Hanhou

Xiong Bo and the others dispersed and galloped towards the four directions of the livestock farm, and soon found the field seals that had been piled up many years ago.It's a pity that many places have been destroyed, and the people who destroyed it have disappeared.The last place left is just to block the thief.

"Take it!"

Uncle Xiong had been greatly favored by Zhao Jia's grandfather, and he had amazing strength. He followed Zhao Gongcao several times to fight the Xiongnu, climbed out of the dead, and was full of killing spirit.

Knowing that Zhang Tong wanted to murder Zhao Jia in order to seize the livestock farm, he was furious.Seeing the thieves wielding tools and destroying the Tianfeng, their eyes were even redder. They were not thinking about asking questions, but they were going to kill several people on the spot.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the thief looked up, realized that something was wrong, threw away his tools, turned around and ran away.

Uncle Xiong whistled, Qing Zhuang grabbed the rope for the horse, danced wildly, and threw it towards the thief with all his strength.Before the thief got on his horse, he was already wrapped around his neck and fell hard to the ground.

Seeing the culprit's face clearly, Uncle Xiong and Qing Zhuang's expressions changed drastically.

"Why are you guys?!"

The thief spat out a mouthful of blood, knowing that he couldn't escape, he just smashed the jar, grinned yellow teeth, and said with a wanton smile: "It's your lord!"

Snapped!

The whip was pulled down in the air, and a bloodstain appeared on the face of the thief who was speaking.

The thief was quite stubborn, hissed and breathed out cold air, and continued to shout: "It's just a few slave dogs, if you have the ability, beat me to death!"

"Your Majesty has treated you well, and this is how you will repay him? Vote for a foreign county magistrate to murder your Majesty?!" Seeing that Qing Zhuang still wanted to swing the whip, Uncle Xiong blocked it with his right arm and directly grabbed the tail of the whip.If you smoke to death, you won't be able to ask a lot of questions.

"Will you wait for me?" The thief laughed loudly, glanced greedily at the direction of the livestock farm, and said bitterly, "If you really don't wait for me, you should teach me how to make money by waiting! I waited for him, but in the end I couldn't It’s two meals a day, so I won’t die of starvation! County magistrate Zhang promised us great benefits, and we will serve the county magistrate!”

"Without Mr. Lang, you should have starved to death two years ago!" A young man said angrily.

"Hey!" The thief sneered, and even spat at Qing Zhuang.

"Let me wait for my life, so I should wait for a good life! He eats meat with brocade every day, and we can only have two meals of corn porridge? A mere child, how can He De enjoy this big family business, so he should present it to him. The magistrate is the magistrate! Uncle Xiong, if you know the way, let me loose, and help us accomplish this together, and your benefits will be indispensable!"

Looking at the culprit who was in a mess and still uttering evil words, the young and strong blushed, wishing he could draw his knife and kill him on the spot.

Uncle Xiong stopped several people and said, "Drag back to the livestock farm, I have my own arrangements."

Several thieves were tied behind horses and dragged all the way back to the livestock farm.This time, no matter how hard he was, he couldn't help but let out a scream.

The horse stopped in front of the fence, the clothes on the thief's body were all torn, bloodstains and ice slags were all over his head and face, and he was almost breathless.Even if it is not tied, it is still limp on the snow, without the strength to struggle and escape.

"Bring those two villains, too."

Uncle Xiong gave an order, and immediately a young man walked into the sheepfold and dragged out the two half-dead thieves.

Several thieves faced each other and quickly recognized each other.Seeing the other party's miserable state, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Uncle Xiong became ruthless, whipped his head and face, and even poured a bucket of snow water on everyone, forcing him to ask who else was involved in this matter, whether it was from the county.Ask all you want to ask, and make sure you can't ask another half a sentence. Regardless of life or death, tie all the thieves together in one place and let them howl in the cold wind.

After about a stick of incense, the young and healthy women who had gone out came back one after another and informed the situation of the damage to the Tian Feng.

"The destroyed field seal, we have temporarily built it."

Uncle Xiong ordered the old man to keep an eye on the livestock farm, and he led the young men on horseback, leaving behind the most "cooperative" thief, and tied the rest with ropes and dragged them to a mound far away from the livestock farm.

"It's right here."

Uncle Xiong looked around and signaled the young and strong horse to go away, then turned over and landed, drew out the dagger from his waist, and slashed several times on the culprit's arms and thighs.The wound was bone deep, and blood gushed out and soon began to clot.

