Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Mountains of grain are piled up in the Feng Mansion's warehouse, all of which have been packed and put into sacks. If Lord Mo hadn't made a sudden attack during this trip, these grains would have been shipped out of the Feng Mansion by now.

Take a rough look.

In this warehouse alone, there are thirty to forty thousand shi of grain, and the black-armored soldiers found four such warehouses in the Feng Mansion.

In total, there are more than 100,000 shi of food.

What is the concept of hundreds of thousands of stones of grain?

Today, among the seven kingdoms, Qin has the largest population, with about six million people.

The total population of the entire Nan County is only 500,000 to 600,000 people. The scope of this flood is not wide, and it can only be regarded as a small disaster. Even if all the victims, large and small, are added up, there are at most 30,000 to 40,000 people. People are up to the sky.

Even if only half of the hundreds of thousands of stones of food hoarded by the Feng family were sold, it would be enough to easily help Nanjun survive this disaster.

However, the Feng clan and the other three major clans not only did not sell the grain, but also bought all the grain on the market and artificially manipulated the price of grain, causing the price of grain to skyrocket.

This way.

The 'flood' that could only be regarded as a minor disaster directly expanded into a 'food shortage' affecting half of Nan County.

"Leave a team of soldiers and horses to guard here, and send someone to the county governor's house to inform Zhan Qin and ask him to bring people to transport the food here. The rest of you, follow me!"

Lord Mo, who already knew about the urinary nature of these clan members, was not shocked by the hundreds of thousands of stones of food stored here. After all, he had already seen this kind of thing once when he was in Korea.

After laying out the next tasks with an expressionless face, Mr. Mo was about to turn around and leave Feng Mansion, heading to the other three clans' territories.

In fact, Lord Mo did not plan to take action personally for the remaining three clans at first. Originally, he only needed to find 'evidence' here, and then he would send a signal with fire brimstone to notify the other three parties to take action directly.

However, the fact that the Feng family privately cultivated an 'army' was beyond Mo Jun's expectation.

So when it was unclear whether the other three major clans were involved in this matter, Mr. Mo decided to act more safely.

However, just as Mr. Mo was about to leave, he saw a black-armored soldier running in a hurry and reported to Mr. Mo in a low voice: "Sir, there is a situation!"

After a while.

Following the black armored soldiers, Mo Jun came to an extremely hidden basement under Feng Mansion.

And just after Mo Jun saw clearly the situation in this basement, his originally calm mood experienced unprecedented violent fluctuations for the first time...

······

The Zhu clan's clan is not far from Feng Mansion.

The Zhu family is the family that controls the most "underground forces" among the four major clans in Nan County. Most of the "underground forces" are lawless people with no rules at all.

Those who want to subdue the "underground forces" can only be more vicious, more brutal, and more lawless than them.

Therefore, Zhu Baili, the head of the Zhu clan, is also the person with the most violent temper among the four major clans.

In order to prevent the Zhu clan from jumping over the wall and causing an accident, the army surrounding the Zhu clan was also personally commanded by Li Xin, and cooperated with Jiu Jianchi, a first-rate master in the world, to take action together.

"General Li's rash mobilization of border troops may be contrary to legal principles!"

At this time, there was a confrontation between the two parties in front of the gate of the Zhu family.

On one side were the black armored soldiers of the Qin State headed by Li Xin, but on the other side there was only one person. He was an old man with narrow eyes, a smile, and wearing official uniform, who looked like a fox.

This person is Zhu Lunanian, the county magistrate of Nanjun.

The duty of the county magistrate is to assist the county governor in managing the administrative and prison work in the county. His status is the same as that of the county lieutenant and the censor. He is one of the three highest officials in a county besides the county governor.

In the previous Nanjun, the county captain was concurrently served by Meng Wu and the censor was Lu Buwei.

And now behind this Jun Cheng is none other than the Zhu clan among the four major clans.

So even when facing an entire army at this moment, Zhu Lunan still looked calm and composed.

"This general received a report that someone smuggled Chu armor into the capital of Ying with the intention of rebelling. Now I am ordered to mobilize a large army to investigate the rebels. How can it be illegal?"

"Haha~~ General Li doesn't seem to understand what I mean. What I mean is that General Li's investigation of the rebels is legal and reasonable, but what evidence does General Li have to prove that this matter is related to my Zhu family?"

