Chapter 869 Chapter 869: It seems that they all died in vain [ask for a monthly ticket]
The old man stroked his gray beard, his eyelids drooped, his shoulders slumped, and he bowed his head thinking about something: "Brother, looking at the current situation, those students of yours are uneasy and kind."
The anger of the old man with the stick just got off came up again.
But this time it was not because of Shen Tang or Lin Feng, but because of a few students who asked him to come out and preside over the overall situation. Before he could think about whether the student had plotted against the Lin family, he heard his great-granddaughter say: "There is no young man in the family, and the great-grandfather is old. It seems that the lord did not write a document to requisition. Why did the Lin family get involved in this turmoil?" For the sake of Lin's safety, I implore my great-grandfather to confess."
The two brothers looked at each other and remained silent.
They looked at Lin Feng's posture with his elbows outside, and they knew that they couldn't answer this question. The old man with the stick didn't want to start, so the old man spoke first. The old man seemed a little helpless: "Jiaojiao, when my great-uncle asked you before, you really think that your lord is worth following. Now I want to ask you, even if she wants to overthrow the whole family, do you still follow her?"
Lin risked being caught off guard by this question.
This question is somewhat embarrassing and too sensitive.
She didn't answer directly: "Why did the great-uncle say that?"
The old man thought that Lin Feng was avoiding the important and neglecting the minor, and was a little annoyed: "Great-uncle asked you, did your lord take office as He Yin to uproot the local forces? Confiscate the family and exterminate the family?"
Lin Feng nodded: "It's true, but it's because—"
The old man interrupted her forcefully: "Then let me ask you again, after your master transferred Longwu County, did you kill the big family in Longwu County that has been in business for many years? Ten to nine times?"
Lin Feng still nodded: "It is true."
This time, there was no rush to explain.
She had a hunch that the questioning of great-uncle was not over yet.
The old man asked the third question: "After your lord entered Sibao County, did you confiscate the land under the name of the aristocratic family in the territory?"
After the great-uncle finished asking, Lin Feng waited for a few breaths.
She looked into the eyes of the former man who did not lose her manly aura, and asked softly and politely: "Well, great-uncle has finished asking all the questions?"
The plain and simple words sounded strange to the old man, even though Lin Feng himself had no such intention.
Want to get angry, but Lin Feng in front of him is not only their junior, but also a member of Shen Youli's tent, and also the main speaker in charge of Lin's actions. Get angry at her, and the conflict can easily rise to an uncontrollable situation. The old man swallowed hard.
Expressionless: "Well, the question is over."
Lin Feng nodded obediently, and explained calmly: "During the Heyin period, the lord was poor and white. I hate that the local forces occupied most of the land in the territory, and the common people had no land to grow, and then concealed the number of people, which caused the financial difficulties of the Heyin government office. His subordinates are not concerned about human lives. , He Yin and the people have nothing to do with life, and their crimes are too numerous to record. After the lord took office, they deceived the lord when he was young at that time, trying to control the government office to make him empty. Great-uncle, they don't deserve to die? They crossed the line first, and the lord was cruel to clean them up."
She continued to take inventory slowly: "There is nothing to say about the things in Longwu County. The local big clan colluded with Shiwu inside and outside for profit, secretly subsidized food, grass and supplies, and tacitly allowed Shiwu horse bandits to plunder and burn in the territory. , I don’t know how many innocent people were killed. This alone is enough for the three tribes of the barbarians, and there is no need to mention other things such as occupying the good land of the common people, murdering people for money, and so on. They copied their homes, exterminated their clans, and slaughtered everyone. The blessings of this generation are well deserved."
As for things in Sibao County...
Lin Feng wanted to avenge his lord, and said something fair: "After the lord conquered Qiu Wenyan, he took control of Sibao County, and not long after he led his troops to participate in the Dragon Slaying Bureau. The things that the great-uncle said were all handled by the Lord Qi. You and the elders need to know that Sibao County was riddled with holes and ruins after several wars. In the past, the big clans moved and fled, leaving only a few old slaves to guard them. Most of the old slaves also disappeared during the war. What's the matter, is the land in Sibao County still going to be chaste for those big clans?"
The two elders listened to the first two paragraphs with a serious face, until the last sentence of the third paragraph turned around, and the two elders almost choked on their saliva, and they all had strange expressions.
The old man holding the stick couldn't hold back even more, and reprimanded loudly: "Jiao Jiao, you have a daughter, how can you be so outspoken?"
Lin Feng blinked, his eyes were a little playful.
