Chapter 100: The Problem of Questions
Such a big battle is still aimed at the Wu clan, is it not a threat, or a temptation?
Zhongqi has always thought that he is very smart, but he still doesn't understand it.
But since the eldest lady let herself listen to this eunuch, then he listened.
"General Xiao Qi, what did Madame ask you to do, you know?" I didn't ask.
Zhongqi said heartily: "I know, let me do everything to your orders." ”
didn't say that Mrs. had any instructions for him, and he could still figure out what he was going to do, but he didn't smile, this young general was clever and likable, no wonder he could mix like a fish in water in Henan Road.
"Madame wants to destroy the Wu clan and bulldoze this city." Before he finished speaking, he pointed in the direction of Shangwu City, "But what you have to do is to be silent and push the boat down the river." ”
Zhong Qi looked at him seriously and attentively with a pair of big eyes.
Before he finished, he continued: "Then it is the best way to let the Wu clan destroy themselves by themselves. ”
Zhong Qi asked at the right time: "Sir, you mean to let them fight among themselves?" Can we show that this move can tempt them to fight? ”
"There is no strong city under this world, and there are no inseparable people." Before he could say anything, he stood up and looked at Shangwu City through the window, the people in this city can murder the city lord for the sake of profit, and of course they can also murder any of them, "Our move is to let them know that we dare to surround the Wu clan's house, dare to investigate the Wu clan's people, and if someone really has a problem, we will also dare to kill him." ”
Zhong Qi understood: "Then let them know that they can report and frame others." ”
"This clan is too big, there are too many people, everyone wants to occupy more family property, but there is only so much family property, and if you want more, you have to rob others." "So General Xiao Qi, what you have to do is to be both amiable and vicious." ”
The attitude of respect for the famous Wu clan, but the Wu clan people who have made mistakes and crimes must be iron-faced and selfless, dare to arrest, dare to fight, and dare to kill.
Zhong Qi grinned and patted his chest: "What a coincidence, I am such a person." ”
Wei smiled: "Then the outside will be handed over to General Xiao Qi, and the inside of Shangwu City will be handed over to me." ”
Zhong Qi pinched his chin and thought: "Then who will Han Xu Han hand over?" ”
Han Xu is not easy to fool, if he sees that he is targeting the Wu family.....
"Lord Han doesn't have to worry about it." Wei said, "Lord Han is a pure minister like a stone, as long as what we do is beneficial to the court and His Majesty, he will not refuse." ”
How can it be beneficial to His Majesty and the imperial court? Of course, the people in the city are stable, the guards are strong and strong, and the official treasury has sufficient food, grass, money and materials......
The night enveloped Songzhou City, dispelling the hustle and bustle of the day.
The main hall in the mansion was lit up, the door was open, and at a glance you could see Han Xu sitting busy inside, Zhong Qi rushed from outside the gate to this side, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was blocked by a person flashing in the shadows.
"What's the matter?" Nakazato Road.
Zhongqi was almost overturned by Zhongli, and shouted aggrievedly, "Lord Han." ”
Han Xu didn't look up: "Is it General Xiao Qi?" Let him in. ”
Zhongli got out of the way, and Zhongqi grinned at him and made a face, jumping in three steps and two steps.
"Your Excellency." Zhong Qi looked left and right, and whispered while holding the table.
Han Xu still didn't look up: "If you have something to say, don't be sneaky, this is the Weizhou of Great Xia, not where the rebels are." ”
Zhong Qi sighed, stood up straight, and said loudly: "Master Wu Jiu sent a cart of gifts, saying that it was for adults. ”
Han Xu raised his head.
Zhongqi looked at him with a wink.
Han Xu asked, "There are no spies among those suspicious people who have been taken in by the Wu clan, right?" ”
Zhongqi nodded: "It's clear, there's no problem." ”
Since there is no problem with the person taken in by Master Wu Jiu, there is no crime or mistake in that person, Han Xu is a member of the incorruptible court, and the gift is .....