A thief screamed and begged for mercy, and Uncle Xiong sneered.

"Since you come from the nearby county, you should know the rules here. Helping outsiders to take over your husband's family business, and more importantly, your life, how can I allow you to live on!"

"If I hadn't worried about extra problems, I would have dragged you back to the village, made your evil deeds public, and watched you be torn into pieces and chopped into minced meat!"

The thief cursed loudly, and Uncle Xiong slashed him twice, and his curses immediately turned into screams.

Uncle Xiong took out a piece of wooden pipe from his waist and put it in his mouth.After a while, the howling of wolves sounded, accompanied by the north wind, almost unreal.When there was a response from the wind, Uncle Xiong put away the wooden pipe, jumped on the horse, put his legs between the horse's belly, and galloped away with Qing Zhuang.

Not long after he left, gray and black figures appeared on the horizon, getting closer and closer.

The thief knew what that meant, and he was terrified, struggling to escape.However, I can't use any strength in my hands and feet, so I can only watch helplessly as the pack of wolves gets closer and closer, until I can smell the foul breath from the wolves' mouths...

In such a cold and twelfth lunar month, the original appearance of the corpses bitten by wolves could not be discerned at all.

After the wolves, there are foxes, weasels and crows who specialize in picking up leftovers.After one night, it is estimated that there will not even be a bone left, and it will definitely disappear completely.

After the matter was settled, Uncle Xiong handed over the livestock farm to the old man and the healthy woman to guard him, ordered the young man to guard the field, and rode his horse to Zhao's village alone.He had to discuss with Uncle Hu face to face, if the prefect's house refused to help, what should be done to keep the prince safe.

"At worst, I will risk my life, enter the County Zhongguan Temple, and kill that old dog!"

When Xiong Bo found Hu Bo, Zhao Jia had already entered Yunzhong City and was waiting in the front hall of the prefect's mansion.

In the prefect's mansion, all servants with some qualifications were no strangers to Zhao Jia.In addition to Zhao Gongcao's relationship, it is also because of his contribution to the poisonous chimney a few days ago.Even if he is wearing short brown at the moment, no one dares to neglect him.

The most important thing is that all the old servants who have been in the mansion for more than ten years know that Zhao Jia is treated differently by Wei Yue, and has a lot of abilities, so he will never be buried in the countryside.

About a quarter of an hour later, a healthy servant invited Zhao Jia to the main room.

No matter how anxious Zhao Jia was, he didn't show it on his face.Thinking of Zhang Tong's crude but effective plan, he clenched his fist unconsciously.

There are many heroes in the land of Yanzhao, and they draw their swords when they are angry, and they are happy to enmity.

Living in the Western Han Dynasty for 14 years, he also got this kind of pride unconsciously.If you can't kill a person in ten steps, you can still be cruel and make the person who plots against you vomit a few mouthfuls of blood!

There is something to be desired.

Standing in front of the main room door, Zhao Jia knew that the next response was not only about himself, but also the people of more than ten members of his family, two villages and even a township!

If you don't let me live, you can't even think about it!

Gritting his back molars hard, Zhao Jia stepped into the room and bowed down to the prefect Wei who was sitting a few steps behind.

"Jia pays homage to the envoy!"

The main room has a square layout, and the walls are painted, making it very bright.A screen is facing the door of the house. In front of the screen is a low table with a futon in front.There are bookshelves on both sides of the low table, and there are a lot of bamboo slips and wooden tablets.

Sitting behind a short table, Wei Shang has a huge figure and a stern face.Three strands of long beard fluttered under his chin, his eyes were like lightning, and he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"No need to be polite, come and sit."

Wei Taishou, who is extremely majestic in front of his subordinates, is very kind to Zhao Jia, as kind as an elder in the family.He woke up Zhao Jia and took out a plate of caramel.

"It's grown again, but it's too thin, so use more meat!"

Zhao Jia sat in front of Wei Shang, and said seriously: "Master, Jia has something to report."

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Jia took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Jia has the methods of raising cattle and sheep in captivity and taming cattle, and I would like to dedicate it to the envoy."

Wei Shang didn't make a sound, and the room fell into silence for a while.

Zhao Jia lowered his head, sweat seeped out little by little, and quickly wet his collar.

"Why?"

"The new magistrate of Shaling wants to seize the family property, but Jia can't keep it." It's not that Zhao Jia never thought of fighting with the other party, but the reality made him dispel this idea.

