Chunqin tells Qiushu to invite Chen Zhong, and Fluttershy proudly leads the other three to the side courtyard to arrange accommodation.

After a while, Qiushu led Chen Zhong to hurry over, Chen Zhong was the deacon in charge of Anyi, this time Wang Yue assassinated Wei Su He was responsible for a certain amount, and not long ago Wei Xuan also unceremoniously expressed his disappointment in Baihutang at the meeting.

Now that Wei Xuan is looking for him alone, he is a little apprehensive in his heart.

Wei Xuan didn't intend to appease him privately when they met again, but directly gave him a task: "First, immediately gather people and find out the traitors in the Wei Mansion for me within seven days." This son doesn't believe that Wang Yue is so simple! ”

Chen Zhong's brows furrowed when he heard this, he had already assigned people to start the investigation without waiting for the instructions of the White Tiger Hall Hall Master and the Wei Family Sect Master, but Wei Xuan had something to say. Originally, Baihutang had reached a consensus on the murderers behind Wang Yue and others. And even if there is really the shadow of the emperor behind the ten permanent servants, it cannot be investigated.

"Childe means that there are others behind Wang Yue and the others?" Chen Zhong didn't want to continue to be wrong, so he had to ask directly.

"It's not that there are still people, what this son said is that there may be someone else. In the end, it depends on your ability to guess whether this boy's guess is right or not, and give me the result as soon as possible. ”

Chen Zhong was shocked! Could it be that the prince wants to target the current emperor? Didn't it mean that the sect master had already sent someone to send a letter of gratitude to the emperor, and Wei He was also building a dragon chair for the emperor according to Wei Xuan's instructions?

Without waiting for Chen Zhong to understand, Wei Xuan continued: "I need a few people to invite to my Wei family in the second month, here are their detailed information, remember to invite people politely, if you don't come, tie me up!" They are Ma Jun, Zheng Hun, and Pu Yuan...... There are two other people who need to be polite, please pay close attention to their movements if they don't come, and they can't be rude, they are Zhang Ji and Fa Zheng. If you don't have enough people, recruit some trust. White Tiger Hall, no matter how old Anyang was, was lifeless, and others repeatedly bullied them. ”

Chen Zhong didn't know what this Gongzi wanted these people to do, and his first reaction was that these people were the ones who participated in the assassination of the sect master. But Wei Xuan asked them to bring people back within a month, and they wanted to live. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he knew that this was an examination of whether he could stay in office.

Regarding the fact that there was a traitor in the Wei Mansion, there were people speculating and discussing it in private before the deacon met this time. But this is also absolutely confidential, Chen Zhong didn't expect Wei Xuan to suddenly mention the matter of the mole. You must know that even if the head of the family, Wei Su, had doubts in his heart, he did not order a thorough investigation, but he did not expect that this young son would give him this task on his first day in office.

Chen Zhong struggled to control his emotions and nodded, holding the bamboo slip handed over by Wei Xuan, and saw that Wei Xuan had nothing else to say, so he left in a hurry. He knew that this young boy was as strong as he had shown at the meeting!

Looking at the back of Chen Zhong leaving, Wei Xuan thought that this White Tiger Hall would be used if it could be used, and if it didn't work, he would set up a Jinyi Wei by himself! If Wei Su and his wife knew Wei Xuan's true thoughts at the moment, they would definitely vomit blood in anger!

In fact, Wei Xuan also had high expectations for the White Tiger Hall before, but now it seems that he has come to this era and there are not many credible and available people around him, so it's time to talk to his father about recruiting guests and forming an escort team to speed up. After all, Bai Bojun and Dong Zhuo didn't have much time left for him and the Wei family.

On the other hand, Wei Zheng was more eager to express himself than Wei He, Wei Xuan of the big house had taken over the White Tiger Hall, this kind of thing was unknown to others, and his father, as Wei Su's close place, naturally got the news as soon as possible. In addition, Wei He's furniture factory is already impressive, and Wei Zheng naturally can't sit still.

Just after the Wei family decided to put him in charge of refining salt for the time being, he went back and mobilized all his forces and prepared a large amount of charcoal and gauze. The next day, he led the horse to find Wei Xuan, hoping to make the trip as soon as possible. As a result, I learned that Wei Xuan had gone out, and I didn't come back until noon, so I had to go home stupidly.

Then the next day came earlier. Wei Xuan is also very pleased with this, he needs money more than everyone else. But Wei Su asked the two of them to bring more guards, and if the mansion was not enough, they could go to the manor outside the city to transfer some first. The two of them rushed to the manor with twenty guards, and of course four personal guards such as Chunqin. Wei Zheng seemed a little surprised when he saw the four women, but he quickly regained his composure, knowing that this was the pomp of the hall master of the White Tiger Hall. sighed in his heart that since then, the gap between the brothers has begun to widen. There is also a clear distinction between priority and priority!

This is the first time Wei Xuan has gone out in the true sense of the word when he comes to this world. The last time I met with the senior management of the White Tiger Hall was basically in the carriage, and it was in the dark when I got out of the carriage, so everything was normal in Wei Zheng's opinion, but in Wei Xuan's opinion, he was full of emotion.

