Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 292: This is the fate of the four major families!
Bah...bah...

This is the sound made by a corpse being dragged on the ground.

Seventeen young corpses, leaving fresh bloodstains on the ground, were dragged to the ground by the Western Factory guards and piled together.

"Second boss, there are seventeen members of the Li family in the secret room. Kill them all!"

Qin Lu glanced at the corpses, a look of satisfaction on his face: "Not bad, finally we have found them all."

After Qin Lu finished speaking, he pushed Li Lin, who was breaking down and crying, towards the pile of corpses.

The Western Factory guard in front of him immediately drew his sword.

Li Lin didn't even have time to cry for help before the Western Factory guards ended his life cleanly and efficiently.

To cut the grass at its roots, Wang Zhi said that no one should be left alive, and the Western Factory would not leave a single person alive!
"Second boss, the Li family has been dealt with. All 176 people on the Li family tree have been killed!"

Qin Lu nodded and said, "Leave 30 people to continue to check the Li family's property accounts."

"Others, follow me to the Sun family and continue the investigation!"

"Yes, Second Gear!"

So, Qin Lu brought a large number of Western Factory soldiers and rushed to the Sun family in Xuzhou Prefecture.

The four major families, Zhou, Sun, Wang, and Li, divided up the best locations in Xuzhou City.

Their houses were also built together, spanning several streets. At a glance, one could not see the end.

The courtyards with double eaves and overlapping walls that you see are probably those of a family.

Qin Lu went out from the side door of the Li family and crossed three streets before arriving at the Sun family's house.

As you walk into the Sun family’s house, you’re greeted by the strong smell of blood.

Like the Li family, the Sun family's house was also littered with corpses and blood.

Stepping over the bodies of the Sun family members on the ground, Qin Lu walked into the central hall. The Western Factory guards who were patrolling the hall hurried forward to greet him.

"Second gear!"

Qin Lu put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "How is the Sun family's cleanup going?"

"Returning to Second Gear, the Sun family tree lists a total of 103 people. 89 have been executed so far, leaving 14 people left. We are currently searching for them!"

Qin Lu nodded and said, "Keep looking. Even if we have to dig deep into the ground, we must find those fourteen people and get rid of them!"

"The factory supervisor wants to kill everyone, so we must not leave a single person alive, do you understand?!"

"Yes, Second Gear!"

Qin Lu personally took the Western Factory's men to search for the remaining patriarchs of the Sun family in the Sun family compound.

I will never give up until the roots are completely eradicated!

Not only the Li family and the Sun family, but also the Wang family and the Zhou family were the same, and were completely liquidated by the Western Factory!
While the people in the Western Factory were thoroughly liquidating the four major families, Gao Shun and others were not idle either. Instead, they immediately took over all military and political affairs in the Xuzhou city.

All the garrison soldiers in Xuzhou City were disarmed at the first opportunity and gathered in a camp outside the city, awaiting orders.

The people in Xuzhou city tightly closed their doors and windows, hid in their rooms in fear, and prayed silently.

The people in the entire Xuzhou city heard the long-lasting screams coming from the mansions of the four major families.

The shrill screams made them equally frightened.

They were afraid that the massacre suffered by the four major families would affect ordinary people like them.

But they waited anxiously for the whole night, until the next morning, when the screams of the patriarchs of the four major families were no longer heard in the city, but their tightly closed doors and windows were still intact.

After these southward troops took control of Xuzhou, they uprooted the four major families and killed them all, but they did not harm the ordinary people.

Some brave people secretly opened the windows and looked out.

Inside Xuzhou city, the streets and environment were all the same as yesterday.

However, there were no more people walking on the streets. Instead, there were fully armed soldiers and Western Factory guards covered in blood.

The four major families that had been entrenched in the people of Xuzhou Prefecture and acted recklessly for decades had been wiped out overnight.

The people of Xuzhou Prefecture have not realized it yet.

How wonderful their future life will be when they are no longer exploited by landlords and gentry like the four big families.

They just began to vaguely realize that something in the city of Xuzhou had begun to change.

The government office in Xuzhou City has now become a temporary command post for the army heading south.

Gao Shun, Wang Zhi, Xu Chang and others are temporarily working in the government office.

Qin Lu had not slept all night. When he walked into the government office, the smell of blood on his body made the soldiers who were already accustomed to the battlefield frown.

"Your Excellency the Factory Supervisor, I have fulfilled my mission. All the members of the four major families in Xuzhou Prefecture have been killed!"

Qin Lu bowed to Wang Zhi who was sitting on the seat and reported.

Wang Zhi nodded: "I understand. Now the entire territory of Xuzhou Prefecture is under our control."

"It's time to invite Wang Yan, Yang Jizong and others back to continue the investigation of Xuzhou Prefecture's land."

"From now on, if there are still people in Xuzhou who deliberately obstruct and shirk the imperial court's land survey, the four major families will be their fate!"

Surveying the land of the country was Tan Lu's job. After hearing Wang Zhi's words, he immediately accepted the order again: "Yes, Lord Wang Zhi!"

"I will go to Luzhou right away to pick up the two officials, Wang Yan and Yang Jizong."

Wang Zhi waved his hand: "You worked hard all day yesterday, you must be very tired."

"You should go and have a rest first. It's such a small matter, we can just send someone to do it."

Qin Lu did not insist, but accepted Wang Zhi's kindness and thanked him, "Yes, thank you, Director."

Qin Lu went down to rest. At the same time, several guards from the Western Factory, with a hundred soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp, left the city of Xuzhou and headed straight for Luzhou.

At this time, Wang Yan and Yang Jizong were staying in an inn on the border of Luzhou.

Since Qin Lu left the team, they have remained where they are, waiting for notification.

On that day, they were also there and witnessed with their own eyes the scene of 120,000 black cavalrymen marching south of the Yangtze River.

The huge army made Wang Yan very excited.

The injustice I suffered in Pei County that day has finally been avenged!
At this time, only one day had passed, but Wang Yan was already impatient and kept asking Yang Jizong beside him.

"Sir Yang, do you think that after the generals have dealt with the people in Xuzhou Prefecture, will they allow us to go back and survey the land in Xuzhou Prefecture?"

"We haven't even finished measuring the amount of farmland in Xuzhou Prefecture!"

"If you want us to go back and survey the land, when will you come back and let us know?"

Wang Yan seemed very anxious, but Yang Jizong was still leisurely, looking through the data they had previously recorded.

He ignored Wang Yan's questions, which made Wang Yan even more anxious.

At this moment, they heard at the same time the sound of horse hooves coming from afar.
