Chapter 111
However, he said that Yan Suzhi had just stepped into Guiyi, and before he could bring the three newly abducted magistrates to inspect the township and familiarize himself with the working environment, he was stopped by Lu Shen and reported a bad news - the mountain tribe that played a very important role in his planning blueprint had a turmoil, the head man and his wife who had a good relationship were killed, and the Shanpu brothers and sisters were missing.
After he hurried back to Yanei to see the matter, he made an emergency plan, and the legend has that Shanpu has disappeared but sent someone to report the news.
Yan Suzhi didn't care about anything else, grabbed the letter, and said to Lu Shen: "Bring the messenger." And the man whom you said had fled down the mountain brought with him, and told them to recognize each other. ”
There are not many mountain people in Guiyi than in Qi people, the mountain people are in turmoil, the pro-Yan faction was stabbed, and the rest are people who are not very good, Yan Suzhi must be cautious. Otherwise, this hard-earned good situation will be ruined, not to mention, the court may still be crooked, and the title that he has just received is afraid that he will fly.
It's unpleasant to think about such a picture.
Waiting for the messenger's effort, Yan Suzhi had already swept the letter paper, and saw that the handwriting looked like a mountain, but it was just like it. This character is very different from the previous Shanpu characters, not a change in the font, but also the temperament revealed in the word, which has become compact from the previous trace of elegance. Shanpu's original words were just neat, Yan Suzhi came, also in order to be good neighbors, gave him a few famous books brought over, and also pointed him out a little calligraphy, which was taught by Yan Suzhi with Shanpu's later calligraphy. At that time, Shanpu, one stroke at a time, was not such a temperament.
As soon as the messenger arrived, Yan Suzhi had already believed in him for seven points, if nothing else, because this person was Shanpu's nursing brother. Pingsu is inseparable from Shanpu, and if there is any important information, Shanpu has sent him to run errands. can be called Shanpu's henchman.
Yan Suzhi looked at this person carefully, he was much thinner than when he saw him a year ago, his eyes were a little bulging, his eyes were red, his waist was unconsciously straightened, and the whole person looked like a javelin. Yan Suzhi nodded, and said in his heart, this is true, they have gone through great tribulations, so they are naturally different.
After seeing the people, Yan Su said: "What Shanlang said in the letter is quite simple, what is it?" ”
The man who came shed tears and was about to speak, but the man who had run down the mountain two days ago had been helped in. This person endured a lot of hardships, suffered a heavy punishment, and fainted when he finished speaking, Lu Shen arranged for Lang Zhong to see him, and he was able to walk with him today. The two looked at each other carefully for a while, and then they recognized each other, hugged their heads and cried. One asked, "Is Ah Lang okay?" One said, "I have found you." ”
Crying was almost over, Yan Su ordered the two of them to sit down, drink some tea, and talk about the situation on the mountain.
The two testified against each other, and only then did they know what happened on Ludao Mountain-
It turned out that there was a lot of chaos on the mountain at that time. Originally, such a large-scale celebration was crowded with people, and it was not uncommon for stampedes, elopements, and brawls to occur. The rebels added to the chaos and set fires, and the chaos became even more chaotic. On the one hand, they harbored evil intentions and had prepared for it, and on the other hand, they were caught off guard and failed to prepare for effective resistance in time. Although the overall strength of the leader is stronger than that of the other party, it is also temporarily at a disadvantage.
What's worse is that they are going to the head. It must be explained here that the person who rushes straight to the head is not how clever the other party is, and he knows what "the thief captures the king first", but the customs. Kill you, and your slave and maid's property will be mine. This has nothing to do with the strategy at all, it is a simple and rude murder for money.
As soon as the head man dies, except for the diehards, the others can follow the new head man. Because of this turmoil, not many people died. Even so, the courtyard in front of the headman's mansion was soaked with blood.
