In Xian'an Mansion, it was miserable and panicked, and there was no sense of Chinese New Year at all.
Yes, the Koreans in Xian'an Prefecture also wanted to celebrate the Ming Dynasty New Year, but after thousands of lawless Jin troops were stationed in the city, the Korean people in the city had no intention of celebrating the New Year.
many.
The original government agencies of the Korean Royal Court have almost become a decoration. Almost all the rights to operate and maintain the city have been controlled by the Jin people. Except for some small officials who have to run around for life, all officials with some official positions
, it has become a common thing in this city to not go to the Yamen director due to illness.
Anyway, the Jin people don't care, as long as someone collects food for them and has fun for them, no matter which Korean they are, it's the same in their eyes.
As for the Jin soldiers and horses stationed there, there were not one but two groups. Their leaders each occupied a large house. They spent their days having fun in the house, drunkenly and dreaming, and did not care at all about the lives of the Korean people in the city.
.
The government treasury has been looted long ago, and the families of wealthy families have been extorted over and over again by these wolf-like golden men. Now, even ordinary people cannot escape the ransacking of the golden men.
From then on, what these people faced were the swords and guns of the Jin people.
Even when it was occupied by the Jin people, life in this city was not as difficult as it is now. But now, all the big families with some reputation have set their sights on the Shen family. In their opinion,
, it is impossible to expect the country's soldiers and horses to rescue them, and the only hope lies in Shen Juncen, the Shen family member who is very close to the Ming people.
It is said that the people of the Ming Dynasty valued Shen Yanjun Cen very much. If he had been among them, maybe the people of the Ming Dynasty would have sent troops to drive away these damn Jin people.
The current head of the Shen family is Shen Gongbao, who is Shen Juncen's cousin, but he is much older than Shen Juncen.
And the Shen family is also the place where the big and prominent families in Xian'an City come most often. Even if the government office is not functioning now, if something cannot be solved, going to the Shen family for help can solve the problem better than the government.
In the lobby, several people were talking, with worries on their brows.
"A few days ago, a retainer of the Sun family had a dispute with a Jin man and beat a Jin man to death. As a result, the twenty-odd members of the family of the retainer who took action were sent to the Jin man by the Sun family. Except for the woman, the man's head was
, he was hanged out the next day!”
An old man sighed and said: "If I couldn't leave, I wouldn't want to stay in this place for a whole day!"
"Who wants to stay in this hellish place? In the past, the Jin people still had some rules, but now they don't have any face. They are just sucking our blood. We can't resist, otherwise we will die!"
"Old Shen, if there is any news about your Juncen, wouldn't he think of a way to bring all the Shen family members to Tieshan?"
Shen Gongbao shook his head solemnly: "When the Jin came, he went to Seoul. He originally wanted to rely on his connections with the Ming people to further serve the royal court. When the Jin came, the news was cut off. Now I
I don’t know any news about him!”
"No way!" An old man looked at Shen Gongbao with some disbelief: "I heard that the Jin people gave the Shen family a pass on the salt road in Pyongyang. With this channel, Juncen can't get him.
Any news?"
"There is really no news!" Shen Gongbao said firmly: "Jin people also need to eat salt. Our salt road is broken, and the salt in the city cannot last for a few days. There is nothing the Shen family can do about this matter. Please
It’s just a way to survive, don’t scold me!”
Everyone chatted with each other regretfully, and then some people left one after another, and new people arrived.
Just when Shen Gongbao thought that today would end as usual, a servant with a pale face suddenly ran in outside the door.
"Master, the Jin people are here. They have come to our house. Many soldiers have come..."
Shen Gongbao's expression suddenly changed. Before he could tell his friends to avoid him, he saw a ferocious-looking officer rushing in with a group of soldiers.
In the lobby, everyone's face turned pale. If even the Shen family who brought salt to the Jin people were in trouble, let alone them.
"Who is the head of the Shen family! Come forward!"
The officer pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and his fierce eyes turned around on everyone's faces, and then fell on Shen Gongbao who came out.
"Is that you?"
"Yes, I am going to Shen Gongbao. I wonder what the general has ordered..."
"What a stupid name!" The officer glanced at him sideways, turned around and walked outside: "Follow me, our general wants to see you, hurry up!"
"Ah!" Shen Gongbao was stunned and hurriedly followed him: "I don't know which general wants to see me, so I'll prepare some gifts!"
"I told you to hurry up, hurry up, why are there so many troubles!" The officer turned back and glared at him angrily: "It's two generals who want to see you at the same time. Don't be scared to death. They are not looking for trouble for you. I want to see you."
You are troublesome, I will kill you as soon as you enter the door, why do you need to be so long-winded?"
"Okay, okay!" Shen Gongbao forced out a smile and walked out!
It wasn't until they disappeared outside the door that the remaining people in the lobby looked at each other in confusion. After a long time, someone slowly spoke.
"Is something going to happen?"
"What happened? I didn't hear the officer say, aren't you looking for trouble? I think the Jin people think they have gone too far and want a famous person to take charge of the situation in Xian'an!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Someone shook his head: "Even if we want to find someone to take charge of the situation, we should look for it among people like you and me. There are people in the Shen family who have close contacts with the Ming people. If the Jin people find the wrong person, they will not ask them to apply.
Home!"
Everyone fell silent, and after a long while, someone asked uncertainly: "Is it possible that the Jin people are looking for the Shen family because someone in their family has close contacts with the Ming people?"
The room became quiet again, and this time, no one dared to speak.
After a while, everyone dispersed, the master was taken away, and the Shen family was also in a state of chaos. No one paid attention to these guests.
Just a moment later, Yin Jin Dazhou, the former governor of Xian'an Prefecture, knew the news. Soon, with his spread of the news, everyone in Xian'an City who was qualified to know about it knew about it.
The night slowly fell, and on this night, in Xian'an City, I don't know how many people are paying attention to this matter. For these people who have been in the dark for a long time, perhaps, any light that appears
For them, there is hope.
And as long as people have hope, they can burst into power that even they themselves don't believe in.
This principle has never changed since ancient times!
