As the leaders of the five surnamed Qiwang clan looked around, they suddenly saw a young figure entering.
It's someone else, not someone else.
It was Wang Can.
When Wang Can appeared, there was a hint of panic in everyone's eyes. Because everyone with the five surnames and Qi Wang knew Wang Can's strength. Especially Wang Can's sudden appearance, which caught them off guard.
Why did Wang Can come?
How should they deal with Wang Can?
Everyone was in confusion.
As Wang Can walked away, he chuckled and said: "You guys are really good at planning. You actually thought of moving the tiger away from the mountain, moving me away from Luoyang, and then murdering the emperor. Yes, yes, it's really a good plan!"
Wang Ao's cheeks twitched and he smiled and said: "The Imperial Master was joking. We were just joking. It was just a joke. It is impossible for us to really do this."
Zheng Yan also echoed: "Yes, yes, it's a joke."
One by one they kept speaking in agreement.
Everyone's faces were filled with awkward smiles, and they looked like they were trying to please Wang Can. They didn't dare to provoke Wang Can now. If Wang Can was angered, none of them would be able to leave alive.
Therefore, we must quickly lighten the atmosphere.
Wang Can took a deep breath and said: "You are really naive, or you think that I am naive enough to believe what you say. Do you believe what you say to coax a three-year-old?"
Wang Ao and others were all embarrassed.
When they plotted to kill Wang Can, they vowed to kill each and every one of them at the risk of their own lives.
Wang Can walked to the center of the hall, brought a bar stool, lifted up his robe, sat down, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, tell me what other methods you have to deal with me."
"No more, no more!"
Wang Ao and others answered one after another.
The expressions on all their faces were as if they were determined not to.
Wang Can dusted off his clothes and continued: "Speaking of which, don't you doubt why I know that you are plotting against me? Don't you wonder about this?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was thinking about it.
"It's Kong Yingda!"
At this time, someone spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the others all agreed, and they all thought of Kong Yingda. Because under the current situation, they only thought of Kong Yingda, and only Kong Yingda was the most suspicious.
Wang Can said calmly: "Yes, you guessed it right, it is indeed Kong Yingda. It was Kong Yingda who said that you were going to plot against me, so I mobilized the sentry to find out your whereabouts. And now Kong Yingda,
You have already entered the Imperial Preceptor's Office to assist me in handling government affairs."
When Wang Ao and others heard this, they all looked angry.
Everyone was filled with anger.
Kong Yingda is such a rebel!
If it weren't for Kong Yingda, their whereabouts would not have been exposed.
If it weren't for Kong Yingda, they wouldn't be like this.
It's just that they don't dare to say anything now, because what they have to consider now is how to solve their own survival problems and how to survive from Wang Can's hands. This is the most important thing.
Wang Can did not continue the previous question, but changed the topic and said calmly: "Do you know why I am telling you this?"
Everyone shook their heads, looking puzzled.
Wang Can smiled softly and said: "Because you all have to die, let you enjoy a little more joy of survival now. Next, none of you can escape and you will all die. If you want to kill me, I will kill you."
, This is very reasonable. Those who kill people will always be killed."
"I, I don't want to die!"
Among the crowd, some people immediately ran out.
Although the man who ran out was a bit old, as soon as he arrived at the door, Wang Can waved his hand. Under the impact of the strong energy, the man who ran out tilted his head and fell to the ground with a plop, without any trace of life anymore.
breath.
Wang Can said: "If you want to run away, you must die first."
brush!
Wang Ao, Zheng Yan and others all changed their expressions.
The expressions on their faces were extremely nervous, and they were rapidly turning their heads, thinking of strategies to escape.
Wang Ao said in a deep voice: "Master, I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, are willing to submit to you. Even I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, have many fields. I am willing to spend all my family property, just to ask the master to spare my life."
Wang Can sneered and said: "You, Wang Ao, plotted against me and invaded the imperial preceptor of the Sui Dynasty. For this crime alone, confiscating the family and annihilating the clan is not an exaggeration. I want to kill you and destroy the Wang family, who dares to stop me."
After Wang Ao heard this, he said angrily: "Wang Can, you will not die well!"
As soon as Wang Can stretched out his hand, Wang Ao's whole body seemed to be dragged, and he was in front of Wang Can. Wang Can stretched out his hand, grabbed Wang Ao's neck, exerted force on his hand, and heard a click, and he was already there.
He broke Wang Ao's neck.
Wang Can threw Wang Ao's body aside like a dead dog.
At this time, he had no interest.
