After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Yes, although there are few people now and there is no phenomenon of cliques, Mo Jinchun still divides them into circles in his heart.

There are about 70 people in their team, who are considered to be senior figures. They have followed Xu Zhenying for a long time, and they are also the most trusted and reused by Xu Zhenying.

For people like them who are classified as Lao Liao's team, if they don't take the initiative to join the team, or if they are extremely short of people, they don't have many opportunities to take the lead.

Seeing that although Ming Xiaoshuang was plain in appearance, he had a magnanimity standing there that could not be ignored. Mo Jinchun had to take another look at Ming Xiaoshuang.

Ming Xiaoshuang was a little surprised when he saw someone looking over, it was a new face, but he nodded slightly as a greeting.

Fang Xun knew that Xu Qingying did not have so many rules. She liked to go straight and talk about things, and she never paid attention to the office setting, so he reported the situation when he walked in: "City Lord, a day has passed, and there has been no movement from those houses. The Chen family also wanted to send someone to deliver a letter to Jinzhou to send troops to suppress us, but the letter has been intercepted by us. What do you think we should do with it?"

"I heard that there is someone in the Chen family. Why, is the official very big?"

Fang Xun knew that she didn't really care about the other party's official position, so he smiled and said: "Anyway, it is enough to allow the Jinzhou Guards to send troops."

"It's true that he was given a toast instead of a fine drink. I originally wanted to save his life, but some people value money more than their own lives, so there's nothing I can do about it." Xu Zhenying quickly wiped his face clean and put the handkerchief on his face. After putting it on the shelf, everyone saw the narrow couch behind the shelf.

It turned out that Xu Zhenying slept in the county government office last night.

Jiang Yongkang said: "They probably saw that the city lord came into the city yesterday and did not kill anyone, so they thought we were weak and easy to bully."

"That's the truth. Is the stage set up?"

Fang Xun, who was in charge of this matter, immediately said: "It's all set up, and the dog-head guillotine has also been put on."

"Who ranked first in the people's vote?"

"Chen Zhangyi of the Chen family. It is said that this person is tyrannical in Lan County relying on his connections with the DPRK and China. The people jokingly call him the second magistrate of Lan County."

Sun Qingchen, who was behind him, looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Xu Zhenying smiled and said to Sun Qingchen: "Master Sun, you didn't do your job well."

She added: "Is the evidence of the crime clear and clear?"

"It's a sure thing." Fang Xun looked around, then took a step forward, "The city lord really wants to scare the monkeys and force the wealthy households to pay food?"

Xu Zhenying nodded, "You said you killed the chicken to scare the monkeys. If I don't kill the chicken, how can the monkeys listen to me?"

"But once the city lord kills Chen Zhangyi, he will confirm our identity as rogue bandits. If the imperial court launches a hunt for us in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape..."

Xu Zhenying has also thought about this issue.

She was very pleased that the people below did not completely follow her, and at least retained the ability to think independently. She glanced at Fang Xun appreciatively, "The fact that you can raise this question means that you sincerely consider it for us. I also consider this question. I thought about it, we don’t have food, we just don’t have food, and we can’t provide food for these five thousand refugees or even more than 1 people in a short period of time. If I don’t want anyone to starve to death this winter, I can only pick fat sheep to kill. . Fang Xun, I don’t want to kill anyone. Killing is the last resort and the last resort. But if I kill a dozen people, I can save 5000 people, so I think it can be done. As for the consequences, Let me in the future take the responsibility. I have to pass this test now before I can hope to talk about the future."

Fang Xun was startled for a moment, then handed over his hand: "I understand."

"Okay, it's getting brighter now, and it's time for the opera to start. Jiang Yongkang, take people to arrest the Chen family quickly. Fang Xun, tell all the people to gather in front of the city gate. We are here today. , want to kill people to sacrifice to heaven!"

————————————————————————————

At this moment in the Chen Mansion, even though there is a shortage of food in the city, Chen Zhangyi still has a bowl of noodles, a few slices of sauced duck, half a plate of shrimps and corn, candied green plums, anchovy fins, and golden bergamot rolls placed on the table. A table shows the wealth of the Chen family.

