"Beside the official road, there are people and cars coming and going. You should sit down and talk." Han Qian motioned Han Donghu to sit in front of the herbal tea stall, and then said to Feng Liao with a smile, "I said these hands would be flawed. Indeed, there are burn scars.
No matter how well they are disguised, they still don’t look like a pair of old people’s hands.”
"Your Excellency has a distinguished status and is now under the suspicion of Emperor Yanyou. How can you venture into danger?" Han Donghu sat in front of the herbal tea stall and said excitedly, unable to control himself. He was more worried about Han Qian's situation than overturning the case.
.
Even if there is no suspicion, it is still a serious crime for Han Qian, as the governor of Fanzhou, to sneak back to the imperial capital privately.
"What's wrong with being noble? If I had done nothing because of fear all these years, I would have been unable to accomplish anything." Han Qian smiled slightly and seemed not to care about the fact that he was in danger at all.
What enlightenment.
Wasn't it dangerous for him to go to the Red Mansion alone at the beginning?
He advised Yang Yuanpu to defend Xichuan City together, wouldn't it be dangerous?
Isn't it dangerous for him to take more than a hundred people back to Jinling to seize the military power of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu?
Zhu Yu dared to go deep into Chu territory after the Jingxiang War. How could he be inferior to Zhu Yu?
Han Qian initially thought that it would be enough to send Feng Liao to Jinling secretly to deal with many matters, but after learning about the specific situation of the family clan's counterattack against Lian in Guangde Mansion in Xuzhou, he decided to make this trip himself.
More than 20 people were executed and more than 40 were maimed. Those were the number of unjust imprisonments carried out by the Guangde Government Office. Counting Anji, Guangde and Langxi counties, this number would triple.
In addition to the execution of a large number of innocent people, the aristocratic clans and landowners who had fled Anji, Guangde, and Langxi returned to the three counties one after another due to the turmoil caused by the assassination, overturning the previous plans when he established the Guangde military system and government.
The plan to replace land and houses was to take the old land deeds and house deeds and regain the land with the support of prefecture and county officials, causing a large number of former Guangde Army families to lose their land again.
Even though the situation has eased after Chen Jingzhou came out of Guangde Mansion, thousands of innocent people have been killed in the chaos of the past few months and are in a precarious situation.
According to Feng Liao's previous plan, even if Xue Ruogu stood up to reverse the case at the expense of his own life and that of his family, he could only let the truth of the matter spread in a small area and let the ministers above the court know that such a thing had happened.
, knowing that the truth of the assassination case was not what the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion had stated before.
But, can the verdict be truly overturned?
impossible.
The aristocratic clans launched a massive counterattack in Guangde Mansion and executed Lien. All of this was actually carried out with Yang Yuanpu's tacit approval.
Not only is Yang Yuanpu a representative figure in the court, but will Yang Yuanpu overturn his own case?
Feng Liao's previous thoughts were mainly to protect Xuzhou's interests as much as possible. He thought that as long as the truth about the assassination case could be revealed on a small scale and the attitude of the court officials towards Xuzhou was divided, the goal would be achieved.
Feng Liao was still used to thinking about using assassinations as bargaining chips, thinking about using people like Han Donghu as pawns, and then using some small means to recruit people like Han Donghu to form Xuzhou's intelligence network in Jinling.
Han Qian couldn't blame Feng Liao, but Feng Liao's actions were far from enough, and it was very likely that Xue Ruogu's family would lose their lives.
After Han Donghu calmed down a little, Han Qian said to him: "I am not wrong in this matter, and you are not wrong either. The family wants to exploit the slaves. If the slaves want to resist, it will be a life-and-death fight. Do you still want to pay no price at all?
Do you think that the aristocratic clans themselves will obediently agree to abolish the old system of slaves and slaves? Now, the matter involves the war between Liang, Shu, Jin and the Mongol people, and the matter will be even more complicated. The only thing we can do is to do it step by step, and don’t doubt easily
Oneself, deny oneself..."
"I..." Han Donghu watched the frequent tragedies that killed Lian Shengguang, and his heart was always in conflict and entanglement. Many truths were beyond his ability to distinguish. At this moment, listening to Han Qian's words, although he had some understanding, it was difficult to explain thoroughly.
It's just that my heart is shaking so much that I can't speak.
"You first try your best to secretly help Xue Ruogu find out the truth about the assassination. Until Xue Ruogu has some personal witnesses and physical evidence, I will meet with Xue Ruogu again and advise him not to act recklessly..." Han Qian said.
"If Chen Jingzhou hadn't arrived and stopped the county from taking back the newly cultivated slope lake fields, the implication would have been wider. But in addition to the unjust dead, there were 14,000 to 5,000 people in Guangde Prefecture who had their fields taken away. How would these people be arranged?
