The Jia family, a noble family, is a microcosm of the entire Dahua noble class, and this great change is ostensibly the result of political struggle, but in essence, it is also its own decay and degeneration to the extreme, and to put it bluntly, it is also self-inflicted.

As the saying goes, a phoenix that has shed its hair is not as good as a chicken. The impact of the Jia family's sudden fall from heaven to the world on the Jia family and the noble class can be imagined, but public opinion in the capital does not have much sympathy except for a few sighs. This may be caused by the bad feeling that Xungui has given people for a long time.

From the moment the plaque of Rongguo Mansion was taken off, the Jia family announced its decline, and Jia Zheng took the initiative to hand over the Grand View Garden to the royal management. Jia Zhen, another branch of the Jia family, spent several days worriedly, and went on a plea to ask for the removal of the title of Duke of Ningguo. The holy decree soon came down, and Ning Guogong was demoted to the Marquis of Anning, and soothed the Jia family by counting the exploits of the ancestors of the Jia family, which can be regarded as a conclusion to the incident of the Jia family.

Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen learned from the pain, and after discussion, they sold most of their properties, dismissed some of their subordinates, and restrained the children of the sect to study diligently, hoping to return to glory one day. Whether the Jia family can make a comeback, people can't see hope from the children of the Jia family in this generation, but because of Han Fei's existence, no one dares to despise the Jia family.

Han Fei knows everything about what happened in the capital, but he doesn't want to intervene, he is a close minister of the emperor and understands the emperor's thoughts, the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the bad behavior of the nobles in the capital, and the Jia family will have an accident sooner or later. It's just that the Jia family unfortunately became the first family to be shot, but it will never be the last. Han Fei believes that the Jia family incident has begun, and it is strange that those officials and officials in the capital are not red-eyed and hold on to the nobles.

Concubine De Niangniang was pregnant, and it was impossible for the emperor to put the Jia family to death, but as Han Fei expected, the Jia family's case was thunderous and rainy, and Jia pardoned one person, confiscated part of the property, and then the title of Duke Rongguo was gone, and Duke Ning Guo also became Marquis of Anning. For the Jia family, this may be a sky-shattering blow, but in Han Fei's opinion, with what the Jia family did, these punishments were too light.

In all fairness, Han Fei didn't have much affection for the Jia family, let alone close, except for the unbreakable blood relationship. Knowing that Jia's mother, Jia Zhengyi, and a few people he cared about were safe and sound, Han Fei put aside the affairs of the Jia family.

The interrogation of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials did not go well, and the collusion with the White Lotus Sect was conclusive, because the evidence was conclusive, and they could not deny it, but they would not let go of the problem of disaster relief money and food. Perhaps, they understand that colluding with the White Lotus Sect is already a capital crime, and if they admit that they are greedy for money and food for disaster relief, they will be punished.

Han Fei handed over the interrogation to the Jinyi Mansion to do, but he himself sent people to go everywhere to call on the displaced people to return to their hometowns to resume production, and at the same time, he was also preparing for a decisive battle with the White Lotus Sect's Southern Heavenly Dharma King.

"Uncle, the Lord has sent news!" Lan'er hurriedly walked into Han Fei's room and handed him a secret letter.

Han Fei opened it and looked at it, and said with great joy: "Okay, this day has finally come!" ”

He burned the secret letter, and then summoned the Jinyi Qianhu and the generals of the army, and said: "Two adults, according to the inside information, the White Lotus Sect Nantian Dharma King has a premonition of the unfavorable situation in Jinghu, and has gathered men and horses in the Wild Wolf Valley to try to raid the Yuezhou Mansion City, our men and horses are scattered out of the city, and tonight we will surround the Wild Wolf Valley by night, and launch a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning, striving to completely annihilate the Nantian Dharma King and his family!" ”

"Obedience!" Jinyi Qianhu and the generals of the army were very excited, this battle, if more than 1,000 people of the White Lotus Sect were annihilated, it would be an indisputable victory, not to mention that there was also an important leader of the White Lotus Sect, the Nantian Dharma King.

Han Fei understood the mood of the two, and said with a smile: "We have 1,500 elite soldiers, and 200 capable Jinyi guards, surpassing our opponents in strength, plus the surprise attack, the certainty of victory is very large, let's strive for a total annihilation!" This official has another good news for you, the inside line will add some ingredients to the White Lotus Sect's meal tonight to reduce their combat effectiveness. ”

"Great, then our army will reduce casualties!"

