Chapter 116: Safe and sound

In the early morning of the third day of the civil unrest, Jin Wuwei attacked Katoriji Temple, and under the siege of the group, several elders in the temple had no escape, and those who committed suicide committed suicide, and those who could not commit suicide became prisoners. It was already past noon when the fifth Qi came to Katoriji Temple in person.

There were a total of thirteen elders in the temple in Katori Temple, nine of them, none of whom lived, and the remaining four committed suicide by hanging themselves, but two of them failed to succeed, and they became the targets of the Fifth Qi's severe torture. There is no need to be tortured in practice, and the oaths of these two cultivators will be recruited in 1510.

In addition to the Daningfang Dugu family and the Chongrenfang Dou family, the heads of these two families had started planning a month ago, and after dozens of premeditations, they were finally completed three days ago. It's a pity that their opponent is Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army that he uses as his help.

Even before the Shenwu Army could make a move, Jin Wuwei alone suppressed this seemingly massive rebellion. And the Xiangtori Temple is the major Buddhist temples in Jingzhao Mansion have the most land, the imperial court Qingzhang land, the biggest loss is naturally the Xiangtori Temple, under the premise of serious damage to the interests, what monk practice is nonsense, resistance is the last word.

As a result, Katori Temple and Daningfang Dugu family and Chongrenfang Dou family formed an alliance, after careful planning, everything went very smoothly, but after thousands of calculations, what was not calculated was that the Shenwu army was strong and almost out of reality, and only the Jin Wuwei on the periphery wiped out all the chaotic people.

Fifth Qi looked at the two elders of Katori Temple, they didn't even have any traces of torture on their bodies, but they were not even as good as the most ordinary bandits and bandits in terms of temperament, and they betrayed the real mastermind behind the scenes without any hesitation.

"Go back to the city and get people!"

Fifth Qi's sneer lasted for not even the blink of an eye, he did not execute these two so-called elders on the spot, but only burned down the centuries-old Katoriji Temple, allowing them to survive in the world, and being spurned by fellow monks is probably the most cruel punishment.

Daning Fang, Chang'an City, the Dugu family was already facing the hurdle of Qingzhang land, and it was not a day or two to be targeted by the bad people sent by the political affairs hall, and now after learning that all the plans have failed, there is a desperate atmosphere in the whole house.

The head of the family is an old man who has experienced nearly 50 years of Kaiyuan Tianbao Zhide, and he knows that the collapse of the family is just around the corner, and after hastily explaining the aftermath, he chose to commit suicide by hanging the beam, leaving a mess to be handed over to his children to clean up.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether this mess is cleaned up or not, Fifth Qi confiscated Dugu's house at the first time, and he couldn't even wait for the night, all the men were sent to prison to be disposed of, even the infant children were no exception. In contrast, the treatment of female dependents is better, according to age, those under the age of 30 are sold to the official eunuchs as slaves, and the old and decrepit can only be used as coolies in the court......

As a result, a family that lasted for hundreds of years was wiped out. The Dou family, who planned the civil unrest together, is not much better, it is also the noble family of the foreign relatives, the head of the family has died in the chaos, the rest are either imprisoned or sold into slavery, a large number of assets and land armaments are collected by the imperial court, the two most prominent families since the early Tang Dynasty have been defeated together, everyone who hears it is embarrassed, and those who are also relatives and magnates are suddenly in danger of pond fish, but that's all.

The risk of going against the Shenwu Army is too great, once it fails, the entire family will be destroyed, with the lessons of the Dugu family and the Dou family, almost all the families of the nobles and nobles in Jingzhao Mansion are invariably low-key.

For example, the Jingzhao Du family, who lived in Wannian County, actually handed over 300 hectares of cultivated land to the imperial court at one time, and they were all the most fertile land. Immediately afterwards, the major families in Guanzhong donated land to the imperial court, for fear of falling behind, and in just three or five days, the official documents on the land donation on Qin Jin's desk were piled up as high as a hill.

Compared with the destruction of the family and the extermination of the family, handing over the land is obviously the wisest choice. The tragic misfortune of the Dugu family and the Dou family really warned too many people, so that the major families that were still about to move were succumbed in an instant.

The work of Qingzhang's land became more smooth than ever, but the fifth Qi was not happy, because Mrs. Fansu and the eldest prince disappeared in this civil unrest, although I don't know whether they were dead or alive, but after all, they left a shadow. If one day they find out that they have been killed, will there be any hope for their future?

Therefore, Fifth Qi's mind was no longer on the land of Qingzhang at all, and all the people of Jin Wuwei were scattered out, in order to find the whereabouts of Mrs. Fansu and the eldest prince. However, people do not fulfill people's wishes, and for three days in a row, there is no gain.

In comparison, on the contrary, Qin Jin was much calmer, and even comforted Fifth Qi:

"There is no news, maybe it is good news, don't worry too much, life and death are also the luck of their mothers. ”

Fifth Qi believed in this statement, but what he didn't believe was that if Fan Su and the eldest prince were killed by the rebels under his hands, would Qin Jin still be able to tolerate himself?