The sky was getting brighter, and there seemed to be a noise in the distance. Chen Zhangyi felt unhappy, slammed the bowl down, and asked the boy next to him: "Has the messenger left?"

"As for me, I set off yesterday, and I'm afraid I'm already halfway there now."

"Very good." Chen Zhangyi clapped his hands and laughed, "When the troops came to the city, he Xu Zhenying realized how powerful my Chen family was. A young boy who entered the city didn't even come to visit me. Chen Zhangyi even wanted to force me to surrender. He even dares to incite the people to go against me, haha, I want to see who dares to go against me, Chen Zhangyi!"

"The master is right. They are just a group of ignorant and reckless people. Some of the refugees under his control are so arrogant. The so-called people do not fight with the officials. He only dared to cause trouble for me because he has eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard. No matter how patient he is, I In a few days, when the officers and soldiers from Jinzhou Prefecture arrive, they will have to kneel in front of you and beg for mercy."

Chen Zhangyi felt happy after being complimented by the boy.

Unexpectedly, a young man outside the door stumbled in the next second, "Sir, it's bad, the mountain king led people to surround our yard and said he would arrest us and take us to the city gate to punish us!"

"What?!" Chen Zhangyi dropped the silver chopsticks in his hand and stood up suddenly, angry and anxious, "Did you tell them that I am the brother-in-law of the prefect of Jinzhou?"

"Oh, my lord, they didn't listen at all. They just led people into the yard. They will be at your place soon! Should we run or stay? Madam, please give me a word..."

"Run, why should I run? Let them catch me! I just went to have a chat with the mountain king. I'm afraid he doesn't know my origin and identity. If he does, I want to see if he dares to touch me. ?!”

Chen Zhangyi did not wait for Xu Zhenying.

Jiang Yongkang's men directly surrounded the Chen Mansion, and then bundled all the seventeen or eighteen members of the Chen Mansion on the spot. They did not pass by the county government office at all, but were directly twisted and sent to the high platform of the city gate.

All the people in the city were mobilized.

At this moment, the sky was bright, and the main road in the city was surrounded by water. Especially at the city gate, there were people running around and talking.

"What are we doing? It is said that the Mountain King wants to kill the rich people in the city. Is it true or false?"

"Really, I live in the alley next to Chen Mansion, and I saw with my own eyes that they led people to arrest Chen Zhangyi."

"Isn't it said that Chen Zhangyi is some relative of the prefect? ​​Is this mountain king crazy? He dares to kill even the relatives of high-ranking officials?"

"Will the rich family kill us after we finish killing them?"

"Chen Zhangyi has been domineering in our Lan County for so many years. If he gets his head chopped off, it's only because of God's will. Common people like us have never done anything bad, so what should we be afraid of?"

"That's not the case. The king said not to kill anyone before, but now he wants to kill Chen Zhangyi's whole family. It won't be our turn next, right?"

"Probably not. I just asked the leader and he said that we don't need to be afraid. Chen Zhangyi has done many evil things and was confessed by the people. The evidence of his crime is conclusive and his crime is unforgivable. The people in our city just need to behave themselves. If you listen to them properly, not only will you not have to worry about being beheaded, but you will also be given food in the future!"

"Really or not?!" These words immediately attracted the attention of people around them. When it came to the food issue, everyone couldn't stop talking. "They are really giving out food. Where does the food come from?"

"Yes, I heard that people in many places in the countryside have fled. There is no harvest from the fields this year. Our Lan County is doing well. Every household still has a little surplus food. We can survive by eating sparingly."

"No, that's because your family is rich. My family is afraid that they won't be able to survive this winter even if they only drink gruel."

"Why is your family like this? I remember that your man used to work as an errand in a government office, and his salary was quite high."

"Hey, several of his uncles and uncles' families were hit by a disaster and couldn't survive in the countryside. Why don't they come to join us? Unexpectedly, not long after they arrived, County Magistrate Sun ordered the city gate to be closed, and they had to stay with us all the time. Here, I have so many mouths, and no matter how much food I have, I can't support such consumption. I have been worried about where the food will come from all day. If this king really gives us food, I can recognize him as the county magistrate. ah!"

"Women's words!" someone scolded, "They are just a bunch of rough mountain bandits, they are rogue bandits. Which rogue bandit doesn't burn, kill, rob and torture? Don't be deceived by them! Just watch, kill the Chen family, then Can the remaining three families escape?!"

