Chapter 950: The two most powerful armies in the world start a formal confrontation
"Go to the car and get some food."
Qin Hui looked at the child and said to Wang.
Mrs. Wang understood the idea, went to the carriage and rummaged through it, and took out a few pieces of honey.
Qin Hui took it and walked towards the farm boy.
His family was backward, and he made a living as a private school teacher, specializing in teaching young children. That's why he lamented, "If I get 300 acres of paddy fields, I won't be the Hozen King this time." The "Hozen King" is the king of children, and he obviously doesn't want to discipline him anymore.
Those naughty kids.
However, in order to make a living, Qin Hui still worked as a private school teacher until he met Mr. Wang and had delicious soft rice.
Now, he showed off his ability to be the king of children and came to the front with a very contagious smile: "My child, how old are you?"
This was originally a very ordinary greeting, but in exchange for a very unexpected answer, the peasant boy said: "I am five years old."
Qin Hui's eyes widened slightly.
How fucking five years old??
Although he is from a peasant family, one can tell at a glance that his family is not wealthy, but his frame is too big and his body is strong. He looks completely normal for being seven or eight years old. Some people would believe him if he was ten years old...
Looking at his body with weak legs even after walking for a while, Qin Hui couldn't help but feel sad, sniffed and said: "My baby is strong, he will definitely be a good soldier in the future... Come, eat a piece of honey."
sugar!"
The peasant boy looked at the candy but did not take it: "Thank you, scholar, I won't eat it."
Qin Hui praised: "As expected of Xiangzhou, he has outstanding people. He knows how to call us scholars scholars, and he also knows not to eat what is eaten! My dear, did the scholars of the Han family teach you?"
The peasant boy looked at Qin Hui.
"This child is not simple..."
Qin Hui narrowed his eyes slightly. He had taught so many children, but he had never seen one like this. He was not very clever, but he had a calmness that was rare for children.
As the saying goes, three years old makes you look older, and seven years old makes you look older. He inexplicably wanted to change his child. He turned around and was about to leave, but he was injured and coughed violently: "Cough cough! Cough cough!"
A peasant woman heard the noise and came out. Seeing that he was young, pale, and old and sick, she did not dislike him. Instead, she greeted him warmly: "Since the scholar is passing by, if you don't dislike the poverty of the farmhouse, come in and rest."
have a rest!"
Qin Hui bowed his waist slightly, knowing that he had made it all the way here and that he really couldn't move anymore. Otherwise, if he escaped from the court's pursuit, he would be seriously injured and die, so he could only hold his hands and say: "Thank you!"
Mrs. Wang came over, supported him, and entered the farmhouse together. She found that although the family was not rich, it was not poor either. On the contrary, it was fully furnished. There were two bows hanging on the rough walls made of rammed loess.
Apparently used for hunting.
Qin Hui felt relieved when he saw it like this. He used to teach the children of ordinary people in Jinling. Rich people would not let a poor man like him come to teach. They all went to the big academy. With the influence of the Han family's academic atmosphere in Xiangzhou
, it’s not surprising that such a doll can be produced.
With this thought in mind, he handed over the candy in his hand and said, "This is for the young master. A little care is nothing."
The child looked at his mother, and the peasant woman nodded slightly. Then he took it, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, scholar!"
But he didn't eat it and kept it in his arms.
The two sides began to talk, and Qin Hui learned that the family's surname was Yue, the peasant woman was Yao, and the peasant child was named Fei, ranked fifth, with four brothers and one sister.
Mrs. Yao quickly mentioned the reason why her family's conditions were acceptable. Hebei was the first to be hit by disasters in the Central Plains, but it was also the fastest to stabilize. Moreover, since the fight against the bullies, not to mention ordinary farmers and tenant farmers, things have been much better.
Those who are usually arrogant and domineering have their tail between their legs and do not dare to make mistakes.
Such a posture cannot be maintained for long, and it will eventually return to its old ways, but these few years have indeed been peaceful. Yao said sincerely: "Your Majesty is kind and loving to the people. We will live better and better days. This child will have enough food and will grow taller."
quick!"
Qin Hui and his wife couldn't bear to hear Xin Chao's good words, so they forced out a smile and echoed a few times. Seeing that this Yao family was not an uncultured peasant woman, but rather knowledgeable, they happened to ask: "I'll wait for Qianli
I came all the way here because I admire the noble demeanor of the Han family in Xiangzhou, especially if I want to visit the academy. I wonder if there are any taboos?"
Qin Hui claimed that his surname was Wang, and Yao said: "Xiucai Wang, don't worry, the Han Academy has always been open. Many scholars come here every year, and they are all warmly received. I have never heard of any taboos, but..."
She paused and hesitated.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly sighed: "To be honest with Aunt Yao, my husband has long wanted to visit the Han Family's Wanji Hall. He has been talking about it. Now that he is seriously ill, he has not forgotten to come here, hoping to fulfill his last wish..."
When Xiao Yuefei heard this, he looked at Qin Hui again. After hearing what she said was so miserable, Yao felt soft-hearted: "Then you came at the wrong time. The imperial court is investigating the Han family!"
Qin Hui's heart sank. Just when he was about to ask again, there was a knock on the door. Wan Qixi came over. After saluting and introducing him, he made a look: "Brother Qin!"
Qin Hui confessed his crime and walked out. He heard Wan Qixi whisper: "I just inquired about it. I'm afraid the Han family is going to suffer. Their previous evil deeds in Xiangzhou have been exposed and the court has investigated!"
