From the fake emperor to the concubine

He Chengpi was also extremely disappointed.

I have already done everything, I just need them to tell me the truth.

If he doesn't fight for himself, then what is the point of him working so hard?

"Since..." Just when He Chengpi was about to say that since no one had reported it, he was going to let Mr. Shen go.

A voice with suppressed anger suddenly sounded: "Marshal, I report it. This old guy is not a good man at all. He is a complete liar and a devil!"

An inconspicuous middle-aged man walked out of the crowd.

His voice was trembling, and he was staggering as he walked, as if he could hardly stand.

His face was filled with tension that could not be concealed. Obviously, he was very scared at the moment.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone in this area knows that our Shen family is a good family."

"Marshal, you must not believe this peasant's nonsense. He must have a grudge against our family, so he is deliberately seeking revenge."

As he spoke, Mr. Shen glared at the other person with vicious eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

It might have been better if he didn't do this, but perhaps because he felt Mr. Shen's malice, the person who dared to stand up was suddenly not afraid anymore.

"Marshal, I swear to God that everything I said is true. If I lie, my whole family will die!"

Mr. Zhang was anxious: "You..."

As a result, he just opened his mouth and heard He Chengpi coldly say: "Shut up, or I will kill you now."

The hideous scar on He Chengpi's face moved as he spoke, looking particularly terrifying.

In front of him, Mr. Shen did not dare to act rashly. After all, the man in front of him was not one of those big-headed soldiers. He seemed to really dare to kill people.

Scolding Mr. Shen, He Chengpi tried his best to put on a kind smile and said to the people who stood up: "Don't be afraid. No matter what grievance you have, I will take care of it for you. But the premise is that you tell the truth."

"Tell me, what's your name and what's your grievance?"

"Marshal, my name is Zhang Laoshi." He met Mr. Shen's resentful gaze and said fearlessly.

"I live in Zhangjia Village, three miles outside the city. There are seven people in my family and a few acres of thin land. Although life is not good, we can barely get by."

The more he talked, the more excited Zhang Laoshi looked: "But two years ago, the Shen family suddenly came to my door and wanted to buy my land."

"Although they paid, the price was only 30% of the market price. The reason was that my land was not good farmland, so this price was already very high."

"General..." Zhang Laoshi choked up and said, "Even if my land is not good, it can still support our whole family. If we sell the land, how can our family survive?"

"So, my father naturally refused and rejected them on the spot."

"We didn't take it seriously at first, but we didn't expect that the Shen family's thugs would show up at our door not long after."

"Those people are all powerful monks. They tortured our family members to the point where they were worse than death, but there was no trace of any damage on their bodies."

"My father, mother, elder brother and his wife all died that night. If I hadn't just returned to my wife's home, I might have also..."

At this point, Teacher Zhang choked up and could hardly utter a complete sentence.

He wiped away his tears and said, "I went to report to the police, but the officials took the money from the Shen family and didn't care about our lives at all."

"The bodies of my relatives have become smelly in the funeral home, and no one cares about me, so I have no choice but to bury them."

"We dare not go back to the village, so we can only make a living in the city. Marshal, please make the decision for me."

He Chengpi's eyes were cold: "Is what he said true or false? I will give you one last warning. Don't lie to me. I will definitely ask others to verify what you said."

"If anyone dares to deceive me, I will tear him into pieces."

The stern murderous aura almost all pressed down on Mr. Shen, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.

Even so, Mr. Shen still said stubbornly: "Marshal, please investigate clearly. This is all just empty talk by this villain. There is no evidence at all."

"My Shen family is rich and powerful. How could we kill people and rob people just for a few acres of broken land? Think about it, Marshal. This is totally unreasonable."

Zhang Laoshi cursed: "Bah, you shameless old thing, who doesn't know what kind of person you are, Shen Gongji?"

"It's true that my family's fields are not good, but your Shen family seized our fields not for farming, but for building roads."

"I still have the deeds for those lands. Marshal, please give me some time and I will go back to get them. I still have the deeds, but the fields have been paved into roads. Is this evidence?"

