Yang Er, who was lying on the bed, had some difficulty sleeping tonight, and the closer he got to Chengdu to see his fourth brother, he couldn't sleep. In his mind, he still retains the memory of studying and playing with his fourth brother when he was a child, and the delicate cheeks of the fourth brother often appear in front of him. Do you really watch your 14-year-old brother die? Yang Er was never able to fully convince himself. What will be the news that Zheng Xu will come back from the inquiry tomorrow? Could it be the news that the fourth brother and concubine were assassinated that night? I hope not!

"Husband, why haven't you slept yet?" Wang Dai was beside him and saw him tossing and turning without stopping, so he asked softly.

"Alas! As a husband, I have never been so entangled as I am today. ”

"Husband, don't worry, my little sister is in the car today, even if it is an auspicious day, the most recent auspicious days are ten days later, and it is not suitable to marry within ten days, and it is enough to rush to Chengdu Shu Wangfu from here for ten days." Out of the dust comforted Yang Er on the side.

"That's good, no matter what, it's better for the husband to see the fourth brother first."

As an important gateway to the north of Shu, Zitong has always maintained close ties with Chengdu, the capital of Shu. Often, what happened in Chengdu would be reported to Zitong City a few days later, including the strife within the court and the disputes between the nobles of the family. Every time the Zheng family caravan went to an important town, Zheng Xu needed to go to the government as the shopkeeper to visit the local administrator. Because the Zheng family is powerful and exists as a royal caravan of the current dynasty, this makes the local officials of the large and small towns they pass through dare not embarrass and despise the Zheng family caravan.

And today to visit the Zitong Mansion is the young shopkeeper of the Zheng family, Zheng Xu, who originally had the official status of the Ministry of Commerce, which is already greater than the county guard of the Zitong Mansion. Therefore, for Zheng Xu's arrival, the county guard of Zitong gave a high degree of reception, and answered all the things that happened in the national capital Chengdu recently at his request. In the end, when Zheng Xu felt that the purpose of the visit had been achieved, he had nothing to say, so he gave a hundred taels of silver to the Zitong County Guard as usual and withdrew from the government.

"Childe, when the lower official came back from the government, he has already found out all kinds of things that happened in Chengdu."

"Shopkeeper Zheng, there is no need to say anything else, just talk about things related to the King of Shu."

"Yes, Childe. The lower officials have found out that Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, will marry the daughter of the general Rui Danian as a partial concubine on the tenth day of the next month, and the concubine of the king of Shu has been sent to the state capitals in Shu. At that time, the state capital and county guards will go to Chengdu to congratulate. ”

"Oh? And so it was! The news that Zheng Xu brought back really confirmed Zhuge Liang's words in the dream, which made Yang Er a little surprised.

"Childe, there is nothing wrong with the concubines of the King of Shu in the state capitals and counties in Shuzhong, but it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the nobles of the Shuzhong family, especially the large families in Shuzhong. It is said that the daughter of Rui Danian originally had a marriage contract with the criminal family, and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, saw the beauty of Rui Danian's daughter, so he made a stumbling block from it, and forcibly demolished the marriage of the two families, and the criminal family was forced to retreat due to the power of the king of Shu, and the criminal family was humiliated, and it also caused the wealthy families in Shu to be dissatisfied with the behavior of the king of Shu, making the situation in Chengdu unstable. ”

"Hmmm! These sons already know. There are still 15 days from today to the tenth day of the first month of next month, and it is just too late to catch up with my brother's good deeds in Chengdu. Shopkeeper Zheng can go down and prepare to go to Guanghan early tomorrow morning, and must reach Chengdu within 10 days. ”

"Yes, Childe, the next official will arrange the itinerary." After saying that, Zheng Xu arched his hand, then turned around and walked out of Yang Er's room.

Seeing Zheng Xu go out, Yang Er sighed lightly and sat down. He was thinking that the 15 days that decided the fate of Shuzhong, all of this had already been arranged in the dark, although he did not deliberately rush to Chengdu, but the final result God still gave him just enough time to Chengdu, it seems that in the matter of his brother's life and death, God wants him Yang Er to make his own choice. And this choice really made Yang Er in a dilemma. Yang Xiu's death undoubtedly moved the stumbling block to let Chai Shao take over Shuzhong, but the family affection made Yang Er hesitate about it.

"Alas~ It's better to rush to Chengdu first! If the fourth brother is willing to listen to me and implement a new policy in Shuzhong, I will save his life; If he resists again, refuses to implement the new policy, and refuses to garrison troops in Shuzhong, then the only way is to let him disappear. Sister Chuchen is right, this was originally his fate, no wonder he was ruthless for his brother. Yang Er thought, this is also his last attitude.

After several days of hurrying, Yang Er and his entourage had already passed Guanghan County and were speeding towards Chengdu.

