Great Lawyer

Chapter 798 Cruel and merciless ([-])

"Stolen?" Liu Qian grabbed the boy and asked, "Can you explain clearly, what is robbed?"

His salt field is not a watermelon, anyone can rob it.

"Last night, suddenly, a group of people of unknown origin rushed into the saltworks and killed all of our people. Even shopkeeper Lu was also killed by them."

"Now the Liu family's flag is planted on the salt field, and the Liu family has already taken over."

Liu Gan asked incredulously, "Du, killed them all?"

"Yes!" The little servant was afraid after thinking about it, and cried, "I originally planned to set off at night, so I planned to go to the city to buy something for my daughter-in-law. I didn't expect that when I went back to get things, I just... saw those things. People are killing people."

"The little one didn't dare to go in, so he rushed back to report the news on his horse."

Thinking about the situation at that time, the boy cried loudly.

Liu Gan covered his face and began to cry: "How can I explain the lives of more than 100 people to their families?"

"This is Ming Qiang!" Liu Yongxu's four brothers also stood at the door with pale faces.

Liu Gan suddenly came to his senses, pulled the servant and asked, "You came back directly? Did you not go to Mr. Gao?"

Mr. Gao, who is related to the way they went, is the wife and brother of Lord Zheng's lieutenant general. His surname is Gao and his name is Liao.

"I did. The younger one rode a horse and went looking for it. Who knew Mr. Gao didn't see him at all. It was his regular follower who told me that they couldn't handle this kind of thing. They couldn't go and talk to Liu for the sake of our salt farm. The family turned their faces."

Liu Qian understood that usually the other party would help with trivial matters, but now when it comes to major matters that require a fight, the other party doesn't care.

Not incapable, but unnecessary.

"My lord, Mr. Du, I really... You really expected it."

"I'm going to visit Shenglong." Liu Gan said, "There are so many lives, I will bring them back no matter what."

"Otherwise, I won't have the face to stay in Zhen'an any longer, and someone will poke my spine."

Liu Gan seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, he stood up in a panic and fell down again, Liu Yongxu went to support him, and said, "Father, I will go if I want to go. I will lead the horse out and walk there myself."

"Don't go." Mrs. Liu rushed out of the house and shouted, "If you go now, you will die."

"However, so many people died for our family. If we don't go, we can't feel at ease in this life." Liu Gandao, "Our Liu family has done business for several generations, and we have never lost a life. They do things for us. We can't kill people!"

"At the beginning, my father said that when you do business, you do business, and you must be clean in your heart and hands. People who are not clean can't walk a long way."

Mrs. Liu understood Liu Qian, but she also felt sorry for her son, she shook her head and said, "I understand, but now the salt field has been taken away, what can you do if you go?"

"I have to live up to my conscience." Liu Gan said.

The family started arguing at the door.

Du Jiuyan and King Gui looked at each other, both of them had serious expressions, King Gui coughed and said, "Gu Qingshan!"

"Yes!" Gu Qingshan said.

"Take a young servant of the Liu family who is familiar with the situation, and find out the ins and outs of the matter."

Gu Qingshan should be.

Liu Gan stopped crying, looked at King Gui excitedly, and heard King Gui say, "Quickly point to someone you know."

"I, I'll go." Liu Yongkang said, "I'm not as familiar with anyone as I am. I'll go with General Gu."

Liu Yongkang followed Gu Qingshan, and the two rushed to Shenglong.

Everyone sat down, and the atmosphere was dull.

"The people over there are all from Zhen'an?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Liu Qianying said, "They all find people from here, some of them are all over there, and some of them have inherited their father's career for several generations."

"We all know each other, even if you are a handyman, you are also acquaintances."

Liu Gan sighed and beat the head of the kang.

"It's not your fault that they are cruel and merciless." Du Jiuyan said, "You should first think about how to arrange for these people's future generations, so that when things happen, you will not be in the right place."

Liu Gan should be.

So many lives were ruined because of some people's selfish desires, Du Jiuyan was very angry.

On the second day, the Zhou family was dealing with the descendants of the saltworks craftsmen. They promised to lose money on a household by household basis, explained the situation door to door, and each family promised to bring back the remains of those who died no matter what.

Du Jiuyan didn't like Liu Qian's behavior at first, after all, a father who could raise a girl like Liu Rong would not be too honest.

But the facts surprised her, which also explained why the Liu family's reputation in Zhen'an was so good, and the business handed down from their ancestors not only did not weaken, but became more and more stable.

Many things happen for a reason.

Five days later, Gu Qingshan came back from Annan, tanned, with a tired face, sitting in the main hall with serious eyes.

Du Jiuyan poured him tea and asked, "What's going on over there?"

"Not good, the power of the family is too great, and the relationship is too intertwined, so it cannot be shaken." Gu Qingshan said, "A total of [-] people died in the salt field, including women, children and the elderly. The corpses were randomly thrown in the mass graves. No one dared to ask."

"Now it seems that they are looking at the Liu family saltworks only because Liu Gan is from the Great Zhou, and they dare not act rashly. This time, it seems that Liu Yunsheng, the illegitimate son of Lord Liu, acted on his own."

"Although he is a concubine, he is highly valued by Master Liu, so he can do things lawlessly."

Du Jiuyan asked: "After the incident happened, didn't there be any reaction? The Annan government didn't respond either?"

"No. Everyone turned a blind eye, as if a hundred people died." Gu Qingshan felt chilled when he thought about it, "Liu Gan's relationship with Mr. Zheng's family was originally an errand, and he didn't have the guts to intervene."

