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

In front of this wonton stall, men and women gather around the table to chat about business, which is now a rare sight in Lan County.

People passing by seemed to be used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But if this scene had happened half a year ago, the woman would have been scolded for being "watery" and "unruly".

Changes always moisten things silently, just like a night of spring rain. When you wake up in the morning, you may not see rain, but you can see the mist on the treetops.

Mr. Fang, who had listened to the whole conversation, sneered and said to Fang Xun beside him: "Xu Zhenying is really good at it. She said that it will be rented for free within ten years. Her medical building has a total of twenty or thirty shops. Now in Lan County, There are only a few medical clinics in the area, but she can build momentum and pretend that the supply exceeds the demand, which attracts these shopkeepers to come and show their gratitude and loyalty. Little did they know that they had been kidnapped by Xu Zhenying on the pirate ship, and this would happen in the next ten years. Years, these people will be loyal to her for their own benefit."

Fang Xun supported Mr. Fang and sighed: "Why does my grandfather always think the worst of the city lord? Her original intention of establishing the medical school was indeed to promote the advancement of medical technology in the Zhou Dynasty and make more people affordable. Not to mention her With this move, the people are satisfied, the doctors are satisfied, and now the owners of the medical center are also satisfied, isn’t it a win-win situation?”

Mr. Fang frowned, seeming to be a little disdainful of her methods, "She has always been like this. She puts interests first in everything she does. She identifies the weaknesses of human nature and seeks mutual benefits. This woman's ability to play with people's hearts is really terrifying."

Fang Xun disagreed, "Grandpa, is there anything wrong with this?"

"There's nothing wrong. I just think she..." Mr. Fang sighed, and when he thought of those words she said about flying immortals, he felt like something was stuck in his throat.

Since the last time he had a frank meeting with Xu Zhenying, he had been so shocked that he became ill and bedridden. Seeing that spring had arrived and the weather outside was just right, Fang Xun insisted on taking him out, saying he wanted to see the changes in Lan County outside.

You don’t know this by looking at it, but it’s really shocking when you look at it.

In just a few months, the changes in Lan County have been profound.

The street seems to have become wider and brighter, and there are obviously more people on the street. However, although there are many people, there is no noise on the street. The stalls of the vendors seem to be arranged in neat lines, leaving just enough space for pedestrians. space.

And they are very particular about where they place their things. They will never stick out or touch any pedestrians. Before leaving, I will consciously clean up the area around the stall.

The most direct thing to the senses is that there are so many women on the street!

It seemed as if all the women in Lan County were on the move, regardless of old or young, married or unmarried.

The girls at school were chattering, holding freshly baked pancakes in their hands, and talking to the male students about the homework left by the teacher without hesitation. Speaking of excitement, she even argued with the male students until she turned red and refused to give in!

As for the married young woman with her hair combed into a woman's hair, she was selling garlands and flower baskets with peace of mind. Her skin was very white and slightly reddened by the sun, but her hands kept moving, constantly picking up flowers at her feet. The wild flowers picked were scattered and tied little by little with silk.

Mr. Fang remembers that when a new store opened in Lan County, some flowers would be placed at the door to make it festive and beautiful.

In the past, such a fragile and charming woman would not have dared to go out alone, let alone do business safely in public.

Fang Xun then explained that the city lord had already organized two teams, called the Public Security Management Brigade.

One team consists of brave women from the refugees, and the other team consists of soldiers randomly selected from the barracks. The two groups patrol back and forth every day. One team is responsible for persuading neighborhood conflicts and the other is responsible for solving harassment by gangsters who are causing trouble.

In Lan County, harassment by gangsters is a serious crime. Whether it is verbal or physical teasing, before the women themselves can complain, the surrounding shops and passers-by will enthusiastically pull over the security management brigade.

Often, before the women who were being harassed could react, the provocative men were taken to the gate of the county government office and whipped twenty times. If the circumstances are serious, they have to be sent to land reclamation sites to do hard labor for free.

Nowadays, the men in Lan County adhere to masculine virtues more than the women. When walking on the road, even if they see a beautiful woman whose clothes reveal a little collar, they dare not take a look.

Even if the male companions who were traveling with me wanted to take a second look, they would be stopped and said: "You don't want your life. Do you want to be free livestock at the demonstration base?"

Therefore, the women in Lan County now dare to go out boldly. Even at night, they will walk on the road openly.

