Chapter 42 Yanyang He Family
Yanyang, located in the north-southwest of the Qi Kingdom, has a wide road to and fro, making it one of the roads leading to the eastern region within the empire, and its strategic location is extremely rare. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, this city is the second largest city in the north of Qi Kingdom, and it has been controlled by elite soldiers sent by the empire for many years to prevent the sneak attack of bandits.
Among the smoke and sun, the most powerful local forces are naturally the target of Jin Yu's trip, the He family!
Due to the He family's domineering monopoly, nearly 40% of the industries in Yanyang belong to the He family, and they make profits every year, even after removing some necessary taxes and a lot of money to open up the relationship, the He family still has a lot of harvest and has long occupied the position of the first wealthy family in Yanyang.
Although it is said that the tree is big and easy to attract wind, but relying on the high-rise building of Tianbo Yang Mansion as the backstage, even the Yanyang Thorn Envoy will not easily come to trouble the He family.
Therefore, under such unscrupulous development and expansion, the He family has almost become the soil emperor of Yanyang, and no one dares to offend it.
There are three other families in Yanyang City that contain him, but even so, in recent years, the He family has relied on a strong backstage to rise rapidly, steadily suppressing the three major families under him, and dominating Yanyang with a unique overlord posture.
After two days of non-stop travel, the three of Jin Yu finally gradually approached Yanyang.
The sun was slowly setting in the sky, and the outline of a huge city that exuded an ancient and extraordinary momentum appeared at the end of the sight of the three of them.
In the afterglow of the sunset in the sky, the ancient city a hundred meters away is like a high mountain perseverance on the earth, dignified and majestic.
Zhu Tianxiong looked into the distance, looking at the appearance of this familiar city that had been absent for a long time, and this trip could wash away the charges on his body, and he could live in Qi openly from now on.
The three of them slowed down their horses along the wide road towards the towering and solemn city not far away, and walked slowly.
The guards of the city gate were erected on both sides of the city wall, and the passers-by who were casually scanning back and forth, Zhu Tianxiong was wearing a black robe with a canopy, and the black canopy hanging down from his head made it impossible to cut his true appearance.
Walking to the city gate, Zhu Tianxiong and Jin Yu glanced at each other, then lifted the black cloak, and walked naturally to the city with a natural expression.
Since he left Yanyang for more than a year, his beard has grown and he has not shaved, his hair is more casually tied, his face has become more vicissitudes, and the official clothes he used to wear have also been replaced by black robes, and the guards have not paid close attention to him.
The three of them entered the city smoothly, "Next, we will go directly to the Assassin Mansion to overturn the case for Brother Zhu!" After entering the city, Zhang Yanqing said to the two.
The two nodded, and Zhu Tianxiong led them to the direction of the Thorn Mansion, and the three of them led the horses and were about to move forward, but there were bursts of horses' hooves not far behind them.
I turned my head, but I saw that not far away, several men and women on horses were galloping towards it, and the pedestrians along the way hurriedly avoided it, and the dust rolled up by the horses flew wantonly.
Although the pedestrians were angry in their hearts, they immediately forcibly swallowed it when they saw the people on the horse.
Among this group of people, the leader was a young girl, the girl was handsome, graceful, indescribably fresh and refined, wearing a bright red tight-fitting robe, and her long black hair was as smooth as a waterfall and as soft as silk.
There is a string of pearls hanging in the girl's strength, her face is white and tender, like cream, her cheeks are beautiful, and there are a few delicate smiles on the corners of her mouth, which makes her a little more agile.
The girl in red did not slow down because she was driving a horse and causing trouble to others, and after a glance out of the corner of her eye, she rode her horse on her own, leading a group of people behind her, and continued to rampage forward in full view of everyone.
The clattering of horses' hooves faded away, and only then did some dissatisfied invective sound from the crowd.
"What's so proud, isn't it just relying on your identity as the eldest lady of the He family!"
"Damn, when the He family loses power one day, let's see if she can catch up with it."
"Yes, that's right, when you fall out of favor one day, the Yang family will kick your He family sooner or later."
“……”
Listening to the low and continuous scolding sound around him, Jin Yu smiled faintly, stared at the direction where the girl was gone, tidied up his clothes, and the three of them led the horse in the direction of the Thorn Mansion.
Along the way, Jin Yu looked up at the dense shops on both sides of the street, the rather beautiful shops and the endless flow of pedestrians on the street, and couldn't help but sigh, this kind of prosperity is the first time he has seen it since he went north to Jinan, and he didn't expect that there is such a rich city standing in the barren north of Qi country.
