Volume 1 Rain in the East China Sea Chapter 25 [Planning]
Xiao Jing acted viciously, doing such evil things, even if Han Mo was tolerant, he couldn't hold it back, and felt that it was time to make a move. The children of the Han family naturally can't be bullied like this, and they have to be turtles with shrunken heads.
But he also understood in his heart that if he wanted to kill Xiao Jing, he didn't mean that he had to do it, Xiao Jing and Huang Bantou were very different.
Although Huang Banzan is Xiao Muzan's cronies, but after all, he is just a dog, even if Xiao Muzan believes that Huang Bantou's death is related to the Han family deep down, then he can only resentful in his heart and do something in secret, but Xiao Jing is his only son, once killed, Xiao Muzan will definitely jump over the wall desperately to launch a blow to the Han family, after all, he is the county guard of the East China Sea, even if his own strength is not enough to launch a devastating blow to the Han family, but he can force the Han family to react through a series of official measures, once the Han family reacts, It is also equivalent to confronting the government, and Taishi Xiao, who has always wanted to master the handle of the Han family in Yanjing, will definitely jump out and deal a heavy blow to the Han family politically.
Although the Han family is the first family in Donghai County, compared with the Xiao family, its strength is still much worse, if the Xiao family grabs the handle and strikes at the Han family, the Han family will definitely be greatly injured.
Therefore, Han Mo immediately opposed Han Yuan's strategy of taking immediate action to assassinate Xiao Jing, and explained to him the stakes, after all, the foundation of the Han family cannot be shaken because of such a thing, the Han family has endured for many years, in order to slowly strengthen itself in silence, and the back mountain to watch the battle of the major families of the Yan Kingdom, if it is because of Xiang Yu'er's death to trigger the gunpowder introduction, the Han family clan will not approve of it first.
"We can't kill him in Donghai City, or even in Donghai County." Han Mo said calmly: "If you can, Xiao Jing died a few years ago. ”
The "Black Panther" led by Han Qing had enough ability to kill Xiao Jing a hundred times in Donghai City.
Han Yuan clenched his fists, and his face distorted by anger even looked a little deformed: "Then should we just stop like this?" Xiao Wu, I'm not afraid of anything, I must kill Xiao Jing and avenge Xiang Yu'er. ”
"It's best not to let Grandpa and the rest of the clan know about this idea of yours." Han Mo said solemnly: "Good people don't live long, disasters will last for thousands of years, fourth brother, in this world, it's not that damned people will die, for many reasons, many damned people will live well." ”
"But Xiao Jing must die, this is doomed." Han Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "I swear by my life, if I don't kill him this time, I am not worthy of being a descendant of the Han family, and I should jump into the Great East China Sea to feed the fish." ”
Han Mo stared at his fourth brother, who was quite cowardly in the past, and suddenly showed a faint smile: "Fourth brother, you look murderous. ”
Han Yuan smiled bitterly, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Little Wu, do you know that Xiang Yu'er is my first woman and the first woman I fell in love with. For a while, in this humble room, I realized what it means to be gentle like water, and how warm it is for a woman to care about herself, but all this has been ruined. Xiang Yu'er is a good girl, but she was humiliated and killed by Xiao Jing's brute, you don't understand how much pain I feel in my heart. His fists were very tight, his muscles were exposed, his nails were deep in his flesh, spilling blood, but he didn't feel the slightest pain: "I know, Xiao Jing must have sent someone to follow me, and then I know that Xiang Yu'er's hiding place was that I killed her, so I have to give her an explanation!" He looked at Han Mo with a hint of anticipation, and said softly: "Little Wu, you have always been smarter than the fourth brother, you must help me this time, as long as you kill Xiao Jing, you can let me do anything." ”
"You and I are brothers, and your enmity is my enmity, it goes without saying." Han Mo held his chin and said, "Fourth brother, suppress your grief and pain these days, don't let these emotions appear on your face, and remember that the matter of killing Xiao Jing can't be penetrated at all." ”
Han Yuan was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "But I want to kill him now." ”
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Han Mo said lightly: "As long as Xiao Jing is in Donghai County, we can't do it." Once Xiao Jing dies in Donghai County, even if it has nothing to do with our Han family, the Xiao family will pull Xiao Jing's death on our Han family. ”
"Shall we not stop?"
"Stop?" Han Mo sneered: "I said that this time we are going to kill people, and we will not stop." But it will have to wait for Xiao Jing to get out of the realm of Donghai County. ”
Han Yuan frowned and said, "He left Donghai County?" When? Xiao Wu, in the past few years that the father and son of the Black Yama King have been in Donghai County, they have not left Donghai County many times, and they have left secretly several times, do we have to send people to keep an eye on them secretly and wait for them to leave the country? Then what year and month will it take, if Xiao Jing doesn't leave the country, won't we do it? ”
Han Mo Zhengse said: "Fourth brother, what you said is right, before Xiao Jing left, for the sake of the Han family, we must not do it." Seeing that Han Yuan's face was a little pale, he smiled faintly and said softly: "But don't worry, in my opinion, in the next few days, Xiao Jing will be leaving Donghai County." ”
"Really?" Han Yuan's eyes lit up, and the murderous intent suddenly appeared.
