Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 201, Your life will be better because I, Liu Hong, have been here!

Li Hongcheng's originally handsome face now looked disheveled.

When Yan Ruohai saw Li Hongcheng like this, he felt a sense of grief for the other party.

Even the royal nobles could only barely guarantee their own lives during this riot in Kyoto?
"Cheng Jushu, dispatch half of the East Palace guards to escort Prince Jing back home."

"Qin Heng, search the Yan family! Separate the households."

Liu Hong quickly arranged the fate of these rebels.

Countless opponents were escorted to the Caishikou on Niulan Street by soldiers who were bloodthirsty.

A quick look revealed that there were more than 10,000 people, and Liu Hong only executed the main culprit, and only separated the households of the accomplices.

"The Wang family, the Li family, the Zhou family, the Wu family... in Kyoto are suspected of participating in the assassination at the Hanging Temple. The principal offender will be executed, the accomplices will be separated, and their property and land will be confiscated!"

Although Er Gouzi hadn't slept all night and his eyes were red, he still roared out these words with full energy.

There are thirty-seven large families in Kyoto involved in the case, and seventy-six noble families with officials of the fifth rank or above.

The people from the aristocratic families who once shouted at Liu Hong to kill him were now kneeling in the vegetable market, trembling.

The sky was already getting light, and countless civilians who were awakened in the middle of the night walked out of their homes in panic.

However, he found that the nobles who usually showed off their power and bullied the common people now seemed like a dog, covered in mud and in a miserable state.

Some even cried loudly, and their official uniforms were stained with tears and smelly excrement.

"General Chariot and Cavalry, following the imperial decree, investigated the Hanging Temple case and wiped out hundreds of aristocratic families."

Zhou Ke, the owner of the noodle stall, had a good relationship with Liu Hong's personal guard, so he learned the news in advance and couldn't wait to announce the good news to his neighbors.

Countless people flocked in and arrived at the Niulan Street vegetable market.

Liu Hong sat on the tiger-skin chair, saying nothing and closing his eyes to rest.

Quietly waiting for the news of the people of Kyoto to flock in and massacre the noble families, which would spread throughout the world like a plague.

Perhaps the aristocratic families would regard Liu Hong as a scourge, but the scholars from poor families and the merchant class would support Liu Hong.

Because they learned something from Liu Hong.

It turns out that the power of ordinary people can also shake these nobles above.

"Have you finished the inventory?"

Shi Chanli was sweating profusely, and Versace's calculations were in turmoil.

"Sir, the land inventory is almost complete. There are 1.3 million acres of good farmland, 340 million taels of silver, and countless grains."

Shi Chanli's voice was loud and he didn't hide it much.

However, his soldiers and the people of Kyoto cried out in surprise.

You have to know that this is still a rough statistic!
More than one million mu of fertile farmland, what a concept! Among the eight routes of Qingguo, the smallest one, Kyoto Road, has only more than six million mu of farmland suitable for production.

"Deserves to be killed!"

The prince, who arrived late, could not help but curse out loud when he heard this shocking number.

These are just some of the aristocratic families in Kyoto.

The top families headed by the Fan family and the Liu family did not move.

The result was such a terrifying number that it was hard to imagine how much land had been secretly annexed by the aristocratic families of the entire Qing Kingdom.

The reason why Qing Kingdom could still maintain absolute suppression over Northern Qi was simply because Northern Qi was worse.

Emperor Qing's personal prestige was only used to strengthen the production technology that Ye Qingmei brought that was ahead of its time.

"Kill them all! The people of Kyoto will claim the occupied land and property based on the files of the Supervisory Council and the East Factory."

Liu Hong opened his eyes and spoke softly.

Er Gouzi smiled grimly and clenched his hands.

Hundreds of swordsmen raised their swords and swung them, and heads fell to the ground one after another.

"Liu Hong, even if we become ghosts, we will not let you go! Do you think you will have a good ending if you cut yourself off from the world?"

