Hanhou

Zhao Jia's new residence is located in the south of Chang'an City, with three courtyards, and the location is quite good.

The former owner kept his promise and moved out three days after the deed was signed.

The houses and courtyard walls in the house are in good condition. After some simple repairs, the tiles are replaced, and the courtyard door is painted with new paint. After the customized furniture is delivered, you can move in immediately.

Due to heavy snow blocking the road on the way, Huber and his party failed to arrive in Beijing as scheduled.Repairs, cleaning, and placement of furniture were all done by the children of the Marquis of Pingyang.

As soon as the affairs are arranged properly, Zhao Jia is ready to move, but Hu Bo is still on the way.The family needed manpower, so hiring a marketer would inevitably take advantage of the loopholes. Knowing that Zhao Jia was in a dilemma, Cao Shi waved his hand and directly transferred ten servants from the mansion.

"Ah Yan let out the wind, the emperor knows that Ah Duo bought a house, and the day of moving may come soon, and there must be a servant in the mansion."

Cao Shi had good intentions, and Zhao Jia was in urgent need of manpower, so he could only thank him sincerely and owe another favor.

"It's easy to talk about human feelings." Cao Shi smiled, hooked Zhao Jia's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Aduo brews good wine, just give me a few more jars."

He knows it!

Zhao Jia was very helpless.

He doesn't make wine, he only distills it.

The so-called good wine is nothing more than collecting existing wine for further screening and processing.

Because he stayed in the camp and was inconvenient to go out, he entrusted Wei Yue to make utensils and hire craftsmen.With the wisdom of the third son of Wei, everything is no longer a secret, and [-]% of them have already penetrated the secret.

"I……"

Just as Zhao Jia was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion from across the street.Judging from the sound, it was obvious that someone was fighting.

The noise became louder and louder, and the crowd of onlookers continued to increase.However, the city officials were nowhere to be seen, and the subordinate officials of the Lieutenant's Mansion also did not show up for a long time, allowing the chaos to continue.

Zhao Jia and Cao Shi looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

Not wanting to cause trouble, but unable to hold back his curiosity, a peddler happened to run out of the crowd. Cao Shi immediately ordered someone to stop him and question him carefully.

"What the hell is going on?"

Seeing that the two people were dressed in extraordinary clothes, with long knives on their waists and sacs, their identities might be unusual, the peddler didn't dare to hide anything, and told everything he knew.

"You mean, it was Wei Qihou's mansion cavalry boy who did it?" Cao Shi's face was filled with disbelief.

With Dou Ying as a person, would he allow domestic servants to fight in the downtown area of ​​Chang'an?

"Don't dare to hide it from your nobleman, it's absolutely true." The peddler glanced back at the end of the street, thinking of the ruthlessness when both sides fought, subconsciously wiped off his cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice, "On the other side are the children of Qu Nihou's family and the residence of Ruyinhou. Rider."

Hawkers have been selling goods in Chang'an all year round, walking the streets and alleys, and know the nobles in the south of the city very well.In addition, before the two sides started to fight, they raised their voices and yelled for a long time, and they yelled clearly what they should know and what they should not know.

Dou Ying pulled Wang Xin, Chen Wu and the others, put on a posture, and wrestled with more than 20 Liehou and Guanneihou. It was no secret in the court, and even the people in the north of the city had heard of it.

Qu Nihou and Ruyinhou were both on the list made by Wei Qihou. They were approached twice in three days, but they still couldn't see them behind closed doors. They were really angry.

Even if Dou Ying provoked the matter, knowing that the other party's comer is not good, there must be a backhand, the two still have the ambition to work together, roll up their sleeves and have a fight first.

Relying on the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager, Wei Qihou simply had no scruples. He did too much, he couldn't bear it, and he wanted to vent his anger.

"No wonder."

Knowing who was involved in the fight, Zhao Jia instantly understood why there was such a commotion and the city officials and lieutenant officials never showed up.

Marquis Liehou and Marquis Guannei started gang fights, and put on a posture that they can't finish it without beating up. They are completely two levels away from making trouble with dudes. It blows up like a category [-] hurricane. Most people really can't control it, and they will be blown away .Coupled with the reasons behind it, Lieutenant Ning Cheng may not be able to handle it.

Cao Shi thought of one place with him.

The two of them thought about it together, and they understood that this group fight still had to be fought, and they had no right to intervene in it at all. They were about to change lanes when they saw hundreds of people rushing aggressively.

