Chapter 433: Got Up
On the soil slope, in addition to Han Mo, there were more than a dozen officials such as Eunuch Ling, among which the highest status was Xiao Huaijin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry who rushed to Xichun from the front yesterday.
Looking at the thousands of people from the He clan, Xiao Huaijin had a strange expression, and the look in his eyes was also extremely complicated.
Han Mo was beside him, looking at Xiao Huaijin's strange expression, he just sneered in his heart, he was naturally able to roughly guess Xiao Huaijin's current thoughts.
The He clan secretly stored enough materials and equipment to launch a large-scale rebellion, which even the Xiao family did not know, and it was absolutely impossible to say that the Xiao family was not angry in their hearts. After all, in the eyes of the Xiao family, the He family is a dog behind their buttocks, and their own dog secretly hides bones in the back, but the owner doesn't know a trace of faith, which is unacceptable for the Xiao family.
Although they were angry, for the Xiao family, the fall of the He family was equivalent to cutting off one of their arms, which was even more unacceptable to them in their hearts.
With the He family following behind, the Xiao family has always had an absolutely strong position in the Yan Kingdom, even if it is the old rival Su family, in terms of overall strength, it is difficult to match the Xiao He Alliance.
However, the fall of the He family led to the collapse of the Xiao He Alliance, and the strength of the Xiao family declined significantly.
In addition to the Su family, more importantly, unconsciously, the status of the Han family has soared dramatically in this year.
The collapse of several other great families has given the Han family more power in the court, and the Han family is about to marry and form an alliance with the Fan family, and there is a Hu family that has been friends for generations behind them, so that three major groups have been formed in the DPRK and China.
The Xiao Group, the Su Group and the alliance led by the Han family, once the three Han Fan and Hu families officially join forces, then they will have the strength to compete with the other two families.
This kind of situation, before the battle of Bozhou County, was unimaginable.
For the Xiao family, the fall of the He family, in addition to the He family itself, the Xiao family suffered the most.
"Lord Han, you have made a great contribution this time!" Xiao Huaijin's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to glance at Han Mo: "After returning to Beijing, he will definitely be an official and a knight, and his future is limitless!" β
Han Mo said with a smile: "Lord Shangshu has won the award, in terms of merit, Lord Shangshu's credit this time is incomparable." If it weren't for the leadership of Lord Shangshu, the disaster in Yichun would not have been able to be controlled so quickly, and the people would not have been able to return to the countryside so soon and live again after the disaster! β
When Xiao Huaijin heard this, his originally gloomy face actually showed a little smugness.
This time, he led the people of the Ministry of Works, and he really did some practical things in the front.
The Xiao family was able to accumulate strong strength step by step in the country of Yan, a country where the family was in power, in addition to being good at playing tricks, another reason was that the Xiao family had always known the importance of doing practical things.
Xiao Taishi sternly told Xiao Huaijin this time, no matter what, he must take the lead and go all out to carry out the flood fighting affairs, and it is precisely because of this that Xiao Huaijin is on the front line, although he may not have done much in the entire flood fighting affairs, but in the front, that lot of credit will naturally be counted on him.
There is no doubt that Xiao Huaijin has made great contributions to the success of this flood relief campaign, and when it spreads, people will say that Xiao Huaijin personally went to the front line, was not afraid of danger, and finally succeeded in fighting the flood.
In this way, the prestige and prestige of the Xiao family among the people will naturally increase dramatically, at least there will be many people in Yichun County who will miss Xiao Huaijin's contributions.
Those who silently paid countless blood, sweat, hardships, and even lives for the flood fight will naturally not come to the stage, and those who have merit are, of course, those leaders who shout trumpets.
In addition to the great prestige of the people, another fundamental benefit is that the Xiao family has the bargaining chips to ask for merit in the imperial court, and with such great merit, coupled with the means of Taishi Xiao, it is naturally very easy to take some interests in the imperial court.
So the smug look on Xiao Huaijin's face couldn't be hidden.
Situ Jing behind him also wanted to come forward and sing a few words of praise, but when he saw Han Mo beside him, he didn't dare.
When the gossip was exposed and the He clan was facing annihilation, Situ Jing's heart at that time was as desperate as ashes, in his opinion, he had been entangled with the He clan, embarrassed, and he even helped the He clan to loot the people's fat and ointment, and did countless despicable and shameless things, and he had a lot of handles in the He clan...... Especially in the hands of He Xuezhi, he is only afraid that this time he will be destroyed with the He clan, and he will not escape death.
When several officials from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department arrived in Yichun from Beijing and announced the crime of the He people's rebellion, Situ Jing was also trembling at that time, his heart was cold, and he only felt that the end was coming.
But in the will that came, from beginning to end, Situ Jing was not declared guilty, and there was not even a word of reprimand, but only that Situ Jing led the Yichun officials to work loyally and deal with the aftermath of the disaster.
