Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Zhao Zongyang returned to the Hou Mansion, some people were already panicking here.  Without the Marquis, there is no backbone. At this time of external and internal troubles, it is especially easy to cause trouble.  Fortunately, with Cheng Luoyan barely holding on, and Zhao Xun, the most die-hard follower, everyone's mood was temporarily relieved.

    Even so, many people still couldn't completely feel at ease. The atmosphere in the Hou Mansion was a bit scary, and an atmosphere of insecurity quickly spread. Even Zhao Xun, a die-hard man, said it was okay, but in fact he was feeling inexplicable in his heart.  drumming.  .

    It wasn¡¯t until the moment Zhao Zongyang appeared that the entire atmosphere completely changed.

    "Master Hou, you are back. If you don't show up again, I don't know what will happen to the Hou Mansion." As soon as Zhao Xun saw Zhao Zongyang's figure, he immediately felt extremely relaxed, and his whole body was full of strength and confidence.  .

    "Damn it, wasn't it just a trip out for a walk? Is that an exaggeration?" Zhao Zongyang realized at this moment that his influence on these people under his command had actually reached such a great extent.

    In fact, it is easy to understand. This world worships the strong, especially those under Zhao Zongyang. They basically came from the old, weak, sick and disabled. It was Zhao Zongyang who changed their destiny.  When they followed Zhao Zongyang to eat and drink, witnessed with their own eyes that Zhao Zongyang was invincible all the way, saw gods killing gods, and Buddha blocked the undefeated path of killing Buddha, the image of Zhao Zongyang in their hearts was no different than a spiritual totem.

    What's more, unlike other dignitaries who treat their subordinates like dogs, the Marquis treats everyone as human beings and never puts on any airs.  Such a master.  Where to find it?

    Zhao Zongyang can understand everyone's respect for him, but he feels that this is not a good phenomenon.  Just like what I thought before, influencing a country by one person is definitely not a long-term solution.  When people are in power, politics remains; when people are gone, politics will cease.  It is a sorrow that has lasted for thousands of years, and we must find a way to change it.

    ??In the final analysis, the reason why these people are "superstitious" about Lord Hou, and even put their entire lives on him, is actually because they are not confident enough and their own strength is not good enough.

    As a leader, it is your duty to improve the overall strength.  Instead of trying to centralize power and control, I hope that my subordinates will have less fighting ability, the better.  Zhao Zongyang is not afraid at all that some super big shot will appear under his command. If he really has this ability, the Marquis will not be a little bit stingy.

    "Master Marquis, Yanbei City is getting more and more chaotic now. We don't dare to go out casually. Everywhere is controlled by the three major families." Zhao Xun said: "Today is the last deadline for collecting annual tribute.  The three major families have issued an ultimatum. They will be collected collectively in the square in the center of the city. If anyone cannot pay, they will be executed on the spot."

    ? Collecting money centrally in the square is simply over the top.  The three major families want to establish their authority and publicize who the real master of Yanbei is.

    This is a slap in Mr. Hou¡¯s face!

    "Greetings to everyone. Copy this guy and follow me to see the excitement."

    Zhao Zongyang gave the order.  It made everyone in the Hou Mansion feel like they had been injected with chicken blood.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Now I have to follow the Marquis to get back double the amount!

    "The Marquis is the Marquis. Just saying a word can change everyone's mood." Zhao Xun sighed with sincerity: "It's like I have said so much, and no one listens to a word of mine. Even General Cheng  In this regard, he is far inferior to the Marquis."

    This is a natural leader!

    With hundreds of people, they walked out of the Hou Mansion in a mighty manner. The soldiers on the street all looked at them sideways: What happened? They came out in full force?

    I don¡¯t know why, these people all look like defeated soldiers, but they exude a strong aura, which can only be seen in the most elite soldiers.

    The soldiers who were originally full of a sense of superiority now felt ashamed of themselves. It seemed that they were inferior to these old, weak and sick people out of thin air, and no one dared to yell as usual.

    The news spread quickly. People from the three major families already knew about it before Zhao Zongyang arrived at the square.

    "Mr. Ming, is this guy planning to fight to the death?" Bai Sheng and Yuan Tan behaved well at this time, with humble expressions on their faces.

    In the center of the square, a platform was set up, guarded by countless soldiers. Sitting on the platform were three old men with white beards and hair.  Anyone who has stayed in Yanbei County for a long enough time will have very deep memories of these three old men. Even now, they have been idle for many years, but everyone understands that the ones who can really control the overall situation of Yanbei behind the scenes are  It has to be these three people.

    Sitting in the center is the old head of the Ming family, Ming Kong.  Wearing a Taoist robe and a long beard, he has a vaguely air of immortality.  But the look in his eyes was not like that of a Taoist, but full of desire.The fierce murderous aura makes people feel frightened just by looking at it.

    "The fish is dead and the net is broken? He alone has no qualifications. He is just asking for death." Mingkong sneered, which always made people feel the smell of a poisonous snake and shuddered.

    Mingzhe's death gave him a huge blow and put the arrogant Ming family into crisis.  If he doesn't take revenge, he will fight to the death!