As soon as the gong struck, the people's eardrums shook and they immediately stopped talking. They all stretched their necks and looked towards the high platform.

Xu Zhenying walked slowly towards the high platform, followed by her core team.

The Chen family members had all been tied up, their left and right shoulders were held down, and they were kneeling on the ground.

Then Chen Zhangyi kept shouting: "You gangster, I am the brother-in-law of the prefect of Jinzhou. How dare you kill me? I advise you to untie the rope immediately, kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake, and I will spare your life! Otherwise!" Jinzhou's troops are approaching the city, and you refugees will all die!" But the woman beside him was already begging for mercy: "Master, give them the key to the granary, why should we compete with these bandits..."

"Why are you panicking? I'm sure they are just showing off and don't dare to kill us!"

Xu Zhenying did countless psychological preparations for himself before setting off.

This is the Zhou Dynasty, which follows the jungle law of the weak and the strong. She cannot maintain her previous moral standards and conduct herself in the world.

By killing Chen Zhangyi's family, he could get thousands of grains, which would provide food for the [-] people in the city.

Since Xu Zhenying traveled through time, she personally killed Liu Jiejie and several other refugees. She couldn't sleep at all a few days before the murder, but as time went by, the bloody and nauseating feeling gradually faded away.

She confirmed one thing, she didn't like killing, nor did she like the feeling of life and death.

She just needs to ensure that she has enough motivation for each murder, or even more ruthlessly enough, there is enough profit.

Xu Zhenying waved his hand and did not intend to go on stage to do this in person, but handed the matter over to Fang Xun.

Fang Xun took the order, took a step forward, and looked down at the people below.

At this moment, Fang Xun suppressed the excitement in his heart, and something seemed to take root in his heart. Looking at the pair of expectant, fearful, and uneasy eyes, he felt a sense of scolding Fang Qiu.

Is this what it feels like to be a master?

It’s so fascinating——

"Everyone." Fang Xun's voice was not loud, but everyone in the square could hear clearly, "There are more than 5000 people in our city. 5000 of them are refugees and [-] are from Lan County, but no matter who they are, As for your identity, it is a certainty that Lan County is short of food. Mr. Sun has closed the city gate, and you have not heard from the outside for a long time, so you don’t know what is going on outside."

Everyone looked at Fang Xun curiously.

"Jinzhou was severely affected by the disaster, especially in Sanjiang County. It was in ruins. Almost all the fields and houses were washed away. No one was left alive. They either died in the flood, died on the way to escape, or starved to death alive. . How many people sell their sons and daughters just for a small bag of grain. The situation in our Lan County is a little better than that of several other counties."

Fang Xun changed the subject, his face stained with a look of sadness and anger, "But even under this situation, the Chen family still sent people everywhere to buy grain at low prices and hoard it. According to the people's feedback, the Chen family had a man in the nearby mountains and forests. The secret granary contains enough grain to feed the people of Lan County for a month! Magistrate Sun repeatedly begged him to open a granary to help the people, but he refused. He was asked to sell it to the people at a fair price, but he still refused. You guys say...this Why?"

The people below were so excited that they shouted: "What else is there for? This old thing wants to sell it at a high price and make the country difficult to make money!"

"That's right, we little people are starving to death, and the Chen family still eats big fish and meat every meal!"

"Yes!" Fang Xun knocked on the gong, and the people all shut up, "This is because the roads are frozen to death, and the wine and meat of the rich families are stinky! When our city lord entered the city, he repeatedly stated that he would not kill anyone, but are the Chen family human beings?"

The people below shouted in unison: "No!"

Xu Zhenying was listening to the side, with a straight face and not showing off his anger, but in his heart he was thinking that Fang Xun was a good material to incite people. Looking at the common people in Lan County, they all had the same hatred and wanted to rush to the stage to kill Chen Zhangyi right now. The whole family!

