Hedong County, known as Hedong because it is located east of the Yellow River, is the cradle of Chinese civilization.

Its governing place is Anyi, known as the capital of King Yu.

There is only one top family in this county, and it is the great lord of the world, which is the Wei family.

Wei's origin is the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is after Uncle Kang, when Uncle Kang was named Wei Yiguo, sent Yan Hedong, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wei Guo was annexed by Qin, and the descendants of the Wei Gong clan took the name of the old country as the surname, and passed down the surname Wei from generation to generation.

During the period of Emperor Wu, Hou Weiqing of Changping was a member of this clan, and Empress Wei Zifu of Xiaowusi was also a member of the Wei clan, so after that, the Wei clan began to move towards the road of revival.

For 400 years, Wei's has been protected by the Han family all the year round, coupled with a solid heritage, and is a famous family of poetry and books, hundreds of years of great development, Wei has become a landlord in a county in Hedong.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, when the first emperor was still in power, Dong Zhongying stationed troops in Hedong without authorization.

And the Wei family did not want to repay the great kindness of the Han family to their family for four hundred years, but strongly supported Dong Zhuo.

Because the local first family Wei took the initiative to kneel and lick Dong Zhuo, the heroes of Hedong County followed suit and brought troops and grain to Dong Zhuo.

For a time, Dong Zhuo not only had a strong armed force, but also the support of local powerful grain and grass ordnance. With such a strong strength, Dong Zhongying's ambition is extremely inflated.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, the first emperor died, and the general He Jin competed with the ten permanent servants, and Dong Zhuo, who had a strong army in Hedong, was instigated by his son-in-law Li Ruzhi, and the second was instructed by Wei Qi, the head of the Wei clan, to persuade him to send troops to Luoyang as soon as possible.

So Dong Zhuocai made up his mind to send troops south to control the Beijing Division.

The Wei family, because of this work, has received extreme courtesy from Dong Zhuo, and of course, there are rich rewards. Time. The Wei family not only sits on hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, but also tens of thousands of hired farmers at home for them to drive.

As the saying goes, ill-gotten gains are not to be taken; If you take it, it will often be astigmatized overnight. The situation of the Wei clan is generally the same.

Zhongping for six years. In the remnants of the Yellow Turban in the Baibo Valley of the West River, the revival of the Baibo Army swept through the entire Hedong County, and the number once reached more than 100,000.

At that time, Wei Qi, who was the county guard, saw that the Bai Bo army was powerful, and the mercenary farmers in the city had suffered from the persecution of their Wei family, and they had the intention of uniting the army outside the city to rebel in one fell swoop, so Wei Kai took advantage of the night to take the family with the old and the young. Leaving behind the city full of soldiers and civilians and fleeing.

In this way, those good land slaves were naturally abandoned.

Later, after Niu Fu's pacification, the Wei family returned to Hedong from the new, and Dong Zhuo did not blame Wei Kai for abandoning the city, but rewarded them with the previous good land again, so that the Wei family was grateful to Dade.

Because of such a monstrous kindness from Dong Zhuo, Wei Kai was greatly moved and excited in his heart. So he hung a portrait of Dong Zhuo at home, and he had to kneel down in the morning and evening. to repay their people for the favor they have received.

After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the three counties of Sanfu and the first county of Hongnong were all vigorously magnanimous, but only in Hedong County, the interests of the landlords were not offended in the slightest. Unexpectedly, he was rewarded by Dong Zhuo again.

Just when the Hedong Wei clan thought that the power of their clan would continue to rise, and it could even approach the power of the former Changping Hou Weiqing.

The news that Dong Zhuo was killed by the Son of Heaven in Dinghu Palace, along with the news that their protector Niu Fu was killed by Xu Rongzhen, spread in the land of Hedong.

Patriarch Wei Kai. After listening to it, he was so frightened that he trembled, and after a few moments, he directly moved the ladder, took down the portrait of Dong Zhuo hanging in the hall, stepped on it fiercely, and then raised an open fire to burn it, wanting to destroy the corpse.

Wei Kai didn't think about it, and he took his people to leave Hedong and go to Hanoi, but they were really reluctant to be enslaved by those good fields.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land can enroll nearly 10,000 homeless households, and Wei's, as the master's family, can treat their wives and daughters as handmaidens and bully them at will, what a beautiful joy this is for Wei's!

The Wei family, on the one hand, did not want to abandon such a wonderful life, and on the other hand, they felt that they should not be punished after their merits.

Just when their clan was undecided, the Son of Heaven issued a recruitment order, which relieved them that the Son of Heaven of the Han family had no intention of moving them.

