Chapter 58 The counterattack of the new head of the Yuan family
In the fifth year of Zhongping, on July 14th, late at night.
Dongdu, south of the city, Huzi Lane, a certain courtyard.
Wuda, a barbarian wearing a torn leather jacket, with a shaved head, dark skin, tall height, and full of smell, pushed open the door and entered.
Entering the house, a noble man from the Southern Dynasty with eyes like an eagle and a snake looked up and down and showed a satisfied smile.
There is no fear or curiosity in the eyes of the bald man, like a barren salt-alkali land with no trace of green life.
This is a lone wolf.
Of course, Liu Neng ignored one exception.
When he shook open the bag and dropped four shining gold ingots, there was a trace of greed in Uda's eyes.
Looking at the huge gold ingot in front of him, he did not hesitate and accepted this life-threatening transaction.
For this huge sum of money and for the good life of the tribe, I will die.
Liu Neng showed cold approval, as if Ouda and the target of his assassination were as insignificant as ants.
The words of the Marquis are everything.
In order to teach Yuan Shao and the Yuan family a lesson, the Yongzhou spy chief rushed to Dongdu and used the most fierce and cunning Hu killers for the first time.
Uda's skills were extremely outstanding. In order to kill the son of the tribal leader who occupied his pasture, he lurked in a mud pit next to a water source for three days, and finally beheaded the boy and his four guards.
The tribal leader vowed to avenge his son, but Uda, who had no one to take him in and dared not go home, had no choice but to flee south and hide in Dongdu to make a living.
After discovering the distressed Uda, the Jin Yiwei secret agent recruited him as a dead soldier and paid him some monthly fees.
Therefore, after Liu Neng came, he went straight to the game.
Kill Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, and in addition to twenty taels of gold ingots, he will also support your tribe in regaining water sources.
Of course, Uda alone was not enough to kill Yuan Wei. Liu Neng made careful investigations and arrangements in advance, and even prepared Plan B.
The Marquis ordered people to die at the fifth watch, who dares to stay alive until the sixth watch?
What? No six updates, ah, it’s not important.
The important thing is that Yuan Shao will arrive in Dongdu tomorrow, just in time to keep vigil for his uncle.
The night fades and dawn appears.
At five o'clock in the morning, the head of the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Wei, got on a carriage and headed to the imperial city.
The alleys that used to be smooth in the past suddenly became crowded today, and it seemed that there was a dispute between Hu merchants and the blockage.
Seeing that he was going to be late, Yuan Wei raised the curtains and immediately ordered: "Open the road quickly!"
Two servants immediately stepped forward to drive away the Hu people. However, the Hu merchant, who was carrying a load and pushing a cart, actually started pushing and fighting with the servants.
These despicable beards are rebelling against heaven!
The remaining four servants were furious and immediately picked up sticks and stepped forward to help.
At this time, Wu Da, who had been waiting for a long time, sprang out from the pile of debris, jumped onto the carriage, wiped the driver's neck neatly, and then jumped into the carriage.
"Who...ah!"
The servants of the Yuan Mansion in front heard the screams and immediately rushed back, only to see a masked man wearing a turban jump out of the car and run away desperately.
"Catch that man!"
The four servants immediately followed up and chased Ouda, while the remaining two servants quickly pulled open the curtains of the car.
But they saw Yuan Wei covering his neck with both hands, and blood was constantly leaking from his fingers. What was even more terrible was that the owner of the house still had a knife hilt stuck in his chest, and the car was dripping with blood.
After getting into the carriage, the servant tried every means, but in the end, there was no way to save him.
Half July, early morning.
Yuan Wei, the Grand Tutor of the Han dynasty and the head of the Yuan family, was assassinated in the street and the murderer escaped.
The civil service group was angry.
The emperor was very puzzled.
The eunuch and his relatives swore to cut off their relationship.
This seemed to be a murder case without beginning or end, and was almost characterized as a passionate murder by a barbarian in a dispute.
Until the afternoon, in front of the Yuan Mansion with plain lanterns and flags fluttering, the tired Yuan Shao fell to his knees and let out a heartbreaking scream.
"I was wrong! I deserve to die!"
Asano was surprised!
This is getting weird.
Yuan Wei's funeral was extremely mournful, with many bigwigs visiting to express their condolences.
Through further contact and inquiry, the truth behind Yuan Wei's assassination emerged.
According to rumors, the person who ordered the Hu killers seemed to be Yongzhou Mu and Liu Bei.
Therefore, many people criticized Liu Bei verbally and writtenly. After all, he dared to kill even the current prince, and others felt even less safe.
But soon, someone had a different opinion.
Yuan Shao's miserable cry of "I was wrong, I deserve to die" clearly refers to what he did, and maybe it was the cause of Yuan Wei's death.
Thinking back to Yongzhou, it is thought-provoking that Yuan Shao was suddenly returned to the Eastern Capital.
A few days later, news came that Zheng Taifu, the mastermind of the Shangjun kidnapping case, had been executed.
Everyone suddenly realized.
On the day Yuan Shao arrived, stabbing Yuan Wei to death in the street was definitely Chi Guoguo's revenge.
Therefore, the person behind the assassination of Yuan Wei could not be more obvious.