Even though Qin Hui was mentally prepared, it was still hard to accept: "How could it be so? The Han family in Xiangzhou is a noble family of two dynasties, comparable to aristocratic families... When did the status of the scholar-bureaucrats like us drop so low?"
Wan Qixi shook his head and sighed: "The high-ranking family died long ago. I can understand the current big family. The promotion of King Yan is the most important thing for both dynasties. Once King Yan is not happy, it is a remnant of the previous dynasty. What does it mean?
?”
Qin Hui thought about it carefully and gritted his teeth and said: "But we have no other place to go. Once the wanted notices are published in various states and counties, it will be difficult. Only a wealthy family like the Han family can secretly support us and prevent us from being caught by outsiders."
What I saw…”
Wan Qixi lowered his head slightly and glanced at Qin Hui covertly.
Qin Hui didn't pay attention and turned to look at the farmhouse: "What does this family say?"
Wan Qixi said: "The owner of this family is called Yue He. He is a simple man. He has hundreds of acres of farmland at home, which are all barren. Farming is quite hard, and he can only have enough food and clothing. However, this man is extremely loyal. In times of famine, even if his family eats
Even if he is half full, he still helps the victims, and his reputation is excellent."
Qin Hui's eyes lit up: "Okay! This kind of person must be respected by the villagers, and he is an upright person. No wonder his wife and children are knowledgeable. If we can get him to come forward, it will be convenient for us to contact the Han family."
Wan Qixi sighed: "That's what happened. Yue He was summoned by the Yushitai. Now wherever the Yushi goes, he asks for the opinions of people with outstanding reputations in the countryside. Yue He was summoned. I want to come."
I’m also asking about Han’s situation.”
Qin Hui took a deep breath, returned to the house, thought again and again, and finally waved to the five-year-old boy: "Yue Xiaolangjun, come here, I have a favor to ask you!"
…
"I have made contributions to the new dynasty! I have made contributions to the new dynasty!
In the Han family's ancestral home, Han Misun's shrill voice echoed in all directions.
Han Misun and Han Jinsun were cousins, belonging to the third house. They had always had business acumen. They established the Anyang Guild early to monopolize the business in Xiangzhou, and even wanted to expand to the entire north. For this reason, they even had conflicts with the Zhending Wang family.
.
What Han Misun was howling at this time was that the food and grass for the township army at the beginning was indeed provided by big families such as the Han family in Xiangzhou, the Wang family in Zhending, the Lu family in Damingfu, and the Chai family in Cangzhou.
But that was to resist the Liao people.
When the Liao army went south, Hebei was the first to bear the brunt. Once they looted the territory, none of the local big families would be able to please them. Therefore, when Li Yan formed a township army to fight against the Liao people, the local big families would enthusiastically support him.
After all, it is cost-effective for the rural soldiers to go to the front line to fight hard. They only support some supplies in the rear and can get close to this rising civilian force.
As a result, the Liao people have not retreated yet, they are just showing signs of decline. The township army regiment and the township brave regiment are preparing to attack Yanyun, and Han Misun's food and grass support is unstable...
Even Han Jiayan knew that although his nephew's business skills were good, he was too concerned with profits and was short-sighted in the overall situation, so the Han family did not regard themselves as a founding hero.
Of course, if outsiders think so, Han will definitely not deny it, but he just doesn't want to remind you of some unpleasant past.
Li Yan didn't think of that either. He never cared about such trivial matters. Now the Yushitai has chosen the Han family in Xiangzhou and the Kong family in Qufu as the first targets. The reason is very simple. Their families have great business and have the greatest influence.
If we don't attack both families first, what deterrent will we have to do the next thing?
Of course, everything is based on the laws of Yan Ting. This time Gongsun Zhao personally led the team here precisely to ensure that there is no slander at all, that every piece of evidence is detailed, well-founded, and made public.
And the first one to be captured was Han Misun.
Gongsun Zhao spoke in a cold tone and slammed a stack of eucalyptus records in front of him: "In order to strengthen the guild, you took advantage of the plunder and bribed the officials of the former dynasty. You imprisoned merchants who had any business conflicts with you at will, tortured them, and crowned them.
For serious crimes, these are the thirty-seven people found so far. They all died tragically in prison. If their families did not avoid disaster, many of them would also be killed. The blood debt is shocking. Now I am taking you back for interrogation. Do you have any objections?"
[To be honest, I have recently updated it, switched sources, and have many reading sounds, yeguoyuedu. Available on Android and Apple.]
The incriminating evidence was flipped in front of him. Han Misun only read a few lines, then opened his mouth and collapsed to the ground. The other Han family members were even more silent.
Since Han Qi "presided over three dynasties and established two emperors", the Han family has occupied half of Xiangzhou's land, with great power and huge influence. It can be called a country within a country.
The Kong family in Qufu has a long history and has continued through dynasties, but in terms of the scope of influence in the past hundred years, it is really not as good as the Han family in Xiangzhou. Once a detailed investigation is carried out, how many people's crimes will be found out? How can this be possible!
Gongsun Zhao glanced at those people who were timid and timid, and then started to attack them.
I don’t expect everyone to be a moral gentleman and not make the slightest mistake, but those who have many lives in their hands should be severely punished!
Just as the largest clan in the world was trying to truly abide by the laws of the imperial court, a personal attendant came to tell him:
"Doctor, there is a child outside. He is only five years old and a big boy. He said he wants to report a scholar who is suspected of being a thief."
