In the Lin family in the south of the city, the patriarch Lin Mingchen ordered his clan members: "Hurry, prepare the car quickly and go to the Fang family in Xicheng!"

Originally, Fang Wenjing, the eldest son of the Fang family, wanted to visit Lin Mingchen, the head of the Lin family. Unexpectedly, before he could set off, Lin Mingchen, the head of the Lin family, found himself first.

Fang Wenjing hurriedly went out to greet him. The patriarchs of the two major clans who had been fighting for decades now became a pair of brothers and brothers. As soon as they met, they hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

"Brother Fang!"

"Brother Lin!"

After crying, the two began to greet each other. After the greetings, they finally started to get to the point. Fang Wenjing said in tears: "Brother Lin, we are in trouble."

Lin Mingchen wiped his tears and nodded: "Yes, it's a disaster. It seems that Lord Liu is going to attack you and me."

After all, Fang Wenjing was not as informed as the other party, so he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Brother Lin, what do you mean?"

Lin Mingchen sighed: "I don't know why. It is said that someone handed over an impeachment memorial to Emperor Wansui. Our Lin family, both of the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, were sentenced to imperial prisons. Then, I heard that Lin, the master of our Jiang County, was beaten to death by Liu Zicong."

Fang Wenjing was a little indignant: "When will Liu Zicong be so arrogant when is this dog-like thing he turned to be so arrogant? A small magistrate wants to touch our two big families, but he is afraid that he will be a little bit younger. I have organized the strong people in the clan. If I really want to kill the death, we may not be afraid of him."

Lin Mingchen was shocked: "Againing an opposition to the government is equivalent to treason."

Fang Wenjing sneered: "Brother Lin, you are too cautious, and today the bandits are everywhere. Even if our two families really rebel, what can the court do to me? At worst, we really surrender to the bandits and provoke the banner of taking action on behalf of heaven."

Lin Mingchen was even more shocked: "Brother Fang, you are crazy."

Fang Wenjing seemed confident: "I'm not crazy. Tell you, do you really think the court will force us to rebel? The court is more afraid of us rebelling than us. Don't worry, I have summoned the young and middle-aged people of the clan and decided to Liu Zicong to meet for a while. How can Liu Zicong do to us? This year's county government tax revenue, without you and me, he still wants to collect it."

Lin Mingchen agreed with this, and nodded: "That's right, he can't even collect taxes, even if it's grain, he can't get involved in the grain of our Fang Linliang family. Without taxes and grain, how does his county government operate? Brother Fang is right, and I will quickly call the tribe members to fight against Liu Zicong when he turns around."

The patriarchs of the two major families were fearless because they knew that most of the taxes in Jiang County were in the hands of their two major families. Without the support of these two major families, Liu Zicong would have to be finished sooner or later.

Lin Zicong could not collect taxes or food, could his county government run? At that time, he would still have to lick his face and beg him and the other two.

Thinking of this, Fang Wenjing and Lin Mingchen finally felt relieved. The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. Doesn’t Liu Zicong understand this truth?

In fact, Liu Zicong understood very well. Before, he was just a man with his tail between his legs. However, soon he realized that the more he wanted to let him go, the more he became more and more serious. In the end, he, the magistrate, became a puppet. The government affairs of the county government were controlled by the Fang family and the Lin family.

Just as Fang Wenjing and Lin Mingchen continued to sit in the Spring and Autumn Dream of opposing the magistrate, Liu Zicong suddenly ordered that the two clan leaders of Fang Wenjing and Lin Mingchen were rampant in the village of illegal fish and meat. This official arrested them today. To eliminate these two evils in Jiang County, in exchange for peace among the people of Jiang County.

Fang Wenjing and Lin Mingchen naturally refused. The government obviously wanted to force themselves to rebel. So, they organized their tribe members to fight back.

Unexpectedly, this time Liu Zicong directly sent the chief inspector Chen Anzhi, with more than 800 soldiers. He directly took the Fang family, searched the Fang family, and confiscated the property. The head of the Fang family and several elders were all put into prison. As for the Fang clan members, ordinary clan members pardoned him without guilt. Anyone who followed Fang Wenjing to commit crimes will be arrested and brought to justice.

Then the Lin family, all the property of Lin Mingchen and Fang Wenjing was confiscated and confiscated. All the lands that the two major families annexed were returned to the common people. These displaced people finally had their own land. Those who became tenants also regained their own land.

As for the Fang Lin family, their tribe members were obedient and did not blame the past for causing trouble. If anyone dared to cause trouble, they would be severely punished. In this way, Liu Zicong carried out reforms in Jiang County. He overthrew the Fang Lin family, and the rest were the other landlords and gentry in the county town.

Originally, these landlords and gentry were not afraid of the magistrate. The dozens of yamen runners in the magistrate's hands could not cause any storm in front of hundreds of tribe members.

But who knew that now Liu Zicong had soldiers and had thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand. With guns, he was tough. He said he would search the Fang family, and he would search the Lin family.

The food that the Fang family and the Lin family had accumulated were pulled into the official warehouse by trucks. The huge wealth obtained by the two major families were also confiscated.

With money and food, Liu Zicong, the magistrate, quickly became tough. Now he will do whatever he wants, and with food and money, there will be soldiers. With soldiers, he can start to pacify the enemy.

There are three bandits of bandits around Jiang County, one is the Decepticon entrenched in Changshe Ridge in the southwest, one is the one-eyed eagle in the north of the city, and the other is Zhenjiuzhou who likes to commit crimes.

Previously, in order to deal with these three bandit forces, Liu Zicong, as the county magistrate, had to seek help from the two major clan leaders Fang Wenjing and Lin Mingchen. But now, he finally no longer has to act according to the expressions of others.

Now Liu Zicong is good at having soldiers and soldiers, it is only a matter of time before he wiped out the bandits. He first wiped out the largest bandit entrenched in the southwest with a force that was thunderous. The bandit leader Demonic Tiger died in the chaos, and his head was hung at the gate of Jiang County to serve as a warning.

As for the one-eyed eagle, after his team was defeated by Liu Zicong, the person was captured alive. Then, the one-eyed eagle was found to be escorted to the capital, and what was waiting for him would be cut into pieces.

However, Zhen Jiuzhou, who lives in a place without a fixed place, has not yet found his nest. However, Liu Zicong sent a large number of spies to spy on the whereabouts of Zhen Jiuzhou. Zhen Jiuzhou was so scared that he hid and did not dare to show up. You know, these bandits had dared to show off their power outside the city in broad daylight.

The affairs of Jiang County are just a microcosm of the entire Shanxi. The decree issued by Zhu Cixuan made officials from all over the country start recruiting soldiers and then start to attack local landlords and gentry. The local governments used to govern local bandits, with significant results.
