Hongshi County Ya

Throwing the aftermath to Fang Rui, Yan Kui took Guangshan and other guards to visit the county government that had been abandoned for a long time.

When the Cheng brothers rebelled before, they rushed into the county government and killed the county order and a number of officials, but they did not set up the so-called general's mansion in the county office, and the rest of the Cheng brothers did not dare to clean up and repair the county government.

As a result, now, when Yan Kui looks at it, not to mention the wild grass, there are still blood stains left over from the fierce battle in the courtyard of the room.

Of course, today's strength, the bloodstains have long since dried up and turned black, but looking at the large area of black blood, Yan Kui and the others can also faintly feel the tragic death of the county officials that day.

The joy of victory was slightly restrained, Yan Kui looked at Fu Qing and the others who were guiding them, and asked.

"Is there a survivor in the official's family?"

Fu Qing and the other three family heads replied with some embarrassment: "The Cheng family started too quickly, Lord Zhou and others didn't notice it for a while, and they all died in the country, as for the small family...... It was also ...... by the Cheng family."

The words were stumbling, but Yan Kui understood the meaning, the Cheng family was ruthless, and there was not a single living mouth.

Yan Kui's eyes showed coldness, the Hongshi County Commander killed by the Cheng family, that is, the Lord Zhou in Fu Qing's mouth, was newly sent from the Northern Jin Dynasty, only thirty years old, and was born in the same Jinshi, which can be regarded as promising.

Now that he himself has been skinned and cramped by the Cheng family, and even the children of the family have been killed, even if all the Cheng family brothers are slaughtered, the court will lose face.

…………

Looking at Yan Kui, whose face was a little ugly, the four masters served carefully, but their hearts were full of helplessness.

The Cheng family brothers had just raised the flag and raised the army at that time, shouting to kill the official and sacrifice the flag, at that time, the Cheng family was powerful, and they themselves could not be protected, how could they dare to speak out to stop it.

Fortunately, Yan Kui was also reasonable, and did not record the matter on the heads of the four families of Ji Fu Cheng Dai, and ordered people to clean up the mess in the county, and led people to prepare to go out of the city and return to the camp, but were stopped by the heads of the four families.

"Governor, we have prepared a banquet to celebrate, please the governor and the generals must appreciate their faces."

Yan Kui stopped, his eyes turned around the four masters, and finally stopped at Fu Qing's body, and smiled meaningfully. ”

"There is no need for a banquet, the army will leave Hongshi in a few days, if you have the heart, it is better to carry some vegetables and grains, kill dozens of fat pigs and sheep, send them to the camp, and treat the soldiers.

The soldiers ate and drank well, and it was more pleasant than you invited the governor of Pontus ten times to a banquet. ”

"The governor really loves soldiers like a son, and we will definitely do it."

Yan Kui said so, and the four masters didn't dare to ask for it, praised a few words, sent Yan Kui away, and went back to kill pigs and sheep to reward the Jin army sergeant.

Only Fu Qing, thinking of Yan Kui's smile when he was leaving, his heart moved slightly, but his face was silent.

…………

That night, when Fu Qing and the three family masters brought the meat and vegetables to the camp, two large mahogany boxes were also quietly moved to Yan Kui's sleeping tent.

Monk Guangshan reported with a smile on his face: "Ji Fu Cheng Dai and the four families quietly let people send it in, saying that it is your filial piety." ”

Yan Kui didn't say anything, he stepped in front of the two big mahogany boxes, and with a slight force of his right hand, he pinched off the copper locks on them, and opened the lids of the two boxes, which were full of silver ingots.

Yan Kui has made a fortune in the past few years, and glanced at the size of the box, and probably counted the amount of silver in his heart.

There are almost more than 10,000 taels in two boxes.

Closing the cover, Yan Kui didn't make an expression on his face, but turned his head and asked Guangshan: "Except for me, do the rest of the people have any?" ”

Guangshan nodded: "General Fang and the commanders of each battalion have filial piety, even their subordinates have a little sweetness." ”

Saying something, he took out something that looked like a silver ticket from his arms and wanted to hand it to Yan Kui, but Yan Kui kicked him and scolded with a smile.

"Take it for you, and give it to me, and I still have a little bit of your silver."

Guangshan smiled, and put the silver ticket back into his arms, this fat monk has followed Yan Kui for a few years, except for not breaking the color precepts, other Buddhist precepts have been broken all over again, causing others to say that he is a flower monk.

Guangshan was not angry, and he didn't argue with a smile, but only Yan Kui knew privately that Guangshan received all this money, except for keeping a little to buy wine and meat to eat, most of the rest was saved by him.

It is said that there will be an opportunity in the future to find a good temple and donate a golden Buddha to atone for sins in front of the Buddha.

Yan Kui doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but he won't stop his subordinates from these things, not to mention that Guangshan was originally a disciple of Buddhism, so Yan Kui didn't see Guangshan's thing.

Of course, the premise is that Guangshan can't rely on his identity as a confidant to blackmail others, that's another two.

Fortunately, Guangshan is good at things, and there is a lot of money that should be taken, and nothing is collected for things that should not be touched, which makes Yan Kui very worry-free.

…………

Called the guards to carry down the two boxes of silver and put them away, Yan Kui, who was in a good mood, returned to his seat and drank tea quietly.

As a result, Yan Kui, who was eating meat, looked calm, but followed Guangshan, who drank some soup, and came up with some uneasiness.

