Ma Laohan is a common man in Ruzhou City, and his sons6 continue to start a family, and he and his wife have a good life.

In particular, last year, the eldest son of his family also got an errand in the state government, which made Ma Laohan even happier.

But last night, Ma Laohan and his wife were terrified all night, which was the first time that Ma Laohan was so panicked after the last time the bandits broke through.

Because the guns outside the city rang out for a long time, and his eldest son was on duty at the west gate of the city, he was worried about his eldest son's safety.

Later, the gunfire gradually stopped, and it was only then that it was dark, and Ma Laohan boldly went out to see what was going on, whether it was really a bandit entering the city.

As soon as Ma Laohan came out of the door, he saw a group of elite soldiers wearing strong and stubborn clothes and carrying torches, walking in front of his door, and he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground on the spot.

"Uncle Ma, don't be afraid, these are the officers and soldiers of our imperial court, and there is no chaotic army entering the city, now you go home honestly first, and when it is dawn, what should you do."

Following the patrol of this group of white dragon soldiers, there was also an officer and soldier who lived nearby, and came out to comfort Ma Laohan at this time.

After Qi Wei entered the city, he sent a large number of white dragon soldiers to inspect and stabilize the situation in the city, and he also selected a group of officers and soldiers from the original Ruzhou City.

Let these officers and soldiers lead the way, patrol with the white dragon soldiers, and comfort the panicked people, it is true that most of the soldiers of the white dragon army do not know the dialect here.

Let these local officers and soldiers in Ruzhou come forward, and it can also dispel the worries of those people.

"It's Zhou boy, have you seen my tiger?"

When Ma Laohan saw this, the young man who lived next to him eased the panic on his face a little, and plucked up the courage to ask.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ma, Brother Ma is fine, but he has a little skin injury on his arm, and when it gets dawn, he will almost be able to come back, you can just wait at home with peace of mind."

"That's good, that's good!" After Ma Laohan got the news that his son was safe, an old face bloomed with a smile.

Such a situation is also being staged in other places in Ruzhou City.

Less than two hours later, the sky was bright, the overall order of Ruzhou City was quite good, and the small-scale riots were quickly quelled.

Among them, it was mainly Xu Jiawei's group of big families in the city who caused the riots, but their little family members quickly collapsed under the power of the White Dragon Army's musketeers and guns.

After Qi Wei captured Xu Taixin, he took control of the state government of Ruzhou with the fastest degree, and most of the officials in Ruzhou City acquiesced to the fact that the White Dragon Army had entered the city.

At the same time, they also accepted Qi Wei's temporary order, after all, even if the White Dragon Army attacked the city this time, they were indeed an army of thieves sent by the imperial court!

In this case, Xu Taixin is bound to be thrown into a place of no return, and no one wants to follow him to the funeral.

"General, in addition to those who made a rebellion last night, except for those who were killed, the remaining dozens of people were all captured alive, according to their confessions, they are from the Xu family."

A White Dragon Army guard walked up to Qi Wei and reported.

"Well, the general has explained that these big landlords in the city with the Xu family as the head must all be cleaned up, and you go and let those people sign and draw the mortgage, this is the evidence.

In addition, you send someone to check that in Ruzhou City, those big families are at odds with the Xu family, and let their head of the family come to see me, and tell them that their opportunity to revive the family business has come. ”

Qi Wei is not Li Tianba, this person is brave and strategic, he is a good hand at leading troops to fight, and he is also very good at handling these trivial matters at the same time.

Otherwise, Li Zixiao would not have attached so much importance to him and has always entrusted him with important tasks.

Li Zixiao took Ruzhou, just for food, and the Xu family was decided, 'killing a group, suppressing a group, and winning over a group' has always been Li Zixiao's core policy to deal with these big households.

Even if Li Zixiao implements land reform, it does not mean that he will eliminate all the big landlords, and Li Zixiao still understands the truth that if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Sure enough, after Qi Wei threw out an olive branch, several big families in Ruzhou City who had been suppressed by the Xu family jumped out one after another and stood up to support the White Dragon Army.

Qi Wei used the power of these big families to quickly complete the complete control of the situation in the city, and collected more than a dozen charges from the Xu family.

Then, Qi Wei directly surrounded the Xu family, and Xu Taixin had already been intimidated by Qi Wei at this time and secretly executed.

In the face of the white dragon army's swords and guns, and the muzzle of the black hole, the Xu family directly succumbed, which made Qi Wei lose the reason to kill.

