Start Summoning Gentleman Sword

When Zhao Heng heard this, he lightly shook his clothes and sat on the stone bench.

He glanced up at Wu Faren beside him and asked.

"You mean, you know the whereabouts of this batch of grain?"

As soon as Zhao Heng finished speaking, Wu Faren's drooping eyelids flashed brightly.

"Your Highness, this matter is also an estimate, and there is no evidence."

Zhao Heng waved his hand casually and said in a deep voice.

"Speak directly, let me listen to your... estimate."

After hearing this, Wu Faren also knew that Zhao Heng was getting impatient.

With a solemn face, he spoke directly.

"Your Highness, the grain in Xiheyang County is confiscated every year after autumn, and the time for each opening is also fixed.

Those warehouse officials were the busiest during that time, and they didn't have much money.

But in the past two or three years, throughout the autumn, the warehouse officials were very idle every day and had no business.

He eats and drinks very well for every meal every day, and the food he eats is the most exquisite on the market.

At that time, the amount of grain recorded in the register was increasing year by year.

Suspicious in my heart, I found an opportunity.

Drink with them and make friends.

At first they were strict with their mouths, but after this back and forth, they couldn't hold back their enthusiasm, and then they revealed their hearts to me.

They said that the matter of opening warehouses and transporting grain had already been handed over to the three local aristocratic families.

The three aristocratic families also promised that only someone from above would check every time.

It will definitely be full of grain, one grain is not a lot! "

Zhao Heng frowned slightly when he heard this.

Wu Faren saw Zhao Heng's appearance.

Taking a deep breath, he continued involuntarily.

"My minister learned about it from those warehouse officials.

They said it was processing, but these officials also found it troublesome to go back and forth.

Later, the key was re-engraved and given to the three great families.

Every time someone from the county guard's mansion came down to open the warehouse for inspection, the warehouse officials would inform the three aristocratic families in advance.

This time, they suddenly burned the granary, I think it should be..."

When Wu Faren said this, he stopped immediately.

"Suddenly the granary was burned down, and I was the only one left.

They are afraid that their affairs will be exposed and they will not be able to enjoy the imperial food, right? "

Zhao Heng took the rebuttal and said with a normal expression.

Hearing that Zhao Heng said it directly, Wu Faren broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head, and became even more respectful.

"You mentioned the three great families just now, so tell me about their situation."

Zhao Heng said softly with calm eyes.

Wu Faren organized his language, breathed a sigh of relief, and said.

"Speaking of the three great families..."

Wu Faren then told Zhao Heng everything he saw and could think of in the past five years.

It is not known how much private goods are mixed in here.

There are three great families in Xiheyang County, namely the Sun family, the Liu family, and the Lu family.

Since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, it has taken root in the land of Xiheyang County.

Three aristocratic families, learned from Wu Faren's words.

On weekdays, it is also openly and secretly fighting.

In Xiheyang County, there is no scruple, but once other forces from the outside world intervene in Xiheyang County, they will definitely join forces and unanimously speak out.

Among the three families.

The Sun family is involved in the family business such as darts, and many forces in the Jianghu are involved.

The Liu family is known as the most well-connected in Xiheyang County, and has very close contacts with officials from many counties.

It is said that there are also friends above the court.

More than ten years ago, it won the monopoly of silk and other industries in several surrounding counties in one fell swoop, and the family dominated.

The last Lu family took advantage of the border.

Smuggling the special products of the Jin Dynasty to Wusun, Xiliang and other places made a lot of money.

Zhao Heng can get a glimpse of the three great families.

Together, there are three benefits, and when divided, there will be no bones left.

In competition, there is symbiosis.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng's first dealings with the local family would be in this way.

After understanding the situation with Wu Faren, Zhao Heng asked him to step down.

Think carefully.

The current matter is complicated and complicated.

But if it is simple, it is quite simple.

At this time, Zhao Heng himself had just arrived, and he really surprised the three great families in Xiheyang County.

But since the first meeting gave him a big gift, Zhao Heng also felt that he should return the gift, didn't he?

For the sake of caution, we should first find out the bottom line of the three great aristocratic families.

Zhao Heng waved his hand, and the forbidden army not far away came to Zhao Heng.

"Order, let the heads of the three great families come to the county prince's mansion today, and say that the king personally invites you."

Just as Zhao Heng finished speaking, he thought of something and added something.

"Let the officials of the county prince's mansion come together at night."

After Zhao Heng finished speaking, the forbidden soldier bowed to Zhao Heng and retreated.

Zhao Heng fixed his eyes on the departing imperial army, and a stern light flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Heng knew that if he invited them in his own capacity, they would not fail to come.

If they don't come tonight, there are plenty of shoes for them to wear.

The days to come are still long.

The three great families in Xiheyang County are all deeply rooted old families.

Zhao Heng's principle is to subdue what can be subdued.

If they cannot be subdued, they will definitely not be allowed to continue to develop.

Zhao Heng also didn't allow these people to occupy the latrine and not shit.

Banquet tonight.

First, you can find out their bottom line, and second, you can ask about food on the sidelines.

After all, the food is not available now, and the border war is tight right now, and if it is not available, Zhang Qian has come to ask for food in the past few days.

Just now, Zhao Heng really thought about it.

Let Meng Tian lead the first team of the imperial army, the first team of Weizhuang, and the first team of Houhou, and directly take over the three major families.

But in this way, the benefits brought are less.

At that time, the family property of the three major families will have to be liquidated, buy food, and then replenish food.

Isn't this funny?

It cannot be so.

Because the food is prepared by the Jin Dynasty, it does not belong to itself.

But the property of the three great families belonged to Zhao Heng himself!

Use your own property to confiscate, is it a fool to do it?

The three great aristocratic families have something to do with food, and this is only Wu Faren's estimate! !

Zhao Heng didn't believe the estimates.

If the estimation is wrong and the grain flies without wings, isn't this a waste of money?

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng felt certain.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in my mind.

Zhao Heng glanced around and gave instructions to the guards on the side.

"Don't disturb me without my king's order."

Seeing the respectful look on the faces of the imperial guards, Zhao Heng returned to the room without looking back.

Close the door.

His mind was immersed in the system space.

Find the system message that just popped up.

"Whether the task is completed: safely arrived in Xiheyang County."

Seeing this, Zhao Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Click on the option to complete the task.

The system beep sounded again.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task of safely reaching Xiheyang County."

"The host has completed the task!"

"Congratulations to the host for getting a random summoned martial arts world character: Wansanqian."

"The reward has been issued, please continue to work hard!"

Before Zhao Heng could think, a series of system prompts sounded again.

"Whether to accept the task: retrieve the lost combat food."

"Task Reward: Randomly summon a character from the world of martial arts. (There is a chance to trigger the reward to get a great master.)"

"Whether to accept the task: to pacify the three great families in Xiheyang County.

"Task Reward: Randomly summon a character from the world of martial arts. (There is a chance to trigger the reward to get a great master.)"

"Whether to accept the mission: Take full control of Xiheyang County."

Task Reward: Randomly summon a character from the martial arts world. (There is a chance to trigger the reward to get the Grand Master.)”

"The above three quest rewards can be combined into one quest reward, and the combined reward will greatly increase the chance of summoning the great master."

Seeing the system prompts being triggered one after another, Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, and felt ecstatic in his heart.

"Great master?!"
