"Do you think that your Young Master can still come back?”
"You…Who are you?"
The steward of Gongsun Manor asked.
"Open your dog eyes wide and take a good look. I am the new prefect of Liaodong Prefecture, Qin Mu! Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, you two rebelled against your superiors and attempted to harm me. I have already killed you on the spot. As for you two, you are called servants, but in fact, you are accomplices. According to the law, you should all be killed.”
"Kill them!"
Qin Mu didn't continue talking nonsense with him and waved his hand.
The Tiger Troop on the left and right began to slaughter. After all, from the moment they entered the Gongsun family, the latter had seen the arrival of the army.
Not only did he not have any fear,
On the contrary, they gathered the family soldiers to resist. Just from this point, one could see that they were extremely bold. They actually dared to go against the army. They simply deserved to die. Even against the Tiger Troop, it was still the same.
Who knows how arrogant and despotic he was usually?
So,
A dog slave like this deserved to die.
As the Tiger Troop slaughtered, the entire Gongsun Manor was filled with wails.
Unfortunately,
No one paid attention to their pleas for mercy. Under Qin Mu's orders, everyone was executed. Other than the old, weak, sick, and disabled in the clan, the rest who dared to raise their weapons to fight against the Tiger Troop were all killed on the spot.
After the slaughter,
Qin Mu sized up the fresh blood and corpses on the ground, and his gaze was still cold.
These people…
He had brought disaster to Liaodong Prefecture for many years and deserved to die.
"Men, take the rest of the people and lock them up.”
"As for all the property in Gongsun Mansion, all of them will be confiscated.”
"Yes, sir!"
The Tiger Troop soldiers nodded and began to move.
On this day…
It was destined to be a day of blood.
……
When Qin Mu pacified Gongsun Manor, Yuwen Cheng had also brought his troops to Li Manor.
"Under the orders of the prefect, the Li Residence is to be sealed up!”
"All members of the Li family, servants, maids, etc., are to be imprisoned. If anyone dares to resist, kill them without mercy.”
Yuwen Cheng raised his sword and said,
As they stood in the courtyard, the Tiger Troop on the left and right stepped forward one after another. When the servants and maidservants in the Li Residence saw this, their expressions changed drastically.
After all, they were different from the Gongsun Family, so they naturally didn't dare to resist the army.
Besides,
The two servants who had stopped Yuwen Cheng were a bloody example.
If they dared to stop him at this time,
Then, there was basically only death.
Therefore, all of them obediently knelt on the ground and surrendered. Of course, there were still a few who were not convinced. For example, the eldest son of the Li family. The latter took advantage of his status as the son of a powerful family and shouted,
"Where did you get your army from? How dare you behave atrociously in my Li family? My father has a very deep friendship with General Gongsun. Aren't you afraid that I'll report you?”
This Eldest Young Master had always been used to being domineering by relying on his father's name.
In the past,
The officials in Liaodong Prefecture would naturally give him some face. After all, everyone knew that the Li family was a close friend of the Gongsun family. When Gongsun Du first came to Liaodong Prefecture in distress, it was the Li family who helped him.
Therefore, they naturally did not dare to provoke him.
But unfortunately, he was facing Yuwen Cheng today. The latter had been unruly all his life, and had never been afraid of anything. From his point of view, other than Qin Mu, there was really no one else in this world who was worthy of his respect.
He didn't even give him a chance to talk nonsense.
He swung his long saber horizontally.
He slashed at his neck, and blood instantly flowed out. His neck tilted and he fell straight to the ground.
"Humph! You're courting death."
He snorted coldly.
Originally, Yuwen Cheng saw that the Li family was quite sensible, so he did not intend to kill them. However, who would have thought that this Eldest Young Master would insist on having nothing to do and actually jump out. Since that was the case, he could only kill him.
As for the Li family servants and maids kneeling on the ground,
After witnessing this scene with his own eyes,
He didn't dare to say anything else. After all, this general killed people easily. He wasn't someone to be trifled with. If he continued to provoke him, he might really be hacked to death. One had to be smart.
As the Eldest Young Master was killed,
The remaining members of the Li Family didn't dare to resist.
After tying them all up, Yuwen Cheng ordered his men to gather all the things of the Li family. Then, he left with them.
After all, Qin Mu had personally instructed them to take back the treasures.
This was all the wealth they had plundered over the years.
Instead of wasting it on them, it was better for Qin Mu to use the reformed armaments.
After taking over the Li Residence,
Yuwen Cheng went to the next family. Their task was very heavy. They had to evaluate all the powerful families in Liaodong County. This was not a small matter!
Moreover, there were always a few families who did not know what was good for them and insisted on standing up to resist.
As for their ending…
That was also quite tragic!
Under the suppression of the Tiger Troop's iron hooves, all the voices of opposition quickly disappeared. The powerful families in Liaodong Prefecture also gradually disappeared from the eyes of the people.
He had to say,
This time, Qin Mu's spending was truly too big.
Ever since they had entered Liaodong County and killed Gongsun Du on the streets, it had caused an uproar. Now, they had even directly attacked the aristocratic families and wiped them out overnight. Such a big move was shocking.
More importantly,
The entire journey was quite fast.
From sending troops to pacifying,
In just a few hours, all the clans that were originally entrenched in Liaodong County had disappeared without a trace. When the officials in Liaodong County heard this news, they felt a little lucky.
Fortunately,
That day, they didn't stand up for Gongsun Du.
Otherwise,
They would not be able to escape this fate either.
At this moment, everyone in Liaodong Prefecture finally understood that this new prefect was no longer just a showy figure. He was a real general and had pacified the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes. How could he be so easy to deal with?
……
Liaodong County, in the prefect's office.
Qin Mu sat on the throne and listened to the reports from below.
"Reporting to my lord, this time our army suppressed a total of twelve powerful families and obtained eighty million silver.”
"Tsk tsk!"
Even Qin Mu couldn't help but smack his tongue.
The great families of Liaodong County were really good at fishing. Even after Qin Mu assessed the Wuhuan and Xianbei, the number he got was probably only two times more than this, right?
One had to know that these people were just local families. How could he amass so much money?
The answer was self-evident.
However, this money was just right to be used to supplement the funds of the weapons workshop.
As the saying goes, if a craftsman wants to do his work well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Qin Mu was well aware of the importance of weapons, especially for an elite army. After they obtained the best armaments, their combat strength would be unimaginable!
