huaijun for a day! This method is immutable! Taxes will not increase! The official said to the people while the iron was hot.

"Lord Xie Qinyu! Lord Qin Yu is my reborn parent! Lord Xie Qinyu ······"

The people knelt on the ground one after another, grateful to Qin Yu.

And mixed among the people, the doglegs of the major families changed their faces greatly, and they hurriedly ran back to report.

For the newly appointed officials, the family will go to the mountain early.

However, in the past three days, they don't know how many things they have prepared, how many times they have been there, and they have all been turned away.

Now these families are still preparing to curry favor with the new county order.

As a result, the sudden change, like five thunderbolts, made all the families stupid.

That's when these families reacted.

These new officials turned out to be here to kill them, so naturally they won't see them.

Then there is endless anger, I treat you as a brother, and you want to raid my house, that is to die!

Some families fought back on the same day and directly set fire to the fields that were still under their control.

In order to stop the family, some of the people were injured and killed, and some were even burned alive.

This tragedy immediately shocked the entire Huai County, but what was even more shocking was the attitude of the government.

The government only investigated the scene, and then only said that it would launch an investigation and give everyone justice, and then there was no action.

In this regard, the people discussed a lot, and even questioned the government, believing that the reform had failed before it began.

The family is even more arrogant because of this.

The children of the family ran to the street to mock and change the law, which is a big joke.

He continued to provoke in front of the government, but the government closed the door and ignored it at all.

This made the people look down on the government even more, and some people even followed suit to ridicule the government.

However, it was only in the evening that the government issued a proclamation ordering that no one should enter or leave the streets after dark.

Almost no one paid attention to this, after all, the government was like this, and no one would have wandered the streets at night.

However, some people found that the city gate, which was originally closed when it was dark, was not closed until dark, but the curfew was there.

Late at night, there was a loud rumbling noise in the city, waking most of the people from their sleep.

Then, from a distance, I saw that the houses of some big families were on fire, and the flames reached into the sky.

Accompanied by screams that resounded in the night.

"Hell! Help me! Help me! There are ghosts! ”

Someone saw a son of a family fleeing to the street screaming.

Then I saw a fast horse chasing after me, and the most terrible thing was the man on horseback.

The man was burly and armored, but he had no head!

I saw the headless armor soldier on horseback, and the sword in his hand waved.

The cry of the prince of the family stopped abruptly, and his head rolled to the ground.

Some of the people who hid in the house and saw this scene were directly frightened and fainted.

Before the person who had fainted in fright, he watched as the armorer turned over and dismounted, lifted the head, tied up the corpse, mounted the horse and dragged the corpse away.

In the moonlight, you can faintly see the puddle of blood stains on the ground.

"Oh my God! This! This! It's a ghost soldier! The ghost soldiers of the Netherworld! ”

The people were so frightened that they didn't dare to catch their breath, and hurriedly fled back to the bed, shivering.

The screams in the city lasted only half an hour, but the people could not sleep all night.

It wasn't until after dawn that the people came out in fear.

I saw that the street that was originally stained with blood was actually clean, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

"Could it be that last night was all a dream?"

Many people have such questions in their hearts.

At this moment, someone found that almost all of the families in the city, from the head of the family to the servants who oppressed the people, were killed.

Yes, the mansion was burned to the ground.

Only then did people realize that last night's experience was not a dream.

Just when the people were talking about the ghost army, the government informed that the murderer who burned the field yesterday had been arrested and beheaded at noon today.

People rushed to the county government one after another, only to see a few people kneeling outside the county office, all of whom were from those families, and they didn't know how they survived.

Now they are all pale, and some have even gone crazy.

Some people believe that the government is incompetent, and only dares to attack these families after the ghost soldiers are infested.

However, the government did not give an explanation, but directly sent people to measure the land, and after registration, the land was redistributed.

After the people in the city followed, they also found that not only the families in the city, but even the forces of the families outside the city were killed.

Some shrewd people have also found the problem.

The ghost soldiers are infested and kill the family, this is a big deal.

But the attitude of the government, as if nothing had happened, ignored it, just asked someone to clean up the scene, and then began to recover the land.

It seems that the government knows all this, and may even be the government who planned all this.

If that's the case, it's really horrible!

This change of law is a river of blood!
