Chapter 559 0556 [You may win, but I will never lose]

There is a secret connection with Fang La. If all the aristocratic families present here really want to investigate carefully, none of them will be able to escape.

After all, Fang La has been rooted in southern Zhejiang for more than ten years and has many followers.

The cult's brainwashing ability is already strong, and Fang Qifo also has the Pill of Bliss. It seems that family members like them are the key targets of Fang Qifo. Who can guarantee that all the children in the family are innocent?

But this kind of thing can be big or small.

On a normal day, it wouldn't be a big deal. Just throw the clan members who colluded with Manichaeism into the government, spend some money to smoothen the relationship, and the matter would be over.

But it's different now. Being related to His Majesty's assassination would be a serious crime that would implicate the nine clans.

People like Yu Xiangwu are all among the nine tribes.

The most important thing is that they are also suspected, which is equivalent to a certainty and a certainty.

Yu Xiangwu fell to his knees with a thump and shouted: "Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister, I know my mistake. My Yu family is willing to donate all the fields in the family."

At this moment, he finally woke up.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

Xie Ding waved his hand: "Take it away!"

Wow!

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of armor leaves rubbing together, and a group of Xuanjia troops rushed into the inn and pulled Yu Xiangwu and four others down.

Yu Xiangwu still wanted to struggle, but the next moment, a heavy punch hit his stomach like a hammer.

The severe pain made him shrink into a prawn, and he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.

Seeing the four surnames in Kuaiji being captured by the Xuanjia Army, the remaining heads of the aristocratic families in the hall looked frightened and trembling.

Xie Ding's eyes swept over everyone and said loudly: "The Manichaeism is a cult specially appointed by the imperial court, and the remnants of Fang La are heinous rebels. Don't make the mistake of yourselves."

"What Xiang Xiang said is that when I return, I will immediately investigate the clan members thoroughly."

"Yes, yes, please thank you and be considerate."

"Thank you so much for your noble hand."

Everyone hurriedly agreed, fearing that if they spoke too slowly, they would be labeled as comrades.

Xie Ding said meaningfully: "You are all wise men and women who understand the rules. I can rest assured."

"I'll wait to understand."

These people could not hear the underlying meaning of his words and responded one after another.

What does it mean to be sensible and understand the rules?

This is to ask them to sell their fields quickly after they return.

Sell ​​the land to keep yourself safe.

Otherwise, who knows if the remnants of Fang La will be hiding in their home next time?

Mr. Qian was still smart and donated his family's property early. Not only did he protect the Qian family from being punished, but he also sold his favor in front of the officials.

As the saying goes, people become better with age and things become strange with age. This is absolutely true.

In fact, it's not that all of them didn't expect it. Of course there are smart people, but after thinking about it, no one has the courage to donate all the fields like Qian Xianli without saying a word.

That's 280,000 acres of land, a family fortune accumulated by eight or nine generations of the Qian family. They donated it whenever they wanted, and when the situation was unclear, they asked themselves, they couldn't do it.

"I have wronged you all these days. Now that the culprit has been arrested, you can go back."

After Xie Ding said that, he turned and left.

As Xie Ding left, the naval forces that had surrounded Fuyun Inn for three days and nights also withdrew.

Everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and looked around, seeing a look of joy in each other's eyes.

Now it seems that the officials are just planning to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and are not planning to catch them all.

As for the four surnames in Kuaiji, if they die, they will die. What does it have to do with them?
"Everyone takes your leave."

The head of the Gu family cupped his hands and immediately ordered the servants to pack their luggage.

Although it was already evening, the city of Hangzhou had become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den in his eyes, and he couldn't stay any longer.

"Farewell!"

The rest of the people did the same. After saying goodbye to each other, they hurried out of the city one by one.

……

When Xie Ding led his men to arrest Yu Xiangwu and others, he had already notified Wang Yan, who was stationed in Kuaiji, to coordinate with the local government to arrest members of the four families.

Cut off the roots!

At the same time, Han Zhen met Wang Yuan and Yang Yizhong in the palace.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Looking at the two people who were bowing in greeting, Han Zhen said with a smile, "General Wang, you are well."

"We haven't seen you for two years. Your Majesty is even more charming than before."

Wang Yuan stood up slowly and praised.

At this moment, he felt complicated.

Thinking back two years ago, His Majesty was just a rebel who occupied Qingzhou. He never thought that in just two years, he would sweep the world.

They attacked the Jin people in the north and Zhao and Song Dynasties in the south, showing the image of a heroic lord who swallowed up mountains and rivers.

When he was captured in Licheng, His Majesty once recruited him, but he refused.

After going round and round, I finally became His Majesty's minister, and my life experiences were truly magical.

Han Zhen said with a smile: "I admire Wang Qing very much. It was a pity that I failed to recruit him to surrender. I never thought that I would get what I wanted in the end."

"Thank you for your majesty's kindness. I am deeply grateful."

Han Zhen's few words made Wang Yuan's heart surge, and a sense of gratitude arose spontaneously.

People always crave recognition.

Han Zhen turned his attention to Yang Yizhong again and carefully looked at the flag bearers of this generation of Yang family generals.

Feeling His Majesty's gaze, Yang Yizhong straightened his back and stretched his body into a spear.

Yang Yizhong is tall, powerful, and handsome in appearance. Just standing there can make people praise him: a good man.

