The ancestor of the Lu family personally went out and tied his grandson to the court, which not only shocked Liu Han Moqi, but also Sheng Huai and Wang Ze.

No one expected him to come to this hand!

Liu Han couldn't find Wang Ze, in fact, Wang Ze had been in the yamen of the state capital, he made a mistake, thinking that Wang Ze would hide in Wang Bo's house, so he sent people to keep an eye on Wang Bo's houses, but he didn't expect Wang Ze to play a game for him.

Because of Liu Han's existence, Wang Ze has been cautious, he doesn't know that Liu Han already knows the identity of his hidden immortal sect, but the grievances between the Wang family and Liu Han are entangled, and it is not over yet, if Liu Han has the opportunity, he will definitely kill himself without hesitation, of course, he is the same.

But Liu Han's current identity is a fake captain of the Tiger Benwei, and he controls all the armaments in Yangzhou, state soldiers, county soldiers, and water divisions, all of which are controlled by him, and there are guards in and out, plus his cultivation as a top-grade grandmaster, it is already very difficult to kill him.

Wang Ze can only wait for the opportunity, and before that, he has to ensure that his identity will not be exposed, otherwise, the Cao Gang, who is looking for the real murderer, will set their eyes on him.

Lu Qiao introduced the two of them into the living room, the ancestor sat still, and waited for Sheng Huai Wang Ze to respectfully salute before lightly inviting them to sit down.

"The ancestor's move today can be described as shaking the world," Sheng Huai said: "It's just a pity for the second son." ”

"When the tree is big, it is inevitable that there will be dead branches, broken and falling, and now this matter should be placed in the Wang family, the virtuous nephew, and the disposal of Brother Ling, I'm afraid it is no different from me. The old ancestor said slowly, his tone and expression were very calm.

A thousand-year-old family naturally has the bearing of a thousand-year-old family, and makes trade-offs.

"Shibo's disposition is admirable, the second son didn't kill anyone after all, but he just had to suffer a little," Wang Ze said slowly: "However, this matter seems simple, but it is actually Gu Wei Liu Han's means for the new tax system, Shibo, Gu Wei is becoming more and more aggressive, and recently impeached three county orders, it seems that he has a heart." ”

The ancestor of the Lu family sneered: "He has already made a heart, from the salt tax reform to the present, he didn't have a heart that time, Lord Shan, whether you can keep the three county orders this time depends on you." ”

Lu Qiao didn't speak on the side, but he was greatly admired in his heart, the ancestor made this move and hit it first.

Sure enough, Sheng Huai looked embarrassed, shook his head with a wry smile: "Ancestor, it's not that I don't exert my strength, I impeach him almost half a month, and the emperor doesn't pay attention to it at all, Taishi Pan has a letter, let's not mess up, alas." ”

Old ancestor, only the ancestor of the Lu family has this title in Yangzhou, whether it is an official or an ordinary person, they all call it like this, not Sheng Huai is in a hurry to please.

"Nephew, what does Brother Ling think, if we have a hard encounter with Gu Wei here, it will be an egg touching a stone?"

From the very beginning, the old ancestor controlled the entire situation, and both Sheng Huai and Wang Ze involuntarily followed his baton and were led by his nose.

"Ancestor, with eggs, who is the stone, maybe it's not clear. Wang Ze smiled lightly: "This Gu Wei is just an ambitious villain, and it is easy to take power, so he is naturally going to make waves." ”

"But to calm this storm, we can't do it in Yangzhou alone, and we have to start with the imperial court. The old ancestor said steadily, not in a hurry.

"The old ancestor is wrong," Wang Ze said: "This matter cannot be done by the imperial court alone, and it must be done by working up and down." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ze paused: "Let's be patient, Gu Wei will let him run rampant for a while, three county orders, if you can keep it, you can keep it, and if you can't keep it, you will abandon it, Gu Wei will definitely appoint county orders from those people who are hungry for profit, but what about the lieutenant below, it's not still our people."

Secondly, this year's spring tax is about to begin, and the emperor now trusts Gu Wei because Gu Wei promised the emperor that the new tax system can bring more taxes to the imperial court, but if he can't, will the emperor still trust him like that?"

"If you can pay less taxes, then of course it's good, does the nephew have any good ideas?" the old ancestor asked with a frown.

Wang Ze nodded without hesitation, and said coldly: "Every spring and summer, there will be plum rain, if, at this time, if there is a breach of the embankment and flooding, the grain harvest will be reduced, it is certain, and the imperial court will definitely be tax-free." ”

Everyone gasped, and the embankment burst and flooded, and it poured for thousands of miles, and how many people were affected and how many people died.

Poisonous enough! Ruthless enough!

After Wang Ze finished speaking, he didn't speak again, just paying attention to everyone's expressions.

"It's a good plan, but this is a natural disaster, can it bring down Gu Wei?" asked the old ancestor hesitantly.

"Natural disasters, I think they are man-made disasters. Wang Ze smiled faintly.

"Yes, natural disasters or man-made disasters, this depends on how the imperial court decides. Sheng Huai laughed.

"Then who is going to do it, and where is it?" the old ancestor asked again.

"The embankment can't just collapse in one place, the south and north of the river will collapse, and even if Gu Wei is vigilant, he can't find anyone and has no money. Wang Ze lowered his voice and said: "The affairs of Jiangnan are entrusted to the ancestors, and the affairs of Jiangbei are handled by the Zhang family." ”

"Cheng," the old ancestor agreed very dryly: "However, the salt field cannot be flooded." ”

"That's nature, and the salt pans don't pay taxes. Wang Ze smiled knowingly.