The Marquis of Yongzhou did not kill Yuan Shao, but instead traveled thousands of miles to kill Yuan Wei, which proved that he had strong power in Dongdu.
Moreover, people say "Whoever touches my family will pay the price", which is obviously not meant for Yuan Shao and his family.
After analyzing this level, most people stopped attacking Yongzhou.
This is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with you, so why bother getting burned?
In the study room of the Yuan Mansion, looking at Yuan Shao with tears streaming down his face, Yuan Ji, who was wearing sackcloth and mourning, was about to explode.
Pig, stupid pig, stupider than stupid pig!
My uncle repeatedly told me to avoid that evil spirit. One or two of them are ineffective. If you don't obey and cause trouble, is there any point in crying?
The family is already in operation, try to transfer you back and see what kind of pig and dog friends you have made?
Also, where do you think the Four Generations and Three Dukes came from?
It was saved from generation to generation by the old people bringing in new people, and the seniors bringing in their children and nephews.
The only third prince in the family died unjustly. Who can guarantee whether he, the preparatory servant, can be promoted?
Now it seems that although the road is ridiculous, at least I know how to build a navy to please the emperor, and the future is promising.
Hey, as for Yuan Shao... the little maid raised is indeed not reliable!
No matter how annoyed and resentful he was, his uncle Yuan Wei would never survive.
Trying his best to calm down, Yuan Ji said calmly: "From now on, just be a solid person in the Northern Army!"
Yuan Shao was so ashamed that he did not dare to say anything to the new head of the family and left the study.
Yuan Ji is a pragmatic person. As the head of the family, his first consideration is the survival and development of the family.
Death is like a lamp going out, what matters is the living.
The Yuan family must cheer up. The more adversity they face, the more vigorous they must be.
Yuan Shu used the excuse of building a navy to actually operate the maritime trade. No matter how effective it was, it was still a job and must be promoted with all his strength.
Trying to accomplish something in a complicated and confusing court without certain status and experience, without reliable personal connections, is just a dream.
Even if Yuan Wei died, the Yuan family is still there, and the connections attached to the Yuan family are still there. As long as you convince the emperor or the ten permanent attendants, it can be done.
How can we be fair and honest and avoid being boycotted by others and burning bridges?
Looking at his filial piety, Yuan Ji was thoughtful.
After the first seven days, Yuan Ji submitted a memorial proposing the establishment of a Royal Navy.
There are three core reasons.
First of all, the sea area is vast, and barbarians outside the territory urgently need to bathe in the emperor's favor.
Secondly, to expand territory, sea territory is also a territory, and the empire’s territory can be expanded to thousands of miles away.
Thirdly, water transportation is convenient, which has obvious advantages whether it is mobilizing troops or transporting materials.
Finally, Yuan Ji pointed out in a sad tone that before his death, Taifu Yuan Wei had been working day and night on the navy, but unfortunately his ambition was not fulfilled.
Therefore, as a descendant of the Yuan family, I am determined to inherit my uncle's legacy, be a pioneer for the emperor, and be powerful overseas, attracting all nations to come to court.
It has to be said that the idea of inheriting the Taifu's legacy touched the weakness of Manchao boss and he did not dare to reject it easily.
However, Zhao Zhong, who had received the benefits, spared no effort to say good things, and finally persuaded the emperor to approve the project.
After accounting, the court allocated three million taels of silver to build a shipyard in Yangzhou.
He worshiped Yuan Shu as General Fubo, and immediately organized a navy to supervise the construction of ten warships and cargo ships to suppress the four seas and expand the maritime territory.
I thought that after Yuan Wei's death, the Yuan family would gradually decline, and many disciples and former officials also had other ideas.
However, no one expected that the Yuan family would demonstrate its strong background and resources so quickly, and even obtain the military power of the Royal Navy.
According to this trend, within a few years, Yuan Ji will be promoted to Tai servant or Tai Tu, and continue to maintain the title of Fourth Generation and Three Dukes.
The Yuan Mansion is once again crowded with guests, and there is an endless stream of people seeking service.
When Liu Bei received the news from Dongdu, he was quite surprised and immediately reflected on himself.
It is so naive and arrogant to think that killing Yuan Wei will defeat the Yuan family.
Behind any big boss is the entire family, with extensive connections and a deep foundation.
Yuan Ji, an unknown person in history, seems to be far inferior to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but his skills are really beautiful!
The rolling Yangtze River has swept away so many heroes.
If you don't get rid of the bad habit of blind complacency, you will probably be among the first to be eliminated.
I grabbed my writing brush and wrote "A proud soldier will be defeated" with arrogant teeth and claws. He hung it in the study and kept alert day and night.
And Yuan Shu of Jiujiang looked up to the sky and laughed after receiving the imperial decree and funding.
For a holiday in the countryside, the limited edition Tesla electric carriage must be purely imported, and include seven or eight small internet celebrities...
Only in this way can we be worthy of the majesty of General Fubo of the Royal Navy!
"Here, one and a half million taels, Wentai can use it to build a dock and build warships."
One and a half million taels of silver entered Yuan Yanei's pocket in the blink of an eye...
Sun Jian on the side was stunned.
Zang Ba whispered: In fact, if you save one province, seven to eight hundred thousand taels is enough.
Chapter completed!