As a result, they are still immersed in bullying the domestic peasants, while playing with the "good" life of their wives and daughters.

"Father, there is a report from Chang'an, and the report is about Cai Yan's slut~~~"

From the cuff, Wei Shi handed a bamboo slip to Wei Kai.

"Wow~~~"

Unfolded it and looked at it carefully, after a few moments, Wei Kai, who was nearly fifty years old, had a gleam in his eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Very good, now the reputation of this vixen has been completely ruined, even if she enters the palace as a nobleman, she will not be favored."

As a young son, Wei Shi, the corners of his mouth raised an arc, and a trace of invisible coldness emanated: "Father is wise, now the reputation of this slut is not as good as cow dung~~~"

"What Kefu's life, the Heavenly Evil Lone Star; What fox spirit is reincarnated, specializing in absorbing male essence; What kind of obscene women, all the strong men in the boudoir~~~"

"In Chang'an City, from hundreds of officials to ordinary people, in addition to celebrating Dong Xiang's death, the most talked about is this slut."

"Good!"

Wei Kai touched his long beard, and there was no wind automatically: "Two years ago, it was this slut who killed my son Zhongdao." ”

"Back then, I remembered that her father Cai Yong was a great Confucian in the world and had a very good reputation, so I held back the anger in my heart for my father, and did not kill this slut directly, but let her return home to observe the festival, and die of loneliness and old age for the rest of her life!"

"I didn't expect that! As soon as Cai Bojiao cried, he let this slut turn the tables and become a nobleman in the palace~~~"

Speaking of this, Wei Kai felt that there was an anger burning in his heart, his face turned blue, and his eyes flashed with a devouring light: "You must not let her gain the favor of the Son of Heaven, otherwise my son Zhongdao will be difficult to live under the Nine Springs!" ”

"So my father, I sent people to Chang'an City, walked the rumors, tarnished the good name of the Cai family, and made the Son of Heaven disgusted her, is it to let her be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life and die of depression?"

A man in a fine silk robe in ice blue rushed in angrily outside the door, and his smooth and white face showed an angular coldness.

"Not bad! Since she can't be buried with your eldest brother, her father wants this slut, and life is better than death! ”

"Ha~~~Ha"

The man in the ice blue robe suddenly laughed and shook his head vigorously: "Father, it's really a good plan, but there is only one concern, will the Son of Heaven be tricked?" ”

"The second brother's words are too much! The Son of Heaven is young, but he is only thirteen years old, and when he named Cai Yan, the fox spirit, as a nobleman, he just wanted to win the heart of the Xiliang army. Once the position of the Son of Heaven is secured, how can he be gracious to this widow again? And she is five years older than the Son of Heaven~~~"

"Father, don't be too proud of the third brother, don't you know about the Du Tian Ling?"

The man in blue threw out a difficult problem again.

"My father thinks that the recruitment order has already shown that the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards the family is the same as that of Emperor Guangwu back then, and he will focus on relying on the power of the wealthy family to determine the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty~~~"

"Father's words are wonderful!" The youngest son, Wei Shi, gave a thumbs up to his father Wei Kai and praised: "Although the Son of Heaven is not in the court, he loves the meaning of the family, and you can see the clues from this recruitment order." ”

"In the past, if the children of the family wanted to be officials, they needed to be filial piety and honesty, etc., not to mention it for a long time, and it was extremely troublesome. Tonight, the Son of Heaven ordered to recruit talents, skip the steps of filial piety and honesty, as long as you pass the exam, you can become an official, isn't this the gospel of our son? ”

"The son of a poor family, I haven't read a few books, where is the enemy of the children of the wealthy?" After listening to the young son's words, Wei Kai's mood became a little happy: "As my father expected, most of the people who can be recruited as virtuous talents this time are from the family!" ”

"Haha, my father is wise~~~"

Flicking his sleeves, the man in blue went out angrily, wanting to stay away from the Wei family, who was incompatible with him.

Today's conversation made Wei Kai's heart feel at ease, and then the desire that had been latent erupted, only to see Wei Kai pull the servant girl who was waiting beside him, and put his hands up and down: "Who is your husband?" ”

"If you go back to the master, the slave husband is Xu Hei, the one who often cooks for the master."

Hooking the handmaid's chin, the corners of Wei Kai's mouth were smiling ~ lewd smile: "Serve a good master tonight, and there will be countless rewards in the future!" ”

The woman nodded shyly and hurried out of the room.

After going out, the maidservant leaned her back against the door and window, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, the deed of sale had been signed, what else could she do? (To be continued.) )
