Chapter 220: Cunning Rabbit
Hexi Qiang and Hu have minor quarrels several times a year and major riots every four to five years.
This is because the Hu people in the Western Regions took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains and continued to move inward.
What happened today is not too bizarre.
The people in Hexi have long been accustomed to it, either hiding in Wubao or fleeing south to Guzang.
However, the number of Qiang and Hu people is increasing.
They set fires everywhere outside the city. They used to be as gentle as sheep, but now they have turned into hungry wolves.
Feng Qi and the county magistrate Duan Rui stood on the top of the city, looking at the howling Qiang Hu, their expressions ugly.
But they were not worried about the Qiang and Hu, but the matter got serious and attracted Chen Tai.
Chen Tai is different from Fan Can.
Fan Can has the air of an elder and only wants to protect himself. As long as the incident does not cause too much trouble and does not affect the stability of Wuwei County, Fan Can will usually turn a blind eye.
But Chen Tai was very different. He was upright and could not tolerate sand in his eyes.
Feng Qi and Duan Rui used all kinds of means, beauties, gold and silver jewelry, land, famous horses and swords...
Chen Tai didn't accept it at all.
In the entire Cao Wei Dynasty, there was only one person who could be so incorruptible.
Previously, when Chen Tai was appointed governor of Bingzhou and guarded the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, he was good at handling the affairs of the Yi people and had a high prestige.
Therefore, after Chen Tai went to Liangzhou, the trend changed instantly.
The powerful men clamped their tails tightly, and the tribal chiefs all abided by the law.
"Chen Tai has always been gentle with the Qiang and Hu, so he may not deal with them this time, but if he finds out that we are selling horses into Shu, it will be the death penalty for genocide!" Duan Rui panicked.
Feng Qi alone cannot do such a big deal.
Many horse farms were military horse farms, belonging to Liangzhou and Cao Wei. After their various operations, the military horse farms were continuously reduced or abandoned, and became the Feng Family Horse Farm.
Moreover, the war horses sent to the imperial court were also shoddy. The inferior and inferior horses were sent to Chang'an and Luoyang, while the superior horses were sent to the Kingdom of Shu in exchange for countless Shu brocades.
Some extremely rare BMWs were sent to the homes of powerful people in Luoyang for management purposes.
Feng Qi looked at him with disdain, "You have made a lot of money over the years. You are just a county magistrate in a border area. If you go back to Luoyang and do some business, it won't be difficult to become a prefect, right?"
Duan Rui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "That's what I say, but Chen Tai is in a difficult situation. If he only occupies some horse farms, he will be dismissed at most. If it is found that there are fewer horses, you and I will be blamed.
"
"Then quickly put an end to the Qiang and Hu rebellions, and don't let Chen Tai come to power." Although Feng Qi is white, he is more powerful than the county magistrate.
"It's so easy to say. Captain Zhang led 500 people out and was defeated in the blink of an eye. Aren't all the private soldiers you left behind at the racecourse also destroyed? This time, the Qiang and Hu were different from the past. They easily left the city and were bound to die.
"The more money you have, the less courage you have. Duan Rui has enjoyed a lot of success following Feng Qi over the years.
Wuwei is the core of the Hexi Corridor.
Even if you don't sell horses to Sichuan and just do some business, you will still have plenty of money.
Feng Qi fell silent and squinted at the Qiang and Hu people below the city. They all looked like mad dogs.
Then he turned to look at Duan Rui, rolled his eyes twice, and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, don't panic. Don't forget that there are people above. Chen Tai doesn't dare to mess around. You can rest assured. As long as you defend the city,
No big deal, money can help!"
Duan Rui is a bit older than Feng Qi, so when he is called "brother", he not only doesn't feel offended, but even feels very friendly.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
He knew what Feng Qi was capable of.
Feng Qi helped him get this county magistrate.
"With these words from brother, I feel relieved." Duan Rui cupped his hand.
Feng Qi did not return the favor, but slapped his chest with his fat hand, "I, Feng Qi, will never harm my brothers, you must hold on."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked down the city wall, returned to his mansion, and summoned the most caring and loyal forty or so swordsmen.
Sprinkle business money and silk on the ground.
"Brothers, you have followed me, Feng, for many years, through life and death. These money and silk are all yours."
The hall was extremely quiet for a moment.
The diners looked at Feng Qi in surprise.
"If you can help Feng escape from this difficulty and escort him to the Western Regions safely, I will repay you ten times today." Feng Qi handed over to everyone.
Money can help you.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward.
Just the money in front of them can allow them to live comfortably for more than ten years.
Ten times as much, you can live a lifetime of fine clothing and fine food.
"We have been favored by the master and will definitely protect him to the Western Regions." The guests knelt in front of Feng Qi with fists clasped, and no one refused.
Feng Qi was quite gratified. He had carefully collected these customers one by one. He knew the basics and would never make any subtlety.
Later, Feng Qi called Concubine Ji again.
"This money is enough for you to support yourself in your old age. From now on, you can find a farmer and live peacefully."
The concubines were crying and crying.
"Let's go, let's go." Feng Qi waved.
The women finally left.
"How can Master not want Yue Ji?" The most beautiful Han Ji came back and knelt in front of him.
Although Wuwei City is his base camp, it is not his home.
How many lonely nights had this woman accompanied him.
Feng Qi's eyes couldn't help but soften, "Get up."
This sentence is undoubtedly a promise.
The guest happily went down with his property and the woman.
Feng Qi, on the other hand, was leaning on the couch alone, drinking Pu Tao wine as usual.
The sweet and cool taste spread from the tip of the tongue into the intestines and stomach, and the body seemed to be released in an instant.
"This Wuwei City is in good condition. Even the Qiang and Hu can't attack it. Why does the master want to leave? What a pity for such a big family property." Yue Ji sighed while rubbing her shoulders for him.
"If your family fortune is gone, you can still make more money. If your life is gone, you have nothing." Feng Qi opened his eyes.
"Why is the master so afraid of Yang Zheng? I heard that he was just a military slave." Yue Ji said a little too much.
Feng Qi shook his head, "I am indeed a little afraid of him, but I am even more afraid of another person."
"Oh? Who could that be?" Yue Ji's beautiful eyes were shining, and her nails painted with impatiens juice and her onion-like jade fingers looked particularly elegant.
At this moment, she leaned down and breathed blue into Feng Qi's ear, and her evil hands slowly crossed the line.
Normally, Feng Qi would breathe quickly and then burst into tears, but today Feng Qi didn't react at all, and his voice became deeper, "You have worked hard these years."
"It's not hard for a slave to serve the master." Yue Ji's face turned red and she looked particularly charming.
"What a pity, what a pity."
"What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that your master is not me!" Feng Qi suddenly grabbed Yue Ji's hands, but there was no trace of intoxication in his eyes.
The gloomy murderous intention made his face become ferocious.
This look on a fat man's face is even more terrifying, like a ferocious beast suddenly awakening.
Yue Ji screamed, "Master, master..."
"I have told you that your master is not me." Feng Qi grabbed Yue Ji's swan-like neck with his backhand, "For the sake of accompanying me for so many years, I just let you live, but it's a pity that you didn't want to let me.
To survive, I can't fight Yang Zheng, I can't fight Chen Tai, and I can't fight our master, so I can only run away."
Yue Ji's screams stopped suddenly, and her body slowly fell limply into Feng Qi's arms.
"Don't blame me. Since you got involved, you will definitely be where you are today."
Where does Feng Qi's face still look like the businessman he once was?
In Wuwei City, a column of smoke rose into the sky.