Situ Jing was like running out of the ghost gate, and after the will was announced, he found that he was in a cold sweat.
On that day, there was another extremely strange thing, He Xuezhi's study, which stored a large amount of criminal evidence, suddenly caught fire and was burned down.
The Imperial Forest Army, who was present at the time, did not extinguish the fire in time for some reason, and by the time the officials from Beijing arrived, the study had been reduced to ashes, and many of the things in it were also destroyed.
What Situ Jing is most worried about is that the Beijing officials find out the evidence that is unfavorable to him from the study, because he knows that he has followed He Xuezhi for so many years and has done countless immoral things, and He Xuezhi must have stored a large number of handles in order to control himself, and those handles are in the study.
The study was burned, and Situ Jing's incriminating evidence almost disappeared, as for some empty and unsubstantiated incriminating evidence, Situ Jing was confident that he could deal with it.
He just wondered why this study had been burned to ashes at this time.
When he saw Han Mo's strange smile standing in front of the broken bricks, he immediately understood that this fire was put by Han Mo according to the instructions sent by Han Mo, and as for some of the evidence in the study, I am afraid that it would have already arrived in Han Mo's hands.
Situ Jing had to admit that his future was caught in Han Mo's hands again, and Han Mo had the ability and evidence to beat him to the ground at any time.
As for the aftermath, Han Mo's explanation for the fire in the study was very simple, it was a clichΓ© and grandiose explanation that the enemy country spies secretly set fire to and wanted to disturb the order of Xichun, but no one could refute it.
Situ Jing soon knew that Jingzhong did not pull himself into the He clan and did not do anything to himself, it is said that it was because Han Xuandao, the secretary of the household department, tried to protect himself in front of the emperor.
He began to understand that unconsciously, he might have become a pawn of the Han family in the future, and he had no ability to get rid of this fate at all.
He was afraid of the Xiao family's revenge, and wanted to take advantage of this time to curry favor with Xiao Huaijin, so that he could really be safe in the future, but looking at Han Mo's handsome and delicate face, somehow, that beautiful face made him feel a chill deep into his bone marrow every time he saw it.
If Han Mo was angry in order to curry favor with Xiao Huaijin, it would be more than worth the loss, so he could only hold back and sigh in his heart: "That's it, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so be it!" β
Since the Han family has seized the future, it is better to stand in line honestly.
Zhuge Min looked up at the sky, twilight fell, and there was a chill in the air, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the time has come ......!" β
Xiao Huaijin's brows furrowed even tighter, he groaned for a while, and finally said, "Give the order!" β
Zhuge Min took two steps forward and waved his hand at the soldier not far in front, and the soldier immediately received the order, turned over his horse, and waved the flag in his hand, which was an order to execute.
If it is a normal execution, it is to blow the trumpet, but this time the execution, the officials think that the more low-key the better, after all, the slaughter of thousands of people at one time, most of them are only innocent people implicated, after all, it is extremely cruel.
There are thousands of soldiers around, all of whom bend bows and arrows, and execute thousands of prisoners at once, and bows and arrows are naturally the best weapons.
Seeing the arrows aimed at them, the people of the He clan howled, roared, and cursed, and some people wanted to break free from the rope and make the last struggle, and some people had already rushed forward, and the desire for life made them want to escape from the encirclement of the iron armor.
With a wave of the flag, arrows were fired, like raindrops, piercing the sky, piercing the chests and throats of the weeping, and falling in patches like wheat to be harvested.
Rushing near the encirclement, their own soldiers pierced their chests with cold spears and cut off their heads with large knives.
The howls became smaller and smaller, the corpses piled up more and more, and the tragedies in the world were staged again and again in the land of Yan Kingdom.
Many of the officials on the dirt slope turned their heads, and Eunuch Ling was even more weak, if it weren't for an official next to him to support him, he was afraid that he would be paralyzed.
The smell of blood was in the air, floating in the air and drifting around with the wind.
Han Mo saw the bloody scene and smelled the bloody smell, and finally felt that his endurance was still not enough, he already had the feeling of vomiting, but he couldn't help himself.
Of course, he knew that among these thousands of people, more than 80 percent of them were innocent He people, and there were even many good people among them, and there were many talented and moral people, but cutting the grass and eradicating the roots was the tradition of the Yan Kingdom.
The demise of a family is justified by blood!
Han Mo closed his eyes, he felt that his hands were a little shaking, although he wanted to see the destruction of the He clan, although he had a strong will and ruthless methods, but he was flesh and blood after all, looking at the tragic scene, listening to the heart-rending wail, his mood was not heavy.
