Chapter 24: Temptation

P> "Expensive solution? "The last time he caught someone, his attention was mainly on Huang Yong, who was rescued, he just glanced at it in a hurry, and now he took a closer look at this thin man with messy hair and beard and a frightened expression, Liu Yu really couldn't imagine how he could assassinate the deputy head of the township soldiers guarding the city before the chaotic army, and then hijacked the imperial envoy who came to inspect under the noses of everyone.

p> I have to admit that the person in front of me is really a talent, this kind of behavior is not at all like what a second generation of officials can do, he is born rich and noble, and he is not the eldest son and grandson, and there is no pressure from the Everbright family. What is the purpose of such a desperate effort, Liu Yu looked at him playfully, so that the latter did not dare to look at him at all.

p > could see that Xie Chenggui's fear was sincere, and Liu Yu didn't know what Li Shiyi and the others had done to him to make him like this. At this moment, a thickened paper full of words was in his hand, and it was full of Xie Chenggui's confessions, so detailed that he peeked at the maid at home taking a bath, and it was really difficult for him to remember things so clearly when he was a child.

p> Liu Yu is interested in the situation of the Xie family, this is really a big family, just the current news, in the army of the Tartars going south, the three generations of the Xie family are in the army. At present, the head of the family, Xie Cheng, and the eldest grandson, Xie Tiege, serve in the naval army under Ali Hague, and the eldest son Xie Ruji and the second grandson Xie Chenggui followed Boyan to Jiankang, of course, the ending was very unfortunate, and together with the starting subordinates of the Xie family, they all died or became prisoners of the Song people.

> In Hebei, the influence of the Xie family should not be underestimated, starting from the Jurchen Society, they are local tycoons, and after more than 100 years of operation, they are now the same princes. It is estimated that it is precisely because of this, in order to prevent Kublai Khan's taboo, they will come out to work for the Yuan people, they are really an out-and-out hardcore traitor family.

p > naturally, Liu Yu did not have the luxury of hoping to let them anyway if he could get through the Guò Xie father and son, for this kind of big family, the life and death of several members is insignificant, and the only thing that can affect their tendency is the general trend, and it seems that the Yuan people are far above the Great Song Dynasty, so even if they threaten the lives of their father and son, they can't shake them at all, but there is nothing to do here.

p> "Xie Chenggui, in the first battle of Jiankang, you killed my general, broke my north gate, and let my soldiers be killed and wounded, and then hijacked the big man in the camp, but this official still let you live until now." Do you know that even people like Lu Wenhuan and Fan Wenhu, the official also said that he would kill them, think about it, why are your father and son still alive alone? ”

p > because this kid's previous record was really strong, although he looked very weak and didn't even have the strength to stand up, the soldiers still didn't dare to slack off, blocked Liu Yu three feet away, and arranged manpower on his left and right to prevent him from hurting people. For this kind of caution, Liu Yu naturally doesn't think it's wrong, safety first and everything else is nonsense.

p> "The small ones don't dare to speculate, and ask the nobles to make it clear." Xie Chenggui's voice is as weak as his people, the experience of these days has long made him forget his identity, people are like this, since the psychological defense line has been destroyed, the determination to die without will become weak, even if there is a glimmer of life, he will hold on tightly.

P> "You are a smart person, and the official doesn't want to go around in circles with you, the lives of your father and son are in the hands of the official, and if you want to live, you have to exchange things for it." Liu Yu shook the paper in his hand as he spoke, shook his head and continued: "Based on this alone, the official can't think of any use for you. ”

p > Xie Chenggui raised his head blankly, he naturally didn't know where Xie Ruji was at the moment, he could only imagine that he should be taken care of like himself. Although his family is powerful and wealthy, he doesn't have much property, not to mention that the official in front of him doesn't seem to be saying this for money, so what does he want? Something to give yourself.

p> "Listen, the official wants to relieve the family." Liu Yu stared at his eyes and said word by word, the amount of information in these words seemed to be too large, so that Xie Chenggui didn't even shout out in surprise, he opened his mouth wide and was stunned there, if he could live, he wouldn't mind offering the Xie family's property, but it was not up to him, not even his father, why did this person say that?

p> "Are you thinking that you are just a concubine, and your father is not a patriarch, even if you are asked to write a letter, your eldest father will not go bankrupt to ransom you?" You are wrong, just a little money, the official didn't pay attention to it, what the official wants is for you to get rid of the family and use it for me, understand? ”

p > didn't know if he was hungry or shocked by Liu Yu's words, Xie Chenggui's mind was blank, and the clever energy of the past didn't know where to run for a long time. Under such circumstances, how could the Xie family throw themselves into the Great Song Dynasty? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Xie family is willing, how can the Great Song Dynasty help the Xie family from such a distance, do you want to abandon the countryside and go south? How is this possible.

p> "How is your eldest brother doing to you?" Brothers, friends, and brothers are still very guarded, how about your mother? A concubine, he is afraid that he will not look at it with his eyes, what about your eldest father, when you are his serious grandson? What about Xie Ruji, let you fight in this army, have you ever cared about your life and death? Remember the last letter, you are just a disobedient son in his eyes, and it is not a pity to die. ”

>Before he could think about it, Liu Yu's words rang in his ears like thunder, and every word spoke to his heart, and all the things in the past came to his heart. Brother and brother? I have almost never gotten any brotherly affection when I am so big, and since I was born, I and my lowly biological mother have become a thorn in the side of the mother and son.

