The Three Kingdoms: I asked you to save Guan Yu, not to destroy Sun Quan.

As a time traveler, Guan Xing had naturally heard of the formidable reputation of Wushi Powder.

This thing was very popular during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and most of the so-called famous scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties used it.

Guan Xing also knew the name He Yan very well; he was Cao Cao's son.

As for why Cao Cao's son had the surname He, we have to mention the spirit of Cao Wei, because He Yan's mother was Cao Cao's concubine.

It is said that He Yan was the grandson of General He Jin. Historically, he was the first to take Wushi Powder and actively promoted it, opening up sales channels for Wushi Powder.

I just didn't expect it to spread so quickly, reaching Jiangdong in just a few years?

Guan Xing kicked the purple box away, turned around and said, "It's not appropriate for us to interfere in Commandant Ning's family affairs. Let's leave with Gu Mu."

The group silently escorted Gu Mu away, and considerately closed the door behind them.

Soon only Ning Huan and his wife remained in the room. Ning Huan picked up his knife and walked towards the bed, gritting his teeth as he went, "You bitch, when you conspired with Gu Mu to kill my parents and get me imprisoned, you never thought I'd ever get out, did you?"

The concubine was terrified, her face turning pale. She threw off the covers, knelt down, and pleaded, "Ning Huan, oh no, my husband, I'm so sorry. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. Let's live a good life together from now on. I'll try my best to make it up to you, okay?"

Ning Huan originally wanted to question her, but seeing her naked and begging for mercy made him feel disgusted. He didn't want to waste any more words with her, so he rushed onto the bed and swung his knife at her.

ah ah ah...

Accompanied by a scream, a jet of blood sprayed onto Ning Huan's face, making his face, twisted with rage, look even more ferocious.

Despite this, Ning Huan was still not satisfied and continued to swing his sword, slashing once, twice...

At the same time, Guan Xing, who had retreated to the courtyard, ignored the dazed Gu Mu and turned to instruct, "Shen Yi, go and question the servants of the manor, investigate the crimes Gu Mu has committed over the years, and persuade the victims to come to us to file a complaint. Gu Mu is not an ordinary person; killing him requires legal procedures. Remember to interrogate them separately to prevent them from colluding."

"Xie Chong, go and take inventory of the grain, fodder and weapons in the manor. Take everything you can, it's our spoils of war."

"Gan Xun, take Gu Mu away to rest. This kid has overdosed on drugs and won't wake up for a while."

The three men had just left when the door opened from the inside, and Ning Huan, covered in blood, walked out, knelt down facing northwest, and cried out in grief, "Father, Mother, your son has avenged you. Rest in peace."

After saying that, he kowtowed three times on the ground, then turned to face Guan Xing and continued to kowtow: "Captain, from now on, Ning Huan's worthless life belongs to you. You can make me go through fire and water, but I will never go through fire and water."

Ning Huan spoke with sincerity and unwavering resolve, because only he himself knew how desperate he felt when he was wrongfully imprisoned.

He thought he had no hope of revenge in this lifetime and could only stay in the dark and sunless prison cell watching the adulterous couple go unpunished. But fate had other plans, and he met Guan Xing.

Guan Xing helped him escape his suffering and avenge his family, showing him kindness as if he were a second life. Such a great kindness could not be repaid in any way.

Guan Xing bent down to help him up, patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's good that you've avenged yourself. Now you should look forward. Go and organize the manor's accounts, especially to find the secret accounts that the Gu family has been hiding."

We need to give this kid some work to distract him, otherwise, who knows what he might do if he continues to wallow in hatred.

Ning Huan stood up and bowed, saying, "Rest assured, Captain, I will definitely find out the Gu family's shady dealings."

After saying that, he took Guan Yan to check the accounts, while Guan Xing stayed behind and waited patiently.

Soon Xie Chong, Shen Yi, and the others returned one after another, and the situation they reported greatly surprised Guan Xing.

This small manor in front of us actually contains over 100,000 shi of grain, nearly 10,000 swords, bows and crossbows, 100,000 arrows, and even more than 200 sets of armor and over 80 warhorses.

These provisions and supplies could easily arm nearly ten thousand soldiers. And this is just one of the manors. What about the other manors? What about all the manors combined?

With so many supplies in hand, Gu Yong, the head of the Gu family, would dare to go head-to-head with Sun Quan, right?

The power and influence of the Jiangdong gentry is terrifying!

Guan Xing thought the supplies were already shocking enough, but he didn't expect there to be more.

Ning Huan soon discovered a secret vault in the accounting office, which contained over 100,000 strings of copper coins, three boxes of gold ingots, and a number of jewels.

One string of coins is equal to one thousand coins.

In addition, there was a whole room full of account books, all recording the situation of the Gu family's land, such as how many acres of fertile land a certain place had, who cultivated it, what the yield per acre was, and how much the rent was.

Also, details such as who borrowed money for a certain reason, how much interest, and when it will be repaid.

Although it doesn't specify what to do if you can't repay the money, even a fool could guess that violent debt collection methods would be involved.

Gu Yong, the head of the Gu family, had a good reputation among scholars and the common people, but seeing these things, Guan Xing was a little confused about where his reputation came from.

Guan Xing ordered the soldiers of the three battalions to take turns visiting the warehouse, letting these country bumpkins broaden their horizons. The result was self-evident: they completely stunned everyone.

They'd never even dreamed of having so much money.

After the tour, everyone gathered in the courtyard. Guan Xing faced the crowd and shouted, "You've all seen the wealth in the warehouse, right? Can anyone tell me how long it would take to save up this much money if you lived frugally using your methods?"

The generals were all speechless. That wealth couldn't be accumulated through hard work and frugality.

Even if they didn't eat or drink, they couldn't save up this much money even if they started from the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Besides, this is only a part of the Gu family's wealth.

Guan Xing continued, "Now you know why we fought against the landlords and distributed land to the peasants, right? It's because your suffering wasn't caused by your lack of effort, but by someone stealing the fruits of your labor that should have belonged to you."

"Is the grain in the warehouse just grain? No, it's your blood and sweat!"

Previously, the crowd did not understand the significance of overthrowing the local tyrants, but now some of them did. With red eyes, they roared hoarsely, "Overthrow the local tyrants and distribute the land! Overthrow the local tyrants and distribute the land!"

The shouts of thousands of people shook the heavens, startling even the dark clouds in the sky into retreating.

Just as Guan Xingjing was about to continue after they had finished venting, Gan Xun rushed over and said, "Captain, Gu Mu has woken up."

Guan Xing waved his hand and said, "Dismissed..."

After saying that, he followed Gan Xun to Gu Mu, clasped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Young Master Gu, how have you been?"

Gu Mu glared at him and asked unhappily, "Hey Guan, I haven't offended you, have I?"

Guan Xing laughed and said, "Indeed not, but you are blocking my way. My father has decided to implement land reform in Jiangdong, distributing the land of the gentry to the common people for cultivation. You gentry will definitely not agree to this, so the conflict between us is irreconcilable."

Gu Mu roared in horror, "What the hell? You and your son actually want to reform the law? Are you out of your mind? Don't forget that your Guan family is also a noble family."