"Looks like I'm used to it." Du Jiuyan put the teacup away, frowned and said, "Human life is nothing to them."

Song Jiyi said angrily: "Then, Li, Li Xiao, no, don't care, do you care?"

"Ji Yu's letter mentions that even though Li Xiao became king, he also has means, but facing this kind of powerful family that has been entrenched for hundreds of years, all the effort is like a mayfly shaking a tree, a drop in the bucket." Du Jiu He said, "If you don't uproot the disease and eliminate it, everything you do will treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Then, what should we do then." Dou Rongxing asked, "Do you want to send troops?"

Everyone looked at King Gui.

"Send troops, of course, but it's not necessary." King Gui said, "Using our people to fight for them, life and death are not worth it."

"However, the remains of those employed workers in Liu's Saltworks can be brought back."

He said, looked at Gu Qingshan and asked: "You write a letter and send it to Master Liu, and ask him to personally send back the [-] people from the salt field, and then send Liu Yunsheng to Zhen'an to receive punishment for his crime."

"Yes." Gu Qingshan was also very angry, got up and wanted to leave.

Du Jiuyan stopped them, waved his hand and said, "You can bring the corpse back, but if you want Liu Yunsheng to accept the crime, I'm afraid you can't."

Gui Wang frowned and said: "Do you think that the other party will plead guilty, but will let others take the blame?"

"Yeah. It's not that Liu Yunsheng committed suicide himself. It's too easy for them to cover up." Du Jiuyan said, "And, judging from the appearance of Majiao, they seem to be familiar with this kind of crime."

For Xiao Zhiyuan, the other party wants to use horse horns to cover his crimes.Knowing that there was nothing to blame for Xiao Zhiyuan's matter, they gave up on Xiao Zhiyun and killed him.

"The nobles like this kind of thing the most." Lu Nianzong said, "During the Dali Dynasty, we were also princes who caused chaos. Those rich children killed people like hemp, and even played with the lives of hunters."

"No one will sue, even if someone sues, they can just send a servant to the Yamen to plead guilty."

"This kind of thing can't be found out."

After Lu Nianzong finished speaking, everyone nodded.

I don't understand today's affairs, but history books are a mirror.Dynasties have changed for thousands of years, but in fact they still change the soup but not the medicine.

"Uncle is right." Du Jiuyan looked at him and asked, "Can the sage have a solution?"

Lu Nianzong shook his head, and said: "The disappearance of the clans and gentry of the imperial court was only after hundreds of years of overthrow and purge, and the pattern of the Great Zhou Dynasty today."

"Wanting to change this pattern in a short period of time is just wishful thinking."

Qian Daoan nodded: "Dali Dynasty Taizu opened the dynasty for 40 years, Zhu Gong proposed the imperial examination to select talents, and then gradually broke the gentry pattern. As far as I know, when the former Lord Zheng was in power, Annan also set up the imperial examination modeled after the Dali Dynasty .”

"It has been established." Zhou Xiao sarcastically said, "But it is in name only."

Those in power in the court are still elected by the dignitaries or crony relatives.

Du Jiuyan thought of what Ji Yuxin said.Just listening to it like this makes the scalp numb and the whole body weak.

When the entire society, and even the oppressed people, have become accustomed to it and no longer resist, then this society is completely irreparable.

"If you can't go from the top, then go from the bottom!" Du Jiuyan said.

Everyone looked at her, not understanding what she meant.

"You plan to mobilize the people and overthrow the situation?" King Gui immediately understood what Du Jiuyan meant.

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"It's even more difficult." Qian Dao'an said, "We have always governed the country, and there is no reason for the people to reason. It's just letting people fish for meat and accepting it."

"Unless you can mobilize thousands of people and unite the whole country." Zhou Xiao said, "This is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go, and it is as difficult as climbing the sky."

Du Jiuyan leaned on the chair: "If you don't try, who knows the result."

"Besides," she said, frowning slightly, "This isn't Da Zhou, if it really won't work, I'll just pat my ass and get the hell out of here."

Lu Nianzong raised his hand and said, "I, I, I will help you!"

"Yanyan, I have always had a big dream!"

Dou Rongxing said: "Uncle, isn't your big dream to marry a wife?"

"This is another one." Lu Nianzong laughed and said, "There is another one, governing the country!"

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Dreaming too high is unrealistic.

Du Jiuyan patted Lu Nianzong on the shoulder, and said, "Dabai Ya is talented, from now on we will walk together through wind and rain and work together."

"En!" Lu Nianzong clenched his fists and said, "Create a prosperous world."

King Gui coughed, and said, "What's the matter, do you want to help Annan grow stronger so that he can invade Da Zhou?"

"We must have self-confidence. How aggressive is it to invade such a small place? Besides, they will not be able to turn over in a hundred years. If they can improve people's livelihood by themselves, the monarch is already very capable." Du Jiuyan road.

"Wait a minute," Pei Ying asked with a smile, "Speaking so much, are we going to Annan? But the imperial edict hasn't arrived yet."

　Change the map tomorrow and officially enter Annan!
　　Look at how Jiuye encircled the city from the countryside and reformed step by step.

　　Annan was Vietnam in history, but it is all fiction here, so I will not delve into it. After all, my ability is limited and I dare not follow history.

　　However, I did check their history, and it is true that after hundreds of years of separatist regimes, the "king" is a puppet, and "Master Zheng" is in power.The first time I checked it carefully, some places are amazing.
