Chang'an, the former Shuhou Mansion.

After Lin Ze entered the city, he naturally stayed here, for no other reason, just because he had lived here for a period of time and was more accustomed to living.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Xia Yun, bowed slightly and stood in front of Lin Ze, and said respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, the minister was ordered to lead the Jinyi Guard to invite the major noble families this time, and a total of three hundred and eighty-six families were sent letters. ”

Of these, 321 agreed on the spot and arrived as promised, five were on the way and were about to arrive, and 25 politely refused, and arrived as scheduled after being advised by Jinyiwei. ”

"There are only thirty-five families, and not only do they resolutely refuse to come, but they also speak out without saying anything and are disrespectful to the lord of the country. In order to maintain the majesty of the lord, Jinyiwei dispatched more than 3,000 people to arrest all the 35 clansmen scattered in various places. ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly when he heard this: "This matter is good, the thirty-five families who resolutely refused to come, arranged for people to raid their homes, and all the survivors were put into the hard labor camp." ”

"The five families who were late were fined half of their wealth and confiscated half of their wealth, and they were put into the tuntian camp to work for five years, and they were released after performing well during the five years. ”

"Let the rest of them come as promised, let the heads of their families, or the people in charge, come tomorrow to see Gu. ”

Xia Yun arched his hand and replied, "No." ”

......

In the past, more than 300 people in Chinese costumes stood there and discussed.

Until a figure landed on a makeshift platform, the discussion stopped abruptly.

Lin Ze sat on a Taishi chair and said indifferently: "I haven't seen you for a long time, do you still recognize Lone?"

Suddenly, a person came out of the crowd and asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the Marquis of Shu, where is Your Majesty?"

Lin Ze looked at the person in front of him, his face showed surprise, and he turned his head to Xia Yun beside him and asked, "Didn't you tell them the actual situation?"

Xia Yun arched his hand and replied: "Back to the lord of the country, the lord of the country did not give orders, and the minister did not dare to say more." ”

Lin Ze couldn't help but be a little speechless, thought for a while and said: "You start with the joint attack on Qin, pick some important things that happened, tell them about it, and mainly introduce the current situation." ”

"The minister obeys," Xia Yun arched his hand, took a few steps forward, faced everyone, and said loudly: "On the orders of the lord of the country, I will tell you what happened." ”

The three parties joined forces to attack Qin and attack Chang'an, the sage attacked, and the people of Chang'an City died......

Episodes came out of Xia Yun's mouth, and these veteran nobles of the Qin State spent an hour in shock.

In particular, the death of Emperor Qin and the death of the people of Chang'an City made it difficult for everyone to accept.

Why did Lin Ze say before that the heads of various families or the people in charge came to see him, because more than half of the heads of the families here died in the catastrophe in Chang'an City.

Why didn't these people get the news, because the death in Chang'an City was extinct, and no one passed on the news.

Because the time was too short, they didn't realize the abnormality yet, and sent someone to investigate why Chang'an City suddenly broke the news.

So much so that when I heard these news today, I was shocked beyond words.

While the others were still immersed in shock and sadness, Meng Han, the previous head of the Meng family, came out of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the lord of the country what is the reason for me to wait?"

Lin Ze secretly praised when he heard this, the person who knows the times is Junjie, and the title is so natural and promising.

Lin Ze said with a straight face: "Don't hide it from you, I sent someone to summon you to come, not for anything else, I just want you to contribute and stabilize Guanzhong as soon as possible, don't cause chaos." ”

As soon as Lin Ze's words came out, someone in the crowd immediately said angrily: "Rebel ministers and thieves, also worthy of letting me serve?" I am an old Qin man in life and an old Qin ghost in death, and I will never do anything for you, a traitor. ”

This remark immediately resonated with some people, and more than a dozen people immediately echoed: "That is, it is impossible to surrender to the traitor." ”

Xia Yun, who was standing on the side, changed his face greatly, and bowed and said: "The lord of the country, this is the person of the Fan family, and the minister asks the lord of the country to give an order to destroy the Fan family." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I just want to see how many people have a head iron." ”

In fact, out of more than 300, only a dozen of them clearly spoke out against it, and most of the rest remained silent and did not express their position, which was much better than Lin Ze imagined.

Lin Ze stood up, walked to the edge of the high platform, looked at everyone condescendingly and said: "It is an established fact that the Qin State is dead, you have no ability to reverse heaven and earth, so why should you destroy yourself and the family that has been inherited for thousands of years because of foolish loyalty?"

"As the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, now that the Western Qin is rising, inheriting the legacy of the Qin State, and is about to dominate the world, why don't you raise your clan to take refuge in order to ensure the continuation of the family?"

After these words, the noisy people suddenly spread from a dozen to more than 30.

Lin Ze's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't say much, Lone gives you two choices, take refuge in Western Qin, stand on Lone's right hand, retain the title and family private property, and enter the court as an official, without discrimination." ”

"Those who do not want to take refuge stand on the left hand side of Lonely, and bear the consequences. ”

In the originally silent family, many people looked at Lin Ze's eyes, which was a little more inexplicable.

This Marquis of Shu seems to be a little more atmospheric than the legend.

A few people who were clamoring for a discord with the traitors suddenly died down, and no one walked to the left.

However, some people silently moved a few steps to the right, and most of them still stood in place.

It's not that these people have a hard time making a choice, but they don't want to be too ugly.

Lin Ze smiled lightly and instructed Xia Yun: "Light an incense stick and send someone to note their location, within a pillar of incense, those who do not move in place are regarded as standing on the left." ”

Lin Ze's voice was not big or small, and it happened to reach the ears of everyone present.

At the moment when the incense was lit, about 20 people moved to the right.

The left side is still empty.

Lin Ze didn't feel strange about this at all, don't look at the fierce names of some people, but it is still very difficult for him to choose to be punished by the whole family.

After all, all the people present were from noble families, and they were all wearing shoes.

Retaining the title and the family's private property meant protecting their interests.

At present, the interests are behind, and the disaster of killing is behind, and it is very doubtful how much loyalty there is.

The incense was lit little by little, and when it was a third of the way through, nearly half of it stood on the right side.

Although there was no one on the left, there were many people in the middle of the crowd whose faces were extremely tangled.

Suddenly, a person suddenly pulled out his long sword, looked up to the sky and sighed: "It is disloyal to take refuge in Western Qin, and it is unfilial piety to involve the family. ”

Then the sword entered the body, the heart shattered, and he fell to the ground and died.

This person's actions seemed to remind others, and more than a dozen people pulled out their long swords one after another, and shouted: "Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, there is only one death." ”

The sound of falling to the ground sounded one after another.

Lin Ze looked at this scene with an indifferent expression.

It wasn't until the third group of people drew their swords that Lin Ze suddenly said, "Hu Hai is still alive." ”

The audience looked at Lin Ze in silence.

Lin Ze repeated: "Hu Hai is still alive and in a safe place at the moment. ”

The third group of more than 30 people who drew their swords glanced at the corpse that had fallen to the ground, and slowly inserted the sword back.

One of them took a step forward and asked, "Is this true of the Marquis of Shu?"

Lin Ze replied indifferently: "Is it necessary for Lone to lie to you? In the land of Guanzhong, there are more than a hundred nobles who are enough, so why should Lone do more?"

Suddenly, a person who had just inserted the sword back knelt on his knees and said, "The Li family pays a visit to the lord of the country." ”

The sound of "bang-la-la" sounded, standing in the middle, he knelt on the ground with a long time of indecision, and said in unison: "Meet the lord of the country." ”