Han Mo said leisurely: "Huang Bantou is dead, and there is no one to transport the tax silver to Yanjing, I am thinking now, who will Xiao Muzan's old dog send to transport the tax silver?" Besides Huang Bantou, who else does he trust? ”
……
The night is dark, on the edge of the coconut grove, a pile of yellow sand buries a lost life, and also buries Han Yuan's first relationship, accompanying Han Yuan to stand quietly by the grave, Han Mo looked at the simple pile of yellow sand, that is Xiang Yuer's final destination.
A poor woman.
The fishy sea breeze blowing from the East China Sea drifted softly, and in the night, several fast horses slowly left the coconut grove and disappeared into the dark night.
……
……
Yan Guo always likes to add a sentence in the proclamation, "The world is peaceful, the country is peaceful", this kind of decent words always make people feel the irony hidden in it, the nine great families are deceitful, there can be no peace, and there can be no national peace and security if the taxes are heavy.
But it is very strange that the deformed political system of Yan State has made Yan State very smooth in terms of taxation----- except for the Ye and Wu families, who control Bozhou County, other places are under the control of the family, and they are usually able to pay taxes in full.
Obviously, although the family is fighting, but after all, they have to protect their own strength, in this year, except for Ye Wu, the two wealthy families, the other families are not willing to become a thorn in the side of the imperial court because of the delay in tax silver, after all, any family has made a mistake, and the imperial court is fully capable of summoning several other schadenfreude families to give it a devastating blow.
The tax revenue of Yanguo is divided into spring and autumn, and each county will pay tax silver to Yanjing in both quarters, under normal circumstances, the county government far away from Yanjing will escort a lot more troops, and there are local counties along the way to escort a ride, and Donghai County and Yanjing are adjacent to Huiji County, although the area of the two counties is huge, Donghai City and Yanjing City also have five or six hundred miles away, but the security of Donghai County has always been good, so the silver protection team of Donghai County has never been too large, It was escorted by one hundred and fifty city defenders and dozens of fucha plus a dozen martial artists.
There are six counties in Yan Kingdom, and each county has a city garrison, and as for the number, it depends on the location. The county government near the border of Yan Kingdom, in addition to the border guards, the number of city defense troops will also be maintained at one or two hundred thousand, and Donghai County is adjacent to the East China Sea and far away from the border, so the number of city defenders is usually only three or four thousand, but it is just to deal with sudden civil uprisings and some regional bandits. As for the pirates of the East China Sea, there were tens of thousands of people in the East China Sea to deal with them, and the city defenders were not qualified.
Although the highest honorary commander of the city defenders is the county guards, the real control is in the hands of the commanders of the city defenders, and the appointment of the commanders and the military attaches of the city defenders, under the coordination of the major families of the Yan Kingdom, has determined that it is not allowed to be held by the children of the families since many years ago, but from the annual assessment of the martial champions.
Of course, this is a superficial article, because any Wu Zhuangyuan will be co-opted by the family in a very short period of time, and Wu Zhuangyuan himself also understands that in this country, without the support of the family, there is absolutely no future at all, and he will immediately join the family that can bring benefits to him.
In addition to Bozhou County, which has been completely controlled by the Ye and Wu families, the other five counties of Yan State, there are actually three counties whose city defenders are commanded by Xiao Jiamen, which shows the power of the Xiao family.
However, the commander of Donghai County is a close confidant of King Yan, and he has not joined any family, after all, King Yan also has the means to attract talents.
So from a certain point of view, the commanders of the Donghai County Guard and the City Defender are not the same faction.
The tax silver collected by the Han family was loaded with more than a dozen carriages, which were counted by Han Xuanchang and the tax collectors of the government office, and reported to the county guard's office, and then gathered together with the silver carts of the government office, and after a few days, it was to be transported to Yanjing.
Although the relationship between the Han family and Xiao Muzan has been very stiff, the two sides still dare not slack off in terms of taxes and silver, at least in dealing with taxes and silver, Han Xuanchang saw a smile that has always been difficult to see on Xiao Muzan's face, and Xiao Muzan also saw a rare seriousness on Han Xuanchang's face.
"Lord Han, this is another matter." Xiao Muzan smiled: "Guotai Min'an, Guotai Min'an!" ”
Han Xuanchang smiled very connotatively: "Yes, Guotai Min'an." He was silent for a moment before asking, "But I don't know who will escort the tax bank into Beijing this time?" ”
He was the Qing Officials Division, and he had the power to know the governor of escorting the tax money into Beijing.
"Xiao Jing!" Xiao Muzan smiled maliciously: "He has to do things sooner or later, and it's better to have experience earlier." ”
Han Xuanchang thought for a moment and nodded: "Young man, it's a good thing to have more experience!" ”