Therefore, no matter how Qin Jin pretended to relax and comforted him, he always looked preoccupied, as long as he left the handsome hall where Qin Jin was, the only thing he did was to find the mother and son.

However, Fansu's mother and son seem to have evaporated from the world, and even if the fifth Qi digs three feet into the ground, these two people will not see anyone alive or dead, as if they have evaporated for no reason. However, under the chaos of the army, it is also like this, killing a handful of people, maybe it will be buried in a hurry, if you want to find it specifically, how can you find a needle in a haystack?

In the end, Fifth Qi was almost desperate, but he didn't dare to report the matter to Qin Jin, and he couldn't sleep at night after being tortured by this matter for several days. In the end, Qin Jin took the initiative to find him and told him that he didn't have to feel guilty about it, Fansu's mother and son, as Qin Jin's relatives, should bear these risks, if God didn't make it beautiful, he could only resent God, how could it affect irrelevant people?

However, the more enlightened Qin Jin's statement was, the more guilty Fifth Qi became, if he couldn't make this matter start and end well, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to get over this hurdle for himself.

In the dead of night, Qin Jin also couldn't sleep at night, and while experiencing apprehension and suffering, he had to pretend to be indifferent to comfort Fifth Qi. However, the mother and son of Fansu do not see people alive or dead, and for him, they are like iron ropes across the river, they can't go up or down, they can't go up and down the world, and they can't get a definite result for a long time, and only those who experience it can understand the pain in it.

However, these days are not completely without good news, Zheng Xianli sent back the military report from Anxi, Liang Zai, the ambassador of Anxi Jiedu, has agreed to return to Chang'an, the overall situation of the Anxi Protectorate has been under the control of the Shenwu Army, due to the sharp decline of Tibet, the influence in the Western Regions has fallen like a cliff, and the small countries in the Western Regions have also changed their previous wavering attitude to the Metropolitan Protectorate to show unprecedented deference.

The stability of the situation in Anxi finally made Qin Jin breathe a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to put his limited experience in the far west. For the stormy Tang Dynasty, Hebei and Jiangnan are the real troubles.

Wei saw that Su Xuan was in charge of Jiangnan, Gao Shi and Liu Zhan and others did not dare to act rashly, and they were able to reach thousands of troops and horses by themselves, which was a result that Qin Jin had not expected before. In the past, Wei Jiansu gave people the impression that he was mostly cowardly and timid, and never took the initiative to take care of things, but now, this person's performance is unusual, not only risking his life to take the initiative to appease Jiangnan, but also deterring Gao Shi and Liu Zhan who are about to move with his own strength. This had to surprise Qin Jin.

He really wanted to know the details, what kind of means Wei Jiansu used to restrain these two Jiedu envoys who held real power in the local military, government and finance.

However, it is not a big deal whether the details are known or not, the important thing is that Wei Jiansu can always stabilize the situation in Jiangnan and buy enough time for the imperial court to exterminate Shi Siming's rebels. In order to cooperate with Wei Jiansu, Qin Jin instructed the political affairs hall to use the Huainan West Dao Festival to make Xuan Xuan Fu and the two Huai, so that Gao Shi, who was originally on an equal footing, lowered his head by half a head.

This trick is a typical mix of sand, but if there is a star and a half in Laiyao, or Gao Shi has a little bit of resentment, the two of them may turn their faces in an instant, as long as the two Huai are not in harmony, even if the two Zhejiang have a rebellion, they will definitely not be able to get around the two Huai.

As long as this plan succeeds, it will not only further alleviate the pressure on Luoyang on the Jianghuai side, but also provide valuable time for the extermination of Shi Siming.

"Doctor, the squire Wei Wei begs to see!"

Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, Wei Wei was a rare guest, he had a good impression of this person, but that's all. Because of Wei Jiansu's strict family education, the children of the Wei family have maintained a lukewarm distance from the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the powerful, and only in this way have the Wei family stood firm for decades in the complex struggle of all parties.

"Please!"

No matter what the situation of the Wei family is, Wei Wei is a more pragmatic person, and Qin Jin has a good impression of him. Otherwise, Qin Jin would not have supported Wei Jin's status in the Wei family despite the criticism of gossip.

When he saw Wei Qi, Qin Jin found that this once suave son-in-law brother was much older, and even his back seemed a little rickety, which was naturally caused by perennial depression and unsatisfactoryness. Although the Wei family has not been wiped out, but after all, it has gone through several ups and downs, and Wei Wei himself has also sat in the position of the door for ten years, and there has been no dimensional progress, and now he is promoted to the door squire is also the result of his father's exchange for his own life and death.

Thinking of all this, Qin Jin sighed secretly, the official eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty really had a sharp sword hanging above their heads all the time, maybe it would be cut down at any time, or it would not be cut off immediately, and this and then the piecemeal chopping was also painful.
