The man opposite was stunned, his blood surged instantly, and he was about to fight with his hoe.
Suddenly, an old man walked out and placed his cane heavily on the ground.
"Why are you making such a fuss~~~! I'm not dead yet!!!"
The old man's voice was a little weak, and his face was full of grooves, but his cloudy eyes occasionally shone with a cold light.
In an instant, the entire manor was silent. It was obviously the clan leader or an elder.
The Zhou family was in a more miserable situation. Not only were there few people, they were also pinned to the ground and blasted with hammers.
"Ah, Zhou Lin is dead~~!"
Suddenly a voice rang out. After the two groups separated, they all supported their companions and stepped back. They clearly saw a person lying on the ground, his whole body seemed to be soft and boneless.
A large blood hole on the forehead indicates that this person is already dead and there is no room for change.
Gao Yushi stroked his long beard and knew in his heart that he might not be able to be kind today.
Seeing Zhou Lin's body, the Zhou family members immediately pointed at the people in the manor, their eyes turned red.
A few of the younger servants even sobbed in their voices, not that they had a good relationship with Zhou Lin.
Ha, you owed me money, and I came to your door and was beaten up and killed one of you. This must be so frustrating.
When the steward of the Zhou family saw the censor coming, he hurriedly raised his hands and said.
"Master Yushi, we came to collect the debt. Not only did they not pay back the money, they actually beat our people to death. What do you think?"
The old man's eyes were half-squinted, and there was almost no flesh on his cheeks, looking like he was about to die.
"Humph, it was just a chaotic fight. How did you know it was someone from my manor who did it? Maybe it was one of your own who killed him and wanted to put the blame on us."
Gao Yushi gave Ma Xiaowei a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward to investigate.
Zhou Lin was on the ground with a flat wound on his head, except for a depression in the middle. He looked around and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.
At this time, he came to the crowd in Zhuangzi. After carefully identifying them, he pulled out a young man from the crowd.
Suddenly, everyone in Zhuangzi was in confusion, talking about something, but they did not dare to confront Colonel Ma.
"The people on the ground were obviously hit by flat blunt objects. The people in the Zhou family were all armed with weapons. Only those in Zhuangzi were using farm tools. The most important thing is that this person's farm tools were still stained with blood. "
"Fighting with weapons can lead to death, and you should be punished~~~ beheaded!"
"This general will show mercy~~~!"
"Pfft~~!"
A big head rose into the sky, with a look of pride and arrogance on its face until it died.
The old man, who was still looking listless, suddenly widened his eyes.
"Hmph, it seems that no one in our clan remembers it. Okay, here comes someone~~~"
Several young people immediately ran to the old man's side, looking respectful.
"Go, go nearby and gather people with the same surname as us~~ I want to go to the county governor's house to see Mr. Wu An, but I want to ask if the lives of the people of Guizhou and I are so worthless."
The old man is really angry. Xia Guomin has a tough style. It doesn't mean that you are loud because you are an official. If you make a fuss, it is not impossible to kill you directly.
But now the laws are stricter. If it were more than ten years ago, many officials would be afraid of clan power.
But what made the old man unbelievable was that Gao Yushi didn't care at all, but said calmly.
"According to Lord Wu'an's order, I will kill people to pay my life, and I will pay my debts. If I promise to cause greater commotion, or even a clan fight, the participants, no matter whether they are dozens, hundreds, or thousands, will all be killed, killed, killed~~~!"
Lieutenant Ma waved his hand, and five hundred county soldiers instantly formed a military formation, looking into the manor with a look of iron blood on their faces.
At this time, those people were dumbfounded. This trick was very useful before, why is it not useful now.
The old man's face turned pale with anger at this time. He fought with the county soldiers. He was just old and did not suffer from cerebral thrombosis.
"You still haven't paid back the money?
The two sides can discuss it among themselves, but if a human life occurs, we must take care of it. Now one has been executed. If you are not convinced, you can try it! "
At this time, a man and a woman rushed out, holding the boy's body tightly and crying loudly.
"Son, you died so miserably."
"How can we both survive?"
"My father has already told you about a wife. Now, I will send the white-haired girl to the black-haired girl."
After the two wailed for a while, they stood up and came to the old man, whimpering and saying, "Elder of the clan, you, you have to make the decision for us, we haven't even released the fifth server yet."
Lieutenant Ma shouted, "Load the crossbow and prepare to shoot!"
The soldiers in the front row were getting ready. If this formation was only a slight deterrent just now, now this formation is like a beast with claws exposed, planning to devour people.
The originally noisy manor suddenly became quiet. Hundreds of people stood at the entrance of the manor and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Even the dullest person can feel the murderous aura coming towards his face, as if there is a sharp weapon constantly testing back and forth under his neck.
In just three minutes, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and fainted. Everyone was shocked and started to carry him in with all their hands.