After Guanghan, you will officially enter the vast Chengdu Plain, and the scenery here is different. The fields on both sides of the official road are full of farmers harvesting autumn grain and planting winter wheat, which seems to be a prosperous scene, but if you look closely, you can see that the people who cultivate the crops are like walking corpses, and there is no joy on their faces.

"Childe, this Shuzhong Plain is fertile for thousands of miles, from the open space after the harvest, this year in Shuzhong is a bumper harvest year!" Chai Shao whispered outside the car window to Yang Er, who was observing the people cultivating in the fields.

"The land in Shuzhong is extremely fertile, and you only need to sow seeds, and you don't need to do too much to harvest. It's just a pity that this rich land is not owned by the people in the fields, even if they work hard, the little food they get in the end is only enough to feed and wear, which is the difference between the new system and the old system. ”

"Hmmm! And so it is. Most of the fields are taken by the nobles of the family as their own, and even if the grain in the barn rots, it will not fall into the hands of these field tenant farmers, how unfair it is to them! Chai Shao was also a little indignant about this. Chai Shao, who was born in a small family in Fenyang County, Jinzhong, is well aware of the greed of the Shi clan landlords for grain. But all the clans in the world are like this, although he is not used to seeing it, but there is nothing he can do.

"Sichang, look at the women and children in this field, all of them are skinny and skinny, and the children are all with vegetables, which shows the difficulty of the people's lives. Alas! This is still a place rich in plains, and the life of the people in the surrounding mountains and forests can be imagined! ”

"Yes! Childe didn't say it, Shao didn't realize it. Under a closer look, they are really skinny and weak, which is completely different from the people of Hedong. Chai Shao couldn't help but admire Yang Er's eyes.

"Master, hurry up to Chengdu, let this Shuzhong implement the new land system as soon as possible! The people here are like beggars guarding the edge of the cornucopia. Xiao Li Shimin listened to the conversation between the two brothers, and also got some insights, and couldn't help but interject.

"Huh! Shimin said it well. Isn't the teacher coming for the new deal in Shuzhong? I was entangled by your kid all the way, and I can't even touch your sister's hand! ”

"Hehehehe---" As soon as Yang Er's words came out, everyone inside and outside the car laughed. Wang Dai's cheeks instantly blushed, and a small hand pinched Yang Er's back.

"Master, I haven't talked about the new chapter of the Three Kingdoms for a long time, and I still stay in the section of Zhang Fei's whipping and supervising the post, can I continue to talk about the following today? The disciple promised not to interject and ask more. ”

"No, the master has something in his heart, his mood is unstable, and his mood is not good, so let's talk about it on the way back after solving the new deal in Shuzhong!"

"Shimin, just read the book! Don't bother your master. Chai Shao said to Li Shimin in the car with a wrenched face.

"Yes, brother-in-law. The people of the world will not speak again. Li Shimin usually listens to his brother-in-law Chai Shao's words the most, and when he sees his brother-in-law speak, he has to listen.

Yang Er and his entourage continued to walk forward. The merchants and people who came and went on the official road only regarded him as a convoy going to Chengdu to do business, and did not attract the slightest attention.

Jinji Mountain Torture Manor in the northern suburbs of Chengdu.

The land and acres in Chengdu of Shu are all controlled by the four major families of Shuzhong, Gu, Chen and Xing. The personnel of the Shuzhong government have never been offended, but as long as the official government is not too excessive, these four families are also willing to bow down and obey, and they have reached the point of asking for food and giving money. Several generations of Shu kings in Chengdu did not want to offend these four families, on the contrary, when appointing officials from all over the world, they also took care of the outstanding people among the heirs of these four families as much as possible. But the basis of all this superficial harmony is that the government cannot tamper with the fundamental interests of these four noble clans.

Yang Xiuxin, the king of Shu, arrived in Chengdu for three years, and also treated the four families of Shu according to the old system, with the support of these four families, not only successfully survived the year of the great drought that had not been encountered for a thousand years, but also always maintained a temporary peace in Shu. Until half a month ago, when Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, wanted to force Rui Lianniang, the daughter of Rui Danian, to be a concubine, he made Xing Shouyi, the head of the criminal family, resentful of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and his only son Xing Dingguo contacted the nephews of the other three families, and wanted to organize family soldiers to fight against Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and force him to release Rui Lianniang.

The King of Shu forcibly robbed and forcibly accepted the fiancée of the State of Punishment, which had a great impact on the four major families, especially among the generation of the State of Punishment, which aroused public indignation, and everyone was upset about the State of Punishment, and some radicals even encouraged the State of Law to raise troops to attack the palace of the King of Shu. This movement also alarmed the four heads of the family, forcing them to meet at the Xingjia Manor to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the King of Shu bullied me into a small family, and snatched my son's unmarried wife away. Na Rui Danian became the general of Shu in vain, but he acted as a tiger, attached himself to the king of Shu, broke the contract and broke the oath, and sent his daughter to the palace of the king of Shu. This is deceiving me, there is no one in the Shu family! The old man has been inseparable from him since today. Xing Shouyi patted the table and said to the three heads of the families present.