"In addition, General Li said that he was ordered to mobilize the army. Whose order was it from? General Meng, or... the Lord Sheriff?"

Zhu Lunan is a bit rich and smiles like a kindly rich man. However, through his fox-like eyes, it can be seen that this man is obviously not as simple as he seems on the surface.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "This matter is a military secret, so I have no comment."

Zhu Lunanian was not annoyed when he heard what Li Xin said. He still laughed and said, "Since General Li doesn't want to say more, I won't ask any more questions."

"However, according to Qin law, any deployment of more than fifty soldiers must be issued by the king himself. Even if the Mongolian general is stationed at the border and has the right to mobilize troops on the battlefield, he can only mobilize troops externally."

"If General Li can't give a reasonable explanation for what happened today, then I won't be blamed for asking the King and the Queen Mother to join General Li in mobilizing troops privately and oppressing the people."

At the end, Zhu Lunan no longer concealed his true nature, and two cold lights suddenly bloomed in the narrow slits of his eyes.

Hearing this, Li Xin also fell into silence for a while.

What Zhu Lunan said was not entirely unreasonable. At least according to the laws of the Qin State, tonight's troop deployment was indeed unreasonable.

If tonight's action cannot obtain sufficient "evidence", then once the other party counter-involves them, I am afraid that Mo Jun, Li Xin, and Meng Wu who mobilized troops tonight will have to suffer.

Li Xin became famous at a young age, and now he has reached his current position in his prime. Naturally, he does not want to give up the status and reputation he has worked so hard for.

Therefore, faced with Zhu Lunan's remarks, he was in a bit of a struggle for a while.

Zhu Lunanian seemed to see Li Xin's inner hesitation, and suddenly his face changed, and he smiled and said: "Of course, if General Li retreats tonight, we can discuss it slowly in the future. I can treat tonight's matter as a A misunderstanding, what does General Lee think?"

Li Xin looked at Zhu Lunanian who was smiling like a fox across from him, but he didn't have time to respond.

suddenly.

Suddenly I heard a cold voice without any emotion behind me: "I don't think so. The Zhu family made armor privately and intended to rebel. The evidence is conclusive. I now issue a verdict with the power of the governor of Nan County and arrest the Zhu family immediately." The whole clan will be brought to justice, and if there is any resistance, they will be killed on the spot."

"Jun Mo, do you dare?"

As soon as Mr. Mo's voice sounded, an old man in green clothes suddenly rushed out from the gate of Zhu Mansion, his eyes were spitting fire, his beard was flamboyant, he looked like an angry lion, and he shouted loudly toward the front.

Whoosh!

As soon as the old man in Tsing Yi finished speaking, a spear suddenly shot out and instantly penetrated the old man in Tsing Yi's chest, nailing him and the spear to the gate of Zhu Mansion.

The old man in green turned out to be the current head of the Zhu family, "Zhu Baili". Zhu Baili obviously did not expect that Lord Mo would actually dare to do something to him, so until he died, he still had a furious expression on his face and his eyes were filled with anger. Incredible color.

"The Zhu family intends to rebel. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

After nailing Zhu Baili to death with a spear, before Li Xin and Zhu Lunan could even react, Lord Mo led the black-armored soldiers and rushed directly into the Zhu Mansion.

The battle ended after two quarters of an hour.

As expected.

The Zhu family also hid a group of 'guards' secretly, but this time Lord Mo was prepared in advance, and Li Xin brought a lot of troops, so the other party did not cause any trouble.

As for the Zhu family, there are many martial arts masters. After all, they are in charge of many "underground forces" in Nan County, but it is a pity that there are more masters on Mo Jun's side.

This time, Lord Mo did not exterminate the whole Zhu family. After all, there was a public trial to come, and there had to be a few examples of "beheading in public and punishing according to the canon".

After dealing with the affairs of the Zhu family, Mo Jun walked out of the door with a full body of blood, when he saw Zhu Lunan, who had long lost his previous composure, pointing at him with trembling hands,

"Jun Mo, you, you, you, this madman, the Queen Mother will never..."

puff!

Before he could finish his words, Mo Jun stabbed his heart with a backhand sword.

This decisive move made the hearts of the people around him jump.

Then Mo Jun got on his horse and said in a hoarse voice: "The next family!"