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, with three elders in charge, how can Zhao Zongyang be so arrogant?¡± Yuan Tan agreed with a smile.

    "Actually, there is no need for San Lao to take action for that kind of rubbish. We have many soldiers and generals, but the old, weak and remnant soldiers under his command were wiped out in the blink of an eye." Bai Sheng asked for instructions: "Should we deal with him first today?  Will we collect tribute again tomorrow?"

    "We are collecting tributes while dealing with him at the same time. The two have no impact." Mingkong waved his sleeves: "It's almost time. You can do whatever you need to do."

    "Listen to the people below. Today is the deadline for paying the annual tribute. I hope everyone can consciously contribute to the country. Otherwise, we will have to come to collect it without mercy. If anything happens at that time,  , then no one is to blame." Yuan Tan cleared his throat and said to the people in the audience.

    The square was crowded with people. Except for those who had paid annual tribute, almost all the people in the city were gathered here and crowded together.  Around the square, there were soldiers in bright armor, holding weapons, surrounding the people.

    ¡°I beg you to give me a few days¡¯ grace, I really can¡¯t raise so much money!¡± The common people cried.

    "As long as someone can scrape together a few dollars, no one will dare to go against the government even if they lose everything.  Those who have not been able to pay the annual tribute until now are naturally impoverished and are already the poorest group of people in Yanbei.  Of course, this group of people accounted for 90% of the total population of Yanbei City.

    "No money? If you don't have money, you can stop contributing to the country?" Yuan Tan said angrily: "We have been ordered by Marquis Shun, and Marquis Shun wants to marry the Princess of Zhou. What can we do without money? Even if we don't eat, we can't  Drink, and let Hou Shun go to Zhou Dynasty in great glory!"

    Good guy, one sentence has two meanings: one is that Shunhou will not give everyone a way to survive; the other is that Shunhou is going to betray the country.

    This guy is a typical type who is not good at doing serious things and is extremely proficient in doing evil things.  Unfortunately, this type of person is a typical example of the current Kaiyuan aristocracy.

    There were miserable cries in the audience, and the eyes of the ragged grassroots were filled with despair: I thought that Marquis Shun was a good man and that everyone had a bright future, but who knew, they were all in the same boat.  The crows in the world are all black, so how can they have white hair?

    ??????????? Coupled with the fact that a few people were mixed in the crowd, they took advantage of the situation to complain and cursed Zhao Zongyang a few words, which immediately caused all kinds of negative emotions to spread rapidly.

    The three old guys all nodded slightly to Yuan Tan and expressed their approval.  This guy has a good mind and can be made.

    "Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Bai Sheng probably felt that Yuan Tan stole the show in front of the three elders and looked like a superfluous person, so he quickly jumped out and shouted loudly: "According to the order of Lord Shun, no one will be allowed to do anything today."  Anyone who pays will have his or her house ransacked!"

    Search your home!  That would really mean living on the streets and becoming homeless!  Although today's dilapidated houses are not much different from sleeping in the open, they can at least block the wind and rain and give people some spiritual warmth and strength.  If even this shabby home is gone, how can we continue to live?

    The crowd was completely in panic.

    "Who is so powerful that you can confiscate your home just when you say it? Which law of Kaiyuan gives you such great power?"

    At this moment of chaos and despair, a loud voice came over.

    Hou Shun is here!

    Among the desperate crowd, the eyes of many people instantly became a little lively, but when they thought of all the rumors about Shun Hou, they dimmed again.

    "This must be the famous Marquis Shun. I've been here in Yanbei for so long and I still haven't had the opportunity to meet him. I'm really ashamed." Mingkong looked at this young man who had risen to fame carefully, and spoke in a very arrogant tone, scolding Zhao Zongyang.  I don't understand respect and inferiority, and I won't bow to the local snake when I get to Yanbei.

    "Is this the old man from the Ming family?" When Zhao Zongyang looked at this old man with white beard and hair, he immediately felt a very powerful aura, especially his eyes, which were full of hatred, making people dare not look directly at him.

    But you want to scare Mr. Hou?  Dreaming.

    "The words "Old Man of the Ming Family" make people from the three major families fume.  This was not enough, Zhao Zongyang continued to say: "What do you have to be ashamed of? You have been shameless for a long time."

    "Huh, I've long heard that this kid is up to no good, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant." MingkongHe glared at Zhao Zongyang fiercely and said, "No more nonsense. Lord Marquis is here today, but do you have any advice?"

    "I am not here to teach you, but to learn." Zhao Zongyang asked coldly: "Which law is it that allows you to plunder the people's wealth and anointing here and give it to Da Zhou? Are you a filial son of Da Zhou or Da Zhou?"  Zhou¡¯s great grandson?¡±

    As soon as these words came out, the crowd below couldn't help but shout: "Looking at this, the Marquis does not agree with collecting annual tribute at all."

    "These bastards lied to us and said it was the Marquis's intention. They are really bastards.

    "But what can the Marquis do on his own? Can he fight against the three major families for us?"  Not practical.
