My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1016: This self-castration knife method, Ying Chengjiao called it cruel! A tiger without claws and few teeth, what is the difference between it and a dog?
If the common people heard Ying Chengjiao's inner roar, they would definitely sneer in response.

How much does backbone weigh?
Can it be compared to the lives of the entire clan? !

Before Tang Min was about to bring out all the handsome men of the clan to accompany Ying Chengjiao, Ying Chengjiao shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

"What a shame to make such a fuss!"

"Do you have any manners of a common people?"

Tang Min, Zhai Rang and other common people quickly suppressed their joy and bowed their hands in unison: "Please punish the crime, Lord Chang'an!"

Looking down at the scene, Ying Chengjiao turned around and sat down with a bored look on his face, and slightly pressed down his right hand: "I have lost interest, please stop the dance!"

"Please sit down and drink together."

Zhai Rang and other common people showed deep regret in their eyes. Tang Min even glared at Zhai Rang fiercely, and then hurriedly returned to his seat, raised his wine cup and said, "It is our fault for not entertaining you well. Please calm down, Lord Chang'an."

"This cup is to welcome Lord Chang'an to Linzi, and to celebrate his victory!"

All the people raised their cups and shouted, "Drink to victory!"

Ying Chengjiao also raised his wine cup and drank from it together.

After putting down the wine cup, Ying Chengjiao put away his unfamiliar dandy look, played with the wine cup and said, "You all respectfully welcome me. I am very happy."

"But I am very unhappy that you are bullying the lower and flattering the upper, and you are taking advantage of the situation."

"Now that the old Qi territory has been newly annexed, Daqin will govern Qi according to the Provisional Law for the New Area."

"The Provisional Law of the New District is the law that I proposed. Its purpose is to save the people from the hesitation and confusion when they first enter the Qin Dynasty, to prevent the Qin Dynasty from punishing them without teaching them, and to give the people enough time to adapt to the Qin Dynasty and its laws."

"Yes! I have heard that you have used the New District Provisional Law to embezzle the common people's land and concealed the land!"

Ying Chengjiao slammed the wine cup on the table, glanced at the people coldly and said, "That's my money!"

The hearts of the people present were all trembling.

No wonder Chang'an Jun has treated them coldly since he entered Linzi, and no wonder Chang'an Jun almost drew his sword just now.

Changan Jun has misunderstood!

Tang Min stood up without hesitation and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Lord Chang'an!"

"I swear to my ancestors that the Tang family has never occupied even one acre of land under the jurisdiction of Linzi County, and has never oppressed even one person in Linzi County."

"The Tang family has nothing but respect for Lord Chang'an, and will never deceive him in the slightest!"

The common people also bowed and confessed.

I'm afraid we are tired of living, so we are planning to take your fiefdom!

Ying Chengjiao sneered coldly: "You may have forgotten that I am not only the Lord of Chang'an of the Great Qin, but also the Second Young Master and the Chief Clan Leader of the Great Qin!"

"The king has treated me well, and I am willing to fight for him through thick and thin!"

"I would like to thank you for not breaking the law, bullying or embezzling people under my rule!"

"There is no private land in Daqin. Every acre of land belongs to Daqin."

"What you have invaded is the territory of our Great Qin! This is the territory that I and my comrades conquered!"

The greed ingrained in their bones drives the people of Qi to seize every opportunity to embezzle benefits.

Even in the battle that determined the survival of Qi, the people of Qi still tried to get their hands on the rewards for the generals, let alone now when the "Provisional Law of the New District" is being implemented.

They have always been like this and they don't think it's a big deal.

But now, they are afraid!

Zhai Rang's heart trembled, and he said resolutely: "Chang'an Jun's lesson is right!"

"Zhai is guilty!"

"Before sunrise tomorrow, the Zhai family of Zhai County must submit a map of all the land owned by the Zhai family. According to the Qin Law, only the land that the Zhai family is entitled to will be taken, and not even one acre more!"

"To atone for our sins, Zhai is willing to give away all the money in our clan!"

If Chang'an Bookstore was the knife that cut off Zhai's future.

Then handing over all the undeserved land and the family’s money would be like a knife cutting off the foundation of the Zhai family!

Without the monopoly on knowledge and the financial income that far exceeded that of ordinary people, Zhai Rang didn't even know what direction the Zhai family would take in ten years.

However, in order to ensure the future of the Zhai family, Zhai Rang had no choice but to castrate himself!

There was no way. Most of the former Qi people killed by Ying Chengjiao were killed during the battle between the two armies. The only reason why Zhai Lin, the son of Zhai Rang, was killed was because Zhai Lin disobeyed Ying Chengjiao's orders and was personally executed by Ying Chengjiao according to military regulations!
Zhai Rang didn't dare to bet whether Ying Chengjiao still remembered Zhai Lin's offense against Ying Chengjiao, so Zhai Rang could only protect Zhai's safety at all costs!
Tang Min and other people were dumbfounded when they heard this.

How can we play when you are so cruel?

As a last resort, Tang Min and other people could only bow their hands and say: "We do the same!"

Ying Chengjiao was also dumbfounded.

Although Ying Chengjiao intended to make things difficult for the people, he never thought of asking them to donate their clan's money.

After all, the land was conquered by Ying Chengjiao and his troops, and according to the Qin Law, it all belonged to the Qin court.

But private property is not! According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the property rights of the people must be deprived first or they must be reduced to slaves before the private property of the people can be deprived. Otherwise, even if the flag on the city wall changes, the people's money is still the people's money.

