Chapter 402: True Identity (I)

After reading the document in his hand, Zhong Qianshan's face turned a little purple, and he slapped it on the table in front of him with a snap, and said angrily: "It's really unreasonable!" As he spoke, he took a few breaths in a row, obviously angry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In front of him stood his son Zhong Yuan, as soon as he saw his father making such a big fire, this capable man in his forties lowered his head and didn't dare to talk, but his eyes kept glancing, paying attention to Zhong Qianshan's actions.

The official document was covered with a bright red Qinchaguan defense, which was sent from Datong and was drafted by Zhong Yu himself. In fact, the content of this document is also very simple, that is, to ask the Zhong family to return the land annexed from the Datong army, but this tone is too direct and straightforward, and there is almost no room for negotiation and meaning.

After reading this document, not to mention Zhong Qianshan, an old man who has always had a hot temper, it is Li Mu and Liu Changqing, I am afraid that he will be very angry, not to mention that this is still the meaning of his Zhong family's children, which makes Old Man Zhong's heart even more blocked.

After gasping for a long time, Zhong Qianshan let out a sneer: "Very good, my Zhong family really has a good official who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and he actually hit his own head with all his ideas." The old man was willing to cooperate with the government because of his face before, but now it seems that he really raised a white-eyed wolf! ”

"Dad, please calm your anger, don't be angry." Zhong Yuan hurriedly persuaded. At the same time, he muttered in his heart: "Didn't you help them deal with Liu Yingji because there was really no other way before?" Why are you saying this now? ”

"Hmph, can this not make me angry? Even if he Zhongyu sent me a good letter to persuade me to quit the field, I wouldn't be so angry. What does he mean by that? It is clear that the official oppresses people, and puts on a business-like appearance to deal with his own family. Zhong Qianshan said and slapped the table case again: "He can really be regarded as a model of people, he only cares about loyalty but does not care about filial piety!" ”

Zhong Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, in the end, what Dad values is still a matter of face. Indeed, most of the Zhong family's family business is in the Taiyuan area, although they have also expanded in other parts of Shanxi, but not much. Like Datong, it is only a thousand acres of land, which is extremely amazing for ordinary people, but for a family like them, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Even if they are all discarded, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

So after receiving this official document, although Zhong Yuan was also very unhappy, he did not have the idea of going against the government, even if this official document was written by the Zhong family himself, he was just uncomfortable. But Zhong Yuan also knew his father's temper, so he deliberately chose to send the official document today when he was in a good mood, but Rao was like this, and his father was still angry.

"Dad, the matter has come to this, and my son thinks it's better to do what the official document intended. Although we have some losses, they are not big compared to the other two, and we can afford this loss. Otherwise, if we really turn against the government, it will not do us any good. Seeing that his father's anger had calmed down a little, Zhong Yuan spoke again to persuade.

Although Zhong Qianshan has a bad temper, he is not stupid, so he naturally understands that by this time they have no other choice. In the past, because they were subject to the witnesses in Yang Zhen's hands, they had to completely break with the original Datong government, which greatly offended the entire Shanxi officialdom. If they offend the Datong officials who have controlled the situation now, there will be no one in the government in Shanxi who can speak for them.

Obviously, Zhong Yu also grasped this point, so he would make such a strong demand without hesitation. It's just that they didn't think about it, or they didn't want to think about it, this statement would cause a lot of harm to Zhong Qianshan.

However, Zhong Yuan has another opinion, this is just Zhong Yu or the people around him to vent their evil anger. Before, they teamed up with Liu Yingji and others to put Zhong Yu and them under house arrest for a while, and now that they have regained power, they will always take the opportunity to vent their anger. Therefore, it is reasonable to have such a business-like official document.

After being silent for a long time, Zhong Qianshan sighed: "That's it, they've all fallen in, let's let them take advantage of it again, I'll approve it." ”

"Yes, my son will handle this matter properly." Zhong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he didn't want to make any more extraneous branches. Now the internal situation of the Li family has given him a great warning, only when the inside and outside are stable, can he, the nominal successor of the head of the family, live a better life.

"Hmm......" Zhong Qianshan raised his hand and wanted to send his son away, but suddenly thought of something again: "Do you know if the Liu and Li families have received this official document?" ”

"Yes, like our family, I received it two days ago. I heard that the two of them were arguing, and I didn't know what to decide. Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Yuan's mouth. These two industries in Datong are much larger than the Zhong family, so it is inevitable that there will be some problems.