Hundreds of people suddenly turned into birds and beasts and dispersed because of an old man.
Lieutenant Ma smiled coldly. He had been bullied by clan forces before, but he didn't expect that there would be times when they would be defeated.
To be honest, he really hopes that the other party will take action. If he takes action, he will kill Yu.
When the matter became such a mess, it could only be ended hastily. Ma Xiaowei also told the people inside Zhuang Yuan.
If you have any dissatisfaction, go directly to Zhuangzi to find your Majesty. Whoever dares to cause trouble in Yuntong will be punished by that corpse.
The people in the manor could still leave after seeing that they had nothing to take advantage of.
The Zhou family took a look and figured they couldn't get the money. When they were about to leave, they were stopped by Gao Yushi.
"Master Gao, is there anything else? One of us died and we have to go back as soon as possible. There are still many things."
It has to be said that the people of Xia are very tough. If you dare to talk like this to the censor of a county in other vassal states, you will be pressed to the ground and rubbed in minutes.
After arriving at Zhou's house, Gao Yushi began to understand. After all, he had never been involved in lending.
An hour later, Gao Yushi left in confusion. He never expected that the scale of loans in the entire Yuntong County would be so huge.
Moreover, not only are there many people involved, but they are from almost every class, and even some wealthy tenant farmers will participate.
For example, a country squire, although he has a lot of land and industry, but not much money and food, can ask the tenant farmers below to contribute capital, provide food, and then lend it out to make a profit. The acceptance level is very high.
Gao Yushi plans to collect some more information and hand it over to the king after it is complete.
Your Majesty is not particularly strict about what you report, but you are very demanding about completeness.
A few days passed by.
Zhuangzi, fifth floor, Yang Qian leaned against the balcony, eating snacks and holding a greeting card in surprise.
"Why did Haichaohou come to my Yuntong County? Are you tired of living?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I don't understand why he came here. Master, wasn't it written on the greeting card?"
Yang Gan shook the greeting card and sneered, "It's all just talk~~~!"
"Okay, let him in!"
"promise!"
Not long after, Hai Chaohou strode into the inner hall downstairs from outside.
Yang Qian wasn't familiar with him, so he wouldn't be allowed to come to the fifth floor.
"Hahaha, how come you have time to come to Haichaohou? It's a remote place~~!"
At this time, the sea tide turned into double eyelids, and the temples were also stained with two spots of wind and frost, he said quite tiredly.
"Wu An-kun, long time no see, you still look like the same person~~~!"
Yang Qian said noncommittally, "Oh, then why?"
During the tide, I was so exhausted, as if I had stayed up all night for three days and three nights. "
After saying that, Yang Gan's tone changed and he said with a smile, "Hai Chaohou, you are not young anymore. Don't dwell on the bed. It's a bone-scraping steel knife, which is not good for your health."
Hai Chaohou, who had just sat down, couldn't help but hesitate in his movements. He smiled again and lowered his posture very low.
"Wu'an Lord, you are in charge of the five counties. I am afraid that you will be able to hold that position in the future. This time I am here specifically to give you a gift."
Yang Gan told him his identity. Hai Chaohou knew his identity and came to give him a gift? Do you want to invest in yourself?
Sorry, I have enough money and don't need an angel wheel.
"Haha, I'm not talented, and my life is pretty rough, but I never accept food from outside. I especially don't like people giving me things for no reason."
Hai Chaohou's smiling face suddenly froze.
Yang Qian also looked at him with a frown on his face. This guy is very nonsensical. He came here to give gifts for no reason? Do I know you well?
Could it be that he wanted to curry favor with himself? There is no reason. The title of Haichaohou is hereditary. Why are you currying favor with yourself? Even if he becomes a king, it has nothing to do with him.
Is it possible that he also knows when he wants to reform?
Looking at Hai Chaohou's shining eyes, Yang Gan shook his head suddenly, it was so disgusting.
"Haichaohou, Mingren doesn't say secret words, you just say, you come to give me a gift for no reason? How can I dare to accept it? After all, the family regards me as a mortal enemy. If I accept the gift casually, I may not survive now."
Hai Chaohou's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble.
"Haha, to be honest, this gift was left behind by my father in his early years. It was given by King Wu, but it is of no use in my hands."
Yang Gan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Tell me if it's something I'm interested in."
Hai Chaohou took out a document from his arms and looked at the color on it. It had obviously been kept for many years.
"This is?"
Yang Gan was a little unsure. Could it be that he was planning to give himself all the land in Haichao County? Impossible, his land has been robbed by himself now, ahem, take it over, where did he get the land from?
How can that be done? Gifts always need to be reciprocated. In this case, wouldn't it be to get benefits from yourself? However, Yang Qian is quite interested. If he can take advantage, he may consider it.