Han Zhen didn't know much about Yang Yizhong. Searching the memories of later generations, he only remembered the Battle of Lotus Pond.

In that battle, Liu Qi, Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong beat Liu Yu so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms.

In addition, Yang Yizhong is Zhao Gou's only trusted confidant in the military, even more so than Yue Fei. He has been in charge of the Forbidden Army for thirty years and is one of the Seven Kings. As a close confidant of Zhao Gou, he was able to occupy a high position in the cracks of the Southern Group and died well.

From this, it seems that this person has a high political sense.

Han Zhen praised: "As expected of Yang Wudi's descendants, he has the style of being an ancestor."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

Yang Yizhong said modestly.

Han Zhen said: "The Yang family is full of loyal people, and I admire them very much. Before the Southern Hunting, I visited my house. Your grandfather was old and bedridden. Your father had been guarding the border for several years, and his health was not as good as before. He was very sick. I miss you."

Seeing His Majesty mention his grandfather and father, Yang Yizhong's eyes turned slightly red and he said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

After chatting for a while, Han Zhen asked, "You two should know about the Fujian incident?"

"Wei Chen has heard a little bit about it."

Wang Yuan nodded.

Fang Qifu, the remnant of Fang La, occupied Fujian. Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi led their subordinate generals to surrender and attacked Wu Lin's army at night.

When they learned about it, they were confused and found it incredible.

Fang Qifu was a rebel, and the two sides still had old grudges. They couldn't figure out why Zhang Jun and others wanted to surrender to Fang Qifu.

Makes no sense.

Han Zhen asked again: "How is your relationship with Zhang Jun?"

Wang Yuan replied succinctly: "It's unusual."

"Zhang Jun is a good man when leading troops in battles, but he has an unruly personality and acts arrogantly and domineeringly. He has no restraint on his subordinates and often robs the people. For this reason, minor officials have had several disputes with him."

Compared with Wang Yuan's answer, Yang Yizhong is much better.

Not only did he clear up his relationship with Zhang Jun, but he also took advantage of the situation to point out that he was rigorous in running the army and had the people at heart.

"Ah."

Han Zhen nodded.

He just asked casually, if Wang Yuan and Zhang Jun were on good terms, they might write a letter to persuade him to surrender.

It doesn't matter if the relationship is not good, he has other methods.

Zhang Jun and others surrendered to Fang Qifu because they were controlled by opium.

Opium is actually very simple to extract, as long as a serious person has the skills to do it.

At that time, let the Secret Intelligence Department secretly contact Zhang Jun and secretly instigate rebellion.

When Han Zhen could also provide opium, Zhang Jun, who was not a fool, knew how to make a choice.

Of course, Fujian can be conquered, but at a certain price.

There are more cost-effective methods, and Han Zhen has no reason not to use them.

War is only a means of politics, not the result.

The battles that should be fought should not be fought less once, and the battles that should not be fought should not be fought foolishly.

For example, in the north, whether it is Xixia or Liao and Jin, they are all barbarians.

The barbarians have always feared power but not virtue. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right, so the north must fight, and fight hard, until the barbarians are completely defeated.

How did Li Erfengtian Khan get the title?

Typed.

After chatting with the two for a few more words, Han Zhen said: "It's a good time to rest. When I finish my hunting in the south, come back to Beijing with me. Then we will make more arrangements."

"Wei Chen takes orders."

The two of them bowed in response and turned to leave.

As soon as the two of them left, Xie Ding walked into the hall with his hind legs.

After seeing the ceremony, he reported: "Your Majesty, the heads of the four families in Kuaiji have been imprisoned. General Wang Yan is arresting the clan members in Kuaiji, and they will be taken to Hangzhou in five days at the latest."

Han Zhen asked: "Where are the other aristocratic families?"

Xie Ding chuckled and said: "These are smart people who know what to do. Even if some people can guess it, they will just pretend not to know and protect themselves wisely."

"After the big stick, it's time to give Tianzao, otherwise they will not feel at ease."

Han Zhen smiled slightly and ordered: "Inform the Qian family that I will visit the day after tomorrow."

With both kindness and power, one cannot just have a big stick but not give sweet dates, otherwise, in the long run, one will inevitably harbor resentment.

Xie Ding responded: "I understand."

……

The ancestral home of the Qian family.

As a local leader of Hangzhou Prefecture, no matter big or small can escape the eyes and ears of the Qian family.

The news that Yu Xiangwu and others were arrested and imprisoned reached Qian Xianli's ears only two hours later.

Qian Xianli asked: "Xie Xiang only took the four surnames of Kuaiji?"

"Yes."

Qian Yuanqi nodded and replied: "The other family heads have left the city and returned home."

Hearing this, Qian Xianli breathed a sigh of relief.

The officials still have a sense of proportion. They are just killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and they have not completely wielded the butcher's knife.

Thinking of this, Qian Xianli said: "Tell the people in the clan to prepare. Your Majesty's chariot will visit my Qian family soon."

"Your Majesty is coming?"

Qian Yuanqi was stunned.

Qian Xianli shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think that the 280,000 acres of land donated by me was for nothing? Whether it is reciprocating the favor or showing it to others, Your Majesty will never treat my Qian family badly."

This is his Qian family's way of life.

As long as you surrender quickly enough and sincerely enough, you will never lose.

This was the case when Qian Chu surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and it is the same now when he donates his money to the Song Dynasty.

You may win, but my Qian family will never lose!
