Chapter 543 Assassination of Qin Feng

The establishment of the Dongying Street Office was extremely smooth.

Muchuan Kuzi obeyed his advice and was extremely well-behaved.

There is no way, there is a half-dead man in black lying next to him!

Anyone with any sense would not anger His Majesty the First Emperor at this time!

The supplies for the eastward crossing had been planned within a month.

This time it was Yingbu and Xu Fu who followed Muchuan Kuzi to the east.

Qin Feng was not worried at all about Yingbu, a reduced general.

This guy likes money and enjoyment.

And in the whole world, there is no place where people are richer and can enjoy themselves better than Da Qin.

Therefore, Qin Feng felt much more at ease by letting him out.

After patiently explaining the matter of catching slaves, Muchuan Kuzi and Xu Fu left in a hurry.

This time the supplies were very sufficient, and the arrangements were made by the serious Da Qin Xuanjia Army.

Therefore, even though Xu Fu was reluctant to go to sea again, he did not have much resistance.

For him, as long as he is not in a boat with a group of prisoners who like skin swallows, he can do anything!

"Who sent the assassin?"

Ying Zheng sat on the tiger leather chair, tapped his index finger on the table and asked lightly.

But people who are familiar with him know that His Majesty the First Emperor was obviously extremely angry at this time!

This is not the first time, but the third time this month!

The thirteenth time in the past six months!

Ying Zheng is proud. He thinks that he is a benevolent king and an emperor who cares about the people of the world!

But the repeated assassinations made him ashamed and angry.

After all, since ancient times, those who have been assassinated are faint kings.

I have never heard of any wise ruler being assassinated.

Qin Feng looked at the assassin who had obviously vented more air than taken in, and sighed:

"He's a villager."

Ying Zheng's face became extremely cold and he said:

"From Kanto?"

Qin Feng shook his head and said with a bitter smile:

"There were also assassinations in Guanzhong. Even among the thirteen times, ten were assassinations from Guanzhong and Old Qin people."

"Damn! Damn! Damn!!!"

Ying Zheng was immediately furious, and like a furious lion, he suddenly slapped his palm on the solid wood seat.

Immediately there was a "click", and the solid wood seat was broken by him!

The royal power does not go to the countryside. This is a rule that has been subtly formed by Chinese civilization for thousands of years.

The advantage of doing this is naturally that it can improve administrative efficiency and reduce the empire's management costs.

All taxes will be distributed to the village elders, who will then collect and pay them.

The village elders here are a big clan!

After all, there are too few talents who can govern a country. Knowledge has always been a luxury, and only a handful of people can afford it.

And just these very few people can become generals or become enemies of thousands of people.

But the disadvantages are not very obvious. It is like a slow poison, slowly corroding a magnificent empire.

The village elders are like the local emperors in the countryside, taking everything they ask for.

They will continue to squeeze the people and make themselves big landowners through land annexation.

And let all the people become tenants and farm for themselves.

After Qin Feng explained the stakes to Ying Zheng, he made up his mind to use students from the Royal Institute of Technology of the Qin Empire as the township head!

In addition, within the scope of Da Qin, the Three Elders were abolished, and the official taxes were unified by Da Qin officials.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among local forces.

For thousands of years, clan power has had the final say in rural lands.

Now in the Great Qin Dynasty, they actually want to change the rules? How can that be done?

As for whether their land annexation and clanization will have any impact on Da Qin?

What does that have to do with me? I just want to be rich!

Anyway, for big landowners and local clan forces, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor, they have to cooperate with them in order to collect taxes from the countryside.

Now that you dare to deprive me of the privileges I have enjoyed for generations? Then everyone should stop living!

Moreover, most of these people live in remote areas of the Qin Dynasty and have very little respect for the emperor and the empire.

Ever since, the local assassination of Ying Zheng began.

Not only Ying Zheng, but also the students who went to work in the countryside were brutally assassinated.

The original intention of the cabinet is not to let the conflict become public. After all, everything is waiting for improvement, and everything is focused on stability. If there is another civil war, the Qin Dynasty will probably be severely weakened.

Anyway, those assassins couldn't hurt His Majesty the First Emperor.

As for the safety of the students, just send more guards.

Although Ying Zheng was extremely angry, he calmed down after a while.

After all, he is still an emperor who puts the overall situation first.

Ying Zheng paced back and forth and said in a deep voice:

"Isn't the time ripe yet? I can't wait to crush these bastards to death with my own hands!"

Qin Feng sighed deeply and persuaded with earnest words:

"Your Majesty, no matter how long you endure it, you have already endured it for three years, and it won't be any longer than this time and a half.

As education spreads to the countryside, people will wake up.

After they realize that I, Da Qin, will give them equal rights, land, and real estate.

Naturally they will fight against these big landowners.

Only then will it be easier for us to start!"

Seeing Qin Feng's sincere words, Ying Zheng's anger slowly calmed down.

He kicked the assassin hard, then flicked his sleeves and strode away.

"I can endure it for another three years at most!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Qin Feng glanced at the assassin with a collapsed chest and the black-red blood that kept coming out of the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Obviously there is no way to save him, so he must die.

Moreover, there is no interrogation value. He is probably a killer sent by a wealthy landlord in a remote village far away from the town.

Qin Feng shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and left the palace.

By now it was dark and night had fallen.

But for Shanglinyuan, the night market carnival has just begun.

Countless burning huge sky lanterns slowly rose, and thick butter candles illuminated the entire sky.

Waves of cheers came from afar, and you knew they were foreigners.

Because the locals have long been accustomed to the wonderful nightlife in Shanglinyuan.

Qin Feng looked at this prosperous scene, and his frown slowly relaxed.

He laughed heartily and said:

"Hahahaha! Such a prosperous world, even if I am like a tortoise, why not endure it for a few years?"

Hei Niu also giggled along beside him, although he didn't know what Mr. Qin was laughing at.

Qin Feng is not riding a horse, and is going to stroll through the night market in Shanglinyuan.

Listening to the melodious singing of the brothel girls, watching the graceful dancing of the dancers from the Western Regions, as well as the circuses from various places, and the fragrant food, it is all the fireworks of the world.

"This fellow, may I ask if you are a Qin Fengman?"

Suddenly, an old man wearing coarse clothes appeared in front of Qin Feng, rubbing his clothes with his hands, his face turned red, and he asked awkwardly.

A warm smile appeared on Qin Feng's face, which made people feel like a spring breeze. He nodded and said warmly:

"I am Qin Feng, Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Does this fellow countryman need help with anything?"

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded vigorously, and said urgently:

"Yes! Yes! I'll lend you the young head!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger suddenly stabbed Qin Feng in the chest!

In the flash of lightning, no one reacted at all!

Hearing only a muffled groan, Qin Feng's eyes widened and he looked at the old man in disbelief.

And the dagger has already penetrated three points into the chest!