Out of the luxurious Wei Mansion, I first looked at the vermilion lacquer gate of the Wei Mansion, turned my head to look, and what appeared in front of Wei Xuan's eyes were the kind of low-rise civil and engineering mixed structure houses, some of the streets along the street had green tiles, and many of the hidden in the depths of the alley were adobe houses and thatched sheds. Although the street is peaceful, it can be seen that all kinds of people in a hurry are worried, most of them are running for life, Wei Xuan and Wei Zheng's two sons are naturally exceptions. Because there were followers who hugged each other, the pedestrians on the street stopped to make way when they saw Lao Yuan, and some of them bowed their heads and whispered, most of them were respectful and envious.

Hedong County belongs to the Sili School Captain Department, Anyi is the seat of Hedong, only five hundred miles away from Luoyang, the capital division, Anyi is such a situation, it is not difficult to imagine those remote counties, this is the reality.

It's just that Wei Xuan was surprised to go southwest out of Anyi City, and the surrounding villages were even more dilapidated and depressed. Although there are gates between the villages, they are in disrepair, and you can see the more dilapidated houses inside when you look through the mottled doors. Wei Xuan, who is accustomed to reinforced concrete, has only seen the ethnic minorities in the mountains of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan on TV, and the villages around Anyi City are even far inferior.

As the brothers walked, Wei Xuan shook his head and sighed, occasionally seeing the beggar curled up on the side of the road, thinking about the upcoming winter, he couldn't help but sigh: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" ”

Wei Zheng looked at Wei Xuan very worriedly, this younger brother has never laughed since he went out, and now he sighs like this, in fact, Wei Xuan is right, but as a core member of the Wei family, Wei Zheng has long been used to it! I've never heard of Wei Xuan being so compassionate before, is it really a bad brain?

When the two came to the Wei family manor after more than two hours, they found that there were many people outside the manor, some of them were begging with a broken pottery bowl in their hands, and a few people were pushing a wheelbarrow in the direction of the manor. Because the summer harvest is over, and the autumn harvest is coming to an end.

More people gathered outside the Wei family manor and sighed. Wei Xuan was a poor man before he crossed, and he couldn't bear to get off the horse and come to the crowd. When he inquired, Wei Xuan was a little surprised, it turned out that most of these people were tenants of the Wei family or ordinary people who borrowed money from the Wei family. The reason they gathered here was that they couldn't afford to pay their rent! You know, this is just after the harvest. How do you spend the long winter and the green spring?

Wei Xuan took a closer look at the crowd, mainly old and young, women and children, so he asked the entourage next to him what was going on, and the answer he got was the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, most of the young people joined the Yellow Turban Army or were recruited to suppress the Yellow Turbans, and many of those who could come back were also disabled and lost their ability to work, and most of the strong men in the family here did not come back!

Wei Xuan walked very slowly, his mood was very heavy, and Wei Zheng on the side couldn't help but persuade: "Zhongdao, the world is like this, wealth and fortune have life, you don't have to care too much." ”

"Fourth brother, Anyi is like this, you can imagine how miserable the people of my Han states and counties are. If the people are gone, you and I will make refined salt and sell it to whom? How can the imperial court govern the world? ”

Wei Zheng lowered his head, he was casually persuading Wei Xuan, seeing that Wei Xuan was so serious, it was not good for him to continue arguing. But I heard Wei Xuan say to the guard next to him, Wei Huan: "Wait a minute, remember to inform the steward of the manor to set up a porridge shed outside the manor from today, winter is coming soon, and they can't be allowed to continue to starve outside like this." ”

Without waiting for Wei Huan to agree, Wei Zheng hurriedly grabbed Wei Xuan: "Zhongdao, you are a benevolent heart." But do you know how many of the victims of this Anyi will rush here when they hear the wind and rush here? The 20 counties in Hedong alone have a population of 7.8 million. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was followed by the Han Dynasty, and the imperial court was unable to provide disaster relief, resulting in displaced people everywhere. Although our Wei family has a larger family business, we can't afford to support so many disaster victims. Do you want to send someone home to deliver a letter and let your uncle decide? ”

Wei Zheng's worries are not unreasonable, the current situation is not a disaster in one township and one mile, but the whole Han Dynasty, if the Wei family takes the lead in opening a porridge shed here, then after a long time, the county's disaster victims will rush over, and even some families who can still survive, but the more difficult ones will come. As a brother who is four or five years older than Wei Xuan, Wei Zheng has the responsibility to remind Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan was silent when he heard this, of course he knew Wei Zheng's worries, and he also knew that the Wei family had a big business, but in the end, he didn't have a specific number of how much food was in stock, and how much money was in the house. And this manor was only a point to facilitate the management of the surrounding tenants, as well as a transit point for the timely delivery of grain to Yanchi and Weifu. There are many manors like the Wei family, and if a porridge shed is opened here, other manors will inevitably anger the displaced people who come here.

Wei Xuan didn't answer Wei Zheng continued with a gloomy face, and soon Wei Xuan was attracted by a strange scene again: a woman sat alone on a rock, and the people around her seemed to avoid her. This woman looked at Wei Xuan's group with a dirty face and a dull gaze, looking a little weak.