Even if Zhang Tong is mentally retarded, as long as he has the seal of the county magistrate, he can be slapped to death.

He can ignore it and come to a happy enmity.But in that case, years of hard work will be in vain, and what's more, the lives of Hu Bo, Xiong Bo and others will be taken.

For thieves, he can harden his heart, but for Uncle Hu, Uncle Xiong and others who took care of him growing up, he really can't just watch them fall into danger.

"Tell me the details."

Hearing Wei Shang's words, Zhao Jia breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a sense of loss for no reason.Suppressing complicated emotions, he explained in detail the construction of the livestock farm and the method of piercing the nose of the bull, and explained everything about Zhang Tong's dispatch of thieves.

"The breeding of cattle and sheep in captivity has achieved results. This year, more than [-] cattle and sheep have been slaughtered, and the next batch may increase to [-]."

"The method of domesticating cattle is recorded in agricultural books. This book is hidden in the envoy's mansion. Jia had the honor to transcribe it and let the old servants at home test it. It is indeed effective."

"Jiafei is hiding it for private reasons. He just wants to achieve results and then report to the envoy. Please promote it in the county."

A good method may not necessarily be implemented smoothly.Let everyone see the benefits, and the resistance will dissipate by itself.Wei Shang is a pragmatic person, so what Zhao Jia did was more in line with his philosophy.

Zhao Jia knew very well that it was best not to play tricks in front of Wei Shang. To tell the truth, even if the words were not pleasant, at least they would not offend him.

When Zhao Jia spoke, Wei Shang remained silent.

At the end of Zhao Jia's words, he personally fetched the agricultural book that Zhao Jia said, read it carefully, ordered someone to send bamboo slips and a knife and pen, and wrote three volumes in a row, and then said to Zhao Jia: "Let's take a look, is there anything missing in it?"

Zhao Jiaying Nuo stepped forward, looked at the end from the beginning, and said: "Return to the envoy, there is nothing missing."

"Good." Wei Shang closed the bamboo slips, first tied them with a cloth rope, then put a check wood at the knot, sealed it with clay, and finally put it into a cloth bag, and tied the mouth of the bag tightly.

Then he took out two wooden tablets, wrote down the source of the method, and stated that the method was presented by Zhao Jia.After the ink is dry, put the two wooden tablets together and seal them with clay.

Seeing all this, Zhao Jia stared wide-eyed, not knowing how to react.

Naturally, he couldn't hide his thoughts from Wei Shang.

Wei Taishou put the bamboo slips and wooden slips together, and said: "I am the prefect of Yunzhong. I have guarded the frontiers for the Han Dynasty for dozens of years. How can I be greedy for your achievements? However, this matter is related to people's livelihood. I should send someone to check it personally and confirm that it is correct. Only then can the letter be sent to Chang'an."

Zhao Jia opened his mouth, but his voice was choked in his throat, and he couldn't come out.

"As for the villain Zhang Tong, don't worry about it."

Zhang Tong is a county magistrate, Wei Shang called him by his first name, and even denounced him as a villain, which shows how disgusted he is.

Wei Shang has been in charge of the frontier for decades, so the background of the county magistrate under his rule is naturally clear.Let Zhang Tong be honest, if he did such an evil thing just after he took office, even Guan Fu would not be able to protect him!

"It is said that the third son is here."

The healthy servant led away, and after a while, a slender figure appeared at the door.

She was dressed in a deep blue dress with a curly train and a gentleman's belt around her waist. She was elegant and refined.

It is hard to imagine that this noble young man in front of him has almost wiped out the wolves in Yunzhong County, and is even going to ride his horse into the grassland just to hunt a white wolf skin.

Entering the room, Wei Yue greeted Wei Shang first, then nodded to Zhao Jia.

Wei Shang didn't repeat himself, and quickly explained the matter.

"I leave this matter to you."

Wei Yue first agreed, and then said: "Ah, do you care about life or death?"

Wei Yue is the son of Wei Shangcong, and grew up beside the latter, no different from his parents and children, calling Ah Weng even closer.If you say you are the world father, there is no guarantee that you won't be hit on the head by the prefect Wei with a bamboo slip.

"whether."

"promise!"

Hearing this conversation, Zhao Jia's heart instantly stabilized.

The so-called "life or death does not matter" can be directly extended to another meaning: Zhang Tong is dead.