"Take it." Han Xu said, lowered his head and continued to read the paperwork.
Zhongqi sighed, and leaned closer to the table and whispered: "Then I'll send the adult to the room." ”
Han Xu shook his head: "Go and give the warehouse official of the official treasury and let him collect and register and confiscate it." ”
Zhongqi's eyes were shining: "My lord, you are really high-spirited!" ”
Han Xu flipped through a page of documents and said: "What kind of high-spirited festival is this, but there is no way, there are too many beggars and homeless people inside and outside Songzhou City, and there is chaos in the order, these people will be collected in a few days, and the government will pay for food to support them for a while." ”
Zhongqi sighed, suddenly understood, and was moved: "The adult is still Gao Feng Liangjie." After that, he turned around and left, "I'll go and ask Master Wu Jiu for a few cars!" ”
This reckless boy! Han Xu hurriedly called him: "Don't mess around, if you really want it, then this state city will not be stable." ”
Zhongqi nodded: "Okay, I understand what the adults mean!" Rest assured! I'm going to set these up first. ”
said that he pedaled and ran, it was really like the wind, and the wind was hot..... Han Xu shook his head, what did he mean by this kid?
......
......
"I think what Han Xu means is to deliberately make things difficult!"
In the main hall of the Wu family's mansion, Master Wu Jiu, who was escorted by soldiers and horses to the mansion, turned red with anger.
"It's just deliberately humiliating our Wu clan! This is Henan Province, this is Song Zhou, who does he think he is! ”
There were more than a dozen people standing in the hall, but there were only ten chairs, and not all of them were seated.
One of the chairs at the head was empty, and the rest was not full, except for a few old men sitting scattered, and the rest of the chairs were standing behind people..... Although this is their chair, the elders are still there, and it is not their turn to sit down, they just come to speak in place of the elders.
Master Wu Jiu's father died early, and he was honored to be able to sit down and speak.
But at this point, out of anger, he kept standing.
An older man looked at him with a little dissatisfaction: "Who is he?" This is Songzhou is Henan Province, but the day before yesterday, who beheaded Wang Jin led by Songzhou soldiers? ”
Although the people don't know it yet, the big families in Songzhou know that the generals in Songzhou City have been replaced.
This Han Xu came from Shannan Dao, in addition to holding the edict of the imperial court appointment, he only brought an entourage, and then the Henan Provincial Jiedu envoy sent him a young general who was said to be a Jiannan Daoist, but it was said that it was Jiannan Dao, and he could be assigned by the Henan Provincial Jiedu envoy, and it could also be said that he was in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
This Han Xu is alone, what kind of storm can he set off.
Songzhou's side is turning a blind eye to the rebel guards, if you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you, if you mess with me, I'll run, but that's watching people cook, Han Xu, a civil minister who has no military power, of course they won't be polite.
After the initial politeness, the soldiers of Songzhou became impatient and ignored Han Xu's nagging, but they didn't expect this Han Xu to be even more polite, and directly came to the camp with the soldiers, and with an order, the young general beheaded the three generals in the room.
The general is gone, and the remaining Songzhou soldiers and horses immediately implement the principle that if you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you, if you want to kill me, I will kneel down and beg for mercy, and now Songzhou is already in Han Xu's hands.
"He holds the holy decree of the imperial court, and he has Jiannan Dao soldiers and horses to rely on, who do you say he is?" The old man said coldly.
That young general is not in Cao Ying's heart in Han, it is clear that he was installed in Henan Province by Jiannan Dao a long time ago!
Treacherous Kennan Dao!
The soldiers and horses of Songzhou are all fed, they are their own people, but the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao are not, Master Wujiu's face turned even redder because of his breathlessness, and finally waved his hand: "Even if he has the support of the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao, he can't do whatever he wants!" We are all ordinary people. ”
Another old man said, "Just know that you are a common man, sit down!" What do you do when you stand and talk? Show off that you're younger than a couple of our old guys? ”
"Fifth uncle, what are you talking about?" Master Wu Jiu muttered, but he still sat down obediently, "I'm just angry, this Han Xu is too ....."
