The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

As these words spread, the people were suddenly in an uproar. They didn't know whether the matter was true or not, but when they saw that King Qin Jiang Fan was making the decision for them and selling grain at a low price, everyone immediately knew that someone was framing King Qin.

The people immediately knelt down and shouted slogans such as "Long live the King of Qin".

When Li Xiaozhi saw this scene, he stood still. He did not expect Jiang Fan to be so decisive as to mobilize the army and deal with the matter with thundering means.

With powerful military force as a backing, there is no conspiracy or scheme that cannot be broken.

However, apart from food, what about the remaining stockpiles of supplies?

For example, salt, sugar, cotton cloth, etc.

But just as he had this thought, he heard patrolmen appear on the street. They were wearing military uniforms and shouting.

"Since some people are hoarding various urgently needed supplies, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has ordered the Huaining Commercial Bank under his name to sell the urgently needed supplies. Those who need them can bring their household registration documents to buy them. Those who don't have documents can get them!"

As the voice reached Li Xiaozhi's ears, Li Xiaozhi was shocked again.

Looking at those people who left, he couldn't help but admire them in his heart and a wry smile appeared on his face. He thought that Jiang Fan might be overwhelmed by this incident, but now it seems that he was overly worried.

From the appearance of the army to the thundering attack, and then to the countermeasures, I'm afraid all of this had already been calculated by Jiang Fan.

It's ridiculous that those people were still thinking about disrupting Dayan's economy and using rumors to destroy the reputation of the King of Qin, but they never expected that they would be suppressed by someone as soon as they took action.

Once the rumor appeared, and then the King of Qin's people came out to debunk the rumor, no matter how far the rumor spread, it would only let the people know that someone was framing the King of Qin.

Rumors will only backfire in the end. The time for them to explode has not yet come. When the truth comes out, the rumor spreaders and the people who are in charge of this matter will suffer unimaginable backlash.

Although Li Xiaozhi only saw the changes in Jiangning City, judging from the development of the situation, the King of Qin had probably already completed his deployment in all parts of Dayan.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaozhi felt a surge of shock in his heart, and he admired Jiang Fan even more and was full of respect for him.

No wonder the princes couldn't defeat Jiang Fan, with such foresight and great means. How could those princes be Jiang Fan's opponent?

Even though Jiang Fan was not in Dayan, he had already made preparations. This was certainly due to the efforts of Jiang Fan's virtuous wives, but the one who was always the mastermind was His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.

Thinking that the other party was only in his early nineteen years old, younger than him, Li Xiaozhi couldn't help but admire him.

A smile appeared on his face, and he felt relieved. His Li family could only be considered icing on the cake, and he thought it might be a timely help.

However, he was glad that he made the decision and that his father listened to his advice.

If his Li family and the people of the five surnames and seven families go all the way to the end, I am afraid the final outcome will be tragic.

Although Li Xiaozhi hated the aristocratic families, he was still surnamed Li and could not bear to see the Li family fall into the abyss. Even if the Li family did not become an aristocratic family, he did not want the Li family to perish.

At the same time, as some people were arrested, representatives of eight families from the five surnames and seven clans gathered together in a residential area in Jiangning City.

After hearing about this, the leaders headed by the Cui family immediately asked their subordinates to spread the news to the capital. They also knew that they might have fallen into a trap.

Especially when salt, sugar, cotton cloth and other supplies reappeared and were sold at extremely low prices, they knew that they might have fallen into Jiang Fan's trap.

Not only did he purchase a lot of strategic materials at high prices, but he was also tricked by Jiang Fan.

Not to mention whether they could sell the materials they purchased, now that Jiang Fan had mobilized the army to launch a thunder attack, it was even questionable whether they could escape unscathed.

Not long after they spread the news and were thinking of countermeasures, a number of troops broke into the house and captured everyone present.

In addition to these responsible persons, all officials from the five surnames and seven families in Jiangning City who had participated in the riot were also arrested. Of course, some people fled after hearing the news!

But most of the people from the five surnames and seven families were caught in one fell swoop. The thundering methods that appeared in Jiangning were carried out in various places in Dayan.

After those troops entered various places, they dispersed to various counties and prefectures. With the evidence provided by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, most of them were arrested.

There were tens of thousands of people arrested from the Five Surnames and Seven Families. Even some of the small families and merchants who participated in the incident were also arrested.

Take Jiangning as an example, there were 600 to 700 people arrested. They were finally taken outside the city of Jiangning, and the people who heard the news flocked to the outside of the city, and there were tens of thousands of people who came to watch the excitement.

They surrounded the execution ground outside the city and made it impossible to get in or out. The generals of the White Robe Army were in charge of the execution. The prisoners below included the prefect, the judge, the heads of the five surnames and seven families, as well as some small families and unscrupulous businessmen.

Of course, some of them were coerced, but those who were coerced were not sentenced to death. The rest were all evildoers.

Although the Jinyiwei's intelligence contained some errors and omissions, it was still very accurate.

Outside Jiangning City, people were slaughtered in large numbers, and the people were clapping and rejoicing.

Before, they were worried about food, salt, sugar, cotton cloth and other problems. They even complained.

Now, the King of Qin has used thundering means to not only clarify the rumors, but also sentenced these people to death by beheading. Jiang Fan's prestige among the people has become even higher.

However, the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, as well as those merchants and small families who took advantage of the situation and harmed the people, were completely unlucky. They were killed one after another, their property was confiscated, and their families were exiled.

Jiang Fan was really worried that there would be no one for his land reclamation project. There were hundreds of thousands of people implicated in the incident of the five surnames and seven families of Dayan. If these people were exiled to the land reclamation site, several more granaries would appear.

Just when six or seven hundred people were beheaded outside Jiangning City, Jiang Fan had already rushed to the capital on horseback. Someone had already taken charge of the matter here, and Jiang Fan rushed back to the capital to deal with those aristocratic families!

His father didn't dare to take action against those aristocratic families, but Jiang Fan was not afraid. Just this time, Jiang Fan launched thunderous attacks in various places in Dayan, killing many people and making rivers of blood. A rough calculation showed that this time, there were 70,000 to 80,000 people killed from the five surnames and seven families as well as those small aristocratic families and merchants.

The branches of the Five Surnames and Seven Families in various places were uprooted. Not only the Five Surnames and Seven Families, but also many of the smaller families were uprooted.

When Jiang Fan was rushing to the capital, the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Families in various places quickly passed the news to the capital. Some even sent pigeons to deliver letters.

The remaining three families of the five surnames and seven families saw the fate of the four families of the five surnames and were trembling with fear. The three families gathered together. The heads of the three families looked extremely unhappy.
