Chapter 463 Where are you staying tonight?
Zhao Shuo curled his lips: "Just try to fool me."
Lin Feng snorted coldly: "You know it's a trick, but you still ask."
"But I didn't expect that big brother's reputation would spread to the West Six Prefectures."
Wen Jian continued, "The general's reputation is probably known to the world."
Lin Feng frowned: "Hmm, it seems like someone is trying to drug me."
Wen Cheng only then smiled and said, "General Lin is indeed wise. I have also felt the same way."
"What is their purpose?"
"Praise for killing?"
Zhao Shuo shook his head: "I really praise you, but if I say I want to kill you, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Lin Feng warned: "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. These people are trying to build momentum for me. They must have ulterior motives."
Zhao Shuo quickly raised his hand and pointed at the guards.
"Brothers, cheer up and don't embarrass our Qingshui Army."
Cheng Liang straightened up and said, "Whoever dares to come here will be killed."
As the group was talking, they arrived at the government office in the city.
Before he even dismounted, someone came up quickly and bowed.
"How expensive is the money? I'm honored to meet Lord Zhongyuan."
Lin Feng looked at the money in front of the horse and saw how expensive it was.
He has a round body and a fat face full of smiles, like a Maitreya Buddha.
Wen Cheng smiled bitterly: "General, one of the three great families, the head of the Qian family."
Lin Feng kicked off the saddle, dismounted, handed the reins to Cheng Liang, and took two steps forward.
"Mr. Qian, let's talk in the government office."
He knew that this was the second wave of attack since he entered the city.
They all entered the yamen together and found seats in the lobby of the yamen.
Qian Duogui stood in the middle and waited for Lin Feng to take a seat before he took a few steps forward and bowed again.
"General Lin, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today is truly a hero. I admire you deeply."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Just tell me what you want to say, no need to be polite to me."
Qian Duogui quickly said, "It's so refreshing. I like people who are refreshing."
As he spoke, he took out a red card with gold stamping from his pocket and handed it forward with both hands.
"Several of us, the heads of the families, all admire General Lin's demeanor. Due to physical limitations, we have been asked to come here. We invite General Lin to visit us and discuss institutional reforms. I wonder if General Lin..."
Lin Feng glanced at the invitation handed to him and did not move.
Zhao Shuo was standing by, he reached out to take the invitation, unfolded it and took a look at it.
"My policy in Zhenxi is unified. No one can stay out of it. The prefect should have made this clear to you."
Lin Feng took the teacup handed to him by Wen Jian and took a sip.
"Haha, yes, yes, Magistrate Wen has told me this more than once, but he's old and doesn't quite understand some things. Mr. Wang from the Wang family and the Ji family both want to hear General Lin's explanation."
Lin Feng smiled slightly: "I repeat, if you want to live in Zhenxi, you must obey all the policies of Zhenxi. Don't even think about resisting, unless you have an army more powerful than the Qingshui Army."
"I know, I know. General Lin's Qingshui Army is invincible. How could there be a more powerful army? I just want to understand the policies of Zhenxi so that I can better abide by them. Haha, General Lin misunderstood me."
"That's great. Let's leave it at that. I have something else to do, so I won't see you off."
"Yes, yes, thank you, General Lin, for taking the time to listen to my rambling. Goodbye, goodbye."
Qian Duogui bowed and backed away until he reached the lobby door, then he turned around and walked out.
Only Wen Cheng, Qin Fang, Chu Shijie, Li Hu, Zhao Shuo, Cheng Liang and Wen Jian who were standing at the door were left in the lobby.
Lin Feng looked at Li Hu and asked, "How is it? Are you still adapting?"
Li Hu quickly stood up and said, "General, it would be more satisfying if I could go to the battlefield and kill the enemy."
"We must take a long-term view. War is not something that lasts forever. What matters long-term is how to govern a city or even a country."
Lin Feng glanced at everyone.
"You all have the potential to become high-ranking officials who manage a region independently in the future. The sooner you get involved, the sooner you'll benefit. Governing a region well is far more difficult than winning a battle on the battlefield."
Everyone had a solemn look on their faces, with a hint of excitement in their eyes.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Okay, we've been traveling for several days and we're all tired. Go and have a rest."
Wen Cheng has already arranged their accommodation.
Lin Feng specifically left Qin Fang and Wen Cheng behind, wanting to learn more about the situation of the three major families in the capital city.
Qin Fang was quite familiar with these families, so he described them.
Lin Feng frowned and thought for a moment.
"Our land certificates are new, and the old ones can be invalidated. Just ignore them."
Wen Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "General, the land certificate and house deed are both new, but no one dares to take them."
"Look at their houses. Not to mention how big their houses are in the city, and they have more than one. The three families have more than twenty houses in total. They are well located, large, and cover a wide area..."
"Oh, and there are shops, hundreds of them, some even entire streets, all owned by them."
"It's because the money is so expensive. There are four manors outside the city, and each one covers hundreds of hectares."
Wen Cheng said all this in one breath, then stopped to catch his breath and drink some water.
"Is there no one who dares to ask for it?"
Lin Feng asked doubtfully.
"Yes, there were some brave outsiders who moved into the house and started to cultivate the land, but they ended up being beaten out and injured. They were unable to leave their bed for more than half a month."
Wen Cheng said helplessly.
"You don't care?"
Lin Feng was surprised.
Qin Fang interrupted, "Those who beat people have been arrested and are still in jail."
"and then?"
"There's no other way. They're not afraid of being imprisoned. They still have manpower. Anyone who dares to live in their houses or cultivate their land will be beaten."
Wen Cheng looked helpless.
Lin Feng rubbed his chin and sneered.
"Hehe, this is interesting. Those who dare to confront the government office don't get into trouble. Do you think my Qingshui Army is a pushover?"
After hearing this, Wen Cheng turned to look at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang lowered his head in shame and dared not say a word.
"Okay, I know everything, go ahead."
Lin Feng waved his hand and let them go.
Then he called Cheng Liang and Wen Jian over and whispered a few instructions to them.
The two nodded and turned to go out to carry out the order.
Lin Feng was the only one left in the room. He supported his chin with his hand and stared blankly at the candlelight not far away.
If I use force to take down the three companies.
It does have a huge impact, involves too many people, and makes too many enemies.
Just as Lin Feng was pondering a countermeasure, he suddenly felt something strange and turned to look at the carved window on one side of the lobby.
A small face appeared on it, smiling at him.
Then, a dark shadow silently climbed in through the window.
Lin Feng sat there without moving, just shaking his head in praise.
"Xiao Ju is really amazing. She didn't even alert my guards."
Xiaoju's face was flushed by the candlelight, and she was rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands.
"General, my lady asked where you are staying tonight?"
