Chapter 145: Thank You (I)
The next year, when he went to Chengdu Fucheng, Song Ziye already felt an obvious difference.
Chengdu Mansion is the seat of Yizhou governance, is the center of the entire Shu region, Wang Hongyi's current foundation is located, the population is large, Chengdu Mansion has always been an endless stream of people coming and going.
Now that Song Ziye has arrived at the city of Chengdu, he sees that there are more caravans in and out than usual, but they are in order, which is a good thing, but at a glance, he can see the entire city, revealing a murderous atmosphere.
Looking at the past from afar, there were twice as many garrison sergeants at the city gate as usual, and these sergeants were all dressed in thin armor and standing at the city gate in good spirits.
Obviously, there was this group of soldiers standing at the gate of the city, and no one dared to disturb them at all, and there was an aura of slaughter on them, which was even more obvious.
"In the city, I'm afraid something has happened!"
Seeing this situation, Song Ziye's expression couldn't help but be a little more solemn.
"Young master, a purge has just ended in the city, and a lot of fine work has been arrested, and there are several big families, and they have been raided and exterminated......" At this time, the accompanying director obviously felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly urged the horse to Song Ziye, and said to Song Ziye.
Speaking of this, his face was a little ugly: "The Zeng family, the He family, and the Zhang family are all inside!"
"It's okay!" At this time, seeing Song Ziye, he slowly shook his head: "Even if there is something in the city, it is not aimed at us, so we don't need to worry." ”
"The Wang family is our own clan, and our Song family is a relative of the son-in-law, unless we plan to abolish my sister and eldest son, I won't touch the Song family, but you, this guy, got these news, and you didn't tell me, and at this time, you said, aren't you afraid that Young Master Ben will punish you for hard labor?"
Song Ziye glanced at the main matter in front of him, and the other party hurriedly explained: "Young master, a few days ago, the little one received a letter and told you, but you were chatting with Miss Xie at the time, so you ...... talk about it in a few days."
Song Ziye's face also eased slightly: "Forget it, let's go into the city, Miss Xie is afraid that she will be tired all the way, when she arrives at the residence of the Song family in the city, she must be entertained by her, and give instructions to this young master, Miss Xie is not an ordinary qinist, she is from a famous family, everyone in the piano arts, who dares to embarrass her, this young master will not be spared!"
"The little one knows, please rest assured, young master!" said the main clerk hurriedly, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
The eldest young master of the Song family, although he is polite in his words and deeds, he is a person who is implicitly unruly, and he will not even give a straight eye to a woman who is an artist, but this Miss Xie was quite taken care of by Song Ziye on the way to the Song family, although she is a beauty from the point of view of her figure.
The problem is that Song Ziye's attitude towards Miss Xie is not like being a woman, but more like an apprentice who treats "everyone".
With only piano skills, can you really convince the child?
This kind of thing is only in legends, and when the principal thought of this, he secretly glanced at the carriage that was quite well protected, and became more and more curious about this Miss Xie's piano skills.
Of course, behind this Miss Xie, there were several domestic servants, including a middle-aged man with a long sword, but the principal didn't think it was anything unusual.
Chengdu Fucheng has indeed just undergone a major purge.
Historically, when Li Cunye was in charge of Chengdu Mansion, there were many fine works mixed with businessmen and travelers, and several major families colluded with outside forces, but Li Cunye's clean-up was not so smooth.
When Li Cunye was at war with Guanzhong, the backyard caught fire.
Although it was finally calmed down after suppression, it caused Li Cunye to miss a good opportunity in the struggle for hegemony in the world.
In this case, Wang Hongyi will not let it happen.
First of all, the family that rebelled against water and leaked in the previous life was cleared out of the list, and then the thirteen divisions were ordered to investigate.
Before the reunification of Shuzhong, it was not appropriate to act, and after the unification of Shu, it was immediately cleaned up in Fucheng.
The exterminated families all have internal and detailed suspicions, but when punishing crimes, they can use this crime if they can find out the crime, and it doesn't hurt if they can't find evidence for a while.
A few of these families have no handle, and they really want to find trouble, how can they find sin, this is the sin that they want to add, and there is no word for it.
For a time, 1,000 people were killed in a row, and the execution ground was counted in a row, and the bloody atmosphere was permeated, and 110,000 acres of land were copied, and the gold and silver were discounted by 1.2 million!
Suddenly, Shu was terrified and frightened, and no one dared to move for a while, and Wang Hongyi's goal of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger had been achieved.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, don't hesitate to punish the canon!" This sentence has been spread, and it deeply makes people feel the bloody weight in it.
As for the Song family, in the past few years, they have been very cautious and low-key, but they can't bite the Song family, some people with ulterior motives, struggling to the death, and want to muddy the water, even if they bite the Song family, they were beaten to death on the spot by the prepared judges.
The current Shu land is calm.
It's just that Wang Hongyi's order has not been withdrawn, and the soldiers are still patrolling the city.
"Let's enter the city first, go to the main house of the Song family. Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Ziye said.
"Drive!" As he spoke, Song Ziye shouted fiercely, and the white horse under his crotch ran up, and there were hundreds of people in the group, and they quickly arrived at the gate of Chengdu Fucheng.
