The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

If this continues, not only will the common people feel uneasy, but many local members of Qingfeng Village will also feel anxious, and there is no guarantee that something else will not happen.

Amid the enthusiasm of the crowd,

Chen Ergou continued to introduce the next policy decree to everyone.

"Third, from now on, all human trafficking will be prohibited in Yangzhou. Those who were enslaved or servants by wealthy families, regardless of their reasons, will be released, registered, and allocated land."

"If you are willing to work for a wealthy family, or if you need someone, you need to report to the government office and sign a contract!"

"Fourth, those who kill will be put to death, those who injure others will be punished, those who steal will be punished with criminal penalties, and those who kidnap, mutilate, or sell people alive will all be punished with death!"

"Fifth, the land belongs to the household owner and Qingfeng Village. No one is allowed to sell the land to others privately. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished by death!"

"Sixth, ..."

……

"Ninth, all citizens have the right to report any lawbreakers to Qingfeng Village, who will verify and punish them! The power to interpret all laws rests with Qingfeng Village!"

There are nine rules in total, and each one was formulated by Xiao Ai based on the current situation in Yangzhou, specifically for Qingfengzhai to manage Yangzhou.

Therefore, it is also called "Nine Articles of Qingfeng" by the people of Yangzhou City!

……

After learning that Qingfeng Village had entered the city, some gentry and wealthy families in the city did not even dare to leave the house.

After hearing about the new "Nine Rules of Qingfeng" implemented in Qingfeng Village, most of them looked mournful.

Almost every one of Qingfeng Village's 'Nine Qingfeng Lines' was aimed at them.

It is said that Qingfeng Village will distribute land to all the people in Yangzhou.

Even if they used their toes to figure out whose land was being divided, they would know.

Moreover, Qingfeng Village has completely isolated Yangzhou from the inside and outside. Even if they want to run away now, they can't.

Now, he can only hide in his own mansion anxiously and wait for the judgment of fate.

As for resistance? Or reason?

Stop joking! The Qingfengzhai gang is a group of fierce and extremely ferocious bandits formed by peasants. They will chop people!

Aren’t the dozen or so wealthy salt merchants in the city who were recently eliminated the best proof of this?

In the past, Qingfeng Village’s Wulong Hall of Datongshan, with only a few hundred people, was enough to intimidate the entire Yangzhou city.

Today, there are more than 10,000 Qingfengzhai bandits entering the city.

Such a huge number of bandits is frightening just by hearing about it. How can one even think of resisting?

If the land is gone, it’s gone; it’s good as long as people are alive.

Now, they can only pray silently in their hearts,

I hope the imperial court can send a large army as soon as possible to wipe out Qingfeng Village in Yangzhou and restore peace to them...

In Yangzhou City, in the Lin Mansion.

Lin Ruhai was fidgeting in the study.

From time to time, he looked up at the door, as if waiting for something.

After the salt tax was delivered to Lin Daiyu's carriage and sent out of the city gate,

On that day, one of his concubines who was returning to her parents' home was sent back directly by Qingfeng Village halfway.

At that time, Lin Ruhai was still quite indignant.

But within just a few days, Qingfeng Village had gathered a team of more than 10,000 people on the Datong Mountain outside Yangzhou City.

Such terrifying speed shocked Lin Ruhai deeply.

After careful consideration, he wrote a letter to Qingfeng Li, hoping to ease the relationship.

However, from beginning to end, Qingfeng Li never replied to the letter, nor did he even send anyone to pass on a message.

From then on, Lin Ruhai locked himself up in the Lin Mansion.

He rarely left the Lin residence unless there was something important, and he no longer went to work at the government office.

Today I heard a sudden commotion in the city.

After asking around, he found out that it was the bandits from Qingfeng Village.

No, tens of thousands of troops have entered the city!

Qingfeng Li was even so bold as to order his men to replace the large banner with the word "Qian" on it at the gate of Yangzhou City.

What a bummer!

Such a grand and decisive move really shocked Lin Ruhai and stunned him.