"Let all this disappear from the land of Yan Kingdom as soon as possible!" Han Mo prayed secretly in his heart.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
It's May, the flood in Yichun County has receded, and the dam of the Dachang River has been temporarily blocked, but this dike is obviously not strong enough, and if the flood of the Dachang River does not threaten the people in the future, this dike will naturally have to be rebuilt.
However, that is not what Han Mo wants to care about, what he needs to care about now is to maintain local security and order.
Because of the gossip trapped in the grain reserves, the disaster relief food for the victims is not very lacking, the two counties that were flooded, after the flood receded, some places can be rebuilt after the disaster, and the victims suddenly returned to their hometowns in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the government.
Han Mo's affairs have not been busy in the past few days, but some things have happened from time to time, so he doesn't have time to go to the Nameless Temple.
The Guards also knew that the flood was nearing its end, and that the Guards were soon able to fulfill their duties, and that soon the city defenders would be enough to maintain order in the area.
The He family, which has been entrenched in Yichun County for nearly a hundred years, has disappeared from the land of Yichun unbelievably, and the people are naturally discussing, right and wrong, and they are guessing and discussing in private.
On this night, after Han Mo explained some things to several subordinates, the tiredness of the past few days accumulated, making him feel tired, according to the plan, at the latest three or five days, the Royal Forest Army could withdraw to Yanjing, and the excerpt had already gone up, just waiting for the order of the military department.
In the last few days, we still have to hold on.
Although Situ Jing diligently arranged a place for Han Mo to live, Han Mo still liked the atmosphere in the barracks, and he still lived in the barracks in Guancang, and the big tent was also very comfortable.
Leaning back in his chair, Han Mo squinted and seemed to be asleep.
It was just a very light footsteps, which made him open his eyes slightly, his big tent, without his own permission, no one was allowed to enter without permission, and who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard, and rushed into his tent in the middle of the night in the third watch.
He didn't move, but he opened a slit in his eyes, but he saw that a figure had entered the tent like a civet cat, wearing the armor of the Imperial Foresters, but without a sword.
The figure was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Han Mo's side, stretched out a hand, and was about to touch Han Mo, but at this moment, he saw Han Mo's figure flash, and he disappeared from the chair and swept to the side.
Han Mo thought that his flash would definitely surprise the other party, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to restrain the other party, who knew that the other party's figure was even more ghostly, and that person's figure was also flashing, Han Mo was surprised, and he felt a delicate voice coming from behind him: "Little bastard, where are you hiding?" β
The voice was crisp and soft, Han Mo heard the voice and sighed lightly: "Why are you dressed like this...... In the middle of the night, a woman got into a man's tent...... What do you want? β
Of course he could hear that it was none other than Yan Xue Ji!
Yan Xueji had already pasted it up from behind, blowing like an orchid, her fragrant lips were close to Han Mo's ears, blowing the fragrant breeze, and said in a greasy voice: "Isn't this beautiful?" The faint fragrance on her body penetrated into Han Mo's nose, making people feel upset.
Although she was wearing heavy armor, Yan Xueji's body was still like a snake, writhing in the back, and her two hands had been looped from behind to the front, stroking Han Mo's chest: "Little bastard, people miss you, you ...... Did you miss me? β
When Yan Xueji writhed, the armor on her upper body gradually loosened, the armor on her chest slid down, and the pair of plump ** was attached to Han Mo's back, rubbing gently, Han Mo soon felt that the two red beans on ** had stood up.
Han Mo took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Are you trying to harm me?" β
"What did I do to you?" Yan Xueji ate and smiled, leaned to Han Mo's ear, and whispered: "Do you miss me, say it quickly!" β
"What do you say?"
"I don't know, I want you to tell me!" Yan Xueji's voice was bewitching, and her plump breasts were extremely firm, rubbing against Han Mo's back, making Han Mo feel indescribably comfortable.
Han Mo turned his head slightly, Yan Xueji's charming face was right in front of him, smiling like a flower, seducing the soul, and the beautiful eyes that were about to drip out of the water were full of charms.
What a fox-like stunner!
Han Mo said softly: "I think, I miss you!" β
Yan Xue Ji giggled, "Where do you miss me?" β
"What do you say?"
"It's ...... in my heart!" Yan Xue Ji stroked Han Mo's chest, and then her jade hand slid down, and she actually grabbed Han Mo's words suddenly, because of her seduction, Han Mo had already reacted, Yan Xue Ji raised a **, circled it to the front, and grabbed it with her hand, ** rubbed it against the root of her leg, and her voice was sweet and soft: "Still here...... Little bastard, look at it...... It's all up! β
p Volume 5 "Wind and Forest Terror" begins, why it is this name, will not be explained for the time being. The first chapter of this volume always has to be more effective in terms of word count.
Well, there is no doubt that the glory of embarking on the fifth volume together will be a very tortuous and interesting chapter!