"Who is coming, do you have a document through the city?" Seeing hundreds of people coming quickly, some of the guards immediately became vigilant, and one of the city guards was shouting loudly.
At this time, Song Ziye and the main affairs around him, in order to avoid being affected by the war and being looted by robbers along the way, changed into ordinary clothes and used ordinary carriages, without the logo of the Song family.
And since the last gaffe, Song Ziye was sent out, and he has not returned to Chengdu Mansion for more than a year, and has been doing business in other states, and it is normal for these soldiers guarding the city to not recognize Song Ziye for a while.
Seeing that Song Ziye immediately had weapons, these garrison soldiers even crossed their spears in their hands, staring at each other.
"I am the son of the Song family, and there is a convoy of the Song family behind me, you dare to stop it, get out of the way for me!" coldly reprimanded, Song Ziye still strangled the white horse under his crotch, and at the same time, took out a waist card from his arms and was thrown down by Song Ziye.
The defending team was hurriedly picking up the waist card, and after seeing the handwriting on it clearly, their faces couldn't help but change slightly.
"It's the Song family's caravan, it's not an outsider, let it go!" and bowed his hand to Song Ziye: "I have offended a lot before, please Song Gongzi Haihan!"
"Yes. Song Ziye nodded, which was a response.
The defending team respectfully handed back the waist card to Song Ziye and made way of the way.
Song Ziye took the waist card, without any hesitation, led the team, and immediately urged the horse into the city.
In the city of Chengdu, there are many more shops on both sides of the street at this time than when Song Ziye came last time, although there are not many pedestrians on the street, the pedestrians passing by are all well-dressed and their faces are shiny.
Looking around, Song Ziye had to admit that under Wang Hongyi's governance, not only was Chengdu much cleaner, but also a lot more prosperous.
The street that I am walking on now is directly connected to Nancheng, and the people who live there are all big families and officials, and there are relatively few ordinary people coming and going, and there are almost no people in the street, and Song Ziye's hundred people are unimpeded.
In just a moment, the main house of the Song family had already appeared in front of Song Ziye's eyes.
After leaving for so long, looking at the familiar mansion, Song Ziye couldn't say how he felt.
"Dismount. He said to the people behind him, and at the same time, as soon as he pulled the reins, he also flew off his horse, and the people behind him also dismounted.
Song Ziye casually handed the reins in his hand to the attendant and walked straight to the door.
In front of the main house of the Song family, there are several guards guarding it.
According to the imperial system, "Shishu families are not allowed to privately store armor and crossbows, and privately possess one collar and three crossbows, and if they are two cadres, they are not allowed to privately store armor and three collars and five crossbows, and they will be hanged." ”
Serious ones are armor and crossbows, and there are also controls on common weapons such as swords.
Although there must be a few armed servants in each dynasty, from the royal family to the officials, and the family, if the number exceeds a certain number, that is, the private soldiers, they enter the realm of conviction for rebellion.
According to the system, if you are a person with no merit and a name, you are guilty of holding more than five knives.
Those who have meritorious names or concessions cannot break ten.
Originally, in troubled times, weapons flowed into the people, but now that Shu is unified, control is gradually restored, and the Song family is licensed to "protect the number of one hundred"
These people are far stronger than ordinary nurses, and they are originally sergeants, with a murderous aura on their bodies, and just standing here gives people a sense of oppression.
These people were not armed with weapons, but stood there, just wearing long knives at their waists, and they were already full of momentum.
Their faces looked unfamiliar, they should be newly recruited people for more than a year, and when Song Ziye walked over, they didn't recognize who was in front of them.
"Who is coming?" Seeing Song Ziye stopping in front of the Song Mansion with so many people, the leader immediately let out a low shout.
"Are you new here?" Song Ziye glanced at them: "I am the eldest prince here." ”
As he spoke, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and walked straight towards the house.
This is his home, and he is the future head of the family, so if he even goes back to his own home, what proof do you have to show?
"Big Prince?" Among these people, the leader couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and stopped in front of Song Ziye.
"Please stop, wait until the butler comes out and recognizes you before you can enter!"
"Presumptuous!" Song Ziye heard this, stopped, and said angrily: "You slave, if you commit the following crimes, you are not afraid that this son will ask for the crime?"
A cold drink came out of Song Ziye's mouth, Song Ziye's eyes were fixed on this person's face, doing business abroad is not peaceful, and when he encounters murder and bloodshed from time to time, this gaze makes several people tremble.
The thirty-year-old guard gritted his teeth in his heart, but took a half step back: "Please don't embarrass us!"
Several of the guards behind him touched the hilt of the knife.
thought that hearing this, Song Ziye would be furious with the attendants behind him, but instead he saw Song Ziye's face turned blue, but he endured it, snorted coldly, and did not speak.
At this time, the housekeeper who rushed out after hearing the news saw Song Ziye at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Big young master!"
Song Ziye stopped him and said instructed: "If you have a distinguished guest at the house, go and prepare a courtyard quickly, clean it up, and go quickly!"
After a pause, he whispered, "Who are these?"
"Young master, although these are guards, they are actually soldiers sent from above. The butler whispered, and when he had finished speaking, he commanded in a loud voice, "Do you hear me, go and get ready." ”
