"Dog thief, dog thief, don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will crush you to ashes!" Ding Wei's voice echoed back and forth in the lobby of the Ye County government office the next evening.
In this era, communication basically relies on shouting. News spreads very slowly. Yang Xingyan launched the "Begging Ding, Han Xiwen framed and framed the blame and humiliated his meritorious service" yesterday at noon on Sanshan Island. It took a day and a half for it to reach his
in the ears.
At the same time, "civil uprisings" occurred one after another in surrounding counties, and the bad news that the Chunyang Sect had officially launched a rebellion was officially sent to his desk.
The situation took a turn for the worse and far exceeded his expectations.
In his expectation, he and Han Qing could seize the county magistrate of Ye County and wait for Wang Qinruo to send Xiang troops to respond. Then, they could use their overwhelming superiority to block the naval camp gate and force Yang Xingyan to leave on his own initiative.
Outside the camp, accept the court's final decision.
However, Ding Wei could not have imagined that Yang Xingyan would directly raise the flag and rebel, and even roped in the Chunyang Sect and Yan, Yang, Zhu, Zheng, and the other five major surnames to join forces.
Although according to the current news, some officials among the five major surnames have rejected Yang Xingyan's solicitation and decisively drew a clear line with him by exchanging letters and beheading envoys. However, the news only comes from within a day's journey of Ye County.
He simply could not predict how other officials further away would choose.
At the moment, neither he nor Han Qing are in Qingzhou, and Wang Qinruo, the economic and pacification envoy, is sitting alone in Luzhi, surrounded by local officials. It is hard to say whether Wang Qinruo can sit firmly in the Chinese military tent without being hijacked or bewitched by those people.
If Wang Qinruo is accidentally kidnapped by the Five Great Surnames, or if he takes the initiative to compromise with the Five Great Surnames in exchange for the stability of the entire Jingdong East Road, both he and Han Qing may be thrown out to quell the Five Great Surnames' anger.
By then, with the support of the Han family's elders, Han Qing might be able to be transferred to another official position. He Ding said, his future might be ruined!
"Shu, calm down. Even if you are mad at yourself, Yang won't stop at the cliff!" Seeing Ding Wei's chaos, Han Qing poured a cup of tea for him with his own hands, and held one in his hand.
While drinking, I laughed and laughed.
There was no need for the other party to be anxious at the moment. He had completely relaxed since he led his troops into the city. In addition to sleeping soundly, he took Dou Sha to register the rescued young men and women according to their names, place of origin, and ages.
No longer caring about the storm outside the city, it was as if Yang Xingyan's reaction had nothing to do with him.
"Of course he will not rein in his horse, but above the court, there will be a clear stream of people cheering for him!" Ding Wei took the tea cup, drank two big mouthfuls of it, and responded breathlessly, "If Wang Jinglue is okay,
Fortunately, if Wang Jinglue cannot withstand the situation and is kidnapped by the five surnames and their servants, the court will definitely find a way to coax Yang Xingyan to withdraw his troops first, and then ask other questions!"
Worried that Han Qing would take it lightly, he paused, lowered his voice, and added through gritted teeth, "Don't take it seriously. When you reach a certain level, you have no right or wrong in your heart. You have to ask first in everything, whether it is beneficial to the Song Dynasty."
.I have seen this kind of thing where loyal ministers and good generals are sacrificed to appease traitors."
What he couldn't believe was that Han Qing still didn't show any worried expression on his face after listening to his words. He slowly took a few sips of hot tea before saying with a smile: "The princes in the court will not be so worried.
Should we make a decision soon? We have to fight Yang Xingyan and others first to decide the outcome!"
"Do you think that just with the help of our three thousand brothers, you can defeat Yang Xingyan and the Chunyang Sect together?" Ding Wei was stunned and frowned slightly, "I admit that you are brave and good at fighting. But the three of us
Qianduo brothers, if they go to war, they have to worry about being captured by others. If they stay behind closed doors, Yang Xingyan and the rebels of the Chunyang Sect can divide their troops to attack cities and seize territory elsewhere as long as they surround Ye County. At that time, you and I will send you
There is no news, and wars are raging in other states and counties, how can the princes in the court calm down and wait."
"You and I can go ahead and ask the officials, Prime Minister Wang, and Prime Minister Kou to get ready." Han Qing thought for a while and quickly gave a solution.
"That can only delay it for a while." Ding Wei glanced at him and continued to frown, "Go quickly, you write it, and I will sign it. Although I am now above you in official position, reporting lawlessness, detecting and suppressing rebellions are not
It’s within your scope of responsibility.”
"It's already written, just waiting for the signature of the central government." Han Qing responded calmly, put down the tea cup, took a written memorial from beside him and handed it over.
"Have you already written it?" Ding Wei was stunned again and blurted out his questioning words, "Have you long expected that Yang would collude with the Chunyang Sect to rebel?"
"I didn't expect it, but I knew he wouldn't be willing to sit back and wait for death. Then, he only has two options left, either sailing a boat to sea, or leading troops to rebel." Han Qing shook his head, his voice still unhurried.
