At night, in the city, Hou Sui's residence. Super fast and stable updates, this article is made by. Starting

Sun Chuanting came to see Hou Sui, who was meeting his steward at this time.

"First invite Governor Sun to serve tea in the living room, and I'll be there later." Hou Sui commanded his subordinates, and then said to the steward: "Why did you come back alone?" What about your business? ”

The steward reported in frustration: "Master, the villain went back to the house, told the uncle what the master meant, and agreed." But when we packed up and came out, we got stuck at the city gate. Li Yan's soldiers died, and he didn't want to give money, even if he didn't accept the title deed. After a stalemate for a long time, a group of soldiers suddenly came and unloaded everything. Half of everything was taken, and then everything was sent to the house. ”

"Huh?" Hou Sui frowned and said, "Half of it was taken?" ”

The steward added: "That's not true, except for the title deed and the house deed, half of the other gold and silver silk and grain have been forcibly taken. By the way, their officer also said that next time it will be the same rule. ”

"What do you mean?!" Hou Sui glared at the steward and asked.

The steward replied cautiously: "Maybe, maybe you won't let you go, and if you go again, you will still confiscate half of the things." ”

"What about the title deeds? Why didn't they take it? ”

The steward replied helplessly: "How dare the villain ask, maybe they have forgotten." If the villain asks, isn't it half of our house and land? ”

"What about the others?" Hou Sui took a deep breath and had to ask other questions.

The steward replied: "Originally, the Ye family also wanted to leave, but after knowing what happened to our family, they didn't dare to move anymore." However, the Shen family said that it was good to be in Guide Mansion, so as not to go out and be robbed by thieves. ”

"What news does Chaozong (Hou Fangyu) have? Will half of the money he was given to him be forcibly taken? Hou Sui closed his eyes and frowned, thought for a while, and asked again.

The steward said: "The son is all right in Nanjing, and he is studying the article with Jiangnan Junjie." However, when Childe left, he brought a lot of money, and he didn't check it at that time, so he hadn't sent any more money to Childe. ”

"Then when you go back this time, you will send some silver money to Chaozong." Hou Sui instructed: "Don't do more, just send three hundred taels first, and see what Li Yan's reaction is." If he doesn't stop it, he will send more to Chaozong, send a few people over, and let him buy some properties in Nanjing. I don't know what will happen in the future, so it's better to let Chaozong stay in Jiangnan. ”

"The villain will go back tomorrow."

Hou Sui waved his hand and ordered: "Don't worry, go back in three or five days." ”

"The villain knows." The steward agreed

After that, Hou Sui tidied up his clothes and went to the front living room. Xiang Sun Chuanting hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Let Brother Boya wait for a long time, forgive your sins, forgive your sins." ”

Sun Chuanting stood up, also clenched his fists and said, "It's Chuanting who came uninvited and bothered him." ”

Hou Sui invited Sun Chuanting to sit down, and after a few words of greeting, he finally asked: "Brother Boya came late at night, I don't know what is important?" ”

"Sir, the students are here to discuss important matters." Sun Chuanting said in a low voice. However, he has a problem with his ears, even if it is quieter, it is not much lower.

Fortunately, the subordinates here are all Hou Sui's own people, and he had no choice but to smile and say, "I want to hear about it." ”

"That Li Yan seems to have the potential of a feudal town." Sun Chuanting said: "This is by no means a blessing for the imperial court. If this person is allowed to become bigger, all the generals will take him as an example, and I am afraid that the disaster of the Tang Dynasty will be repeated in this dynasty. ”

Hou Sui was a little helpless, and now there are indeed such signs. Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong are the best examples, they do not listen to orders, they are good at defending the war, intercepting taxes, and looting private capital. But what can be done other than He Renlong being booby-trapped by order?

"What do you mean by Boya?" Hou Sui asked.

Sun Chuanting made a knife with his hand and said coldly: "Kill!" ”

Hou Sui was taken aback, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no." He is the chief military officer, and even if he has Shang Fangjian, he has no right to dispose of it. And he is also the husband of the lord of Anping, a relative of the emperor, how can he be so hasty? ”

"Without His Majesty's permission, without the inspection of the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites, can you be regarded as a relative of the emperor?" Sun Chuanting said solemnly: "This matter is caught by Chuanting, but I heard that Li Yan's military strength is extraordinary, so please Mr. think of some reasons and transfer some soldiers in." As long as Li Yan confers the head and declares his guilt, the other generals will not dare to make trouble. ”

Hou Sui was annoyed for a while. Xindao: This is said to be bright, just do it yourself, why do you have to tell me? Will I be able to get out of it afterwards? Besides, the emperor didn't allow it, but the king of Zhou agreed, can there be good fruits to eat afterwards?

He shook his head and persuaded, "Don't worry, Boya, the top priority now is to exterminate the thieves, not to eradicate any feudal town. Don't say that Li Yan is just a sign of some feudal towns now, even if he really does what he does, he has his own court to deal with, let's be subordinates, it's better not to overstep the bounds. ”

"Do you just watch him grow big?" Sun Chuanting said helplessly: "I heard that he has 50,000 elite soldiers, if he hadn't exploited the people, how could he have raised these soldiers?" Looking at the outfits of his men, thirty percent of them have chain mail, and the rest are good armor. There are also dozens of Hongyi cannons, each of which is worth thousands of taels. If he is allowed to develop, he will definitely be the likes of An and History in the future! ”

Hou Sui touched his beard and said with a smile: "Since Li Yan's troops are extraordinary, let him take the lead." If you can defeat the Rogue Thief, that's the best. At the same time, he must have suffered heavy casualties and was no longer at his peak today. If it is defeated by the thieves, it will naturally remove a hidden worry for the imperial court. Isn't that much better than Boya's approach? ”

Sun Chuanting frowned and said: "Although these methods can achieve the goal, they are not successful. How can you and I be members of the court do such a shady act? ”

Hou Sui sneered in his heart: It seems that the booby trap is so open. Still, he said, "Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times." The matter was so decided, and tomorrow when the army was discussed again, Li Yan was designated as the vanguard officer. ”

The purpose of Sun Chuanting's trip has been achieved, and he will no longer be entangled in what means to use. hugged his fists and said: "Okay, tomorrow the court will definitely cooperate with Mr. and let Li Yan be the pioneer officer." Then the court will not bother and take his leave. ”

At the same time, inside the barracks.

Li Yan instructed Li Mu: "Hou Sui's family has returned, and they should know our actions." You will return to Decheng tomorrow, take care of those officials and gentry, and don't let them go. ”

"Forget about them raiding their homes and going to prison, why bother?" Li Mu asked puzzled.

Li Yan said with a smile: "It's better to let them have some fetters, if they have a family and a business, they won't do extreme things, and it will be more beneficial to our affairs in the future." ”

"The fourth brother always thinks too far." Li Mu said indifferently. Then he asked, "There won't be a problem here, right?" ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "I've arranged everything, there won't be any accidents." The next step is to guard against Li Chuang's counterattack, you go back and gather the people of Xiayi, Yucheng, and Yongcheng to train, and send them to each county to guard when necessary, and replace a part of the troops for preparation. ”

"Okay, I'll take care of it."
