A storm goes as quickly as it comes.
It was rare that Shaohu, the hairy-chested monster, had a brain for once and neatly arrested all the involved parties, which could be regarded as temporarily settling the dispute on the surface... As for the turbulent situation in the dark, it did not stop, but intensified.
Two days have passed, and Xiong Wuliang has not appeared in public, and there has been no definition of the sudden armed fight in Yingdu City.
As for 'adjudicating the ownership of the disputed land', it is even avoided.
Obviously, neither side could produce evidence, leaving the famous Marquis Quyang at his wits' end!
No matter how you judge, it is always biased!
Zhaoju Mansion.
Ministers from all walks of life, headed by Jing Chong, gathered here, all with happy faces and constant laughter.
Ever since the two small families started making such a fuss, Xiong Wuliang's people were obviously worried about it... Qu Yuan, Zhao Hua and other upstarts had been very low-key these past two days, and even rarely appeared in public.
"Xiong Liang, son, must be panicking at this moment!"
"If it is not handled properly... it will lead to chaos!"
The ministers smiled and nodded.
Zhaoju sat on the main seat with a smile on his face——
Xiong Wuliang, Xiong Wuliang, you may be good at fighting wars with your bad writing... This kind of civil disputes are definitely not what you are good at!
Land disputes between nobles are no small matter.
Even if you choose cold treatment, can you still suppress it for a while?
In any case, the direct cause of this dispute is that Xiong Wuliang burned Yingdu... In other words, this is a responsibility that Xiong Wuliang cannot escape.
"Everyone, you might as well wait quietly." Zhaoju said with a smile: "No matter how Mi Liang decides in the end, everyone must build momentum together and speak out for the other side that cannot get the land!"
"This is a God-given opportunity!"
Jing Chong nodded repeatedly and added: "Let's just say that Xiong Wuliang took a bribe and was so decisive!"
"Let's use this excuse to disrupt Xiong Wuliang's plans and ruin his reputation... Maybe this is a good opportunity to force that guy to step down!"
All the ministers rejoiced!
Look at the group of people under Xiong Wuliang's command - Needless to say, Qu Yuan is the core figure of the old reform school; Le Yi also presided over the reform in Yan State; Shen Dao is the master of the Legalist school.
How can the vested interests in Chu State sleep well with such a group of leadership hanging overhead?
Although Xiong Wuliang made it clear that he was "not going to do any reform in Chu State now"... but it would be a good thing to get this guy back to Quyang County as soon as possible.
Everyone is happy to add trouble to the Chu State under his rule!
"It's a pity..." Jing Chong sighed leisurely: "The two families involved are small families... I'm afraid the pressure is not high enough."
"It would be really lively if the big families started making trouble like this!"
Jing Chong's words were like a bolt of lightning in the dark night, flashing across Zhaoju's mind.
Zhaoju stood up suddenly, his eyes shining!
yes!
More land disputes! Make all the trouble in front of Xiong Wuliang... give that little boy a headache!
The child's current 'cold treatment' will no longer have any effect!
…
Xiong Wuliang's temporary palace.
The heads of the Xu clan and the Hong clan were full of joy and sat obediently in front of Xiong Wuliang... Xiong Wuliang poured a cup of tea for the two clan heads with his own hands, which made them flattered and thanked them repeatedly.
The three of them sat together in a harmonious atmosphere - completely different from what Zhaoju and others had imagined of fighting life and death!
Song Zhe sat behind everyone with a smile on his face, as if everything was under control.
"The storm outside is so bad that the two clan leaders have to be detained here. They are really suffering." Xiong Wuliang said.
The heads of the Xu and Hong clans raised their hands together: "It is an honor for us to serve Marquis Quyang!"
"Your Majesty, don't be polite!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded with a smile, and said leisurely: "The quota for the Lingnan Development Group will be counted among your two clans!"
Hearing this, the Xu clan chief and the Hong clan clan chief looked at each other and stood up suddenly in surprise: "Thank you, lord! Thank you, lord! You are so kind to me. We are willing to go through fire and water for you, and we will not hesitate to die!"
It is said that the Xu family and the Hong family, although noble in name, have already fallen into decline.
Different from those big nobles who have fiefs, finances, and private soldiers - small nobles like the Xu family and the Hong family, except for an empty noble title left by their ancestors and a not-so-big mansion in Yingdu City Other than that, there is no difference between them and civilians.
Even if Xiong Wuliang used the knife of reform, he would not be able to cut them.
Such a small noble is certainly someone Xiong Wuliang can unite with!
As for the 'Lingnan Development Group', it was a piece of pie that Xiong Wuliang drew for the two clan leaders. It's a story for later, so I won't mention it for now.
Although the heads of the Xu clan and the Hong clan didn't know Xiong Wuliang's intention of asking them to pretend to fight like this, they were happy to obey Qu Yanghou's instructions - except for those who were jealous of vested interests, no one in the Chu State wanted to embrace them. On Xiong Wuliang’s thick legs?
Even if there is no big pie from the 'Lingnan Development Group', they are still willing to be driven by Xiong Wuliang! Just to leave a name in the latter's heart!
While Xiong Wuliang, Song Zhe and the other four were drinking tea quietly, there were rapid footsteps outside... The footsteps stopped when they reached the door, and there was a low cough.
Xiong Wuliang immediately stood up, apologized to the two clan leaders, and walked out...
The person coming is Huang Wu, the commander of Qingyu Guard!
Huang Wu and Xiong Wuliang walked to a quiet place, leaned over and whispered for a while... Xiong Wuliang nodded repeatedly, seeming very satisfied...
After a while, Xiong Wuliang returned to the room with a comfortable smile on his face: "Yingdu, there is chaos!"
…
With Zhaoju, Jingchong and others fanning the flames, adding fuel to the flames, and even directly participating in it, a large number of noble ministers in Yingdu started making noises almost at the same time.
Like the Xu and Hong clans, they also had disputes over land!
Pieces of burned-black land, the buildings on it had been burnt out long ago, and there was no evidence whatsoever, but people from two, even three, or four families claimed that it belonged to them.
Anyway, Xiong Wuliang set the fire.
Then the final decision must be made by Xiong Wuliang himself!
Within one day, thirty-seven complaints were filed in front of Qu Yuan. The chiefs of the clans all insisted on their own opinions. They were not as graceful as usual, but they were arguing and chattering...but they all had smiles in their eyes.
Blanch!
Qu Yuan people were all stupid!
This raid by the old nobles came too suddenly... Qu Yuan thought that they would be hostile to Xiong Wuliang, but he did not expect that it would be this form of attack... One day later, the disputed land had actually reached Seventy percent of the total area of Yingdu!
Yingdu is in chaos.
Even the basic order is difficult to maintain!
Qu Yuan couldn't sit still anymore and ran quickly, heading straight to Xiong Wuliang's residence...
