Chapter 851: Various forces gathered in Zhoukang County
Chapter 851 All forces gather in Zhoukang County
"Speaking of it, the people in the land of Qinghe are asking for hardships, and they can't blame others."
Although Chu Nanzhi knew the helplessness of the people in his heart, he still pretended to be annoyed and sighed: "Just to avoid the imperial court's taxes, he was willing to hand over his land to nobles to take care of it. The court questioned the crime, but after all, it is not reconciled to not being able to get back their own fields."
"Who said it wasn't."
Sun Huai also sighed bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, if you ask yourself, brother Yu still sympathizes with these poor people. If they were not forced to help, who would want to transfer their hard-working foundation to others."
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject: "But to be fair, some untouchables don't know how to be grateful. All these years, relying on the protection of noble families, the taxes they evaded are enough to buy their ancestral property, but now someone is urging them to How can there be such a cheap thing to break away from the nobles and stand on the top of the mountain."
"People go to high places and water flows to low places. Who wouldn't want to make their life better."
Chu Nanzhi now has a clear understanding of the general situation in Tanzhou, and the next step is to find a way to break the deadlock.
Since the imperial court has implemented the New Deal, the nobles are unwilling to return the occupied fields to the people and prefer to raise money to make up for the heavy taxes paid to the imperial court. It can be seen that they have ulterior motives.
She has to figure out whether it is Ji Huaizhang's ambition or some people's thoughts.
Since someone has already hit the muzzle of the gun, let's just use this person for surgery.
Thinking of Mu Liulang who left in arrogance, Chu Nanzhi raised his voice and shouted to Ma Laifu outside: "Go to Zhoukang County in the west of the city."
Seeing that she changed her itinerary without warning, Sun Huai was shocked and asked: "My dear brother, why are you doing this? We haven't seen the fields in the south of the city yet?"
"Shopkeeper Sun is trusting me with all his heart. I still have nothing to believe. Right now, I am more concerned about the six counties in the west of the city. Let's go there first and have a look."
As soon as Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, Sang Qi also reminded with some concern: "Brother, we came out in a hurry and didn't have any preparations. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to go directly to Zhoukang County."
"It doesn't matter, we must go here without any danger."
Chu Nanzhi said with a big grin.
Hearing the deep meaning in Sang Qi's words, he had offended Na Mu Liulang just now, and I'm afraid it will not be smooth sailing.
But she felt like a bright mirror in her heart, and her trip was just as a bait. If she couldn't stir up conflicts between the imperial court and the Ji family and nobles, she wouldn't be safe anywhere.
But there is one thing, she can be sure that the person behind the scenes doesn't want her life to be in danger. If she dies in Tanzhou, even if she succeeds in provoking Ji Huaizhang's rebellion, the Ji family will have no chance of winning.
Persuading the two of them, Chu Nanzhi asked the driver to speed up, and finally arrived at Zhoukang County after driving for a day.
Find an inn in the county town and just rested, Chu Nanzhi asked the innkeeper to prepare meals, and was eating with Sang Qi and Sun Huai, when suddenly the sound of galloping horseshoes sounded again.
The women's screams and children's cries mixed together, making Chu Nanzhi upset.
She was about to get up, when a familiar shouting voice suddenly reached her ears:
"You **** who don't know what's good and what's wrong, the prefect gave grace, and even the governor is trying to find a way for you to survive. You still want to flee with your family without knowing your life. You simply don't pay attention to labor and capital. Let you taste the fate of betraying labor and capital."
Recognizing that it was Mu Liulang's voice, Chu Nanzhi rushed out in one stride.
Seeing that he was holding a bow and arrow in his hand and aiming at a thin woman in the distance, he shouted angrily, "Stop."
Hearing the shout, Mu Liulang turned his head, and by the light of the torch, he saw clearly that it was the big shopkeeper of the Mu family that he met outside Dangyang City, and he immediately became angry: "It's really haunting, my surname is Mu, I But to give you enough face, you didn't go to the south of the city to look at the fields and chased you to Zhoukang County, what do you really think I dare not take you?"
Chu Nanzhi was vigilant about the bow and arrow in his hand, looked around, and saw a group of women and children who had been cornered by his strong men, crying sadly.
She went forward desperately, stood in front of everyone and shouted loudly: "If these people are guilty, they will be judged by the government. Did the imperial court grant you prosperity and wealth just to let you spend your time to judge the lives of others?"
"You, a lowly businessman, want to teach me a lesson."
Mu Liulang kept sneering: "I really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, I wanted to keep you for a few more days, but now it seems that you are impatient and take care of labor and capital's business, then today I will fulfill you and let you stay with them Keep company."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a scolding voice from a distance: "What a loud tone."
Chu Nanzhi heard the reputation and looked over, and saw a group of plain-clothed teams pouring out from all corners of the street.
Taking a closer look, the leader is none other than his old partner Li Sanmu.
The two looked at each other happily, and Chu Nanzhi worried that he would reveal his identity, so she quickly shook her head at him.
After Li Sanmu came to Tanzhou, he had been hiding in Dangyang City and kept a close eye on the movements. When he learned that the queen was buying land as a business traveler, he immediately understood her intentions and said casually:
"My old grandpa has also shown his face in front of the new emperor. Even if he has no position, but because of his urgency and kindness, he has helped the new emperor many times. It is not difficult to join your Mu family in front of the new emperor. Mu Liulang If you dare to hurt my big shopkeeper today, my Zhao family caravan will never let it go."
"There is even a helper."
Mu Liulang looked around and saw that there were all killers holding weapons. Only then did he realize why the shopkeeper Mu Da was so confident, and shook his head with contempt:
"A mere Mr. Zhao, even a humble businessman dares to talk about court affairs, and each of you is even more humble. However, a dog raised by the Zhao family is still so brazen, knowing that the sky of Tanzhou and the land of the Dahe Empire are Do you rely on who supports it? It depends on labor and capital, relying on the peace bought by the nobles and warriors with their flesh and blood. It's wrong to kill."
Just as Zhang Yang's domineering words fell, the sound of horseshoes was heard everywhere, and the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking completely broke the tranquility of the night.
"Really, then I want to see if Mu Liulang has this ability today."
Following a magnetic voice came, from a distance, Chu Nanzhi saw Ji Rongheng riding on a tall horse.
Dangyang City's garrison followed closely behind, and the neighing of horseshoes resounded through the sky.
Arriving in front of Chu Nanzhi and Li Sanmu, Ji Rongheng reined in the horse, and was startled when he recognized Li Sanmu, it was obvious that he was protecting a short bearded man, but he was extremely surprised.
While dismounting from the horse and looking at the two of them, it was hard to see through Li Sanmu's identity, so he turned to Mu Liulang: "You have no law, bully the weak, and bully the good. Can people rule you? Today, this general will take down you, a vicious person, for the court."
"I see who dares, who dares to touch a hair of my son today, the slave family will definitely make him unable to leave Zhoukang County."
At this time, a middle-aged woman in silk came oncoming, surrounded by a huge group of guards holding sharp knives. The three-story enclosure was impenetrable.