Not to mention that the people here in Lan County are all in high spirits and walking briskly. No matter what they do, they walk in a hurry, as if something is chasing behind them.

It would be impossible to say that Mr. Fang was not shocked by the huge changes in Lan County.

It was precisely because of this shock that Mr. Fang felt powerless and desperate.

Could it be that Heaven wants to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Even things like flying immortals from outside the world happen here, not to mention Xu Zhenying's ambition and methods are fully exposed. Does she want to copy that world here?

Is he really an ant blocking the process of history?

Mr. Fang felt indescribably powerless at the moment. After walking around for a while, he seemed to be quite haggard. He sighed quietly to Fang Xun, "God is going to destroy my great Zhou..."

Fang Xun wanted to say that the Great Zhou Dynasty had fallen apart.

But after all, considering that Mr. Fang was old, he could only endure it.

"That girl Xu Zhenying, I underestimated her. No matter what, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and my old bones can't change anything." Mr. Fang patted Fang Xun on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Xu Zhenying said That new world is yours."

"Grandpa, do you agree with me to work with the city lord?" Fang Wen looked happy, "The city lord has been hoping that you would figure it out and come out to check things like us. As long as you nod, the second-in-command in Lan County will This position belongs to you!"

Mr. Fang smiled grandly and sadly, but with a kind of detached relief, "Xun'er, I can't do it. Old man, I was born in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I drank the water of the Great Zhou Dynasty and ate the food of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have been a member of the Zhou Dynasty all my life, so naturally I will die in the Zhou Dynasty. Even if it is decayed, even if it has faded away, even if it will become the dust of history, although the city is broken, it is just dead, and the jade can be It can be broken but its whiteness cannot be destroyed. Bamboo can be burned but its joints cannot be destroyed. Although the body may be damaged and its reputation can be hung on the bamboo and silk, there is nothing to be afraid of——"

"grandfather!"

"You don't need to persuade me anymore. The new world is yours, and this old world that is dilapidated and rotten will be left to me. Go and tell Xu Zhenying that I am not happy with the position she gave me, and I will prosper in this life, although I will not stop you." These small gangs have made great achievements, but I will never work for the rebellious ministers and traitors! As long as she doesn’t kill me, then I will be a minister of the Zhou Dynasty for one day!"

—————————————————————

At night, the lights in Lan County gradually went out and everything became quiet.

A waning moon hangs diagonally, and the moon shines brightly, which is beautiful.

At this moment, a fast horse was running at full speed, and the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats was particularly clear in the quiet town of Lan County.

Someone half-awake looked at the firelight outside and muttered: "What happened again?"

The woman beside him said sleepily, "What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, the city lord will hold it up."

"Too."

The Xu family mansion was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. Xu Zhenying knew something was wrong when she heard the movement in the front yard. She grabbed a coat and walked out. Sure enough, she saw a communications soldier from the military camp with an anxious look on his face. Came: "City Lord, someone is setting fire to the mountain at the base of the demonstration village, and the refugees and Xiao Shuangye are about to start a fight!"

Xu Zhenying looked calm, "Have you notified the military camp?" "The city wall guards have notified the military camp."

"Who is in charge of the military camp tonight?"

"Mo Jinchun, instructor Mo."

"Very good. He should know what's appropriate. You go hold the horse, and I'll be right out!"

People from several courtyards of the Xu family were all next to each other. At this moment, everyone was awakened. Miao, Lian, and Xu Yinxi all hurried over wearing their coats, including Qian Zhenniang, who lived far away, and she was also running at this moment. De appeared at Xu's house with a sweaty face.

As soon as they heard about the riots by the refugees, everyone looked panicked, and the eldest aunt was the first to scold: "Why are they starting to fight? Aren't those refugees very obedient? How long did it take for them to reveal their true colors? "

Xu Zhenying immediately tidied up and said, "Fourth sister, you go to the county government and take charge. I will leave five hundred elite soldiers for you. You must guard the city to prevent any commotion in the city. If there are those who fish in troubled waters and want to cause trouble, in extraordinary times, when Use heavy codes to suppress them. Zhenniang, it is impossible for refugees to cause trouble for no reason. I will give you a few people. You can first go and check the situation quietly to see if there is anyone hiding behind to instigate."

Seeing that Xu Zhenying was about to go out, Miao immediately said, "I'll go with you. I'm in charge of the logistics. The fight between them today was probably about material distribution. I know all the material expenditures in Lan County."

Lian immediately said, "I'll go help too."

