Chapter 327

Dingzhou City.

This city is the core of Dingzhou. Outside the city, there are deep Luoshui River, convenient river and land, crowded people, convenient transportation, and incomparable prosperity.

Even though several towns were in chaos, the flow of people was only a little less. The price of rice and cloth rose at most, and there was still a lot of singing and dancing in the city.

It's only in places that ordinary people can't see that the undercurrent is surging.

"Qi Lin surrendered, and Wuzhen's army was very prosperous... He didn't dare to hold on for a long time, so he just retired..."

In the prefecture, Xu Chun, the current state herdsman, was holding a hundred Li urgent document. As if he had been taken away, he collapsed.

For a long time, two lines of tears suddenly fell: "the intention to kill the thief, unable to return to heaven, pity, pain..."

It has to be said that Qilin was a famous vassal town in Dingzhou. This sudden surrender had a great impact on the whole Dingzhou.

Xu Chun can fully guess what kind of choice those aristocratic families who are still waiting to make after this time!

It's a bit of a shame, though!

As long as they don't touch the foundation of their rule, and don't shake the class interests of literati, bureaucrats and landlords, even if the barbarians invade, they can find the evidence of fate!

"Dingzhou is going to be in chaos..."

Xu Chun murmured, but there was no way.

The collapse of the mansion is the result of decades and hundreds of years of accumulated evils. Even if he intends to repair it, he is also powerless.

Compared with the prefecture, the reaction of the governor was smaller.

After all, Gao Shun is critically ill. Even if he dies in office, Xu Chun won't be surprised.

What he has a headache now is how to protect Zhang Wenzhen.

Although it left the imperial court with strength and the capital to confront the powerful Nanfeng army in the future, Zhang Wenzhen had a bad start this time! Even if it's cut, there's nothing to say.

But that's the only way to be a loyal minister! Not to mention that this loyal minister has been quite rare, it is the future Wuzhen kill, and by which leader to resist?

Xu Chun gave a bitter smile. Fortunately, the court was in a daze at this time. It would not be difficult for him to protect this general if he did something about the documents and joined forces with Gao Shun.

It's just... I can't imagine that he, the honest and upright state herdsman who is rumored by the outside world, has to do some favoritism and malpractice at this time. His purpose is to protect the meritorious officials of the imperial court. This is really ironic!

……

Soon, the news about the war spread.

In this respect, Xu Chun did not intend to hide it at all, and in fact, he could not hide it at all.

In a flash, Wu pheasant defeated Shi Tai, occupied Dingyuan County, and won Qi Lin's loyalty. The news that Wu pheasant fought back the interference of the state spread quickly, which made many people lose their voice.

Even though there are still die hard elements and corrupt scholars who are grieving and sighing that the world is declining and evil spirits are coming out of the south, more people choose to be silent.

After all, now Wu pheasant's advantage over Dingzhou is too obvious!

No, in a few months, they will be in Dingzhou. Even if they are not afraid, they have to think about their family and the things behind them.

As a result, the whole state was almost silent.

……

Outside Dingzhou, beside Luoshui.

Here thousands of hectares of fertile land, continuous fields, are the best paddy fields.

Among them, the most fertile half is the Xie family's property. There are thousands of tenants farming for his family alone. Xie family is one of the three hundred meritorious officials of the founding of the country. He has been honored for hundreds of years and is now a world-famous family.

But the xiejiazu house, built on the Bank of Luoshui, is always low-key. The stone lions at the door are mottled with traces of time. On the gilded plaque, it was given by an emperor himself. At this time, it was covered with yellow cloth and looked after by a specially assigned person.

Xie jianeng came out in large numbers. After several awards, under the archway in front of the gate, the civil servants got off the sedan chair, and the military officers got off the horse. Even if a state or a herdsman came, it was not enough to open the middle gate to meet them.

Compared with their family, those servants like cloud, go out to call after the big families, but became the first-class bumpkin.

It's getting hotter.

It's cold and chilly in late spring, and the air is still cool. This alternation of cold and hot is the most likely to cause epidemic.

However, in the Xie family, they specially invited the feng shui master to design a huge array of honor and nourishment, which absorbed the spirit of mountains and rivers. It was full of vitality, warm in winter and cool in summer, and there was no danger of epidemic.

Inside the main house, in an antique study, Xie Xingshan, the leader of the Xie family, slowly put down his intelligence and shook his head: "the imperial court..."

"Master!"

The door was gently pushed open and a man entered.

Although it seems quiet here, it's actually the core of the family guard. To get here, you have to go through at least seven checkpoints, and there are family surgeons to guard and supervise at any time to prevent accidents.

If this person can come in quietly, he is not only his own person, but also a powerful person.

"The matter has been found out. The one who secretly tracked ling'er and Baoyu before was the one who belonged to Sili Xiaowei and heard about Li Zongyi, a thousand families of Sili!"

"It's him!"

