Ah Du hugged his knees, put a corner of Xue Yunyan's robe sleeve in the corner of his eye, and looked at Xue Yunheng again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the conversation between the two of them actually softened the atmosphere in the carriage, and the feeling of saber-rattling was gone, replaced by a rare quiet and peaceful.

Xue Yunyan was looking at the last page of the book, his face was calm, reminiscent of the quiet and wide lake, when there was no wind, it was mellow and tranquil.

There was a sound of turning pages in the carriage, which accentuated a sense of silence.

Xue Yunyan finally finished reading the last page of the book and closed the book.

"Let's talk about Zou Chengwei." He put the book aside, picked up the teacup and looked at Xue Yunheng, his long light ink-colored eyebrows stretched, his eyes were clear, and his tone was very calm: "I only know that he is the captain of Fujie County, and the rest don't know, and I hope that the second brother will give advice." ”

From Fang Cai's immobility like a mountain to his calm speech at the moment, Xue Yunyan acted like a cloud, and the two attitudes changed very freely.

Xue Yunheng straightened his expression, frowned and groaned for a while, and said in a deep voice: "At the end of September last year, when I led people to sneak into Fujie County, I got Zou Yishou's help. His tone was also very calm, with a little memory in his expression: "Zou Yishou is a talent in the seventh year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, and in the eighth year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, he passed the Chenggu County Council and the Hanzhong County Council, and went to Dadu in the spring of the ninth year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, and served as the general secretary of Zhongshu Province under the door, because he offended Zhou Pingzhong, he was demoted to Fujie County, Hanjia County a year later, and became a captain. ”

"Zhou Pingzhong?" Xue Yunyan said slowly, his long eyebrows like light ink moved slightly: "Zhou Pingzhong is the right man of Shangshu, why should he be embarrassed about a small matter?" Are the two old acquaintances? ”

Xue Yunheng looked at him unexpectedly, nodded and said, "Although it is not hit, it is not far away." The two of them don't know each other, but when Zhou Youcheng was down, he was favored by Zou Chengwei's mother's family. ”

Xue Yunyan sighed, groaned slightly, and his eyes crossed the color of Ran: "Back then, no one knew about it, but now I am shocked to hear that the old man is here, for fear of losing face, and if he does not repay his kindness, he will become an enemy, so he will squeeze the descendants of the old man away?" ”

"Exactly." The corners of Xue Yunheng's lips hooked up with a sneer, and his voice was like ice: "The family style of the Zhou family in Chuyang is like this, the favor will take revenge, and he has not taken anyone's life, and he has been counted as merciful." ”

The Zhou family of Weiyang relied on the means of revenge, and in the case of the Huan family's ten kills, he betrayed the Huan family who had been carrying the Zhou family, and asked for the glory of the family, and became a big family.

Xue Yunheng mentioned Zhou Zhongping, is Zhou Cidao's youngest concubine, because of his mother, was driven to the countryside farm to live, almost died of cold and starvation, fortunately there are well-wishers to rescue, leftovers and clothes to him, he survived a life.

Later, because of his good knowledge, he was taken back to his own clan by Zhou Cidao to raise, and under the arrangement of the Zhou family, he became a scholar and a right man, but he didn't want to see Zou Yishou, the son of the old man who gave him leftovers, he didn't want to repay the favor, but he squeezed Zou Yishou out of the capital and settled him in Fujie County, Hanjia County.

However, with the power of the Zhou family, such an arrangement may not have other meanings.

After being silent for a while, Xue Yunyan asked Xue Yunheng, "It's just a personal grudge?" ”

After all, the Zhou family is not an idle person, and the things that Xue Yunheng investigated involve a wide range of things, and the two are connected, so people can't help but think about it.

"What I found was just a personal grudge." Xue Yunheng said, his expression was also a little uncertain, and his voice was calm: "If it weren't for personal grudges, the matter between Jiangyang and Hanjia would be more complicated. ”

Xue Yunyan pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Let go of this in advance, and you can continue." ”

Xue Yunheng looked at him, and then continued: "Not long after Zou Yishou served as a lieutenant in Fujie, he noticed that there was a huge discrepancy between the number of tenants and acres of land in the county. He made another statement to the county magistrate, but he was also blocked back, and sent two officials to follow him all day, and arranged other things for him, so that he would not be allowed to touch the field register and the household register. ”

At this point he stopped, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Xue Yunyan looked at him quietly for a while, and said slowly: "The next thing, let me guess." I guess he must have been obedient on the surface, but secretly he went to inspect the tenants and acres privately, and maybe even went to a neighboring county to investigate, right? ”

"Yes." Xue Yunheng nodded very simply, put down the teacup, and his face became more and more calm: "He not only went to the neighboring county, but spent two years checking Hanjia County and Jiangyang County, and finally came to the conclusion that among the scholars of the two counties, some people moved Futian to private land, and privately placed tenants to fake and reincarnate, this matter involves the two counties and even Shangjing and Dadushi clans, and there are many Guan family surnames. Now there is very little land left in the two counties, and some scholars have recruited more than 10,000 tenants. ”

Xue Yunyan's eyes froze, and the breath on his body suddenly turned cold.

"Ten thousand?" His quiet eyebrows and eyes were emotionless, and his voice did not fluctuate, "Tenants? Private soldiers? ”

Xue Yunheng's condensed gaze stopped on the candle flame, hooked his lips and said, "If outsiders come to check, they are tenants; If there is a need, it is a private soldier. It depends on how things go. He smiled coldly.

Xue Yunyan didn't speak, picked up the plain celadon cup, and drank the tea.

"You should know about the 'tiger word without a head', right?" Xue Yunheng asked at this time.

Xue Yunyan put down the teacup and nodded, and then slowly pushed the teacup in front of Ah Du.

Ah Du hurriedly took the teapot and poured the tea, and the steaming tea poured into the cup, and Xue Yunheng's voice also sounded: "Xia Chenghu and Zou Yishou studied together back then, and the two had some friendship. In September last year, I took someone to sneak into the Fu Festival, and Mr. Xia offered to meet the deceased, originally wanting to ask Zou Yishou about the situation, but later I learned that this person had been quietly investigating for two years, but he had full evidence. Mr. Xia temporarily changed his mind and wanted to bring Zou Yishou out, but he didn't want to alarm the other party's people, but in the end, it was Mr. Xia ......"

He let out a long sigh, and the headless corpse seemed to appear in front of him again, and his heart was a little gloomy.

Xia Chenghu fought hard to get the thread together, but now it is broken. Zou Yishou, who has a lot of evidence in his hand, is dead, and the matter of Fu Jie is becoming more and more confusing, those people have been warned by this, and their actions have become more and more restrained, and some people have even quietly cleaned up their heads and tails, and Emperor Zhongyuan is now obsessed with beauty, so he does not summon Xue Yunheng at all, as if he has completely forgotten about this matter.

Seeing that the matter of the rune was about to be put on hold indefinitely, every time he thought about it, Xue Yunheng always felt that the depression in his chest was entangled, and the block was difficult to eliminate. (To be continued.) )
