Chapter 53 The Mu family not only did not surrender, but also dared to attack!
This was the first time Zhang Ximeng saw Ma being so angry.
The lady has already spoken, which is more effective than Zhu Yuanzhang's words. Who dares to neglect?
Zhang Ximengxing hurriedly came to see Li Shanchang and found that Mr. Li's desk was full of albums and lists. He was worried about dividing the fields.
"Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work."
Li Shanchang hurriedly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. When you work for your superiors, you should do it perfectly so that you can deserve the trust of your superiors."
Zhang Ximeng sat down casually and praised with a smile: "With Mr. Li's heart, nothing can be done badly. Mr. Li, I came to inquire about the Mu family. They have also approached me. There is a conclusion to this matter."
Already?"
Li Shanchang did not dare to neglect, but he was a little embarrassed: "The affairs of the Mu family are not that simple, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle!"
"It's hard to handle? Just because they are the same race as the lord's adopted son?" Zhang Ximeng said thoughtfully.
Li Shan was stunned for a moment. Is there any need to ask?
However, after long experience in public affairs, Li Shanchang had already learned to tell lies with his eyes open.
So he explained with a smile: "Of course there is this reason, but the Mu family should not be underestimated. During the pre-Qin period, there was the Mu family. It was also a big family in Dingyuan. It had a lot of people and a lot of power, big and small.
There are more than a dozen houses and several villages, and the Mu family has the final say."
Why does Zhang Ximeng feel something is wrong?
"Mr. Li, isn't the purpose of our plan to allocate land to crack down on wealthy families like this? What? When you encounter the Mu family, you are restrained?"
Li Shanchang was startled again, feeling embarrassed.
What do you think Zhang Ximeng means, actually wanting to attack the Mu family?
Aren’t he and Mu Ying getting along well?
Did you understand it wrong?
Li Shanchang was a little confused. He could only think carefully and said: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with family affairs. The Mu family also said that no matter whether Mu Ying mother and son were at fault, but the bones and tendons are broken, after all, it is the Mu family. They are willing to admit their mistakes and make amends.
.As for the land, the Mu family has a lot of land, but their village is not rich in land. As long as it can be divided equally according to the head of the family, not only will it not have to be paid, but I'm afraid I will have to compensate them!"
Zhang Ximeng found it even more funny and couldn't help but sneered: "Mr. Li, do you think they are right?"
Li Shanchang was speechless again. After all, the time he had been here was too short, and he didn't understand what was going on inside. Therefore, Li Shanchang leaned forward, made a modest gesture, and whispered: "The Mu family's words are certainly deceptive. But after all, they
He is the young master's family. Now my lord only has such an adopted son. The Mu family's property still belongs to the young master. Can it be more convenient for everyone? Furthermore, even if it needs to be disposed of, do you need to report it to the superiors? "
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "Mr. Li, do you know what the young master just said?"
Li Shanchang shook his head, "I don't know."
"The young master said his surname is Zhu but not Mu!" Zhang Ximeng said lightly: "Mr. Li, do you know what to do?"
Li Shanchang was instantly speechless when asked.
His heart was pounding, and he did not dare to hesitate and said hurriedly: "Should I send someone to call the Mu family now? Tell them not to have wishful thinking!"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "There is no need to trouble Mr. Li, I will just take care of this matter. I just want to remind Mr. Li that the lord's land distribution order must be fair and just. When implementing it, we cannot imitate Yuan Ting or be full of loopholes."
, malpractice for personal gain.”
Li Shanchang was horrified, and then stood up and bowed deeply. When he raised his head, Zhang Ximeng had disappeared.
Li Shanchang touched the cold sweat on his head and said to himself that Zhang Ximeng is so awesome, he actually plays it real and doesn't show any personal favoritism!
Li Shanchang thought of another thing and shouted that it was bad.
He hurriedly sealed the two boxes and sent them all to Zhu Yuanzhang's handsome account. After finishing, Li Shanchang secretly wiped his sweat, his heart pounding.
He finished speaking for the Mu family, Mu Ying was on the one hand, and on the other hand it was naturally profitable.
It is customary to collect money to do things.
In the Yuan Dynasty for too many years, obeying the law became an outlier.
Take this land allocation as an example. The regulations are clear and Li Shanchang is also aware of it.
But he always felt that he could give a discount, even if he handed over all his own land, he still felt that someone could be an exception. Since Mu Ying is Zhu Yuanzhang's only adopted son, she should be different.
If he charges some favors and speaks for the Mu family, it’s impossible for Lao Zhu not to feel sorry for his godson. He might even think that he can do things and is a talent!
Not only did he get the benefits, but he also got the appreciation of the lord, it was a win-win situation, and Mu Ying and the Mu family would naturally rely on him in the future, so that would be a huge win!
