After coming to Handan, the capital of Zhao, Gongsun Xun always felt irritable for a reason.

First of all, whether it is from some strange arguments learned from Gongsun Auntie, or what Gongsun Xun saw with his own eyes, or feedback from Wang Xiu, there is a big problem with Zhao Guo or Handan in front of him...... At the very least, it is inevitable that a class contradiction will be prominent, not to mention a minister of state who has been in power for nearly two years but has done nothing.

And in this case, the power of King Zhao and Zhao Wangfu is virtualized, as well as the strange existence of Xiang Xu, and even Zhao Ping, who has Zhao Zhong as the backing, took the initiative to shrink his head, which directly caused Gongsun Xun to be unable to use a simple and effective means to quickly seize the core power of Zhao State!

Yes, there is just no simple and effective means, not that there is no way...... In fact, Gongsun Xun can start from the duties of Handan Ling, as Wang Xiu suggested, uphold the law and morality, and find out the people who steal power by severely cracking down on those who stand in the way and obstruct them;

Of course, he can also calm down, go to the countryside, go to the alleys, from the bottom up, and thoroughly sort out the context inside and outside Handan City, so that naturally there is no possibility that anything will continue to be hidden;

It's not even without other means, county officials, clans, and heroes...... If the power is not in the hands of King Zhao, the state minister, the state minister, and the eunuchs, it is impossible to escape from the palms of these people, right? So there is no need for anything else, just call everyone over at a banquet, and then as soon as the door closes, a new Amway big iron pot is set up in the middle, and whoever is will throw him down, and there is no need to Ding, I don't believe that this group of people dares to do more!

All kinds of methods, royal and domineering, all available.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Gongsun Xun found it difficult to accept was not that the situation was difficult, but that he easily destroyed Goguryeo...... Everyone should be subservient to him, and everything should be captured.

But then again, after so many years, thanks to Aunt Gongsun's dedication to education, coupled with the existence of some good teachers and friendly subordinates around, Gongsun Xun has stepped from a lightly plagiarized child of the border county to the current status of the purple ribbon gold seal, at least at the critical moment has never dropped the chain, whether it is to adhere to the correct position or to fight to the death, it is still convincing.

So, with Wang Xiu's admonition, this time Gongsun Xun finally calmed down and was ready to take a multi-pronged approach to clean up this Handan.

Sure enough, early the next morning, the newly appointed county magistrate of Handan County summoned the county officials of the entire Handan County, first sealed it in public, and gave an official document to a 'special county affairs' named Wang Xiu, so that he was fully responsible for receiving and inspecting the official affairs of Cao in the county. Then, the county gentleman kept saying that he was going to patrol the county, and he also asked the two Handan county lieutenants who were in charge of the county guards to prepare a chariot and horse honor guard, and then they were going to go out of the city directly.

You must know that this county gentleman is a rare pavilion marquis, and he must not be prepared according to the identity of the county order, so the county officials and buses in the county almost poured out, and even borrowed a lot of county officials, chariots and horses from the county, so that they could barely get together enough manpower and honor guards according to the etiquette system...... Then, head straight out of town!

Gongsun Xun did this, of course, with the intention of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and if the county guards and county lieutenants were brought out, then Wang Xiu would be able to reduce considerable resistance and avoid unnecessary bloodshed when he made a big move in the city.

Moreover, there is actually a feeling of treating others in the same way as others...... Didn't it mean that Xiang Xu was lying in bed, so that Gongsun Xun couldn't find a person in charge? Well, after two days, when a group of children from the border counties carrying knives and riding white horses will conduct a large-scale investigation of the county government, some people are afraid that they will not be able to find a place to reason.

Of course, back to the essence of the matter, in any case, it is only natural for a local governor to visit his own territory when he first arrives...... Inevitably!

The first stop after the chariot, Ma Xiaoxiao, and Gongsun Xun out of the city was the lush land in the south of Handan.

