Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 271 Kill! Exterminate his entire clan!

With a soft thud, the spear pierced through his chest, and Hu Tianci's eyes widened in utter disbelief.

He seemed surprised that this person would actually dare to attack him at this moment.

He only said "you".

He couldn't say any of the remaining words.

The horses pulling the cart had reached their maximum speed.

It won't stop just because Hu Tianci was suddenly stabbed to death.

It is still rushing forward at an extremely high speed.

As a result, the spear pierced Hu Tianci's chest completely and continued to stab backward into the car.

The soldier who had stabbed Hu Tianci to death did not dodge at that moment.

Instead, they deliberately went to meet the galloping horses.

The warhorse's powerful impact sent him flying, breaking his bones and causing him to vomit blood on the spot.

After landing on the ground, it somehow managed to sit up halfway up.

The bottom of the oncoming, rolling carriage struck his head.

With a thud, he lay directly on the ground!
His eyes were wide open, his face was covered in blood, and the back of his head had slammed hard against the ground, causing his brains to splatter out.

It was clear that he wouldn't survive.

The out-of-control warhorse continued to gallop forward, pulling the carriage along.

The car quickly overturned.

Hu Tianci, who had been shot, had already been thrown far away.

The sudden turn of events left the people following behind completely stunned.

Someone quickly pulled the cart to slow the warhorses.

Some people ran frantically toward the scene of the accident.

Among them, the fastest runner was the one Hu Weiyong had arranged to protect Hu Tianci.

The sudden unexpected event left him completely dumbfounded.

My legs went weak!

When he ran quickly to Hu Tianci's side, he saw him lying on the ground. Due to the powerful impact of the warhorse and the force of the fall, the spear that had pierced his chest had torn open a large, bloody gash.

After seeing the sight of Hu Tianci's internal organs being ripped out, he immediately fainted.

The rest of the people from Jiangxi who arrived later were all stunned by the sight.

I was completely stunned by this absolutely unexpected scene.

Some people wanted to run away, while others were about to faint.

Someone ran forward, hugged Hu Tianci, and kept calling him "Brother Hu, Brother Hu".

In a hurry, they stuffed the internal organs that Hu Tianci had pulled out back inside.

He pressed his hand against the wound desperately to stop the blood from gushing out.

It seemed as if they wanted to bring Hu Tianci back to life through this.

Unfortunately, all of this was in vain.

People have become like this, how could they possibly come back to life?

Hu Tianci is beyond dead.

"Quick! Arrest the murderer! Arrest the murderer! Don't let him get away!"
Make him pay with his life!

No! Slaughter his entire family!

Someone shouted.

After that, some people went to see the murderer.

However, it turned out that the murderer was already dead.

Now, we're completely at a loss!

"Arrest all those people who are surveying the land! Don't let a single one escape! Arrest them all!"

Someone shouted with red eyes, their face contorted with madness.

Some people felt extremely regretful.

She regretted getting involved in this whole mess and hanging out with Hu Tianci.

Now things are really complicated; some things are hard to explain!

Getting involved in this is truly a death sentence.

If it were just Hu Tianci, then his death wouldn't matter.

But this incident clearly wasn't Hu Tianci's fault.

He is Hu Weiyong's son!
Moreover, he is Hu Weiyong's only son!
A man like him died, and I was with him when he died, and this happened.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Not only them, but at the same time, those who were surveying the fields were also stunned.

Unexpectedly, such a big commotion suddenly broke out.

Some people died violent deaths.

Many people have stopped surveying and measuring land.

I want to go over and help them...

……

"What?! This actually happened?!"

"Young Master Hu... is gone?!"

A sound, raised to an unknown octave, rang out.

Without even looking, just by listening to the voice, you could tell just how terrified the person speaking was.

"Quick! Quick! Take me there!"
Arrest all those involved! Leave no one alive!

"Quickly! Immediately notify Ding Yu to lead his troops there! This is outrageous!"

Tao Wuzhong said repeatedly, his expression extremely unpleasant, his face even turning pale.

