Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Lingnan.

Song family.

In the meeting hall.

The head of the Song family looked a little melancholy as he listened to the words of the two oldest principals.

It would be great if things were as simple as the two principals said.

No matter whether His Majesty in the palace knows the secrets between the royal family and the four great clans.

But judging from the behavior of His Majesty in the palace during this period, it is not that easy to get His Majesty in the palace to withdraw his decree.

The actions of His Majesty in the palace during this period all demonstrated the domineering power of His Majesty in the palace.

The will of the whole world must be obeyed.

Anyone who dares not to comply will be eliminated.

The head of the Song family glanced at the two oldest principals and shook his head; "It would be great if things were as simple as you say."

"It's probably very difficult to get the person in the palace to take back his will."

"The so-called agreement requires considerable strength to maintain."

"Now, the imperial court is no longer what it used to be. There are no less than four half-step heavenly beings. Even if our four great clans join forces, they cannot compete with these four half-step heavenly beings in the imperial court."

"What's more, the soldiers and horses at the four border gates of the imperial court are already in the military pass. You don't need to say more, you should also know the imperial court's intention."

The head of the Song family said in a deep voice.

Lu Bu and Cao Zhengchun's achievements have long been spread, that is, they killed strong men of the same level who were both half-step celestial beings, and they were all easy to capture.

The four great clans all have ancestors who are half-steps of heaven. The head of the Song family does not think that their ancestors can be the opponent of such terrifying figures as Lu Bu or Cao Zhengchun, who can kill the same level effortlessly.

Moreover, the armies at the four border passes were already stationed inside the pass, which shows how determined the imperial court was to such a decree.

Is it possible to get the person in the palace to take back his will?

After hearing the words of the head of the Song family, all the heads of the Song family present were silent for a while.

They all knew that the head of the Song family was right.

The so-called agreement requires sufficient strength to maintain.

Only when there is not much difference in strength between them can the so-called agreement work.

Once the difference in strength is too big, the so-called agreement is a piece of waste paper and has no effect at all.

After all, since ancient times, big fists have always been the last word.

Undoubtedly, the strength of the four great clans and the imperial court are now far apart.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

"The Song family accepts the order."

At this moment, a voice sounded in the sky above Song Mansion.

The sharp sound spread throughout the Song Mansion, and even people around the Song Mansion could hear it.

Imperial decree?

When the head of the Song family and the heads of various branches of the Song family present heard this sharp voice, their expressions couldn't help but change.

None of them expected that the imperial court would suddenly come to the Song family due to an imperial edict.

"Walk."

"Follow the leader of the clan to meet the imperial edict."

The head of the Song family stood up and walked out of the meeting hall.

The leaders of other branches also followed closely behind.

It is clear.

They've all thought of it.

At this time, the imperial court has decreed to come to the Song family, which is obviously not a good thing.

When the head of the Song family walked out of the meeting hall with the heads of each branch of the Song family, he saw a eunuch wearing special clothes standing proudly above the Song family.

Waves of powerful aura emanated from the eunuch's body, overwhelming the entire Song Mansion.

The head of the Song family saw this, and his expression turned gloomy.

The Song family is one of the four great clans, but the eunuch delivering the order actually flew directly over the Song family and released a powerful aura.

He didn't take his Song family seriously at all.

The head of the Song family looked up at the eunuch standing over the Song family and said in a deep voice, "May I ask who the father-in-law is?"

"Since my father-in-law came to my Song family to deliver an edict, why didn't he go through the main entrance? Instead, he stood in the sky above our Song family and unleashed his aura to pressure our Song family."

"Doesn't this look like you are here to deliver an edict to my Song family?"

The head of the Song family stared straight at the eunuch in the sky with a calm expression.

But the tone was a bit aggressive.

"Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Zajiadong Factory."

Cao Zhengchun looked at the patriarch of the Song family; "Then the Za family would like to ask the patriarch of the Song family how to act like he is here to deliver an edict to the Song family?"

That's right.

The figure standing in the sky above the Song family is none other than Cao Zhengchun, who was ordered to cooperate with the patron king Zhou Zhan to go to the four major clans to collect the private soldiers of the wealthy families.

Zhou Chen asked the patron king Zhou Zhan and the others to start with the four major clans.

Therefore, the first target chosen by the patron king Zhou Zhan and others was the Lingnan Song family.

Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang?

When the head of the Song family and the heads of various branches of the Song family heard that the eunuch standing over the Song family was Cao Zhengchun, their expressions couldn't help but change.

Who is Cao Zhengchun?

This is the boss of Dongchang, who holds huge power.

Whether it was the downfall of the former general Wu family or the purge of official families, this Dongchang factory master was always there.

It can be said that Cao Zhengchun's deterrent power is much greater than that of Cao Shaoqin before.

