Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Chapter 295 Reversed?

"Boss, this move of yours is amazing!"

In the mansion, Zhou Ping looked at Zhou Zheng with admiration, admiring him from the bottom of his heart.

Xiangjun's autumn tax was a problem that the imperial court had not solved for three hundred years.

But in Zhou Zheng's hands, it took just a few months to solve it, so it's hard for people to admire it.

If the officials disobey, they will be beaten!

If the squire disobeys, he will be killed!

There are so many so-called conspiracy tracks and weighing pros and cons. In the face of absolute power, everything is a paper tiger.

With Zhou Zheng's previous methods of killing Ding Jiang and exterminating the Xu Hui clan, the entire autumn tax collection process is now much smoother than they imagined.

After all, most of the squires were waiting and watching at the beginning.

If it was really related to their vital interests, it might even destroy the nine tribes, how could they dare to resist?

The so-called mutual protection alliance is nothing more than a joke in Zhou Ping's eyes.

Zhou Zheng's flattery almost flattered Zhou Zheng to the sky, but there was no smile on Zhou Zheng's face.

On the contrary, Zhou Zheng's expression was extremely solemn.

Such an expression made the flattering Zhou Ping stop, with a suspicious look in his eyes. He obviously didn't understand why Zhou Zheng had such an expression when he should be happy.

"Don't you think it's a little scary that things went smoothly?"

Zhou Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Ping and asked in a deep voice.

"It goes well, isn't it a good thing?"

Zhou Ping also vaguely noticed something was wrong, but he really couldn't figure out why this was not a good thing! ?

As long as Zhou Zheng completes the autumn tax collection work in Xiangjun this time that the imperial court has not completed for three hundred years, it will be a great achievement.

At that time, neither the emperor nor the prince nor the civil and military officials of the court had anything to say.

Zhou Zheng's abilities and methods can also be further recognized.

This is simply a great thing!

"There has been no movement from the five major families in Xiang County."

"Those powerful squires fully cooperated just because they killed a Xu family member?"

"Have you forgotten that the imperial court lost tens of thousands of troops in Xiang County?"

"Have you forgotten that Xiangjun almost overturned the history of the imperial court!?"

"So, this kind of calmness is not simple."

Shaking his head, if the wealthy gentry and landowners in Xiang County were just such people who bullied the weak and feared the strong, they would not have been at odds with the imperial court over the autumn tax for hundreds of years.

Even if officials colluded with them, they would not be as arrogant as they were in the past.

Zhou Zheng's analysis made Zhou Ping frown, and the excitement in his eyes gradually dissipated.

A trace of uneasiness began to rise in his heart.

"Prince Prince!"

At this moment, Ji Gu's voice came from far away.

Then he saw Ji Gu's figure, flying towards him like an arrow.

This hurried and panicked look made Zhou Zheng's pupils suddenly shrink.

problem occurs! ?

Ji Gu's panic made Zhou Zheng feel uneasy.

"Prince, please report that the powerful squires have rebelled!"

Without enough time to take a breath, Ji Gu knelt in front of Zhou Zheng with a look of fear on his face.

Inverted! ?

Just two words are enough to express the huge weight contained in it.

Even Zhou Ping, who had always been bold and courageous, became panicked at a speed that was visible to the naked eye at this time.

Inverted! ?

In Dazhou, anytime it involves rebellion, it is an absolutely shocking event.

At that time, not only the court would be shaken, but the whole world would be shaken!

Why is this happening at this time?

"How can it be?!"

"Why do they have so much courage!?"

"Why is there no movement now!?"

Zhou Ping took a deep breath to suppress the panic in his heart, but the trembling in his words betrayed Zhou Ping's inner emotional changes at this time.

"The five major families have begun to secretly gather strength."

"The major gentry and landlords in the eighteen counties and seventy-two cities have also begun to make overall arrangements."

"For up to a month, Xiangjun's power will be mobilized."

Swallowing his saliva, Ji Gu is the person in charge of Jin Chan Auction in Xiang County. Although there is not much business here, he can accurately collect information from various places.

The actions of the major squire and landlords in Xiang County are very covert, and even local officials cannot detect and feel them.

But after Ji Gu obtained the news of major families in seventy-two cities in eighteen counties, the result of sorting it out made him break out in a cold sweat!

Because the last time the powerful gentry in 72 cities and 18 counties made such a move was a hundred years ago!

Therefore, Ji Gu came to the conclusion that Xiangjun was really going to change drastically this time!

"Asshole, how can you be sure they are rebelling!?"

"Without absolute evidence, do you think you are guilty of spreading rumors like this?!"

After Zhou Ping heard Ji Gu's explanation, he roared at Ji Gu viciously before Zhou Zheng could say anything.

Damn it, I’ve been working on it for a long time and it’s just speculation!

It was really almost scary to death!

"Sir, the powerful country squires are now cooperating with the officials, just to paralyze everyone."

"Once they complete the integration of their forces, they will be able to fight even if they face the imperial court's 100,000-strong army!"

"As long as those powerful squires are willing, they can even control the entire Xiang County in a very short period of time!"

Ji Gu gritted his teeth. He was very aware of the powerful power of these squires.

They may seem scattered, but once they come together, it becomes a big deal.

Even the court must face it!

"The most important thing is that we are now in Xiang County and we are weak. Once the other party makes any move, they will be the first to attack us."

This is what Ji Gu is most worried about.

When Zhou Ping heard this, his heart sank.

After all, he doesn't care about other things, but when it comes to his own life and death, he has to pay attention to it.

Then he quickly turned his attention to Zhou Zheng.

Obviously such a big thing is no longer within his control.

"Your Highness!"

Just when Zhou Zheng frowned, Gong Tan also hurried over.

Gong Tan, who had always been steady, had an expression on his face that shattered Zhou Ping's last hope.

He knew that Gong Tan would probably bring even worse news!

"whats the matter?"

Looking up at Gong Tan, Zhou Zheng told her not to worry for the time being.

"Your Highness, Yancheng is in danger!"