Because of the chaos, Shanpu was able to escape. Speaking of which, their father and son can be regarded as organized, but the head man drank poisonous wine, Shanpu was young, and moved more than 1,000 cronies down the mountain. In the turmoil, Shanpu slashed the girl who was struggling to save her parents with a knife and ran away. Escorted by a small number of close guards, he fled into the mountains.
After Ah Wan woke up, she didn't cry or make trouble, so she asked Shanpu: "What should I do next?" ”
The relatives also have ideas, such as Shanpu has a good relationship with the people under the mountain. Yan Suzhi is also very friendly to Shanpu and can go down the mountain to ask for help. Even if Yan Suzhi is not there, Lu Shen and the others can keep their brothers and sisters safe. Wait until Yan Suzhi returns, and then borrow troops from him to take revenge.
The name of the man who made this suggestion was Silverring, and when his mother gave birth to him, she dreamed of a Silverring and took that name. His father was more than ten years older than the head man, and he was a domestic slave of the head family, and the head man grew up on his father's back since he was a child. The Touren's family is really not bad for their family, he is ten years older than Shanpu, he is a smart man, both smart and loyal, and his parents, as diehards, also died in the chaos.
I have to say that this opinion is quite correct. But Sanpu objected: "No! If we go down the mountain like this, we will be lost dogs. Even if you ask for help, you can't just go bare. This is our place, and the people under the mountain are not familiar with it! We are the only ones who can make a difference. If you don't do something, it's no fun to go down the mountain. ”
So the group lurked in the mountain forest. It was only then that Shanpu showed his other talents besides talking about going down the mountain for development, such as accurate vision. The so-called dark under the lamp is to hide in the most unlikely place for you.
They didn't go far at all! Just near this stockade, I waited until the other party went from crazy pursuit to no one in a hurry, and then became numb. finally found that when the other party's guard was lax, this time Shanpu really consciously did "capture the thief and capture the king first".
The first rebel was punished, and the clansmen and slaves waited for Shanhu to respond, and Shanpu became the new head. However, the matter is not over, he still has to reorganize the old department, and he has to rearrange the surrounding guards. But he had to send someone down the mountain to inform him first, and it was his nurse brother who was sent.
After hearing this, Yan Suzhi asked in the first sentence: "What happened to the rebels?" ”
The nurse brother replied simply: "Kill them all." ”
Yan Suzhi's face relaxed: "I've always been worried that Shanlang is too lenient, and he has the heart to kill, so I'm relieved." ”
Brother Milk wondered in his heart, and said secretly, don't you all do this? Kill someone's father and mother, how can you be lenient? If you don't obey, don't you have to be beaten? Even if you want to be kind, you have to be with someone who is not so hostile, right? Don't you kill and keep the waste of food?
Yan Suzhi said: "How is Shanlang now?" ”
The nurse brother said: "I feel bad, I have lost weight, but I am very fast." ”
Yan Su said: "You rest, I have a letter, you take it with Shanlang." ”
Ordered someone to take Shanpu's nursing brother and the person who had gone down the mountain to report the news down to rest, Yan Suzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "God help me!" ”
Ding Hao also laughed and groaned, Lu Shen also laughed and groaned, Jiang Yun still laughed and groaned, and in the middle of the perverts who laughed strangely together, Yan Yuanzhi, a normal person, felt very lonely!
And he doesn't understand! Don't say that someone's father is dead, leaving the hairy child ignorant, you can do whatever you want! This kid is obviously not a good stubble, not to mention holding so many tribes, the heart of being able to kill the rebellion first and then come over shows that he is not a soft egg who can only ask for help. Can you handle it? The opponent is weak, the opponent is strong, how are you going to take him for yourself?!
Yan Yuanzhi didn't understand, but Yan Suzhi thought it more thoroughly, if Shanpu was decadent because of this, or blamed all the mistakes on going down the mountain, or was frightened and stopped from moving forward, then Shanpu would be like this. Although he is a young man and has plasticity, Yan Suzhi also wants to say that he is "difficult to become a big tool". It's different now, Shanpu's first thought is self-reliance instead of crying and shouting for help, but he still has a little temperament. Then it can still be supported.
