Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 383 Leading the Snake out of the Cave, Rakshasa Holy Son

At the beginning of July, Hou Wuji and Hou Wuji originally planned to sneak to Jianye Mansion to open up territory for the family and make contributions to the family. Unexpectedly, they were caught by their aunt Hou Yuling and sent to Hou Yuxiao.

Two majestic masters at the second stage of supernatural powers were secretly hugged and walked for more than 30 miles while sleeping, but they didn't realize it. Hou Yuxiao's reprimand, the two of them dared not refute a word, even with the two behind them The idea of ​​joining the Red Flame Army and going out with the army was rejected by Hou Yuxiao.

However, Hou Yuxiao did not completely kill the two of them's hope of joining the army. Instead, he gave the two of them a test and stated that if they could successfully pass the test, they would be allowed to join the Red Flame Army. In the future, the two of them would be able to fight normally in Hexi. participate.

This test is to solve the problem of the Four Miao Federation in Nanping Prefecture.

Speaking of which, it only took a little more than a year for the Wumiao people in Southern Xinjiang to be destroyed, renamed Nanping Prefecture, and included in the Hexi territory. In such a short period of time, we wanted the people of the former Wumiao people to forget the original concept of Southern Xinjiang and fully accept the concept of Hexi. Domination, of course, is impossible.

In fact, Hexi has already used many methods.

For example, the name of Southern Xinjiang is directly changed to Nanping Prefecture, the Black Miao City is designated as Nanping Prefecture, and the original green, white, red, and purple Miao cities are renamed as Zhaoling, Xiaqiu, Yukang, and Ziyang counties. I want to slowly erase them. Get rid of the geographical concept of southern Xinjiang in the minds of the Wumiao people.

Another example is to open up the navigation between Nanping and Zhaoyang, Xingnan and Jianye, so as to enhance communication between Nanping and the north;
In order to speed up development and win over people's hearts, many tax reduction and exemption policies were given to Nanping Prefecture, and many preferential policies were given to Nanping warriors based on the military registration system.

…………

Although every measure implemented by Hou Yuduan is effective, after all, the time is still too short. It is impossible to change the hearts of more than 2000 million people in more than a year.

Not to mention, it was Hexi who wiped out southern Xinjiang, and the people who killed the most soldiers in southern Xinjiang were also Hexi people. In a year and a half, let alone letting the people of the five Miao people fully accept the rule of Hexi, let them be grateful to Hexi, just want to eliminate The hatred for Hexi in their hearts is not enough.

Of course, most people and warriors yearn for a stable life. Although they know that Hexi has enmity with them, after all, their arms cannot twist their thighs. Hexi is now powerful, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in various towns in Nanping Prefecture. Pressure, who would find trouble to resist?

Furthermore, after the Hou family came to power in Nanping, they did a good job, and each of these measures has indeed improved their lives. After a good day, the resistance in people's hearts will naturally become much weaker.

On this basis, the vast majority of people still live their lives honestly. Only a small number of people are still clamoring for the restoration of the old system in southern Xinjiang. And this so-called Four Miao Federation belongs to these few people. represent.

Among the five original Miao tribes in southern Xinjiang, the Red Miao tribe, under the leadership of Hong Jue and his son, all joined the Hou family. Therefore, the four Miao tribes that were really destroyed were actually the four Miao tribes, blue, white, red and purple. The federation of these four Miao tribes was the top management of the original four Miao tribes. The disciples were formed by recruiting some warriors who were loyal to them.

The purpose of this organization is to drive the Hou family out of Nanping Prefecture, restore the old system of the Five Miao in Southern Xinjiang, and give the four Miao people their own Chili Prefecture in Southern Xinjiang.

I have to say that this purpose is still very effective for some Nanping people who miss the Five Miao period, especially for some warriors who hate Hexi because their relatives died in the battle of Southern Xinjiang last year. fatal attraction.

Therefore, the Four Miao Federation, which started with only 4000 to [-] people last year, has grown to over [-] people this year. Moreover, it was developed under the strong pressure of Yue Wenzhu, the lord of Nanping City. This is a bit exaggerated. .

Ever since the Four Miao Federation came out, the suppression in various cities in Nanping has never stopped. As long as you have the slightest relationship with this organization, you will be arrested and convicted by the Xuanting Division of each city, or you will be targeted by the Martial Artists of the Houmen. Once it reaches a large scale, it will even lead to encirclement and suppression by the Zhaoyang Army. No matter which of the three situations, it is a dead end.

In this way, it can be grown by the Four Miao Federation to tens of thousands of people. It is conceivable that this organization is still very good at deceiving people.

According to the information they received, more than half of these ten thousand people were warriors above the Gang Qi realm. The leader was Qing Wu, the younger brother of Qing Xuan, the former leader of the Southern Xinjiang Temple who died, and the dignified Xuan Xuan. Although the peak Yin Realm experts have not yet entered the eyes of Uncle Hou Yuxiao and others, they cannot be underestimated on such a large scale.

