Back Off, Let Me Come

The old man stroked his gray beard, his eyelids were drooped, his shoulders were slumped, and he was thinking about something: "Brother, looking at the current situation, those students of yours are not well-intentioned."

The old man holding the staff was angry again.

But this time it was not because of Shen Tang or Lin Feng, but because of a few students who asked him to take charge of the overall situation. Before he could think about whether his students were plotting against Lin, he heard his great-granddaughter say: "There are no young people in the family, and my great-grandfather is old. It seems that my lord has not written any documents to conquer the country. Why is Lin involved in this turmoil?" ? For the sake of Lin’s safety, I beg my great-grandfather to speak frankly.”

The two brothers looked at each other and remained silent.

They looked at Lin Feng's posture with his elbows outside, and knew that they couldn't answer this question. The old man holding the staff didn't want to start the conversation, so he let the old man speak first. The old man's face seemed a little helpless: "Jiaojiao, my great-uncle asked you before, do you really think your lord is worth following? Now I want to ask you, even if she wants to overthrow the family, will you follow her?"

Lin was somewhat caught off guard by this question.

This question is somewhat heartbreaking and too sensitive.

She did not answer directly: "Why did great-uncle say this?"

But the old man thought that Lin Feng was avoiding the important and taking the easy. He was a little angry: "Uncle Zeng asked you, when your lord took office in Heyin, did he uproot the local power? Conquer the family and exterminate the clan?"

Lin Feng nodded: "It is indeed true, but that is because -"

The old man interrupted her forcefully: "Then let me ask you again, after your Lord transferred Longwu County, did he also kill the wealthy families who have been operating in Longwu County for many years? Nine times out of ten?"

Lin Feng still nodded: "It is true."

This time there was no rush to explain.

She had a hunch that her great-uncle's questioning was not over yet.

The old man asked his third question: "After your lord entered Sibao County, did he take away the properties belonging to the famous families in the territory?"

After great uncle finished asking, Lin Feng waited for a few seconds.

She met the former's eyes that were still full of youthfulness, and asked softly and politely: "Well, have you finished asking great-uncle all the questions?"

The ordinary words sounded strange to the old man, even if Lin Feng didn't mean it himself.

I wanted to get angry, but the Lin Feng in front of me was not only their junior, but also a subordinate of Shen Youli's account, and the main talker in charge of Lin's actions. If you get angry at her, the conflict can easily escalate into an uncontrollable situation. The old man swallowed it back.

He said expressionlessly: "Well, I'm done asking."

Lin Feng nodded obediently and explained calmly: "During the Heyin period, my lord was very poor. It was a shame that the local forces occupied most of the land in the territory, leaving the common people with no land to farm. Later, they concealed the number of people, causing the Heyin government office to be in financial straits. Under him, the dogs and grasses were looking down upon people's lives. , the people of Heyin were in dire straits, and their crimes were too numerous to describe. After the lord took office, they deceived the lord when he was young, and tried to control the official office to evade him. Uncle Zeng, don’t they deserve to die? They crossed the line first, and the lord cruelly dealt with them. "

She slowly continued to take inventory: "There is nothing to say about the things in Longwu County. In order to make profits, the local wealthy people colluded with Shiwu inside and outside, secretly funded grain and grass supplies, and tacitly allowed the Shiwu horse bandits to loot, burn and kill within the territory. , killing countless innocent people. This alone is enough for the three Yi tribes, and there is no need to mention other things like occupying the people's farmland, seeking wealth and killing people. They ransacked their homes, destroyed their clan, and massacred everyone. This was all theirs This generation deserves this blessing.”

As for those things in Sibao County...

Lin Feng wanted to avenge his lord, so he said something fair: "After my lord conquered Qiu Wenyan, he took control of Sibao County and soon led his troops to participate in the Dragon Slaying Bureau. Those things that great-uncle said were handled by the Qi Lord Book. You two elders need to know that Sibao County has been riddled with holes and ruins after several wars. The wealthy families moved away and fled, leaving only a few old slaves to guard it. Most of the old slaves also disappeared during the war. What’s going on, the land in Sibao County still needs to be kept chaste for those wealthy families?”

The two old men listened to the first two paragraphs with sullen expressions, until the last sentence of the third paragraph took a turn for the worse. They were so shocked that they almost choked on their saliva, and both of them had strange expressions.

The old man holding the staff couldn't hold back anymore and scolded in a loud voice: "Jiaojiao, how can you speak so openly with a daughter?"

Lin Feng blinked, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Great-grandfather, Jiaojiao will have haircuts in a few months." She can get married at this age, and she is not a daughter of a boudoir who lives in the inner house for a long time and is not familiar with the world. "For my grandson, as long as he does not slander his master and mentor, there is nothing wrong with him." His words are not unreasonable."