"Great-grandfather, Jiaojiao will reach Ji in a few months." She can get married at this age, and she is not a boudoir daughter who lives in the inner house and knows nothing about the world. Words are not outspoken."
The expressions of the staff-wielding old man and the old man twisted for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, he secretly told himself that the Lin Feng in front of him was not the beauty he was back then, and the two should not be confused. It took a long time to complete the psychological construction, and the old man said earnestly: "Indeed, those insects did not die unjustly, and your lord's countermeasures are also reasonable, but Jiaojiao, have you ever thought about it—how many butts are there in this world? Clean?"
"First He Yin, then Long Wu, and then the Four Treasures. The reasons for sending troops are similar. Those with dirty buttocks count as one, and they can still be killed if they pull out the same banner!" The old man almost gritted his teeth. Spit out these words, "Shen Youli's actions, why don't you make people—everyone feel in danger?"
Lin Feng's gentle expression finally changed, and he said angrily: "My lord never planned it like this! Wasn't the previous conquest a show of favor to each family? Due to the impact of the war, 60% of the government offices in Yan and Qianzhou have stagnated and lacked manpower. Recruiting talents! They themselves refused! Now they have wronged the lord? These people are not enough to beat back the lord, and spread rumors about the lord everywhere, saying that her male soul was born into a female fetus. She recruits talented people to fill the harem, but the conquest is not enough. My lord, she is an upright woman, and the families have not recognized her as a woman so far, what is the intention?"
"Great-grandfather, great-uncle, you haven't seen the lord, haven't you seen the grandson? You watched the grandson grow up from infancy! Could it be that the grandson is also the so-called evildoer who turned the soul of a man into a woman's womb? These big families , How arrogant and stupid!"
"It's such a great humiliation, it's not an exaggeration to lead troops to kill a river of blood! Now they are just asking them to take some ill-gotten gains, and both sides take a step back. What about them? Let’s keep fighting again!”
My own family was involved!
Didn't figure it out at first, but now I understand.
After the great-grandfather retired and returned to his hometown, he taught many students, most of whom were descendants of aristocratic families from local or other places. If you persuade your great-grandfather to come forward, you can use his banner to persuade other people to join, it is really a shame!
Lin Feng's heart was burning with anger, but his tone was still restrained.
She panted slightly, and didn't hear the second elder's response for a long time, worried that she was too angry to them, so she looked up.
Good news, the elders did not faint from anger.
Bad news, the second elder has a very strange expression.
At this time, the great-grandfather who had been silent all this time finally spoke up: "Jiaojiao, I have heard of those rumors you mentioned. It's just that the conquistadors are not successful, not because of these."
Lin Fengdao: "Of course this is not the whole reason."
Great-grandfather added: "Not the main reason either."
As long as the information is well-informed, everyone will know who is more powerful, Shen Tang or Wu Xian, and the two states of Yan and Qianzhou are basically in the hands of Shen Tang. The local aristocratic families can escape, but the land property and ancestral property cannot escape, and they will not leave easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
The great-grandfather continued: "Because your lord has a lot of criminal records, and there are few precedents for what you have done. Everyone's ancestral graves have been dug up. How can every family not be afraid of her killing the family? The land is the foundation of each family, and many of them have unclean backgrounds. Taking advantage of the war to hide the tenants, the financial deficit of the local government offices is caused by this. Your lord must attack this one!"
Lin Feng nodded: "This is natural!"
The fields are all in the hands of local snakes, and the lord has no land to share with the common people for cultivation. How to collect taxes to maintain the operation of a local government office? No matter how powerful the brave warriors are at opening up wasteland, it is impossible to "create something out of nothing". All the land that can be cultivated has been reclaimed, and the quantity is still not enough. The newly reclaimed fields are not fertile enough. Where can there be good harvests? Tian, the more the better.
What the ground snake swallowed, spit it out!
The great-grandfather said again: "According to the tacit agreement in the past, when a piece of land changed hands, each family will hand over a certain amount of land according to the situation in the territory. Generally, 70% of the land is guaranteed to the government, 30% to each family, and occasionally 40%, but it is rare. On the other hand, Your lord's performance in Heyin, Longwu, Sibao and other places obviously did not abide by this tacit agreement. She wants 100%, how can the families not be afraid?"
The aristocratic family is not really afraid of death.
People are willing to spit out the land and tenants in exchange for peace, but this ratio needs to be negotiated and compromised by each other.
Plus she beats and backstabs her allies again...
Lin Feng explained: "There is no backstab."
Great-grandfather pursed his lips: "So the beating is real."
Lin Feng: "..."
