Chapter 401 Dignified

"What does a county magistrate mean? We are from the Shengsheng Department!" At this time, a young man with a sneer on his face walked in, sat on the chair calmly, held his waist knife in his hand and played with it.

, said playfully.

"Shooting Department?" Hu Shengyu said in disbelief, his whole body trembling. He really didn't understand how he provoked these people. I heard that they killed countless people!

Could it be that his family was going to be wiped out too?

Thinking of this, his face turned pale, and no amount of experience would be of any help at this point.

"We have never broken the law, and we are kind-hearted people. I don't know why we have disturbed your company?" Fang Quansheng said that Mr. Fang has seen the world, or the matter is irrelevant and can stay out of it, so he is quite calm.

"Haha!" The young man sneered and said, "In all our years in the Archery Department, we have never made a mistake in arresting anyone, nor have we ever violated any national law!"

"So, you'd better stop struggling so insignificantly and give up. Your tricks won't work on me!"

"And you, Fang Quansheng, I know you too, you are very famous in Xinhui County! Don't worry, someone also went to your house this time, although I wasn't the leader!"

With a few words, these two gentlemen instantly lost their sense of proportion and turned pale. They didn't know what to do about their family and the future!

"Let's go, I'm not here to catch you this time, I'll scare you! Hahaha!" The young man stood up, and his laughter stimulated the hearts of both of them.

Soon, all the guests present were gathered together and received instructions:

"From now on, new money will be issued. No one is allowed to mint money in violation of national laws, nor is it allowed to melt coins privately. Those who violate the law will have their homes ransacked and the city occupied!"

Hearing that it was just a warning, everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not arresting anyone. Mr. Hu and Mr. Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on their faces, and they felt like they were surviving a disaster.

Just when everyone was relaxing, the Sound Department issued an order again:

"According to the emperor's order, a large wealthy family in Lingnan Prefecture minted coins and smelted copper coins privately. The crime was extremely heinous. However, considering that he was determined to serve the country, he was given a lighter sentence and was fined hundreds of dollars. He stayed in Changsha Mansion!"

"Hu Deyu Fangquan, Xinhui County..."

The newly arrived survivors were suddenly enveloped in such a huge fright. It was as if three souls scared away two souls. Hu Shengyu and Fang Quansheng were trembling with fear.

"Everyone, everyone on the list will set off in three days. Please make preparations. If you have money, it is feasible to hand it over tomorrow. Our Sound Department is always tolerant!"

The young man smiled happily and said that this was based on the pain of everyone.

They couldn't help but be so happy. According to the emperor's oral instructions, the money handed over basically served as a reward for the Sound Department. Except for half of it, which was handed over to the headquarters, the rest belonged to themselves and others, and their family property increased dramatically.

A few days later, throughout Lingnan, a large group of people were walking slowly on the post road. They were all cavalry in front and behind, and there was also a group of infantry accompanying them.

In addition, officials from prefectures and counties were also present to check the names to prevent any omissions. At this time, officials began to read the list one by one.

The wealthy people who were sitting on ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages were driven to stand in three rows, lining up to go to the north. Their faces were full of sorrow, reluctant to leave, and they stood there tremblingly. Under the gaze of the horsemen and horses, they restrained each other, and there was no chance of escaping.

Chance.

The wealthy people from their hometown migrated to Changsha and became common people. The influence of the past has disappeared, leaving only the humbleness of being in a foreign country.

All the land left in Lingnan was sold off, as was their family property. They knew that if they held on to these things, they would not be able to change their fate of being swallowed up in the future, so they might as well sell them at a low price.

However, because the bank notes of the world are simple and trouble-free, although they require 1% of exchange money, they are convenient and fast. Therefore, they are used by the military and are recognized by the people.

Of course, there are also people who are unwilling to do so. They keep the land and house deeds and look forward to returning to Lingnan one day. Unfortunately, unless your family has an official in the court, they will inevitably be devoured.

At this time, there was also someone who was unwilling to do so. An old man with gray hair, his eyes were full of anger, he lowered his head and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Li Jia, a traitor and tyrant who seeks to usurp the throne!"

Several people in the surrounding area glanced sideways, their attention was drawn, they hurriedly got on the road, and even ran away, as if they were being chased by someone.

"Pa!" Suddenly a knight galloped forward, swung his whip, and cursed: "The emperor was afraid that you would make a mistake, so he asked me to send you on your way. I didn't expect that you would dare to slander His Majesty. So, today I will let you

Let’s really hit the road!”

Then, dozens of horsemen came with knives, and there was a burst of killing. The ox cart was filled with blood, dripping from the ox cart and soaking the ground.

"I will bear all the mistakes I made!" The young man said loudly, looking at the stunned expressions of the officials around him.

Sure enough, the gendarmerie came after a moment. They didn't know how to deal with it, but they thought it would be okay to kill those who slandered the monarch.

In the study room of the Wu Mansion in Guangzhou City, hardcover books are displayed on the bookshelves, and the mahogany chairs are covered with silk cushions. The carved windows are covered with green gauze, and the scenery in the garden is looming, like a green watercolor landscape.

painting.

"Hua La La... Hua La La..." The wind blew the leaves outside the window, making sounds from time to time. It seemed like some kind of unique music, which was monotonous than the silk and bamboo orchestra, but more majestic and natural.

Wu Qing was not a scholar, so naturally he couldn't appreciate it. This study still belonged to the previous owner of the mansion. After it was gifted to him by the emperor, he didn't change it. He just left it there and read a few books when he had nothing to do to enrich himself.

There is no doubt that the emperor likes scholars. Even the soldiers need to be literate, so he naturally has to learn how to read and write.

Wu Qing had grown a beard, and at least he looked more mature. At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a cloth robe and a bun came to the side of the screen, cupped his fists and said, "Alang, Chief Li wants to see you! Come and visit."

"What's going on?" As soon as Li Fang came in, he was scolded by Commander Wu. His face was solemn, but he was used to it. No one in the entire Acoustics Department knew about it. As the chief commander, he naturally knew everything.

At least I've sorted it out in my mind, so I don't panic anymore.

"Commander, news came from Yongzhou. The people sent to the 68th Cave to investigate said that many cavemen were found to be connected with the Dali State. They were even secretly recruited and given a lot of weapons and food!"

"It seems that the Dali Kingdom is up to something evil?" When Wu Qing heard the news, not only was he not panicked, he was actually a little excited.