As I said before, Handan City and Yecheng dozens of miles away in the south together constitute the core metropolitan area of Hebei, this place within a radius of 100 miles, in addition to the two metropolises, there are several large counties such as Liangqi, Quliang, Yiyang, Guangping, Wu'an, etc., if you count small cities such as Pingyang City and Dirty City, it will be more prosperous...... It is really the essence of the entire Hebei region in this era.

And probably because of this, although Gongsun Xun's honor guard is grand, the farmers who weed in the fields, the girls who pick mulberries, and even the merchants and pedestrians on the road are all just curious, not frightened.

Gongsun Xun is also very satisfied with this, no one will dislike it in a vibrant place, not to mention that as a party chief, seeing the thriving appearance under his rule, it is naturally even more recognized.

However, after inspecting a pavilion on Nanmen Avenue and saying goodbye to the pavilion chief, Gongsun Xun suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, so he asked casually: "Yesterday, Zhao Ping had a quarrel with the Qin girl, and was hit by my subordinates, is it near the left?" ”

"Hui Yu County Jun." The pavilion chief who sent it out naturally knew about it. "It's on the east side of the country, next to that mulberry forest."

Gongsun Xun immediately bowed his head: "So, the Qin family, where the Qin family is located, also lives nearby?" ”

"Huiyu County Jun, it is the Fubeili who lives under the rule of this pavilion, which is named after the former Fuyang River before the diversion, located in the southeast of Handan City, has been a hundred years, that is, the Qin family has also been based in the southeast of Handan City for more than 100 years."

"In this case, anyway, I want to go to the township to take a look, so I might as well go to this north middle school to have a look." Gongsun Xun got into the car directly, but he decided on the next place quite casually.

Everyone naturally had nothing to say, and the pavilion chief even led a horse out, and personally guided the county monarch who scared Lang Zhongling as soon as he took office, and made some introductions according to his duties.

It turns out that the Qin family born by this Qin woman is barely a 'big family' in Handan, at least half of this Fubeili located in the southeast of Handan is inhabited by the Qin family, and the acres of land near the southeast of the city are mostly the Qin family's land.

Moreover, some people in his family are county officials, some are county officials, some of the young children are famous as rangers, and some people are quite familiar with poetry and books, and then there are two workshops in the clan, and there is also a tribe in Quliang County, Wei County in the east...... In this way, it is naturally one of the largest households under this pavilion.

Of course, this big household is only local, and if he does not serve as an official or official of the imperial court, it can be regarded as a third-rate at most in Handan City.

The frame came to Fubeili, and the Qin clan people who got the news hurriedly came out to greet them.

And what's interesting is that probably because of yesterday's incident, the Qin clan felt that the newly appointed 'Junhou County Order' was a person who spoke the law, so even if many of the people surnamed Qin had served as rank officials, it was only the chief and the inner supervisor who stood in front of the inner gate with a broom to greet him...... However, the lieutenant is still surnamed Qin.

Even, when everyone finished saluting in front of the inner gate, and then hurried to the township (the governor of the rich township, the head of the smaller township, just like the county order and the county magistrate), he actually came from Chen surnamed Qin.

"Since the township chiefs are all surnamed Qin, why isn't the pavilion chief surnamed Qin?" Gongsun Xun also found it interesting. "I remember that the pavilion chief said that his surname is Wang just now?"

"Returning to the county monarch," the local pavilion chief Wang certainly understood what the young county monarch meant, but he didn't dare to hide it. "The subordinate's wife's surname is Qin."

"That's it!"

Gongsun Xun raised his head and smiled, but he walked directly into the middle with his head held high.

Sure enough, after entering from the south-facing inner door, there are low earthen houses on the left-hand side, and occasionally you can see a few neat courtyards of several families; On the right-hand side, which is well lit, there are serious brick and wood buildings, not to mention the scattered buildings, and there are even multi-storey buildings in the middle of the wide portals.

Lu left and right, at a glance.

It was morning, and unlike the houses on the right, the households on the left were silent...... Considering the time of year, it seems that the men are weeding in the fields, and the women are picking mulberry leaves.