"Fucheng is the core of Nanping Mansion, and grandpa keeps a close eye on it. The Federation does not dare to reach out for the time being, and we have basically found no useful information in Fucheng.

Zhaoling, Yukang, and Ziyang counties, we only found a few clues. The Four Miao Federation had activities there before, but all of them were insignificant people. Now only Qiu County is left without investigation. If here If you still can't find any useful information, you can only ask your aunt for help. Since your aunt is in charge of the Hou family, she must have more information than us! "

Hou Wuji gently shook his folding fan and frowned slightly. Nanping Fucheng was previously in charge of his father Hou Yuduan. After Hexi marched into Jianye Prefecture, Hou Yuduan wanted to go out with the army, so he asked his grandfather Yue Wenzhu to serve as the lord of Fucheng. The Hou family is currently in charge. The local full-power organization is still the three-level city lord system of Qiancheng Division, with the mansion being the highest, the county next, and the county being the last. Currently, the highest-level city lord of Nanping Mansion is my grandfather. The jurisdiction of the entire Nanping Mansion naturally belongs to his grandfather.

"In my opinion, there is no need to investigate at all. The warriors in Xiaqiu County have no respect for our Hou family. In the final analysis, it is because the chief officials here have failed in their duties. They see the leopard through small things and are so negligent in managing the people's hearts. Then the other In terms of performance, it’s not much better, huh!”

Hou Wuqi thought that Hou Wuji was still angry because those warriors had arranged for his uncle Hou Yuxiao just now, so he shook his head and smiled slightly, but after thinking about his words carefully, his expression became condensed again.

"Brother, I'm not just saying this casually. I started to pay attention to the people here when I entered the city. Their speech, behavior, and dress clearly retain many Miao habits, and their degree of naturalization is not as good as that of people in other parts of Nanping Prefecture. Uncle Wu has been issuing strict orders since last year to all areas of Nanping Prefecture to ban all habits of the original Miao people. The rest of the places have done a good job, but the lower hills are so far behind. The chief officer here is either too incompetent or... has... ghost!"

Only then did Hou Wuqiu show a hint of approval in his eyes, and said softly: "I remember that the lord of Xiaqiu County City is Shen Guzhen, the original Jinling Shen family's children, after Shen Guyun, the patriarch of the Shen family, joined me in Hexi, there are also some Shen's children. After being reused, this Shen Guzhen's talent is not bad, he is nearly a hundred years old now, and he is a Heavenly Grand Master."

Hearing that Shen Guzhen was nearly a hundred years old and only had the cultivation level of a heaven-level grandmaster, Hou Wuji suddenly showed a touch of disdain on his face and said: "I think if we want to investigate Xiaqiu City, we must start with this Shen Guzhen. If he is just a simple If you don’t have the ability, then quickly ask Uncle Wu to replace him. If you really dare to be half-hearted and disloyal to me, Hexi, then..."

After speaking, he gestured slightly.

"Visit directly?" Hou Wuji asked softly.

Hou Wuji shook his head and said: "No need. According to the current scale of the Four Miao Federation, I estimate that we will be noticed by them when we appear in other counties and cities. Therefore, it is estimated that only Four Miao came to Xiaqiu." The Federation knows that if this Shen Guzhen has colluded with them, he must be thinking of ways to get us to leave now. If there is no collusion, it will be useless for us to visit him."

Hou Wuqi's eyes lit up, Hou Wuji was right, only a few people in Hexi knew about the two of them coming to Nanping Mansion, and only Grandpa Yue Wenzhu knew about the whole Nanping Mansion, who was interested and motivated to know about the two of them I am afraid that the only one who is missing is the Four Miao Federation.

"What you mean is to stand still and lure the snake out of its hole. Whether this Shen Guzhen is evil or not depends on his own behavior. We can just stay in Xiaqiu County for the past few days. If he takes the initiative to come, it will prove that there is something wrong. If If you don’t do anything, then it’ll be fine, is that what you mean, Wuji?”

Hou Wuji nodded, that's what he meant.

The two hit it off immediately and continued to stay in Xiaqiu County. Of course, they did not live in Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building, but chose another place.

After all, Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building is the property of the Hou family, and is managed by their senior brother Wan Xiaolou. Although the person in charge of the small place may not know them, if they are recognized after staying there for a long time, it will be a disaster. It fell short.

From the first day of September to the seventh day of September, for seven whole days, the two of them stayed in an inconspicuous little inn in the city. No one was looking for them. For a time, they thought that Xiaqiu City was really nothing like the Four Seedlings Federation. Relationship, I plan to leave.

Until night falls on the seventh day of September.

At the entrance of the small inn, a large group of people surrounded the entire inn. Shen Guzhen, the lord of Xiaqiu County City, led a group of people with frightened expressions on their faces and respectfully approached Hou Wuji and the two.

