Xiang Jianlong and Yang Zaili had left Jingyun Village before nightfall, and soon saw Feng Changyu, Feng Jin and Xizhen running over in panic surrounded by a group of soldiers.
Han Qian rushed over and grabbed Feng Changyu's collar, shouting angrily: "Master Feng, Master Xi, if you want to take someone's head, just chop it off with a knife. When someone came to the door, Han Qian didn't even think about it.
Go back alive! Just hack me to death. This is a hundred times better than being stabbed to death by a woman with a sword or burned to death!"
"Master Han, this is really a misunderstanding, this is really a misunderstanding! How could Feng harm Mr. Han?" Feng Changyu was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and finally struggled out of Han Qian's hands with the help of Xi Zhen and Feng Jin.
, explained in embarrassment.
"What the hell is a misunderstanding? Could it be that I conjured up this female assassin? Could it be that I set this fire? Just kill me. My father will send troops to raze your Jingyun Village to the ground!" Han
Qian was furious and yelled angrily, looking frightened.
Gao Shao, Tian Cheng and others stood aside, feeling that the young actor was too exaggerated. They thought to themselves, you were the one who started the fire with an oil lamp!
Jingyun Village is mostly made of bamboo and wood buildings, which can easily cause fires, but the villagers also attach great importance to fire prevention.
In addition to the large water tanks in front of and behind the building, in addition to the west wall of the village, there is also a three or four-acre water storage pond on the hillside. Han Qian had previously thought that the pond was mainly for Xizhai.
The terraced fields outside were used for irrigation, but it was only then that we learned that Jingyun Village also had culverts that could directly introduce the water from the pit pond into the village, so that the villagers could have a large amount of water for firefighting.
The fire was quickly controlled, and it only burned down the wooden building where Han Qian and the others lived. It was really a pity for Han Qian. It seemed that it would be difficult to send one or two people to sneak into Jingyun Village and set it on fire.
Seeing Ji Kun standing behind the crowd and watching with nothing, Han Qian wondered if Ji Li was being a troublemaker behind his back. He continued to stare angrily at Feng Changyu and said, "I came here this time to do my best to be the third prince."
We are psychologically prepared to retaliate, but whether it is killing or beheading, Lord Feng, please be honest. There is no need to torture Han with such means! Lord Ji is also here. Lord Feng simply gives us a few bowls of poisonous wine to drink. It is better than death.
It's so painful, it's better than being teased mercilessly!"
Feng Changyu looked at his concubine who was still struggling after being held down by his subordinates, and was speechless when Han Qian asked him.
What could he say?
Han Daoxun, Han Qian and his son killed Xi Cheng, Zhang Xiaochuan, Liu Bin and others in order to treat the prison riot as a prisoner's roar and prevent others from using it to mess up the situation in Xuzhou. Is it possible that he still
Do you want to explain that Xi Cheng, Zhang Xiaochuan, Liu Bin and others were actually ordered by them to admit the crime of colluding with internal and external parties and condoning prisoners' riots?
However, he couldn't say this clearly, so how could he explain his concubine's assassination at night?
"I have no intention of harming Mr. Han, but this girl is indeed my concubine. I don't know who inspired her to assassinate Mr. Han. At this time, I can only leave it to Mr. Han to deal with it.
This proves my innocence." When Feng Changyu saw Han Qian mention Ji Kun, he turned around and saw Ji Kun's eyes were sinister. He also suspected that Ji Kun might be behind the scenes. In that case, if he didn't want the disobedient Xi Rong
There is also the possibility that Ji Kun will take advantage of him, so it would be most appropriate to hand him over to Han Qian.
The status of concubines in this world was extremely low, not much higher than that of slaves. It was very common in this world to pay off debts or give concubines as gifts to friends.
Although Xi Rong is beautiful, at Feng Changyu's age, he is somewhat powerless when it comes to beauty and cannot enjoy it. There is nothing to regret about leaving it to Han Qian.
