After the delicate beauty salted fish, the sick and weak prince kicked the door to coax

Chapter 260

Qushui County is a large county, and there are more than a dozen large gentry families with more than [-] mu of land, among which the Peng family is the leader, with more than [-] mu of land.

The ancestors of the Peng family had a third-rank official, but in this generation, there is also a sixth-rank official in the court.

However, this Peng family has been operating for generations in Qushui County for a hundred years. It is the most powerful family in the area and has accumulated a lot of wealth and connections.

In addition to these large households, there are countless small landlords whose families have thousands of acres, and land annexation and occupation are extremely serious.

This also caused the people in Qushui County to have few fields to plant. As long as they encountered a slight natural disaster, they would have no food to eat at all, so a large number of people starved to death and many refugees.

Because of this, the refugees here hated these big noble families and landlords very much. The previous rebels had killed more than a dozen landlords, distributed their food, and distributed their land property to their subordinates.

However, a big family like the Peng family did not let the rebels succeed in a short period of time because they hired many masters of the rivers and lakes to protect the courtyard.

Of course, there were also some who took the initiative to pay food to please the rebels. These big households survived, but they also lived in fear.

Therefore, when they learned that the imperial court had come, and that the Empress herself had brought people to suppress the bandits, they were shocked, but also had a sense of salvation.

Of course, more doubts, how come so fast!

They were so confused because they didn't see the Golden Dragon spaceship.

These people did not live in the old Huangli. They knew that the emperor had changed, but they just heard the news yesterday that King Ning had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor ten days ago.

They have people in the court and know King Ning well, so they judged that the new emperor should find a way to calm the chaos, but they never expected that today will arrive, and it is still in the middle of the night!

Oh, my dear, this efficiency is amazing!

Could it be that the new emperor was preparing to quell the chaos before he ascended the throne?

They really didn't feel very happy, but very disturbed, after all, their own hands were not very clean.

Before being summoned by the queen, they were still thinking about how to cry miserably or take money to pay tribute, and coax the queen away happily.

However, they didn't know how naive their thoughts were until they actually met the queen!

Because the first thing the queen said when she saw them was,

"If you want to survive, you can take the initiative to hand over [-]% of the property, otherwise, I don't mind announcing to the outside world that you all died at the hands of the rebels."

"Empress, even if you are the queen, you can't confiscate our property like this. We are not rebels, we are victims!"

"Yes! So and so, where is the law of the country! Your Majesty is not afraid that the news will spread and chill the hearts of the nobles all over the world!"

"Your Majesty, you are a girl after all, you can't make a big mistake just because you are in a hurry to relieve the disaster!"

……

These patriarchs immediately objected violently, their words were fierce, and they did not forget to threaten and mock Gu Xi.

They can be regarded as a powerful party, and they are used to being the top snakes in the local area, so how can they really put Gu Xi in their eyes.

What's more, they have no news, and they don't know about Gu Xi's many methods and many backers who protect his shortcomings and are tough.

"Mother, these are thorns, why don't you let me have a heart-to-heart talk with them." Prince An said coldly.

"I don't need you. You have other things to do." Gu Xi shook his head, ignoring the angry people, and said to the imperial guards beside him,
"Take them to the spaceship, find the patriarchs of the family, and ask them to come forward and talk to these people. If they still refuse to cooperate, kill them."

Everyone shuddered and felt cold all over, but they felt that this young and beautiful queen in front of them deliberately frightened them.

Therefore, they still held their heads high, expressing that they would never give in.

The imperial guards looked at them like idiots, and unceremoniously urged them to follow quickly.

Hmph, if you dare not listen to the empress's words, I will scare you to death in a short while!
-
As the largest family in Qushui County, the Peng family was naturally regarded as the leader by others.

These people followed behind the guards, winking at each other, expressing that they would follow the Peng family's winks for a while, and hugged tightly, not giving the queen's people a chance to break them.

This is their usual tactic against the imperial court!

As long as they are united enough, those officials have nothing to do with them, because they dare not offend them to death.

However, these small thoughts almost disappeared when they saw the Golden Dragon spaceship.

"This, is this a golden dragon? How could there be a golden dragon?!" The voice of the head of the Peng family was split, and the person trembled.

The others were not much better either, their eyeballs were about to pop out.

"Hehe, this is the Golden Dragon Spaceship of the Empress, please hurry up, everyone." The imperial guard sneered.

The head of the Peng family and others...

They don't understand, they are afraid.

Why does something like the Golden Dragon Spaceship belong to the empress, and why does it exist in this world?
This is not right!

But looking at the guards of the imperial guards who took it for granted and were still proud, the Patriarch of the Peng family and the others fell silent again.

So, it's them who are wrong, not the world? !
After they stepped up the ladder and entered the spaceship with a deep step and a shallow step, they felt even worse.

They even feel that they are not awake anymore, and hallucinations appear before their eyes.

Everything in front of them is beyond their inherent cognition!
Then, they were brought in front of Wang Xie and other Patriarchs in a dazed manner.

Compared with these top aristocratic families that have existed for hundreds of years, the Peng family and others are not enough to look at at all, even upstarts are not qualified.

Therefore, when they learned that the other party was the Patriarch of a top-level family, the Patriarch of the Peng Family and others were very respectful and in awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, the Patriarchs of the Peng family are confident that the other party and themselves are in the same boat, in the same interest chain, and they are definitely on their side and oppose the queen's land allocation!

However, in fact...

"You group of short-sighted things, you only have that little field in your eyes. The current goals of me and other Patriarchs are the stars and the sea, and I am ashamed to be with you people!"

The Patriarch of the Wang Family said impatiently to the Patriarch of the Peng Family and the others,
"Let me just advise you, the empress wants [-]% of the land, so hurry up and give it to me happily, and thank you sincerely.

Alright, let's go, don't delay me playing games, no, it's practice! "

"Look at this spaceship, look at this facility, what's the use of guarding that little field, the point is to please the empress!
Make your empress happy. From now on, what your empress reveals from her fingers will benefit you endlessly. "

This is what the Patriarch of the Xie family advised them to say.

"My Xiao family has decided to take the initiative to hand over [-]% of the family's property!"

"Hehe, brother Xiao, you only hand in [-]%, and our Li family has decided to hand in [-]%!"

"Our Liu family relies on shops, so we just need to save some land property, and hand over [-]%!!"

Xie Xiaoliu and the other Patriarchs couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of fierceness in their eyes.

Come on, roll, let's see who rolls to death!
The head of the Peng family and others...

This, this is completely different from what they thought!