Xie Xingshan's eyebrows wrinkled, then spread again, and his eyes flashed: "the person in the imperial court whose head wind entered his head? Why do you work so hard? "

There was a blush on Xie Yi's face: "this is still unknown... But the imperial court has recently increased its control over the States. Is it my family's big tree that catches the wind?"

"Strange news department..."

Xie Xingshan said: "when I mention this, I think of some things in the capital... Recently, the imperial court has changed several important positions in a row, and one of them is the commander of the strange news department. The position of the prime minister seems to be unstable... I'm afraid that new changes are coming!"

Last time, Wu Ming dug a big pit in Shengjing and buried all the excellent soldiers and strong generals of Dazhou in one fell swoop. He even set up a prince Yong!

This naturally caused a wave of earthquakes, as well as the reshuffle of forces in the imperial court.

As a local powerful family, the Xie family is naturally related to this. Xie Xingshan guessed: "is it related to this? well! This Li Zongyi is also bold. He dares to attack my family. It's not because he is seriously ill. He must know that he is very serious! "

For such behemoths as the Xie family, it's really nothing to be a mere thousand households of strange news department.

"It's just a small matter. The owner doesn't have to care about it!"

Xie Yi said directly.

For them, the fate of the thousand families, and even the future of the two children of the clan, is really a small matter. What really matters is the future direction of Dingzhou, which is a matter of life and death!

"Yes! The real event is still here! "

Xie Xingshan handed over the information. Xie Yi glanced a few times, and then his pupils dilated slowly. He immediately said with a bitter smile, "I still can't believe it if I don't really see this! Qi Lin of Pingshan Town is very brave. How can he come down like this? "

"He has a chronic disease. He has lost the hope of dominating the world, but he has turned to Wuzhen. I think he really thinks highly of this girl, and thinks that the other party can at least unify Dingzhou!"

Xie Xingshan also wry smile: "women do not let men! Wuzhen is a shame for us old men

Qi Lin is famous in Dingzhou. His devotion to Wu pheasant is no less than winning another county!

Even the master of Xie's family unconsciously mentioned Wu pheasant with three points of respect.

"What is the owner going to do?"

Xie Yi asked.

With just a few words, he knew that the owner of the family had no intention to force against Wu pheasant, at least militarily.

"Listen to what you say and watch what you do!"

Xie Xingshan pondered for a long time, but sighed: "in addition, we have already sent people to establish a relationship with Wu Zhen last time? Now let some of the minority children go to be officials! "

In troubled times, this kind of big family adheres to the principle that eggs are never put in one basket, and at the same time, it is normal for several families to become officials.

The most famous is the Zhuge family in the period of the Three Kingdoms. They were divided into three leaders. Unfortunately, there was a problem in the selection of candidates. Later generations got their dragon in Yunshu, tiger in Wu and dog in Wei.

Now the Xie family, even though there are a large number of outstanding children working in the state capital, is also ready to do so.

Anyway, there are only some children from remote branches. If they don't succeed, it's nothing to give up.

"Yes, sir

Xie Yi bows to accept the order, knowing that the master still has scruples in his heart.

In fact, if Wu pheasant is a man, I'm afraid that the aristocratic families in Dingzhou have already heard of the wind and come down, competing to hold their thighs.

And even if it is the daughter, these victories are enough to cover up the disadvantages.

It's just that Xie Jiabi's size is too large, so it needs to be taken care of. I'm afraid the aristocratic families in the four counties under Wu Chih's rule have already begun to lick their knees.

"And... Send more envoys to strengthen contact!"

Xie xingshandao, this is to establish a face-to-face contact, it can be seen that he has also cast a bit of chips.

"I know!"

This is also what it should be. When Xie Yi agrees, he seems to think of something again, and is stunned.

"Why?"

This change, or hide, Xie Xingshan, directly asked.

"Nothing... Just thinking of the last time ling'er and Baoyu came back from the mission, she told me that the husband of Wu pheasant seemed to be a character, and his influence on Wu town might be beyond our expectation!"

"The husband of Wu pheasant?"

After pondering for a long time, Xie Xingshan finally remembered a name: "the Wu family? pretty good! If you don't have three skills, how can you control that kind of woman... Besides, it's not a burden. It's really incredible! "

He boasts that he is well-known and has a strong memory, but the Wu family has made such a weak impression on him.

Although a little funny, but think about it, it is a little cold sweat on the forehead.

The dragon can be big and small, hidden in mustard seeds, and can be seen in the sky. Who can really recognize it before thunder comes out?

After a pause, he said immediately: "it's true... I've been neglecting this aspect before, and ling'er has made a great contribution... Isn't she the messenger of last time? This time, she'll just be sent to do it again. Is she familiar or not?"

"Well, I'm going to go down and give it to the soldiers and supplies..."

Xie Yi agrees. He thinks that Xie ling'er's meaning has not been exhausted for several times, and his cheeks are red. Suddenly, his heart is cold: "is it..."