The way the common people castrated themselves was so cruel that Ying Chengjiao exclaimed it was cruel!
Ying Chengjiao even asked uncertainly: "Are you willing to do this?"

Zhai Rang and other common people bowed their hands in a loud voice: "We only wish for this!"

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly and said, "Since you all have this intention, it is difficult for me to refuse."

"You can transport all the money you want to donate to the Linzi County Government to help Linzi's various businesses."

"We won't force this matter." The people said solemnly: "Yes!"

Seeing that this approach was blocked, Ying Chengjiao changed direction and continued to ask, "I have heard that even though the sons of your clans have become commoners in the Qin Empire, they still spend their days feasting and drinking on the boats, not engaging in production, and not even doing corvée labor?"

"If I remember correctly, you are all commoners now. How can you resist the imperial court's conscription?"

It was Zhai Rang who first raised his hands and said, "Tomorrow, I will order all the adults in my clan to go to the county government and apply to serve the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Chengjiao was slightly surprised: "All the adults in the clan?!"

In Ying Chengjiao's view, as long as these big families were required to perform labor service as stipulated in the Qin Law, it would be a huge torture and hardship for the common people.

Ying Chengjiao never thought of forcing these people and their entire families to perform corvée labor.

Besides, this is not legal!

Zhai Rang gritted his teeth and made up his mind to put himself on the line, saying, "All adults, male or female, including me!"

Common people might die if they performed corvée labor, but the children of wealthy families would at most suffer some hardship.

Those who are literate and wealthy will still be treated preferentially even if they go to the grassroots level.

Tang Min and the others wanted to cry but had no tears, but no one backed down. They all bowed and said, "We do the same!"

Ying Chengjiao clenched his wine cup tightly, and a cold voice came out from between his teeth: "You are all common people, you have no right to own servants!"

"Having servants privately is an illegal act!"

Zhai Rang promised without hesitation: "Tomorrow, I will dismiss all the servants in the mansion!"

Ying Chengjiao was completely dumbfounded.

All the challenges he faced in terms of dignity, body, money, land, knowledge, power, etc. were in vain.

From what angle can I force these people to rebel?

Is it so difficult to be a bad guy these days?

Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but ask: "Don't you have any resentment in your hearts?"

Zhai Rang, Tang Min and other common people felt nervous.

Bai Qi has only been dead for more than 20 years. Who doesn't know how Bai Qi died?

The reason why Bai Qi was sentenced to death was because he had resentment in his heart!

Moreover, you are sitting in the main seat, how dare we feel any resentment?
All the people showed their best acting skills, looked at Ying Chengjiao with the most honest and obedient eyes, and shouted sincerely: "We only wish to lead the horse and stirrup for Lord Chang'an!"

Resentment?
nonexistent!

As long as you spare my life, you will be our father-in-law from now on!
-
At the same time, outside Linzi City.

Ying Fusu looked back at Linzi City every few steps, his eyes full of worry.

Seeing this, Chunyu Yue comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, my lord. Chang'an Jun is a great general who has fought in all directions."

"Chang'an Jun now has a thousand family soldiers at his side, and there are also 1,500 county soldiers, prefecture soldiers, and bandit-killing troops at Chang'an Jun's disposal."

"Chang'an Jun is safe and secure!"

Ying Fusu sighed softly: "When my uncle was the same age as me, he had already entered Han to lobby for the Qin Dynasty and returned to the country with a hundred miles of territory, and was granted Chang'an Township as his fief."

"And today, my uncle has once again entered a dangerous situation. I am not only unable to share my father's worries like my uncle, but I have become a burden to him. I need him to send more people to protect me."

"This young master deeply hates his own powerlessness!"

Chunyu Yue, Yuan Shou and others were unable to respond to this.

Even though they had high hopes for Ying Fusu, they still did not think that Ying Fusu was qualified to be compared with Ying Chengjiao - whether in terms of civil or military affairs!
Ying Fusu did not expect to get an answer from the teachers, and asked with concern: "Teachers, do you think that your uncle's plan will be successful?"

Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and said, "Chang'an Jun, this strategy will surely succeed!"

"Tang Min, Zhai Rang and other scholars are all great scholars of the time, well-read, of noble character and upright!"

"If the Lord of Chang'an threatens and humiliates you, you will be angry."

"Then, Chang'an Jun will have a reason to draw his sword and fight!"

Chun Yuyue shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that this is really not what a gentleman does."

"Chang'an Jun governed Qi for Qin but tarnished the spirit of a sage. What a pity! What a tragedy!"

The worry in Ying Fusu's eyes grew even more intense.

However, Qi Diaoli sneered, "Don't worry, sir. Linzi will be safe tonight."

Ying Fusu hurriedly asked: "May I ask Qi Diaozi, why is this happening?"

Qi Diaoli said with disdain: "Everyone thinks that Tang Min and others are great scholars, but Qi Diao believes that they are nothing but pests of the country!"

"What he said and did was like a great scholar, but it was only because the title of a great scholar made it easier for him to gain benefits."

"Chang'an Jun has come with great momentum and blood and rain. As long as these rats can survive, they will never have the courage to have even the slightest dispute with Chang'an Jun!"

Chunyu Yue was about to refute it, but Ying Fusu was stunned and asked: "If so, uncle will return empty-handed today, right?"

"If that's the case, how could Father agree to Uncle's plan?"

Qi Diao Li chuckled and said, "Sir, how do you know whether the king ordered Chang Anjun to come to Qi to capture and kill the tigers or to deprive them of their claws and fangs?"

"A tiger without claws and teeth is no different from a dog to the Qin Empire!"