Countless curses were heard.

But to Liu Hong's ears, it was just a gentle breeze on his face, without any disturbance.

With the help of the army, tens of thousands of people were killed in just two hours.

The people of Kyoto, who had been suppressed for so long, finally released the repression they had endured for so many years.

The rolling pins and shovels hit the bodies of these people while they cried and shouted.

In the haze, the awe that had been there for a long time was mostly dissipated.

Then he knelt on the ground with tears of gratitude, because Liu Hong and his family had finally been vindicated after a long period of grievances. He also finally got back his own land and house.

Zhang Liang, along with a group of Liu Hong's followers and scholars, constantly counted and checked the number of people and returned the corresponding property.

From today on, no matter how much the aristocratic families desire to annex land and seize other people's property, they can only do it in secret and maintain an affectionate attitude on the surface.

No matter what the outcome is, at least civilians will not be killed at will.

Because they were here!

"Prince, you still didn't take action against the Second Prince's eight generals, nor did you take action against the Second Prince's officials?"

Liu Hong didn't stay in the vegetable market for long.

He ordered his men to build a memorial statue of these men's heads in Kyoto to intimidate those big families whose greed was too ugly.

The prince smiled awkwardly.

He finally gave in.

After all, the second prince’s followers are not only in the court, but also in the local areas.

Li Chengqian was afraid that if he eliminated too many of the Second Prince's followers at once, he would face a fatal counterattack from the Second Prince.

It may even disappoint my aunt.

Liu Hong shook his head in disappointment.

"Where is your ruthlessness? If you want to be an emperor, do you think you can rest easy just by being ruthless to your subordinates and the common people?"

The prince didn't dare to speak, he lowered his head and remained silent.

The murderous aura on Liu Hong was too strong.

It was almost overwhelming, pressing down on Li Chengqian so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Liu Hong knew very well what Li Chengqian was thinking, and just shook his head.

"You'll see what's coming next! The remaining noble families will only respect and fear me. Who dares to look down on my background?"

Li Chengqian raised his head, somewhat confused.

Didn't Liu Hong cut himself off from the world? He killed so many people, which aristocratic family wouldn't hate him?

Why would they send someone to compromise?

After a while, countless gifts were placed on the Shangshu's mansion, including gifts from the Fan family, the Liu family, and Prince Jing's mansion.

The surviving noble families were worried and cautiously sent their housekeepers to test Liu Hong's attitude.

The bourgeoisie has its own compromise and weakness.

In fact, it is similar for aristocratic families. In their eyes, personal safety is a minor matter, while the continuation of the family is the most important thing.

Liu Hong burned the family tree of this group of people, forcibly divided the households, and scattered them all over the world.

In the eyes of the family patriarch and elders, this is no different from killing nine generations of the clan.

Liu Hongwen received the group of people warmly and calmed their frightened young hearts.

He also solemnly assured that the assassination at the Hanging Temple had been investigated and there would be no more bloodshed.

This made these aristocratic families feel relieved.

The prince looked at all this and fell into deep thought.

Liu Hong didn't care about him because Zhang Liang came.

"Sir, now that everything has been completed, please promote the meritorious officials and reward them with land, money and grain."

Zhang Liang didn't care too much when he saw the prince here.

Li Chengqian glanced at Zhang Liang and asked for a reward after the purge, which was justified.

Only Liu Hong frowned.

He understood Zhang Liang's subtext, which was to eliminate the aristocratic families and then cultivate aristocratic families loyal to him.

This is the iron rule of every rebellious dynasty.

After all, not everyone has lofty beliefs and can only be bound by interests.

The city defense army and the garrison division were willing to follow Liu Hong in massacring the aristocratic families of Kyoto.

Isn't it just to reward people for their contributions at this moment? To win big with a small investment?

Liu Hong was silent for a long time and nodded.

"Okay! You can come up with a charter first."
