The Wang family's residence was not ransacked. According to Mrs. Bai, several villagers were missing and they might have been caught and imprisoned somewhere.
Mrs. Bai, the fourth aunt and others were all well, and even the group of singers in the mansion didn't lose a hair.
After Wang Guang, his son, and Wang Mingshan ran away, there were only a few women and servants left in the Wang family's mansion. In the eyes of the enemy, they were obviously not high-value targets. The Sima family was facing a military threat, so they probably didn't care about them yet.
This mansion is a private residence, not an official residence, unlike the Lujiang County Mansion.
People came and went in the past two days, not only those who were looking for Qin Liang to enter the palace, but also some people who came to Wang's house to look for Qin Liang's generals and officials, so there were always people coming in and out of the not very spacious corner door.
It is actually not convenient for Qin Liang and others to live here.
Before noon, Qin Liang was meeting the last guest, Jiang Ji.
The two of them had been talking about insignificant topics for a while in the hall in the attic of the front hall.
Qin Liang was a little hungry, so he simply said directly: "During the war in Luoyang, apart from the mastermind of the Sima family, Sikong Gaogong was one of the first people to participate. He took the imperial edict to take control of Cao Shuang's mansion. If we want to talk about it,
Gao Wenhui (Gao Rou) has a closer relationship with the Sima family than Jiang Gong, Chen Gong (Chen Tai) and others. Now Gao Wenhui is doing well.
Later, in order to persuade Cao Shuang to come back, Jiang Gong, Chen Gong and others signed a letter and that was it."
Jiang Ji was a little surprised and said: "Is Gao Wenhui okay?"
Qin Liang said: "It shouldn't be a big problem. I will try my best to persuade others."
Jiang Ji was a little moved and said: "Compared to the Sima family, General Qin is really too tolerant."
Gao Rou was the one who was leaning toward Sima Yi at first, but Gao Rou went to Xuanyang Gate to greet King Qin’s army, that was his attitude. Gao Rou could just be used as an example to let everyone know what to do. People like Gao Rou didn’t move, and others
What else are you worried about?
These three-level people have contributed to Cao Wei to some extent, and killing them will indeed have a bad impact.
But more importantly, even if many families were killed at once, the serfs could not take back the lands occupied by the noble families, and most of them were annexed by new noble families.
What's the use? Working in vain for a while, your hands are stained with blood, but you are taking advantage of others. Who is willing to do this kind of thing?
Even if we have to deal with that group of people in the future, we must first make complete preparations to get the land and population back!
Qin Liang sighed and said: "The Sima family is the chief culprit of the rebellion and cannot be forgiven. However, the Sima family is prosperous and has many families. There are also those private soldiers who have done extremely evil things. Just killing these people will be enough."
There will be rivers of blood. If we expand the scope any further, all of us in the Wei Dynasty will be killed by our own people."
Jiang Ji said with emotion: "Today we know how benevolent General Qin is."
Qin Liang said: "The relationship between the important ministers in the court is inherently intricate and they have a wide range of contacts. It is enough to only punish those who have clearly committed crimes."
Jiang Ji hesitated to speak, pondered for a moment and finally said: "During the battle of King Qin, I wanted to excuse myself but could not. Due to human feelings, I wrote to Hu Wende (Hu Zhi) according to Sima Yi's wishes and persuaded him to send troops.
"
Qin Liang was stunned for a moment. But Jiang Ji had better say this kind of thing himself first, otherwise he would probably be able to find out when he interrogates Sima Yi and others.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Liang said: "Gong Jiang has now sent a letter to Hu Wende (Hu Zhi), asking him to persuade Shi Bao to return to Xuzhou. It stands to reason that Hu Wende, the commander of the Qingxu military forces, can give direct orders to Shi Bao's subordinates. Think about it
We can use this method to restrain Shi Bao."
Jiang Ji nodded and said, "I'll do it when I get back."
