Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 74, Collecting money and land

Kofu
Jiang Wanqiu was so busy that she was sweating profusely. She went through the house three times but never entered. She led the criminal department, put aside their past suspicions, and cooperated with Dali Temple and the city guard to maintain the law and order of Tianwang City.

At dusk, when the setting sun was like blood, Jiang Wangsheng was drinking tea and eating fruits in the small courtyard, listening to a charming little lady singing a song.

Ever since Jiang Kongliu went south, Jiang Wanqiu has been so busy that he has been so busy all day long. In his spare time, he has a look at the information sent by Tianji Pavilion.

"Wang Sheng!" Jiang Wanqiu walked into the yard out of breath.

Sister-in-law Song Qiyue heard the movement and brought over the porridge that had been reheated many times.

"Qiyue, you're so kind." Jiang Wanqiu's face was brimming with happiness, holding Song Qiyue's hand and staring into her charming eyes.

Jiang Wangsheng on the opposite side coughed, "Brother, how is the situation now?"

"The refugees have been brought under control. Although Tianwang City has a vast area, there are orders from above to prevent the refugees from entering the city. They are now placed outside the city." Jiang Wanqiu replied while drinking porridge.

Jiang Wangsheng didn't change his face, and didn't ask any more questions, because he knew that he wouldn't get any useful information from Jiang Wanqiu.

Jiang Wanqiu talked to Jiang Wangsheng about some family issues.
"Hey, fellow, what are you doing up front?"

"You don't know? You started queuing up when you were ugly today." One person looked around and said in a low voice, "Taxes and military service are heavy, and everyone is trying to find a way. There is a nobleman here who collects land, and the price is not cheap."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, take your land deed and exchange it for a lot of money. Let's get through this period first."

"It's reasonable and reasonable."

In the depths of the alley, there is a long queue, all of them are farmers, with ragged clothes and disheveled faces, holding the land deed tightly in their hands, and stretching their necks to check the situation ahead from time to time.

A man with a armor and a sword patrolled around, shouting: "If someone asks what you are doing, do you know how to answer?"

"I know, I know, this place sells wine." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks replied with a smile.

"It's good to know. After you go back, don't make any publicity. After this period of time has passed, I will sell the land back to you cheaply." The inspector swayed and explained.

"Yes, my lord."

An old farmer wearing a straw hat, dragging his half-crippled legs, asked in a low voice: "This official, who is the noble man who is reclaiming land?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't!" The inspector said viciously.

In the main room, an accountant wrote down the transaction amount and the name of the person, while the other checked the land deed.

From morning to night, the land deeds from the transaction were piled up half a foot high.

The furnishings in the main room are ordinary, with only tables and chairs.There are six people in all directions wearing strong and sharp.

All the people who took the money were overjoyed, and finally they could pay back the taxes and settle the money for military service.

Another alley in the market.

A group of people rushed in, and after a while, they returned with a full load of food.

Tianwang City is peaceful and peaceful, but there are turbulent waves hidden beneath it.

public office

Concubine Hui was killed, the queen was exposed, and the harem was in chaos, but the two most powerful forces in the harem collapsed.

The eldest prince took the initiative to use harsh methods to suppress the other concubines who wanted to make trouble, so that the entire harem would be happy and happy, and would no longer extend their hands to interfere in the government.

Due to the former emperor's affection, although the empress was in the first place, her treatment was like that of a cold palace. The emperor of Chu no longer went there, but often visited some unremarkable women.

Concubine Zhen is the most favored woman by the Emperor Chu now. She is in full swing, and other veteran concubines have to avoid her.

Concubine Zhen's father was named Duke Jing.

This person is well-read in poetry and books, and quite talented. After Chen Bangzhou was dismissed from office, he emerged from the water like a dragon, and gradually gathered the grassroots officials in Tianwang City.

Duke Jing was wearing a bright red robe, and was sitting on the grand master's chair with bold swords. Two beauties beside him waited on him. One fed him candied fresh fruits, and the other offered him fresh and tender tea.

Duke Jing just looked at the sky, the sun was setting and night was falling.

A few stars remained in the dim sky, like the eyes of the former emperor and a few veterans, watching Xi Chu's trajectory.

A carriage drove up, and a dozen naked-chested strong men came out of the courtyard and carried large boxes into the Duke's Mansion.

Duke Jing walked over slowly and gave the leader a look.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's absolutely clean!"

Duke Jing opened the box.

A pale moon hangs in the sky, but the courtyard has a light comparable to a silver moon.

A large amount of silver came into view, Duke Jing smiled happily, and said in a deep voice, "Well done."

"My lord, tomorrow"

"Continue, I've already taken care of it." Duke Jing tied up his sleeves and told him, "Be sure to keep a low profile and stay away from the dignitaries in the court, so as not to let them notice."

"Don't worry, my lord, our people have been patrolling the streets, and whenever a person in unusual clothes approaches, we will immediately put them away." The leader smiled wickedly.

Duke Jing said with satisfaction: "Good job, after the work is done, you will have a share."

"Thank you sir."

"By the way, refugees outside the city, how did I let you contact me?"

The leader said: "Those unruly people don't know good and bad, and they are scared out of their wits when they are asked to join the army, let alone a private army."

Killing intent flashed in Jing Guogong's eyes, "We still have to suppress it! Winter is coming soon, let them feel the coldness of the world!"

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"After two more days of doing this, I will stop immediately. Those who need it will be finished after the end." Duke Jing made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The leader understood and lowered his head deeply, "The subordinates obey."

"I will operate secretly to drive out the refugees outside the city. Your task is to bring your people in and be their leader."

The leader was stunned, "This"

"I'll let people pretend to be people from the imperial court, and cooperate with the inside and outside. It's just right, just use these few people, and get rid of them with unscrupulous hands." Duke Jing's voice was as cold as ice.

"I understand."

"Take them to the city in the west, and then I will contact you to explain the details." Jing Guogong said flatly.

Not long after, a special box was brought in. After opening, it was full of title deeds.

Duke Jing's eyes were full of greed, he took a deep breath to calm down, and waved his hands, "You guys go first. I have already arranged the work for tomorrow outside the city."

"Yes, I will live up to my lord's entrustment."

In the main room, Duke Jing's trusted subordinates carried the box in and hid it.

A person came over, "Are you doing this kind of thing without telling me?"

Jing Guogong said: "I just want to give Mr. a surprise."

"Surprise indeed, but where did you get the stuff?"

Duke Jing stroked his beard, "It's the grain and grass sent to the northern border. That old guy leaked the news by blowing the wind from his pillow, and my people took the opportunity to snatch it away."

"Do you know, this is a serious crime of extermination!" the man roared in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter, the Northern Territory has fallen, the most troublesome thing is the King of the North and Jiang Kongliu, and now there is a war in the East." Duke Jing glanced at the man, "Even if he knew, he didn't have the extra energy to investigate."

"Can"

"I have erased all the clues. No one in the world knows about this matter except you and me. As for the specific details... Hehe, only I know."

The man fell silent.

"I have today, thanks to my master's advice and advice. I am not an ungrateful person." Duke Jing patted the man on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "I said that I want to avenge my husband, and it is definitely not just a moment of anger. .”

The man suffocated, and bowed deeply to Duke Jing.

Jiang Wangsheng stared at the night sky, like a huge black hole, devouring everything.

The few stars that were still shining were also dimmed.

A flash of sword light streaked across the sky, like a rooster singing the world white.
