Chapter 260 Let's see who gets killed
Chapter 260: See who will die
Author: Moon Earth Moon Earth
Qushui County is a large county, with more than ten major gentry families with more than ten acres of land, including the Peng family, with a land yield of as many as 100,000 acres.
The Peng family's ancestors had a third-rank official, but in this generation, there was only a sixth-rank official in the court.
However, the Peng family has been operating in Qushui County for generations and has been around for a hundred years. It is the most powerful family in the area and has accumulated a lot of wealth and connections.
In addition to these large households, there are countless small landlords with thousands of acres of family members, and land annexation is extremely serious.
This also led to the fact that the people of Qushui County had no land to plant. As long as they encountered a little natural disaster, they would have no food to eat, so a large area of them starved to death and many refugees were also present.
Therefore, the refugees here hated these wealthy families and landlords. The previous rebels had killed more than a dozen landlords, distributed their food and land to their subordinates.
However, a large family like the Peng family hired many experts in the martial arts world to protect the hospital, and the rebels failed to succeed in a short period of time.
Of course, there were also some who took the initiative to hand over the food to please the rebels. These big families survived, but they were also terrified.
Therefore, when they learned that someone had come to the court and the Empress personally brought people to suppress the bandits, they were shocked and felt a sense of salvation.
Of course, it is more of a doubt, why did it come so quickly!
They were so confused that they didn't see the Golden Dragon spacecraft.
These people did not live in the old Huangguan and knew that they had changed their emperor, but they just heard the news yesterday that King Ning ascended the throne ten days ago.
There were people in the court who knew King Ning, so they judged that the new emperor should find a way to quell the rebellion, but they never expected that today would be there, and it was still midnight!
Oh, be good, this efficiency is amazing!
Could it be that the new emperor was ready to quell the rebellion before he ascended the throne?
They didn't feel much joy, but were very nervous. After all, they didn't have much clean hands.
Before being summoned by the queen, they were still thinking about how to cry or take money to honor the queen and happily coax the queen away.
However, when they really saw the queen, they realized how naive their thoughts were!
Because the first thing the queen said when she saw them was
"If you want to survive, take the initiative to hand over 90% of the land. Otherwise, I will not mind proclaiming to the outside world that you all died at the hands of the rebels."
"Empress, even if you are the queen, you cannot confiscate our property like this. We are not rebels, we are victims!"
"Yes! In this way, where is the national law? The Empress is not afraid of the news coming out, which will make the gentry in the world feel disappointed!"
"Empress, you are a woman after all. You can't make a big mistake just because you are eager to provide disaster relief!"
...
These heads of the family immediately opposed it fiercely, and spoke fiercely, but did not forget to threaten and mock Gu Xi.
They are considered powerful people in the area and are used to being local tyrants, so how could they really take Gu Xi seriously?
What's more, they are not informed, and they don't know Gu Xi's many methods and many tough backstages who protect their shortcomings.
"Empress, these are all thorns. Why not let me talk to them?" Prince An said coldly.
"You don't need you. You have other things to do." Gu Xi shook her head, ignored the angry people, and rushed to the imperial guards beside her,
"Take them to the spaceship, find the heads of those aristocratic families, and ask them to come forward and talk to these people. If you still don't want to cooperate, kill them."
Everyone was shocked and their whole body became cold, but they felt that the young and beautiful queen in front of them was deliberately scaring them.
Therefore, they still held their heads high and said that they would never surrender.
The Imperial Guards looked at them like fools, urging them to follow them without hesitation.
Humph, if you dare not listen to the Queen, you will be scared to death in a while!
-
As the largest clan of Qushui County, the Peng family was naturally regarded as the leader by others.
These people followed the guards and looked at each other, saying that they would act according to the Peng family's eyes for a while, holding each other tightly, and not giving everyone on the queen a chance to defeat them.
This is their usual tactics to deal with the imperial government!
As long as they are united enough, the officials will have no choice but to be helpless because they dare not offend them to death.
However, these little thoughts were almost scared when they saw the Golden Dragon spacecraft.
"This, is this a golden dragon? How could there be a golden dragon?!" The head of the Peng family slashed and the person trembled.
No one else was much better, and his eyes were about to pop out.
"Haha, this is the Queen's Golden Dragon Spaceship, please come and ask everyone." The Imperial Guard sneered.
The head of the Peng family and others,...
They don't understand, they are afraid.
Why do things like the Golden Dragon Spaceship belong to the Queen and why do they exist in this world?
This is not right!
But seeing the imperial guards as a matter of course and proud, the head of the Peng family and others were silent again.
So, they are wrong, not this world?!
When they kicked deeper and shallower, they got up the ladder in a dizzy way, and after entering the spaceship, they became even worse.
They even felt that they were no longer awake and hallucinations appeared in front of them.
Everything in front of them is beyond their inherent perception!
Then, they were taken to Wang Xie and other heads of the family with a confused look on their faces.
Compared with these top families that have survived for hundreds of years, the Peng family and others are not enough to see them, and they are not qualified to say nouveau riche.
Therefore, when we learned that the other party was the head of the top family, the head of the Peng family and others were very respectful, which was awe from the bottom of our hearts.
Moreover, the head of the Peng family is confident that the other party is on the same boat as him, and the interests chain are definitely on their side and oppose the queen's division of land!
However, in fact...
"You group of short-sighted people have only that little field in their eyes. My current goal is the stars and the sea, and I am ashamed to be with you!"
The head of the Wang family said to the head of the Peng family and others with impatient expressions.
"I will advise you one thing, the Empress wants ninety percent of the land, and quickly serve it happily, and thank the Empress sincerely and sincerely.
OK, go quickly, don’t delay me from playing games, no, it’s cultivation!”
"You look at this spaceship, look at this facility, what is the use of guarding that little field, and pleasing the Queen is the key!
Let the Empress be happy, and in the future, the things that the Empress reveals from the cracks of her fingers will benefit you endlessly."
This is what the head of the Xie family advised them.
"My Xiao family has decided to take the initiative to hand over 80% of the family's land!"
"Haha, Brother Xiao, you only handed in 80% of the money, and our Li family decided to handed in 90%!"
"Our Liu family relies on shops, just keep some of the land, and hand in 95% of the money!!"
Xie Xiaoliu and other heads couldn't help but look at each other, with a sense of ruthlessness in their eyes.
Come on, roll it, see who rolls it to death!
The head of the Peng family and others,...
Chapter completed!
