Chapter 115 Bullying others
Three days later.
Hanzhong County Shoufu.
Hundreds of county magistrates, magistrates, landlords, rich merchants, wealthy households, and nobles from various counties in Hanzhong gathered together.
Many people present were at a loss for the sudden invitation from the Sheriff of Hanzhong today.
Especially when they arrived, they were even more puzzled when they saw that there were so many invited landlords and nobles like themselves.
Everyone waited for a cup of tea.
Chen Jinghui finally arrived after a long time.
"We'll see Governor Chen."
Chen Jinghui is after all the Hanzhong government, the highest official on the surface, so even the most powerful old nobles in Hanzhong County have given enough etiquette on the surface.
Chen Jinghui also saluted politely, and then said with a smile: "Everyone came from afar, it's because I have neglected you."
"Mr. Chen is polite."
Everyone was courteous, and then they saw an old man come out more and more, and asked, "I wonder if Governor Chen invited us to gather together today, is there anything important to announce?"
"Mr. He, don't worry. In fact, I didn't invite you today. Someone else invited you here today. This official is just spreading the word."
Chen Jinghui replied gently to the old man.
As soon as the words came out.
It was only then that everyone realized that although Chen Jinghui was standing in the main seat, he didn't sit down, but stood to one side, as if he was waiting for someone.
Noticing this, many people present were shocked.
Hanzhong County Governor's Mansion is still Chen Jinghui's territory. In today's world, how many people can be here to make Chen Jinghui even give up his own position?
While many people were thinking about it, Chen Jinghui, who was next to the main seat, seemed to have seen something, suddenly bowed and lowered his head, and bowed to the side with his hands clasped.
"grown ups!"
Chen Jinghui's voice also attracted everyone's attention.
Next second.
Everyone looked in the direction of Chen Jinghui's salute, and saw a tall and handsome young man wearing a simple plain robe, slowly walking out of the inner hall under the guard of three men and two women.
Seeing Chen Jinghui saluting such a young man turned out to be such a young man, the faces of most of the people below were stunned.
After all, in the current era of "no hair on the mouth, no work done".
Youth is often an antonym for 'power status'.
Only the few people standing at the front of the crowd seemed to think of something the moment they saw Mo Jun, and their pupils shrank suddenly.
Mr. Mo walked straight to the main seat and sat down, then looked at Chen Jinghui and asked, "Mr. Chen, are everyone here?"
Chen Jinghui saluted and said: "My lord, seven of them are now doing business in other places, and they couldn't come in time."
Mr. Mo nodded and said, "Since you can't come, let's forget about it! When the time comes, just give them a copy of the land deed!"
Chen Jinghui bowed and said, "I understand."
After the conversation with Chen Jinghui was over, a faint smile appeared on Mo Jun's face, and he spoke to everyone in front of him.
"I am very happy that you all agreed to my invitation today. Let me introduce myself, I, Mo Jun, was honored by the king and was named "Sheng Ping Jun"."
Mr. Mo's voice was very soft, but when it fell to the ears of the people below, it was no less than a thunderclap on the ground.
Who is Shengping Jun?
I'm afraid it is impossible for anyone in Hanzhong to not know.
After all, even if you don’t talk about the various deeds of Mo Jun during this period, just a little bit is enough for everyone present to remember the name of ‘Sheng Ping Jun’.
Because today's Hanzhong is the fiefdom of the "Sheng Pingjun" in front of him.
And it is still a real seal.
"I will pay my respects to Mr. Shengping."
When Mo Jun's voice fell, the expressions of the group of people below changed drastically, and they all fell to their knees.
"Get up!"
"Thank you Shengping Jun!"
Everyone lowered their heads and stood up respectfully.
These people don't have to be afraid of Chen Jinghui, after all, Chen Jinghui is just a sheriff with a little background, but not much.
But it is impossible for them not to be afraid of Mr. Mo, even the five most powerful old nobles in Hanzhong County.
Because the higher you stand, the more you know.
Many small landlords, small nobles may only know that Mo Jun is now the real monarch of Hanzhong County.
But they didn't know how Mo Jun got the real title.
However, the five old nobles at the top of Hanzhong County are very clear that this is not only because the Lord Shengping in front of him invented the so-called "new grain", 'Quyuanli', 'waterwheel'... · something like that.
It was his illustrious reputation after killing twenty-seven old nobles of the Chu state in three days in Nanjun, and killing Lao Ai and Lu Buwei one after another, that supported the seemingly young Shengping Jun in front of him, and now he is stable. s position.
