In the next few days, Haijiao heard the news from Xie Wenzai one after another, and even Zhou Yijun and Tang Meng, two friends, heard some rumors and mentioned them to him privately.

Over the years, a large number of manors have fallen into the hands of strange new owners from other places, and at first glance it seems that they are not in the name of one person, but in fact, the basic people who take care of the manor are a group of people. They privately colluded with the local magistrates, and did not associate with the local wealthy families, and only said that they were buying new industries for the wealthy people in Shanxi, but in fact the group of people all spoke with the accent of Beijing, and they had nothing to do with Shanxi in terms of food taste or habits.

At present, although this group only runs this large industry and uses the proceeds to feed a group of unidentified outlaws, it is not yet a climate. After all, Lintong County is very close to Chang'an, and there are many people coming and going between the two places, if there are a large number of well-trained armed personnel in that large manor, even if other wealthy families do not speak, the local tenant villagers will be suspicious.

Previously, a large number of spies planted by the Sun family in the surrounding areas of Chang'an rushed to Chang'an to kidnap Jin Jiashu, and now almost all of them are imprisoned in the prison of the Dusi Yamen. According to the results of their interrogation by the Dusi Yamen, they had received an order from above, intending to increase the number of men and recruit more fierce outlaws to the manor for training in the manor, so as to be summoned and used by the master of the capital in the future. In addition, they were also instructed to buy as many fields and houses as possible, not necessarily in the surrounding areas of Chang'an, but also far away from Chang'an, but to be as close as possible to large areas of fertile land, to live as convenient as possible, to ensure self-sufficiency, but not too close to the guards outside the avant-garde of Chang'an.

The last one, after Du Boqin's arrest at the end of last year, will not be counted. This group of Sun family minions were arrested too early, and they didn't have time to get follow-up instructions from the Sun family in the capital, so it is not clear whether the main family will change the direction of the property. But several leaders with a little bit of power all agreed that it was impossible for the Sun family to give up this large piece of industry. The Sun family has invested too much in Shaanxi's field industry over the years, and if they give up, they will definitely hurt their vitality.

What's more, the Sun family has actually secretly moved some of the clansmen from their hometown to Shaanxi and settled them in these industries. The Sun family can give up the land, can they still abandon the clansmen?

Tu Rong had to ask the town Guogong to send someone to investigate around Lintong, and confirmed that there was indeed a new "Sunjiazhuang" in the local area, and the residents of Zhuangzhong were nearly 100, although there were no prominent leaders, but according to the situation observed by the nearby military and civilians, these people were not in business on weekdays, they were not very serious in studying, and they only practiced martial arts for three days to fish, and two days to dry their nets, but their tone of voice was very big, and they lived a rich and comfortable life, and they also supported many nursing house servants, even if they were just new foreigners. It's not something that ordinary people can offend at will.

Under the protection of the Lintong County Order, these Sun family members quietly settled down in the local area, settled down, and some people participated in the county test and passed it successfully, but the news did not reach the ears of the Zhou family in Chang'an, which really made people pinch a cold sweat.

Zhenguo Gong found out that the Lintong County Order was sent by the imperial court, and he was born in the same Jinshi, and he was not related to the Sun family, but it was obvious that he had already taken refuge in the Sun family's faction, and he would be quietly arranged by the Sun family to be an official in a small county near Chang'an. Probably because he does not have out-of-character words and deeds on weekdays, whether it is dealing with government affairs or interpersonal communication, he is decent, he is not offensive or rude to the Zhou family, and he will not look down on the generals and soldiers in the army under the banner of scholars, and his attitude towards the Northwest Frontier Army is even more friendly than that of the Chang'an prefect, so no one thinks he has a problem. If it weren't for the fact that the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division had caught enough people this time, and he was willing to confess honestly, he was afraid that this county commander would be promoted to the position of prefect in Shaanxi, and it would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Even the long-experienced Zhenguo Gong, when he received this information, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Neither the Lintong County Commander nor the Sun family members who migrated to Lintong had ever participated in the Sun family's conspiracy against the Northwest Frontier Army, and even had little contact with the ears and minions sent by the Sun family to Shaanxi. If they hadn't caught Sun Yongbai's henchmen and interrogated them strictly, they wouldn't have found out that there were already relatives of the enemy family under their noses. In a few years, the Sun family will continue to buy land and property in Shaanxi, and continue to migrate their clansmen here, and they will become a big local household in Shaanxi. If the Sun family used their power in the court to arrange for these clansmen to become officials, it would only take one or two decades of hard work, and even the Zhou family would not be able to easily shake the foundation of his family in Shaanxi.

Fortunately, Sun Yonglu is a straw bale, and he has been operating in the Northwest Frontier Army for many years and has not been able to control the military power. Fortunately, Du Boqin was arrested early and could not continue to hide in the avant-garde of Chang'an to make an internal response for the Sun family. Otherwise, with them on top, let alone the imperial examination, I am afraid that even the military positions in the army will also be touched by the Sun family.

Zhen Guogong could control the personnel appointments of the Northwest Frontier Army, but he could not prevent the Sun family from opening an account in Shaanxi and joining the army through the imperial examination. After a long time, isn't it true that even the influence of the Zhou family in their hometown has been taken away by the Sun family?

Zhen Guogong didn't continue to speculate, but just threw the information to Tu Rong, and sent another copy to the clansmen and the Tang family.

Tu Rong still has something to do over there, so he didn't pay attention to these things for the time being, anyway, as long as the emperor ordered the Sun family to be copied, no matter how many fields and houses were filled into the officialdom, and without Sun Ge's support in the court, this group of mediocre Sun family members would not be able to become a climate, and it was not worth paying attention to at all.

Tang Jiaming seemed to be silent on his face, but in fact, he immediately used his relatives and friends to secretly send a message to the old in-laws in Lintong. Isn't it just a few Sun family members who have no official position and no position? How can the arrogant and powerful relatives live in a foreign land? I can't tell you how many bad things I have done that violated the law of the country in private! As long as others pay attention, sooner or later they will find a reason to arrest their people, raid their homes, and confiscate their property.

Even if you can't find a reason, that's okay. Didn't they claim to have migrated from Shanxi? Someone from the Tang family went to Shanxi to take up a post, and they just happened to check the place of origin claimed by this group of Sun family members, as long as they found evidence of their falsification, they could go to the door and arrest the people into the official mansion to play the board. With a case record, no matter how capable Rao is Sun family is, he can't imagine that he can rely on the power of the Sun family to join the army!

There is also that Lintong County Order, who pretends to be loyal and honest, it turns out that he is a traitor! I don't know how many unsightly things such a person has done behind his back, and he should expose it well, so as not to let such evil officials occupy the position of the court officials and harm the people!

The old lady of the Tang family has been very annoyed since he heard that the minions of the Sun family confessed and knew that his grandchildren were also on the list of their plots to murder. In addition, the Sun family used Mrs. Ma to install two nurturing grandmothers in their house as eyes and ears, causing his family to have a handle in the hands of the Sun family, and he was already thinking about finding an opportunity to take revenge. Now that he has the opportunity and the acquiescence of the Zhou family, how can he let it go lightly?

Because of the mistakes they had made, the Tang family had to let the family members abandon the century-old foundation of Chang'an and scatter to run for the future, why could dog thieves like the Sun family occupy the good land around Chang'an and act as a blessing under the noses of their northwest border army?