From the two county lieutenants to the local Qin family, no one knew what the temper of this young nobleman was, but what they saw yesterday, plus Gongsun Xun's background and resume were placed here, these people had to think about the decisive and fierce slaughter...... At this time, seeing that this county magistrate did not follow the rules, but just stood in the middle and looked around, he was also worried.

"County Jun," an older member of the Qin clan who had also been a county official stepped forward, and could only greet stubbornly. "The county gentleman patrols hard, it is better to sit in my Qin family's room, although there is no wide door and high lintel in our house, but it is also clean, and the three elders who are virtuous and the young man who knows the book will come immediately."

"Not necessarily."

Gongsun Xun said, but he directly pushed away a low earthen house on the left hand side and walked forward...... It may be that there is an inside door to cover the outside these days, or it may be that there is nothing valuable in the house, or it may be that there is no lock at all, so there is generally no obstacle here in the house.

Everyone looked at each other in the back, and even the two county lieutenants who came with were also nervous, but the gatehouse of this poor man's house was narrow, and a righteous servant of the county monarch's private family followed in, so the rest of the people were not able to surround it again.

"The family is surrounded by walls, and they can only get by." After leaning a little, Gongsun Xun came out with a dirty clay pot, glanced at the sunlight in the courtyard, and was helpless, but stuffed the clay pot to his attendants. "Put some money in there as a nuisance."

It was the deepest clay pot hidden under the bed in the room, and there was a piece of adobe pressed into it, but it turned out to be only a few handfuls of old corn.

Inside the inner gate, outside the earthen house, from the county lieutenant down to the Qin clan, where have these people seen this posture, seeing such a situation, they are only more and more frightened.

"The county gentleman has a sense of people's livelihood, and I think it is a teaching, and we are willing to listen to it." Helplessly, the old man of the Qin clan could only talk to him again.

"Where is the teaching?" Gongsun Xun immediately shook his head. "However, everyone happens to be surnamed Qin, and seeing that the difference between the left and the right is so clear, you can't help but feel sorry...... You say, why did the tyrannical Qin come to power that day, and the nobles of the six kingdoms of Shandong repeatedly rebelled, but in the end, it was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who raised their arms recklessly and ruined the Qin world? Lu Zuo Hao right, which is the pillar of the world? ”

Everyone behind him looked at each other.

It's not that these Qin clan leaders can't understand this, after all, there are many people here who have read books and worked as county officials, but that they can't understand the mind of this county monarch, and this question obviously refers to their own Qin clan, so they don't dare to answer easily...... I'm afraid that if one is not good, it will cause trouble.

However, since you asked, how can you avoid it? It's that others can hide, but the leading Qin clan can't.

So, the old man of the Qin clan, who had been a county official and understood the benefits, could only reluctantly kneel down and plead guilty: "Back to the county gentleman, although the Qin family is surnamed Lizhonghao, but there has been no act of remnants of the people, the township has always gotten along with each other morally, peacefully, and will never do anything to devour the township." ”

"And when you are a virtuous family," Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly, standing in the open space in front of the earthen house. "But after a long time, where can some things be morally managed? This township has a rank, a pavilion chief, and a mile long, all of whom are members of your clan, not to mention anything else, then it is considered to be a levy of servitude, litigation disputes, and a monopoly on Gu Yu, isn't it all the benefits to your Qin family, and all the disadvantages to Lu Zuo's other households? Over time, it is that your Qin clan has no intention of crippling the people, but the surrounding people will become more and more difficult because of you...... On the same day, Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao wrote to the Son of Heaven, saying that there are many vacancies in the three mutual laws and even the two states, which is the scholar's opinion, and some positions are rather lacking than being released at will; There are some laws, even if the state is becoming less and less supportive, but it must be adhered to. ”

"What does the county mean...... Why don't our Qin clan resign from the local township pavilion? "Then the Qin clan elder can only deal with it like this.

