Since Wang Mang appeared in the Weicheng court, the Zhao family was not expected to be good. knew that Wang Mang would definitely use Zhao Ping and Zhao Shan as an excuse to take advantage of his own Zhao family.

They are very aware of the grievances between Wang Mang and the Feng family and the Jia family.

Now they expected that they had a close relationship with the Feng family and the Jia family, and Wang Mang would definitely not let him go.

So they took the lead and sent a shrewd sentry to the imperial capital Jia's house for help.

These clan elders are as shrewd as foxes, anticipating the enemy's opportunities, acting decisively, and not dragging their feet in the slightest.

Therefore, they took advantage of the time difference in Wang Mang's trial to find a glimmer of life.

After the Jia family heard the situation, they didn't say a word, and immediately sent many private soldiers to rush to help. It is necessary to suppress Wang Mang's prestige and establish the prestige of his own Jia family.

----

However, after Wang Mang heard that the Jia family sent someone to help the wealthy businessman Zhao family, his whole face turned pale.

Now when he heard that the people had expressed their desire to contribute, he was immediately overjoyed, and said again and again: "Fathers and elders, this time I have paid a private visit, and I have never mobilized the army, and I can't help the Zhao family for the time being in the case of insufficient manpower." Now that you are willing to help, I am grateful. ”

"Lord Wang, don't worry, although we don't have any great power, we can still make some efforts."

An old squire said: "My lord, you have the heart to revive the dynasty and seek benefits for the people, and we must do our part to help the lord." Your Excellency, you can go first, and I'll be there later. Don't say much, I can still gather thousands of old men. ”

"Thank you, uncle!"

Wang Mang bowed slightly, and then led the seven masters he brought and the remaining servants to the Zhao family.

Seeing this, the squires and the common people were not ambiguous, and hurriedly rushed home, gathered strong men, and helped Wang Mang.

Among these people, Li Bo is the only one who is the most excited.

At this moment, he regards Wang Mang as a life-saving benefactor and a reborn parent.

Now I am overjoyed to see that I can contribute.

He said to his wife Sun: "Hanjiao, you and your father can go home first, and I will go and help." ”

Sun nodded and said, "Xianggong, you go by yourself, my father has me to take care of it, it's okay." ”

"Good!" Li Bo nodded, rushed out of the court with an arrow step, and followed Wang Mang to the Zhao family.

As for the other women who had been humiliated by Zhao Ping, they all looked excited.

Zhao Ping is their dream demon, as long as Zhao Ping does not die for a day, they will not be able to live in peace.

In the past, they begged the heavens and the earth to sue the master, and they looked forward to a blue sky lord coming to administer justice and avenge themselves.

Now, Zhao Ping was sentenced to death by Wang Mang, and he will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow, which completely reassures them, but they have a big wish in their hearts.

Therefore, when they heard that the Zhao family rebelled against Wang Mang and fought against the family raiders, they immediately had the idea of helping Wang Mang and helping Wang Mang to completely raid the Zhao family.

"Sisters, we have to go back quickly and let our father-in-law go to the Zhao family to help Lord Wang. We must not let Lord Wang be in the Zhao family's herd. I lost face in front of my life.

Otherwise, who else will stand up for people like us in the future? And once their Zhao family relies on the large number of people and resists Lord Wang, then we will definitely not have a good end in the future, and we will definitely be retaliated against by the Zhao family. A young woman in her early twenties said in a sonorous voice.

When the other women heard this, they all nodded and rushed to their homes to contact relatives and friends to help Wang Mang.

Suddenly, Wang Mang erected a tall image in the hearts of many people with the help of the Zhao family's case. More and more saintly and able to bring the gospel to the people.

The gate of the Zhao family!

Hundreds of officials sent by Wang Mang to raid the house blocked the door, blocking the water around the blockade.

Inside the gate of the Zhao family, hundreds of family members and small servants of the Zhao family cooperated with hundreds of private soldiers sent by the Jia family, armed with sticks, swords and other objects, and confronted the officials and refused to give in to each other.

Seeing that there were many people on the other side, many officials were not reckless for a while, so they had to reprimand loudly with righteous words. Stalling for time and see how Wang Mang arranges this.

Although there were many people in these Zhao families, they did not dare to rush out rashly, and only shrank and defended.

Because their leaders are still waiting for the interrogation of the Jia family and the Feng family, waiting for their next instructions.

Time passed in a flash, and just as the two sides were scolding each other, Wang Mang led the last dozens of people in the county government to finally arrive.

As soon as he arrived at the venue, the officials who had blocked the door quickly moved out of the way.

Wang Mang led seven guards to the gate of Zhao's house and saw the private soldiers blocking the door of Zhao's house.

"Who is it? Who is it who resists the law and disrespects and resists arrest and raiders? Who are your leaders? Who's calling the shots? Let him come out to me quickly. ”

Wang Mang's eyes were cold, and he scolded sharply.

When the Zhao family's private soldiers heard the question, they didn't answer, but just sent someone to the hall to report the news.

An old lady of the Zhao family, who was in charge of the overall situation in the hall, and a high-level executive sent by the Jia family to help heard the report and sneered three times.

Then, the two of them got up at the same time and walked towards the gate together.

After a while, they were only across the door from Wang Mang.

When Wang Mang saw the two of them coming, he expected them to be the mastermind, so he asked, "Who are you?" How dare you openly confront the imperial court? ”

"Old Zhao Yang is Zhao Shan's uncle." Old lady Zhao replied.

In addition, the person sent by the Jia family to help also spoke: "Wang Mang, I am Jia Fengxin, and the Jia Fengzhi you arrested a few days ago is my eldest brother." ”

"Zhao Yang? Jia Fengxin? You're so bold. Wang Mang said coldly: "I investigated the case according to the law, but you obstructed it. Zhao Yang, do you want to be punished by the Nine Clans? Jia Fengxin, it's rare that your Jia family still wants to rebel? ”

Zhao Yang was not good at talking, and Jia Fengxin laughed and said: "Hahaha, it's really unashamed!" Wang Mang, you relied on your official authority to oppress the squires and wealthy merchants, trying to confiscate their family property as a tax and increase the credit of your own household department.

Your move is simply perverse, killing the chicken and taking the eggs. Although my Jia family's status is not as good as yours, I have to do my best to fight with you for the sake of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty's country, since others don't do their best to protect it, then my Jia family will protect it. You are such a hegemonic minister, don't think of covering the sky with one hand. ”

"Oh? Am I a minister? Your Jia family wants to protect the Han River? Hahaha...."

Wang Mang laughed, his eyes getting colder and colder, "Jia Fengxin, it seems that your Jia family has to fight to the death with me." ”

"Hmph, how can my Jia family be afraid of you? Wang Mang, this land of Qingzhou is not your Liaoning, and you can't be wild. If you know each other, then get out of Qingzhou as soon as possible. Jia Fengxin shouted.

Wang Mang shook his head and did not answer, but said to Zhao Yang: "Old man Zhao, I sent officials to raid your Zhao family because what your Zhao family committed is intolerable. Let me ask you for the last time, do you want to fight against the imperial court with the Jia family?

I'll give you a choice. Either order your Zhao family to put down the weapons in your hands and accept the raid. Or fight me to the death.

However, you must know that if you order the family to put down the weapons in their hands and accept the official service to raid the house, then your Zhao family will have a way to live, so as not to involve the innocent. If you insist on confronting, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, private soldiers against the imperial court will be guilty of rebellion, and the three clans will be punished at the least, and the nine clans will be punished at the least. You have to think about it. ”