Qi Wei ordered all the Xu family to be locked up, and the Xu family was raided, and the unlucky ones in the Xu family were the henchmen of the Xu family and several other big families in Ruzhou.

In the process of dealing with the Xu family, Qi Wei followed Li Zixiao's instructions and kept letting those big families who were suppressed by the Xu family rush to the front.

In just one day, Qi Wei conquered Ruzhou, leveled the Xu family, controlled Ruzhou City, and completed the change of power in Ruzhou with lightning speed.

At this time, Xu Taixin reported to the imperial court that the impeachment of Li Zixiao had just been sent to Kaifeng, but it was intercepted by Lu Xiangsheng.

At noon the next day, a cavalry team of more than 100 people outside Ruzhou City rushed to Ruzhou City, and it was Li Zixiao who came.

"General, the situation in Ruzhou City has been decided, Xu Taixin has been secretly executed, according to your instructions, the Xu family and other big households have been controlled by us, and Zhao Teng is raiding the Xu family and other big households."

When Qi Wei saw Li Zixiao coming, he replied to him.

"Well, you handled it very well, and controlling the situation in Ruzhou so quickly will save us a lot of trouble."

Li Zixiao was also very satisfied with Qi Wei's neat and tidy actions, thinking that he was not wrong, and nodded and said.

"On the one hand, we acted quickly, so Xu Taixin didn't expect it, and before he had time to react, we attacked Ruzhou City and captured him alive.

With Xu Taixin's whereabouts unknown, the other officials in Ruzhou City could not resist us at all, and soon, we were still a counterinsurgency army at this time, and we had great righteousness. ”

Qi Wei said calmly.

"Okay, after Ruzhou City is in hand, Ruzhou will be our Ruzhou, let's go, let's go and see how many good things Zhao Teng's kid has copied from the Xu family."

Li Zixiao was in a good mood and led Qi Wei to Xu's house.

On the way, Qi Wei continued to say to Li Zixiao: "General, after entering the city, I have sent someone to check, there are a total of four big grain merchants in the city.

They joined forces to hoard grain and raise the price of grain, and at this time the price of grain in Ruzhou City was nearly four times that of a month ago, and the people were full of complaints, but they were helpless.

Among these four big grain merchants, there are two local to Ruzhou, which are the Xu family and the Zhou family, the old rival of the Xu family.

The other two are foreign grain merchants, and the forces behind them have not been found for the time being, but among the two foreign grain merchants, it seems that one is from Jin merchants and the other is from Jiangnan.

The Xu family was cleaned up by us, and the Zhou family took refuge in us very well with the current affairs, and this time to deal with the Xu family, the Zhou family made a lot of efforts.

As for the other two grain merchants, their subordinates, in accordance with the instructions of the general, did not move them for the time being, and they were so anxious that they sent people to see me several times, but I pushed them down.

Just wait for the general to come and deal with this matter. ”

"Well, you're doing the right thing." After listening to Qi Wei's words, Li Zixiao's eyes were a little cold, and he said in a cold voice.

Li Zixiao encouraged business to be good, but he did not allow these grain merchants to take advantage of such a national crisis, the big country is in trouble with money, whoever dares to stretch out his claws at this time, he will cut off the other party's claws.

At the same time, Li Zixiao's rule is to vigorously support patriotic businessmen and set an example for all businessmen.

Li Zixiao hated businessmen who were in trouble with the country, and even those who betrayed the country and collaborated with the enemy, but Li Zixiao would not kill them all at once, and would give these businessmen a chance to mend their ways.

If they dare to commit it again, they will be punished more heavily, and their families will be exterminated to set an example, and they will not be able to stop the greed in people's hearts without bloody killing.

This is also the reason why Li Zixiao temporarily left those two foreign grain merchants and did not let Qi Wei move.

Soon, Qi Wei took Li Zixiao to Xu's house, looking at the palatial Xu Mansion, Li Zixiao said coldly: "People's hearts are so greedy.

The Xu family can be described as powerful in Ruzhou, but that's it, they are not satisfied, don't blame me for being ruthless, just blame them for blocking the way of people who shouldn't be in the way. ”

After speaking, Li Zixiao walked into the Xu Mansion, and at this time, in the vast courtyard of the Xu Mansion, there were a mouthful of large boxes, and Zhao Teng was carrying several master books, counting them one by one and recording them in the book.

"General." Zhao Teng saw Li Zixiao coming, and hurriedly saluted.

"Leave me alone, you go on." Li Zixiao waved his hand casually and said.

Li Zixiao walked to a large box, and after opening it, more than a dozen boxes were filled with white flowers and silver, as for silk and satin, jade and jewelry were also piled up in another place.

