Chapter 135: Conspiracy Hidden

The Liang family is relatively strong among these families. The current head of the family, Liang Hao, whose courtesy name is Bohui, is the county magistrate of Langdiao County. His father was once the county magistrate here. His family had thousands of acres of fertile land and was extremely powerful in the local area.

At this time, Liang Hao was kneeling on the main seat of the lobby, his complacent expression beyond words.

"Dear owners..."

As soon as Liang Hao spoke, everyone below quickly calmed down, which made Liang Hao feel very satisfied. He enjoyed this feeling of responding to the whole call.

"Everyone more or less must have heard of some things. Today, I asked you to visit the mansion and I guess you have guessed some of them."

Speaking of this, Liang Hao paused, glanced at everyone's reaction, and then continued: "I have enough evidence to prove that Liu He's son is the real murderer who killed his former Magistrate Yang!"

Although these families had long speculated about this, they were still a little surprised when they heard Liang Hao's words and couldn't help but whispering to each other.

Liang Hao waved his hand to suppress the voices of everyone, and his tone suddenly became a little angry: "Since Magistrate Yang took office, he has loved the people as much as his son, made great achievements, fought against the bandits and helped the victims, and worked tirelessly. He was actually murdered by Liu He. It is a very evil crime!"

Liang Hao said it with great righteousness, but everyone below knew that all the achievements were nonsense. This Yang, the surname is corrupt and abused the law, treating the people like grass, was not a good thing at all.

But everyone doesn't mind this. Anyway, they are just making excuses. The truth and lies are not important. In the final analysis, it is just for the benefit of two words, that's all.

Of course, even though I know it, I can't say that. Not only did everyone here not object, but they showed a look of agreement on their faces.

Liang Hao saw the reactions to everyone and felt very proud.

"I specially invited you to come today, just to discuss with everyone, overthrow this prince, avenge the magistrate Yang, and then report to the county magistrate, and select another wise man to serve as county magistrate."

This surprised everyone again.

Although everyone was not very satisfied with Liu He, and even had some resentment, since Liu He was appointed as the county magistrate, he did not infringe on the interests of various families. Everyone was surprised to have rashly proposed to deal with him.

The most important thing is that the Sanqianan Minjun has extraordinary strength and is definitely not something they can compete with. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time to fight so rudely? How could these heads of families take such a big risk?

"Head of Liang, this matter is too sudden. I think it is better to make a long-term plan."

"Yes, Brother Bo Hui, Liu He is certainly annoying, but he did not directly infringe on the interests of various major families. Now that the drought has passed, Langdiao County is becoming richer. From a certain perspective, it will not take long for the disciples of several major families in Jinyang City to find a way to squeeze this son away and take the position of magistrate of this county. Why should we do this more than possible?"

"Not bad, not to mention that Liu He and his brothers are all very brave, and An Minjun has an amazing military power. If we bump into it, wouldn't it be boring to make things happen?"

Seeing that everyone seemed to have objections made Liang Hao very upset.

"Hmph, this is really absurd."

"Langdiao County is not from his Liu family, but from our major families! In the past, whenever there was land reclamation, we must first choose it. If there were outsiders to settle down, we must first look at us, or pick it away as servants, or take it home as maids and concubines, or keep it as tenants to collect rent."

"But since Liu He took office, the tens of thousands of additional population and the large amount of wasteland that have been reclaimed have nothing to do with us. This guy actually distributed all this land to those farmers and refugees. It was simply a corrupt and lawless!"

This point hits the pain points of each family leader.

Before Liu He, more than 70% of the arable land in the entire Langji County was controlled by the families here. Each family raised a servant, accomplice, and a guard at least one or two hundred, and at most seven or eight hundred.

However, when Liu He came, he reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland, dug water wells, opened water canals, and turned many dry land into water irrigated fields. They could only watch but could not get any of the benefits. It would be absolutely impossible to say that everyone had no resentment.

The most important thing is that once a convention is formed, the most fundamental thing to attack these local tyrants is the matter.

All the masters, look at me, look at you, and seem to have been greatly shaken.

Liang Hao struck while the iron was hot: "Think about it, the land controlled by the people is increasing, but our wealth has not increased. In the long run, our family's status in this Langji County will become lower and lower. The people no longer have to come to ask us for a few acres of land. Instead, the tenants and servants under the outside will feel envious of the farmers who do not need to pay rent. At that time, our families will inevitably face the dilemma of separation of people's hearts. Isn't this the way to perish?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone present burst into a cold sweat!

The so-called "boiling frogs in warm water" was that Liu He did not touch the interests of these families at that time, because he really didn't have much energy, and secondly, he was actually holding this idea, so that everyone could not be too strong to resist. Anyway, he could continue to live his current life. Let's talk about the future. Only by slowly eroding this way can the power of various major families be disintegrated.

But now Liang Hao has made this clear. The heads of the family are not stupid. How can you still not understand it?

"The head of the Liang family woke up the dreamer with his words. This matter is indeed a major matter that concerns everyone's life and death!"

"It's not bad, it's time to discuss it."

"Since Brother Bohui calls us to come, he must have already made proper countermeasures, and I hope he will give me some advice!"

Liang Hao was secretly happy, and his complacent feeling was even more than at the beginning. This feeling of controlling the overall situation and the feeling of being asked for by others, really made him extremely intoxicated.

"Don't worry, how could Liang be the kind of person who is ungrateful and seeks death? Doesn't Hao know the power of An Minjun? Since Liang dares to raise this matter today, he is already fully prepared."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at him one after another.

"Brother Bo Hui already has a good idea, don't keep it a secret. Please teach me how to wait!" Everyone urged.

Liang Hao smiled slightly and said, "This matter is of great importance and should not have been leaked. However, our families have been closely related to each other for several generations, and we are all reliable people, so I might as well tell you so that in the future, I, Mr. Liang, did not give you the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune."

After he said this, everyone became even more curious. They didn't know what important secrets were involved in this matter. They all stretched their necks and felt a little eager to see them.
