"Madam, just send someone to go, why do you want to go in person? It's too dangerous. ”

Seeing the lady boarding the merchant ship, Wang Shimiao was a little worried.

"Husband, if you send someone to go, it will be difficult to gain the trust of that Cui Dashuai. And if you go to someone, it is easy to do bad things, this matter must be hidden, and the concubine can enter Qingzhou City under the cover of the caravan, and she will enter Qingzhou from Bochang County, and it will be fine. Li reassured.

Bochang is an inland port, and to Qingzhou, you either take the land route, or take the water route and then turn overland.

The road from Laizhou to Qingzhou is not safe now, so naturally it can only be transferred from Bochang.

"I'll escort you for my husband."

Wang Shimiao was still a little worried.

Don't look at the panic of the people of Denglai Erzhou now, and the same is true of the Laizhou Sailors, but with Wang Shimiao's control and prestige over the Laizhou Sailors, the people below can't mess up.

。。。。。。

"What's going on? How did this newcomer Cui Dashuai think of summoning us all, and this section of the marshal's mansion is heavily guarded, the old man always thinks it's not a good thing! ”

"Tian Lao said that this is the Hongmen Banquet?"

"I didn't say that!"

"Tian Lao, this is not right, how can you say half of the words."

As the time for the dinner approached, more and more people came to the banquet, but without exception, the heads of the families who received the invitations arrived.

The principals of several large families, including the Wang family, the Tian family, the Li family, the Kong family, the Meng family, and the Xiao family, have arrived. Not only limited to Qingzhou, but also some families in the surrounding counties took the initiative to come after getting the news.

The face of the festival envoy, these people still have to give. Otherwise, the three fires of this new official may burn on himself.

With the arrival of these people who went to the banquet, the protagonist Cui Anqian also appeared in front of everyone under the expectation of everyone.

When the wine was in full swing, one of the family heads couldn't help but ask, "Cui Shuai, the villain has a word." I don't know what happened to Cui Shuai calling us to the banquet today? Cui Shuai might as well say it directly! ”

All the heads of the family pricked up their ears, and this was the purpose of today's visit.

Cui Anqian coughed, then looked at everyone and said, "There are two purposes for calling you, the heads of Qingzhou City's big and small families, here for a banquet today.

First, the previous rebel king Jingwu and Wang Shifan father and son controlled Qingzhou and did not listen to the orders of the imperial court. Now that Qingzhou has returned to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, I also want to call everyone here to hope that the patriarchs will support Cui more in the future, and hope that during Cui's tenure, they can spend happily with everyone.

Second, there is one thing that troubles everyone. When the rebel king teacher fled, he swept away most of the money and grain in the treasury. ”

Speaking of which, these family heads will understand that this is a banquet, this is to be a good wealth boy.

In fact, before coming to the banquet, some people guessed the point, but they still came, and if they could spend money to avoid disasters, it was not unacceptable.

"I didn't expect this traitor to be so hateful, in order to let the imperial army keep Qingzhou peaceful, my Wang clan is willing to take out a thousand guan...

At the beginning, everyone was still a little angry with the patriarch of the Wang family, but when they heard it, they knew that the Wang family was deliberately disgusting with this Cui Dashuai.

Who doesn't know that this Wang family is the largest family in Qingzhou, in addition to the previous Wang Jingwu and Wang Shifan father and son, with dozens of stores under its command, distributed in Ziqing Prefecture. And there is also a fleet of ships that specialize in buying and selling some contraband, but this is very common in Ziqing.

Moreover, Wang Jingwu's father and son also came out of the Wang family, but they didn't expect that the Wang family would not give face to the new festival marshal.

"Ahem, our Tian clan will give three thousand guan!"

"We, Xiao Clan, give five thousand!"

"Kong's five hundred runs!"

This one is even more ruthless!

"Meng's three thousand runs!"

"Li's five thousand!"

"Xie's three thousand!"

Not to mention, although the Wang family and the Kong family gave some disgusting people, the total number added up to a lot, fifty or sixty thousand.

The least is given to three hundred guan, it is a small family, and it is understandable that it is not too much, and Cui Anqian did not expect to raise much on these small families, mainly those big families.

From Liu Jun's mouth, I learned that these big families are very rich, the least of them have tens of thousands of yuan of family wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land, and the most family wealth is hundreds of thousands of yuan and 10,000 acres of fertile land.

Moreover, these families are engaged in maritime trade and have a lot of money.

However, there were not many people who were given, and the most were given by the Xiao family and the Li family each for five thousand guan.

At the banquet, Cui Anqian did not have a seizure, but when the banquet was over, Cui Anqian's face was ugly.

"It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! ”

"Jie Shuai, leave this matter to the last general, and take the Wang family and the Kong family." Li Wenzhong said coldly.

Looking at the families that Li Wenzhong hooked up, in addition to the Wang family and the Kong family, there is also a Li family.

Of course, this is not the Li family who donated the most, but another Li family in Qingzhou City.

In Qingzhou, the Li, Wang, and Duan families are all large families, some of whom have lived here for hundreds of years, and some have moved in in recent decades; Some may be of the same clan and different houses, and some are just of the same surname, not the same clan.

Just like the Wang family and the Li family, there are several large families in the city.

"Jieshuai, this Wang family is the largest family in the city." Liu Yan said worriedly.

"General Liu, isn't this the best chicken to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys?" Li Wenzhong sneered.

"Take out this Kong's family!" Cui Anqian hesitated for a moment and said.

Although this is Qingzhou, not Yanzhou, but it is so close, and the surname is Kong, it would be strange to say that it has nothing to do with the Kong family in Qufu, Yanzhou.

Confucius, the ancestor of the Confucian family in Qufu, has a high status among these scholars, and Cui Anqian himself is a scholar from Jinshi. Although this is the Qingzhou Kong clan in front of him, not the Qufu Kong clan, Cui Anqian did not dare to touch this thunder.

At that time, it will not be those imperial histories who want to impeach him, it is estimated that more than half of the scholars in the court will impeach him, and at that time, I am afraid that the saints will not dare to protect him at the cost of provoking the anger of the public.

"Jie Shuai, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? I am afraid that this will further fuel the arrogance of the Kong family. This Wang family also promised to give 1,000 guan, but this Kong family gave 500 guan, doesn't this not put you in the eyes of Jieshuai? Li Wenzhong persuaded.

It is estimated that the other party really didn't take himself seriously.

Although the descendants of Confucius, most of the descendants are mediocre and inactive, if it were not for the relationship of Confucius, how could they have their current special status. In recent decades, there have been three brothers of Kong Wei, plus Kong Chongbi, the son of Kong Wei, a four-jinshi, and the rest, there is really nothing to praise.

That is to say, but all dynasties have respected Confucianism, which has developed the bad problem of the Confucian family's eyes being above the top.

Seeing that Li Wenzhong was so ignorant, Cui Anqian was also a little unhappy.

"Ben Shuai said, take the Kong family out and leave it alone!"

Several people present heard the chill in these words, but they didn't expect this Kong family to make Cui Anqian so jealous.

This means that Cui Anqian is a scholar, so he wants to change it to someone like Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan? No matter if you are the king of heaven and Lao Tzu, they dare to kill, but as for the Kong family, they won't care!
