Hanhou

When the door of the house was kicked open, Tian Man was hugging the newly acquired beauty, drinking and having fun with a few clansmen.

Juye, Tonghuai and other places were submerged by floods, all good fields and houses were destroyed, and the people were left homeless.The prefects of Dongjun, Donghai and Jinan counties went to the embankment in person, and their families and clansmen each took orders. When the water hit, no one retreated.

In the disaster-stricken counties and counties, wealthy merchants took advantage of the opportunity to create disasters, and there were also many wealthy businessmen who sold food and people to weather the disaster together.

On the other hand, to the north of the old river, because there is no flood, the fields are rich and the houses are safe.In the event of natural disasters, most of the tyrants have no benevolence. Instead of helping the victims, they took advantage of the fire to rob, colluded with profiteers to drive up the price of grain and medicine, and shoddy the old grain mixed with sand for new grain.

Not counting this, there are even a few families who lost their conscience and became so mad that they collaborated with the child traffickers, robbed the victims of the disaster, and forced the common people to be children.Those who failed to escape in time were beaten to death and their bodies were thrown into the river.

From the diversion of the Yellow River and the flooding of Juye to the present, in just three months, the Tian family in Shanyi County has looted thousands of Tiantong, including many tycoons, the number is shocking.

Tian Man is the head of the Tian family and the elder brother of Tian Fu.

As early as in the reign of Emperor Jingdi, because Liu Che was established as the crown prince, and after Wang Xi granted him the title, Tian and Wang both received land from the emperor.

After that, the king enfeoffed him as a marquis, and the land was changed to a town.After the imperial court conquered Minyue and Nanyue, Wang Xin's fiefdom expanded accordingly, and now it is more than ten times its original size.

However, the newly added land is all in Baiyue. In the eyes of the Tian family who don't know the details, it is a wild land and it is not worth mentioning.

Tian Fu knows the inside story, and is very greedy for these lands that can produce grain and grow crops.

However, he does not have a title, and his official position is stuck in Zhongdofu, and there has been no sign of promotion for several years.Even if Wang Zhi became the empress dowager and moved into Changle Palace, Liu Che's current attitude would not be of much help.

He didn't want to be unable to become a Chinese doctor, no matter how hot-eyed he was, he could only stand aside and watch Wang Xin make a lot of money.

However, the fact that the emperor didn't reward him didn't mean that the Tian family didn't act in private.

From the reign of Emperor Jing to the present, the Tian family took advantage of Wang Zhi's prestige to do a lot of "market" and "land" transactions in the countryside.As long as it is a fertile land that Tian Man likes, he will try his best to get it, and it is all at a "low price".

Because the sufferer did not sue, and there was a legal contract, even if he guessed that there was something tricky in it, the official temple had no way to investigate and deal with it.

Not everyone has Zhidu's courage, and not everyone has Ning Cheng's ruthlessness.If cruel officials were the norm, they would not be specially recorded by historians, and would be written into separate chapters.

If the people don't raise it, it's hard to investigate the officials.

Coupled with Tian Man's advice from Tian Fu, he has never killed anyone on the surface, and he has acted insidiously, buying off the sufferer's clansman and neighbors with meager profits, making the other party have no license to appeal, nowhere to ask for help, and has been doing evil for years However, he has always been safe and sound, and has never been traced and held accountable.

With more and more land and wealth, Tian Man became more and more courageous.

This time the Yellow River migrated, and the south of the old river was flooded. Tian Man was greedy, and joined several powerful families, disregarding human life, and did many evil things.

Even after receiving a letter from Tian Fu, knowing that Chang'an sent a disaster relief envoy with [-] soldiers accompanying him, Tian Man still did not intend to stop.He only restrained himself a little on the surface, and made a show, but he still did what he should do secretly, and even became more rampant.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet.

Knowing that the imperial court's disaster relief envoy arrived, Tian Man was still greedy for profit, like mosquitoes who did not know how to restrain themselves when they saw blood, and sent people to meet the child traffickers, hoping to sell another batch of Tian children.As a result, he was caught by Zhao Jia, and the evidence was directly in his hands.

The disciples of the Tian family twisted their hands backwards, and the blade touched their necks. They were like a puddle of mud immediately. When they asked what to do, they dared not hide anything.

"Mouse gall, you son of a bitch!"

Seeing that he recruited quickly, he should say what he should say or not, and he would say everything out, and he would even say that the two families who came to pick him up together were the masterminds.The latter flew into a rage, and even though he was held in the water, he still raised his head desperately and yelled at him.

