More than 100 large families who plotted rebellion were raided. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The intrigues and tricks of these people are vulnerable in front of the ironclad forbidden army of the imperial court, and they are like a paper wall that can be broken with a single stab. They screamed in fear, cried and struggled.

But Li Chao has an order, and those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot.

Feng Xiaoan heard that the government soldiers outside were banging on the door, and asked his subordinates to hold up the door and prevent the government soldiers from coming in. Then he went to the study, took off the jade sword from the wall, and took the sword and went to the backyard.

is meeting a frightened wife and concubine.

"Official, what's going on outside, I heard that some officials and soldiers are banging on the door!" Feng asked.

Feng Xiaoan looked at his wife, who already had some silver threads on her head, although the were old, they still had charm. It is well maintained, the skin is smooth, and with the gorgeous brocade clothes, it looks like he is in his thirties. He sighed in his heart, the Feng family is finished. raiding the family and exterminating the family, the end of the wife is very likely to become a prostitute, just like the female dependents of the Luo Zhang family.

He couldn't tolerate that.

"Lady, I'm sorry for you, let's see you in Jiuquan!" After speaking, Feng Xiaoan drew his sword.

A sword stabbed into his wife's chest, and Feng's wife was stunned and looked at her husband in disbelief. This husband, who has been married for more than 30 years, is a good man, a good husband, a good father and a good parent in her eyes, but now he suddenly went crazy.

"You ......"

"I won't let you be defiled by anyone else!" Feng Xiaoan pushed the sword forward a few more points.

Feng's wife spurted blood foam from her mouth, and her eyes gradually lost color.

The girl next to her screamed.

Feng Xiao'an ignored them standing there screaming, he drew his sword, held his wife and slowly lowered her to the ground. Reaching out his hand, he gently wiped his wife's eyelids off, then got up and walked towards the inner courtyard.

He went to the houses of some of the beautiful concubines and cut them down one by one with a sword.

These young and beautiful concubines, when the Feng family is copied, the fate can be imagined. His rich and filial piety woman will never be ridden by others.

In the backyard of the Feng family, screaming again and again.

The concubines and the kataka fled in all directions, like birds and beasts.

Some of the concubines who were caught cried and begged for mercy.

Feng Xiao'an is crazy.

"I'm for your good, there is only humiliation to stay, the big tree of the Feng family has fallen, and you won't have a good life. Are you willing to live in a humble life, and sleep for a thousand riders and ten thousand? You go first, and I'll come later. ”

One sword and one for all.

When he killed all his concubines and rushed to the courtyard of the children inside, he looked at the young children, but he couldn't do it. Older sons and daughters are married, and here are only a few children who are only a few years old.

"Daddy, don't kill me!"

"Son, it's not that Dad is ruthless, it's that Dad doesn't want you to suffer that."

Feng Xiaoan cried bitterly, at this time, he did not regret the plan to make a rebellion, he only hated the court in his heart, hated Li Chao, hated them for coming to rob the Feng family's property, hated them for forcing him to have no way out.

It's all forced by the imperial court.

The government soldiers forcibly entered Feng's house, only to find that the backyard was filled with smoke and flames.

"The officials went crazy, killed the lady and the little Langjun, set fire to the house, and set themselves on fire!"

The frightened Feng family saw the officers and soldiers coming in, as if they had seen a savior.

Wang Xuance, who led the team, frowned when he heard this.

This Feng Xiaoan is really a madman. He actually died on the verge of death, and he killed his family and then set himself on fire.

"A team of people went to put out the fire, and the others arrested the Feng family, and don't let any of them escape!"

The fire of the Feng family was quickly extinguished, this fire was put out suddenly, there was no preparation, the fire was together, the government soldiers rushed in, and everyone extinguished the fire together. The fire didn't cause much damage, it just burned a few rooms.

However, Feng Xiao'an died.

His body was found from the fire, he drank poisoned wine, he had died of poison before the fire burned him, his body was burned by smoke and fire, it was not decent, but it was confirmed that it was Feng Xiao'an.

"Team leader, Feng Xiao'an's eldest sons are not at home, and several younger sons have been killed by him, even his wife and concubine have been stabbed to death by him with a sword, such a ruthless and crazy guy." A government soldier reported to Wang Xuance.

"Well, I know, immediately seal up the Feng family, register all the money and food one by one, and send someone to take care of it. In addition, immediately interrogate the Feng family's stewards, servants, etc., find out the identity of the Feng family, and also find out other people outside, and see if you can know the other property of the Feng family. ”

Feng Xiao'an is dead, and the matter is not over.

The result of the Feng family's disposal was to raid the family and exterminate the clan. This extermination does not need to destroy the nine clans, but only the direct family members of the Feng family after the three generations of Feng Xiao'an. The adult males of the family were executed, the underage was exiled to the army, and all the females were confiscated into the church. As for the employment of the Feng family, severance. Slaves, not official slaves. All the property of the Feng family is not official property.