Anyone familiar with the situation could tell at a glance how shocked and frightened their Provincial Governor Tao was at this moment.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even if such a thing happened to them, they would feel the same shock, anger, and fear.

After all, this is no ordinary matter!

The person who died was Prime Minister Hu's only son!
She was someone whom Prime Minister Hu doted on to the core!

Now, something happened here in Jiangxi, and he died a violent death!
Anyone with a brain can understand just how serious this matter is!

Jiangxi will inevitably be severely impacted in the coming period.

As the provincial governor, Tao, the provincial governor, had no way to escape this sudden turn of events.

Even if he had no idea when it happened, that still wouldn't work.

That wasn't even the worst part. What was even worse was that he was killed by the people who were surveying the land!
The land survey was a national policy established by the imperial court and was forcefully implemented without allowing anyone to question it.

The imperial court's attitude on this matter was extremely firm.

On the other side is the son of the current prime minister!
These two sides clashed, and the result was that the prime minister's son lost his life!

If things were easy to handle, it would be strange if Governor Tao didn't panic!
Now, Lord Tao is in for a headache; many things in Jiangxi will become difficult to handle!
Even worse, many people will lose their official positions and will not be able to keep them!

What followed was both the Prime Minister's anger and the court's reaction, which were extremely frightening.

This person who surveyed the fields is really arrogant and domineering!
This is outrageous! It's utterly disregard for human life!

They're making a mountain out of a molehill!
Dare to act like this.

They've always been arrogant and domineering, thinking they can do whatever they want in Jiangxi!
Now look what's happened! They've made such a big mess of things. Let's see how they clean this up!

Let's see if the land survey can be implemented in Jiangxi.

After this thought arose, I was suddenly taken aback.

A different idea popped into my head.

This...this is such a coincidence.

Was it really done by those people who cleared the sky?
There... there must be some hidden story behind this!
After the thought arose, he immediately shook his head to banish it from his mind, telling himself not to overthink it or let his mind wander.

It must have been done by those people who were surveying the land.

There is no other possibility!
People from Jiangxi are all law-abiding citizens.

The imperial court ordered a land survey, and they did it without hesitation. It's highly unlikely they would do something so excessive.

This is what happened because the people who came to Jiangxi to survey the land were arrogant, domineering, and lawless.

They have nothing to do with the matter in Jiangxi.

There is no other possibility.

Those people who were surveying the land killed Young Master Hu...

……

"What! Young Master Hu was killed by them? How outrageous!"

It’s really lawless!

How dare they do such a thing?
Do they even respect the law?
What exactly do these people want to do?
Are they really taking advantage of the fact that there's no one in Jiangxi?

Do they think they own the imperial court?

"Do they really think whatever they say goes? Can they control everything?!"

Upon hearing this news, Ding Yu, the commander of the Nanchang Garrison, immediately stood up.

I was incredibly shocked.

Then his face darkened and he flew into a rage.

"Pass on my order: muster the troops and assist the government in apprehending this audacious madman!"

Ding Yu's face turned ashen, and he was in a state of extreme rage.

They looked as if they were determined to defend the dignity of Jiangxi to the death.

……

This sudden event shocked many people in Jiangxi.

Then, a multitude of complex and indescribable emotions arose in my heart.

The atmosphere in Jiangxi, which was already tense due to the land survey, suddenly became even more tense.

It was filled with anxiety and unease.

I sensed that a storm was brewing.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that what's about to happen will be anything but easy to quell.

Jiangxi is about to face an event even more serious than the land survey!

Those who are surveying the land are really going too far.

This is utterly outrageous, a blatant disregard for human life, and a complete disregard for human life!

They even dared to kill the son of the current prime minister!

How many people were wrongfully killed during the land survey?

"Gentlemen, we cannot tolerate this! We absolutely cannot tolerate it!"

"Let's drive these people who are surveying the land out of Jiangxi, so they can stop running rampant here and harming the people!"