Yan Suzhi wants to take the mountain people for his own use, but with so many people, I am afraid it will still be difficult for him to take action by himself. If Shanpu can't do it, he can't say it, he has to do it hard, Shanpu can do it, and it's a good situation at present. Yan Suzhi is now confident, and he has not yet reached the point where he has to rob other people's families to use them, so naturally he will not give full play to the spirit of a single person to find a way to deceive a group of people who do not understand his language and have different customs to be junior brothers.
Shan Pu is willing to be his little brother, it's fine. Of course, maybe Shanpu wants another identity. This depends on Shanpu's performance below, if Shanpu can behave like this, Yan Suzhi will not say no categorically. Thinking about the emperor's baldness, Yan Suzhi felt that this troubled era was about to begin, if Shanpu had the ability to hold up a piece of the sky, who said that he couldn't be a son-in-law?
Not to mention, the customs of the mountain people Yan Suzhi are now knowledgeable. Only such a world can hold his daughter. Otherwise, I have to be a father no matter how fierce and fierce I am, and I can hold my daughter in charge of the in-laws, so that the in-laws don't dare to speak. Otherwise, even if you hold your husband, you can't get your in-laws, and if you press down a filial piety, you can suffocate people to death.
At this moment, Yan Suzhi was really a little tempted.
————————————————————————————————
Shan Pu didn't know that Yan Suzhi's defense line had been loosened, and at this time he was staring viciously at the humanoid object that was being lifted, his fists were loose and tight, tight and loose, and a pair of slightly sunken eyes were clear but still with a chill.
Carefully distinguished, the suspended humanoid object was indeed a person, but it had been drawn bloodied. The toes are half a foot off the ground, and the strength of the whole body is hung on the arms, which have been hung for a long time, and it is estimated that after two more days, these two arms will be useless. And Shanpu didn't seem to have any intention of letting him down.
The man was hung in the courtyard of the headman, and the floor of the yard had been cleaned, and there was not a single fallen leaf, but it was a rusty color. Two people died in a row, and the solid soil was soaked in endless fresh water, and I am afraid that it will not be able to wash away this color. Just wait, wait for time to digest all this slowly.
Right now, Shanpu's anger can't be dissolved by time.
There are internal contradictions, which can be fought over and distinguished, so why do you want to do it? It's just a matter of doing it, and it's even involved in foreign races!
Yes, foreigners.
In this vast mountain as far as the eye can see, the people who live are generally called mountain people. However, there are different tribes inside, and the Shanpu family is one of them. In the mountains to the south, there are ten or eight peoples, and their living habits are somewhat similar, and some are not. The people under the mountain are not very clear, so they are all called "mountain people". This time, it was the opposition of their own tribe who was worried that they would not be as powerful as the leader and would not be able to act, so they colluded with another tribe in the south.
The poison was obtained from the other party.
Shanpu really wanted to suck people to death like this (which was almost), but he still didn't have the urge (...... ), still spared a dog's life, and continued to torture.
Ah Wan wrapped a cloak and walked to Shanpu's side with red eyes: "Ah Lang, do you still ask?" ”
Shanpu looked back at her sister and saw that she was dressed tightly, so she said, "Ask, if you can ask a little, it's a little." ”
The voices of the two brothers and sisters were a little hoarse, anyway, at the beginning, there were a lot of clues.
The most embarrassing thing is to find the bodies of my parents.
The head man and his wife died violently, and they were originally going to be shown to the public. But Da Shujun thought it was inappropriate, he was the former leader, and Da Shujun really didn't think about civil strife, and he was also a person who was kidnapped by his position. Thanks to his efforts, the couple was hastily buried, and there were no coffins. The children and grandchildren of Dashu Jun Zhidao were also involved in this matter, and they hated the head man and his wife after they entered the ground, and they died of anger.
The two brothers and sisters came back and came back in time for a "beheading operation" at the funeral of Da Shujun, and then found the bodies of their parents. That crying was really sad for those who heard it. Unexpectedly, after crying, the two wiped their tears, and began to gather the old department to appease people's hearts, and easily arrest the rebellious remnants, torture conspiracies or something, and they can be regarded as skilled workers.