p> And the eccentric father seems to only have that baby grandson in his eyes, how can there be a shadow of his own grandson in his eyes? was said by Liu Yu, Xie Chenggui suddenly found that his heart was full of hatred for the Xie family, even his own father was no exception, and before he knew it, his face began to be hideous, his teeth were bitten up and down, and he made a "gurgling" sound.

p > "I can't figure it out, it's the same surname Xie, why can he be clothed and fed, sit and wait to inherit the family business, and if he is in a good mood, he can reward you with a bite to eat, and if he is in a bad mood, he can be beaten and scolded by your mother and son like pigs and dogs." And you, can only work desperately to earn a military merit, hoping that the Lord will be gracious, and the mother will exchange a peace with her son, he is smarter than you or can do it better than you? ”

p> "Phew, he's something, but if he's lucky enough to be born in his mother's arms, he can press a certain head everywhere, no matter what he does, they can't see it, why!" A certain is not convinced, not convinced. Liu Yu's words were like the temptation of the devil, pouring out all the little things in Xie Chenggui's heart, and when he said the last few words, he almost screamed out, and the sergeants next to him hurriedly grabbed his arm and clamped him tightly in place.

p> This is an ambitious person, Liu Yu is very satisfied with his reaction, as long as he has this heart, the next thing will be easy to do, he can't give the yuan person he wants, only he can give it. Liu Yu quietly waited for him to finish venting before signaling the sergeants to let him go and let him sit on the ground.

p> "It seems that you don't have any foundation in the Xie family, the better you behave, the more jealous your eldest brother will be of you, and if you want to get rid of him, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Your father is in the prime of life, and it is easy to have a few more sons, so how are you going to go? After a while, seeing that his expression slowly dimmed, Liu Yu spoke.

P> "The little one is not talented, and I ask the nobles to help me, but please do not ask me." Xie Chenggui fell to his knees all of a sudden, and he didn't care about being dirty, and he kept kowtowing. After coming to this time and space for so long, Liu Yu finally saw someone bowing to him, although his posture was ugly, like a dog, and even the soldiers on the side showed disdain.

p> Things have come to this point, Liu Yu can basically judge that this person is no threat to him, he pushed away the soldiers and walked up, patted his head full of messy hair, which was covered with dirt I don't know how long it hadn't been washed. The soldiers brought a horse to sit down for him, Xie Chenggui stopped kowtowing, and knelt straight in front of him.

p> "I want to dismantle the family, and the dismantling family you control, and then use it for me, do you understand now?" Xie Chenggui nodded mechanically, he didn't understand, and he didn't notice a detail, Liu Yu always said "for my use", not "for the use of the Great Song Dynasty".

p > now, Liu Yu just wants him to have an attitude, this kind of thing is useless, only if he is willing, it will have an effect, as for how to master him, Liu Yu is not worried, he also has a bargaining chip is Xie Ruji, once Xie Chenggui has other thoughts, he only needs to push his father to pull him down.

p > how to do it, that is a long-term planning process, now, there is an understanding of Chenggui's card, for his people to sneak into Hebei and other places will be very convenient, where it is already very close to the capital, it can be said that the heart of the Tartars, where to take root, for the future war, will play an immeasurable role.

p> like the Xie family, who started with military merits, was fine in wartime, but when the time came to peace, if he didn't hand over his military power, he would only end up with Li Pu. Liu Yu really hoped that there would be a few more figures like Li Pu in the north, adding more trouble to Kublai Khan, and not letting him always focus on the south side of the Yangtze River.

p> "Huh? You are Li Pu's old department. Zhang Qingyun took the roster and looked at the record on it, "Qingzhou people's clan, Shi Chang", the big man in front of him did have a wide frame of Shandong people, although he was so hungry that he was out of shape, he could also imagine the burly appearance before.

p> "Shangguan, Xiao is indeed a subordinate of Li Shuai, who was incorporated into the army after the city of Jinan was broken, because of this reason, he has always been life and death first, as for the military rewards are all greedy, and now it is just a long time, if Shangguan does not give up, a certain willingness to serve the Great Song Dynasty, there is no second heart." ”

p > listened to his sworn words, Zhang Qingyun was a little disapproving, he was originally a traitor, he turned around when he saw that the situation was wrong, and now he has become a prisoner and wants to change the court, such a person has always been despised by others. It's just that he came to pick people, and what he was looking for was this kind of person, who had a grudge against the Tartars, so it was the best.

p> "How many people like you are left in this camp, you might be able to find them?" Zhang Qingyun nodded, and crossed his name with a pen, the man saw that he was selected, his face was happy, not to mention that he couldn't eat enough in this camp, and he had to do rough work all day long, he couldn't ask for a chance to leave, as for what to do, what was it?

p> "I recognize it, the little ones are still a little close to the old, and they are all in the camp, such as Shangguan's favor, and the little ones are going to call them out, and they are willing to serve Shangguan just like the little ones." The man patted his chest, Zhang Qingyun let out a faint "um", and he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the prisoner camp, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

> stopped the pen in his hand, Zhang Qingyun looked at the big camp in front of him, he had been here for a day, and according to Liu Yu's request, the number of people selected was very small, and this was only the primary election. Most of these captives were waiting, after all, their families were still in the north, and they would immediately turn to serve the Song people, and they knew the Tatar nature well and knew what would happen, and only these who had already been traitors would have no scruples.