The expressions of the old man holding the staff and the old man were distorted for a moment.

Taking a deep breath, she secretly told herself that the Lin Feng in front of her was not the Jiaojiao she once was, and the two could not be confused with each other. After a long time to mentally build up, the old man said earnestly: "Indeed, those insects died unjustly, and your lord's response methods are also reasonable, but Jiaojiao, have you ever thought about it - how many assholes are there in this world today? Is it clean?”

"First it was He Yin, then Long Wu, and then the Four Treasures. The reasons for sending troops are very similar. Those who have unclean butts, one by one, can still kill them all if they pull out the same banner!" The old man almost said it through his teeth. Spouting these words, "How can Shen Youli not put everyone in danger by doing this?"

Lin Feng's gentle expression finally changed, and he said angrily: "My lord, I never had such an intention! Wasn't the previous campaign a sign of goodwill to various families? Due to the impact of the war, the official offices of the two prefectures of Yan and Qian were stagnant and lacked manpower. Recruiting talented people! They themselves refused! Now they are wronging the lord? It's not enough for these people to criticize the lord. They also spread rumors about the lord everywhere, saying that her male soul was reincarnated into a female fetus. She is recruiting talented people to fill the harem, and she will not be able to recruit more. My lord, she is an upright woman. So far, various families have not recognized her as a woman. What are their intentions? "

"Great-grandfather, great-uncle, you haven't seen my lord, haven't you seen your grandson? You have watched your grandson grow up since you were a baby! Could it be that your grandson is also the so-called monster whose male soul was reborn in a female fetus? These wealthy families , how arrogant and stupid!”

"It's such a huge humiliation that it's not an exaggeration to lead troops to kill them and bleed them like rivers! Now we just ask them to take some ill-gotten gains and both sides take a step back. What will happen to them? Conspiracy, beauty trap, taking advantage of the Lord's absence. There will be another military disaster!"

My own family is also involved!

I didn't understand it at first, but now I understand.

After my great-grandfather retired and returned to his hometown, he taught many students, most of whom were children of aristocratic families from local or other places. If you persuade your great-grandfather to come forward, you can persuade others to join under his banner. This is really a shameful thing!

Lin Feng was furious, but his tone remained restrained.

She was panting slightly and didn't hear the two elders' response for a long time. She was worried that she was too angry and angered them, so she looked up.

Good news, the second elder didn't faint from anger.

Bad news, the second elder's expression is very strange.

At this time, great-grandfather, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "Jiaojiao, I have heard the rumors you mentioned. It's just that the various families are unable to conquer the land, and it's not because of these."

Lin Feng said: "Of course this is not the whole reason."

Great-grandfather added: "It's not the main reason."

As long as they are well-informed, everyone will know who is more powerful, Shen Tang or Wu Xian, and the two states of Yan and Qian are basically in Shen Tang's hands. The local aristocratic families can escape, but the land and ancestral property cannot escape, and they will not leave easily unless absolutely necessary.

Great-grandfather continued: "Because your lord has a lot of criminal records, and what he has done is unprecedented. Everyone's ancestral graves have been digged up, so how can each family not be afraid of her killing the family? Land is the foundation of each family, and many of them have unclean origins, and there are even more people. Taking advantage of the war to hide tenants, local government offices are experiencing financial deficits every year because of this. Your lord will definitely take action on this!"

Lin Feng nodded: "This is natural!"

The land is in the hands of local snakes, and my master has no land for the common people to cultivate. How can he collect taxes to maintain the operation of a local government office? No matter how powerful a brave warrior is in clearing up wasteland, he cannot "create a land out of nothing." All the land that can be cultivated has been cleared, but the quantity is still not enough. The newly cultivated fields are not fertile enough. Where are the fertile fields with high yields? Tian, ​​the more the better.

What the local snake swallowed, spit it out!

Great-grandfather continued: "According to the tacit agreement in the past, when a piece of land changes ownership, each family will hand over a certain amount of land according to the situation within the territory. Generally speaking, the government guarantees 70%, and each family 30%. Occasionally, it also has 40%, but it is rare. On the other hand, Your lord's behavior in Heyin, Longwu, Sibao and other places obviously did not abide by this tacit agreement. She wants ten percent, how can everyone not be afraid?"

The aristocratic family is not really unafraid of death.

People are willing to give up their land and tenants in exchange for peace, but the ratio needs to be negotiated and compromised by both parties.

Shen Tang's performance made them worried about their respective prospects.

Plus she beat and backstabbed her allies...

Lin Feng explained: "There is no backstab."