At this time, everyone realized that even if Shanpu usually learned softly from the people under the mountain, he still had wild blood in his bones. Even Ah Wan is no longer as naughty as she used to be. The brother and sister had a lot of discussions, and they actually controlled the situation.
Ah Wan looked south hatefully, and in the vast twilight, she could only vaguely distinguish the outline of the mountains. Shanpu hugged his sister's shoulder: "Don't think too much, go to sleep, it's late." ”
Ah Wan said: "Haven't you believed in the mountain?" ”
Shanpu looked at Ah Wan, who was somewhat influenced by the mountain, and the silk flowers on her sideburns had been picked. Yan Shenyou and Jiang's silk flowers were naturally checked, and they would not send white flowers to others. I didn't have to wear it at this time, and Ah Wan was not in the mood to wear it, so she tied her hair up indiscriminately.
Stretching out his hand to comb a lock of hair that fell out, Shanpu said: "The one who was sent down the mountain is going back, and it will have to wait until tomorrow." The mountain ordered, oh, it's the government now, and the government still doesn't know if he has come back, and there is no one to call the shots. Sending people down is just to greet them first. ”
Ah Wan said: "That Lu Langjun can't be the master? ”
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Shan Pu's mouth: "Do you think he can call the shots?" ”
Ah Wan said honestly: "I haven't met him, but I've heard that he has a lot of ideas." ”
Shan Pu said: "He has an idea, but he is not a person who can get an idea. I still have to wait for the prince to come back. ”
Ah Wan was a little puzzled, and Shanpu smiled: "Okay, depending on people's affairs, you can start learning now." When you see him later, you will know the truth. He has always only helped people come up with ideas, and it is difficult to do things on his own. If you don't have the ability, he won't give you ideas, if you have the ability, he is a good helper. ”
That's a wonderful statement.
Ah Wan thought for a while, clapped her hands, and said, "It's like a dodder seed?" ”
Shanpu said: "It's like dodder seeds." Some people just like to be a deputy to others. ”
Ah Wan smiled: "It's also interesting." ”
Shanpu said: "It's not interesting. He could not be the Lord, but let him reply as soon as possible. Tomorrow the messenger comes, and we will see you again. ”
Ah Wan said: "Ah Lang, you just need to rest more, you haven't slept well in the past few days." ”
"I know the truth, and the matter is almost over."
“? Isn't Daddy and Auntie's revenge avenged? ”
Shan Pu waved the horsewhip in his hand and put his arm around his sister's shoulder: "One day, but not today." These people are still scattered. Speaking of the back, the voice was already very low.
Ah Wan glanced at him: "It's not that you can't fight." ”
Shan Pu said: "No, you haven't seen the soldiers under the mountain. Moreover...... the idea that "Nima will mess with whoever gains power is really too deep-rooted!" Do you dare to be a little "loyal" and "righteous"? If you don't get too excited to resist, why don't you have some non-violence and non-cooperation?
He has also wronged his people, and there are still many slaves among the mountain people, who do they work with? They all have no human rights, so why should people fight for you? changed the owner, there was a lot of work to be done, and the food was not a little worse. The die-hard members of the Touren's family did not fight, on the contrary, many people died.
It's just that Shanpu has read books under the mountain for all these years, but he is very dissatisfied with this situation, and feels that he still needs to train his people and his slaves well. Of course, the slaves, he originally decided to give them some autonomy appropriately, about the same as the slaves and maids under the mountain. You have to let them have a little bit of leisure, a little bit of self-esteem, so that they can be instilled with thoughts in their heads.
On this day, until Awan fell asleep, Shanpu was still thinking deeply under the lamp.
————————————————————————————————
The next morning, Yan Suzhi sent someone up the mountain.
It was Yan Yuanzhi who came.
Before leaving, Yan Suzhi told him a thousand times: "You can't look at it as an ordinary barbarian." He also told his brother about the situation of the mountain people.
