Han Daoxun stood with his hands in his hands, and his determination was difficult.

Han Qian walked out of the public hall and saw Fan Xicheng coming out, he stood in front of the porch, stretched out his hand to pick a bunch of wild grapes hanging from the eaves, and looked at Fan Xicheng: "What, are you afraid that I will put these people in the inner prison and suppress them now?" ”

Fan Xicheng stared at Han Qian, looking at the courtyard outside, Tian Cheng and Gao Shao were leading people to put Zhang Xiaochuan, Liu Bin and others in the inner prison courtyard, he really suspected that the young master might advocate without authorization, isolate the jailers and other unrelated people, and arrange the second prisoner riot, without even making any movement, directly sent Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and other scouts from Zuo Si into the inner prison to kill these people, and then declared that the prisoners' second riot would be successful.

Even if such an arrangement is full of flaws, who will question it and who can question it?

Fan Xicheng was puzzled, when did the young master become so ruthless and decisive?

Han Qian lifted his armor, sat on the steps, picked the grapes and threw them in his mouth, sour and astringent, it took a while to endure the sourness and chew out some taste, but he wanted to eat the whole bunch of grapes, sour his teeth, he didn't want to eat for two days, and threw the bunch of grapes into the corner of the yard.

At this moment, Han Qian motioned for Fan Xicheng to also sit on the steps.

"Fan Ye is merciful and doesn't advocate killing, but Fan Ye, do you want a way not to kill?" Han Qian asked in a bland, as if discussing an insignificant issue.

Fan Xicheng was about to say that adults have their own methods, but when he looked up, he saw Han Qian's eyes with a sharp gaze, and he realized that the young master at this time was no longer something he could prevaricate casually.

Fan Xicheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

They are in Qianyang, Xuzhou, only a hundred elites can be used, if they really want to force the four surnames to rebel, they have no local support, it is absolutely impossible to hold Qianyang City, the best result is to retreat to Chenzhou, waiting for reinforcements.

The situation deteriorated a little, and even retreating to Chenzhou was untenable, because Chenzhou was also controlled by the Shanyue family, and the officials appointed by Jinling, such as Chenzhou Assassin, had limited local power.

Once the situation deteriorates, the imperial court will either suppress or appease, and there will only be two choices.

Sending envoys to appease them, even if it is an expedient measure, will inevitably use them as scapegoats to appease the anger of the four surnames; Sending troops to suppress them, or asking Tanzhou Jiedu envoys to send troops, or from Jiangzhou and other places, or even directly from Jinling, to transfer the forbidden army stationed in Beijing or the guards and pro-army to go on the expedition, may further intensify the contradictions, causing the Shanyue tribes in the southern Hunan prefectures such as Chenxu, Shao Heng, and other states to be agitated together, even if the rebellion can be put down in the end, how many casualties caused by the expedition of the king's division, the fatigue of carriages and horses, the excessive expenditure of military funds, and even the stalemate of the war will cause how much resentment accumulated in the DPRK and China will be sprinkled on them?

In Han Qian's suggestion just now, the key point hidden is that they do not have the ability to control the overall situation of Xuzhou, and they must not force the four surnames to openly rebel unless they have to.

The four surnames may have expected this, so they are so arrogant and violent, right?

If you can't force the four surnames to openly rebel, you can't reveal the truth about the conspiracy of the four surnames to indulge the prisoners and rob the prison, so what else can they do?

handed over Zhang Xiaochuan, Liu Bin and others, when nothing had happened, begged the four surnames to calm down the incident, so that after that, they clamped their tails in Xuzhou and behaved, and let the four surnames continue to control Xuzhou?

Or did they kill Zhang Xiaochuan, Liu Bin and others, but when nothing happened, with a more tough attitude, forced the four surnames to calm down the incident on their own?

And the latter, even if it only keeps a delicate and fragile balance in Xuzhou for the time being, they will have room and room for follow-up.

"There is some dirty work and tiring work, which should be done by you," Han Qian patted Fan Xicheng lightly on the shoulder, "I can only stay in Xuzhou for a month or two, is it possible that Fan Ye is counting on me for a month or two to help my father do all the dirty work in Xuzhou?" Could it be that Fan Ye expects us to hand over people this time, and the four surnames will not do dirtier and more evil things in the future? ”

Han Qian stretched out his hand and slapped it very lightly, but Fan Xicheng felt that every palm was like a thousand pounds, which made Fan Xicheng's back chill, not that the young master he was worried about would advocate and kill people without authorization, but that the young master would personally kill people and kill people.

Han Qian patted his ass and stood up, standing under the porch, staring at Fan Xicheng's back.

After a long time, Fan Xicheng stood up stiffly, feeling a poisonous snake staring at him behind him, and he didn't dare to go back to the backyard.

Han Qian walked back to the public hall and said to his father, "Fan Xicheng has already gone to make arrangements." ”

"......" Han Daoxun sighed slightly, he knew that his hands were not covered with blood, and there was no way to control the situation in Xuzhou.

Xue Ruogu, Li Tang, and Qin Wen sat there, also silent, and suddenly found that it was not easy to assassinate Shi Gongzi, and they immediately thought of such a ruthless plan, and they sat for a long time, but they didn't come up with any other better way.

"After today, I will ask the three adults to move their residences to the vicinity of the Hibiscus Garden." Han Daoxun is also a decisive person, since he has made up his mind, he doesn't think about the bloody things that will happen in the Inner Supervision Courtyard, and talks to Xue Ruogu and the others.

"Thank you for the kindness." Xue Ruogu thanked him, they were also afraid that the four surnamed Mingli would not dare to rebel openly, but they secretly targeted their wives and children, old and young, and lived next to the Furong Garden, so that they could enjoy the protection of the soldiers and guards of the Assassin's Mansion, and they could also rest assured that they would follow the new Assassin to do something.

