Chapter 115

three days later.

Hanzhong County Governor's Mansion.

Hundreds of county magistrates, magistrates, landlords, rich merchants, wealthy households, and nobles from various counties in Hanzhong gathered together.

Regarding today's sudden invitation from the Sheriff of Hanzhong, many people present were also at a loss.

Especially when they arrived, they were even more puzzled when they saw that there were so many landlords and nobles who were invited to come like themselves.

Everyone waited for a cup of tea.

Chen Jinghui finally arrived after a long time.

"I'll see Governor Chen."

After all, Chen Jinghui was the highest official of the Hanzhong government, so even the most powerful old aristocrats in Hanzhong County were polite enough on the surface.

Chen Jinghui also politely returned a salute, then smiled and said: "Everyone came from a long way, it's because I have neglected you."

"Chen Junshou is being polite."

Everyone was polite, and then they saw an old man walking out more and more, and asked: "I wonder if Governor Chen invited us to gather together today, is there anything important to announce?"

"Don't worry, Mr. He. In fact, I didn't invite you today. Someone else invited you here today. I'm just passing on the message."

Chen Jinghui replied gently to the old man.

As soon as this word comes out.

It was only then that everyone realized that although Chen Jinghui was standing in the main seat, he did not sit down, but stood to one side, as if he was waiting for someone.

Realizing this, many people present were shocked.

After all, the Hanzhong County Governor's Mansion is Chen Jinghui's territory. In today's world, how many people can be here to make Chen Jinghui even give up his own position?

While many people were thinking about it, Chen Jinghui, who was next to the main seat, seemed to have seen something, suddenly bowed his head, bowed his head, and hugged his hands in a salute to the side.

"grown ups!"

Chen Jinghui's voice also attracted everyone's attention.

next second.

Everyone looked in the direction of Chen Jinghui's salute, and saw a tall and handsome young man wearing a simple plain robe, slowly walking out of the inner hall under the guard of three men and two women.

It turned out to be such a young man who saw Chen Jinghui salute, and the faces of most people below suddenly showed a bit of astonishment.

After all, in the current era of "having no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well".

Youth is often antonymous to 'status of power'.

Only the few people standing at the front of the crowd seemed to think of something the moment they saw Mo Jun, and their pupils shrank suddenly.

Mo Jun went straight to the main seat and sat down, then looked at Chen Jinghui and asked, "Mr. Chen, are everyone here?"

Chen Jinghui saluted and said: "My lord, seven of them are now doing business in other places, and they couldn't come in time."

Mo Jun nodded, and said: "Since you can't come, forget it! When the time comes, just give them a copy of the land deed!"

Chen Jinghui bowed and said, "I understand."

After the conversation with Chen Jinghui was over, a faint smile appeared on Mo Jun's face, and he spoke to everyone in front of him.

"I am very happy that you all agreed to my invitation today. Let me introduce myself, Mr. Mo, who was honored by the king and was named "Shengping Jun"."

Mo Jun's voice was very soft, but when it fell to the ears of the people below, it was no less than a thunderclap on the ground.

Who is Shengping Jun?

I'm afraid it's impossible for anyone in Hanzhong not to know now.

After all, even if you don't talk about Mo Jun's various deeds during this period, just a little bit is enough for everyone present to remember the name of 'Sheng Ping Jun'.

Because today's Hanzhong is the fiefdom of the "Shengping Jun" in front of him.

And it's still sealed.

"I'll wait to see Mr. Shengping."

When Mo Jun's words fell, the expressions of the group of people below changed drastically, and they all knelt down on the ground.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Mr. Shengping!"

Everyone lowered their heads and stood up respectfully.

These people don't have to be afraid of Chen Jinghui, after all, Chen Jinghui is just a sheriff with some background but not much.

But it is impossible for them not to be afraid of Mo Jun, even the five most powerful old nobles in Hanzhong County.

Because the higher you stand, the more you understand.

Many small landlords and nobles may only know that Mr. Mo is now the de facto monarch of Hanzhong County.

But they didn't know how Mo Jun got the real title of Lord.

However, the five old nobles at the top of Hanzhong County are very clear that this is not only because the Lord Shengping in front of him invented the so-called "new grain", 'Quyuanli', 'waterwheel'... · something like that.

It was his great reputation after he killed 27 old nobles of the Chu state in three days in Nanjun, and killed Lao Ai and Lu Buwei one after another, which supported the seemingly young Shengping Jun in front of him and secured his current position .

The "Five Great Old Nobles" in Hanzhong County are not as powerful as the "Four Great Clans" in Nanjun, because behind those old nobles in Nanjun is the State of Chu, which is still there today, and in Qin State, there is also the Empress Dowager Huayang as a backer .