Especially the strength of Cao Zhengchun, a half-step celestial being, who has a record of killing half-step celestial beings of the same level. Even the four great clans like the Song family are quite afraid of Cao Zhengchun.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Cao, but my clan leader was blind and didn't recognize him for a while."

"However, my Song family is not the East Factory. It is not good for Eunuch Cao to go on such a rampage."

"Next time, Eunuch Cao, it's better to go through the front door to avoid any misunderstanding."

The head of the Song family looked at Cao Zhengchun and said.

The Song family is afraid of Cao Zhengchun, but this does not mean that the Song family can allow Cao Zhengchun to bully the Song family so unscrupulously.

The Song family is one of the four great clans. Not just anyone can give power to the Song family.

Not even Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang.

"Haha, what misunderstanding did it cause?"

Cao Zhengchun smiled softly.

"What misunderstanding could it cause?"

"Could it be that the Song family has separated from me, Da Zhou, and is it no longer my Da Zhou's place?"

Cao Zhengchun glanced at the patriarch of the Song family indifferently.

Maybe others would be wary of a wealthy family like the Song family, but Cao Zhengchun didn't care.

Cao Zhengchun stood in the sky above the Song family to convey the order, which was intentional.

Purpose.

Naturally, it was to give the Song family a warning.

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, the head of the Song family's eyelids twitched; "Eunuch Cao is joking, my Song family has always been the Song family of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"I don't know what His Majesty's decree was sent to my Song family, and I asked Eunuch Cao to read it out."

The head of the Song family did not want to be entangled with Cao Zhengchun any longer.

The head of the Song family knew that continuing to entangle with Cao Zhengchun would only put the Song family in a disadvantageous situation.

Therefore, the head of the Song family changed the topic and asked directly what kind of decree Cao Zhengchun had brought.

"Your Majesty has a decree to abolish the tax-free privileges of wealthy families and take back the private soldiers of wealthy families. The wealthy families are not allowed to raise private soldiers or manufacture weapons and armor privately."

"Otherwise, he will be punished as treason and the nine tribes will be killed."

Cao Zhengchun's sharp voice rang in the ears of every Song family member.

Listening to the content of the decree, the faces of the Song family changed.

After reading out the imperial edict, Cao Zhengchun looked at the head of the Song family who was kneeling on the ground; "Chief Song, have you heard your majesty's order?"

"His Majesty said, let the Za family cooperate with the patron king to recruit private soldiers starting from the four major clans."

"Clan Chief Song should already know what to do next! There is no need for the Za family to say more!"

Cao Zhengchun looked at the head of the Song family with a gentle expression.

The patriarch of the Song family stood up; "I naturally dare not disobey His Majesty's will."

"However, the tax-free privileges of wealthy families and the rights of private soldiers are the rules set by Taizu when he founded the country, and they have continued to this day."

"I would like to ask Eunuch Cao, don't the rules set by Taizu count?"

The head of the Song family asked back and looked at Cao Zhengchun.

The emperor asked Cao Zhengchun and the patron king to start with the four great clans, but among the four great clans, Cao Zhengchun and the others were the first to target the Song family.

This made the patriarch of the Song family very angry.

Do you really think that the Song family is easy to bully?

Not only the patriarch of the Song family, but also the faces of other heads of the Song family were extremely ugly.

None of them expected that the imperial court would take action so quickly.

Moreover, the first target was their Song family.

It's true that my uncle can't stand it and my aunt can't stand it.

What do you think of the Lingnan Song family?

Have you become a soft persimmon?

Cao Zhengchun narrowed his eyes slightly when looking at the head of the Song family. "How do you say that the Song family wants to resist the imperial decree and disrespect it?"

Waves of cold aura began to gradually dissipate from Cao Zhengchun's body.

Both the patriarch of the Song family and other members of the Song family felt it.

However, the head of the Song family shook his head without changing his expression; "I, the Song family, would not dare to do such a thing as resisting an imperial edict and disrespecting it."

"It's just that I, the Song family, are wondering whether we should obey Taizu's will! Or should we obey His Majesty's will?"

"Eunuch Cao thinks so!"

The head of the Song family looked at Cao Zhengchun with a tit-for-tat look in his eyes.

"snort."

Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly.

The powerful aura on his body pressed against the patriarch of the Song family.

"Deng Deng Deng."

The head of the Song family snorted and took three steps back.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of the Song family head's mouth.

"Clan leader."

Upon seeing this, the leaders of each branch of the Song family quickly stepped forward to protect the head of the Song family, staring at Cao Zhengchun with an unkind expression.

"It seems that Patriarch Song has forgotten who is the emperor sitting on the dragon throne now?"

"Of course we must abide by the rules set by Taizu, but the rules set by Taizu did not allow aristocratic families to steal people's land and corrode the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty."

