Chapter 20 The Countdown to End the Nightmare
Zhao Jiaren can still see that his expectant father-in-law is not optimistic about him. Zhao Jiaren is very unhappy when he feels underestimated. He doesn't want to be angry with his future father-in-law. He wants to eradicate the Pu family, which will not be recognized by many people. The Pu family has been in the Song Dynasty for decades, and most of them think that the Pu family is from the Song Dynasty. In the entire Quanzhou, Zhao Jiaren is probably the only one who thinks that the Pu family belongs to the "non-my race".
If the Pu family had not personally experienced the Pu family colluding with Dashi, Chameng and Japanese pirates to slaughter the Zhao family and Huaixi soldiers in Quanzhou, Zhao Jiaren's views would probably be the same as those of the Song people in Quanzhou.
Zhao Jiaren's mood was completely overwhelmed at this time. When he looked up at his future father-in-law, he saw that the old Taishan Qin Huchen looked shocked and uneasy. Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "Why is Taishan so surprised?"
"...Sanlang, are you... resenting me?" Qin Huchen asked hesitantly.
"Resentment?" Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. A major problem with human thinking is that it is "far-fetched". Things that had nothing to do with him were just because they saw it by chance. From a psychological point of view, this is a human instinctive reaction. Zhao Jiaren was a little disappointed that his father-in-law had not yet reached the point of knowing him and restraining this impulse.
In order to unite the forces that can be united, Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "Taishan, I can sit in my position today, which is what I have always done only what I want to do. A few years before the blind date, I had learned that the Pu family was the pirate leader of Fujian Road, and at that time I was determined to deal with the Pu family. At this time, I was just making arrangements for the current situation. Please don't misunderstand Taishan."
This made Qin Huchen understand Zhao Jiaren's thoughts, but after a little thought, Qin Huchen's uneasiness became heavier. If Zhao Jiaren was not worried at this time, he would probably praise him for being calm. But after the Pu family was resolved, would this young man have any other ideas? Originally, Qin Huchen had prepared a lot of rhetoric and wanted to discuss with his prospective son-in-law about dealing with the Pu family. The postponement of the wedding date was actually just the beginning.
Seeing that things had completely broken out of their own ideas, Qin Huchen could only adjust the steps. He asked, "Sanlang, I just think it may not be a suitable time for you to deal with the Pu family at this time. If there is no fleet back this year, it is difficult for the fleet to return to the north. Should we make a decision after the taxes come up?"
Zhao Jiaren was not angry after hearing this question. In fact, he had thought about this question many times. At this time, someone asked, Zhao Jiaren had a way to vent his feelings. He brought some criminal prison to Fujian Road Qin Huchen, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. Zhao Jiaren said: "Shan Tai. Why hasn't I been able to touch the Pu family for decades? It's not because the Pu family is so secretive. There are indeed a few wine bags among the many Jinshis in the Song Dynasty, but most of the Jinshis are well-educated people who study hard, and they cannot see the harm of the Pu family. But these people probably have you
He was also confused by interests. The Pu family could indeed bring some taxes to the Song Dynasty, so compared with the Pu family's disaster, everyone felt that the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. In addition, the evil affairs of the Pu family became more and more secret, so everyone let him go. But after reading some books and "Bian Que Meets Cai Huan Gong", I felt that I understood the principle of eliminating evil. At this time, it was no longer a disease in the skin, but a disease in the hands and feet, and if it went down, it would be terminally ill. At this time, a hero must cut off his arm. I already had ideas about those tax matters, and as long as it could be implemented except for the Pu family, it would be done. So please don't worry. This matter will never disappoint Taishan."
The reason why Qin Huchen fell in love with Zhao Jiaren was because Zhao Jiaren had a bright future. At this time, he saw that this young man actually bet on his future and wanted to accomplish something that seemed almost difficult to accomplish, Qin Huchen couldn't help but feel frightened. His own precious daughter was Qin Huchen's heart. If Zhao Jiaren would bring her daughter a future that was destroyed, Qin Huchen would not care about regretting the marriage at all.
Now that he heard Zhao Jiaren's words, Qin Huchen felt that he had seen Zhao Jiaren's courage and decision. However, this did not make Qin Huchen feel that Zhao Jiaren's chances of winning have improved. It has always been very difficult to eliminate local snakes. Not to mention old snakes like the Pu family that have been in decades. After such a long period of operation, the Pu family may not be considered local snakes, and they even have the meaning of becoming a dragon.
Seeing Qin Huchen's unquestionable expression, Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "Taishan doesn't have to do anything. As long as you can stay in Quanzhou for a few days, let people know that you are in Quanzhou, just treat those people perfunctorily. I wonder if Taishan can help me?"
This is easy to say, but the meaning is not so easy. If Qin Huchen could not even agree to such a basic thing, the marriage between the two families would have to be broken. Qin Huchen also understood this matter. After thinking for a moment, he said decisively: "Sanlang's affairs are mine, and of course I have to help with this matter!"
As he said seriously, Qin Huchen really wanted to participate in the major event of destroying a wealthy family like the Pu family. Even if he was just watching from the outside, Qin Huchen was willing to try it out. This was not out of rational considerations, watching the excitement or watching the excitement, and this mood did not require rationality at all. Even from the perspective of rationality, the new arrival of Fujian Road, the criminal prison must maintain the same position as the Quanzhou Prefecture.
News of the arrival of the prison on Fujian Road to Quanzhou began to spread in a small way. The official of the prison on Fujian has been paying attention to tax collection and not trial cases for many years. The local judges would not be so stupid that they really came to the prison on Qidian, and reluctantly asked him to act as the master of Qingtian.
There were very few people who came to visit the prison, and they only asked Qin Tidian if he came with his family. Since he had negotiated with Zhao Jiaren, Qin Tidian gave a hint with great skill.
This news also reached the Pu family because some of the people who came to visit were arranged by the Pu family. At this time, many people in Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse relied on the Pu family to make a living. As long as the Pu family pushes it a little, these people are of course willing to help ask.
When Qin Tidian met Zhao Jiaren, he mentioned that there was an official from the Maritime Conservatory, or a relative of the Zhao clan. He actually said openly, hoping that Qin Tidian could help reconcile between Zhao Zhizhou and the Pu family, so that the two who had gaps could reconcile again. After talking about the Zhao clan's words, Qin Tidian couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hehe. Sanlang. I understand your difficulties now. I can actually make the Zhao clan take action. I didn't expect the Pu family to be so active."
Zhao Jiaren smiled slightly, "Shan Tai, the Pu family can not only find people to move. They do a lot of things. They lightly pirates and Japanese pirates in Champa to stop ships from returning to Quanzhou. They also incite the religious crowds in Jinjiang to cause trouble. If it were others, they would probably think that they would settle the small things first and then solve the Pu family. I don't think so. The Pu family is the root, and those people are flowers. If the root is broken, the flowers will wither in no time."
Qin Huchen was silent for a while before nodding. Zhao Jiaren's mind really touched him. This twenty-year-old young man has a tolerant heart.