Qin Liang praised: "Chiang Gong has the country in mind. This is a good deed. Shi Bao's few men and horses are stubbornly resisting, but they only increase casualties and cannot change anything."
Jiang Jidao: "It's exactly what you said."
After hearing this, Qin Liang nodded with satisfaction. This is the best way to deal with it for the time being. The relationship between Hu Zhi and Jiang Ji is extraordinary. When Hu Zhi knows that Qin Liang has begun to cooperate with Jiang Ji, he will feel at ease.
These princes who were governors were all smart people. Once Hu Zhi started to listen to Qin Liang's suggestions and do things, they naturally became friendly.
Qin Liang glanced outside the door and said, "Mr. Jiang, please stay for dinner."
Jiang Ji waved his hand and said, "Next time, I'll take my leave first."
Qin Liang was not too polite and said with a smile: "There is no banquet for guests, only simple meals. It is really not easy to entertain guests."
He sent Jiang Ji out of the house, thanked the guest, and prepared to eat.
At this time, the custom was to share meals. The common dining table was a small wooden table like the one used at banquets. It was short and small and could not hold much. The maid brought Qin Liang's food.
Mr. Bai also walked in and asked diligently: "Zhongming, try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll make it again."
When she spoke, she seemed to be holding her throat and spoke very softly.
Qin Liang felt very strange inexplicably when he heard this. He really didn't feel comfortable with it for a while. People's attitudes suddenly changed so much that Qin Liang felt that Luoyang had become a stranger in the past two days, and all his previous acquaintances seemed like
It's like I don't recognize him anymore.
Mrs. Bai, in particular, seems to have transformed into several people in succession. From the leopard-print lady at the beginning to the happy, affectionate and fawning look on her face now, it feels very strange.
"Has aunt eaten?" Qin Liang asked.
Bai nodded, wiped her tears again, and said, "I have been waiting for you day and night, but Zhong Mingke is back. You don't know how I lived before."
Qin Liang looked up at her with a complicated mood.
Not to mention, although Bai is already middle-aged, she is actually quite good-looking, and her facial features are somewhat similar to Xuan Ji. After all, they are related by blood. If she had not been beautiful, she would not have been pregnant with the child of Wang Ling, a senior member of the Qingzhou governor at that time.
Although the child died in the end.
Qin Liang felt disgusted with her, mainly because she had previously wanted to marry Xuanji to the He family. This was a psychological conflict and had nothing to do with Bai's appearance.
A person that Qin Liang disliked very much. At this moment, he also noticed the beauty. It was because he had not been attracted to women for too long and he was indeed easily attracted to women.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. When Qin Liang looked up, Bai Shi also turned his head and took a look.
The visitor was her mother-in-law, Zhuge Shu. Seeing that Mrs. Bai was also in the house, Zhuge Shu ran away without even saying hello.
This mother-in-law's character is really not that of a wealthy family, and it is far different from her sister's generous character.
Bai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said in a deep voice: "The wallflower! She was not at Wang's house before and had been taken back by her father a long time ago. Her father only sent her back on the day Zhongming came back!"
Qin Liang glanced at Mr. Bai and thought: It's none of your business!
There is no conflict of interest between the Zhuge family and the Bai family, so the Bai family has to add insult to injury. This woman is both ignorant and mean.
However, Zhuge Shu did make a mistake. She should not have shown weakness in front of others, as she would have suffered more attacks.
Naturally, Bai didn't know what Qin Liang was thinking, so he continued: "Zhuge Dan knew that the Luoyang army was defeated, so he sent his daughter back in a hurry, which made people laugh! Wang Gongyuan hasn't divorced her yet, and we can't stop her.
We can only let her continue to live in the Wang family."
At this moment, Qin Liang suddenly realized that perhaps Bai's purpose of adding insult to injury was mainly to highlight her loyalty to the Wang family.
In fact, Bai's reason was because she had no place to go, and no one in the Wang family cared about her, except Xuan Ji.
