"Prime Minister Cao broke the agreement first. Now that we want to leave, you won't let us go?"
"Or do you want to use our lives to threaten the family behind us?"
"As an official of the imperial court, if you kill us in broad daylight, you can imagine what the consequences will be."
Although his elder brother was Li Linfu.
But after all, he did not serve as an official in the court like the latter.
Therefore, naturally, family interests must be prioritized in everything.
Wei Yang laughed and said, "Even if I kill you, what's the harm?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The heads of the major families were completely shocked.
Could it be that the Qin Dynasty has really reached the point where it is no longer afraid of wars breaking out in various places?
This is the price of killing them.
Afterwards, they only heard Wei Yang continue:
"The Land Reform Law and the Land Law have begun to spread throughout the country."
"As the head of an aristocratic family, it would be fine if you didn't help the court, but you actually wanted to do something bad in secret and sabotage the court's land reform."
"According to the laws of the court, let alone killing you, even exterminating your entire clan would be a light punishment."
"If that's the case, why can't I kill you? If I kill you, I'll be acting according to the law, and no one in the world will say anything."
"If you don't believe me...you can try it."
Wei Yang spoke in a very calm voice.
But there is a kind of majesty that makes people dare not look directly at it.
The most important thing is that when they thought about it carefully, they suddenly realized that what Wei Yang said actually made sense.
Both the Land Reform Law and the Land Law have appeared. If you still want to openly or secretly resist the court's decision, you are breaking the law.
By then, when people act in accordance with the law, what else can the five great families say?
There is no reason to "make trouble".
If they knew that the so-called land law and land reform law were both formulated by Wei Yang.
I'm afraid I'll break out in a cold sweat.
Wei Yang, on the other hand, had become invincible by relying on his adherence to the law.
This is why the descendants of the Legalists are generally successful in their reforms.
Today, the heads of the five great families are filled with resentment, fear, and panic.
They thought the imperial court was too aggressive, but they were also afraid of the power it possessed.
Even one of the family heads began to frown and looked extremely depressed.
Wei Yang glanced at everyone, taking in all the changes in their expressions, and then began a long speech. Everyone only heard him say in a deep voice:
"I know very well that the reason you don't want land reform is because your family has too many people to support."
"However, this time the land distribution is calculated by the state based on each household and each person, so it will definitely not cause your family's interests to suffer too much loss."
"If you are willing to become friends of the court and be law-abiding citizens of the Great Qin, the court will remember your contributions and will not make things difficult for you."
"But if you insist on being an enemy of the Great Qin, then... your remains will be buried in the land you value so much."
"Of course, that's just the best-case scenario. If you go any further, you might end up having no place to stay."
"The court has a clear conscience about everything you have done, because it is all clearly documented in the new land law."
To put it bluntly, Wei Yang said so much just to tell them one thing.
Even if we kill you, the court will act according to the law.
The imperial court is reasonable, and this reason is the law formulated by the imperial court.