But among the "Five Great Old Nobles" in Hanzhong, three of them are the remnants of the [Ba Kingdom] and [Shu Kingdom] that were destroyed by the Qin State before, and most of the forces are only rooted in Hanzhong.
Although the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.
But that also depends on what level of 'dragon' and what level of 'snake' it is.
obviously.
Mr. Mo’s head is definitely one of the few raptors next to the biggest black dragon in today’s state of Qin.
Mr. Mo's sudden appearance in Hanzhong was undoubtedly a big unexpected event. Almost everyone here has not yet figured out Mr. Mo's temperament, nor the purpose of Mr. Mo's trip.
Naturally, I was a little nervous.
But generally speaking, the faces of many people present are relatively calm. After all, in their opinion, since Mo Jun can spread the fetish of [the first generation of improved rice seeds] to the whole country.
Moreover, it is said that someone from Nanjun once built a living shrine for Mo Jun.
All in all.
It all shows that Mo Jun is definitely a 'good man' with immeasurable merit.
And good people are undoubtedly the best kind of people in this world to deal with.
Until the next moment.
Mr. Mo suddenly said: "Everyone has come from a long distance, and the journey is exhausting, so I will not be polite to you today."
"Today, I have only one purpose in inviting you to the Sheriff's Mansion, and that is to make a simple transaction with you."
As he spoke, Mo Jun waved his hand, and then he saw more than a dozen guards from the Sheriff's Mansion walking in with rolls of cloth that looked like a contract, and distributed a copy to everyone present.
At first, everyone was slightly puzzled by Mo Jun's words, but when they saw the content of the contract, everyone's expressions instantly became extremely ugly.
The content of the contract is very simple.
Generally speaking, it is roughly a sentence: "Mr. Mo will buy all the farmland of all the families present at the price of one mu of land."
The atmosphere in the Sheriff's Mansion suddenly became oppressive.
For a while.
I saw "He Yuan", the patriarch of the He clan, one of the "Five Great Old Nobles", come out, and asked with a gloomy face, "Is Mr. Shengping joking with us?"
Mr. Mo took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I never joke."
He Yuan heard the words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "So, Mr. Shengping intends to buy and sell by force, and use his power to bully us and other ordinary people?"
Mr. Mo put down his teacup, looked at He Yuan strangely, and said, "Yes! I am using my power to oppress you! Isn't my behavior obvious enough?"
"you······"
He Yuan was so angry that he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart any longer, and said solemnly: "Too much deception, Mr. Sheng Ping, I thought you were a person with immeasurable merits that would benefit the world, but I didn't expect that Mr. Sheng Ping would actually He is such a treacherous villain who oppresses kindness and bullies others."
"It's the old man who missed his eyes. What happened today, the old man will definitely report to you before going to the throne in the future."
"The old man wants to see if there are still laws and axioms in this great Qin Dynasty."
In these words, He Yuan spoke righteously and sternly, full of vigor.
If you don’t know his true nature, you may really think that the patriarch of the He clan in front of you is a dignified man from a famous family!
Mr. Mo stretched out his little finger, plucked his ears, and said casually: "So, Patriarch He disagrees with this gentleman's deal?"
He Yuan snorted coldly, and said decisively: "It's absolutely impossible. The old man wants to see, if the old man doesn't sign this contract, Lord Changping can help me..."
Zheng!
He Yuan didn't finish speaking.
Suddenly there was a crisp sword cry in the Sheriff's Mansion, followed by a flash of cold light, and the next second, He Yuan clutched his neck in pain, his eyes widened, and he gradually collapsed to the ground.
A large amount of blood flowed out from between the fingers of both hands, and soon dyed the whole area several feet in bright red.
Before death.
He Yuan still stared at Mo Jun with a pair of incredible eyes.
It seems that he never thought that Mo Jun would actually dare to kill him in public.
The sheriff's office was quiet.
Accompanied by He Yuan's death, the atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly became dead silent, and needles could be heard.
Not to mention the large and small landlords and nobles below, even Chen Jinghui, who was standing next to Mo Jun, saw this scene with wide eyes in disbelief.
"So much nonsense!"
Jun Mo glanced at He Yuan's body on the ground, and said a word.
Then he turned to Xiong Da and said, "Since the He clan is unwilling to make a deal with me, there is no need for the He clan to exist."
"Subordinates understand!"
Xiong Da calmly replied.
The patriarch of the He clan, one of the strongest "five old nobles" in Hanzhong, was killed here so easily, which already had a great impact on everyone present.
And after Mo Jun finished speaking, all the landlords and nobles who were invited this time felt a chill run through their bodies.
