Chapter 261: Dig Coal
The Loop.
An unknown small tribe, a group of Zhao Feiqi sat around the stove, supporting a large cauldron, in which large pieces of beef and mutton were cooked, and the aroma was overflowing, and the beef that they could not necessarily eat once in their life in the Central Plains now they eat it every day.
"Look at what, and then look at your eyeballs." Li Qian glared at the Hu people viciously, he knew that these Hu people were all cheap people who bullied the soft and were afraid of the hard, and they couldn't give a good face, only by scaring them from time to time and killing a few people, this group of people could listen to you.
The surrounding Hu people were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads, didn't say a word, and didn't dare to breathe.
Their entire tribe combined is less than 10,000 people, and there are not as many adult men as Zhao Feiqi, not to mention the overall strength, ten people together are not the opponent of Zhao Feiqi.
In the face of Zhao Feiqi, they didn't dare to have any intention of resisting.
"Don't worry, we won't kill you. Now that Lao Tzu has eaten your meat, he owes you a favor. So not only will we not kill you, but we will also find you a job to eat and live, although it is a little harder and tiring, but it is definitely more promising than grazing on the grassland. ”
Yan Ju pointed at the tribal leader who didn't know what to call with a bright big knife and said.
"Please let the general let us go, we are just a small tribe, except for a little cattle and sheep, all of them are filial to the general, just ask the general to spare our lives." The leader of the Hu people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
This group of bandits not only robbed their cattle and sheep, but even their people.
"Leave you alone? Lao Tzu didn't treat you well, how can you let it go? I ask you, did you voluntarily offer these cattle and sheep to us? Yan Ju looked at the leader of the Hu people, and the momentum of an extraordinary powerhouse suddenly pressed towards the other party.
"Yes...... It's ......" The leader of the Hu people did not hesitate and nodded again and again.
"That's not enough, our Zhao people are grateful to repay it. If you eat your flesh, you will have nothing to eat, and if you don't have food, you will starve to death. How could we watch you starve to death! Don't worry, just follow us, don't say anything else, at least make sure you don't starve to death. Yan Ju patted the shoulder of the leader of the Hu people with the back of his knife, and said with a pleasant face.
The leader of the Hu people collapsed to the ground in fright, and did not dare to say a word.
"General, when are we going back?" Huo stuffed a large piece of beef into his mouth, pulled the clothes of the leader of the Hu people, wiped the grease stains on his hands, and asked.
"Let's eat more and finish this meal. We moved this group to Jiuyuan. It has snowed so much, and this group of Hu people has suffered heavy losses, and I am afraid that next year we will be plundered, so we have to go back and remind them. Yan Ju stood up and said loudly.
……
"Tell me, who asked you to drag the son of Pingyang Jun into the water." In prison, Liu Ping found Wang Yu.
"Gift...... Shangguan, I overheard that the son of Pingyang Jun was a county magistrate in Woyang, so I wanted to get to know Pingyang Jun through him, definitely not to drag him into the water. Wang Yu hurriedly said.
At this time, Wang Yu had long lost his former determination, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to be involved in a conspiracy, and the price was definitely not acceptable to him.
"Want to get to know Pingyang-kun through him? Hehe, it seems that you don't need to use this method if you want to know Zhao Tang as you. Liu Ping's eyes were fixed on Wang He, and two sharp gazes penetrated his heart.
Although Wang Yu is only the mine chief, he is also an official, and his level is only a little lower than the county order, and he can still do it if he wants to meet the county order.
"Shangguan doesn't know, so Zhao Tang ...... The county magistrate usually stays at home, and he doesn't even go to the county office, and the criminal minister goes to look for it several times, but he doesn't see it once, even if he visits his home, he doesn't see it. Later, the criminal learned by chance that Pingyang Jun had reduced the amount of money he gave to Zhao Tang every month, and his subordinates had an idea and sent 50,000 yuan, so that he could see it. Wang Yu said.
"Wait...... Got it by chance? How did I find out by chance. Liu Ping's heart moved.
"The criminal went to visit Zhao Tang's house, and when he left, he heard the discussion of his subordinates." Wang Yu said.
"Inferior? Do you remember any of your subordinates? Liu Ping hurriedly said.
"That's a descendant of Zhao Tang's family, the criminal minister hasn't even seen face-to-face, how can he remember." Wang Yu said with a bitter face.
Liu Ping was silent, and his intuition told him that the clue was in the subordinate.
But as far as he knew, Pingyangjun sent more than a hundred servants to his son, and it was impossible to check them one by one.
Moreover, although the government prohibits subordinates from discussing the master, in fact, this situation is very common, and it does not mean that there is a problem with his identity. It may also be just a very coincidence in time, which happened to let Wang Yu hear it.
"So...... Why did Pingyangjun reduce the amount of money he gave to his son? Liu Ping suddenly thought of a question.
After raising it for more than 20 years, it has not reduced the amount of money, so it is impossible to reduce it for no reason.
Time goes back to three days ago, Plains Monarch's Mansion.
"Why did my brother suddenly reduce his money for his nephew?" Zhao Sheng poured a glass of wine for Zhao Bao.
"The king didn't just ascend the throne a few months ago, and I was afraid that the second child would ...... offended the king, so he reduced his case money, hoping that he would gradually become independent, but he didn't expect it to lead to the current result. Zhao Bao sighed.
He never imagined that the reduction of the money out of kindness would be seized by someone with a heart to tempt his son to be greedy for money.
Zhao Sheng frowned, the source actually originated from Zhao Kuo, so this matter is likely to be a coincidence.
"Did you think of it alone, or did someone remind you?" Zhao Sheng asked.
"It was all a few months ago, how can I remember it." Zhao Bao said embarrassedly.
"I will intercede with the king on your behalf, if there is no one behind him, the king should not deal with it strictly." Zhao Sheng said with relief.
"Then thank you Fourth Brother."
……
That is to say...... Didn't even know he was being used? Zhao Kuo asked in a deep voice.
"It should be so, according to the subordinates...... It is unlikely that Wang Yu lied. Liu Ping nodded, "And his subordinates checked his correspondence records over the past year and did not find any signs of collusion with outsiders." He should just be eager to be promoted and want to take shortcuts. ”
"If you want to be promoted, you have to make political achievements, don't expect to rely on some crooked ways, since you have committed a crime because of coal, then send it to the Shangdang Coal Mine to dig coal, let him also feel what it is like to dig coal every day." Zhao Kuo ordered.
"That'...... Son of Pingyang Jun......" Liu Ping asked cautiously.
"Go digging coal with Wang He, when will it come out after five years. Make this command known to the world. Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
"No."
……
An unknown place in the country of Zhao.
"Sir, the verdict has come down. The son of Pingyang Jun was sent to the Shangdang Coal Mine to dig coal, and came out five years later. A subordinate pushed open the door and walked in, and said respectfully.
"What about Zhao Bao?" The old man asked.
"Zhao Bao didn't seem to react." The next person said.
"Hehe, find a way to make his son disappear into the coal mine." The old man sneered twice. "Abominable Li Mu, if he hadn't interrupted the plan, Zhao Bao would definitely not have been able to escape the palm of the old man's hand."
"No."
"I'd like to see if you can be so righteous when your sons die in the mines." The old man looked in the direction of Handan and said coldly.