"Well, the official wishes the two adults a victory, and tomorrow the official will celebrate the success of the two adults!"

The commander of the army and the Jinyi Qianhu led the men and horses, according to the map provided by Han Fei, and rushed to the mountains around the Wild Wolf Valley overnight.

The officers and soldiers quietly arrived at the Wild Wolf Valley to lay in ambush, and when the fourth watch came, the lights in the Wild Wolf Valley were dim, and there was silence, and the commander of the army and the Jinyi Qianhu glanced at each other, and then issued an order for a surprise attack.

"Ah, the enemy attack ......"

"Kill ......"

Wild Wolf Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one exit, shaped like a big pocket, the officers and soldiers block the exit, all the way in, the White Lotus Sect has no way out except for a battle. Because the officers and soldiers attacked suddenly, the White Lotus Sect hurriedly met the battle, and many people were holding their stomachs, their faces were painful, and the battle situation formed a one-sided situation.

The White Lotus Sect in Qiangu was defeated and retreated, and after a while, they were squeezed to the bottom by the officers and soldiers.

At this time, I don't know who shouted, "His Holiness is here!" His Holiness is here! ”

Immediately, a burly man with a long beard brandished a machete and shouted loudly, and the morale of the White Lotus Sect was boosted a lot. But the situation of the enemy and us is irreversible, the officers and soldiers are the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp, and there are many of them, where can the rabble of the White Lotus Sect be compared?

The Jinyi Qianhu and the generals of the army took the lead, and the officers and soldiers were like rainbows, and it almost became a one-sided massacre.

Knowing that the general trend had gone, the Southern Heavenly Dharma King led the backbone to try to rush out of the Wild Wolf Valley, but after a while, he was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the victory was in hand, the Jinyi Qianhu and the commander of the army immediately shouted: "Disarm and don't kill!" ”

Han Fei was very concerned about this battle to exterminate the White Lotus Sect's Southern Heavenly Law King, so he got up before dawn, ate some breakfast hastily, and waited for news in the lobby of Qincha Xingyuan.

When the sun had just risen, a fast horse galloped into the city and rushed to the Qin Cha Xingyuan, and the knights on the horse rushed to the hall and shouted loudly: "Report, our army has won a complete victory, completely annihilated the White Lotus Sect's Nantian Dharma King Department, beheaded the Nantian Dharma King and other major leaders, as well as more than 500 White Lotus Cultists, and captured more than 400 White Lotus Cultists!" ”

Although Han Fei expected to achieve victory, he was still very happy when he heard the news of the victory, and immediately ordered: "Count the results of the battle and report the victory to the capital!" ”

As soon as the south gate of the capital was opened, a sergeant holding high the red banner of victory flew into the city gate, shouting all the way, "Jinghu is a great victory, and the official army has completely annihilated more than 1,000 White Lotus disciples!" ”

Today's early dynasty, as in the past, first discussed several important military matters, and then the imperial historian impeached the nobles of the capital. Since the success of the impeachment of the Jia family by the imperial historian Peiguang, the nobles of the capital have become the fat of the imperial historians, and they have to take turns to toss almost every morning in the morning, and the emperor's intentional or unintentional indulgence has fueled the arrogance of the imperial historians. As a result, batch after batch of noble families were punished by the law.

A royal historian came out of class with a fold and was about to start speaking, when suddenly the guards on duty outside the hall hurriedly entered the hall and played: "Qiqi Shengshang, Jinghu Xuanfu has sent good news!" ”

"Quick!" The emperor hurriedly ordered.

The sergeant of Baojie entered the hall and bowed to the ground, and with both hands raised the report of the Jiejie Zhang, he played: "Qiqi Shengshang, Jinghu is a great victory, the officers and soldiers have completely annihilated more than 1,000 White Lotus Sect disciples, and more than 200 major leaders such as the Southern Heavenly Dharma King of the White Lotus Sect have been beheaded!" ”

As soon as the news came out, the hall was full of exclamations, and Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, frowned, and glanced at an official behind him, who immediately stepped out of the ranks and reprimanded the sergeant Baojie: "Nonsense, how can there be so many White Lotus Sect disciples?" This good news is very suspicious, I'm afraid it's either killing good people or falsely reporting the number of people! ”
