Chapter 108 Solicitation of bribes

After taking the miasma wine, Fan Xicheng led Zhao Zhixian and left in a hurry.

Touching the white jade bracelet with a delicate and moist texture and like mutton fat, Han Qian summoned Zhao Wuji, Yang Qin, Lin Zongjing, Guo Nuer, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others in to ask: "We have spread the news in the morning, why hasn't anyone come to the door until now?" ”

"Maybe most people are still waiting and seeing," Gao Shao stepped forward and asked with some puzzlement, "Since the evidence was erased last night, why did you spread the news of the four surnames colluding with the prisoners to riot?" ”

"Although it is said that the native people of Xuzhou have an advantage, there are more than 4,000 households who have migrated to Wushan and Wushui due to war and famine for hundreds of years, and there are more than 1,000 households inside and outside Qianyang City alone, and the strength is not weak.

There are still too few people around Han Qian who can be used, and he has doubts about Gao Shao and the others, so when he closes the door at this time, he naturally wants to explain in as much detail and clarity as possible, and said,

"There are several reasons, one is that the people of Hakka nationality also come from different places, move into Xuzhou, and mostly gather in local dialects to form different ethnic groups; First, most of the people of guest nationality, especially those who moved in due to the war in recent decades, have no arable land, and most of them are attached to the granges or other properties of the wealthy families as employment; First, Da Chu has been in the grass for thirteen years, and the time to control Jiangnan West Road is even shorter, no one knows when Da Chu will repeat again, and he does not have high hopes for Jinling; One is that the Ma family has its own line in Tanzhou, and those who have a little foresight in Xuzhou will be far away from Jinling and close to Tanzhou - in this case, the people of the guest nationality can be in awe of the assassin sent by Jinling, it is really hell, the only exception is that they need to feel a strong existential crisis! Otherwise, how could my father establish himself in Xuzhou? ”

"It's just that it would be a bit hasty to hint at the big families in the guest register to show favor here?" Gao Shao saw that Han Qian was still very proud to play with the two white jade bracelets given by Zhao Zhixian, a medical doctor from the state capital, and hesitated for a while, but he couldn't help but ask, but he was worried about being trained, and looked at Han Qian with a blank eye.

"The third prince only allocates three million dollars to me every year, but I want to provide you with food and clothing, and I have to give you a reward from time to time to settle down, do you think three million dollars is enough to do a fart? Now I'm not in Xuzhou to quickly collect some money, and you will make up for the shortfall? Or do you think I'm going to live a more luxurious life, and I need to go to this poor place to collect it? ”

Han Qian glared at Gao Shao angrily and said,

"Even if those big families in the guest nationality, they will not be afraid of us reaching out to ask for money, all they think in their hearts is that they can support my father without principles to support them in Xuzhou to compete with the local surname for profit, and they will only be more at ease if they can send the money out."

"The lesson of the lord is," Gao Shao was born as a scout leader before, and his mind was more alive than Tian Cheng and Yang Qin, and he said with a shy face, "This matter should be rushed, and it is impossible to expect those big guests to take the initiative, in addition to their hesitation, they are afraid of the majesty of Lord Shi and dare not come to the door." However, we can be proactive. I think this Zhao Zhixian is very knowledgeable and interesting, and as a doctor of medicine in the state capital, I believe that he has dealings with the big guests in the city, if he can take the lead and pick out the thoughts of adults more clearly, things will be easier to do......"

Zhao Wuji, Lin Zongjing, and Guo Nuer have the deepest awe of Han Qian, and they are young after all, so they don't have any feelings about what Han Qian says or does, so they just do it.

Yang Qin and Tian Cheng looked at each other, feeling embarrassed that they were discussing how to receive bribes as soon as possible behind closed doors.

Han Qian thought that Gao Shao's idea was good.

After all, they spread the news, but if the big guest wants to really step out and make friends with the new Assassin Shi, there will still be a lot of psychological obstacles and hesitations, and even many people feel that Lord Assassin Shi is too high and unqualified to come over and make friends.

If there were people in these big guest families who could take the lead, and others would just follow, things would go much smoother - this Zhao Zhixian was kicked to Xuzhou to take up his post, earlier than Wang Yu, regardless of his character, as a medical officer of the Taiyi Department, he is definitely a person with excellent medical skills in Xuzhou.

As long as it is a human being, it is inevitable that the old doctor will die, and the connection between the medical officer and the local big family is even closer than the history of the high-ranking assassins.

Han Qian tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a while, and said to Zhao Ting'er: "We gave Lord Zhao a preserved fruit as a gift in return, it was a bit of a greeting, you prepare a few more things, and Gao Shao will send them over." ”

"Going today?" Although the idea was Gao Shao's idea, he didn't expect Han Qian to ask him to do it so urgently, and asked, "The situation is still not peaceful today, is it a two-day delay?" ”

"It's because it's not peaceful, so we have to do it at this time," Han Qian said in a decisive tone, "And this thing must be done today." ”

Tian Cheng and Yang Qin couldn't erase this face, and Han Qian saw that Gao Shao's mind was flexible, so he handed over this matter to him.

There are too many things on the side of the state prison, pardoning the prisoners for light punishment is one thing, and it is also extremely important to reorganize the jailers to ensure that the state prison is no longer an active volcano, Han Qian stayed in the courtyard in the afternoon, and let Zhao Ting'er help collect the key information and mark it on the topographic map of Qianyang City, so that the Zuo Si scouts can monitor and defend Qianyang City more effectively in the next month or two.

Gao Shao's work efficiency was also high, and before it was too late, he took Zhao Zhixian to the door again.

At this time, Zhao Zhixian had already contacted more than 20 big families living in the city, held a banquet in Guanyue Tower, and invited Han Qian to come over to the banquet.