"Ninth brother, you're wrong." Old Master Wu Qi, who was standing behind a chair, said with a smile, "What are you angry about, Han Xu is doing this, it means that His Majesty the Emperor is really coming to us, that's why he is so fierce, just to ensure that Song Zhou is foolproof." ”
He looked at the people in the hall.
"For the sake of drama, for the sake of deterrence, you have to kill chickens to show monkeys."
Master Wu Jiu sneered: "Seventh brother, then we are the chickens that were killed?" ”
"It's not us, it's you." Master Wu Qi replied to him without being salty, not giving him a chance to fight back, and then said, "It's nothing, who made us the biggest family in Songzhou." ”
Many young people of the same generation in the hall laughed, "Look at what you said, we deserve it?" "Our family's great business is passed down from our ancestors, and it is not a robbery." "Yes, why should you be bullied by the government?" "It wasn't the Seventh Master who was escorted away by Han Xu with soldiers and horses, of course the Seventh Master didn't have a backache when he spoke." Tongue-in-cheek is neither salty nor light.
Being able to stand here is all the bloodline, but it is the difference between early birth and late birth for a few days, and being able to sit on the chair is just the difference between the early death of the father and the late death, who is more noble than whom?
Master Wu Qi didn't care about these cynicisms: "We admit to bullying, what is Han Xu bullying us for?" In order to show the people and the emperor, we obediently admit the bullying, and the people and the emperor can see it, is there anything wrong with this? ”
There was a cacophony of voices and silence.
"Our Wu family is such an honest and honest family." Master Wu Qi said, "Such a family, will the people and the emperor not like it?" Will it be unreliable? ”
That's the same, it's about the family, it's about each family, and if it's good for each family, don't speak.
Master Wu Jiu was still a little dissatisfied after being bullied, and said, "Then you can't always be bullied like this." ”
Old Man Wu Qi didn't speak, and the old man sitting in the second chair spoke.
"How can you always be bullied? When the emperor comes, Han Xu can still bully us? Can he still cover the sky with one hand? This Great Xia is not his God. ”
Not only that, but when the time comes, he will spit out as much as he eats them.
As soon as the second old lady Wu spoke, the others stopped talking, and they should be in unison.
"Don't be nervous, what is this, is it more terrible than the rebels hitting the door?" Another old man smiled and said, "We have all come over the troubled times for so many years. ”
Laughter sounded in the hall, and the atmosphere eased, and a big butler hurried in outside the door.
"Masters, the government has arrested the fourteen sons of the eighth room."
Hearing this, a middle-aged man standing behind the chair in the eighth room looked furious: "What's the matter?!" The government is besieging the city again? ”
Why didn't you hear any movement?
The people in the hall were also shocked.
"No, I didn't come to the house to catch it." The housekeeper hurriedly said, "It's outside, the fourteenth prince got into a fight with someone and was arrested by the government." ”
What? Everyone looked at each other.
"Is the government idle?" Humane, "Fight doesn't matter?" ”
And it's the people of the Wu family who are arrested?
Master Wu Qi smiled: "Of course it's deliberate, I'll just say it, the government wants us to use it as a target." ”
The old men sat back on their chairs and waved their hands to the butler: "Okay, okay, you don't have to go, let the butler pull a cart of money to ransom people." ”
The master of the eighth room really didn't go, and said: "Give them as much as you want, if not, let Fourteen live in the cell for a few days." ”
Everyone else laughed, and someone said, "We can go and visit him." ”
The butler answered and went out.
Master Wu Jiu, who had been sitting on the chair, first gloated, and then came back to his senses and was dissatisfied.
"Huh? Fourteen, is this money out of the public? Then my previous share should also be, right? ”
