Chapter 948: Cleanup

Daji Dynasty, Beijun, Yangmin Prefecture, Chenliu County.

It is just an insignificant county. Since ancient times, no famous figures have appeared in history. It is ordinary and rarely seen in books.

However, this time, the civil uprising in Chenliu County is destined to throw a huge bomb on the turbulent court and public of the Daji Dynasty.

Rebellion, this is something that has not happened in the Daji Dynasty for dozens or hundreds of years. Now, Your Majesty is determined to reform, and the means of reform are fierce and high, wanting to accomplish what countless predecessors could not do in one fell swoop.

Is it a person who likes to show off? Not entirely, it is also because the upper realm has entered the great trend of realm promotion. The world will is promoting the emergence of a unified supreme power and gathering the most power to deal with the subsequent disasters.

Whether it is the Western Dao Dynasty or the Taoist inheritance in other regions, they are all moving in this direction. The internal forces of the Taoist sect are also seeking external expansion. In addition, the population forces that were dormant in the past have stepped onto the stage to seize their own status and power.

However, just like there are always some waves that do not go with the general trend in the sea tide, even if their overall strength is weaker, they can still gain the upper hand in special occasions and special backgrounds.

The civil uprising in Chenliu County will certainly become a focus of debate in the court.

Even if someone wants to cover it up, Wu Yi will force it at the risk of his life, and stir up party disputes in the court and delay the development of the Daji Dynasty.

This is Wu Yi's highest policy after entering Yangmin Mansion and understanding the current situation. Wu Yi is too weak. Under the huge human dynasty, he is not even as good as an ant.

Even if Wu Yi takes the initiative to provoke, the other party can destroy him with a sneeze. Therefore, Wu Yi's approach is to divide them. After all, the only one who can defeat the behemoth is another behemoth.

Hundreds of people, armed with swords and guns, wearing strong armor, took on the responsibility of police after the chaos in Chenliu County and were responsible for maintaining the public security of Chenliu County.

Wu Yi led the team personally, and as Chen Yan, he ruled the country as a scholar, but he used thunderbolt methods. All those who burned, killed and looted were arrested, and those who resisted arrest were killed on the spot. After the blood was stained on the blade, the public security in the city was boosted, and various crimes were reduced. By dawn, there were no more thugs.

Then, Wu Yi restored the original Baojia system, ordered the guards to go out to maintain public security, and there were people patrolling outside, and the city was basically stable.

Then he built a staff system, which was generally people from the old county government. Although Wu Yi didn't like many of them, they had experience after all. They were indispensable for calculating population losses and food reserves and arranging to restore order.

As for the big families in the city, because the gates were strong and deep, it was not easy to break through, and there were many servants and farmers, and half of them were still resisting. At this moment, as Wu Yi rectified the public security, they were "safe".

Yes, "safe", the rioters retreated, and they no longer had to worry about their lives.

But after clearing up the chaos, at dawn, Wu Yi came to their door in person and knocked on their door.

Do you want to ask, what is Wu Yi doing? What else can he do? He wants food!

Food is the foundation of chaos control. The granary of the county government has long been an empty shell. It was moved and borrowed by the county magistrate. There is not much at all. Most of the food bought from other counties was burned in the chaos. In addition, many houses of the people in the city were burned, and the accumulated food was not saved.

Without food, all stability is temporary. If the food stored in the city is not collected from the big households, it is not known whether it can last for even three days.

By then, there will be a lot of grief and separation, which will be a tragedy. Wu Yi can ignore the previous chaos, but he can't refuse this matter anyway.

Therefore, even if he has to force the door of the big household, Wu Yi will get the food.

The first target Wu Yi chose was the local Yang family, the largest family in the local area, which has been around for hundreds of years. The county magistrates change, but the Yang family never falls.

Whenever a county magistrate takes office in Chenliu County, the first banquet must be attended by a member of the Yang family, and they are seated in the front, just a head lower than the county magistrate.

A few decades ago, there were still people from the Yang family serving as officials in the court. In recent years, they have fallen into decline and become landlords. They do not have the reputation they once had, but there is no doubt that they are still the largest family in Chenliu County.

Taking him first is also killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

After knocking on the door and waiting outside for half an hour, the Yang family opened the door. They had reasons to despise Wu Yi. To put it nicely, Wu Yi eliminated the rebellion, and to put it bluntly, Wu Yi was a rebel.

A large group of people followed behind him, and no matter how you look at it, they all came with bad intentions. Being able to open the door and let Wu Yi in already shows that the Yang family is more confident.

When entering the door, there are several rows of archers in front, and swordsmen and axemen are staring at him on both sides. If there is a disagreement, they will really chop him up.

Wu Yi took the lead and did not talk about borrowing grain, but first talked about the county magistrate's deception and oppression of the people.

No one from the Yang family showed up, only a housekeeper talked to Wu Yi, and did not take Wu Yi seriously at all. In their minds, the county magistrate had already asked people to go to the city for help. Once the reinforcements arrived, no matter what cats and dogs, they would be killed.

The reason why the county magistrate deceived his superiors and concealed his subordinates, on the one hand, he asked the court for disaster relief, and on the other hand, he exploited the people, was to make up for the deficit. Who did the deficit go to? It was the big families in the city headed by the Yang family.

Wu Yi had already asked Shen Congyue to collect the evidence, and he did not even give them the opportunity to destroy it.

They are talking at cross purposes, their interests are fundamentally different, and they can't get along. What Wu Yi said before was more like a verdict of guilt. The housekeeper blurted out that it was the county magistrate's crime, which had nothing to do with them.

The reinforcements were furious, and Wu Yi had no intention of arguing with them. He jumped up and killed the housekeeper of Yang Mansion with his sword, and blood splattered three feet.

This body has been cleansed and marrowed, and it is no longer a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken. With Wu Yi's experience in fighting, it is like an old master who has experienced hundreds of battles.

Seeing Wu Yi suddenly rise, those archers were about to shoot Wu Yi. Wu Yi took a few big steps, and his long sword left a dazzling light in the air. The next moment, the eyes of those archers were all blinded by Wu Yi, and they had no fighting power.

Behind him, Shen Congyue's followers and Yang Mansion's swordsmen were already fighting together.

Wu Yi was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and quickly ended the battle. He didn't look like a sixteen-year-old boy at all. However, Shen Congyue's followers were more surprised that night, so they became numb.

Wu Yi led these two or three hundred people and killed most of the people in Yang Mansion.

It was impossible to show mercy. Some people could be spared, but some people could not be soft-hearted. They would ruin Wu Yi's whole game, so he could not give them a chance to speak.

The Yang family was the main culprit, just like the county magistrate! The county magistrate was killed, so what else was left for Yang Mansion?