Yan Yuanzhi is a good brother who is very willing to listen to his brother, and after hearing this, he assured his second brother: "I will not disgrace my life." So he followed Shanpu's nurse brother and went up the mountain with some of his attendants.
When Shan Pu heard that it was Yan Suzhi's younger brother, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What did the prince do when he brought his brother?" Is it to be a helper? Is it a prefectural ordinance? ”
Ah Wanqi said: "How did Ah Lang know the Dao? ”
Shan Pu said: "If you don't make a county order, what else can you do for the younger brother of the prince?" The Fujun family is very powerful in their court, not to help his brother, and he is not used to convert to righteousness. ”
Shan Pu guessed that he was not happy, and when the milk brother introduced him, he said that this was really one of the new county magistrates. Looking at Yan Yuanzhi's appearance, he is only slightly similar to Yan Suzhi. The cinnabar mole between Yan Suzhi's eyebrows made his appearance a little gorgeous, but Yan Yuanzhi looked like a standard honest.
Yan Yuanzhi looked at Shanpu, and was also a little surprised, and said in his heart, is he so small, can he do it? But then he thought of the land in the yard that seemed to have been splashed with rusty water, and then thought of his niece, and then thought of Jiang Yun. He wasn't so sure.
The condolence activities went very smoothly, Yan Yuanzhi didn't understand the customs on the mountain, and grabbed Shanpu's nursing brother all the way to make up for it for a while, but he also remembered eight or nine and ten. At this time, it was also decent, and it was sent to Yan Su's rituals.
After the ceremony, the two places sat down to talk. Yan Yuanzhi said: "My brother was going to come up the mountain in person, but the matter down the mountain was too urgent, so he sent me here, and I hope Ah Lang will understand." ”
Shan Pu said: "The mind of the prince of the palace has been comprehended in my heart." The heart of the king, I have always understood. Originally, he was the king of Yamaga Mansion, but he encountered such a thing again. ”
The two asked and agreed, and both expressed their understanding to each other. Yan Yuanzhi explained to Shanpu again and again that his brother didn't want to come, he brought thousands of people under the mountain, and if one was not well settled, he had to mess up again.
Shan Pu's heart moved, leaned over slightly, and asked, "The prince of the palace has recruited people again?" ”
Yan Yuanzhi said: "It's all my own family." ”
Shan Pu sighed: "Fu Jun is a capable person. ”
Yan Yuan smiled, remembering that people were still in mourning, so he was busy and made a straight face, and said: "Ah Lang is young, he is already calm and moderate, and his future is limitless. ”
Shan Pu said in a low voice: "Borrow Jun Jiyan." "From beginning to end, he never mentioned his father's hatred.
Yan Yuanzhi didn't have much friendship with him, he only felt that although this young man in a blue shirt was dressed in a novel and strange way, he was quite polite in his actions, giving people a sense of familiarity. This must have been studied and learned etiquette at the foot of the mountain. Yan Yuanzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness in his heart. This young man was also born well, his facial features are quite deep, three-dimensional, his eyebrows and eyes are full of warmth and perseverance, and sometimes a touch of pain flashes, which is the reason for the first death of his parents.
Yan Yuanzhi also judged people by their appearance, softened his voice, and appeased Shanpu well, but he actually forgot that there were still some humanoid objects hanging in the yard......
Yan Yuanzhi comforted Ah Wan on behalf of the Jiang family, and Ah Wan asked, "Is Sister Ah Shou back?" ”
Yan Yuanzhi said: "She stayed in Beijing to fulfill her filial piety." ”
Ah Wan is a little embarrassed.
Before leaving, Yan Yuan said: "Ah Lang has something, just say it to me, and I will say it to my brother when I go back." After a few days, my brother settled down the mountain, and he had to go up the mountain, just to solve his worries with Ah Lang. ”
Shan Pu said: "To the gentleman of the house, thank you for your concern." Now that the chaos has been decided, I am afraid that something is wrong, if the prince insists on coming, please bring more guards. ”
Yan Yuanzhi said: "Okay." He asked what else was needed.
