Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 171 Family Qimin, the golden elixir is in sight!
County Sheriff's Office
The night passed, and the sky in the morning was gray, and a downpour washed away the bloody smell of last night.

In the ya hall, the lights are bright.

Su Zhao was dressed in a black robe, sitting at the top, listening to the report from Zou Yi and others below.

"Since the time of Chen, the two families of Zhou and Jiang have been attacked by our county soldiers, and all the stubborn resisters have been killed. Zhou Guangji's second son, Zhou Huaiwen, and Zhou Jinwu, with a small number of family members, escaped from the secret road and disappeared. Please come down, I am now being held in the prison of the county government."

Su Zhao frowned and asked, "Zhou Guangji and the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yichun, have they ever been captured?"

"Zhou Guangji committed suicide in fear of crime. Jiang Yichun bound himself and asked to surrender. Now he and the sixth room of Jiang's family are locked in the big prison together, waiting for the emperor to deal with him." Zou Yi said in a hoarse voice, her tone hard to hide her excitement.

Although the sheriff hadn't slept all night and his eyes were still bloodshot, he didn't show the slightest sign of fatigue, instead he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

Thinking of how Zhou and Jiang's family who humiliated him became prisoners in just one day. It's really refreshing to think that revenge won't last overnight!

No wonder people often say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, but it is never too late for a villain to take revenge.

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "The major treason case of the Zhou family and the Jiang family must be settled. At the same time, the rebellion of the two families should be widely publicized. We must issue sea arrest documents to all counties and counties, and we must not let these rebellious officials and thieves flee to other countries."

In fact, Su Zhao felt that the chance of the second son of the Zhou family escaping should be very small, because the roads on one side were muddy, and the patrolling soldiers on the other side of the pass would search for them.

Su Zhao said again: "Qing Zou, there are two more things to do. One is to take a good inventory of the property, seal it up, and confiscate it into the treasury. It is necessary to strictly prevent treacherous officials from doing things to harm the public and private interests! The second is to register the child servants and make a good count. Population, and then clear the acres of land, and grant land as appropriate."

Zou Yi repeatedly promised to say yes.

When Su Zhao said this, he told Peng Ji, "Has the Imperial Army guarding Gu Zhi's car arrived yet?"

"Go back to your majesty, I'll be there in the afternoon." Peng Ji said, clasping his fists.

"Let the Imperial Army go to Zhou's and Jiang's houses with the county's meritorious officials to count their belongings. Anyone who dares to stretch out their hands will be punished on the spot." Su Zhao said coldly.

Whenever the house is ransacked, there will be some yamen servants and subordinates who will take the opportunity to make a fortune and bully the prisoner's female family. In Su Zhao's eyes, this is absolutely intolerable.

Su Zhao suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Chun Yushuo, and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers who broke Zhou and Jiang's family last night, how did I hear that looting and adultery have occurred?"

Chunyu Shuo's face was a bit ugly, and he cupped his hands and said, "There was a village chief who led his soldiers to harass the women's family members, but they have been beheaded and their heads hung at the gate of the camp. All the troops are respectful now."

Su Zhao nodded and said: "This kind of evil behavior must not be tolerated. Of course, the soldiers who fought to the death last night should also be well compensated. The soldiers who participated in the battle will be rewarded with wine, meat, and money. Draw up a list of meritorious deeds."

The army in this era is like this, especially if they break into the manor and see the wealth of Zhou and Jiang's family, if Su Zhao doesn't give some rewards, it will inevitably lead to a harsh and ungrateful voice from the people, which will not help to win the hearts of the soldiers.

"How about the other companies? Are there any changes?" Su Zhao asked again.

Chun Yushuo said: "Two small families that are related to the Jiang family are rebellious, and there is another family that takes care of the fleeing Jiang family members. After their deeds were revealed, they gathered a crowd to rebel, and they were all captured."

Su Zhao said coldly: "These lawless people must be severely punished!"

After that, Su Zhao issued a few more fates. In short, it was all kinds of aftermath matters. Su Zhao was required to make up his mind about the crimes of Zhou and Jiang's family.

After all, the eighth house of the Zhou family, the sixth house of the Jiang family, there are thousands of members of the Guang clan and female family members, and almost all of them are imprisoned in prison cells, waiting to be dealt with, so they can't all be executed.

Some were executed, and some were punished with hard labor.

But at this moment, with the spread of the news that Zhou and Jiang's rebellion was suppressed by the officers and soldiers, all the families of the prefects in the entire Fengle County were terrified, and those who inquired about the news could be described as undercurrents.

In the back of the county government office, in the study.

Sensing the movement of the approaching person, Su Zhao raised his head and asked with a smile, "Thank you fellow Taoist, have the Fan brothers and sisters been caught?"