This is the most severe punishment, which directly erases the Feng family.

did not pursue the nine clans such as Feng's in-laws, which can be regarded as extrajudicial grace, after all, the crime committed by Feng Xiaoan is defined as plotting rebellion, which is a heinous crime.

Arrest people, raid homes, and inventory property.

They are all hundreds of years old, and they have a lot of property at home. Gold, silver, jewelry, and even a cellar of copper coins, a warehouse of silk cloth. However, these are not what Wang Xuance cares about the most, what he cares about most is the food of the Feng family.

This is the task that Li Chao focused on giving him, and the Feng family's grain should be confiscated without a single grain left.

1,000 stones, 2,000 stones, 3,000 stones.

Wang Xuance held the account book and faced it page by page.

Many stewards of the Feng family didn't need any coerced confessions or anything like that, they just poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told everything they knew, just asking for leniency.

They know exactly how much property, how much gold and silver, how much cloth, how much field, and how much grain the Feng family has.

"It's gone?"

Wang Xuance looked at the number added up in his account book and was very dissatisfied.

The Feng family, such a big family, there are more than 8,000 stones of grain left in the family?

"Master Hui, there are really only so many. Whatever the slightest concealment, it's all here. ”

"No, the Feng family is such a big family, why is there only so much food left?"

Several stewards looked at each other, a little helpless.

The Feng family's great business is very good, and it is not false that the Feng family is engaged in grain trading, but first of all, the grain market was sluggish last year, and the Feng family lost a lot. At the beginning of this year, the grain market was bullish again, and the Feng family began to collect grain again.

But as soon as the grain was harvested, the imperial court had a new grain policy and many restrictions.

Later, he engaged in and bought, and half of the Feng family's grain was gone.

Later, Feng Xiaoan was arrested, the Feng family went up and down, and then paid the fine, and then comforted the army, etc., which was a lot of food.

In addition, during this time, many tenants of the Feng family ran out of food, most of them did not have a household registration, and they could not receive relief food, so they all asked the Feng family to borrow. The Feng family lent a lot of food, and the Feng family itself had many people and slaves, so they consumed a lot of food every day.

Because of this, now the Feng family actually only has 8,000 stone grain left, otherwise Feng Xiao'an will go crazy.

Eight thousand stone grain, this is too different from what the imperial court expected.

Before Wang Xuance came, he originally thought that he could copy a hundred or two hundred thousand stone grain, after all, the largest grain merchant in Shannan was only 8,000 stone, and he couldn't pay the difference when he went back.

"I suspect that you didn't tell the truth, come here, take these people down, interrogate them separately, dare to conceal them, and serve them with great punishment!" Wang Xuance ordered with an unceremonious black face, and waved his hand to drag these stewards down.

Separate interrogation can verify each other's confessions, and the fastest way to verify the authenticity of their confessions.

It was only interrogated for half a day, and the result only proved that these people were not lying.

Wang Xuance had no choice but to take these back to Li Chao.

In the yamen.

More and more people are coming back one after another, and in front of the government soldiers, those people are indeed vulnerable.

Arrest and confiscate.

The action was very swift and worked very well, and there was no escape.

But Li Chao was not very happy, because the grain confiscated was not much, or even very little.

Feng Xiao'an, the largest grain merchant in Shannan East Road, only found more than 8,000 stone grains in his home, including a lot of coarse grains. Among the other more than 100 large households, most of them only have four or five thousand stone of grain, and some of them are even only two or three hundred stone.

More than 100 were copied, but only about 100,000 stone of grain were copied.

More than 100,000 stones seem to be a lot, but after these more than 100 large families raided their homes, they also copied out a large number of hidden households and slaves. They used to borrow grain from these big families to eat, but now that the big families have fallen, they have to be provided with relief food by the imperial court.

The sum of these more than 100 hidden households and slaves is actually tens of thousands.

The population of 70,000 or 80,000 is quite scary, which fully shows the original strong strength of the heroes.

It would have been a good thing that the imperial court was able to increase nearly 100,000 households and Qi people at once, and that it would have been able to increase a large number of teachers in the future. But the problem is that there is a shortage of food now, and with so many more people coming, the pressure on food is even greater.

These people have no food in their homes and cannot stay in Shannan.

It is not realistic to send it to the frontier according to the old way. As soon as we come, winter will soon begin, and we will have a long way to go. In the frontier land, if you send people there without preparation, you must not freeze to death.

Things are so troublesome, it turns out that the imperial court wants to increase the population and search for hidden households. Now a large number of hermit fugitives have been abandoned by the big families in order to eat, and they have come to the government to settle down, and many slaves have been freed by those big families.

More and more people came to register for naturalization, but the imperial court was not happy.

These populations, who were pushed over by the powerful landlords, were an incomparably heavy food burden for the current imperial court. The landlord's family has no surplus grain, and the court has no surplus grain.

At this time, it was late autumn, and it was too late to even immigrate to the frontier.

Looking at the numbers in front of him, Li Chao suddenly felt that his head was extremely big. I copied more than 100 of them, and as a result, I copied more than 100,000 stones of grain, but I got nearly 100,000 mouths for food to eat.