Having said that, Zhang Laoshi prepared to go back to get the land deed.

These things were not found by the murderers and robbers, so after he found them, he hid them secretly.

The purpose, of course, is to be able to take revenge with my own hands one day.

Originally, Zhang Laoshi had already given up hope. Although the Shen family was not a wealthy family, they were quite powerful in Linjiang City.

At least it is not something that an ordinary person like him can easily shake.

But they never expected that an army of volunteers would be able to break into Linjiang City and defend the poor people like them.

After much hesitation, Zhang Laoshi decided to give it one last try.

Mr. Shen was almost going crazy, but he had no impression of Zhang Laoshi at all.

After all, such trivial matters were not something he needed to care about.

In his opinion, a road needs to be built at home, and if there are people blocking the road, just drive them away, they are just poor people anyway.

The Shen family wanted to buy their land, which would be a shame for their ancestors. Shouldn't they just take the money and leave out of gratitude?

"Marshal, this guy must have had a plan long ago. If this was really done by my Shen family, how could they leave anyone alive? Don't you think so?"

He Chengpi couldn't stand his ugly attitude of making excuses.

I was just about to arrange someone to go with Zhang Laoshi to get the evidence.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd stood up and said, "Marshal, I want to report Zhang Laoshi too. My granddaughter used to work at the Shen family's mansion, but one day they suddenly sent my granddaughter's body back, saying that she stole something and was beaten to death."

"But my daughter told me that she was clearly... was..."

At this point, everyone understood what had happened.

After the second person made the accusation, another person stood up and said, "Marshal, I want to report it too..."

Then came the third and fourth.

There were actually more than a dozen people just watching the fun, and they had suffered from the bullying of the Shen family.

Now, He Chengpi didn't even need to look for evidence. He looked at Mr. Shen with a grim smile and said, "You said that one person framed you. Did all the people present frame you?"

"Someone, come here! This guy is bullying the people and causing countless casualties. Capture him on the spot."

"All the people who have been bullied by the Shen family, if you have evidence, please hand it over to the county government. If you cannot provide evidence, you can ask someone to write a complaint about the case. We will open the body and conduct a trial at noon tomorrow, and the punishment will be enforced according to the law!"

Originally, He Chengpi wanted to chop the old bastard to pieces, but unfortunately he just received a message from his military advisor telling him not to vent his anger in public, so he could only arrest the man first and then interrogate him.

Seeing that all the men in the Shen family were captured by the Qingshan Army, the onlookers cheered.

"I never thought that I would see the day when Shen Gongji would be arrested." One of the common people choked up. Another person gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid he will not only be arrested, but the old man has committed so many crimes that the Marshal will definitely chop him off. Just thinking about the end of this old dog is really satisfying."

"If anyone has a grievance, don't hide it. Hurry up and file a complaint. Don't let Shen Gongji get away with it."

It was not until the next day that the people of Linjiang City learned that Shen Gongji was not the only one being tried.

For many ordinary people, this guy is bigger than the sky.

But during the interrogation by the Qingshan Army this time, Mr. Shen, nicknamed Shen Gongji, was just a small shrimp.

There was even the county magistrate who was in charge of the prison. If the city lord had not run away, he might have had to kneel there and be tried.

Interrogating officials was something the common people had never seen before.

After hearing the news, the people who came to watch blocked the road.

At first they thought they couldn't see anything.

As a result, the Qingshan Army actually built a tall wooden platform so that everyone could see the interrogation process.

The Qingshan Army officers and soldiers who were in charge of reading out the charges were almost shouting themselves hoarse.

The people also truly realized how many evil things these guys had done.

The heads were chopped off one after another, but no one showed any reluctance, because anyone who knew what they had done would want to tear them to pieces.

After the interrogation, Qingshan Jun did something else that stunned everyone.

Divide the land.

This is something that ordinary people dare not even think about.

"Fellow villagers, now you just need to go to the county government to re-register your household registration and you can get land. Adult males can get 40 acres, and females can get 20 acres!"