"I don't know that these two young masters are so respectful to me. They have humbled themselves in such a lowly position. They deserve death. I hope you will forgive me!"

Shen Guzhen's movements were extremely exaggerated, and he knelt down facing the two of them from a long distance away, and the crowd behind him also followed suit, all with inexplicable expressions of horror, I don't know if they were really afraid of Hou Wuji and the two of them The blame is that they pretended to be like this on purpose.

Hou Wuji and Hou Wuji had already discovered it when the inn was surrounded. Now seeing Shen Guzhen's behavior, their eyes met in the air in tacit understanding, and they nodded lightly at the same time.

If you take the initiative to come looking for him, then there must be something wrong with Shen Guzhen!
"City Master Shen, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly. Wuji and I were just hanging out in Hexi, so we came to Nanping Mansion to hang out. We happened to pass by Xiaqiu these days, and we thought we would only stay for a while before leaving. , City Master Shen is busy with his affairs, so the two of us didn’t come to disturb him.”

Shen Guzhen was still full of fear, and said: "No matter how busy I am, I dare not neglect the two young masters. This inn is too old. Why don't the two young masters walk with me to the City Lord's Mansion? We have prepared drinks for the two young masters, how about it?"

"This…………"

Hou Wuqi made a embarrassed expression, and said softly: "To tell you the truth, City Lord Shen, Wuji and I have already decided to go out of the city tonight and go back tonight, and we have greeted grandpa in advance. If we go back late, I am afraid I’m worried that I won’t be able to stay here any longer.”

When Shen Guzhen heard this, although there was a trace of extremely obscure joy in the depths of his pupils, he still pretended to have an expression of regret on his face and continued to persuade: "That's such a pity, but after thinking about it, it's okay after just one meal." , just treat it as a humiliation and disobedience to Lord Yue, and the two young masters will not be too late to leave after finishing this meal. If Lord Yue is really blamed, the two young masters can just pass the blame on me, how about it?"

"This………"

The two looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Shen Guzhen was overjoyed, and quickly greeted everyone, surrounded the two of them, and returned to the city lord's mansion together.

After all, Xiaqiu is also a county with a population of several million, and the specifications of the city lord's mansion are not bad. After all, he is a well-deserved prince-level figure in Hexi Road today. Shen Guzhen's arrangements are also very luxurious. They were all called, and when they knew Hou Wuji and Hou Wuju's identity, they would exchange cups with them, flattering them to the fullest, wishing they could show their faces more.

Hou Wuji and Hou Wuqie had a good sense of proportion. Although they were the second generation of the Hou family, they were not deeply involved in the world. Everything in the story was based on safety. Besides, when they came to Xiaqiu, they were pretentious. He didn't dare to be too careless, the banquet was over, and he didn't remember how many people there were, so he just focused on observing Shen Guzhen.

After the banquet was over, the two of them did not stay any longer. They declined Shen Guzhen's request to send someone to Nanping Fucheng. They left the city and rode directly to Fucheng in the north.

Of course, even though Shen Guzhen was rejected, he still sent the two of them out of the city in person. At the official road entrance in the north of Xiaqiu City, he watched the two of them ride away. When all the people around him were gone, Shen Guzhen still He continued to stand exactly where he was for more than an hour.

It wasn't until an exquisite figure in black clothes came from the north that Shen Guzhen was shocked. He looked at the man in black, raised his hands with a hint of respect and asked: "Meet the special envoy Qingluan, may I ask, Hou?" Are those two boys at home gone?"

"Well, they all left. They didn't find anything useful in the other three counties. They thought they were going to do anything serious when they got here, but they just stayed for a few days."

Although the Qingluan envoy was covered, his voice was as green and crisp as a lark. It could be heard that he was not very old. However, judging from the humble posture of Shen Guzhen, a heaven-level grand master, this girl was obviously nothing. Simple role.

"The Hou family has unified the four prefectures and half of the state, and has many elite troops under its command, and there are even more powerful men under its command. Now is the time when the sun is at its peak, so they will not take our little Four Seedlings Federation in their eyes, and send It is reasonable for two juniors who are no more than the second level of Grandmaster to come."

Shen Guzhen's tone was laced with self-deprecation, and at the same time, when he mentioned the Hou family's rise, it was also filled with deep resentment.

"It's better not to take us seriously, otherwise the restoration of our four seedlings will be far away. On the fifteenth of this month, the Holy Son will arrive. Remember to clean up the surrounding area by then, so that the Holy Son can see our four seedlings unite. As long as he nods and agrees to the meeting's strength, and with the support of the Rakshasa Holy Cult, it doesn't matter if the Hou family is at the top of the world, Southern Xinjiang is the place where our four Miao people belong, and it has never belonged to Hexi, hum!"

Hearing that the "Holy Son" was coming, Shen Guzhen looked excited.

"Subordinates must follow suit!"
