Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 406
As night fell, the wind and snow enveloped the land again. However, Yixiangju in Dangjun County was full of people and noisy.

The big red lantern in front of the entrance of the restaurant swayed with the wind, and the bright lights cast several shadows on the snow.

Not far away, exquisitely crafted carriages were parked by the side of the road, and servants and servants were waiting by the side of the road, looking at a group of imperial guards not far away, with fear in their eyes.

Second floor
Su Zhao and Wangkang, Liang, Che, Shen, Wang and other family heads of the Dangjun County gathered at a table, full of joy.

Originally, the Kang family planned to entertain Su Zhao at the Kang Family Manor, but Su Zhao sent someone to decline, so they booked the best restaurant in Dang County to entertain Su Zhao.

The Patriarch of the Kang family looked at the young man with an indifferent face sitting in the main seat, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. Such a young man who is less than [-] years old is already the king of a country, he is really born noble.

Putting away these thoughts, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty comes to Dang County, I wait for the rain after a long drought..."

Su Zhao frowned, displeased with his flattery, and his attitude turned cold, "Mr. Kang, let's avoid these polite words. Tell me, why do you want to see Yu Gu?"

He is too lazy to make false claims with these county princes. Although the Dou family is unwilling to confess to these county princes' families out of family considerations, one of the county princes here is counted as one, and it has something to do with the Dou family's rebellion. .

Back then, it was the Dou family who obstructed Yan Chang and gathered the people to besiege the mastermind, but it is hard to say that the Kang, Liang, Shen, and Wang families did not participate in it.

Lu Chen has been unable to pry Dou Ci's mouth open, but he has asked An to assist him in the afternoon.

Well, I promised not to let him listen to my heart...

There is no way, even if they are immortals, they can't peek into the secrets of people's hearts like the spirit of the white tiger.

"It's only a matter of time before the truth comes to light. Once the reverse case is implicated, then we can uproot the lawless Qiangzong Hao in the Yurou Township. It just depends on whether you know the current affairs."

According to the information collected by a part of the force of the Jing Chong Division, these prefectures are powerful, and their family assets and wealth accumulation are almost all original sins.

And three days ago, he had dispatched county soldiers from various counties to gather in Dang County, just in case the dog jumped the wall in a hurry.

Keenly aware of the awe-inspiring attitude of the young prince opposite, the face of the head of the Kang family changed a few times, he forced himself to calm down, and said with a smile: "My lord, the old man just admires the Zhuo Lun demeanor of the lord, but the lord takes care of everything. On the side of Yuan Keng, I finally saw the real dragon today. Speaking of it, if there is no king, the Yanshan bandits raged in Dang County at the beginning of the year, disturbing the restlessness of the place, and the old man's family was also disturbed by it, thanks to the king leading the army to calm down. "

"Just yesterday, this old man heard that your majesty is now staying in the yamen of Dang County. Dare to speak extravagantly and grandly, but it is also spacious and unique, please don't despise the humble..."

Su Zhao waved his hand and said, "No need, Gu recently stayed at the Dangjun county office and slept peacefully, but he is the head of the Kang family. There are few poor people whose houses are crushed by snow, and the wind blows in, and they are suffering from the cold, so the head of the Kang family might as well bring these people into an idle garden and resettle them properly, how about that?"

As Su Zhao said, he stared closely at the head of the Kang family with a pair of bright eyes.

The Patriarch of the Kang family panicked, lowered his head and coughed heavily a few times, a sneering smile appeared on his old face, Gu Zuo said to him: "Your Majesty is joking."

"Joke?" Su Zhao put the teacup in his hand heavily on top of the table, and heard a "bang". In the original box, Dangjun County Wang, who had a flattering smile on his face and kept echoing, was all in his mind. Trembling, his face became terrified.

"In today's Dang County, the rich have thousands of mansions, but the poor have no place to stand. This heavy snow, traveling all the way alone, found that many people died of cold and hunger on the street. , It's simply appalling!"

It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and he has swept the streets and towns of Dangjun with his spiritual sense, and he has discovered that many people are naked, starved to death.