"You..." Ding Wei looked Han Qing up and down. The more he looked, the more he felt that the other person seemed to be hiding something from him. "What other preparations have you made in advance? Tell me quickly, don't make me anxious. Now, I have already
Totally tied to you!"
"A few days ago, when I asked Wang Jinglue for instructions according to Shu Zhi's order, I was reminded to be careful of the Yan family and the Yang family." Han Qing did not hide anything and immediately responded with a smile. "In addition, Shu Zhi also
Don’t worry about the five surnames joining forces. Not every family head among the five surnames is crazy!”
"You mean, among the five surnames, there are some who will not respond to the Yang family and the Yan family?" Ding Wei keenly captured the key information, and was suddenly surprised and happy, "Or except for the Yan family and the Yang family, the other three families will not respond.
Are you colluding with them? How do you know? You, you, you secretly communicated with the other three companies in advance!"
Han Qing did not answer his words, but just smiled and asked, "Hasn't Shu Zhi ever wondered why I learned before the Spring Festival that food prices were about to skyrocket, and secretly went to the south to buy old rice?"
"Among the five surnames, someone is betrayed, no, someone secretly reported that the Yan family wanted to raise food prices!" Ding said that he was worthy of being a first-class Jinshi, and he immediately guessed the truth behind the scenes, "They contacted you secretly and informed Yan
Every move of the family. That’s why you took the lead step by step and made the Yan family’s behavior of speculating on food a failure!”
"Yes, I also took them with me and made them a lot of money. In the end, the only ones who really lost the food were the Yan family and the Yang family." Han Qing smiled and continued to nod lightly, "And I
So I am well-informed, and I was able to grasp several rudder positions of Chunyang Sect so quickly, thanks to the help of those three families to guide me!"
"They, they, why do they want to help you? What do they ask for?" Knowing that Han Qing was telling the truth, Ding Wei couldn't believe his ears, "What benefits did you promise them? Official vacancy?"
Money? Or turn a blind eye to his past crimes?"
The smile on Han Qing's face gradually disappeared, and what he said was resounding, "They don't want the Chunyang Sect to make a mess of the place and break their foundation! They don't want to be stepped on by the Yan family forever. In addition, they don't
I am optimistic that the Yan family and the Yang family can defeat me in a fight together. I don’t think that plundering my own people and selling them to the Liao Kingdom will be tolerated by heaven!"
"That's right, people and gods are angry at abducting their own kind!" Ding Wei finally got a glimpse of the whole story, and a little of the annoyance in his heart suddenly dissipated.
However, after lowering his head and taking a few sips of water, he continued to say worriedly, "These can at most prevent Wang Jinglue from being kidnapped by the Yan family and the Yang family, but they can't stop the Chunyang Sect and Yang Xingyan from joining forces to cause chaos.
Right now, Yang Xingyan is confusing right and wrong, and keeps saying that he rebelled because he was forced by you and me..."
"Write a short composition, I understand this!" A sentence suddenly came out of Han Qing's mouth that made Ding Wei confused. "The mouth is on him, and I can't cover it for a while."
"But..." After a short pause, he shook his head with a smile, "There must be justice in this world. Shuzhi, I have registered all the rescued children. Except for the fifty or so, they were all kidnapped.
The biological parents were sold by their biological parents, or their biological parents are no longer alive. The remaining 270 or so people still have family members and tribesmen on Jingdong East Road, the adjacent Jingdong East Road, and Huainan East and West Road."
"What's the use of that? The war is in chaos right now, and their family members can't come to claim them?" Ding Wei was confused and said with a frown.
Han Qing breathed out softly and said in a very soft but very firm voice: "I will publicly post their names, place of origin, and ages in the city and nearby counties, and invite their families to come and claim them when they have the opportunity. In addition, I will
A stage will also be set up in the city, and a few young men and women will be put on it every day to tell how they were robbed and what happened to them on the island!"
"You, you..." Ding Wei suddenly realized it again, and then pointed at Han Qing in shock, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.
With his cold heart, after hearing what happened to the Liu brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but secretly shed tears of sympathy. If Han Qing allowed these children to tell their own experiences in public, how many people in Ye County would shed tears on the spot.
, and then filled with righteous indignation.
Most parents regard their children as their thorns in the heart. Knowing that their lost children are still alive in the world, I am afraid that many people will risk being killed by rebel soldiers and come to Ye County to take their children home.
By then, wherever they go, the crimes of the Yang family will be spread.
And when the common people spread the truth about what they have experienced and heard, how many people will still believe Yang Xingyan's words? The reputations of the Yan and Yang families are probably as bad as those of others.
A hundred miles away, you can still find a few people who sincerely follow you.
In the end, I am afraid that all the clear streamers in the court who are willing to say good things for Yan and Yang will have to shut up or turn back. Otherwise, the clear stream will become a turbid stream, and they will no longer be able to speak with their mouths.
Bewitch anyone!
"The Chunyang Sect claims to be ordered by Lu Dongbin to wipe out evil spirits and save all suffering in the world. This time I want to see how they can turn Yang Xingyan's deeds of robbing, abducting and selling his own people into doing justice for heaven!" The goal that Han Qing was trying to achieve.
, but thought of more than Ding Wei thought, smiled and added very calmly.
