The person standing in front of him was none other than King Li Ke of Shu.
In other words, these troops are not rebels organized by the gentry in Huxian County, but Li Ke's people?
Li Ke saw Wei Shuyu holding up the long sword and said with interest: "Silly man, do you want to fight me for three hundred rounds? Come on, you hold a weapon and I will fight you with my bare hands!"
As the captain of the Guancheng Brigade and the Pig Catching Brigade of Huxian County, Li Keyuan could shoot large eagles with his bow and fight wild boars with his bare hands, but he had not taken Wei Shuyu seriously yet.
Wei Shuyu put the knife back sarcastically and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness was joking, I thought... I thought someone was plotting rebellion!"
At this time, Du He stepped forward and asked: "Your Highness, which song are you singing? Didn't I hear that you were working hard to promote drama in Chang'an? Why did you come to Hu County? Moreover, these people are all
It’s the City Guanling Brigade, why aren’t you wearing the clothes of the City Guanling Brigade?”
The uniforms of the Hu County Guancheng Brigade are very eye-catching and uniform.
But these people in front of me were not wearing clothes.
Therefore, when everyone came out, under the dim light, they had no idea that these guys were Guancheng.
Li Ke patted his chest and said: "Teacher, I heard that the imperial court is coming to investigate you. Those old guys may find an excuse to slander you and take you away. I will never let them succeed. I have mobilized the city management team.
, surround the entire county government office, no one can come in! Teacher, don’t worry! With me here, no one can go wild in Hu County!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After doing this for a long time, I thought there was a big chaos.
Unexpectedly, it was the King of Shu who mobilized the city management team.
Today's Guancheng Brigade has more than 500 people. Each person is equipped with two horses and three weapons. They can carry ten days' worth of dry food with them. They also have sophisticated shields, cannons, explosive packs, siege ladders, etc.
Wait, the combat effectiveness is definitely no less than that of an army of 5,000 men, and every one of them is brave and fearless of death.
No wonder there was such a big fuss.
Du He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, please move all the troops away quickly!"
"What?" Li Ke's eyes widened, "But, I heard that those people from the court will arrive in Hu County early tomorrow morning. Without so many people to protect them, what should you do?"
Du He said with a smile: "The people who came to the tea enclosure movement this time are all ministers of the court. They are all civilized people. What else can they do for the teacher? You can quickly move the troops and make your own arrangements for the teacher."
"Yes, teacher, don't worry. I have been stationed at the Guancheng Brigade these days. I will send people to keep an eye on the county government at any time. If there is any trouble, Guancheng can be dispatched immediately. I want to let the old immortals in the court
We know clearly that Hu County is our territory and we cannot tolerate their mischief." Li Ke waved the mace stick in his hand and said through gritted teeth.
The gatekeepers came and went as fast as they could, and with a crash, they were all evacuated.
Du He was just about to go back to sleep when someone sent news that Ma Zhou was back.
Ma Zhou hurriedly found Du He and reported: "Master, today, there are a lot less people selling land. I asked people to find out. It turns out that there are some gentry. Seeing that they have not done anything recently, even the county government has
These people came forward to help acquire land, but these people backed down. They did not want to continue with Liang Kai, Yang Cheng and others' plans to drain the firepower. If this was the case, it would first slow down our acquisition of land, and secondly, it would make land prices rise.
It’s not good for us!”
Du He pondered for a while and suddenly laughed: "It's really hard for these guys to achieve great things. Those who achieved great things in ancient times all had extraordinary perseverance. Looking at these guys, they have no perseverance at all. This young master is really disappointed!"
"
Ma Zhou: "..."
I really don’t know how those nobles would feel when they learned that the young master commented on them like this.
Du He ordered: "Find someone quickly and send someone from the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the land enclosure movement and release the news quickly! I think these nobles are smart people and they know what to do."
"Yes, Master!"
Ma Zhou agreed and hurriedly implemented it.
These days, he has been busy day and night.
I haven't had a good night's sleep in several days.
But Ma Zhou has no regrets.
In the past few days, he has obtained one-third of the land sold in Hu County.
Although it is not as good as Huxian Development Company, these lands are all in excellent locations, and their value is definitely not comparable to that of Huxian Development Company.
Early the next morning.
News that the imperial court was going to Hu County to thoroughly investigate the land enclosure movement spread like wildfire.
There was a lot of discussion in the entire Huxian County.
…
Liang family.
Liang Kai once again gathered the heads of the noble clan together.
Just yesterday, many nobles had already backed down and did not intend to insist on selling land with Liang Kai.
This incident gave Liang Kai a headache.
However, there is no perfect path.
This morning, good news came.
Liang Kai said happily: "Everyone, what are you waiting for? At noon today, people from the imperial court will arrive at Hu County. This time, the leaders are Du He's mortal enemies Situ Wanggui and Sikong Changsun Wuji.
These two people came to Hu County in person, and their intention was already very obvious, that is, to find evidence and convict Du He... I shouldn't back down at this time. If I wait to sell all the land within today,
, and then all the families move out, the county will definitely be in panic and chaos. When the ministers of the imperial court see it, they will definitely take this matter seriously. By then, Du He will be finished!"
After some persuasion from Liang Kai.
Everyone was convinced.
As a result, the nobles who had previously been waiting and watching and retreating, followed the arrangements of Liang Kai and others and frantically sold their land.
Moreover, everyone agreed to prepare the moving carriages and horses, and at noon, they would all leave Huxian County in a majestic manner to be seen by officials sent by the imperial court. At the same time, they would try their best to incite the people and create panic.
…
Noon.
finally reached.
Liang Kai gave the order.
All noble families took action.
Not long after, on the street, at first glance, there were huge convoys of families moving.
Huxian County, which was already in depression, now looks even more depressing and panicked.
The nobles were all very proud of their actions.
In the motorcade, someone asked: "Brother Liang, it was said that court officials entered Huxian County at noon. Is the news reliable?"
"Don't worry, I have asked someone to inquire about this matter clearly. Moreover, I sent someone to Chang'an early this morning. Just now someone came to report that the carriages and horses of the imperial officials have arrived near Hu County and will soon enter
It’s the county seat.”
“So best!”
Everyone's worries finally subsided.
As a result, the crowd began to wander in the street in great numbers.
at the same time.
A group of carriages and horses has appeared not far to the north of Hu County. It seems that it is only a few miles away from the county seat of Hu County.
