"Alright then!"
"If he doesn't complete the mission today, he will end up like you two!”
Liu Boxuan pointed at the corpse of the Magistrate on the ground and said with a glare.
"This…?"
"Yes, sir!"
The two of them wanted to say something to see if they could extend the time by two days, but when they saw the old man's murderous gaze, they quickly swallowed their words!
Then, he cupped his fists and accepted the order helplessly.
"Good!"
"Bring your men and follow me to the noble families to collect taxes first, then go and divide the land!”
Liu Boxuan pushed the horse's head and was about to leave.
"Sir, please wait!"
However, just as he turned around, the county magistrate stopped him.
"Hmm?"
Liu Boxuan's eyes widened as he clenched the sword in his hand.
He no longer had any patience. As long as this county magistrate dared to be a little long-winded, he would not hesitate to give the order to kill him!
Great Qin lacked everything except officials!
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and bring the household register first!”
"The household register records how many households there are in Liyi County, which have land, which do not, and how much land there is.”
"Oh, right, there aren't many nobles in Liyi. There are only three aristocrats, and they all live in this city!”
"This lowly official will bring Milord over now!”
Seeing the old man's narrowed eyes and murderous look, the county magistrate quickly explained.
"Yes! Hurry up and bring the household register over!"
"If you dare to delay, kill without mercy!”
Hearing what he said, the murderous look on Liu Boxuan's face disappeared.
Since there were only three noble families in Liyi, it would be easy to collect the taxes in an hour at most.
Then, they could go down and divide the fields!
If they were fast, they might be able to finish it before dark!
"Yes, sir!"
"I'll be right back!"
The county magistrate did not dare to delay. He quickly ran to the back hall and ordered the yamen to carry a few bundles of bamboo slips.
Then, he loaded the carriage and headed straight out of the county office!
"Lord Liu, although there are only three aristocrats in Liyi, I'm afraid that one of them will find it difficult to collect taxes from him!”
"As for the other two, they are easy to deal with!”
On the way, the county magistrate said worriedly.
"How difficult is it?"
"Tell me," he said.
Liu Boxuan sneered and asked indifferently.
With the Crown Prince's orders and support, he wanted to see which one of them was not afraid of death and dared not to pay taxes.
"This noble surnamed Wang is a distant relative of Zhao Gao, the commander of Xianyang's Zhongche Prefecture!”
"His daughter is the concubine of the eighteenth prince, Huhai!”
"The county magistrate who was killed just now only married a maid from his residence and became the county magistrate!”
"This person's connections in Xianyang City are extraordinary!”
"When Daren comes to his residence later, you must be careful!”
The county magistrate cupped his hands and reminded him kindly.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's a distant relative of Lord Zhao Gao!”
"Sure! That's easy!"
Liu Boxuan smiled when he heard what he said.
It seemed that the news of Zhao Gao's death yesterday had not reached here yet.
Whether it was the government or the people, they still did not know what had happened in Xianyang recently.
However, this was normal!
Any major event that happened in Xianyang City would not reach here without four or five days.
Unless the government issued an official document!
"Then this humble official will thank Lord Liu on behalf of Old Master Wang!”
The county magistrate thought that he knew the situation and did not dare to touch the gentry surnamed Wang, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Why don't we go to the other two gentry's houses to collect taxes first?”
The county magistrate cupped his hands and asked with an apologetic smile.
"No!"
"Let's go to the house of this aristocrat surnamed Wang first!”
"Lead the way immediately!"
However, Liu Boxuan refused and did not take his advice.
"Alright, Lord Liu, please!"
The county magistrate didn't dare to be negligent and led a group of people straight to the Wang family.
In the end, he reined in the reins at the entrance of a deep courtyard.
"Quickly go and report that Lord Liu, the internal historian of Xianyang, has come to see you!”
At the door, the county magistrate cupped his hands at the guard and said very politely.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
However, what surprised him was that the Internal Historian, who was riding alongside him, drew his sword.
"Come on, charge in!”
"The entire Wang family will be executed!”
"No one is allowed to live!”
What shocked him even more was that this old man had actually issued the order to slaughter the manor with a murderous aura.
In an instant, the two hundred soldiers killed a few guards, kicked open the gate, and rushed in.
After charging into the courtyard, he would kill anyone he saw!
Under his and the county captain's stunned gazes, the entire Wang Clan was slaughtered!
"Put all of the Wang Clan's assets into the treasury, immediately count and seal the boxes, and transport them to Xianyang!”
After exterminating the entire Wang family, the internal historian did not dare to delay and quickly ordered people to start looting the house.
He originally only wanted to collect the taxes of the gentry, not to exterminate the entire Wang family.
However, when he found out that this Wang was Zhao Gaoyuan's relative, he immediately changed his mind!
This was Zhao Gao's remaining party. After killing them, not only would they be able to collect more taxes, but they might also be able to gain the Crown Prince's favor.
This was because the Crown Prince and Zhao Gao were irreconcilable enemies and had a deep hatred!
Otherwise, the Crown Prince would not have slaughtered Zhao Gao's entire family!
"Lord Liu, you…you've caused a huge disaster!”
The county magistrate, who came back to his senses, was so scared that his face turned pale.
Everyone knew that Zhao Gao was the First Emperor's close minister, so killing this Wang fellow was nothing.
However, he had slapped Zhao Gao in the face. If Zhao Gao took revenge, he would probably be killed as well.
"Don't worry, Zhao Gao's entire family was executed yesterday. All the officials related to Zhao Gao will be executed!”
"Also, quickly get your men to count the belongings!”
"If you can't complete the mission before nightfall, the Wang Clan will end up like you two!”
"Humph!"
Liu Boxuan once again lectured the two of them!
"Yes, sir!"
"I will definitely complete the mission!”
When the two heard that Zhao Gao had lost his power and was killed, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Immediately after, he heard that if they failed to complete the mission, they would kill their entire family. He immediately became nervous again.
They jumped off their warhorses and personally led their men into the backyard to start rummaging through the belongings in the manor.
It didn't take long for all the wealth in the residence to be confiscated!
In just half an hour, the goods were loaded onto the carriage and transported to Xianyang!
"Go to the next shop!"
After that, Liu Boxuan turned his horse around and led everyone out of the house.
Although he was old, he had never dismounted from his horse!
He had no choice!
The lives of his entire family were nothing compared to this suffering!
