Qin Yue laughed: "I can't say that, at least compared to other prefectures and counties, you Jiangling City has the least number of people who died in the hands of anti-thieves, and it's not that there is no benefit at all, people have killed and injured the people under their rule, seeing that you are so unproductive, you will naturally feel resentful." ”

If the old lady of the Hu family follows his words, I am afraid that he will still have to go around to the matter of the thief's life in the first place.

Old lady Hu sighed: "If there is a chance, we would rather never meet the thief, when Zhang Xianzhong pointed to the middle of Hubei, our Jiangling City also resisted angrily, but there are too many people who can't eat enough, they heard the nonsense of those traitors, what to say that the king does not pay food when he comes, and all of them begin to cooperate with the outside and the outside, so that Jiangling and Xiangyang have fallen one after another, and the prince of Xiang also died in Xiangyang City, and there are many soldiers who defend the city in our families, but the people are not full of food, and they are confused for a while, and they can't be too harsh. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong demolished the walls of Jiangling City after entering the generals, which is enough to prove that we have resisted desperately. ”

Qin Yue laughed in his heart, this old lady Hu is also a shrewd person, he first explained that the people of Jiangling City have no objections, they just can't eat enough to do such a foolish thing, but he doesn't intend to bypass him like this.

"At the beginning, Zhang Xianzhong demolished the city wall, but it was just to make it easier to come and go, to prevent the army of the imperial court from defending the city again, you yourself just said, you have been scolded by others for half your life as a thief, and now you say that you have resisted desperately, is it a bit contradictory?"

Old Lady Hu sighed, knowing that the character in front of him was a little difficult to deal with, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "It was true that the ancestors did something wrong at the beginning, and now that the general wants to beat and punish us, we have all accepted it, and the ancestors have already passed away, so don't disturb them." ”

"Hmph, I originally planned to dig out their bones when I came this time, and ask them if they have been at ease all these years. I'm Daming Shenzhou Lu Shen, it's not because of some internal thieves fighting that I gave the Manchu Tartars a chance, if it weren't for your ancestors helping in secret, how could those thieves get the news of the official army? ”

Old lady Hu's face changed, but she still suppressed the anger in her heart, if it is according to the ideas of modern people, I will be soft to this extent, you still don't give up, is it really easy for me to handle?

But the people of this era have only one belief in their hearts, the prince of heaven and earth, they betrayed their monarch and joined the thief, and they lost their righteousness, so they lacked confidence from their hearts, and naturally they didn't dare to be too tough.

"Our ancestors did something wrong, and we Jiangling City also paid the due price, and now we are willing to donate our family property as military funds, just ask not to disturb the souls of our ancestors, and we are also willing to make an oath that Jiangling City will never do anything to be sorry for the Ming Dynasty."

Qin Yue saw that the heat was almost over, and snorted coldly: "Our Ming army is not a thief, what's the matter with asking for people's property at every turn, I invite you to the banquet today, just to tell you that as long as we are under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, you can live well, those thieves are all from poor people, won't they blush when they see your family property?" Your family is strong because of the Ming Dynasty, and weakened because of the betrayal of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as self-inflicted. ”

As soon as these words were said, everyone present was going to cry, it was indeed the case, when the Ming Dynasty was in the Ming Dynasty, as long as there was money to do business, there was no need to worry about anything, even the emperor wanted to increase the business tax, those adults could be blocked back, since they watched the fall of the Ming Dynasty, this bad day is coming, first by the anti-thieves, and then by the Manchu iron cavalry run over, and then want to open up the relationship between the court, there is no door, those Manchus are not willing to deal with the Han people at all, you throw yourself into the door to be a slave, People still have to think about whether they want you to be a minion. So their business is not doing well.

"What the general said is right, our families were blind at the beginning, and watched the Ming Dynasty die in the country, not to mention the family's silver being robbed, and even the business is becoming more and more difficult, but if we are given another chance, our families will definitely defend the Ming Dynasty to the death."

Qin Yue sneered, you moths of the imperial court, you rely on sucking the property of the people and greedy for the interests of the imperial court to fatten your own family, and there will never be such an opportunity in the future.

But now they still need to appease the people in the city and let Jiangling stabilize and resume production as soon as possible, so Qin Yue persuaded him with good words: "It's good that you know, if there is a next time, the butcher's knife of my Ming army will not only kill foreign thieves, but also internal traitors!" ”

After making sure that Da Ming would not do anything to them, the atmosphere of this banquet was restored, and the glasses were changed between the banquets, these people got some promises from Qin Yue, and Qin Yue also got the results he wanted, which can be said to be a joy for the guests and hosts.

After they left, Qin Yue wiped his face with a towel soaked in cold water: "Inform the emperor and ask him to send an upright official to come, these gentry in Jiangling City still want to continue to rule Jiangling City, I think they are daydreaming!" The whole world is not the king's land, they are really more and more bold as they live, and they dare to plot against the court. ”

On the other side, Mrs. Hu also washed her face with cold water when she returned home: "The three old men are all called." "He is now an old lady, and he didn't care about anything, but he only stood up again when such a big thing happened in Jiangling City.

Seeing his three sons approaching, Old Lady Hu coughed: "You five brothers, I left the three of you and let the two of them go, have the three of you ever blamed me?" ”

"My son doesn't dare, my father is wise, he will definitely be able to find a way to protect us, and our Hu family can't finish it."

"Hmph, don't use this word to generalize your father's army, I will tell you clearly now, these families in Gangneung are finished, you can tell me your opinion."

The average age of the three of them was also sixty, and they were all taken aback when they heard this: "Could it be that the conversation at today's banquet collapsed?" ”

Old lady Hu shook his head: "The conversation was very good, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves in the end." ”

"That'。。。。。。"

"Hmph, those fools, I told them at the beginning, no matter what the general of the Ming Dynasty said, let them donate half of the family property, so that they will not go too far even if they want to deal with us. But those people heard a few good words, and then floated to the sky, and they actually wanted to take care of this Jiangling Mansion for the imperial court, the stupid thing of the Sun family, and also proposed that someone from his family could be the county master. ”

"What do you mean?"

"According to the plan, donate all the family property in the city in exchange for a way for our family to live, and go back to the countryside, even if they don't deal with us now, someone will always remember what happened at the beginning."