Looking at these yellow and white things, Li Zixiao has long been numb, and silver is just a string of numbers to him now, and Li Zixiao is more concerned about food at this time.

"Zhao Teng, can you find the granary of the Xu family?"

"General Qiyu, several large granaries of the Xu family have all been seized by us, and we will send troops to garrison them at this time, and we will count them later.

However, I have just obtained the account books of the Xu family from the housekeeper of the Xu family, and I have made a general inventory, and if their account books are not wrong, we can confiscate at least 30,000 stones of grain from the Xu family.

In addition, with several other vassal families of the Xu family, we can get at least 50,000 stone of grain, which is enough to solve our dilemma of food shortage. ”

"Well, no matter how much food is too much, you can continue, finish the inventory of all the confiscated materials as soon as possible, and then send me the account books." Li Zixiao said indifferently.

"Yes, General." Zhao Teng replied respectfully.

"General, what should the Xu family do?" At this time, Qi Wei asked.

After Li Zixiao heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, he was also thinking about how to deal with these people of the Xu family, according to Qi Wei's report, when the Xu family was surrounded by the White Dragon Army, they didn't resist.

This made Li Zixiao lose the reason to execute the Xu family, but it is not Li Zixiao's style to let the tiger return to the mountain.

"Leave this matter to the Zhou family to do, give them a chance to take revenge, since they have taken refuge in us, we must give them a little benefit!"

Li Zixiao finally said in a cold tone.

Li Zixiao's words made Qi Wei feel cold, Li Zixiao handed over the disposal of the Xu family to the Zhou family, Qi Wei thought with his toes, the fate of the Xu family would not be so good.

After all, the Xu and Zhou families are in Ruzhou, but they are rivals, the Xu family has suppressed the Zhou family for many years, and now that the Zhou family is in power, they don't want to kill the Xu family!

At this moment, Qi Wei looked at Li Zixiao, who was expressionless, and realized that Li Zixiao at this time was no longer the young man he knew at the beginning two years ago.

In front of him, Li Zixiao exuded the momentum of a superior person, and the more ruthless he became, showing a heroic posture.

"Yes, the subordinates know, and the subordinates will do it." Finally, Qi Wei said.

Qi Wei was just about to leave, but Li Zixiao stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Qi Wei, in this world now, the cheapest thing is mercy.

In troubled times, I must use the Xu family to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, in order to deter the Xiaoxiao in Ruzhou, otherwise this group of people has a lot of thoughts, and I really don't have time to play around with these people.

Troubled times are the most ruthless, although my methods are indeed too strong, but I have to say that in this case, blood and killing can deter people in the shortest time. ”

Li Zixiao also explained to Qi Wei the reason why he did this, he didn't want Qi Wei, the subordinate he valued very much, to drift away from him.

After listening to Li Zixiao's words, Qi Wei turned around and saluted: "The general doesn't need to explain to Qi Wei, since Qi Wei believes that the general can turn the tide in this troubled world and save the people of the world."

Then Qi Wei will be fully loyal to the general, even if he dies for the general, Qi Wei will never frown. ”

"Well, I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have used you.

In addition, you can tell the Zhou family that all the old and weak women and children of the Xu family will be spared, and the children under the age of ten will also be spared, and at the same time, you will continue to sit in Ruzhou City and be responsible for the defense of Ruzhou City.

Ruzhou City will be the foundation of Ruzhou for a period of time in the future, and we will not be lost, so I can rest assured that we will hand it over to you.

Subsequently, you informed the other big families in Ruzhou City to go to the state government for a meeting a day later, but if you don't do it, you will bear the consequences, and you will send someone to count the Xu family's property.

After a while, it will be sold to other big businessmen at a low price, but the Zhou family is not allowed to get too much Xu family industry, and I don't need to see a behemoth in Ruzhou again. ”

"Yes, the subordinates remember, the subordinates will treat the Xu family and thank the general, and the subordinates will handle these things well.

Since his subordinates were going to sit in Ruzhou City, his subordinates suggested that the command of the cavalry battalion be transferred to Luo for the time being. ”

"Yes, I agree to this."

"The subordinate has retired."

After speaking, Qi Wei left.

Looking at the departing Qi Wei, Li Zixiao had a wry smile on his face.

Li Zixiao believed in Qi Wei's words, Qi Wei would not betray Li Zixiao, but Li Zixiao could also see that Qi Wei's respect for him was completely the attitude of his subordinates towards his boss.

The friend-like relationship between the two sides in the past can never go back.