"Forget it." Gongsun Xun sighed with his hands in his hands, looking bored. "In the current situation, if you Qin clan don't be the chief of this township pavilion in the township, who can do it? Let these people do it, they are afraid that they can't even read words, they can't understand the laws and regulations, and the more proletarian people are, the more cunning and unsettled, maybe they will bully the people more rampantly. And if you let other wealthy families do it, how can it be compared to your century-old clan, know how to be cautious and leave room for it? ”

The people of the Qin clan breathed a sigh of relief...... In fact, where are they willing to hand over this so-called fighting and lowly position? After all, as the county magistrate said, these low-level officials held the power of the countryside to calculate and levy labor, litigation disputes, and monopoly sales, which was a necessary thing for the development and growth of the family and the maintenance of the situation.

For hundreds of years, Haoyou relied on holding these grassroots positions to gain a foothold in the local area, and then greatly annexed and expanded, which became a rule.

However, some of these people surnamed Qin were also young and vigorous, and while they were relieved, they couldn't help but feel resentful...... In their opinion, maybe these people unconsciously have the behavior of bullying the poor people in Luzuo, but don't the officials above oppress them, the big families in the township? Yesterday, didn't Na Lang Zhong order Zhao Ping to directly stop Luo Fu, who was regarded as a treasure in their clan, on Sang Mo, and prepare to accept it? Isn't this kind of behavior even more unbearable?!

In the final analysis, layer upon layer, who is cleaner than whom?

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was a marquis with a purple ribbon and gold seal, and it was also the county order of Handan County, otherwise, based on these words just now, he would definitely be beaten and thrown out.

"Speaking of which," Gongsun Xun also seemed to remember what happened before, so he looked at the tall building on the right side and said. "Yesterday, King Zhao suddenly had an invitation, but before the case was decided, did your Qin Luofu go home safely, but was he frightened?"

"The county magistrate of Domon enforces the law impartially." A middle-aged Qin man stepped forward and praised him with a smile. "The little girl is fine, and she is innocent and lively by nature, and she went to Moshang to pick mulberries with her sisters-in-law and sisters in the clan early in the morning."

"That's good." Gongsun Xun was finally reluctantly happy. "Don't worry, with me here in Handan for a day, it will never be the turn of people like Zhao Ping to be rampant......"

"Yes."

"Speaking of farming, how much can one acre of the best land in the south of the city produce?"

"Returning to the county, one acre produces three stones of millet, which is local common sense."

"Where's the lowly land?"

"It's also a three-stone ...... There is no cheap land in the south of the city. ”

"Why is that?"

"In the early years of this dynasty, Bai Gong was Zhao Xiang, and he repaired water conservancy and built ditches in the Fuyang River, which has been smooth so far. Therefore, from the south of Handan City to the junction of Wei County, the Fuyang River is all good fertile land, and the harvest is guaranteed by drought and flood...... According to what our Qin clan has recorded in this hundred years, unless it is labor, banditry, or plague, there is no difference. ”

"It's all such a beautiful field, so according to the method of benefiting from the end of this dynasty and consolidating the family, there should be a large number of big wealthy families gathered here, right?"

"As Ling Jun said." This old Qin clan saw that the county order began to be a little serious about 'asking about customs', so it was inevitable to let go of some of it. "In fact, in the past, although Handan was the ancient capital of Zhao State, it was only a place with mountains and rivers in the back, and it was a place of military prosperity, and it was connected to Yecheng, which became more and more prosperous, and even called the two capitals, but it started from Baigong...... The fields here are excellent, and Yecheng is the hub of Hebei to Henan, and over time, the rich and heroic families of Yecheng have gone to this place to buy real estate, and gradually Handan has prospered. ”

"The nobles claim to have been based for a hundred years, so they moved in a similar way, right?" Gongsun Xun suddenly interjected.

"The county gentleman is clear," the other party immediately admitted with a wry smile. "The tribes have been here for many years, and their roots are well known, and there is nothing to hide...... Our Qin clan was just a traveling merchant at the beginning, selling gifts back and forth to Yecheng, and after making a profit, we bought houses here and multiplied. However, it is precisely because of this that the rest of the local clans also look down on our Qin clan, that is, the Qin clan has been rooted for a hundred years, and it has always been difficult to produce a 600 stone court official, and it is already the limit to be the lord of the county. ”

"What about the merchants? I lost my father when I was a child, and it was my mother who raised me in business. "Gongsun Xun can only make a haha.