At this time, Xie Cang and An An entered the study one after another.

"Your Majesty, let Fan Tai escape." Xie Cang's face was ugly, and he said, "Fan Tai has a spirit treasure that can be sacrificed to the void, I can't stop him, let him escape through the air, but his sister He was captured alive."

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Perhaps he should not die, so let's do it first, thank you fellow daoist, you can continue to pay attention to the movement of Haoyang School recently."

Xie Cang nodded, bid farewell and left.

An An walked to Su Zhao's side, and said with a smile: "Then Fan Xiao was arrested, and Fan Tai only escaped with his own body. The result is not bad, so don't worry about it."

The silver-haired girl said, walked behind her, and gently rubbed Su Zhao's shoulder.

Su Zhaodao: "I'm worried that Haoyangzong, especially Taoist Jinyang, won't let it go."

If it really came then, he could only ask Taibai Jianjun to make a move.

An An put her arms around Su Zhao's neck, blinked her sapphire eyes, and said with a grin: "The two of them, I've locked them up now, and I'll show you something interesting tonight."

Su Zhao frowned, and said suspiciously: "What tricks are you doing? Don't mess around, the two of them are bargaining chips for negotiating with Haoyangzong."

In fact, Su Zhao already had some countermeasures for Hao Yangzong. It was nothing more than suppressing the prestige first, and then taking Zheng Yuner and Fan Xiao as hostages. Through negotiations, the struggle with Zheng Guo was limited to a certain level.

Otherwise, why would he focus on capturing the Fan brothers and sisters alive.

"Don't worry, don't mess around, it's not bad to play." An An's crystal clear eyes flashed a playful color, and there was a treacherous smile on the baby's face.

The candlelight shone on the silver-haired girl, projecting her petite and lovely figure on the window screen. I don't know if it was the shadow of the sycamore tree above the window screen, shining on the head of the gnat, like the two horns of a devil.

As time went by, in the afternoon, the small officials sent by Zou Yi to count the property and fields of Zhou and Jiang's two manors came to report one after another.

Su Zhao lowered his eyes to look at the document, and felt a sense of hunting and murder boiling in his chest.

"There are as many as 10 servants and servants in the two families, plus the tenant farmers and family members of the old and the young, the population is 30 to [-], it's outrageous!" Su Zhao felt that the thin sheets of paper in his hand were as heavy as a thousand pounds. , almost made him feel depressed and breathless.

"Who is the king of a country?" Su Zhao's face was frosty, and he said in a cold voice: "The country is as rich as the enemy, and it is the people's fat and the people's anointment!"

Even though he was prepared in his heart, Su Zhao still felt terrified when he saw the money and population gathered together.

Compared with Zong Bo Su Mao before, it is even better!

The two fertile lands are even scattered in Yangping and Xiuwen counties, and even Wuzhi, which is farther away, have bought land properties. The fertile lands add up to [-] hectares. This number makes Su Zhao murderous.

"Don't say that these few families conspired to rebel, even if they didn't conspire to rebel, Gu couldn't tolerate them!" Su Zhao's heart was full of killing intent, and he really wanted to order the other six families to be wiped out as well.

"Bear with them for a while longer, wait for the embankment to be built, and deal with them together!"

In fact, this is also the irresponsibility of the former county guard. Originally, this kind of county is powerful and powerful, so it should be harvested regularly.

Of course, to extend it one step further, it is Su Zhao's father in this life, the former monarch of Su, and Yihou's soft temper, which made these people rule the roost according to the counties.

Su Zhao then looked down at the gold, silver, silk, grain and fodder. The gold, silver and jewels are countless, and many of them are still stored in the cellar. There are dozens of shops and artisan workshops.

Seeing the end, Su Zhao almost felt a little numb.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is more than enough to support Su's three-year-old tax.

"Ten years of gathering is not as good as looting once." Su Zhao laughed at himself, his eyes were cold, "Of course this is someone else's ten-year gathering."

The savings of Zhou and Jiang's family for decades can be imagined.

Su Zhao's eyes were dim, and suddenly he felt something in his heart. He couldn't help separating his consciousness from his body, and looked at his spiritual luck, and saw that Qingyun, who was filled with auspicious aura and filled with white and red aura, suddenly expanded to one-tenth of the size, countless Dao of white and red air surged from the void.

Su Zhao felt his mind in a trance for a moment, and a joy of hearing the truth welled up in his heart, which almost made his eyes warm slightly, his heart trembled, and he couldn't hold on to himself.

"A population of 30 million, registered households and all people, will be included in the governance, and the golden core state may be achieved in one day!"

With this in mind, Su Zhao took a deep breath, picked up the writing brush at the side, and began to draw up orders.