"That's the residence of the Marquis of Tangyi."

"Zhang Hou?"

"The ones wearing short brown and black cloth belts are Gaihou's children."

As more people joined the battle group, at least six Liehou and Guanneihou were involved in the brawl.Since the founding of Han Gaozu, the six marquises fought in groups and fought in the dark in the city of Chang'an. This is definitely the first time in history, and it can be called unique.

The people of Chang'an really watched the excitement, and even some people with good intentions secretly set up a gamble.Judging from the odds of winning and losing, most people are optimistic about Wei Qihou.After all, this is the great general of the dynasty, with great achievements in battle.

For the other families, although the ancestors Conglong helped the Emperor Gaozu conquer the country, after several generations, the number of unworthy descendants has increased, the number of deeds has decreased, and the head of the family has even taken the lead in making troubles. They are far less prosperous than their ancestors.

Knowing that someone opened a gambling game, Cao Shi became very excited, and he wanted to bet when he opened his wallet.Zhao Jia stopped him in a hurry, and tried to use force, never letting him participate.

With Cao Shi's current status, he is not suitable to participate in this matter at all.

It's fine if things don't get leaked out, once leaked out, 100% will offend people.It will even be used by those who want to, it is really not worth the loss.

"Don't worry, Ah Duo, I know the depth." Seeing that Zhao Jia was really in a hurry, Cao Shi laughed, and took advantage of the situation to put away the money bag.

Really know?

Zhao Jia was skeptical.

However, it was better for Cao Shi to change his mind than to jump into the pit with all his heart.

In order to avoid accidents and unforeseen situations, Zhao Jia simply stopped Cao Shi and prepared to go to the workshop to avoid the chaos first.

"Jun Hou mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to buy a new bookshelf. It's getting late, so we should go to the wooden workshop as soon as possible."

The two walked a certain distance, and the city official and the lieutenant's official finally arrived late.

The parties in the fight had already decided the winner, and as everyone expected, Wei Qihou's side won a complete victory.

City officials and subordinate officials seized the time to arrive, and Liehou and Guanneihou who participated in the fight had already left.

Dozens of sturdy and muscular cavalry boys threw away their sticks, and did not wipe off the blood on their faces. With bruises on the corners of their mouths and eye sockets, they held their heads high and proudly passed the defeated soldiers. Go to Lieutenant's Mansion.

The family children who fell to the ground were also dragged up, counted and taken away together.

The onlookers dispersed one after another, and the petty officials began to clean up the "battlefield".

The blood-stained sticks were cleared away, the ground was swept once, and new soil was quickly sprinkled.If it weren't for the smell of blood left in the air, no one would have guessed what just happened here.

At the court meeting the next day, several Liehou and Guanneihou who participated in the fight were reprimanded.

Judging from the attitude of the emperor, it is obvious that he is biased towards Wei Qihou and others.Regardless of the fierce scolding, basically he lifted it up high, put it down gently, and fined him hundreds of stones.For the rich and powerful foreign relatives, it is not painful at all.

In contrast, Marquis Quni and Marquis Ruyin fell into bad luck. They were first reprimanded by the emperor, and then called into Changle Palace by Empress Dowager Dou to deal with them.

This is not finished.

Because Chen Wu personally participated in the fight, Chen Jiao took up the banner of "arrogance", first went to Empress Dowager Dou to cry, and then went to Liu Che to express her grievances, and insisted on severe punishment for those who dared to beat Tang Yihou.

Liu Xun and Chen Wu are not in the same relationship, but because of the family's face, they naturally support Chen Jiao.With the prestige of the Eldest Princess, it is unreasonable to go all out and start a fight. Marquis Qu Ni and Marquis Ru Yin were blocked from the house, and they dared not stand up, let alone argue.

The Queen Mother didn't want to participate, but the problem was that it involved Gaihou Wangxin, her own brother!

Even if Wang Xin has a bad relationship with her, they are the only natal family who can be relied on.Moreover, this matter involved a lot. Empress Dowager Dou and Chen Jiao both expressed their attitudes, standing on the side of the emperor, and helping the emperor put pressure on the court in the name of protecting his family. As the mother of the emperor, how could she stay out of it?

Ever since, after a group fight between Liehou and Guanneihou, the two palaces suddenly came to a tacit understanding. wrestling.