Please make it clear, sir." Han Donghu finally calmed down and said.
Hearing Han Donghu's words, Feng Liao was truly surprised, and felt a chill coming straight from his tailbone.
Before Chen Jingzhou came out of the Guangde Mansion, the family clan launched a fierce counterattack for three or four months. They took out the old land deeds and took back the land and houses from the former Guangde Army veterans and their family members. More than 10,000 people were involved. Feng Liao was involved in this matter.
Of course I know.
However, listening to Han Donghu's tone at this time, they had already been secretly colluding with the old soldiers of the Guangde Army and planning to do something big.
At this time, Feng Liao felt even more deeply about Han Qian's words that no one is willing to be a chess piece.
Han Donghu had enough feelings for Xuzhou, but before Han Qian showed up, he met Han Donghu twice before, but Han Donghu did not reveal any relevant information.
Feng Liao also shuddered when he thought that once Han Donghu, Su Lie and the old military attache of the Guangde Army jointly caused a large-scale civil unrest in Guangde Mansion.
If Xue Ruogu had coincidentally stepped forward to overturn the assassination case at that time, how could Yang Yuanpu not associate the two incidents?
Yang Yuanpu was suspicious by nature, and if it was discovered that the old man was secretly pushing for Xue Ruogu's transfer to Lishui County, then the trouble would really be huge.
Han Qian was also frowning and thinking at this time.
The news that he is in Jinling at this time cannot be known to more people for the time being, let alone show up to appease the more than 10,000 Guangde army veterans and young people who were executed and had their fields taken away. But if it is said
The old soldiers and military attachés of the Guangde Army have been secretly colluding with each other for some time. Obviously, it is not Han Donghu who can stop this uprising that has been secretly organized and implemented by standing up to dissuade him.
With just this few manpower, it wouldn't be too difficult to start an uprising next to Jinling's bed and suppress it, even if it didn't happen in a matter of minutes; let alone say anything that would damage Chu's vitality.
It's no wonder that Fu Gengwen gave up his job as the magistrate of Langxi County and went to Hunan to suffer the anger. He saw that this fire could not be suppressed. Even if he was eventually suppressed by the court, he was burned to ashes first.
Feng Liao is also secretly anxious. Most people are not rational, especially when they have long buried the fire of resistance deep in their chests and have been so widely punished and persecuted. Why should they be asked to sacrifice themselves and take the overall situation into consideration?
?
"We must start an uprising, but we cannot stop in Huzhou or Guangde. Before the uprising, we must prepare as many boats as possible in Taihu Lake and contact the water village forces in Taihu Lake. It is best to go to the north of Runzhou.
Jiang bandit!" Han Qian said, "I will find a way to meet Wang Wenqian..."
There are more than 10,000 old, weak, women and children, even if there are 3,000 or 4,000 strong and strong among them, but they lack the necessary armor and weapons, they are simply not qualified to confront the elite Forbidden Army who have gone through several bloody battles and are becoming powerful.
After the uprising, they moved to the Yangtze River as quickly as possible. With the help of the confrontation between the imperial court and King Xin Yang Yuanyan, they might be able to gain some living space.
No matter what happens, most of the old, weak, women and children can at least survive if they surrender to the Huaidong Kingdom.
It is not possible to escape into the mountains. Once they are blocked to death, most of the more than 10,000 people will die of starvation.
"How much food can be transferred to Jinling at this time?" Han Qian asked Feng Liao.
"It can transfer 40,000 to 50,000 yuan." Feng Liao said.
"Donghu, you take this money and things to do something, but don't tell anyone else about me - I'm helping you now because I hope you all survive. Do you know what I mean?" Han Qian stared at Han Donghu.
said.
It is also sad to say that Xuzhou can mobilize a batch of money and food, but there is no way to directly use it to provide relief to the old soldiers of the Guangde Army and their families who have had their fields and houses taken away. They can only use it secretly to help them in their uprising - otherwise
If so, 40,000 to 50,000 yuan would be enough to support more than 10,000 women, children, and children for more than a year.
"I understand." Han Donghu nodded. If he really wanted to clarify Han Qian's existence and funding to several leaders, he wouldn't have to worry about any news being leaked. However, the expectations of other leaders would fundamentally change, which might change the situation.
becomes more complex.
"If there is any emergency, you can send someone to contact me at Xiaomaofeng or Jingshan Nunnery - before I went to Yangzhou to see Wang Wenqian, I was not in Maoshan, but in Baohua Mountain," Han Qian said.
Seeing that Han Qian was not hiding his whereabouts from him, Han Donghu kowtowed excitedly before leaving with two of his henchmen who were also pretending to be porters...