However, among the 'Five Great Old Nobles' in Hanzhong, three of them are remnants of the [Ba Kingdom] and [Shu Kingdom] that were destroyed by the Qin State before, and most of the forces are only rooted in Hanzhong.

Although the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

But that also depends on what level of 'dragon' and what level of 'snake'.

obviously.

Mo Jun's head is definitely one of the few raptors next to the biggest black dragon in today's Qin country.

Mo Jun's sudden appearance in Hanzhong was undoubtedly a big unexpected event. Now almost everyone here has not figured out Mo Jun's temperament, nor the purpose of Mo Jun's trip.

Naturally, I was a little apprehensive.

But generally speaking, many people present were relatively calm. After all, in their opinion, since Mo Jun was able to spread the fetish of [the first generation of improved rice seeds] to the whole country.

Moreover, it is said that someone in Nanjun once built a living shrine for Mo Jun.

All in all.

It all shows that Mo Jun is definitely a 'good man' with immeasurable merit.

And good people are undoubtedly the best kind of people in this world to deal with.

until the next moment.

Mo Jun suddenly said: "Everyone has come from a long way, and the journey is exhausting, so I will not be polite to you today."

"Today, my lord invites you to come to the Sheriff's Mansion for only one purpose, and that is to make a simple transaction with you."

As he said that, Mo Jun waved his hand, and then he saw more than a dozen guards of the Sheriff's Mansion walking in with rolls of cloth that looked like a contract, and distributed a copy to everyone present.

At first, everyone was slightly puzzled by Mo Jun's words, but when they saw the content of the contract, everyone's expressions instantly became extremely ugly.

The content of the contract is simple.

Generally speaking, it is roughly a sentence: "Mo Jun will buy all the farmland of all the families present at the price of one mu of land."

The atmosphere in the Sheriff's Mansion suddenly became oppressive.

For a while.

Only then did He Yuan, the patriarch of the He clan, one of the 'Five Great Old Nobles', come out, and asked with a gloomy face, "Is Mr. Shengping joking with us?"

Mo Jun took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I never joke."

When He Yuan heard the words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "So, Mr. Shengping intends to buy and sell by force, and use his power to bully me and other ordinary people?"

Mo Jun put down his teacup, looked at He Yuan strangely, and said, "Yes! This gentleman is bullying you with power! Isn't this gentleman's behavior obvious enough?"

"you······"

He Yuan was so angry that he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart any longer, and said solemnly: "Too much deception, Mr. Sheng Ping, I thought you were a person with immeasurable merits that would benefit the world, but I didn't expect that Mr. Sheng Ping would actually He is such a treacherous villain who oppresses kindness and bullies others."

"It's the old man who missed his eyes. What happened today, the old man will definitely report to you before going to the throne in the future."

"The old man wants to see if there are still laws and axioms in this great Qin Dynasty."

These words, He Yuan's words were righteous and stern, full of arrogance.

If people don't know his true nature, they may really think that the patriarch of the He clan in front of him is some kind of righteous and awe-inspiring person from a famous family!

Mo Jun stretched out his little finger, plucked his ear, and said casually: "So, Patriarch He disagrees with this gentleman's deal?"

He Yuan snorted coldly, and said decisively: "It's absolutely impossible. The old man wants to see, if the old man doesn't sign this contract, Lord Changping can help me..."

Zheng!

He Yuan didn't finish his sentence.

Suddenly, a crisp sword sound resounded in the Sheriff's Mansion, followed by a flash of cold light, and the next second, He Yuan clutched his neck in pain, his eyes widened, and he gradually collapsed to the ground.

A large amount of blood flowed out from between the fingers of both hands, and soon dyed the whole area several feet in bright red.

before dying.

He Yuan also stared at Mo Jun with a pair of eyes full of disbelief.

It seemed that he never thought that Mo Jun would actually dare to kill him in public.

The sheriff's mansion was quiet.

Accompanied by He Yuan's death, the atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly became dead silent, and needles could be heard.

Not to mention the group of big and small landlords and nobles below, even Chen Jinghui, who was standing next to Mo Jun, opened his eyes in disbelief when he saw this scene.

"A lot of nonsense!"

Mo Jun glanced at He Yuan's body on the ground, and said a word.

Then he turned to Xiong Da and said, "Since the He clan is unwilling to make a deal with me, there is no need for the He clan to exist."

"My subordinate understands!"

Xiong Da calmly replied.

The patriarch of the He clan, one of the strongest "five old nobles" in Hanzhong, was killed here so easily, which already had a great impact on everyone present.

And after Mo Jun finished speaking, all the landlords and nobles who were invited this time felt an icy chill run through their bodies.
