After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Zhao Kuan is the patriarch of the Zhao family. Mu Qing sparing Zhao Kuan's life does not mean that she is unaware of what the Zhao family has done.

This group of refugee troops led by King Jin Qiao Yuanqiong burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities after conquering other cities. They exploited the people even more cruelly than Zhao Kuan and others.

Qiao Yuanqiong and Zheng Fei deserved to be put to death. Zhuge Huaian brought two wooden boxes to the meeting hall.

What Mu Qing and others saw were two heads with neat cuts.

"Well, these two are finally dead."

When Mo Xuzhi saw the heads of Qiao Yuanqiong and Zheng Fei, he felt that he could finally vent his anger from that day.

The death of "Min" made Mo Xuzhi go from contempt to hatred towards Qiao Yuanqiong and Zheng Fei.

Seeing the deaths of the two people today, Mo Xuzhi felt very happy.

The one who had a different mood from Mo Xuzhi was Situ Jin.

Situ Jin had also been practicing martial arts since childhood. The incisions on the two heads were very neat, and even the bone notches at the junction of the head and neck could not affect the overall smoothness.

Situ Jin had never seen anyone else in the Anping Army with such skills in swordsmanship.

The first person Situ Jin guessed was Xiang Quan.

Xiang Quan was a skilled butcher before he joined Mu Qing.

There is a gap between the joints, but the blade is not thick; if the thin blade enters the gap, there must be enough room for the blade to move freely.

For a butcher, cutting up the meat from a pig or cow is a matter of practice and he can do it from the gaps.

Apart from Xiang Quan, Situ Jin couldn't think of anyone else who could make such a neat knife edge.

Zhuge Huaian had mentioned before that the refugee army had already been defeated before Xiang Quan arrived.

Situ Jin suspected that there might be a martial arts master hidden among the silver-armored soldiers who could kill people without them being seen, something that even he could not do.

Mu Qing and Shen Moyan looked at each other, and they easily recognized the cutting marks.

The second brother has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Whether he is hunting monsters or dissecting valuable parts of monsters, the knife edges are always smooth and neat.

and.

Mu Qing thought of Jiang Ji's sword. His second senior brother's sword did not come to this world, so Mu Qing asked Xu Yu to forge a new sword.

This sword is far inferior to the sword that the master gave to the second senior brother. It is simply unable to carry too much spiritual power. Judging from the traces, it must be the second senior brother who killed someone with his sword energy.

Mu Qing quietly looked at Jiang Ji's Mingqing sword, and felt that there was a high probability that the sword would be useless.

Without waiting for his own staff to think about identifying the martial arts master who killed Qiao Yuanqiong and Zheng Fei, Mu Qing asked Shen Moyan to bring up Zhao Kuan and another member of the Zhao family.

"Zhao Kuan colluded with the refugee army, and Zhao Sheng, as the deputy commander of the Anping Prefecture garrison, not only colluded with the refugee army, but also embezzled 10,000 taels of silver.

He will be taken to jail and sentenced at a later date!"

Mu Qing made the final decision.

Zhao Kuan looked at the tied-up Zhao Sheng and was distracted for a moment.

"How come? How do you know my plan with Zhao Sheng?"

Mu Qing ignored Zhao Kuan's question. She was not in the mood to answer the villain's questions for the time being.

Keeping the two of them was also for the purpose of exchanging them for money in the future.

Mu Qing had a rough idea of ​​Zhao Kuan, the head of the Zhao family. He knew that the Zhao family had neither great nor small influence in Shengjing.

Since the collapse of the dynasty, the Zhao family, as a faction of eunuchs, made the right bet and the whole family lived well in Shengjing.

With the Zhao family like this, Mu Qing will not take the initiative to pass on the news of Anping now, but that doesn't mean he won't do it in the future.

When Anping truly appeared in everyone's sight, Zhao Kuan, Zhao Sheng and others would become Mu Qing's bargaining chips to blackmail the Zhao family in Shengjing.

So if they were kept, Mu Qing would get nothing if they died.

Before the Zhao family used money to redeem Zhao Kuan, they took him to mine and tried their best to squeeze out every last bit of value from Zhao Kuan.

As for Zhao Sheng, ever since Zhao Kuan colluded with the refugee army, Zhao Sheng, who had a Zhao family background in the garrison, was detained by Shen Moyan first.

Mu Qing controlled this dangerous factor from the very beginning.

There are nearly 10,000 surrendered soldiers now, and most of them have the spirit of bandits.