"In-laws, now the King of Shu is bullying you is bullying my family, and he doesn't take my Shuzhong family in his eyes. The day before yesterday, he had no choice but to accept the joint refusal of our family to implement the new land policy of the imperial court in Shuzhong and the imperial court garrison in Shuzhong, so he was guilty of the Sui Emperor, and he was the unmarried wife of the nephew who was dissatisfied with the forced acceptance of the country, which is to beat you and me. But to completely rebel against the court of the King of Shu on this ground seems to be making a big fuss. After all, Rui Danian, the general of the King of Shu, is not our Shu sergeant clan, and it is not surprising that he has different intentions with us. In-laws, it is better to find another daughter as a daughter-in-law for Dingguoxian's nephew among my families, and take this matter lightly. "There is the head of the Kuang family, the head of the Shu family, Yu Tang, said. What he meant was that if a girl fell out with the King of Shu because of a woman, there was no need, and if you wanted to take revenge, it would be better to find another opportunity.

"Brother is bad! If you don't say a word after being bullied by this, the King of Shu will look down on us in the future, and think of a strategy to let His Royal Highness the King of Shu know that we are powerful in the middle of the Shu family. Gu Xianhe, the head of the Gu family, a wealthy man in the south of the city, said. The Gu family in Shu not only occupies most of the land in the south of the city, but also has shops in the city, operating the largest rice shops and salt shops in the city, and is the largest local tyrant in Shu. According to what he meant, it was necessary to make an appropriate counterattack in order to demonstrate the power of the family and make Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, restrained himself in front of the family.

"What does Old Man Chen mean?" The head of the family asked Chen Zhan, the head of the Ximen Chen family, who was also a wealthy family, this Chen Zhan was known for his resourcefulness and was an insidious person who never suffered losses.

"Humph! The women of my Shuzhong family dare to move, how can they bear it? But as the staff said, if you turn your face with Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, for a woman, it is not worth it. But what Lao Gu said is also good, and we can't do without a little expression on behalf of the family. Chen has a plan, I don't know if to talk about it? ”

"Old man Chen, if you have something to say, please say it to your face, if you can get out of this anger for my criminal family, I will give you 10,000 stones of new rice." Xing Shouyi said angrily.

"Huh! Chen's plan is on top of this grain, what do you think? ”

"Chen Yuanwai is saying that the new rice just laid?"

"Yes! The new grain laid in Shuzhong this autumn is all in the hands of you and me, and the king of Shu needs the grain we are waiting for to raise his troops, so we will unify the rhetoric, just say that the new grain is not in receipt this year, and the public grain handed over to the king of Shu will be halved and handed over, or not paid, so that Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, don't think about it this year, what do you think of this plan? ”

"Good! If His Royal Highness the King of Shu doesn't give me an explanation for the criminal family in the north of the city, my criminal family will not pay a single grain to see what he can do to my criminal family? It's a big deal that the fish is dead and the net is broken, and I will push a new king in a few more houses. ”

"Although the plan is good, I am afraid it is difficult to convince me and other nephews, he and others are friendly with Dingguoxian's nephews, and they all believe that they have martial arts, so they are afraid that they will make trouble for a while." Chengnan Gu Xianhe said worriedly.

"Alas! Speaking of which, my youngest son was provoked by Yuying, the daughter of his in-laws, to take revenge on his uncle Dingguo, and the two of them often discussed revenge together in the past few days. In-laws, you still have to come forward to take care of it, don't make a big deal. Chengdong Yutang said to Xing Shouyi. His second son had a marriage contract with Xing Yuying, the daughter of Xing Shouyi, and he was afraid that his son would cause trouble for his son Xing Dingguo.

"Since we are waiting for the plan to punish the king of Shu with grain, the punishment will restrain my son to set the country, so as not to cause him to have an accident, which will not end well." Xing Shouyi agreed to her in-laws' request.

The four of them then discussed the matter of delaying and halving the matter of handing over the official business again, and after feeling quite sure, they left separately. For the Shuzhong family, it is necessary to survive in a group, otherwise there will be a situation of losing both, which is not good for everyone, and this time a consensus was quickly reached on the revenge of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu.

But even so, it doesn't seem to have calmed the anger of the loss of his fiancée. What he wants is that he must take Rui Lianniang back and stop the King of Shu from taking a concubine. None of these options are acceptable. But he couldn't help but listen to the words of several Shibo, so he had to disband the family soldiers he organized, and dispelled the idea of taking his wife by force, but the depression in his chest could not be dispersed, and his hatred for Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, became stronger with the approach of the announced time of taking a concubine.

Yang Xiu of the Shu Palace, however, had no idea about the joint revenge of the Shuzhong family, and he didn't know that the criminal country that had taken his wife by himself had become a lion eager for revenge, just waiting for an opportunity to come.
