In the blink of an eye, it had been seven days since Liu Feng occupied the city. In these short seven days, the entire Jiuyang City was under martial law. In addition to the black armored troops patrolling everywhere, as well as the factory guards who were elusive in flying fish uniforms, the people hid at home in fear and did not dare to show their heads.

Despite this, there were still some short-term fighting and screams coming from time to time in the city.

On the morning of the eighth day, the martial law was finally lifted, and the people in the city began to take to the streets one after another.

At this time, at the door of the government office, various carriages were already parked.

In the back hall, a group of people wearing brocade robes or silk satin were whispering.

"Have you heard that? The Xiao family was also confiscated. The whole family is now on the streets, and even eating is a problem."

"The Xiao family is pretty good, at least they saved their lives. Not only was the Ma family confiscated, but the whole family was killed."

"So serious?"

"Isn't it? Now everyone is in panic all day long, fearing that their family will be confiscated and exterminated."

“I think…………”

······

"The lord is here!"

With a loud roar outside, the back hall suddenly became quiet, and they all lowered their eyebrows and didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

Liu Feng led a group of Jinyiwei in from outside and sat directly on the main seat.

"Meet King Liu!"

For a moment, the people who were originally sitting around stood up and bowed.

Liu Feng waved his hand and said with a kind face: "Everyone doesn't have to be too polite, everyone gets up and talks."

"Thank you, King."

At this time, those people dared to look up at the new head of the mansion in front of them. When they saw that Liu Feng was so young, a trace of shock flashed across many people's faces.

"After learning that the king has entered Jiuyang City, our head specially ordered the old man to send me a congratulations, and please accept it with a smile."

An old man stood up first and delivered a gift slip with both hands.

Yan Fei took it and sent it to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng opened it and saw that the gift list was very long. There were a lot of pearls and gems, various antiques, beauties, etc., and when they turned to the end, there was a 100,000 taels of silver on it.

The total value of this gift list is about 200,000 taels, but he knew very well that although 200,000 taels are an astronomical figure that ordinary people can never pray for in their lifetime, it is just a drop in the bucket for the Wu family, a big family with a history of hundreds of years.

"Well, the head of the Wu family is intent."

Liu Feng closed the gift list, his voice was very light, and he could not tell at all. He threw it at the old man's feet and continued: "I heard that ten days ago, the head of the Wu family had just celebrated his 60th birthday and had a banquet for many guests. He must have received a lot of gifts."

"this---"

The old man didn't expect that Liu Feng suddenly asked about this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Master, after the congratulations received by the Wu family's birthday party, it will be about 213,000 taels of silver."

At this time, Yan Fei, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, the old man's scalp suddenly became numb. Although the cold wind was howling outside, his clothes inside were quickly wet with sweat coming out. Others didn't know. As the housekeeper of the Wu family, he naturally knew how many gifts he received at that birthday party.

All the gifts were indeed worth about 213,000 taels, but there was only the record of 210,000 taels in the open account book, and the other 3,000 taels were the part he secretly embezzled. He didn't even say about this matter, but he didn't expect that these people would find out, which made him panic.

"A birthday party was collected for more than 200,000 taels, and this birthday party was worth it."

Liu Feng sighed, and then he looked at the people in the room, "By the way, you guys come here early in the morning, probably haven't had breakfast yet. So, I'll ask someone to hold a banquet immediately and invite you to have a meal. Don't be polite to me, you're polite, just look down on me Liu Feng."

Those who originally wanted to refuse immediately swallowed the words in their mouths when they heard the following sentence.

Yan Fei glanced at everyone, reached out to pat him, and a group of people walked in outside. These people removed the original tables and chairs inside, and then placed new tables and chairs in front of each person.

Immediately afterwards, some dishes were brought up.

When everyone saw something on their desktop, they were stunned and the same thought came to their minds. What is this?

There were some black dough cakes and stone-like steamed buns on them, and you could even see some sand and grass chips on them. In addition to the dough cakes and steamed buns, there was also a bowl of porridge that smelled bad.

Is this something people eat? Everyone suddenly loses appetite.

"Come on, everyone, I'm so sorry. I don't have much food in my hand. I can only invite everyone to eat these. Don't be polite to me."

Liu Feng didn't seem to see the ugly faces of those people and said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, King Liu!"

After everyone said this, they started to eat with their teeth.

At this time, everyone knew very well that the Liu thief in front of him must have despised the Wu family's shortage of tribute just now, so he made a fuss.

A middle-aged man closed his eyes and bite the dough cake. He found that he could not swallow it at all, so he could only vomit it out again.

"Well! Mr. Lin, are our noodles not delicious? Why do you spit it out?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man trembled in his heart, quickly stood up, took out the gift list he had prepared before and bowed: "King, in addition to this gift list, our Lin family is willing to give away three or four thousand stones of grain as a congratulations to the king to enter the city."

Seeing this, others also spit out the food in their mouths, imitating middle-aged people to contribute food.

"Hey, how can this work? We are the rebels, how can we collect so much money and food for you for nothing?"

Without waiting for them to say anything, Liu Feng continued, "But I have difficulty in spending everywhere now. Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I can't help but dislike everyone's good wishes. Even if I borrow some money and food from everyone, I'll come."

As he clapped his hands, someone immediately put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

"I am a person who is easy to talk about. You can lend it as much as you want, just write it casually, more or less, but everyone should also think about it."

Liu Feng’s pronunciation on the word “Hao” is particularly heavy.

All the people here are clever, so why can’t you understand the obvious threat in Liu Zhe’s voice?

Looking at the white paper in front of me, I didn't know what to do. If I wrote less, I was afraid of offending Liu Zhe and suffered revenge. If I wrote too much, I was afraid of not explaining it after I went back. Even if someone picked up the pen, his hands couldn't tremble. The ink dripped on the paper, leaving a lot of ink traces, and he still didn't dare to write.

Liu Feng leaned on the chair and drank tea leisurely.

He was not embarrassed to exploit these gentry and businessmen's families. The rich family smelled of wine and meat, and the road was frozen to death. During the severe drought in the north, people starved to death every day. These gentry still had big fish and meat, and they didn't know how much money and ointment they had scraped in their hands.

If it weren't for the fact that the strength was not enough now, Liu Feng would have wished to copy this gentleman with an ancient mind.

However, this matter can only be considered and cannot be taken into action. After all, it is not so easy to make the people in the city obey the people. He only has more than 20,000 people in his hands and has to be prepared to face the counterattack of the court. His strength is still a little weak. If there are 100,000 elite troops in the city, then it would be different.

"King Liu, we are not the ones who are in charge of the family. Can we let us go back and discuss it?"

Someone stood up and said, "I'm sorry to me."

"Okay, it's accurate."

Liu Feng put down the teacup and raised three fingers, "Give me an answer within three days. If you expire, you can leave."
