Yang Mian listened to Sun Jixiang's secret decree, and sighed in his heart, and saw that Yang Yan actually sat back and watched the other party leave, and was even more anxious. , the latest chapter of the visit wèn:.

After Sun Jixiang and his party left, he restrained himself for a long time, but he still couldn't help it: "Cousin, Fang Cai ......" Why didn't you put them under house arrest and find some way to let them stand on their side and be forced to join him?

Yang Yan thought back to Fang Cai's scene, and his face was extremely heavy: "The person standing next to Sun Jixiang looks ordinary, he doesn't have the appearance of a 'guard' at all, and he is incompatible with the entire team. But do you see, the rest of the 'guards' who have calm steps, clear eyes, calluses on their hands, and don't seem to be weak in kung fu are all very in awe of him, and they have to secretly look at him every once in a while. ”

Such a person, even if he is not amazing, must have something extraordinary, Yang Yandu does not dare to underestimate it.

He is over the age of 'flower' and has experienced a lot of things, old and spicy. After a little thought, it became clear that this person was either extremely skilled, or his identity was too amazing. If the latter is the case, the situation may worsen even more if he is detained; If it is the former, in case he rises out and hurts someone...... Even though there is no real power in the imperial court, in Hongnong County, in the family, Yang Yan's power is not small. He has enjoyed the wealth of most of his life, so he naturally doesn't want to die so unjustly and cheapen others.

I have to say that Yang Yan's judgment is very correct, if he dared to "stay" this team just now, Chang Qing would definitely be able to capture him with lightning speed, whether it was to take him hostage or kill him to make the Yang family 'chaos', it would be a good way to get out. This is also the reason why Chang Qing wants to follow Sun Jixiang to explore the pattern of Wubao Fort, and second, just in case, after all, the family, shamelessness has long been the norm, and it has to be guarded against.

Yang Yan said as he spoke, still a little afraid, but he didn't know that his cousin's heart had sunk.

The words of the imperial court are beautiful, and it is enough to punish the first evil, but what is the standard of this "first evil"?

If you do something else, there may be room for mediation, and the court has always been very tough in its attitude when it comes to rebellion. Yang Mian knew that this time, the Hongnong Yang clan would definitely hurt the vitality of the imperial court and said that your family should pick a few people who were mixed in to commit suicide, and you can't really pick a few irrelevant clansmen to pass the test. For the sake of their own safety, and for the sake of the court's good looks, at least one branch of the lineage, or a few side branches that have not been out of three suits and are extremely close to the branch of the court.

Not only that, but the court said that it wanted you to commit suicide, and you couldn't help but make a statement. I have to find a reason to expel this branch from the family, and I can't take care of it secretly.

If the family can be properly taken care of, it is enough to sacrifice themselves, but in this case...... 'life' is gone, the reputation is gone, the future is gone, and even the future of the family is gone, who wants to make such a loss-making transaction?

Hu 'chaos' identified the clansmen, forced the other party to sacrifice, and it was okay to change it to normal, but Hongnong County was Cao Rui's fox. Cao Rui has been in Hongnong County for five or six years, and he has long 'touched' the relationship between all parties, and the family has hardly begged for anything from him, but has to contribute to the prosperity of Hongnong every once in a while. Now that such things have happened, Cao Rui may hate the Yang family in his heart, and he is thinking of "making meritorious contributions", where will he be soft? Identify it casually, don't even think about it, Cao Rui is waiting here!

Yang Yan was even afraid of the 'guards', afraid that the other party would riot and hurt others and harm his own 'life', how could he be willing to come forward to bear the responsibility, but if he was unwilling to bear it...... Thinking of this, Yang Mian snorted a 'excited' spirit, only to feel cold all over his body.

The only ones who really know about the iron mine are the two of them, along with their eldest son. Yang Yan didn't want to die for himself and his son, did Yang Mian think about it?

The heart of the court is really sinister! He's got to figure out a way...... They can't be the only ones who are unlucky, even if they want to die, they should die together!

When Chang Qing hurried to Xin'an County, the local people, called "Jijia Lane", had been surrounded by armor, and the archers guarded the entrance of the alley and all the "gates". Chang Qing saw that on the opposite side of the street, there was a person named Li San squatting at the root of the wall with a grass in his mouth, and he couldn't see others at all if he didn't look carefully, so he avoided the sight of others, walked forward quickly, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li San snorted a 'excited' spirit, and didn't understand when the commander came, but his mouth didn't fall: "Commander, are you here?" I'm staring at the Ji family's house, don't let anything happen. ”

"The government has taken over, so we should withdraw." Chang Qing said lightly, and then asked, "What, what happened?" ”

"The matter has not come out, that is, the Ji family and the local and neighboring counties are all in-laws, and the people of the Ji family were taken away a few days ago, and the whole county was fried. In the past few days, people from neighboring counties have been coming, making trouble and crying, which has caused headaches. Everyone was afraid that those who were soldiers would be unreasonable, so they took turns to watch here, so as not to cause anything to happen, and a good thing would become a bad thing. Li San said with a grin.

