    The afternoon sun is quite hot.

    " However, Shi Chong's house specially prepared ice cubes to eliminate the heat.  These ice cubes are collected during the cold winter and then stored in a special ice cellar until they are used in the hot summer.

    This is extremely expensive.

    Because the storage of ice cubes is not easy.

    Shi Chong liked luxury, so he specially prepared an ice cellar to store ice cubes for use in the hot summer.  Today, Shi Chong is creating a human being in the backyard room.

    In the hot summer, this kind of exercise is actually very hot. After some exercise, your whole body will be sticky.  Because there are ice cubes in the room to dispel the heat, and the layout of the room is good, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is very comfortable.

    Shi Chong felt refreshed after some exercise.  Let the concubine take care of you, put on your clothes and go to the study.  He went to the study and sat down, taking a sip of the wine he had just fished out from the deep well. His heart suddenly felt cold and he felt extremely comfortable.

    Shi Chong opened the book slowly, so that he could read in leisure time.

    Wang Qi¡¯s army pressed on the territory, but Shi Chong was not afraid.  After all, there were 30,000 elite soldiers of Chen State led by Han Song. He believed that this battle would be a sure victory.

    This battle is certain to be won!

    "Boom! Boom!"

    Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

    "Come in!"

    Shi Chong gave an order.

    Following Shi Chong¡¯s instructions, the door was pushed open with a creak, and Shi Chong¡¯s staff entered.

    Shi Chong¡¯s aide was named Liu Xi.

    "Compared with Shi Chong's thin, pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, Liu Xi is extremely fat and looks extremely strong.  Even when he walked, the fat on his body trembled like waves.

    After Liu Xi stood still, he bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency, Grand Administrator."

    Shi Chong said: "Sit down."

    After Liu Xi sat down, he solemnly said: "Sir, the current situation is not good for us!"

    Shi Chong said: "What's wrong?"

    Liu Xi looked solemn and replied: "Since yesterday afternoon, news has begun to spread all over the city. There are roughly three pieces of news. The first one is that Zhao Shao, the newly appointed pastor of Xuzhou, announced that under the rule of Qi State, all the people in our Xuzhou territory  The people do not need to pay any agricultural taxes within three years.¡±

    "Second, all the people in Xuzhou will be allocated land by the government, so that the people can have their own land for farming without worrying about having no place to gain a foothold."

    "Third, no grain tax will be paid on the grain harvested this autumn. Even merchants have many trade unions, and this clause is not included in the three-year tax."

    Liu Xi said: "These three pieces of news have been flying all over the city, causing countless people to talk. There are even rumors about Wang Qi's side, saying that they welcome the King of Qi to welcome the King of Qi, and the King of Qi does not pay food when he comes.  There are rations when you come."

    "Listen, what are these words?"

    "This is really abominable."

    Liu Xi said in a deep voice: "So I conclude that this is actually Xiao Qingzhi who arranged a secret stake to spread news wantonly in the city and incite people's hearts to make them impetuous."

    After hearing this, Shi Chong snorted: "A group of untouchables is nothing to mention. You don't have to worry about this matter. You only need to ensure that our army can securely defend Guangling. When we win this battle, then in the end,  The rumors will be self-defeating and have no impact. Untouchables are not enough to make things happen."

    Liu Xidao: "My lord, please don't do it. Xiao Qingzhi is trying to shake people's hearts. His intentions are really evil. We must be on guard."

    Shi Chong asked: "What do you mean, sir?"

    Liu Xi analyzed: "Sir, why is Xiao Qingzhi spreading rumors? If it is just to stir up a little news, in fact, it is nothing, so there is no need to worry."

    "The problem is that as the news continues to spread, it will inevitably lead to countless people talking about it. In the next step, the other party may organize troops. When Xiao Qingzhi's army attacks the city, there may be internal agents in the city."

    "So this news is very detrimental to our current situation."

    Liu Xi said: "These insiders may even destroy our granary or even destroy our arsenal. No matter what it is, it will have a huge impact on us. These things must be guarded against."