At this time, Mr. Mo's eyes were bloodshot, and the low air pressure around his whole body could be felt even from a distance of one foot. This kind of Mr. Mo was completely different from the carefree and carefree look he had in the past.

Even Li Xin, who had always been cold and arrogant, realized what was going on and shut his mouth. He simply left a team of people to guard the 'culprit', sealed off the Zhu family, and then left behind Mo Jun.

"Hey~~ What's wrong with him?" After Mo Jun walked some distance away, Jiu Jian Chi finally couldn't help but asked Zhu Yeqing in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I just saw some nobles' dirty stuff." Zhu Yeqing glanced at her and said calmly.

"oh!"

Jiu Jianchi nodded suddenly.

As a wandering swordsman who had sneaked into the palace of the Four Kings several times to steal wine, Jiujianchi naturally knew the dirty things of many nobles. He was also very angry at first, but as time went by, he gradually became numb.

Because there are too many such things, so many that they cannot be changed by just one person's power.

But then Jiu Jian Chi asked doubtfully: "Isn't this kind of thing normal? Isn't that guy also a noble? Why is he so angry?"

"You ask me? How do I know."

Zhu Yeqing also felt a little confused about Lord Mo's anger.

After all, although the scene I saw in the basement of the Feng family was rare, it was definitely not uncommon among the nobles.

In Zhu Yeqing's view, as a member of the 'noble' group, it is impossible for Mr. Mo to have heard of these things.

But at this moment, the killing intent emanating from Mr. Mo couldn't be faked, so Zhuye Qing felt a little strange.

······

After the Zhu family, there is the Cheng family.

The Cheng clan was not much different from the previous two families. When the army led by Mo Jun and Li Xin arrived, they were instantly bulldozed.

However, when Lord Mo led the black-armored soldiers to the last of the Rong clan, something unexpected happened, because everyone in the Rong clan had been subdued before Lord Mo entered the house.

The person who took control of all the Rong clan also surprised Mo Jun. It was none other than "Mrs. Rong", the contemporary representative of the Rong clan to the outside world.

One thing that is different between the Rong clan and the other three major clans is that the current head of the Rong clan suddenly suffered a serious illness three years ago. After that, no one knew what methods the head wife of the current head of the Rong clan used. The 'temporary power' of the head of the family was actually in the hands of a woman.

When Mr. Mo arrived at the Rong Mansion, most of the main members of the Rong clan were already unconscious, as if they had been drugged. They had been tied up, covered, and handed over to the custody of the black-armored soldiers led by Jian Jiuyuan.

"I have met the county governor."

Seeing Mr. Mo walking into the lobby, Mrs. Rong hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Mr. Mo glanced at the members of the Rong clan who were still awake around him. They were all staring at Mrs. Rong in front of him with hatred, resentment, and anger. He slowly said, "I wonder what Mrs. Rong means?"

Seemingly seeing what Mr. Mo really wanted to ask, Mrs. Rong didn't hesitate much. She just smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to protect myself."

"Not long after I married into the Rong clan, I discovered the Rong clan's ambition to 'rebellion'. I know very well that they are playing with fire, and sooner or later they will get burned."

"So after I just received the news that the county governor had taken action against the other three major clans, I guessed this, so I took a step ahead to kill the family. I just asked the county governor to let me go for the sake of knowing my way back. I, "Lu", have a way out."

The Lu family is Mrs. Rong's natal family and one of the old aristocratic forces in Nan County.

Rebellion is a major crime for the "Yi Tribe", so once the evidence is confirmed later, as the contemporary "acting head" and head wife of the Rong clan, Mrs. Rong's natal "Lu clan" will also not escape liquidation.

Therefore, in order to preserve the 'Lu family', it seems reasonable for Mrs. Rong to exterminate her relatives.

However, Mr. Mo had dealt with Mrs. Rong several times during this period, and he knew very well that this woman was by no means a cheap person, so no one knew how much of what she just said was true or false.

Thought for a moment.

Mr. Mo did not give Mrs. Rong a response, but instead asked, "Where is the food?"

"It's at the grain depot. I can take the governor there now."

The food hoarded by the Rong family is not as good as that of the Feng family, but the amount is still quite large, close to 100,000 dan.

After briefly checking the food.

Mo Jun suddenly asked again as if it was accidental: "Does the Rong family have a meat pond?"