Walking on the street, Jin Yu rubbed his ears that were a little uncomfortable by the noisy shouts of the market, and the continuous running made his face flush with a trace of tiredness that could not be concealed, rubbed his temples and said: "Let's go quickly, and when we finish dealing with Brother Zhu's affairs, we will find a place to rest." ”
"Well, that's fine." Hearing this, Zhang Yanqing nodded slightly, the continuous rush itself consumed him greatly, and he would naturally not object to it if he could finish it as soon as possible and go to rest.
Seeing Zhang Yanqing nodding, Zhu Tianxiong had no opinion, and the three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the Assassin's Mansion.
Walking all the way, there are many colorful shops around, and after passing through a street, Jin Yu smashed his mouth and exclaimed: "More than half of this street is marked with the word "He" plaque, it seems that people say that the He family is the soil emperor of Yanyang, and they are really right. ”
"Originally, there were still a few forces in the officialdom mall that could compete with him, but when the He family took up the Tianbo Mansion, it was indeed the better it became, and it gradually formed today's climate." Zhu Tianxiong looked around and nodded.
"Brother Zhu, don't worry, my family and the Yang family are world friends, and what you do is a good thing to punish adultery and eliminate evil, I will definitely help you clear your name." Jin Yu rubbed his chin and said with a smile.
"Hmm!"
The three quickened their pace. Soon arrived at the Yanyang Thorn Mansion. After Zhu Tianxiong's footsteps slowly stopped, Jin Yu Zhang Yanqing's footsteps stopped.
With a sweep of his eyes, he saw the Thorn History Mansion in front of him, and Zhu Tianxiong pointed to the house in front of him meaningfully and said, "That's the Thorn History Mansion." ”
"Okay." Both nodded slightly.
The eyes of the three swept in front of the Assassin's Mansion, worthy of a big city. Even the Assassin's Mansion is so magnanimous.
Zhang Yanqing stepped forward and knocked on the closed door. Soon the door opened slightly, and a somewhat beautiful maid came out of it.
The maid looked at them, and saw that the young man among the three of them was dressed extraordinarily, and he should have always been the son of a family somewhere, so she said sweetly: "I don't know what happened to the three of them!" ”
Zhang Yanqing replied: "Girl, we are from Jinan, and we have important matters to discuss with your master, I don't know if I can report it." ”
"I just want to wonder why the local adults came to my lord today, it turns out that you are from other places!" The girl chuckled and said, "You don't know, today is the 80th birthday of the rich businessman He family in this city, and the old lady He went to the He family in the morning to celebrate the old lady's birthday." ”
Shook his head slightly, it was really unfortunate to come, the Yanyang Thorn Shi happened to go to He's house, after Zhang Yanqing thanked the maid, the three of them discussed for a while, and finally decided to go to He's house to have a look.
After all, if you want to solve the matter of Zhu Tianxiong, sooner or later you will still face the He family, it is better to go and solve it as soon as possible, just so that you can quickly return to Jinan and follow the northern army to crusade against the increasingly powerful thieves in Yulong Mountain.
In "Tianjiao", it is recorded that the Qi army dispatched three times before and after completely pulling out the iron nail of the Jade Dragon Thief Kou from the Qi State.
The opportunity she has been waiting for is right in front of her, if she can assist Yu Yongnian and others to eradicate this gang of thieves this time, it will also be beneficial for him to become a marquis as soon as possible.
The record of the youngest marquis in the history of the Qi State is twenty-two years old, and what Jin Yu wants is to be a marquis five years later, before the age of twenty-one.
Because only the feudal marquis can have an army that belongs to him completely, and only in this way can he cultivate his own people.
Since Lord Thorn Shi went to He's house to celebrate his birthday, the three of them thanked the little maid and left, and Zhu Tianxiong led the path straight to He's house.
When I was about to arrive at Hefu, I could hear the whispers of the people all the way.
"Wow! It's really a big show, and the He family really deserves to be the first family in Yanyang. ”
"I heard that today's old lady's 80th birthday, our big people in Yanyang are here, and even many nearby families have sent people to celebrate."
"Also, the old lady's second son, who is now the deputy general of Anbang Huyang Danian, has also returned from Jinling!"
In the whispered discussion and echo of the surrounding people, the three of them finally walked to the lively He Mansion.