The child trafficker knew that what he was doing was a black-hearted business. Now that he was caught, he would never end well.Both left and right were dead, but they were quite calm. When Zhao Jia questioned him, he shamelessly talked about the conditions.

"Leave my family alone, and I will confess."

The imperial court banned slave trading, and once caught, it was bound to be severely punished.Whether it involves family members can be considered carefully.The child dealer knew he couldn't run away, but he wanted to find a way out for his family and leave a bloodline behind him.

"Leave your family alone?" Zhao Jia laughed angrily.

"You keep talking about the blood of your family, do you know the situation of the people who were looted? They are ordinary people, but they are going to be reduced to child slaves, their relatives are separated, and their lives are involuntary!"

"The copper coins in your hands, the meals your family eats, the clothes you wear, and the houses you live in are all the blood and tears of others!"

"innocent?"

"You can enjoy all kinds of things with peace of mind, what face do you have to mention the word innocent?!"

Zhao Jiayue became more and more annoyed when he said that, so he simply jumped off the boat, walked up to the child trafficker in a few steps, clenched his collar tightly with one hand, lifted the man who weighed [-] to [-] catties abruptly, and pointed at the rescued woman The child said angrily: "Open your eyes and look at them! If you dare to say the word "innocent" again, I will tie you to a rack, cut off your tongue first, and then cut you into pieces!"

The child trafficker's face was pale, and he was so frightened that he lost control on the spot.

Zhao Jia threw him away, and ordered people to tie Shi Tong's powerful disciples and healthy servants to the sides of the ship, and dragged them forward, allowing him to choke on the water, as long as he didn't drown.

"lead the way."

Regarding Zhao Jia's order, Tian Jiazi cooperated very well, but the other two did not move at all.

Gongsun Ao was furious, and he swung his scabbard to smash it down.

Xin Zhao stopped him, grabbed a man by the bun, and pushed him into the water on the spot.No matter how he struggled, the strength in his hand never diminished.Thinking that it was almost done, he lifted the person up, and after a few breaths, he pushed the person into the water again.

In the past, this was all a means of punishing Tian Tong by the powerful, but now the karma loops, and all the retribution is on themselves.

If Zhao Jia didn't say stop, Xin Zhao wouldn't stop.

Fighting with powerful enemies several times and surviving from the shadow of swords and swords, young people will never show mercy to such villains.

Witnessing the accomplice being pushed into the water time and time again, the struggle gradually weakened, and the rest were finally terrified, trembling and kneeling in the water, willing to lead the way for Zhao Jia.

"It would be nice to cooperate early to save trouble." Xin Zhao sneered, let go, kicked the half-dead and powerful clansman, and said coldly, "Get up and lead the way!"

The fleet waded through the water and docked in the afternoon.

Zhao Jia ordered people to escort the powerful children and healthy servants of the three families, and was going to lead [-] footmen to land ashore and "visit at the door" of each house.

"Aduo, I'll go with you." Han Yan was worried, and wanted to leave his entourage to guard the fleet, so she went with Zhao Jia.

"Wang and Sun will stay here." Zhao Jia said with a smile, "It's just a trivial matter, I'll just go."

"Can……"

"Wang and grandson, this matter involves the Tian family." Zhao Jia whispered, "Before the palace affairs were suppressed by the emperor, there will be aftermath. In order to avoid side effects, it is better for Wang and grandson to avoid suspicion."

The disturbance caused by the Queen Mother was not small, Gong Gaohou was declared into the Changle Palace, and all the families in the south of the city already knew what they should know.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Queen Mother's main purpose is Chen Jiao.But no matter what, Han Yan was involved after all.

The Tian family is a foreign relative, the mother's family of the Queen Mother.

Zhao Jia is the official envoy of disaster relief and bears the emperor's order, so it is only natural to take action to punish the powerful.Even if you are criticized afterwards, there is still a way out.Han Yan, on the other hand, has something to do with Changle Palace, so it's not easy to come forward at this time.Otherwise, it is likely to be slandered for personal enmity and cause unnecessary trouble.

Knowing that Zhao Jia had good intentions, Han Yan did not insist.Just to remind Zhao Jia that Tian Fu had already harbored bad intentions, and he might not be in less trouble than himself.

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Jia said with a smile, "Doctor Zhong is in court."

Not involving the Changle Palace, everything must follow the rules of the court.