The Qingshan Army's messengers rode back and forth in Linjiang City on horseback, reading out loudly.

"They actually gave me 40 acres of land?"

"I must have heard it wrong. How could someone give us land?"

"Don't believe it if it's fake. Once we register our household registration, we will be accomplices of the traitors."

"Yes, they are rebelling now... Although they have taken control of the county, they will definitely not be able to resist the imperial army if it arrives later."

"At that time, they can just walk away, but can we?"

"The damn court doesn't care about us, but the rebel army treats us as human beings. What does it matter if I die for the Marshal? I will go register now. From now on, I will be a member of the Qingshan Army."

"I have already registered at the county government office. The land deed will be issued on the spot. I will be able to go and see the land soon."

"Look at the title deed first and then the land. Why does it feel so trifling?"

"Isn't that nonsense? They gave you the land for free, so you can't just pick whatever you want. Which piece of land you get depends entirely on luck."

"By the way, this land is divided for free, so does that mean the rent is a lot?"

"Thirty percent tax."

"I told you, free land must be...wait, how much is it?"

The person who asked the question naturally thought that the land rent of Qingshan Army must be very high.

But as he spoke, he realized that something was wrong.

It seems that the other party said that the tax is 1% of thirty, not 1% of three.

"You heard it right, the tax is one-tenth of thirty. And you don't have to pay rent in the first year."

To the people of Cang Yan Realm, this number is as incredible as if they were walking down the street and suddenly a billionaire offered to give them all his property.

In the Cang Yan Realm, the official land rent of the Zhao family is 50%, and half of the grain produced by these people must be paid as land rent.

And this was only the land rent received by the imperial court.

If you own land, it’s fine. But if you don’t have land, you need to pay 20% to the landlord.

This is not to mention the various ways that managers deduct rent, both overtly and covertly, when collecting rent.

Although the world rules of the Cang Yan Realm are incomplete, due to its characteristics that it is almost spring all year round and the land is rich in spiritual energy, it can produce four kinds of spiritual energy in a year.

I'm afraid the vast majority of people won't survive more than three to five years.

But even so, the people are still suffering.

Under such circumstances, how could the people not go crazy when they heard about the land rent of the Qingshan Army?

Originally, many people were worried that they would be implicated by the rebellious Qingshan Army after registering their household registration.

Now, they can no longer care about it.

Such low land rent allows them to ignore all dangers.

Tang Jianjun was busy with the division of land.

This thing is not like printing a deed and giving it out directly like handing out money. There are so many aspects involved.

As a last resort, Tang Jianjun could only shorten his sleep time again.

Although the teacher said that the body is the capital for revenge.

But Tang Jianjun didn't care, because he could clearly feel that without doing a little more, it was as if he had dug a piece of soil from the mountain of the Zhao Dynasty.

He was one step closer to true revenge.

Whenever he thought of this, he seemed to have endless energy.

"Military Advisor, I have a suggestion. Do you think we should take advantage of the fact that the dog court has not yet reacted and attack Yunshancheng?"

"I think at this time, although they know that we have captured Linjiang City, they may not take us seriously. The reinforcements from the dog court should not have come to support us."

Tang Jianjun didn't take this sentence seriously at first, but when he heard the three words "Yun Shancheng", he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Because he thought of the so-called guerrilla warfare strategy that the teacher had told them during class.

At the beginning, the rebel army was definitely no match for the imperial army. At this time, they had to think of other ways to narrow the gap as much as possible.

Relying on the terrain and fighting guerrilla warfare against the enemy is undoubtedly a very good choice.

Even if your army is 100,000 strong, they will not be able to exert their original strength once they enter the mountains.

Even if you are full of experts, you won't be able to find me easily if you are not familiar with the terrain.

These tens of thousands of miles of mountains and clouds almost all became their rear base.

"Let's do it this way." Tang Jianjun quickly made a decision, reciting the guerrilla warfare tactics his teacher had taught him. (End of this chapter)