"Yes! Everyone, let's take action, stick together, and work together!"
Resist these atrocities and restore a bright and clear world to Jiangxi!
There is always a place in this world where reason prevails.

Let's unite and petition the emperor to seek justice for Jiangxi!

"Yes, let His Majesty see just how outrageous and despicable the people he sent to Jiangxi to survey the land are!"

"Fellow countrymen, we can't stay silent any longer. If we continue to remain silent, losing our fields will be a minor matter."

"If things go wrong, not only will we lose the fields, but we might lose all our land!"

Originally, many people in Jiangxi were in a state of panic because of the land survey.

I wonder how much anger had been building up inside.

There wasn't a suitable reason to do this before.

Even if someone does take action, it's mostly a solo effort, making it difficult to coordinate and create a significant commotion.

But this time it's different.

After news spread that Hu Tianci had been killed by those who were surveying the land, it became widely known.

In addition, some people with ulterior motives stirred things up behind the scenes.

Things suddenly changed.

Many people, like flies drawn to blood, openly opposed the land survey, leading to some conflicts and deaths...

……

Wu Yin's expression was equally unpleasant.

He had already made some mental preparations.

Knowing that a land survey would be conducted in Jiangxi, I knew there would be all sorts of problems.

But even now, after learning what these people had done, I still can't help but be shocked.

These people are incredibly audacious and ruthless!
They actually took matters into their own hands and killed Hu Weiyong's son!
There were hints received from His Majesty, as well as what I saw and heard after arriving in Jiangxi.

They clearly and explicitly told him one thing.

That is, many people in Jiangxi had particularly deep connections with Hu Weiyong.

Jiangxi is also the largest gathering place for Hu's faction.

But as a result, these people were so audacious as to kill Hu Weiyong's son.

This hindered the land survey in Jiangxi.

These people are really ruthless!

There was no need to ask; he knew it must be people from Jiangxi who didn't want the imperial court to conduct a land survey.

That's why, in a moment of madness, they did such a thing.

There are many suspicious points about this matter. For example, he never gave an order to close the road when surveying the fields.

And there's absolutely no need to close roads when surveying fields.

After all, when the land survey was conducted, the work was only done in the fields on both sides of the road, so what did it have to do with the road?

But now, the road is blocked.

As fate would have it, Hu Weiyong's son died.

"Governor, shall we proceed with the land survey?"

Someone couldn't help but look at Wu Yin and ask, their voices filled with tension and anxiety.

"A thorough survey is necessary. Why not conduct a thorough survey?"

"What I mean is, should we...should we pause for a while, let things calm down, and then start the land survey?"

Wu Yin shook his head: "No, continue, don't give an inch!"
Those people are trying to use such methods to force us to submit and yield.

I'm going to show them with my actions that it's impossible!

If we back down, we've lost!

Wu Yin's attitude remained firm.

"But... but now that things have turned out this way, if we don't postpone settling the accounts, it could easily cause trouble."

It's even possible... it's not impossible that there would be riots and unrest.

Wu Yin shook his head again, his expression cold.

"Let them run wild! Let's see just how chaotic it gets!"
Who dares to cause trouble!

"If they dare to resort to such underhanded tactics, killing even Hu Weiyong's son, would they dare to kill me too? Would they dare to rebel?!"

Wu Yin's voice was icy cold.

He also knew that His Majesty had long considered the situation regarding people like them.

Was the land survey really just about surveying the land?
In addition to surveying and measuring the land, we also need to thoroughly clean up the officialdom in Jiangxi.

Turn Hu Weiyong's Jiangxi into the Jiangxi of the Ming Dynasty!

Some inhuman people must be eliminated!
If they don't panic, it's difficult to take action.

Now that things have escalated, it will be perfectly justifiable to take action against them later...

……

"Husband, how about... how about we bring Tianci back?"
I'm really worried about Tianci being in Jiangxi.

In Yingtian City, Hu Weiyong's wife looked at Hu Weiyong and spoke.

Hu Weiyong shook his head: "It's alright, just let him stay there, nothing will happen..."
