"Xie Dazai...Xie Yuan?" Lao Wang said tentatively.
"Of course." Xie Yuan nodded with a smile.
Lao Wang's expression changed and he did not dare to hesitate. He immediately asked the soldiers to detain Xie Yuan, and then went to report to Su Yuefan.
Su Yuefan: "???"
Xie Yuan?
Why is he here?
So I went to see it with Lao Wang.
then……
Su Yuefan: "???"
Jia Ming?
etc!
Jia Ming...pseudonym...
What the hell is this Xie Yuan?!
"Xie Yuan, you entered my Su Mansion under a false name to find out who my private soldiers were and what your intentions were?" Su Yuefan came back to his senses and stared at Xie Yuan angrily.
Xie Yuan looked at Su Yuefan: "Mr. Su family, do you know that someone went to Jiankang to file an imperial complaint against your family for robbing cattle and killing them wantonly?"
Su Yuefan was stunned for a moment, then showed disdain: "I thought it was what made Dazai Xie go to war. It was because of this matter. It's just a few cattle. I'll compensate them for the inconvenience."
"I'm afraid it's more than just compensation."
"Xie Yuan, what do you mean?"
"According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, those who slaughter farm cattle and eat a small amount of their meat will be punished by thirty floggings, and those who eat a large amount will be imprisoned for three years. Those who eat their meat and use the hides and bones to make weapons with a small amount will be punished by fifty floggings and be deprived of their property.
Assassins are sent to the border areas, and those who are in large numbers will be treated as treason and punished with fifty floggings, as are the three barbarian tribes."
Xie Yuan patted the dust on his sleeves and looked at Su Yuefan's face that changed slightly with a smile.
"Evaluate the crime of Mr. Su's family by yourself."
Su Yuefan was flustered by what he saw. After a moment, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "So what? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I am in Wuling County. Can the hands of his court still reach here?"
Then he looked at Lao Wang and said coldly: "Lock him up and ask where the person who came with him is hiding! Seal Wuling County, use Xie Yuan as bait, capture his accomplices, and execute them all!"
Because of the emergence of the imperial examination system, they could no longer receive the benefits of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng. Not only Su Yuefan, but also many children from aristocratic families who had not passed the imperial examination and entered the imperial court hated Xie Yuan.
In addition to this, what people hate even more is the land equalization order he decentralized.
As soon as the Land Equalization Order came out, all the tenant farmers ran away to start their own businesses.
Their huge fields were left unmanaged and they had to hire new people to plow the fields - and those people knew one thing very well.
Isn't it a fool to let go of the land given by the court for free and come here to work as a tenant farmer and be exploited?
In desperation, the family had no choice but to send out their private soldiers to plow the fields.
The private soldiers all came from military families and were not serious farmers.
So all the good fields were ruined by them.
There was no harvest, and there was no way to pass the imperial examination and become an official. Many people wished they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Now that Xie Yuan was in Su Yuefan's hands, Su Yuefan naturally wanted to kill him.
After all, the Su family was the leader of Wuling County and soon surrounded Wuling County.
The airtight kind.
Su Yuefan spread the word and said that a criminal thief had entered Wuling County and posted a portrait——
Not only did he search house to house, he also issued an order.
Anyone who discovers the person in the portrait and reports it to the Su family will receive a hundred taels of gold.
For a time, the entire Wuling County was restless and began to actively cooperate with the Su family to find the notorious thief.
Cui Xunzhi went out to buy some groceries. When he came back, he looked at Huo Qubing, his face a little pale.
"Young general, Su Yuefan gave an order to arrest you." Cui Xunzhi took out a portrait and handed it to Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing glanced at it with a calm expression.
"I know it's me they want to arrest."
Cui Hyun was stunned.
"This is a signal from my lord and I."
It turned out that Xie Yuan was asking for news from Lao Wang, and when he noticed something wrong in his eyes, he knew that he was suspicious.
He made an agreement with Huo Qubing that as long as the Su Mansion captured him and released Huo Qubing's portrait, he would have to wait until Cui Heng brought his people to Wuling before taking any action.
Su Yuefan looks stupid but is not stupid at all.
After he finds out Xie Yuan's identity, he will definitely use Xie Yuan to set up a trap to catch Huo Qubing.
As long as Huo Qubing calms down at this time, he can counterattack with Cui Heng's support and capture the Su family.
After listening to Huo Qubing's words, Cui Xunzhi felt relieved.
"Brother is coming to Wuling in one day, but the whole territory of Wuling is blocked. How can I get in?" Thinking of this, Cui Xunzhi frowned again.
"Brother Yuzhi has a clever plan, he can sneak into it." Huo Qubing grinned, "Hunzhi doesn't have to worry."
The next day, the two of them stayed at the inn.
Because he suspected that Xie Yuan's accomplices were near the Su Mansion, Su Yuefan investigated this area very strictly.
They once found the inn where Huo Qubing was hiding.
But Huo Qubing learned the art of disguise early on.
After changing his appearance, he was able to fool these people.
In the evening of that day, Cui Xuanzhi sat at the window and looked out frequently, but he still couldn't see that familiar face.
Why hasn't my brother come yet? I don't know how the master is doing now.
When she was worried, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Who?" Cui Xunzhi turned around warily.
"It's me." A familiar voice came from behind the door.
Huo Qubing smiled slightly.
coming.
Then he went over and opened the door.
A young man wearing a feather fan and silk scarf came in slowly, bowed to Huo Qubing, then looked at Cui Xunzhi with a smile: "Xunzhi, I'm here."
Cui Xunzhi threw herself into Cui Heng's arms and said in a low voice with red eyes: "I thought brother wasn't coming."
"If I don't come, who will save the lord?" Cui Heng stroked Cui Xunzhi's head, "They are all the head of the Cui family, so act more prudent."
Yes, Cui Xunzhi has taken over the Cui family and became the new head of the Cui family.
Cui Xunzhi nodded with red ears and asked softly: "How did brother avoid those people and come in?"
"They blocked the land routes, but they didn't block the water routes." Cui Heng blinked.
Cui Xunzhi was stunned for a moment and understood instantly.
It turned out that we came by boat.
"Brother Yu, how many people did you bring with you on this trip?" Huo Qubing asked as he remembered something.
"Not many. Three hundred people inside the city, maybe 150,000 outside the city."
Huo Qubing: "..."
That is.
One hundred and fifty thousand is not much.
"They hid in the wilderness and used the method taught by the Lord to make camouflage clothes. Those people couldn't find it for a while. Is the Lord still imprisoned in the Su Mansion?" Cui Heng asked.
"Should be imprisoned in the land of the Tibetan army."
"Do you know where that place is?"
"Of course I know."
Huo Qubing took out a piece of paper and quickly drew a simple map of Kantu.
Cui Heng looked at it for a moment and raised his eyebrows.
"This place..."
"What's wrong with this place?"
"It's only three miles away from our army."
Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud.
In this case...
If we don't do something, wouldn't we be sorry for Su Yuefan's hard work?
The two looked at each other for a moment and suddenly grinned.