And for a person like him, he takes very little interest in personal relationships. Even if Han Qian takes Xi Rong back to his room and abuses her, he won't even frown.
Seeing that Feng Changyu was also a ruthless character and actually handed over the person directly, Han Qian was also slightly startled. He just wanted to give Feng Changyu more benefits during the negotiation, but he never thought about taking over this hot potato!
"Father!" Feng Jin shouted dissatisfied. In addition to being reluctant to ridicule Rong, he also didn't want to see his father treating the Han family and his son too weakly.
"Okay!" Feng Changyu stopped Feng Jin from saying anything else. He immediately had Xi Yin kidnapped and handed over to Han Qian for disposal. He also ordered that the weapons surrendered in the stronghold be returned to the three guards around Han Qian and to Han Qian.
Qian and the others moved to another wooden building to stay temporarily to settle the assassination dispute tonight.

"Did Ji Kun instigate you to assassinate me?"
Han Qian pulled up a chair and sat down, put his chin up, and stared at Mrs. Xi who was tied up with a chair under the lamp. He saw that even though her hair was messy, there were bloodstains on her cheeks, and her eyes were covered with Zhao Wuji's words.
The boy was beaten mercilessly until it became swollen, but he still couldn't hide his unparalleled beauty.
"Bah!" Mrs. Xi spat in Han Qian's face.
Han Qian cleverly ducked to the side.
Gao Shao stood behind Han Qian and wanted to enjoy the good show of young master Han Qian Ye Meiren. Unexpectedly, he was spit on his chest by Mrs. Xi. He secretly shouted bad luck and walked outside the door, squatting with Tian Cheng
.
"Master, we don't really want to keep Mrs. Xi, do we?" Although Zhao Ting'er said that she was worried that Han Qian would be greedy for this woman's beauty and keep her by his side, which would make them wary in the future, but she also sympathized with Mrs. Xi's fate of being treated as an abandoned son.
, I was also hesitating and struggling in my heart.
"I would like to buy two porn girls to give me a bath and rub my shoulders, but if I keep her, do I think my life is too long?" Han Qian said haha.
"But Mrs. Xi is also a poor person," Zhao Ting'er said struggling in her heart, "How about we take her out and let her go when we get to Qianyang City?"
"What's wrong with her life? You see, she has such tender skin and tender flesh. Her brother worked for Feng Changyu and sucked many people's blood to bring her up like this. She also married Feng Changyu.
Concubine, wearing silk and jade, her life is much better than those skinny slaves in this village." Han Qian reached out to touch Mrs. Xi's fragrant chin, and saw Mrs. Xi opening her mouth to bite him. He was so frightened that he almost trembled.
After his finger was bitten off, he was so angry that he took the hilt of the knife and wanted to slap Madam Xi's beautiful face a few times, threatening her and saying, "You are not honest to me. I really thought that I was really reluctant to destroy flowers with my own hands. Wait."
When you return to Qianyang City, I will sell your little bitch to a prostitute village."
"Using two words in a row to emphasize it, it's obvious that I can't bear to leave." Zhao Ting'er muttered in a low voice.
Han Qian didn't hear clearly what Zhao Ting'er said, but when he saw Mrs. Xi closing her eyes and ignoring him, he felt bored. He thought about how the guy Ji Kun looked so bright when he saw him just now. Apparently Gao Bao hadn't found a chance to drug him yet, and he was thinking about it.
I'm worried that Gao Bao is too greedy and afraid of death, so he doesn't dare to take action. I'm thinking about finding another opportunity to beat this guy tomorrow.
Han Qian had already figured out the mentality of Feng Changyu and the other four surnames. Maybe they had disloyal intentions, but they were not well prepared. They suddenly fell directly into a stalemate confrontation, which was definitely not what they wanted to see.
They also wanted to ease the situation and were unwilling to see the situation continue to deteriorate, so whether he or Ji Kun died in Jingyun Village, they would not be happy to see it.
