Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 33 Meng Yi: Resisted His Majesty’s decree, “Kill!” The bully squire was executed!

"kill!"

The cavalry behind Meng Yi raised their spears and pointed them neatly at the steward.

When the people who were hiding around and watching the excitement saw this scene, they were timid and immediately peed their pants.

Other people also looked pale. They did not expect that these cavalrymen really came to trouble Squire Liu.

Although they were just ordinary people, they knew very well that these cavalrymen definitely had blood on their hands.

The people watching the excitement took a few steps back to avoid getting into trouble.

"Puff!"

The housekeeper felt the murderous aura on the cavalry's body, turned pale and took a few steps back without paying attention to his feet, and sat down on the ground.

The dozen or so servants beside the housekeeper, who looked fierce just now, now looked pale and frightened.

"General, wait a moment. I will tell my master now."

After speaking, the housekeeper stood up hurriedly and hurriedly entered the mansion.

The housekeeper knew very well that this time he encountered a tough problem.

These cavalrymen had definitely been on the battlefield, and the housekeeper felt a sense of fear in his heart.

The master was just occupying the people's fertile farmland in the county and bullying the people. He didn't understand how the master could get into trouble with these murderous cavalry.

Meng Yi looked at the housekeeper who returned to the house in embarrassment, with a trace of disdain on his face.

These scourges who usually bully the people are also in such a mess when they encounter him.

When the people around him saw this scene, they didn't dare to breathe.

They all stared at Liu Xiangshen's mansion. They wanted to see how Liu Xiangshen and the general would end up.

"General, please don't blame me for coming from afar and missing your welcome!"

A fat middle-aged man wearing gorgeous brocade clothes walked out of the mansion and looked at the general in front of him with a smile on his face.

Liu Feng is the owner of this mansion, and the people call him Liu Xiangshen.

After hearing the butler's description just now, Liu Feng knew that these cavalry were not simple.

Although he had a good background in the court, Liu Feng still did not want to conflict with these cavalry.

Meng Yi looked at the smiling Squire Liu with a hint of disgust in his heart.

This person had a smile on his face when facing him, but he must be very cruel when facing the people.

He knew what this squire was doing before he came, and he was also a bully squire.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the squires in Da Qin should make up for the taxes on the fertile land they own."

"You, Mr. Liu, are among them. The general is here today to ask for taxes."

"Now hurry up and prepare the money needed for taxation. This general will take it back to Xianyang City to deliver a report to His Majesty."

Meng Yi looked at Liu Feng, his face was calm and his voice was cold.

Liu Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard Meng Yi's words, and soon realized that the smile on his face disappeared and there was a gloomy look on his face.

He owns a lot of fertile land in Lanfeng County, plus fertile land snatched from some common people.

With so much fertile land, he paid the same taxes every year as ordinary people.

So much fertile land has brought Liu Feng a lot of wealth. Now let him make up for the taxes on these fertile lands.

At least half of the family property must be given away. Liu Feng felt a little angry when he thought of this.

"General, are you kidding me? How could your Majesty issue such an edict!"

Liu Feng forced out a smile and looked at the general in front of him.

"Humph!"

"General, I don't have time to joke with you. This is what Mr. Fusu suggested to His Majesty."

"His Majesty also agreed to Young Master Fusu's suggestion. By the way, Young Master Fusu also made a suggestion to His Majesty."

"Starting from today, every year the squires of Da Qin will pay as much tax as they own the fertile land!"

"The previous system of collecting taxes from squires has been abolished. Squire Liu understands now!"

Meng Yi looked at Liu Feng in front of him with a trace of ridicule on his face.

Liu Feng's face turned ugly when he heard Meng Yi's words. He did not expect that it was Fusu who made the suggestion to His Majesty.

Not only was he asked to give up half of his family wealth, but he also had to pay a large amount of taxes every year.

Liu Feng, who loves money as much as his life, naturally cannot accept this request. "The general may not know something, but the villain is a distant relative of Lord Chun Yuyue."

"Lord Chunyu Yue is still Master Fusu's teacher. Please take the general into account for Master Fusu's sake."

"Be merciful and collect less taxes!"

Liu Feng looked at the general in front of him and said Chun Yuyue's name.

"Humph!"

"This general only obeys His Majesty's will. Whose relative you are has nothing to do with me."

"If you, Mr. Liu, disobey His Majesty's orders, don't blame me for being rude."

Meng Yi looked at Liu Feng and said calmly.

Before he came, he already knew the relationship between Liu Feng and Chun Yuyue. The person Meng Yi hated the most was Chun Yuyue.

If Chun Yuyue hadn't helped Prince Su, he wouldn't have been scolded by His Majesty often before, and he knew about the relationship between Liu Feng and Chun Yuyue.

Meng Yi came to Lanfeng County specially to ask Liu Feng to pay taxes.

Liu Feng's face turned ugly when he heard Meng Yi's words. He had already mentioned Chunyu Yue as Fusu's teacher.

With this relationship, the general in front of her still refused to accommodate her.

Liu Feng became even more angry, "Humph!"

"I've tried my best to persuade you, but the general still won't give in."

"Don't blame me for not cooperating. I won't turn over any money."

Liu Feng looked at the general in front of him with anger on his face. With Chunyu Yue's status, he didn't believe that this general dared to use force against him.

"Be bold!"

"You, a country squire, dare to resist His Majesty's decree. Someone come and kill this rebellious person."

"Kill all the housekeepers behind this squire and those servants who have done evil!"

"Search the mansion and take the money back to Xianyang City."

Meng Yi had an angry look on his face as he looked at Liu Feng and the servants of the housekeeper behind him.

"As ordered!"

"Pfft!"

When the cavalry behind Meng Yi heard Meng Yi's words, he thrust out his spear and shot Liu Xiangshen in front of him.

The housekeeper and a dozen servants had a look of fear on their faces when they saw this scene. They didn't expect it.

The general was so decisive that he killed their master.

More than a dozen people rolled and crawled to escape, but the cavalry caught up with them and killed them all with one shot.

Meng Yi saw this scene with a trace of disdain on his face. This squire Liu had invaded the people's farmland.

The housekeepers and servants under him usually do evil and tyranny in the county on the strength of Mr. Liu.

He came today to eradicate these scourges, and Liu Feng's resistance gave him the opportunity to eradicate the scourges.

"You enter the mansion, take out all the money in the mansion, and imprison all the living people in the county jail."

"Find out whether those people have done bad things, kill those who deserve to be killed, punish those who deserve to be punished, and let go."

Meng Yi looked at the cavalry behind him and began to issue orders.

"As ordered!"

After hearing Meng Yi's words, the cavalry dismounted and entered the mansion.

Meng Yi saw this scene with a smile on his face. He was very happy to deal with these bully squires.

The people around were stunned when they saw this scene, and some timid people fainted.

They did not expect that the general was so decisive. Liu Xiangshen was executed after just a few words of resistance. His housekeeper and servants were also executed.

After a while, the people reacted, with excitement on their faces.

Liu Xiangshen relied on his background as a distant relative of Chunyu Yue to run rampant in Lanfeng County and bully the people.

Some people had resisted before and were beaten to death by Liu Xiangshen's housekeeper and servants.

From then on, no common people dared to resist and provoke Liu Xiangshen and his servants.

Now that they see these bullies dying in front of them, they, the common people, can't wait to go up and give them a stab.