But obviously he thought wrong, what a bullshit family, Mu Ying didn't accept this at all, Zhang Ximeng even warned him directly... Only then did Li Shanchang fully realize that there was indeed something different about the team he joined.
It’s time to curb the problems I picked up at Yuanting Yamen.
As for the Mu family, just wish yourself good luck!
Li Shanchang thought about it again and again and felt that what he had just done was not enough.
He still needs to see Lao Zhu, confess in person, and clearly explain the Mu family's bribery to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, with a deep expression on his face, and a pair of sharp eyes that kept scanning Li Shanchang's body, making him shiver with hair all over his body.
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Mr. Li, if the Mu family does not let Mu Ying down, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment.
This question is not an ordinary one. He is still a newbie. Please don’t use this to test him!
The family of the lord's adopted son is roughly equal to the lord's family. It seems that there should be an exception, but looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, that's not what he meant...
"If I return to the throne, the laws of the country are nothing more than human kindness. I think the young master is filial and should take care of his family..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered slightly: "Mr. Li, you have been working in Yuanting for too long. It is not surprising to think so, but it will not be an example next time! Remember our words, from now on, even if our relatives want to take bribes and bend the law,
, we won’t allow it if you act recklessly!”
"Remember clearly, this is not the Yuan Dynasty!"
With one sentence, Li Shanchang was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and even said he knew.
After teaching Li Shanchang a lesson, Zhu Yuanzhang went straight out, jumped on his horse, and without rest at all, he took dozens of horsemen and chased Zhang Ximeng. He wanted to handle the matter personally.
Seeing Lao Zhu leave, Li Shanchang's back was soaked.
What a Zhu Yuanzhang who enforces the law strictly!
What frightened Li Shanchang even more was that Zhang Ximeng was exactly the same as Zhu Yuanzhang said. This shows how close they are.
It's ridiculous that I still wanted to replace Zhang Ximeng. The Mu family came to find him, and according to their past habits in the yamen, they agreed to help Zhou Xuan... Now it seems that everything is wrong.
Fortunately it was the first time, otherwise I would have been in trouble.
Li Shanchang is also honest. Before you understand Zhu Yuanzhang's nature and the habits of this team, you must not make your own decisions casually. You must behave with your tail between your legs...
The lesson learned this time was enough for Mr. Li Shan to take him for a long time.
Instead, the Mu family approached Zhang Ximeng to establish a relationship and give gifts to Li Shanchang. It was a multi-pronged approach. They thought it was a foolproof thing, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ximeng's troops arrived!
The bell rang throughout the village, and all the Mu family's thugs gathered. There were seven or eight hundred people, which was not a small number.
It turns out that the Mu family has made the thugs they usually raise into local warriors and they train them every month, but don't think they are easy to deal with.
When they heard that Zhang Ximeng had arrived with troops, the Mu family became anxious.
"Okay! They are indeed a group of unreasonable thieves! Since I begged them and they are unwilling to agree, let's fight to the death and see who can't bear it!"
"Send the order! Everyone, with all your good weapons, get ready for me to fight!"
In an instant, people in the village screamed, and hundreds of tough young men, armed with swords, guns and weapons, rushed to the fence of the village with strange screams and stood ready.
Just as they were making preparations, Zhang Ximeng arrived with two brothers, Wu Zhen and Wu Liang, and two hundred troops.
"Go and tell the people inside, let them open the gate of the village, put down their weapons, follow us, and ask the lord for forgiveness!"
Wu Liang agreed, urged his horse, and rushed over. He shouted twice, but he was indifferent.
Waiting for the third time, a cold arrow suddenly shot out. Wu Liang hurriedly lowered his head, and the arrow flew over his head and penetrated into the ground ten steps away.
Wu Liang got back on his horse, hid himself in a stirrup, grabbed the arrow, and rushed in front of Zhang Ximeng. Wu Liang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Sir, the Mu family not only refused to surrender, but they also dared to sneak attack a lowly official!"
"beat!"
Zhang Ximeng said categorically: "Come into the village and wipe out the Mu family!"
"As you command!"
The Wu brothers organized their own troops and rushed forward like a whirlwind. The trenches and fences were no better than toys in front of the cavalry soldiers!
The Wu brothers took the lead and rushed to the wall. First they fired arrows, and then they used their flying claws to grab the wooden wall. The cavalry worked together.
A hole was opened in an instant, and the Wu brothers drove their troops in through the gap, marching straight in behind the Mu family's thugs, chasing those thugs who were extremely fierce in the past and running all over the ground, worse than a flock of sheep... And this rush,
This also means that the wealthy gentry are no longer the masters of the place.