Today's Tian Fu is not the Marquis of Wu'an in history, let alone a prime minister who is so arrogant and domineering that he can appoint court officials at will.He has an official but no title, has no achievements in office, and has been hated by two generations of emperors. Even with the Queen Mother as his backing, he still can't make much trouble.

"Ghosts, sinister people, even if they flaunt it for a while, they will eventually die."

Zhao Jia made up his mind, told Han Yan that there was nothing to worry about, and immediately took people to Haoqiang's house.

His purpose is not to reason, but to kill.

Everything he witnessed in Dongjun made him fully understand the meaning of "killing is the best" in Ning Cheng's mouth.The historical records are left behind for future generations to comment on.At the moment, he is willing to take up the butcher knife for the people of the sixteen counties, bearing the notoriety of bloodthirsty.

"right here?"

When he came to Tianman's house, he saw the wall made of rammed earth, the courtyard gate covered with black paint, and glanced at the rain-dropped tiles. Zhao Jia raised his right arm and waved forward.

boom!

With a blunt sound, the courtyard door collapsed.

"who?!"

The health servants and nurses rushed over when they heard the sound, and when they saw the servants of the head of the family who were tied up, and the soldiers of the Han army rushing in with long knives, their scalps became numb and their expressions changed drastically.

"kill."

Zhao Jia didn't want to spend too much time talking, and at one command, the army descended like tigers, rushing all the way from the front yard to the back house.

When Tian Man was arrested, he was already half drunk, and was brought up to Zhao Jia by the soldiers, his eyes were blurred and he couldn't recognize the identity of the man.When he was about to die, he still spoke boldly and threatened: "Zhuzi! Do you know who Naigong is? If you dare to break into my house, and you will report to the Empress Dowager Chang'an, you and your family will be destroyed!"

"Bold!" Zhao Puonu yelled angrily, swept his long legs across, and kicked Tian Man away.

Zhao Jia didn't get angry, and said to Wei Qing: "Write down everything he said, not missing a single word."

"promise!"

Tian Man wanted to get up from the ground, but failed after several attempts.The sharp pain from the back made him completely sober.Looking at Zhao Jia who was wearing a leather belt and wearing a sword, he recognized the ribbon hanging from the bag around his waist, recalling the news he had received earlier, he immediately showed horror, his hands and feet were cold.

"kill."

Seeing that the other party reacted, Zhao Jia didn't say much, and ordered the army to enter and kill all the banquet guests, leaving no one behind.

"You can't kill me!" Tian Man yelled in horror, "I am a member of the queen mother's family, you can't kill me! If you kill me, the queen mother will never let you go! Your whole family will die, the whole family will be destroyed, and the emperor will not be saved you!"

Zhao Jia raised his eyebrows, walked in front of Tian Man, and looked down at the sinner whose arms were twisted, with a handsome smile on his face, seemingly harmless, but frightening for no reason.

Just when Tian Man thought he was going to say something, Zhao Jia suddenly turned around, walked away without saying a word.Every action and every move shows that to him, Tian Man is nothing more than an ant, and a few words are a waste of time.

The cold blade reached his neck, and Tian Man's pupils locked tightly.

At the last moment of life, what surged up was not regret, but unwillingness and resentment.

He complained that the Queen Mother was not as good as Queen Dou, that Tian Fu was not as good as Wang Xin, that Tian's family was not as good as Dou's, Chen's or even Wang's. He never reflected on what he did, let alone why he lost his life.

On the day Zhao Jia landed, all the powerful men of the three surnames were wiped out, and Qinghe County was shocked.Along the way with the fleet, Zhao Jia and Han Yan landed one after another, without exception, killing each time.

The news spread across both sides of the Yellow River, the victims applauded and applauded, and the wicked were terrified.

When Zheng and Ji An heard the news, they both said that this should be the case. They have not met each other yet, and they have already developed a good impression of the disaster relief.

Because the matter involved Tian's family, Zhao Jia's memorial was sent to Chang'an immediately.

After reading the content, Liu Che was furious. It wasn't aimed at Zhao Jia, but the local tyrants who dared to act mischievously, including the Queen Mother's family.

The Queen Mother responded in a different way.

Hearing the news while sick, he didn't attack immediately under strong pressure, he drank the decoction silently and waved away the crowd, only then did he show his deep anger.

"I'm still here today, and the mere school captain borrowed from my tribe. When I'm a hundred years old, I'll be nothing more than fish and meat!"