Saying this, Zhong Qianshan's heart was smoother: "That's pretty much the same, I really want to see the expressions of the two old guys, Liu Changqing and Li Mu, now." At the beginning, the two of them once cheated me behind my back, which made me suffer a lot of losses when I obtained the Datong military field, which is good, I have to vomit out. As he spoke, he laughed, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness just now.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan could only smile helplessly. Sometimes this dad is very shrewd, sometimes like a child, always so calculating. But I don't want to think about it, this time everyone has suffered a big loss, how can I be happy? But that's fine, it's better for the old man to be happier than just now.

As the Zhong family took the lead in expressing their willingness to pay the government for all the military land they had embezzled before, the other two families were also a little unbearable.

Although they did everything they did to make it seem legitimate when they obtained the military land, they couldn't do much research, and there were always many ulteriors hidden inside. Therefore, if you insist on fighting with the government, you will not have good fruit to eat. After weighing it repeatedly, the Liu family replied to the government and was willing to hand over the military field. Then there is the Li family, they are the most powerful family in Datong, and they occupy the most military land, and this time they naturally vomit the most.

Looking at the land deed sent by the people of the three families, Zhong Yu's face was already full of a smile of relief: "Erlang's method is indeed very good, so we have recovered sixty or seventy percent of the military field." It's a pity that the rest of the landlords still can't find ......"

"Why do you want to blame you like this, we can get back six or seven percent of the military land, which is enough to give an explanation to the soldiers. And don't forget, my lord, the actual number of my Datong army is only six or seven percent. Even if we can really get all the military land back, if there is no one to cultivate it, it will be a waste. And in this way, there will be people who will fight their ideas, and in the end there will still be similar consequences as before. So I thought, it's good to be like this now. Yang Zhen hurriedly comforted.

"What you said is right, there is no perfect thing in this world, and it is very good to be able to do this." Zhong Yu nodded knowingly, and then said, "Then can you implement the next step?" ”

"Exactly. Adults can send someone to bring a notice and put it around. In addition, you can also go to the state and county governments in the Taihang Mountain area to discuss it, and also post the notice to them, which may have a more obvious effect. Presumably, as long as it wasn't the lard that blinded the heart, those rebellious armies would still be willing to turn back. ”

"Okay, this official will send someone to handle this matter." Zhong Yu said excitedly. Being able to put down this rebellion as soon as possible was a good thing for Shanxi and for the imperial court, and he naturally felt a little anxious.

Yang Zhen nodded, then thought of something again, and said to Zhong Yuyi: "The lower officials still have some things to do, so I will retire for the time being." ”

"There you go." Although Yang Zhen didn't say what he was going to do, Zhong Yu already trusted him extremely much, just nodded and didn't ask more.

After saying goodbye to Zhong Yu, Yang Zhen went straight out of the line, and then went straight to Dongcheng. However, he was not in a hurry to meet his two confidantes this time, the two of them were safe now, and Yang Zhen didn't want others to disturb them before the matter was completely resolved. What he wants to meet are a few other people who have gradually been forgotten - Wen Wan and Yun Xian.

Although great changes have taken place in Datong City, there is not much difference for the small people in the city. And for the gentle women who have always lived in seclusion, this kind of change has never been heard of.

In the past few days, Wen Wan and her daughter's illness has been completely cured, but because they don't know the outside world, they have no idea of leaving here. After all, food and clothing are guaranteed here, which is much better than going out to find relatives, and it is now winter, and it is too difficult to find people on the road.

And since a few months ago, Yang Zhen and the others have not come back again, which makes Wen Wan and them feel that they have been forgotten by everyone, which makes them no longer want to leave this stable environment.

When there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, Yun Xian, who was practicing martial arts in the small courtyard, was taken aback. Then he clenched the stick in his hand, and gently came to the door and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's me, Yang Zhen." Outside the door was a peaceful voice: "Yunxian, open the door." ”

Of course, Yun Xian still remembered this guy who could restrain himself in the blink of an eye, and after a little hesitation, he opened the door and let Yang Zhen in, who had a smile on his face.

At this time, Wen Wan, who was in the room, also heard the sound and walked out. As soon as she saw Yang Zhen, she stepped forward and said, "I've seen Yang Qianhu...... You didn't come back again without saying a word before, and I said you went back to Beijing. ”

Yang Zhen smiled and said casually: "It's just that there was some accident, but now everything has passed." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly fixed on Wen Wan's face: "There has always been a question below, and now it's time for you to give an answer." Who are you? ”