Although the governor of Dang County has been sent to rescue the disaster, there are still some places that cannot be supported.

This is not to say that the efficiency of the government is low, but that many people in Dang County originally had no land left, were extremely poor, and lived in houses that had been in disrepair for years.

The people live in poverty, how can they not live endlessly like bandits and thieves?

As far as he knows, all of this is related to the fact that the originally not too much land in Dang County was occupied by several county officials, which made many people's livelihood difficult.

The original sin of the landlord does not need much description.

The bamboos of the Nanshan Mountains are filled with endless crimes, and the waves of the East China Sea are broken, and the evils are endless.

The face of the Patriarch of the Kang family changed, and he hurriedly said: "Marquis Su, the victims in the city were hit by the Xuesheng Disaster, and the old man has also heard and seen it. He is anxious. He has been cooking rice porridge for the past few days and giving it to the people widely. Su Hou, the ancestor of this old man was also an official and received great kindness from the Su Yi family, so how can he be the kind of rich and heartless people who would die without saving?"

"Yes, I have also set up a porridge shed in the past few days to help the people affected by the disaster."

The patriarchs of the surrounding counties also complained bitterly.

Su Zhaodao: "Do you think these methods can make up for the situation in Dang County? How many people have no land left and their livelihoods are difficult, but they are invaded by you here. You have suffered from the state's grace, but you can send Yan Chang here alone to preside over the new policy. , you wait for the positive and the negative, and obstruct in every possible way, but what is the meaning?"

This merciless reprimand almost uncovered the most superficial, leading to silence in the huge private room, looking at each other in surprise.

That is to say, the king of a country has the power to turn the table at any time. If it is another minister, it is not appropriate to say such blunt words.

The Patriarch of the Kang family faltered and said: "Old man..."

Su Zhao said in a cold voice: "I will not hide it from you, Dang County's new policy is imperative. Clear up the land and mu, and strictly investigate hidden households. This is the general trend! No one can stop it!"

Of course, he hopes to catch all these Dangjun prefects, but he has to say that the clan of that generation is long, the tree has deep roots, and the connections are very wide. some resistance.

As for the rebound?Even if there is, it is limited.

To put it bluntly, many of the fiefdoms in the 53 counties of the seven counties of the Su State were awarded by his family, Su Yi, who was conferred by the imperial family of Ji Zhou. From the perspective of legal rights, he has the Su Yi family, who is the owner of this land !

The Patriarch of the Kang family was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "Marquis Su, all the mu and hectares owned by my Kang family have been accumulated by the ancestors of the past generations. Suhou will take it away with a word, I am afraid that the people of the world will not accept it!"

Now, the head of the Kang family understands that the King of Su's determination to the New Deal cannot be shaken, and there is no room for negotiation on the matter of Qingzhang's land.

As soon as this remark came out, the originally silent box suddenly became noisy and murmured.

This Marquis Su wants to carry out the New Deal, which is obviously to copy their homes!Kill them!

"Not to mention, in the whole world, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the ministers of the king? The real owner of this hectare and acre is I, the Su Yi family! Let's talk about your Kang family, you dare to guarantee that the accumulation of today's The huge wealth of the family, there is no robbery, no bullying, no fish and meat village?" Seeing that he and others are ignorant of current affairs, Su Zhao sneered, and said: "I need to report the recent crimes of your Kang family one by one. Come out? Someone, present the Kang family's criminal evidence collected!"

Immediately, Peng Ji, General of the Forbidden Army, handed over a stack of books.

Seeing this scene, the Patriarch of the Kang family turned pale, and his heart was shaken. At this moment, he only had one thought. Isn't he afraid that the whole county will rebel if Su Hou acts so recklessly?

He originally thought that the young man in front of him did not get involved wantonly after investigating Dou's family. He didn't seem to want to expand the case.

Peng Jilang said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, just now the county yamen punished Cao to report that the treason case of the Dou family has been found out, and the heads of the Kang, Shen and Wang families are involved in the case."

"This is a false accusation, a bloody spout!" The Patriarch of the Kang family's complexion changed drastically, and he lost his voice.