    Shi Chong was in a bad mood.

    Originally, I was in a good mood after some exercise, but after listening to Liu Xi¡¯s analysis, I no longer felt happy at all, but instead became very angry.

    Damn Xiao Qingzhi.

    It¡¯s really hateful!

    Shi Chong said in a deep voice:"Sir, how should you deal with this situation?"

    Liu Xi shook his head and said: "Because there are too many people talking about this matter, the entire news has spread in Guangling City. Under such circumstances, we simply cannot suppress it. We need to find out the person behind the scenes, because the other party is hiding  It¡¯s impossible to do it in a crowd.¡±

    Shi Chongdao: "It's impossible to ignore it!"

    Liu Xi sighed: "The most important thing is that the agricultural tax and commercial tax we are currently implementing are relatively strict. In comparison, the people have more opinions. The people are boiling and cannot be suppressed!"

    ¡°Asshole!¡±

    When Shi Chong heard this, he couldn't help but scolded him.

    Liu Xi looked a little frightened and said quickly: "It's because of the humble position and incompetence. Please forgive me."

    Shi Chong waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with you. I know that Sir has always been loyal. You have followed me for many years, how can I not understand you. I just scolded these damn people."

    "A group of untouchables and a group of unruly people."

    Shi Chong's eyes were sharp and he said: "Sir, you take a group of government officials and patrol the city directly. If anyone is talking, kill them directly. I want to see who dares to talk anymore."

    Liu Xi¡¯s expression changed drastically, and he admonished, ¡°Sir, you can¡¯t do that. Once you do this, I¡¯m afraid it will even trigger a popular uprising.¡±

    "Civil uprising?"

    Shi Chong's triangular eyes projected a cold light, and contained a strong killing intent.

    Who dares to rebel?

    Are you tired of living?

    Shi Chong flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "A mere civil uprising is nothing. Untouchables are like leeks. They will regenerate naturally after being killed. Sir, you just follow the order. I want to see how many people dare to talk about it. I  Under Shi Chong's rule, anyone who dares to rebel will die."

    Liu Xi persuaded again: "My lord, in normal times, I would never persuade someone in my humble position and directly execute the order. The problem is that now, at the critical moment, we cannot be so reckless. Once such an arrangement is made, the consequences will be disastrous."

    Shi Chong said: "It is precisely at this critical moment that such an arrangement is more necessary and must be done. In troubled times, heavy codes are used. On this occasion, extraordinary means must be used to suppress all discussions. Sir, you don't need to persuade anymore.  , Just execute the order. I want to see who dares to rebel and who dares to resist me."

    Liu Xi was still worried and said: "Sir, this"

    "No need to persuade me any more!"

    Shi Chong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This matter is settled. Now, you can carry out the order. Go early and come back early. After killing a group of people, the discussion will naturally subside."

    "yes!"

    Liu Xi reluctantly agreed.

    He felt quite regretful.

    ¡°If I had known it earlier, I shouldn¡¯t have come here to persuade him to report it. The matter would have been easier to handle.  Now that the news in the city has been reported, Shi Chong's solution has actually made the situation more complicated and difficult.

    Liu Xi had no choice but to go to the army and mobilize a group of soldiers to carry out the order.

    The number of soldiers was not large, only a hundred.  One hundred soldiers followed Liu Xi and patrolled the city directly. As soon as they heard the people talking, they stepped forward and started killing them indiscriminately without saying a word.

    ?? Continuous slashing and killing, in less than half an hour, hundreds of people were killed or injured.

    The news spread in the city.

    Countless people were silent, and many people hated Shi Chong even more.

    Originally, Guangling County under Shi Chong's rule imposed excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.  It was not easy for the King of Qi to come, but the people did not expect that they would be massacred despite their comments, which made the people extremely angry.

    Nie Feng is also in the city.

    He soon received the news that the government was massacring the people. In a short period of time, Nie Feng gathered all his soldiers.  All the people gathered in a remote and deserted residence somewhere in the West City.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