After standing up, the breath in the body circulated, and the turbulent Gang Qi rushed out and spread across the hall. The Gang Qi was even sharper than the blade of the sword. It shuttled back and forth. In a short period of time, Zheng Yan and the other five surnames and Qi Wang
people were killed one after another.
Everyone died in the house.
From Wang Ao to Zheng Yan, everyone was killed.
Wang Can turned around and walked out. He didn't care about the group of dead people from the aristocratic families, but went straight back to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. He arranged for soldiers to move all the bodies of Wang Ao, Zheng Yan and others back to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
The government put it on hold.
When Kong Yingda started to come to the Imperial Master's Mansion to do work, Wang Can called Kong Yingda into the study.
Kong Yingda bowed and saluted: "National Master!"
Wang Can said: "Wang Ao, Zheng Yan and others have been executed, and everyone has been killed. The bodies of these people have been transported back to the Imperial Prefecture. You write a notice to inform the world, inform the world's aristocratic families, and inform
All the families involved in plotting against me."
"Everyone who deals with me must apologize."
"I'm waiting for their response."
"Let's see what kind of explanation they give me."
A sharp look flashed in Wang Can's eyes, and he said: "If these five surnames and Qiwang, as well as the other participating aristocratic families, can't give me a perfect answer, then I will visit them one by one to question them. This time I will visit them.
To punish them, it is not as simple as visiting the Bolingcui family last time, but to wipe them out one by one."
Kong Yingda said: "The arrangements made by the Imperial Master will be fulfilled and the humble position will be fulfilled."
After a pause, Kong Yingda continued: "National Preceptor, I think that in order to deal with these five surnames and seven Wangs, as well as the rest of the aristocratic families, this incident is an excellent opportunity. So this time, I think we should
Use a blunt knife to cut the flesh. Let them hand over the most important things to protect themselves."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Oh, what do you think they should be asked to hand over?"
Kong Yingda replied: "Reporting to the Imperial Master, the foundation of a large family is, on the one hand, land. They occupy enough resources. Each big family controls thousands of acres, or even tens of thousands, or one hundred thousand acres.
It’s all possible.”
"On the other hand, there is population. Many large families have hidden populations. Even if the government conducts population census, in fact, it has not been able to fully identify these people."
"According to humble calculations, the population of an aristocratic family is probably in the thousands."
"Even more."
"They control countless populations and control countless lands, which are resources."
Kong Yingda talked eloquently and continued: "In this dynasty, paper has been increasingly promoted and constantly innovated. Therefore, the promotion of paper has reduced the cost of studying. In addition, the emperor has established imperial examinations. Many scholars from poor families have entered the imperial examination.
The opportunity to serve as an official."
"It would have been earlier."
"It's even more terrifying for these aristocratic families to have the resource of reading."
"It's not easy to be a wealthy family."
There was anger in Kong Yingda's words. Even though he came from a noble family, Kong Yingda was not a pedantic person, and he did not regard himself as a wealthy family. He hoped that the people in the world could live a peaceful life instead of eating each other.
Kong Yingda continued: "National Preceptor, let them hand over their land and population this time. Hand over all the excess land under their control to the imperial court, and release all other populations."
After Wang Can heard this, he thought about it in his heart.
According to Kong Yingda's arrangement, only one order is needed.
However, Wang Can thought carefully in his heart and said: "If you give the order directly, it would actually be inappropriate. To deal with the big families this time, there must be corresponding arrangements."
Kong Yingda said: "Please give me a clear explanation from the Imperial Master."
Wang Can said: "First, the order sent to the big families needs to be slightly changed. The order is sent to all the families involved in plotting against the national division, ordering them to pay the land and release the population. However, there are no restrictions on the amount of land paid and the number of people released.
.”
"Second, you immediately mobilize sentinels to find out about the aristocratic families involved in this case, as well as the five surnames and Qiwang, and find out the land they control and the people they hide in secret."
"In short, we must find out the information clearly."
"If we don't find out this matter clearly, we won't be able to deal with the wealthy families in a targeted manner."
Wang Can's eyes were extremely sharp, and he continued: "Kong Yingda, I leave all situations to you to arrange. And you are fully responsible for directing this matter. I only need the final result, not the process. Of course,
If you have any problems that can't be solved, you can come to me."
"Thank you, Imperial Master!"
Kong Yingda didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
He wants to build a career.
Especially now that Wang Can has provided an excellent platform. Once this platform is established, as long as it is implemented thoroughly, the deep-rooted aristocratic family will be completely wiped out.
This is his chance.
Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Go on, my master is looking forward to your results. I hope that you, Kong Yingda, can create a peaceful and stable foundation for the thousands of people in the Sui Dynasty."
"I will certainly live up to the high expectations of the Imperial Master."