Is this the same thing? The people around couldn't help but smile bitterly, your clan was originally a border county giant clan with two thousand stones for generations, and it was your widowed mother who did this......

Gongsun Xun naturally understood the thoughts of these people, and sighed in his heart, but suddenly changed the topic: "In fact, there are no more than four kinds of origins in this world, one is a pre-Qin nobleman since ancient times; One is that the officials leave their posts and return to their hometowns or emigrate; One is to reclaim the land after the merchant Jia profits; The last one is the merger of the strongmen in the township...... Before I came to Zhao, I knew that Zhao had three clans such as Wei, Handan, and Li, and there were also four clans such as Wang, Zhang, Lu, and Shen who were quite well-known. ”

The old man of the Qin clan was stunned for a moment, and then replied to this extremely simple question, which was also a regular question during the inspection of the county magistrate:

"Returning to the county monarch, this is also simple, all the clans in the country, the Wei family is respected, and his family background is illustrious and he wants to come to the county monarch also knows. According to the county gentleman, then this Wei family should have one or two sources...... Their family was originally a descendant of the Wei royal family in Yanzhou, Henan, and later changed to economics and learning, and their ancestors served as a Wei county guard, and settled in Handan, north of Yecheng, after leaving office. ”

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, of course he knew the details of the Handan Wei clan. At present, its previous patriarch Zeng Guan to Jiuqing is Guanglu Xun, and there are two existing two thousand stones, one is the current patriarch Wei Qing, who has just served as Shangshu Servant (Shang Shuling Adjutant) in the court, and has added the rank of Shizhong; One is Wei Qing's younger brother Wei Song, who previously served as the prime minister of Lu, and now he is dismissed at home because of an incident, and actually dominates the affairs of the clan. And the two county officials said that last year, everyone publicly recommended Wei's Qilin'er as filial piety, referring to Wei Qing's son, and now he has entered the court to be a Lang official, which happens to be the same time as Gongsun Zhan.

As for the rest of the clans, it is said that they are as famous as his family, but in fact, they may not be as prominent as the Wei family. And this kind of thing, I met my senior brother Shen Yu in Bairen before, and Gongsun Xun had already inquired clearly.

"As for the Handan Clan and the Li Clan," the Qin Clan Elder continued to laugh. "It is the source of the first kind of standard, the Handan clan is named after Handan, which is the small sect of the Zhao family, and the Li clan of the Zhao State is the queen of Li Mu...... They are all indigenous giants who have been in the area for five or six hundred years. ”

Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly, but he didn't care very much...... As I said before, although the Handan clan and the Li clan are as famous as the Wei clan, they are only pulled out to make up the numbers because of their long history. And the gap between these two families is also very large, the population of the Handan clan is larger, and the entire Zhao country is distributed, and there has been a two thousand stones, and it is estimated that this generation can produce another one if they work hard; As for the Li family, the highest is actually only a Qianshi county order, and he can only rely on the name of his ancestor to straighten his waist.

Of course, this is also Gongsun Xun's eyes...... The Li family of Zhao State later lasted for a thousand years, and together with his teacher Lu Zhi's family and Wang Yun's family, they were called five surnames and seven wangs, but Wei and Handan disappeared in the long river of history.

Of course, that's later, and it doesn't necessarily come true.

"As for the four families of Wang, Zhang, Lu, and Shen," the Qin clan elder continued. "Neither the pre-Qin nobles, nor the officials of this dynasty who have stepped down, nor are they from small families like our Qin family...... Otherwise, how can we be one head above our Qin clan? ”

The rest of the Qin clan's faces turned white for a while, and the two county lieutenants were also pale and uncertain, not knowing what was going on, but Gongsun Xun was dumbfounded.