The combination of Dou, Wang, and Chen, together with Nangong Hou and the courtiers attached to several families, formed a force that should not be underestimated, and could even influence the court situation.

A small number of princes and kings who secretly formed an alliance and prepared to counterattack collectively began to feel anxious, unable to bear the pressure, and even retreated.Opinions cannot be unified, and cracks appear in the already loose alliance in an instant.

Dou Ying seized the right time, started from the weakest point, and accused Qu Nihou Chen He of forcibly taking other people's wives. The evidence was conclusive and finally broke the deadlock that had lasted for many days.

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, Chen He was imprisoned, Lieutenant Ning Cheng tried his best, and the interrogated confessions were filled with ten wooden boxes.

In the end, Chen He committed several crimes, was confiscated, and sentenced to abandon the market.In order to save his life, Chen He had to spend all his family's wealth, and handed over the copper mountain in his hand and the family boy who was good at minting coins, and finally kept his head.

Even if you do mental calculations without intention, as long as you stand upright and stand the test of your words and deeds, you will not be caught by others, and the country will be abolished and the family business will be wiped out.

If Chen Pingquan knows, seeing that his descendants are so unworthy, it is estimated that the coffin boards will not be able to hold them down.

After Qu Nihou, Ruyinhou and Zhanghou were convicted one after another. Fortunately, the charges are still light, and they can be exonerated by losing copper.After a turmoil, although the number of households in the feudal country has been reduced, the title is still there.He was not as unlucky as Chen He, who was directly demoted from a marquis to a commoner. If there hadn't been a copper mountain to pay for his crimes, the grass on the grave would have grown more than two feet high.

Liu Che's combination of punches not only frightened the princes, but also shocked Liu Ling.

Obviously everything went well before, so Liu Che was suppressed and even sent silk gold.In the blink of an eye, the situation was turned upside down, and the good situation was gone forever. Not to mention further planning, the alliance formed before became not very reliable.

Liu Ling couldn't figure it out, so anxious, he had no choice but to send a letter to King Huainan.

As before, the messenger was intercepted when he left the city.Relying on their courage and skill, several rangers attempted to walk through the forest garden in order to avoid surveillance.

Their luck was bad, bad even.Turning left and right, he bumped into Shaling infantry running with a heavy load.

Originally the pawns would not run so far, but after the actual combat training, all the battalions were increasing their size. Zhao Jia's unit, which was a part of the trap, was even used as a benchmark and imaginary enemy by the other three battalions.

If they don't want to be overtaken, the Shaling infantry must put more weight on themselves, carry at least forty catties, and run five miles more than others every day.In this way, the scope of activities will naturally expand.

The ranger was very unfortunate to meet Shaling infantry in training.

The head of the village who led the team was experienced, and when he found trespassers, he took them down without saying a word.

There is no shortage of human life in the hands of the ranger, so he pulls out his knife and fights against trapped beasts.It's a pity that they picked the wrong opponent. The Shaling infantry adhered to the principle of "efficiency" and did not play heads-up, but only practiced group fights.

When the order was issued, all the soldiers rushed forward, three times, five times and two divisions, and tied the rangers into rice dumplings.One point for each other, the right is to increase the training, carry it on the shoulders, and run all the way back to the camp.

In view of previous experience, the civil servants had no intention of wasting time, and directly asked Xiaowei Zhao to preside over the interrogation.

As the younger generation that Zhidu is optimistic about, Zhao Jia gave up struggling, picked up Zhou Jue Cao's usual knife and pen, and approached You Xia's left eye with the sharp point. Without wasting words, he simply said: "Say it?"

In less than an hour, the ranger spit out one after another.

Zhao Jia was not surprised at all when he heard Liu Ling's name.Invite Cao Shi and Han Yan to send people to the city, and you will be considered as completing the task.

"I'll move tomorrow." Zhao Jia picked up a piece of fine cloth, wiped his hands and said with a smile, "All the food and wine have been prepared, please spare your time."

Looking at Zhao Jia, who was smiling and seemingly harmless, and the ranger who was half dead with only one breath left, and thinking about the spies who were sent into the city before, Cao Shi and Han Yan shuddered.

Really unbelievable.

I heard from Wei Yue before that Zhao Jia was favored by Yanmen prefect Zhi Zhi, and they often wrote letters to each other, but they still didn't believe it.Looking at it now, it really is that people are divided into groups, and things of a kind flock together!