They wanted to kill Ji Kun and his party in Jingyun Village, which was too difficult, but once Ji Kun and his party left Jingyun Village, they would be surrounded by high mountains. Even if they sent Gao Shao, Tian Cheng and others into the deep mountains and old forests to hunt down Ji Kun
Not only are they not guaranteed to kill Ji Kun and others, they may even be bitten by Ji Kun and others, causing unnecessary casualties.
In deep mountains and old forests with complex terrain, having more people doesn’t necessarily mean you have an advantage.
Ji Kun and others are extremely skilled, and their ability to survive in the wild, counter reconnaissance, and counter hunting is no less than that of Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others.
However, if Ji Kun and others took laxatives and had diarrhea for two or three days, the situation would be completely different.
Han Qian still wanted to find an opportunity to beat Gao Bao, but at noon the next day, he was dragged to the village hall for a banquet by Feng Changyu. Seeing that Ji Kun and his two subordinates looked a little pale, he guessed that Gao Bao had done it last night or early this morning.
He should have taken advantage of the chaos and drugged the food of Ji Kun and his subordinates. He pretended to be ignorant and did not shy away from Ji Kun's presence. He directly asked Feng Changyu and Xi Zhen whether they had sent anyone to Qianyang City to negotiate with his father.
.
In front of Ji Kun, Feng Changyu was also embarrassed, so he had to say that the people they sent set off early in the morning. Even if they went down the Jingyun River much faster than Han Qian and the others, they should have just arrived at this time.
Arrive at Qianyang City.
Xuzhou is located in a remote area, and the four surnames do not need to worry about the issue of direct heirs. After all, no matter who sits in that position, the policy towards Xuzhou cannot be significantly changed. However, they do not know whether Han Daoxun will soon be replaced by his cousin Xu.
He was replaced by ministers from the Anning Palace, so he was unwilling to discuss these matters with Han Qian in front of Ji Kun.
And they originally thought that Han Qian would not want to leak the secret agreement between them to his relatives, the Xu family, and the Anning Palace family, but they never thought that Han Qian's thoughts were beyond their ability to figure out?
Han Qian laughed and said nothing more.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that if any amount of food was taken directly from the four surnames, it would eventually be passed on to the poor native people. This was something his father never wanted to see and never wanted to do.
What they have to do in this negotiation is, first, to take over the two positions of city magistrate and jailer.
The city magistrate is responsible for the collection of business and parking taxes. Since the previous dynasty, this official position has been held by native surnames.
Han Qian suggested that his father take the jailers into his hands, because even if he took over the state camp, most of the state soldiers were indigenous people, which was really difficult to control. There were still a small number of jailers, and the jailers had been purged this time.
, easier to control.
In addition, according to the law, prisoners with light punishments can use money to atone for their crimes, and even put prisoners in state prisons to exploit them to the fullest extent. This is also an important financial source for the state government and the officials below.
Of course, with these two official positions in hand, it is impossible to collect 5 million yuan every year and send it to Jinling. And if his father really wants to accomplish anything in Xuzhou, he also needs to subsidize a lot of money and grain.
Not to mention other things, even if the jailer team is to be reorganized and the jailers and jailers are not exploited and exploited, the public money originally allocated to the state prison is far from enough. And Han Qian also wants his father to build a government office in Xuzhou.
Shipyard or craftsmanship shop, which one does not require a large amount of money and food to be started in advance?
The most substantive request for the four surnames is to force them to transport Xuzhou's products to Jinling and establish trade relations with the warehouse controlled by Zuo Si; as long as the four surnames directly organize the total value of goods shipped to Jinling for sale every year, the total value is not less than 10 million
For money, there is no need for the four surnames to pay extra tribute - of course, in order to make up for Zuosi's lack of manpower, the fleet will recruit sailors and sailors from Xuzhou, and they will also directly ask to recruit Feng Xuan by name without any hesitation.
Some prisoners from state prisons were even forced into the fleet to serve as hard labor.
Han Qian could talk directly to Feng Changyu, Xi Zhen and the others, but people always have to go back and forth a few more times and contact them a few more times before they can dispel their wariness...