Han Qian was afraid that Zhao Ting'er would be bored, so he asked her to change into men's clothes, and accompanied by Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Yang Qin and others, he happily rushed to Guanyue Tower, which was only one street away from Furong Garden, to attend the banquet; No matter how busy his father was, he sent someone to pull Fan Xicheng from his father's side.

After all, in Xuzhou in the future, Fan Xicheng has to represent his father and maintain close contact with these big guest families.

Han Daoxun is an honest official, and Fan Xicheng is deeply influenced by him, and even acts a little stereotyped.

Even if he had set the tone of scraping the place and slackening Ma's vigilance before entering Xuzhou, but in Fan Xicheng's view, he also needed to pay attention to strategy, and he couldn't do it too ugly, he didn't expect that it was only a day to work in Xuzhou, and the situation was so urgent and critical yesterday, and even now the danger is far from being completely eliminated.

Fan Xicheng found that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the young master Han Qian at all, how could he be so impatient and ugly?

After drinking a table of wine for nearly an hour, Fan Xicheng was uncomfortable, and when Han Qian accepted gifts from others, he also found an excuse to avoid them - moreover, Han Qian accepted gifts from others, but it was okay, and he also uncovered the property on the spot to take inventory, forcing several people to secretly take off the ornaments from their bodies and stuff them into the gift bag.

This is no longer unscrupulous, it can be said to be shameless.

Fan Xicheng saw that many people secretly showed a look of disgust, and knew that he could not persuade the young master at this time, so he could only sigh in his heart, and endure until the bright moon hung high, and then accompanied Han Qian, who was drunk, back to Furong Garden.

At this time, Han Daoxun had already returned to Furong Garden, and was sitting in the east courtyard with Xue Ruogu and the others talking.

Although he didn't rest for two days, Han Daoxun was in good spirits.

Han Qian asked Zhao Wuji, Gao Shao and others to wait outside the West Courtyard, and he and Fan Xicheng walked over to greet their father and asked, "Have all the affairs of the state prison been arranged?" The old soldiers who were sent to see the four chieftains yesterday should have all come back by now, and they didn't cut off an ear or nose or anything? ”

"It's not that no one has come back with a nose or eyes, but the people sent to Jingyun Village and Lianshan Village have not even been able to enter the village, so they have been driven back," Han Daoxun said, "And the four surnamed children in the state camp all left the city suddenly before evening. ”

In addition to the three cities of Qianyang and other cities in Xuzhou, Feng Xixiang and Yang Si have big villages at the eastern foot of Wushan Mountain, occupying the key passes leading to Wushan, Wushui and the depths of the upper reaches of Yuanshui.

The native Fanmin who live in the four walled cities of Feng Xixiang and Yang and the vicinity account for almost forty percent of the total population of Xuzhou.

The three cities of Qianyang, Langxi and Tanyang are built in the low beach area along the Yuanshui, the terrain is relatively gentle and open, although the core waterway of the Yuanshui is controlled, but the passage that extends to the depths of Wushui and Wushan is blocked by the walled cities such as Jingyun and Lianshan.

The people living near the three cities of Qianyang, Langxi and Tanyang are mainly customers or guests who have moved over the past few hundred years.

The current pattern of Xuzhou is formed in the past 300 years since the official establishment of the city at the beginning of the previous dynasty.

In addition to the main household or local nationality or customer or local nationality entered into the state nationality, there are a large number of Shanyue people living in the deep mountains and distant waters, not to mention the state and county yamen, even the four surnames are difficult to reach, difficult to control, so it is also called Shengfan, how many people are there, there is no specific statistics since the previous dynasty.

"What are they going to do? They didn't dare to raise the flag to rebel, this was because they planned to defend themselves from now on and not interact with Da Chu? Han Qian asked, "Then we will take over the other two cities, and there are more than 4,000 Hakka households in our hands, and the result is not bad." ”

Although Xue Ruogu and others had already understood the ruthlessness and decisiveness of this Assassin Shi Gongzi in the scene last night, it was also amazing to hear that this Assassin Shi Gongzi couldn't wait to ask Zhao Zhixian to invite the big guests in the city to set up a banquet, so that he could accept financial gifts in Guanyue Tower.

At this time, seeing that Han Qian said the current situation so easily, Xue Ruogu was also slightly stunned, and couldn't help but argue: "I'm afraid the situation is not as optimistic as Han Gongzi thought." ”

Han Qian smiled slightly, of course he knew that the situation was not as simple as he said, he said this, it was just to adjust the atmosphere, he didn't expect Xue Ruogu to be so boring.

Fan Xicheng said worriedly: "Although all the people who can prove that they colluded with the prisoners to rob the prison and riot have died, it is normal for the fourth surname to worry that all this is a trap set by us. It's just that if the situation continues to be so deadlocked, and the news spreads again, it won't be long before the imperial court will be held accountable. ”

The imperial court sent Han Daoxun out of Xuzhou, not to let him control a shattered Xuzhou that would break out at any time, especially since they had already "suppressed" all the witnesses in blood, and the four surnames might even bite them back at that time.

At this time, Fan Xicheng felt that Han Qian's suggestion last night to directly kill Zhang Xiaochuan, Liu Bin and others was a bit hasty, otherwise they would have had a chance to defend themselves if they had these witnesses and the court held them accountable.

"If it is unexpected, Yang Zaili, Xiang Jianlong, Xizhen, Feng Changyu and others should all be watching the situation in Jingyun Village," Han Qian stretched and said, "Then I will personally go to Jingyun Village." ”

Xue Ruogu and the others were all shocked, they didn't expect that the ruthless and resolute, greedy and wealthy Thorn Shi Gongzi they were so desperate and greedy for money would have the courage to break into the thief camp alone.