Mu Qing would not put them together with the miners in Huang County. He originally wanted to develop the mineral resources in Mingde County.

She had not thought that there were so many coolies. If they were gathered in the same county, mining would be inevitable, and rebellions would often occur.

They do not have to be treated the same as the miners in Huang County.

We can consider allocating some people to Anping County to build roads and some to Mingde County to mine.

There is no salary, but three meals a day is enough. More money will only whet their appetites, so it is better to keep them hanging like this.

Mu Qing arranged their destinations clearly, and the landlords in Li County and Shi County were also imprisoned.

I don’t know how many hidden accounts will be added.

Mo Xuzhi walked back from the meeting hall with the data of the three counties. He was in charge of the household registration, and with thousands or tens of thousands of people added all of a sudden, Mo Xuzhi would be busy for a while.

After finishing the assignment, Mu Qing returned to his office.

When the road in Anping was half built, these landlords and tycoons wanted to seize power.

Anping is poor everywhere. Mu Qing used most of his earnings to subsidize the city, but it still couldn't fill the hole.

Fighting is good.

Now we have miners and money.

It’s just a bit expensive.

Landlords and nobles in Li County, Shi County, and Mingde County were arrested.

In a short while, the people who were trying to flee Mingde County that day and the people from other counties also knew the news.

The people of Mingde County suffered the most oppression.

The day after Zhao Kuan left, some people still habitually went to the farmland for which they had paid rent before.

It was not until they were halfway through their journey that they came to their senses.

The people on the farmland gathered together in a huge crowd.

"Is the Zhao family really gone?"

"You forgot, we all saw him yesterday. His house was searched today."

"The Zhao family is full of bad people. God has finally taken them away."

"I saw it too. The Zhao family had so much grain that it took several carts to transport it all. I have never seen so much corn in my life."

"That's right. Suddenly, without the Zhao family, I feel both happy and unhappy."

"Lord Mu is a good man. Now that the Zhao family is gone, he won't ignore us."

"That's true. Even if I came here on my own initiative today, I don't know if the land here is expensive or not. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it next year."

These people wanted to leave, so they all went outside and poured into the street.

Many people had already gathered in front of the county government office.

The incident in Mingde County had just come to an end last night, and today Zhang Dahe received the decree issued by Mu Qing.

The effectiveness of government decrees is very fast. Since Mu Qing came to Anping, the efficiency of Anping's officials has been terribly high.

Zhang Dahe posted the announcement of the decree at the public notice office in Mingde County.

Now that the largest "landlord" in Mingde County has left, these fields will naturally be returned to the people of Mingde County.

The form of return is not free return.

"It's written in the decree that as long as we can raise enough money to go to the government office, we can redeem our own land and get back the land deeds.

The money will remain the same. The ransom will be the same as the money it was sold to the Zhao family for."

"Mr. Liao, does the decree really say this?"

"Yes, I'll let my student read it to you again."

A young man stood up and read the decree word for word.

The people's half-sorrowful and half-worried hearts finally settled down.

"It's fine as long as I can get the land back. My land was taken by force from the Zhao family. I sold so many good fields connected together for a few taels of silver.

I will go to the county government office to redeem it today."

Many people whose land was forcibly sold and bought suffered from the powerful Zhao family and dared not offend them. Now the government decree clearly told them that they could redeem their land.

The people were overjoyed and wanted to get their land back immediately.

Other people who had to sell their land thought the same way, but they did not have much money at the moment, so they waited until spring to work in Anping to save some money to redeem their land.

All the land of the Tianchi Dynasty belonged to the imperial court, and the people only had the right to use it.

However, even the right to use the land was controlled by the landlords and wealthy people, who exploited the people.

The departure of the Zhao family was a happy event in itself, and coupled with the decree issued by Mu Qing, it immediately won the hearts of the people of the three counties.

Zhang Dahe was also filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

His government affairs in Mingde County were obstructed by the Zhao family at every turn. He knew how hard life was for the people here.

Now that they have finally gotten rid of the Zhao family's control, Zhang Dahe can also start his work in Mingde County.

When I thought about the fact that most of the people in Mingde County were poor, while the Zhao family lived a life of extravagance.

Even the dragon head ornaments in the rockery were made of gold, which made Zhang Dahe very angry.

When Zhang Dahe sent all the Zhao family members to the Mingde County mine, he deliberately extended their workload.

The miners in Mingde County were under the management of Zhang Dahe, so Mu Qing naturally agreed to Zhang Dahe's changes to the miners' hours.