Shan Pu said: "Please bring a message to the prince, the things agreed before, as long as we are still here, it will not be easy to say a word." Wangfujun also kept his promise. ”
Yan Yuanzhi didn't quite understand the allusion in the middle, but he also agreed to bring the words back.
Go back down the hill and tell you what happened. Yan Suzhi touched his chin and said, "I'll go up the mountain." ”
Ding asked word by word: "What is the agreement?" ”
Yan Su said: "They want to go down the mountain." ”
Ding said: "I'm afraid of a lot of people." ”
Yan Suzhi smiled and said, "Grant the field, naturalize." If he really has a heart, what if I turn him, a false captain, into a real one? "I haven't seen anyone yet, and I can't guarantee that I will be satisfied when I see him, and if I am satisfied, my daughter may not be willing to marry, but if I can't be a son-in-law, it's okay to accept him as a righteous son." ”
Yan Yuanzhi's eyes widened, as if his second brother had horns on his head! "What?"
Yan Su said: "Isn't this a common thing? Didn't the old man, when they raised up their armies, also be taken in as righteous sons? ”
Yan Yuanzhi thought for a while before remembering that the situation was chaotic at that time, Yan Qi and others joined the army, because the battle was more effective, they were appreciated by a leader who raised the army, and accepted him as a righteous son - such a righteous son received more than a hundred. It wasn't until Yan Qi had a relationship with the first emperor that he broke the line with that side.
In fact, there are still some places in Guiyi, or among the people, who do not follow the law. In accordance with the law, the same surname is not married, and different surnames are not raised. But among the people, some people do not have sons, and raise a child with a different surname to adopt as an adopted son or a righteous son, and then give the family business to others, and earn someone to send them to the end. This kind of thing happens all the time. Every year, kidnappers kidnap children, and in addition to selling them as slaves and maids, there is also a shortage of supply. As long as there is no clan, the clan does not investigate, and the government does not know the way and does not want to care, this matter will be confused - but the etiquette is still untenable.
If you are smarter, or less miserable, and you have a daughter at home, then you will be recruited to be a son-in-law. This is another case.
Yan Yuanzhi thought for a while and said, "I look at that kid, he looks like he has some ability." It's not humble or arrogant, it's not easy to underestimate. I am afraid that he will not recognize someone as a father. ”
Yan Suzhi's face froze: "Then I have to be his uncle." Okay, pack up, I'll go up the mountain in two days, and I'll leave everything here to you, so that I can settle down. I always feel that things on the mountain are not simple, and the strength of their family should not be so easy, and both adults are dead. ”
Yan Yuanzhi said: "Can't all three of them be here?" ”
Yan Su Zhidao: "Now you have to be busy with spring ploughing, who has the time to build a house for you?" Isn't that available? Then go first to the fort where I have built, right to the east. ”
Yan Suzhi was particularly bad, he confiscated two dock forts, one to Shanpu, and the other to Yan Shenyou, and now that his daughter is not at home, he wrote a letter to inform him, and on the other hand, he directly assigned this place to Jiang Yun, asking him to clean up and be the new righteous order, Xinyi's territory is in the west, and it was originally the stronghold of some local tyrants who have become a bit of climate and are known as "families". I'm sorry, Jiang Yun is the descendant of a real first-class family. Oh, and he's got a part with him. Not only famous, but also fists.
The eastern part is divided into Xinxiang County, which is under the management of Yan Yuan, taking into account the development of wasteland and salt fields.
The north is a place where the D can play, and it is a little more miserable here - there is no city. Ding didn't care, saying that it didn't matter if he squeezed with Yan Suzhi first, and when he was about to go to the countryside, he just ran a little more. Didn't Yan Suzhi run down like this when he was in charge of three counties before?
After each had his own belonging, Yan Suzhi dressed up, took the part, and went up the mountain in person. He wanted to see what it had become after the chaos of the mountains.