Great-grandfather pursed his lips: "So the beating is true."

Lin Feng: "..."

"With all your lord's behavior, once she gets a firm foothold, will the butcher's knife really not fall? She has not expressed anything so far. The refusal of all the families to conquer the land is just to force her to express her position. Either way, it is better to die. Try it.”

As for that rumor...

Rumors have longer legs than truth.

Great-grandfather said: "She has no children now. If the two parties really reach a tacit understanding, each family will not be stingy about sending someone to her side. It is a bit of an in-law relationship, and she feels more secure. What if someone strives to let your lord give birth to a child of the same clan? …”

Who can refuse a good thing with low risk and high reward?

They did not reject Shen Jun's lust. As long as it did not harm the heirs or principals of the families, everything else could be discussed.

Lin Feng: "..."

Great-grandfather looked at Lin Feng and sighed: "But her attitude is very resolute, and she won't give in even half a step... Those with cleaner hands and feet and smaller families are naturally willing to spend money to eliminate disasters. They swallowed up the fields and hid them. There are not many people. Compared with the lives of the whole clan, gritting one's teeth can be given up. When she is liquidated in the future, she will see that she knows what she wants, and she will not kill them all."

Lin Feng: "..."

Great-grandfather continued to sigh: "But other sects are different. There are many clan members and a lot of expenses. If it is cleared away, not even the decent clan land will be left, and the whole clan will starve to death."

If you are forced into a desperate situation, you will die anyway, so why not give it a try!

Lin Feng: "..."

So there are the list-beating faction and the beauty faction?

The great-grandfather smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After all, it is your lord who is planning more deeply. She has watched every move of each family, and she only waits for the final closure. What happened last night, I am afraid that everyone can't sleep at night."

What is more terrifying than death is counting when you will die.

"After all, it's just a bad move!"

Lin Feng finally came to his senses and tried to join the chat.

"Great-grandfather, great-uncle, Jiaojiao did not lie."

The second elder: "..."

"My lord really didn't know why each family couldn't recruit land. She unexpectedly learned the reason for rejection from a member of the aristocratic family, so she became furious. But she was unwilling to bear the bad breath, so she beat each family in the name of donating money and purged them. Stigma. I monitor the movements of each family because I am worried about trouble. If something goes wrong, I will take the opportunity to attack." The Lord's original words were that if you are shameless, then you will tear off all the faces!

By the way, increase the amount of extortion money!

Beat up the dishonest family, and make another blackmail at the same time!

The second elder: "..."

The three of them looked at each other in the hall.

It took the old man holding the staff a long time to hold back a sentence: "Really?"

Lin Feng said: "How could my grandson lie to you?"

The old man was the first to break the defense, and his voice suddenly rose: "No one in your lord's account knows about this tacit understanding?"

Because the country's political power changes so quickly, the last wave of chaos often continues before the end. In addition, the aristocratic families are more stubborn than the royal family, and the land handed over from the aristocratic families will soon come back. It took time to form this tacit understanding, each taking a step back.

"Others don't know, but the teacher did not mention it. He was just surprised that various families would refuse to conquer the land because of the absurd rumors spread by Tao Shenyu's old department..." Teacher Chu Yao's original words were [When did the current aristocratic families become so reserved? 】.

The implication——

The aristocratic family actually also talks about chastity?

The protagonist is even more straightforward: [The Elephant House, which was still open one day, joined the anti-pornography and illegal activities the next day. 】

"The other conspirators also don't know?"

Lin Feng considered it and said: "Most of you gentlemen are from poor backgrounds, and occasionally have aristocratic families, but they are not big bosses. The rest are from other places. It is normal for me to be unclear about this territory, especially this kind of tacit understanding that is so secretive. I I don’t know either.”

The old man's face twisted ferociously for a moment.

Of course, very few people know about this kind of perfectionism that damages the appearance of a family. Even if it is spread to the outside world, it is only assumed that these families understand the righteousness! In other words, what Lin Feng said is true——

He instantly thought of several sects that might "better to be broken than to be destroyed". Didn't they die in vain?

Lin Feng also thought of this level.

The face was a bit embarrassing.

Immediately he said seriously: "No matter what, it is true that all the families discussed the conspiracy. If they didn't understand, it doesn't mean they died unjustly."

At best, his death was worthless.

Besides, all the families who surrounded us last night were in the lead.

They rushed forward, naturally because their own interests were harmed the most and their butts were the uncleanest. If it were left to He Yin Long Wu, they would all be the objects that the lord wanted. If there weren't too many families involved this time, the lord would be more than just ripping people off.

Just knock your head and split it in two.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "And each family wants to keep 30%, and they have a big appetite."

No, it's too big!