"Governor, my subordinates have quietly calculated, with your ten thousand taels, the four families of Hongshi have paid a total of no less than thirty thousand taels of silver, is it a bit excessive."

Yan Kui glanced at Guangshan with a smile: "What's the matter, I can't bear it?" ”

"The subordinates are afraid that this group of people will have a secret hatred, and then there will be a turmoil, in case the matter is big, the court will investigate, and the governor will be affected."

"No, it won't."

Yan Kui shook his head: "It's too late for these four families to snicker, how can they have a secret hatred." ”

Then, seeing that Guangshan looked puzzled, Yan Kui couldn't help but explain to him gently.

Although Ji Fucheng and Dai Sijia have now sent a lot of silver to Yan Kui and others, it seems that they have been ruthless, but don't forget that the Cheng family brothers who pressed on the heads of the four families died, and they were killed by their own hands.

In order to recruit troops and buy horses, the Cheng family brothers scattered a lot of surplus wealth, but they still left a lot of real estate, and Yan Kui couldn't take these things, so they naturally cheapened the four major families.

What's more, as soon as the Cheng brothers died, the largest source of wealth for redstone, the mountains rich in redstone, were all four major families.

Even if the county order may regulate the Red Rock Mountains in the future, but in the case of the rebellion of the Cheng family, the county government will definitely not dare to do the matter, as long as the four major families can get their hands on this matter, the tens of thousands of taels of silver will not be spent.

Guangshan nodded again and again when he heard this, with a look of sudden realization, Yan Kui smiled, but he didn't say the last reason.

That is, although the four major families were coerced by the Cheng brothers and forced to rebel, they did indeed join the rebels.

Their little strength, even the Cheng family brothers have to use tricks, if Yan Kui wants to move them, under the siege of the army, who of the four major families can resist?

It's just that Yan Kui is worried that he is too immoral in doing this, and he will damage his reputation, not to mention, I am afraid that he will give a bad example to the other two rebels.

After all, if someone in the other two rebels also moved similar thoughts of the four major families, but when they saw Yan Kui, they would not reward and punish them, and they would kill on a large scale, and they would suppress any thoughts, but they would try their best to help the rebels, in case they would end up like this in the future.

So for this reason alone, Yan Kui has to keep the four major families, and he must also be appeased, promoted and reused, and give a bright dawn to the people who are willing to lead him and the party.

Yan Kui's thoughts, no matter how much the four major families understood, but they came up to give a sufficient amount of filial piety, which made Yan Kui feel a little satisfied.

As for the rest, it depends on whether the four major families have smart people............

…………

Yan Kui was thinking about it here, and the guards outside the tent came to report: "Fu Qing, the head of the Fu family, came to ask for a meeting." ”

Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, smart people came!

Yan Kui's eyes lit up, and he asked people to invite Fu Qing in.

I saw the guards leading Fu Qing, who was dressed in white, into the tent, and when he saw Yan Kui sitting on the top, Fu Qing quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"The grass people are clear, meet the governor."

Yan Kui let Fu Qing get up, and then asked with interest: "I heard that you proposed the plan to kill the Cheng family's brothers?" I see that you are still young, and you do have some means. ”

Fu Qing's attitude was very modest, and he replied in a low voice: "The Cheng family brothers don't know the destiny of heaven, and they are trying to resist the king master, and now they are dead, but they are really to blame.

I believe that even if there is no such thing, with the general's divine might, it will not take long for the Cheng brothers to bow down, and now that we are waiting for the success, we are just grabbing a first move, this is a treacherous path, and I can't get into the eyes of the general. ”

"Hahaha!"

Yan Kui laughed loudly and pointed at Fu Qing: "What a sharp mouth, Pontus really likes you now." ”

As soon as Yan Kui's words came out, Fu Qing's mind suddenly blessed his heart, and he immediately fell to his knees.

"The grass people have admired the governor for a long time, and today I can see it, and I feel the five inside, and the heart of the sunflower weed, if you don't dislike it, the grass people are willing to serve under the governor, and they are willing to be a pawn."

Yan Kui didn't expect Fu Qing to be so good, he was very happy in his heart, but he was a little hesitant on his face, and he pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Since you have the heart to serve, the governor of Pontus is not good at brushing your fist, it's just that, I heard that you have been raised in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it just so happens that there is a lack of counselors in our army, so you can come."

The rank is tentatively set at eight grades, and you will rise again after making meritorious contributions, are you willing? ”

"The governor is very gracious, and Fu Qing dares not to serve the governor of the capital."

Fu Qingbai fell to the ground, not disliking the low-ranking officials at all, but instead doing grateful, and expressing his loyalty quite sufficiently.

Yan Kui gently encouraged him again before letting Fu Qing leave.

When Fu Qing left the camp with a grateful face, Yan Kui said to Guangshan next to him with some emotion.

"This person has a sophisticated and smooth personality, but he is also clever, thoughtful and spicy, and can be useful."

"The Governor has taken a fancy to him?" Hirosun asked.

Yan Kui nodded: "I have a lot of generals, but there are not many literati with ability, except for Zijun, the rest are mediocre."

Today's Fuqing Fu Yutao, I think he is a good seedling, and he will be cultivated in the future, and he may be able to become a talent of the humerus. ”

Guangshan was a little unaccustomed to Fu Qing's good-sounding mouth, but his stomach was full of calculations, so he couldn't help but say.

"I see that this guy has a lot of ghost ideas in his heart, and he has to be guarded against."

Yan Kui smiled absently and said confidently: "I have my own way to dominate him obediently."