"Your lord's various behaviors, once she gets a firm foothold, will the butcher's knife really not come down? She hasn't said anything so far, and all the families have refused to expropriate, just to force her to express her position. It's death anyway, it's better try."
As for that rumor...
Rumors have longer legs than the truth.
The great-grandfather said: "She has no children now. If the two sides really reach a tacit agreement, each family will not be stingy to send someone to her. There is a little relationship between marriages, and I feel more at ease. In case some struggle makes your lord give birth to the same bloodline ..."
Who can refuse a good thing with low risk and high return?
They don't refuse Shen Jun's lust, as long as it doesn't get to the heirs or principals of the various families, other things can be discussed.
Lin Feng: "..."
The great-grandfather looked at Lin Feng and sighed: "But her attitude is very firm, and she refuses to back down even half a step... Those with clean hands and feet and small doors are naturally willing to spend money to eliminate disasters. They eat fields and hide people , Not much. Compared with the lives of the whole family, it is possible to give up by biting one's teeth. When she is liquidated in the future, seeing that she is wise, she will not kill them all."
Lin Feng: "..."
Great-grandfather continued to sigh: "But other sects are different. There are many clansmen, and the expenses are also high. If they are cleared, there will be no decent clan fields left, and the whole clan will starve to death."
Pushed to a desperate situation, you will die anyway, so you might as well give it a go!
Lin Feng: "..."
So there are the Dabang faction and the beauty faction?
Great-grandfather smiled wryly and shook his head: "After all, it is your lord who is planning to go deeper, and she is watching the actions of all the families, and she just waits to catch the net at the end. I am afraid that every family will not be able to sleep at night when it happened last night."
Worse than death is counting your own death.
"After all, it was just a game of chess!"
Lin Feng finally recovered and tried to join the chat.
"Great-grandfather, great-uncle, Jiao Jiao did not lie."
Elder: "..."
"My lord really didn't know why the various families failed to enlist, and she was furious when she accidentally learned the reason for the rejection from a family member, but she was unwilling to endure the anger, so she beat up the various families in the name of donating money, and cleaned them up. Stigma. I was worried about side effects, so I monitored the movements of each family, and if there was something wrong, I took the opportunity to attack." The original words of the lord were to tear up all the faces if you were shameless!
By the way, raise the amount of rip-off!
Beat the dishonest family, and make another blackmail by the way!
Elder: "..."
The three of them looked at each other in the hall.
It took a long time for the old man with the stick to hold back a sentence: "Really?"
Lin Fengdao: "How could grandson lie to you?"
The old man took the lead to break the defense, and his voice suddenly raised: "No one in your lord's account knows, knows this tacit understanding?"
Because the state regime changes too fast, the last wave of turmoil is often followed by the next wave. In addition, the aristocratic family is more capable than the royal family, and the land handed over from the aristocratic family will soon come back. It took a long time to form this kind of tacit understanding, and each took a step back.
"Others don't know, but the teacher did not mention it. He was just surprised that each family would refuse to enlist because of the absurd rumors spread by Tao Shenyu's old department..." The teacher Chu Yao's original words were [When did the current aristocratic family become so reserved] .
Implications—
The aristocratic family actually talked about chastity?
The protagonist is even more straightforward: [The Elephant Girl House, which was open the day before, joined the ranks of anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities the next day. 】
"The other conspirators don't know?"
Lin Feng thought it over and said: "Most of you gentlemen are from poor backgrounds, and occasionally have aristocratic families, but they are not the masters of the clan, and the rest are from other places. It is normal to be unclear about this land, especially this kind of tacit understanding that is kept secret. I don't know."
The old man's expression twisted for a moment.
This kind of perfectionism that damages the appearance of the family, of course, few people know about it, even if it spreads to the outside world, it will only be that these families understand the righteousness! In other words, what Lin Feng said is true—
In an instant, he thought of several sects that might "rather break the jade than make it whole". Didn't they die in vain?
Lin Feng also thought of this layer.
The face added a bit of embarrassment.
Immediately, he turned serious again: "No matter what, it's true that everyone is discussing the conspiracy. They don't know the fun, and they don't think they died unjustly."
At best, death is worthless.
Besides, the families surrounded last night were all leaders.
They rushed to the front, naturally because their own interests were the most damaged, and their buttocks were the most dirty. If it was at the time of Heyin Longwu, they would all be the objects of the lord's desire. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many families involved this time, the lord would not just be extorting money.
Knock on the head directly, split into two.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Besides, each family wants to keep 30%, and they have a big appetite."
No, it's too big!