"Yes, we are not killing people, we are killing animals! Not only that, some righteous people reported to our people yesterday, saying that Chen Zhangyi has been domineering in Lan County for many years and has committed more than this crime. His eldest son will rob someone this year He took the daughters of two farmers as concubines. His wife beat a maid to death last year and had a maid thrown into a mass grave. He, Chen Zhangyi, even bullied the market and would not tolerate others taking his business. Anyone who dared to do the same business as him would be punished by him. Either find someone to make trouble, falsely accuse others and get into lawsuits, or set traps for others to bankrupt their families and leave their wives and children. His evil deeds are too numerous to describe. We, the city lord, really can’t bear to stand it. In order to maintain fairness and justice in Lan County, we decided to put Chen Zhangyi to death. The whole family will be put to death to give everyone justice! The city lord said, kill the Chen family, open a granary, and distribute food!"

Hearing this, Sun Qingchen's expression changed.

Chen Zhangyi's eyes widened in shock.

The heads of the other three families were also invited to the stage to watch the entire execution process. At this moment, all three of them looked pale, with cold sweat pouring from their foreheads.

The common people were always easy to incite, and the Chen family was notorious in the first place, but the most touching thing was Fang Xun's last words.

Kill the Chen family, open a granary, and distribute food!

The people immediately became excited, and they all shouted: "Kill the Chen family, open granaries, and distribute food!"

The people behind could not hear clearly what Fang Xun said, but when everyone shouted, they all followed the trend and shouted: "Share the food! Share the food!"

Suddenly, the sound in the square became louder and louder.

Then Chen Zhangyi knew that the matter was difficult, especially when he looked at Xu Zhenying's face. The man was standing there calmly, with no emotion on his face. When he saw the executioner rushing towards him, Chen Zhangyi was so frightened that his face turned pale, almost He immediately peed all over the floor and began to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I'm just ignorant. Don't you want food? I'll let someone guide you. I'll give you all the food. I don't want it." Got it!"

His eldest son was also crying and crying: "Your Majesty, please spare our lives. As long as you spare us, not only will we give you food, but also all the silver and jewelry of my Chen family will be given to you. Please let us go -"

Jiang Yongkang sneered: "I'm talking about this now, it's too late! Once we chop off your heads, everything in your Chen family will be ours!"

Xu Zhenying showed no mercy and raised her hand slightly.

The word "kill" was uniformly displayed on the stage, with a majestic momentum. The executioners stood in a row, raised their swords and chopped off the heads of more than a dozen members of the Chen family in an instant.

Blood splattered and the ground was bright red.

At this moment, everyone in the square was quiet.

They seemed to wake up from a terrible dream. Some screamed, some closed their eyes, and some stepped back!
This great king...actually killed him right away?
Mo Jinchun and Sun Qingchen's eyelids twitched.

There was a deathly silence, the cold wind howled, and the huge square was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Xu Zhenying said: "Hang their heads on the wall to show everyone. If there are still disobedient people, think more about the fate of the Chen family!"

Jiang Yongkang left with his head raised.

This scene shocked everyone, and also shocked the Xu family.

Everyone thought that Xu Zhenying's move was just to frighten the Chen family and force the Chen family to pay food, but they didn't know that she actually ordered the murder.

There are a total of twelve people, old and young.

This cruelty made everyone in the Xu family frightened, and no one dared to answer the question for a while.

At this moment, everyone realized that Xu Qingying was Xu Qingying and Xu Zhenying was Xu Zhenying.

Xu Qingying is the shy and quiet girl who hides behind her parents.

And Xu Zhenying is the person in power who kills and seizes power with a knife in his hand.

Xu Lezhi was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. Looking at the man's delicate back, she didn't even dare to breathe.

The three heads of the Wang, Liu, and Gu families witnessed the whole process. Xu Zhenying deliberately arranged their positions in the front, so that when the executioner killed people, the blood of the Chen family splashed on their faces.

They didn't dare to wipe it at all.

The head of the Gu family spat it out with a "wow" sound.

The head of the Liu family was trembling all over and did not dare to look into Xu Zhenying's eyes.

This is a threat and a signal, to make the three families pay food to save their lives!
"Speaking of which, I have to praise the Wang family. This time, the head of the Wang family opened the warehouse overnight and sent us a full three thousand stones of grain and grass! I heard that in Lan County, bridges and roads were built, and sheds were set up to provide porridge. When the Wang family is involved, no wonder most people praise your Wang family, so you have to be kind in everything you do, in order to leave yourself a chance to survive."
