As time went by, Captain Bingzhou felt that things were not as trivial as the senior officials said.
Instead, he felt that things were getting more serious!
At first, everyone thought that the old officials of the Yuan family surrounded and kicked Yuan Tan violently, but it was because they were upset when they saw Yuan Shao's coffin being buried, and because Yuan Tan spoke badly, they acted impulsively.
had this result.
But as time went by, some people who didn't know the whole story began to realize that something was not quite right.
In front of Yuan Shao's tombstone, those old officials from Hebei were beating Yuan Tan so unscrupulously, but Zhao Yun, Gao Gan and others had no intention of helping or stopping them, and just watched calmly.
Yuan Tan's personal guards also disappeared, and no one came to help him.
Who can believe that someone has not used tricks in this?
Yuan Tan was beaten and kicked by the old officials from Hebei. He also had some martial arts skills. If he had resisted desperately, he would not have fallen into such a passive situation. But from the beginning, there were some problems in the middle.
The officials from Hebei who surrounded him seemed to have been well prepared. The toes of their boots had already been equipped with iron spikes, which were very hard. Not to mention kicking people, even kicking bricks could crack them.
Yuan Tan only received a few blows before he couldn't hold it any longer.
But now, his chest has suffered multiple fractures after suffering several deliberate attacks.
He desperately protected his head with both hands and shouted: "Come on! Come on! Come on! You! You are deliberately causing harm! Whose order are you following..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone saw someone using the tip of his iron shoe to kick Yuan Tan in the mouth, breaking his front teeth. Blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth, making him unable to speak.
Kicked back directly.
Bang, bang, bang!
The attacks one after another were like light raindrops, covering the vital parts of Yuan Tan's body!
At this moment, some generals in the Bingzhou army who were usually on good terms with Yuan Tan, and could even be said to have secretly taken refuge with Yuan Tan, couldn't help it anymore, and they were about to rush forward.
When Gao Gan saw this, he no longer looked so conciliatory. He narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"
"General, Mr. Yuan is in danger. If we don't save him, I'm afraid someone will die!"
The high official looked at the Bingzhou general who spoke coldly and said, "Do you, a Bingzhou person, deserve to interfere with the grudges of the Jizhou people?"
"But, if we don't save him..."
"Shut up! I'm telling you, you can save me if you want, just look over there!"
The general followed the senior official's gaze and saw Zhao Yun walking into the room at some point. However, he did not take action to rescue Yuan Tan. Instead, he held the sword on his waist and looked around, coldly.
Look at the people around you.
Although Zhao Yun did not speak, his expression and actions already showed his attitude.
What was going on was a private armed fight between an old official of the Yuan family and a traitor of the Yuan family. The rest of the people were outsiders, and those who knew better would not get involved...
, everyone is a good friend.
But if someone gets involved, I'm sorry, but we all have to argue with each other.
The captains who had just wanted to rescue Yuan Tan looked at each other in shock when they saw Zhao Yun's actions. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, Tian Feng seized the opportunity and kicked Yuan Tan's Tianling Cap hard with his iron toes!
This kick was so powerful that it knocked Yuan Tan unconscious, and the hand that was protecting his head was pulled down.
As soon as Yuan Tan's head was exposed, it meant that his life had completely ended today.
All attacks were directed towards his head and face!
After another stick of incense, Zhao Yun suddenly shouted loudly.
"Stop it! Look at how you look! What a shame! What are you doing?"
As soon as the dragon roared out, everyone retreated, exposing Yuan Tan. The old officials of the Yuan family lowered their heads in shame and remained silent.
It looked like they knew they were wrong.
What an obedient group of people!
Zhao Yun hurried to Yuan Tan's side and whispered: "Master Yuan, how are you?"
But this question is really false.
Yuan Tan's head has been kicked out of shape by a group of Yuan family's old officials, and his brain is about to burst out. How can he be okay?
"Medical officer, call the medical officer quickly!" Zhao Yun loudly ordered the guards behind him.
But at this time, what's the use if we don't find a medical officer?
…
In the fifth year of Jiankang, Yuan Tan, a meritorious official who had been appointed by the imperial court as the shepherd of Jizhou and led the Marquis of Wuping, was kicked by Yuan's ministers because he committed a public outrage in front of his father's grave. His brains burst and he died.
When the news came back to Yecheng, it was said that Prime Minister Tao Shang fainted and died on the spot. When he woke up, he cried loudly and called for my brother Yuan Tan.
Afterwards, although Yuan Tan was buried in glory, the officials of the Yuan family were not severely punished by the pottery merchants, but were only punished symbolically.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. The Yuan family's ministers had just surrendered. Tao Shang, who had always been known as a gentleman, couldn't kill them all, right?
People in the world can understand this.
At this point, Hebei was officially pacified.
The pottery merchants re-selected Hebei officials and placed them in various places.
He redistributed the Yuan family's soldiers, horses and generals, keeping the strong ones in the army, while the old and weak ones were sent back to the people, and rice seeds were allocated to the land for reclamation and production.
During his lifetime, Yuan Tan went on a killing spree in Jizhou and killed many powerful leaders in Yecheng, which left a vacuum in Yecheng's gentry power and required an overall re-division.
The pottery merchants also took advantage of this opportunity to redivide the land in Hebei, making most of the land state-owned and leasing it to the people, without letting the gentry get involved.
So invisibly, Yuan Tan has done a great thing.
After handling these matters, the pottery merchant immediately prepared to return to Xuzhou.
Before returning to Xuzhou, he went to see Zhen Mi and Yuan Wan.
"Miss Zhen, things in Hebei have been stabilized. The Yuan family has collapsed. Yuan Xi will also be taken back to Nanchang to live in peace. From now on, you will no longer be threatened when you live here. You can go home.
Reunited with loved ones."
When Zhen Mi heard this, there was a trace of struggle on her expression, as if something difficult was troubling her.
After being silent for a while, Fang Tingzhen Mi asked: "So, the little girl can't continue to be a hostage to the Prime Minister?"
Tao Shang laughed dumbly: "The Yuan family has been destroyed, why are you still a hostage? I sent someone to contact your brother and mother the day before yesterday, and they will soon send someone to pick you up from Zhongshan Kingdom."
Zhen Mi hesitated and said: "Actually, Prime Minister, there is no need to be so anxious. Even if the Zhen family in Zhongshan does not have me, there will be no trouble..."
The potter shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. The meaning of your brother's letter to me is that he wants you to go back and take charge of the family's business as soon as possible. In the past two years, without you here, your Zhen family's business seems to have been...
It has become a mess, and the current situation in Hebei has a great impact on merchants... It seems that the girl needs to sort it out when she returns home."
Zhen Mi secretly cursed her brother for being such a loser. He couldn't even take care of this little thing and ended up making trouble for herself.
The potter greeted Pei Qian, took two boxes of gifts, and said: "Here is the leaf play that I asked someone to re-create. The two girls have already mastered the essence of this game, so I will give it to the two girls. It can be regarded as a gift."
Let’s keep it as a souvenir.”
Yuan Wan, who had been silent all this time, asked curiously: "What are you doing for me? I'm not staying here."
The pottery merchant smiled and shook his head: "No, Miss Yuan, I have already decided that since you are a member of the Yuan family, you must stay in Hebei."