After laughing, Gongsun Xun didn't stay longer, just waved his hand and went out of the inner gate proudly, but he ordered the honor guard to be transferred to the northwest of Handan City, as if he had no idea of the rich land in the south and east of the city, and was ready to go to see the poorest and most miserable place in Handan County.

That's three days.

But Handan City is already in chaos.

"This is the home of Cao Peng Shenmeng, who is in the country, and Shenmeng is here?" Under the blue sky and white sun, a group of samurai riding white horses with swords and bows kicked through the inner gate with a hula, and then surrounded a courtyard in the city with towering buildings facing the street. "There is a clerk in the county who confessed, saying that he was instructed by you to change the money account book without authorization, and quickly follow us to the county to see the king to explain the matter!"

Shen Meng's family lives in the most prosperous area of Handan, so on a high-rise building on the opposite street, a large number of relevant people soon gathered, and then gathered into a group, condescendingly looking at the situation opposite, and talking about it, each panicking.

"It's over, even Shen Gongcao's family is going to be unlucky!"

"It's okay if the county officials catch Jingguang, after all, they belong to Handan County, and no one can say anything, but Shen Gongcao is a county official directly under the prime minister, and the Shen family is a big family in the country, how can he be arrested?"

"People can even kill Wang Fu and Duan Xi, and a country can be destroyed, how can you not dare to catch Cao Peng?!"

"But where is the reason to use the county to dominate the country?"

"The prime minister is safe?!"

"This kind of powerful person came to our Zhao Kingdom, but the prime minister of the country is like that, and we are also unlucky!"

"Didn't you say that the prime minister looked like that before?"

But soon, what made this group of people come to an abrupt end was that probably because Na Shenmeng was getting older, and his sons were a little arrogant, so they actually blocked the gate at this time, set up a fence, and directly resisted the inquiry, and even Na Shenmeng's third son took some young men in the family to climb up to the pavilion facing the street with bows and arrows to threaten.

This group of white horse warriors had no means to attack the fortifications, and they had to stalemate for a while.

The people on the street scattered far away, but they did not hide far, and although the people on the opposite floor were speechless, they all looked at this scene with a trace of excitement, and secretly hoped that these Shenmeng's sons would be able to stop the demonic wind in Handan County......

It is said that three days ago, the new Handan Linggong Sun Xun took away the two county lieutenants in the county, as well as most of the county guards, and then drilled into the hilly area in the northwest of the county, and disappeared without a trace. And the king who got the county order documents and took over the affairs of the county was meticulous, from prison to litigation, from calculation to forced labor, from promotion to dethronement, he was stunned to filter all things in the county seriously.

To tell the truth, everything in the world is afraid of being serious, let alone the already messy and broken things?

As a result, the county officials in Handan County were completely unlucky, facing the account books and files full of loopholes, and almost none of the current Cao chiefs and deputy histories got out, and they were all caught by this group of border county warriors from secluded backgrounds, and then simply thrown into the county prison. At that time, bad words came out, saying that the barbarians of the border counties did not give Zhao Guoren a way to live or something...... And now, it is not enough to rectify the county, and it is actually going along the vine and starting to connect with the plants outside the county.

How can this not panic the various clans and county officials inside and outside Handan?

And the interesting thing is that in addition to the panic, those strange words are not heard.

"Then the king is here." With a shout from someone I don't know, I saw a group of white horses galloping from the street in the distance, and the person who was surrounded was the most well-known Wang Xiu Wang Shuzhi in the city recently, and his appearance also made the people on both sides of the street nervous or excited.

"Can Shen Gongcao be at home?" Wang Xiu got off the horse directly on the street, and then asked loudly.

"My father is right at home, but he will not go with you!" Shen Zhi, the third son of the Shen family, who was standing upstairs on the street with a bow and arrow, showed his head and scolded loudly. "If you want to enter my house, you have to kill our brother first!"

"Exclusive to the king!" Another person poked his head out, and it was Shen Jing, the second son of the Shen family. "It's not that we maliciously resist the law, but the county is different, my father is a prominent official in the county, and he is in the position of Gongcao, if the case in your county implicates my father, please also ask the county to submit documents to the minister of state, and the minister of state has an official document, we naturally have nothing to say."