As he was talking, the next person came in to report, and Yu Wen and Zhang Ying came to visit.

----------------------------

The hand of the ancestor of the Lu family quickly spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, and was highly praised by Shilin students, Lu Qiao went to visit the Han family on the same day, sent a hundred taels of silver to the Han family, and at the same time redeemed the Han family's property and returned it to the Han family.

This series of actions of the Lu family made Liu Han puzzled, of course he was not a small citizen in the market, and he instinctively felt that there must be some conspiracy here, but what was the conspiracy?

Liu Han ordered the internal guards to strengthen vigilance, the city guards and the county soldiers to strengthen the vigilance, and quietly went to the water division to have a secret meeting with Man Tong, and asked him to closely monitor the children of the Yangzhou gate lords in the army.

"What does the Lu family want to do?" Liu Han told the story of the past few days.

Ju Yi leaned on the bed and couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's not simple, this is to tell you, the Lu family admits defeat, you see, Master Gu's side will definitely go well, and no one will secretly stumble." ”

"But I always feel that there is something strange here, the Lu family should not admit defeat so simply, and Sheng Huai has almost no resistance,...." Liu Han said and shook his head slightly, he knew his flaws, he had too few connections in the officialdom of Dajin, and he was too unfamiliar.

"What's so hard to understand about this," Ju Yi leaned on the bed, his face was sick, in the past few days, he was really sick, looking at Liu Han's eyes weakly: "There is bending and stretching, these thousand-year-old families, nothing has happened." ”

Liu Han understood that the Lu family was not honest, but just waited by when it was received.

It may not be just the Lu family, all the Shi clan gate valves are on standby at the end of the day.

Historically, reform has always been difficult, not to mention that this reform was only promoted by a small number of people.

Sure enough, in the next month, Gu Wei's itinerary suddenly accelerated, everything went smoothly, and no one secretly stumbled, counted the population, measured the land, and replaced the land certificate, everything went smoothly.

What's more important is that the imperial court decree came down, and the three county orders were dismissed, and the vacancies were hired by Gu Weiliangcai, and Sheng Huai was severely reprimanded.

Liu Han spread this holy decree in all directions, Yangzhou officialdom was discolored, the momentum of the new tax system suddenly rose, and more than a dozen scholars came to recruit, but Liu Han didn't ask for any of them, telling them that the recruitment was over, and whether to carry out the next recruitment would have to wait for Gu Wei to come back and then discuss.

The scholars were very disappointed, and a few of them wanted to get angry, but Liu Han looked sincere, apologized frequently, and repeatedly told them that he couldn't be the master.

Seeing off the scholars, Liu Han was relaxed, and when he had leisure, he slipped to Gu Mansion and fooled around with Zhu Niang and Mei Niang for two days, caressing their smooth and satin-like skin, and suddenly remembered the three of Song's sister-in-law, mother and daughter, and didn't know what decision they made.

Sneaking to the small village, the mother and daughter of the Song family are still there, and the mother and daughter are very respectful when they see him, this kind of courtesy is a little more flavorful than before.

"Looks like you've figured it out. Liu Han sat down and glanced at it casually, there were a few bags in the room, which were obviously cleaned up.

"Yes, sir. Sister-in-law Song replied respectfully, and Xiuniang and Zhen'er also stood behind her in a proper manner.

"I know your decision," Liu Han nodded slightly, and put a silver ticket on the table: "This is five hundred taels of silver tickets, you can find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live, don't worry about the rivers and lakes anymore, these rivers and lakes, don't mix." ”

After speaking, he got up to leave, and then stopped: "It's not the decision of the palace to let you go, so in the future, if the palace finds you, you know the consequences."

I suggest you go to the south, according to my observations, the strength of the internal guard in the south is weak, be careful, you can live in peace in this life. ”

After finishing speaking, she raised her feet and was about to go out, and Sister-in-law Song hurriedly spoke: "My lord." ”

Liu Han frowned slightly, turned to look at her, Sister-in-law Song hesitated and said: "To be honest, our mother and daughter really don't want to stay in the inner guard anymore, we have had enough of this precarious day, but... , Leaving the internal guard, we don't know where to go, the time when the adult joined the internal guard is not long, if you really want to find someone in the palace, then you can't find it, didn't this Mo Kun run, a few days ago, there was news that he was dead, and he was found in Yu County. ”

Liu Han's brows furrowed even deeper, Mo Kun fled in fear, he was the protector of the Cao Gang Tiger Hall, but his name was not in the list given to him by Fang Mei's clan, it was obvious that the infiltration of the Cao Gang in the palace was two lines.

It was his order to hunt down Mo Kun, and in the eyes of the internal guards, this was a matter of course, but... , if you want to kill Song's sister-in-law's mother and daughter, he has to give the order, and he naturally won't give this order.

"Adults will naturally protect our mother and daughter, but how long can adults stay in Yangzhou, after the adults leave, the successors will not chase and kill us, so our mother and daughter have an idea to protect the big door. Sister-in-law Song looked at him expectantly.

"Protect my subordinates!" Liu Han was very surprised, and his face was extremely ugly.

Give an inch and take a mile!