"Clan Chief Song, can you tell the Za family why the Song family has so much land? How much of it comes from normal sales and transactions, and how much of it is acquired through plunder?"

"How many lives have the Song family taken advantage of, and how many evil things have they committed?"

"The head of the Song family will not tell the Za family that the Song family is a scholarly family, and it will be wiped out!"

"Should the Zajia ask someone from Dongchang to tell Patriarch Song?"

Cao Zhengchun looked at the head of the Song family softly, his face gradually becoming slightly colder.

Cao Zhengchun knew that these aristocratic families would probably not submit obediently. Otherwise, Zhou Chen would not have sent Cao Zhengchun to cooperate with the patron king.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun had to threaten the Song family.

If the Song family is interested, they will obediently hand over their private soldiers according to the decree.

In this way, the Song family will be well, they can also do business, and everyone will be well.

If the Song family does not know what is good and what is good, then Cao Zhengchun does not recommend taking action against the Song family to establish their authority.

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, the head of the Song family's pale face changed uncertainly.

The head of the Song family could naturally understand what Cao Zhengchun meant.

That is, if the Song family does not obey orders.

Then the result of the Song family will be the same as that of the aristocratic families in Luoyang Sili, and Dongchang will use the same means to deal with the Song family.

As one of the four great clans of the Song family, there is naturally no shortage of scum in the clan that do evil things.

If Dongchang really used such methods to deal with the Song family, then the Song family would not be able to withstand Dongchang's investigation.

This is a common problem among almost all wealthy families.

Of course, even if the Song family does not have such dirty things and is completely clean, if they dare to resist the order, Dongchang still has plenty of means to deal with the Song family.

"What Eunuch Cao said is that our Song family will definitely act in accordance with his orders."

at this time.

Sudden.

A figure walked out from the depths of the Song family.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of everyone in the Song family.

"Ancestor."

Seeing this figure coming out, the head of the Song family and the heads of various branches of the Song family quickly called out respectfully.

This figure who came out from the depths of the Song family was the ancestor of the Song family, a strong man who was half a step above heaven.

Cao Zhengchun glanced at the ancestor of the Song family and said softly, "That's good. The Za family will give the Song family a day to prepare."

"Tomorrow, the Za family will come to the Song Mansion with their patron king. The Za family hopes that Patriarch Song and the Song patriarch will not disappoint the Za family."

After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, he glanced at the ancestor of the Song family and the head of the Song family, then turned and left the Song family.

Watching Cao Zhengchun's leaving figure, the head of the Song family and the heads of each branch of the Song family looked extremely ugly.

I thought that the Song family, one of the four dignified nobles, would allow a eunuch named Cao Zhengchun to come and go so arrogantly and domineeringly.

This is simply a great shame and humiliation for the Song family.

"Ancestor..."

The head of the Song family looked at what the ancestor of the Song family wanted to say, but was interrupted by the ancestor of the Song family who shook his head.

"No need to say more, I know what you want to say."

"But now, the situation is stronger than the people. If we, the Song family, do not follow the orders, then our Song family will become the target of the imperial court to kill chickens and scare monkeys and establish our authority."

"The governor of the East Factory, Cao Zhengchun, is truly well-deserved, and his strength should not be underestimated."

The ancestor of the Song family looked at Cao Zhengchun's leaving figure with uncertain eyes.

As the ancestor of the Song family, Cao Zhengchun had just unleashed his majestic power on the Song family. How could the ancestor of the Song family remain indifferent!

Although the ancestor of the Song family did not confront Cao Zhengchun head-on, secretly, the two men had already clashed in terms of momentum.

As a result, the ancestor of the Song family surrendered.

This is also the reason why the ancestor of the Song family came forward and directly accepted Cao Zhengchun's order.

It's not that the ancestor of the Song family didn't want to resist the decree, but that the ancestor of the Song family knew that he couldn't resist the decree.

Otherwise, the Song family will be destroyed.

After Cao Zhengchun's figure completely disappeared, the ancestor of the Song family withdrew his gaze and looked at everyone in the Song family; "You have heard what Cao Zhengchun just said!"

"Immediately deal with all the things under my Song family that were obtained by means of tricks or that were done in a shady way. Don't wait for the court to come and investigate."

"That would be of no benefit to our Song family."

"Especially for land matters, return what should be returned to the people, and hand over all those involved to the government."

"Understand?"

The ancestor of the Song family said.

When the head of the Song family and the heads of each branch of the Song family heard this, their eyes flickered inexplicably.

They are all senior members of the Song family. To be able to occupy high positions in the Song family, they are naturally not ordinary people. They immediately understood what the ancestor of the Song family meant.

"Don't worry, Ancestor, we know how to do it."

The head of the Song family and the heads of each branch of the Song family all nodded and said.

The ancestor of the Song family said no more, turned around and returned to the depths of the Song family.