Xu Degui also immediately said: "They are numerous and powerful. I will choose a few people to follow and protect you. If there is a fight, I can protect you and escape."

When Huang Cui'e saw that everyone was taking the initiative to ask for help, she quickly winked at her eldest son. Xu Huijia, the eldest son, also immediately understood and said, "City Lord, I'm going too. I've been training in the military camp for a long time, please let me show off too!"

The fourth uncle and fourth aunt also said immediately: "We are going too, Anping is still there, we are worried about her."

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Aunt Chun immediately expressed her position: "Then we will stay and take care of the old lady and the younger generation at home. Fu Wei, Huirong, and Mei Xiao are all safely placed with us, and not a single hair will fall out." "

It's really rare that in such a panic situation, everyone in the Xu family actually started to have their own opinions and made arrangements for themselves clearly before Xu Zhenying could say anything.

Regardless of their psychology, this is a welcome improvement.

"Okay. Everyone split up!"

As for the demonstration base, there was already a lot of trouble.

A conflict broke out between the two parties. Thousands of refugees held hoes, wooden sticks and other objects and surrounded the main members of the Xu family's political team.

Some people are making trouble, some are watching the fun, and some are spreading the news.

Wang Xingye mingled with the refugees and kept discouraging him: "You guys have something to say, why do you have to set fire to the mountain? Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise it would have caused a big disaster! Do you still want to divide the land?" "

Some refugees shouted loudly: "What kind of land are we allotted?! We have been clearing land here for more than two months, and all we have done is hard work. Today, the shadow of the fields is not big enough. I suspect that the city lord clearly wants to We will be long-term workers!"

"There is no land division. The land has already been divided, and we can just wait until we save the work to divide it into divisions! The city lord has made it clear, why don't you believe it?"

"Then give it to us first! We will still open up wasteland! When the time comes, we will open up our own fields, and we will have more power! I think the city lord is clearly dragging his feet and not giving us the land, leaving us to work for her in vain. !”

"What you are saying is too conscientious! What kind of situation is this? How many people are starving to death outside? Just tell me, have you suffered from hunger and cold since entering Lan County? Did the city lord give you food? What, Doumien? Is it because of the hatred of rice? Now you have just eaten and you don’t recognize it? Put the things down quickly. If you have anything to say, let’s talk to the city lord when he comes!”

"Wang, where are you from? You entered the city with us, but why are you talking to outsiders now?"

Ming Xiaoshuang was squeezed in the middle and had already drawn his sword towards each other. He said angrily with a red face: "Back off! Back off! Everyone, back off! What are you doing? What are you doing! Are you going to rebel?!"

The soldiers led by Mo Jinchun had also arrived. Each of them held a sword in front of them, accompanied by a uniform slogan, "Boom, boom, boom!" The dust on the ground was flying, and they pressed forward step by step. Pushing forward, he used his body to push the troubled refugees some distance away.

Seeing that the situation was about to break out, someone shouted: "The city lord is here!"

The dozen or so rioters looked guilty and tried to run away, but were caught by Zhou Bo and others.

Everyone held torches and retreated to both sides, and Xu Zhenying walked in slowly.

The man walked slowly and leisurely, as if he was not in a hurry. After slowly approaching with a large number of people behind him, Ming Xiaoshuang immediately moved a few benches over with quick eyes and hands.

As soon as Xu Zhenying sat down, the dozen or so rioting refugees were all frightened and fell to their knees.

Xu Zhenying waved her hand and said, "I don't want to kneel down here. I just need to explain the matter clearly. Let's talk about it. What's going on?"

Now everyone was talking hurriedly. Xu Zhenying had a headache. She shouted several times but no one listened, so she had to sit there and wait for them to finish.

This was the time it took to burn an incense stick, and everyone was yelling at each other vigorously. It took a while to realize that Xu Zhenying slowly lowered his voice.

Finally, the sound died down.

Xu Zhenying sighed and finally finished speaking. Fortunately, he didn't move his hands.

Now I can finally handle it slowly.

The dozen or so people were twisted by the soldiers' arms and pushed in front of Xu Zhenying. Xu Zhenying asked: "Who is taking the lead in making trouble?"

Zhou Bo said: "This one in my hand is causing the most trouble."

Xu Zhenying looked around again and asked again: "Is he the one who set the mountain on fire?"

"Yes."

Xu Zhenying glanced at Ming Xiaoshuang, but her voice was cold, "Kill him."
