Chapter Ninety-Three: Remembering the Old

What Xu Qingchen said, Wu Jie didn't dare not believe it, and he didn't dare to believe it all.

If you want to say that the Zhen family has bad intentions, he believes it.

It's not just the Zhen family, this Jinling family, which one is not a little involved with the outside?

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the four major families of Jinling are married to each other, the officials protect each other, and almost cover the sky locally.

Ten years ago, if they hadn't secretly pulled their legs, today's Marquis Wu might be the King of Wu, or even ······· Emperor of the Great Swallow.

It's a pity that Dayan has been peaceful for a long time, and some people don't want to see Wu Hou, a wise and martial clan, and enter Beijing to ascend the throne.

It was also a bloody storm back then, and finally made a fuss about becoming a self-reliant marquis.

If he didn't claim to be a marquis, now Wu Hou should be declared in Chang'an by a piece of paper, and he will be sentenced to prison for his crimes······· This is to force him to death.

Fortunately, Marquis Wu was decisive, and immediately established the country as a marquis, and fiercely repelled tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court.

Eventually, the foundation of the present day was established.

I don't want it to be the Zhen family.

How could a mere family dare to plan such a big thing?

This is where Wu Jie can't believe it.

However, the Tiger Charm is not fake.

Wu Jie carefully looked at the tiger talisman under the lamp, and solemnly took out the other half of the small copper talisman from a secret pocket sewn by his underwear.

After closing up and down, and there was no gap, he solemnly returned half of the talisman to Xu Qingchen.

"Virtuous nephew, this talisman you received is a bronze talisman, and it can mobilize up to one guard, a total of 1,300 people."

"With this amount of manpower, if you want to attack the Zhen family, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Wu Jie looked like a big black face, but he had a sad face, and his big eyes were slightly squinted, revealing a cold light like a fierce beast before it pounced.

"With my many years of experience in the army, if you want to break the Zhen family, this little soldier is not enough!"

"What?"

Xu Qingchen was really shocked this time!

"A mere family, even if it has a private collection of armor soldiers, how many can there be? A guard of 1,300 men and horses, including at least 50 musketeers, can be pulled to attack a county········ It was not enough to deal with the Zhen family! ”

Wu Jie shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and explained in the tone of a passerby:

"You're talking about an ordinary family, but the Zhen family is very different."

"If nothing else, let's just say that the Zhen family's salt farm, just selling illicit salt every year, has a net profit of nearly one million."

"You must know that the tax revenue of Dayan Treasury is only 16 million a year, which is the tax revenue of the whole world!"

"With so much money, they can bribe officials, feed the dead, and recruit staff········· They even set up private courts to solicit lawsuits! ”

"In the entire Jiangnan, there are no less than hundreds of high-grade Zhen family officials, and there are even more low-grade officials!"

"This layer, piece by piece, what can't they do?"

"Raising private soldiers?"

Wu Jie smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said:

"That's the old calendar! Only ordinary families play like this! ”

"The private soldiers of the Zhen family are all stuffed into the city defense, and some of them are mixed into the government service, or they have the name of patrolling the township······ In fact, it is the private soldier of the Zhen family! ”

"If it really starts, not to mention my guard, even if there are three or four thousand men and horses, it can't be attacked in a hurry."

"If the rumor leaks a little bit more halfway through, then the Zhen family will react, and really pull the salt from the salt field over, and then send weapons, it will be a big disaster!"

Xu Qingchen was in a cold sweat when he heard it.

This Zhen family is really anti-disgusted and undisguised········

"Now, what can I do about it?"

His head seemed to be buzzing for a while, and he couldn't think of any good way.

"I can't help it······ Left and right of you, this bronze talisman can only be transferred to me with one guard, and I can't do it if I have more. ”

Wu Jie said in a deep voice:

"For today's plan, one is to be fast, the other is to be secret, and it is best to quietly surround the Zhen family."

"Didn't you say there was an arrangement elsewhere? Can't say it yet? ”

Xu Qingchen smiled helplessly and gave a reluctant smile:

"What else do I have to arrange······· Master Hou's arrangement, how can you tell me everything? I only know my side of things. ”

"My task is to take the talisman and transfer the soldiers and horses from Uncle Wu's side to attack the Zhen family, especially the men who want to take down the Zhen family, and none of them can leave!"

I thought Wu Jie would be furious, but I didn't want Wu Jie to hear it, but he was a little confused:

"Asking you to come alone, this doesn't look like Hou Ye's usual handwriting?"

"Master Hou has always used soldiers, and he has always been strange, but I seem to be a strange soldier along the way······· It's weird, could it be that Hou Ye has another countermeasure? ”

Wu Jie was also an old man who followed Wu Hou to fight the country, but in recent years, Wu Hou has become old and has gradually become less loyal than before.

But when it comes to Wu Hou's habits, their group of old ministers are all aware.

The use of soldiers has always been to plan and then move, and it is categorically not easy to take risks, and it can always be unexpected.

"I always feel that Hou Ye still has a trick, but I don't know when it will happen."

Wu Jie thought about it, and decided to believe in his own experience.

"Let's travel lightly, first hide the eyes and ears of the Zhen family in the city, go to the vicinity of the Zhen family, and wait for the opportunity to move."

"If it doesn't work, it's a big deal! Although the Zhen family's main house is furnished a lot, it is impossible to really hide too many people! ”

"It's just to guard against the tunnel, in case you miss a few, it won't be beautiful."

Xu Qingchen lifted his spirits and said:

"Don't worry, Hou Ye has seven spies in the Zhen family's main house, and thirteen more people have developed in Taiming County, although there is not much news, but they are all very important."

"Although the secret passage is secret, but in the early years, when the holy lady of the Zhen family repaired the garden, she invited people from outside, and at that time, there were secret agents who were proficient in architecture, wrote down the layout of the house, and drew a map, in which the places that could hide the secret passage were personally explored by a good hand."

"There is such a thing as a secret road, which is available in any place, and the general exit is not too far, and in the past ten years, Lord Hou's manpower has been inspected many times and six of the exit locations have been determined."

"Hehe, it's not far from the Zhen family's main house, as long as we send someone to guard it in advance····· You can catch turtles in the urn! ”

Xu Qingchen was shocked at this time.

It turned out that Wu Hou was really taking care of himself, so he sent the credit to his own hands.

It's a pity that I don't even know it.

Wu Jie also has a general idea:

"You kid······· It's really born in the blessing and don't know the blessing, this is the Hou Ye wants to give you the credit for nothing! ”

"It must be the hands of the Black Ice Platform who do it, you and I are just going through the motions and mixing up the credits."

Speaking of this, Wu Jie looked at Xu Qingchen again.

Under this lamp, there were vague similarities to his father's face.

"Master Hou······· I still miss the old love! ”