Chang Qing patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Yes, sensible." ”

Li Sanda Snake followed, and hurriedly said: "That's it, don't look at who brought it out!" Speaking of this, there was some schadenfreude, "Didn't you see that day, Zhichong Mansion dispatched half of the soldiers and horses to control the city 'gate' of Xin'an County, and fenced this alley, dragging out those nobles in brocade clothes and 'jade' like pigs, dogs, cows and horses." Whoever dares to cry will bet on his mouth, so happy! ”

He was a child of a poor family, and the family couldn't open the pot, so they sold him to Renyazi, and was trained to be a pickpocket at a young age, and later fell into the blood shadow by chance. In short, there is not a good day, and the rejection of the rich is self-explanatory, and it is painful to see them in trouble.

When Chang Qing heard this, he glanced at Li San, Li San was a little frightened, and he didn't understand what he said wrong, so he heard Chang Qing say: "You will also be a noble person in brocade clothes and 'jade' food in the future, so let's say a few words now!" ”

Li San was stunned at first, and then a little incredulous, seeing that Changqing's expression was calm, he somehow believed it, and his face was flushed with excitement, and he subconsciously 'straightened' his chest.

"What did Master Cen say?"

"Oh! This one! Li San lowered his face, "We don't know enough identities, and we have to lead you out." ”

Changqing's identity is sufficient, and his appearance in front of the stage as a "high-ranking official of Lijing's 'door'" is destined to make it impossible for him to go back to the 'yin' shadow. Even a scholar with sufficient qualifications like Cao Rui, or a noble superintendent like Tuoba Li, did not dare to provoke the royal secret agent who was about to change careers.

Of course, they don't cling to it.

Chang Qing walked into the hall with his waist card and found a corner to stand, only Sun Jixiang nodded and said hello. The other three glanced at him, Cao Rui's expression was gentler, Cen Yue's gaze stayed for a moment longer, Tuoba did not squint, but he didn't say anything about driving him away. Instead, the topic continued to be interrupted, only to hear Cao Rui say worriedly: "There are two cases of punishing the three clans in this dynasty, one is the Weiguo Gong Chai family, and the other is the Baoguo Gong Zhang family......"

The Chai family rebelled with the abolished prince, and Emperor Taizong was furious, and punished the three clans of the Chai family, and the three clans at that time were the father, son, and grandson, that is, the head of the Chai family, and his brothers, all of whom were killed.

Needless to say, the Zhang family of Baoguo Gong is not only their family, but most of their in-laws are also from the Liang family. In order to expand the situation, the Mu family quoted scriptures in the court, and insisted that the examples of the three clans changed from father, son, and grandson to father, mother, and wife, which was widely implicated. The sage acquiesced in this matter for the sake of the prince, and only then did he lead the blood of Chang'an West City to flow into a river.

The saints are in power, and it is natural for them to be courtiers to go against the grain. Even if we look for old examples, we should also use the example of the Zhang family of the Duke of Baoguo, not the example of the Chai family of the Duke of Weiguo. However, the Ji family and the local area, as well as the rich squires in several nearby counties are all in-laws, once they really want to be beheaded according to the father, mother, and wife clans, they will have to kill the rich squires in Hongnong County, and the movement will be too big.

Although the family is powerful, in the end, it is very far from the life of ordinary people, but these squires and rich families are close to the lives of ordinary people. Especially those who do business, they all want a good reputation, they are weak, and they are not as jealous of the court as the family, but they dare to build bridges and pave roads, and they have a good reputation in the countryside. The Ji family is innocent, but none of their in-laws know about it, and it is not beautiful to be executed rashly.

Everyone understands this truth, but no one present dares to say it explicitly.

As Wei Tuo said, the vast majority of officials still put being an official before doing things, and the difference is only in the severity of the process. Even if the people are dissatisfied with the court, they may not achieve anything. Cao Rui has been in Hongnong for more than five years, and he may not stay for another three years, so he can leave the mess to the successor county guard, and do this errand decently by himself, even if he is not promoted, he can "redeem the credit".

In the face of major cases, officials generally have a mentality, that is, "Zhulian". How can a prisoner who is only a family show his ability? Fortunately, although Cao Rui attaches more importance to the black yarn hat, he is a more pragmatic official in the end, and the backbone of the early years is still different. Even if his career was damaged and he was restricted everywhere, he changed his strategy for dealing with the world, he still had some persistence in his bones, and when he saw the silence, he hesitated for a moment, or said: "If you take the father, son, and grandchildren and punish them, what do you think?" ”

Cen Yue wanted to make the case bigger, so he was silent; Sun Jixiang protected himself, shrunk his head, and did not speak; Tuoba Li saw that Cao Ruizhen said it, he was quite touched, but he still had some concerns, nodded lightly, and before he could spit out anything, he heard a low male voice not far away: "The county lord has an order, and a few adults can act cheaply, and it is important to be safe." ”

Seeing that Chang Qing was willing to carry it for them, Cao Rui let out a long breath, and was afraid that Cen would be more unhappy, so he said gently: "Ji family...... Alas, even if they are beheaded in three or five days, this matter is not over! ”

Why is it not over? Of course, Hongnong Yang didn't move!

Cen Yue knew that Cao Rui gave him a step, and by the way, he named the situation, and finally felt better, and the military attaché in Luozhou had no confidence as a civilian official, and Cao Rui did this, which already gave him face. What's more, Cao Rui is not wrong, none of the ten squire's families is worth the Hongnong Yang family, so why give up the big and take the small?