Han Daoxun returned his attention to the prisoner roster, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said to Li Tang: "There are only more than 50 cells in the state prison, and nearly 900 prisoners are held, of which eighty percent are salt prisoners, overcrowded, there are all local guests, and there are also manic people, and the contradictions are complicated. I looked at the list, and if I commit less than three buckets of salt, Hao will be able to reduce nearly half of the prisoners, Lord Li, what do you think? ”

Li Tang is the supervisor of the Xuzhou Salt and Iron Academy, independent of the state capital, and subordinate to the salt and iron transfer envoy, which is a detail of the extension of the Great Chu Salt and Iron Administration to Xuzhou.

The Great Chu Salt Administration, in general, is the implementation of monopoly buying, but Xuchen and other prefectures, located in a remote area, bandits are rampant along the way, the implementation of commercial sales, commercial sales, that is, salt merchants buy salt from the government-run salt farms, and organize transportation to the designated place to sell.

As a result, the price of salt in Xuzhou and other places was completely controlled by salt merchants, reaching an abnormal price of six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan per stone, and it also led to repeated prohibitions on illegal salt in these places.

At the same time, one of the consequences caused is that the supervisor of the Zhuzhou Salt and Iron Institute was originally a very fat and beautiful prison, but when he went to the Xuzhou Salt and Iron Yuan, he did not have the right to transport and sell salt, and his main responsibility was to cooperate with and urge the prefecture and county to prohibit the use of illegal salt, which became a chore.

Han Daoxun considered that he wanted to completely solve the hidden dangers of the state prison, and as an assassin, he had the right to specialize, but he still had to discuss with Li Tang, who was the supervisor of the Xuzhou Salt and Iron Prison.

Li Tang weighed the moment and said to Han Daoxun: "It's all up to the adult's decision. ”

He knew that the situation was like this, and he had to make a decision, but he was in a low position, and he also hoped that Han Daoxun would take on greater responsibility.

"Good!" As long as Han Daoxun does not object to Li Tang, he will sign an order to release him immediately, and he will make up for the matter of the request in the future.

Could it be that they are going to sit on this volcano for the next three or four months?

At this time, there was a faint howl inside, and the corners of Xue Ruogu, Li Tang, Qin Wen and others all twitched faintly at the corners of their eyes.

After a cup of tea, Fan Xicheng, whose armor was splashed with blood, walked in and reported: "The prisoners made a fuss again, causing the jailer Zhang Xiaochuan, Sicang to order Liu Bin and several jailers to die in the line of duty. ”

"Okay, Xue Ruogu, you find a few old officials who are familiar with the situation, and report this matter to Changshi, Sima, Lu Shi to join the army, and Zhu Cao to join the army," Han Daoxun said, "After the official pardons the prisoners who are not seriously responsible, he will prepare a chapter and submit it to the imperial court." In addition, the prison history was unfortunately martyred, and the state prison was uncontrolled, so the official Hu followed Zhao Kuo to purge the jailers, and asked Lord Xue and Lord Qin to jointly supervise the prison affairs......"

If more than 400 light-sentence prisoners are pardoned and released, Han Daoxun and they are destined to not be able to go back to sleep tonight, Han Qian yawned and said to his father: "It is inconvenient for the child to interfere in the affairs of the state capital, so I will take someone back to Furong Garden first." ”

Han Daoxun nodded, the scout of the left division should maintain strong combat effectiveness in case of trouble, he can't waste the night here, he should go back to Furong Garden to rest in time.

Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo led their soldiers and more than a dozen soldiers to stay, and in addition, there were more than 40 jailers who did not dare to act rashly, and there was no problem in controlling the situation in the state prison, and the situation would be further eased when the prisoners with light sentences were pardoned and released from prison tomorrow.

And there was no movement on the state camp from beginning to end, Han Qian believed that if he was not forced to the last step, the four surnames would not dare to openly rebel, right?

Although the mountains and rivers in Xuzhou are far away, and the land is dangerous and difficult to attack, the four surnames have a total of 5,000 households, and if they rebel, their strength is still too weak.

In addition to the dozens of scouts who were still lurking in the shadows, who continued to stare at the movements inside and outside Qianyang City, Han Qian, Zhao Wuji, Gao Shao, Tian Cheng, and Yang Qin led more than sixty soldiers to retreat into Furong Garden.

When entering the state prison from Furong Yuan to suppress the riot, only half of the Zuo Si scouts and Yang Qin's subordinates wore armor in total, on the one hand, the armor was expensive, and Han Qian was not able to get many sets of armor from the cantonment military government at first, and on the other hand, most of the Zuo Si scouts were scattered westward, and it was inconvenient to carry the armor.

However, after leaving the state prison, Han Qian unceremoniously moved back the batch of armor prepared by the four surnames for the prisoners in advance, except for two hundred shoddy iron spears.

Zhou Yourui and the other musicians were still in the West Courtyard, and when they saw the many people behind Han Qian, most of their clothes and armor were stained with blood, it was inconvenient to ask too many questions, so they stepped forward and asked, "If there is no summoning over there, the slaves and maids may leave?" ”

"There's Miss Lao Zhou tonight." Han Qian waved his hand and said.

"Lord Wang's death is really someone who did something?" Zhou Yourui couldn't help but ask.

"True or false, it doesn't matter at this time," Han Qian didn't want to explain too much, and said, "Miss Zhou, these days, I have nothing to do and go out as little as possible, and the city has not been completely peaceful." ”

Zhou Yourui bowed, and the rest of the musicians who were shocked and panicked said goodbye and left the Furong Garden.