"King's Exclusive." As the two of them shrank back into the attic, another person, that is, Shen Ning, the son of the Shen family, also appeared upstairs on the street, only to see him slightly bowed downstairs. "Wang Zhi, it's not that we want to go against Wu Hou, we also know Wu Hou's deeds and reputation, it's just that my father is over sixty years old, and almost all the people Wang Du has invited these days have been sent to the county prison...... How can a man who is a son of man sit back and watch his father go to prison? Besides, you're just a person who doesn't worry about the county affairs, so arrogant, is it really what you mean by worrying about yourself? It's better to wait until the county returns without worry, and then decide on this matter. ”

"The three sons of the Shen family also have their own gains." Upstairs opposite, someone couldn't help but sigh. "The third son has courage, the second son has the law, and the eldest son has filial piety...... It seems that the Shen family is going to prosper! ”

The people around also said yes, and then stared at the 'Wang Zhi' on the street who had been quietly waiting for the Shen brothers to finish speaking.

"All three have a point." Wang Xiu folded his hands and stood downstairs and replied. "It's just that I am entrusted by my family to be the exclusive county government, if I wait for him to come back, but I don't have a head and end, I'm afraid I can't explain it. Na Xian Kunzhong thinks this is good...... Since Ling Zun is old, there is no need to go to the county temple to testify with the county Hucao, I will personally enter your home to ask a few words, and see if he still remembers these old things, what do you think? ”

Convinced!

I don't know how many people on the upper floors on both sides of the long street were surprised inexplicably, and they breathed a sigh of relief by the way.

And upstairs in the Shen family, after arguing a few words, it was also the eldest son Shen Ning who poked his head out and bowed with a dry smile: "The king is willing to come to our house as a guest, how can our brothers not treat each other politely?" It's just that most of these careless righteous servants outside the door are fierce people in the border counties, and their fathers are old and weak......"

"How many of you brothers are there?" Wang Xiu suddenly smiled and looked up and asked.

"Uh, three......"

"I only brought three people in to inquire about it, and the rest of the people left the back door and waited in the street...... How? ”

"So...... Excellent! Shen Ning upstairs thought for a moment, and then looked at the upstairs in his courtyard full of guests and apprentices, and he was also relieved.

"That's it!"

"Now it's good!"

"The brothers of the Shen family are really brave, resourceful, polite and courteous, and in the future, this Zhao country will definitely have a place for their brothers to go!"

The county officials and the children of the big families on the opposite floor also celebrated one after another at this time, and at the same time secretly praised the Shen brothers in their hearts.

And sure enough, the king below also did what he said, and a group of white horses withdrew from the inner door in a stupid manner, and then only three people followed Wang Xiu to the front of the Shen family.

"Remove the obstacles and open the gates!" Seeing that the people upstairs and on the wall were all nodding their heads, Shen Ning, the son of the Shen family, also breathed his last sigh of relief. "Let's invite this king to come in, and treat him with courtesy...... However, the people on the wall and the people upstairs should not come down, put away their bows and arrows, hold the handle of their knives, and continue to watch carefully. ”

A group of guests and vain applauded one after another.

It took quite a while to remove the barrier behind the door, and outside the door, Wang Xiu led the three of them to stand in front of the door, but they were not the slightest impatient.

"The king has been waiting for a long time." As soon as the door opened, Shen Ning took the initiative to apologize. "Please come in."

Wang Xiu bowed slightly, ignoring the strong man with a knife and a bow on the surrounding wall, and came directly to the middle of the courtyard, but he no longer moved forward.

"Well, what does this mean?" Shen Ning was puzzled for a moment.

