"Brother Xin, I heard that you recently obtained a few pieces of fertile land?”
"Hey! Not much, just about 10,000 mu!"
"That's all the land in Liu Jiawan. Did Brother Xin annex it all?”
"What do you mean by annexation? That's called fair trade!”
"The people of Liu Jiawan have all become the tenants of my Xin family, haha…!”
"Brother Xin, you're such a 'fair trades'. How can the people of Liu Jiawan just let this go?”
"I have to swallow it even if I can't swallow it. I've already arranged for the magistrate of the county government. It's useless to sue!”
"Even if I have to report it to Xianyang, I am not afraid. I am the uncle of Concubine Xu!”
"With my relationship, which official in Xianyang would dare to punish me?”
"Besides, it's not that I didn't pay for their land. I even gave each of them one tael of gold!”
"Brother Xin is too loyal. You even gave me money when you bought the land. If it were me, I wouldn't give you a single cent!”
"Oh right, I heard that you also got a few new pieces of good land. Is that true?”
"Compared to Brother Xin, those few plots of land are nothing. They're only a mere 5,000 mu!”
"Did you buy it or…? Hehe!"
"I'm not as rich as Brother Xin, who even spent money to buy land. I used some tricks and those farmers obediently handed over their farmland. Moreover, they were willing to farm for me for free!”
"It's really a good method!"
"Haha…!"
In the Xin Residence, the other two aristocrats of Liyi City were exchanging their experiences in making money.
When it came to pride, the two of them laughed loudly.
"Hurry up! Quickly follow!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside. Then, the door of the house was kicked open.
"Which idiot dares to kick my door open?”
"Do you want to die?"
Xin Wei was lying in the arms of a maid as he looked at the bailiffs who had barged in and reprimanded them arrogantly.
However, behind the bailiff was an old man in an official uniform.
Behind the old man were two hundred armored soldiers.
"Lord Liu, these two are the other two aristocrats of Liyi County!”
"To tell you the truth, there were originally six tyrants in Liyi, but the three of them took advantage of their connections and annexed the land of the other three tyrants!”
"Therefore, there are only three aristocrats left in Liyi!”
The county deputy ignored his warning and cupped his hands.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you trespass Xin Manor?"
"Do you know who Old Master Xin is?”
"He is a relative of Concubine Xu!”
"If you know what's good for you, get lost immediately. Don't disturb the two of us here!”
Another noble stood up and scolded impatiently.
He thought that as long as Concubine Xu was mentioned, these officials would immediately leave.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Who would have thought that not only did the old man in the lead not apologize and retreat, but he even pulled out his sword with a murderous look on his face.
"I don't think there's a need to levy this tax!”
"The remaining two families will be directly raided!”
"Kill him!"
Liu Boxuan, who originally wanted to intimidate them, immediately changed his mind when he saw how domineering the two of them were.
If he guessed correctly, no matter how much effort he spent, these two people would not honestly pay the tax!
After all, it would be strange if they would pay taxes obediently because of their relationship with Xianyang City!
However, this relationship was a joke to him!
He was following the Crown Prince's orders, except for the First Emperor.
He even dared to kill the father of the heavens!
Therefore, instead of wasting time, it was better to kill to save time!
After looting the remaining two households, he still had to go out of the city to distribute the land to the poor people. How could he waste time on them?
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers received the order and rushed forward like a swarm of bees.
Even the county magistrate and county lieutenant, together with the bailiffs and soldiers, rushed forward.
If they didn't distribute the land and pay the taxes before nightfall, their entire family would be beheaded!
Therefore, they worked harder than anyone else!
"How dare you…Pfft…!"
The two aristocrats did not expect these people to be so bold as to dare to attack them. He immediately panicked.
Just as they were about to shout, the crowd charged forward and beheaded them without any explanation.
Not too long later, the entire clan of the two tyrants was wiped out.
Their wealth was transported back to Xianyang, and the land under their names was distributed to the people who did not have land.
Finally, after dark, Liu Boxuan completed the collection and distribution of land in Liyi.
When he dragged his tired body back to Xianyang, it was already midnight.
……
"Quick, quick, next car!"
"The few of you, hurry up and register.”
"If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible!”
Carriages were parked in front of the treasury!
The carriage was filled with gold and valuable items.
Even though Fusujia had sent people and the internal historian had sent people to help, they were still too busy.
There were too many items transported back from the various counties. They were busy until midnight and there were still many that had not been weighed!
Helpless, he could only light a torch and continue to work.
The officials who had completed the collection mission in each county did not dare to go back to sleep and also went forward to help.
They had no choice. The Prime Minister and Imperial Censor were still helping, so how could they dare to go back to sleep?
Finally, when the morning court session was about to begin, they finished counting all the collected property and filled it up into the treasury.
After completing the mission, the officials finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The Crown Prince should be satisfied with the amount of taxes collected today!
They did not want to make any more mistakes and lose the lives of their entire family!
……
"This humble official greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
In the court of Xianyang Palace, all the civil and military officials yawned and came to the morning court listlessly.
However, when she saw Ying Ziye, she was no longer sleepy!
They cupped their hands and bowed respectfully!
This was the living King of Hell who killed without batting an eye. He had killed ten ministers yesterday.
Moreover, even his entire family was executed!
They were originally a little sleepy, but when they saw Ying Ziye appear, their sleepiness immediately disappeared and they immediately became energetic again.
In the face of the lives of their entire family, they did not dare to get tired!
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived…!"
Suddenly, the eunuch on duty shouted.
In the next moment, Ying Zheng walked in with a beaming face.
Seeing Ying Zheng suddenly appear in court, all the ministers felt as if they had seen their relatives, and felt a sense of warmth.
Some of them even wiped their tears in excitement!
"His Majesty has finally come to preside over the government. We are saved!”
The officials looked at each other with tears in their eyes!
Most of them were holding back their tears!
These two days had been too difficult for them!
In order to satisfy the crown prince, they did not even sleep last night!
It couldn't be helped. The Crown Prince killed people at the drop of a hat!
Killing people was one thing!
Every time, he even brought his entire family along!
It made them tremble in fear and could only work with their lives on the line, afraid that they would anger the living King of Hell and lose the lives of their entire family!