"You're the eldest of the Shen family, right?" Wang Xiu asked with his sleeves folded. "Didn't there be two other people who condescendingly questioned me on the street just now? One of them was still armed. Now that I'm alone in your courtyard, why don't you see the other two come out to meet me? Don't you look down on me? Or do you look down on my family? ”

"Look at what you said." Shen Ning looked at so many family members and guests on the left and right, and couldn't help but laugh again. "Where do we and the people of the countryside dare to look down on carelessness? However, our brother was indeed a little rude just now, and he should indeed make amends for the king's exclusive crime...... Come down, both of you! ”

As soon as the words fell, two people flashed out on the upstairs next to the street, and it could be seen that the third child who fell at the end had just put the waist knife on his hand, and his mouth was still a little unclean, as if he was reluctant, but the two brothers had to come to round this face.

Of course, in the eyes of the two brothers of the Shen family, this king has already softened in the overall situation, so he can't be tough anymore, otherwise when the marquis comes back, he will invite the top nobles in the country to make peace, and he may not be good.

Even in Shen Ning's opinion, his brother's actions can be called brave, strategic, polite and courteous, and he obviously pressed the king's exclusive head, and he didn't worry about coming back and hearing this time, so he might have taken a fancy to himself...... Then wouldn't he want to become a colleague with this king, in this case, it would be even more difficult to settle the dispute.

The three brothers had their own thoughts, but after all, they came to the courtyard one after another, and then bowed to the king and apologized.

Wang Xiu bowed slightly, took a step back, but did not say a word.

And at this moment, Wei Yue, Yang Kai, and Zhao Zhao, who were on Wang Xiu's side, suddenly stepped forward calmly, one by one, as if carrying a chicken, and captured the three brothers in their hands.

The surrounding guests were dumbfounded, but they heard Wang Xiu shouting coldly: "What are you waiting for, resist the law and arrest, set up a barricade on the street, and kill it directly!" ”

Without waiting for the three brothers and those guests to react, the three Wei Yue, who had received the order, drew their knives directly, and chopped off the heads of the three brothers who were still at a loss like killing chickens.

At this time, there was a shout on the street, and the righteous servants waiting outside also swarmed in, and those guests and disciples saw that the main heart was dead, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they actually disarmed and surrendered.

At this time, Zhao Guogong Cao Peng Shenmeng was also taken out of the house with a demented look.

"Shen Gongcao!" Wang Xiu didn't look at the blood on the ground at all, but just stood in the courtyard and coldly questioned this gray-haired old man. "Let me ask you something, three years ago, Cao Cao, a county household, came to your house to collect money, but you were unwilling to pay, and he said that he could overestimate the property of the neighborhoods and pay for you, and he said that it was not enough, so you taught him to change the account books, and even estimated that the neighbor's pottery urn was worth 3,000 yuan, and the money should be paid 360...... Is there such a thing?! ”

The old man was dazed, and he didn't look at the blood stains of his three sons on the ground, but was attracted by a trace of afternoon sunlight in the crack of the opposite building, and opened his mouth slightly to raise his head.

"What's going on?" Wang Shuzhi was immediately speechless.

"Old blunt (Alzheimer's)!" The guide on the side glanced at it and knew the truth. "It should have been in the last year or two...... Then the Shen brothers coveted the power of the country, and the minister of state did not work, so they concealed the matter. ”

Wang Xiu became more and more angry, but he clenched his fists, and then followed the gaze of the demented old man to the opposite upstairs.

In other words, many onlookers on the opposite floor have not eased up until now, and at this time, they were all cold and woke up when they were seen by the king.

"Hurry up and beg for someone!" Someone shouted out against decency. "No matter who it is, you have to beg, and then go and invite Wuhou back to negotiate together, otherwise you and I will not be able to save our lives!"

PS: Embarrassing, explain, yesterday was like this, codeword...... I fell asleep, and then after 12 o'clock, a classmate talked to me privately and woke up...... Then continue to codeword, only to find that Kavinka is powerful...... I checked dozens of papers on the strong in the township at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the more I looked at it, the more helpless I became...... The more I looked, the more I didn't know how to write.

To be honest, although the code is out now, and the debt is still paid, I think the township plot written after spending a lot of effort in the first half of the chapter to check the information, you may not like it. But these boring contents must be written, and if they are not written, the volume will lose its meaning of existence.

Helpless...... But the debt was finally repaid.
