It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Han family west courtyard, study room.

Qi Qi bowed his head and half knelt in front of his master, his face full of shame.

"My lord, this time it's my subordinate's lack of protection, please punish me, my lord."

The atmosphere in the study was unusually quiet, with a depressive condensation that was about to rain, and a drop of cold sweat gradually slipped from the forehead of Cen Yu, who also came to plead guilty, and let it sink into his collar, not daring to wipe it off.

In front of the two of them, a tall black-robed man was standing at the table, writing something with a pen in his hand. His face was expressionless at the moment, his handsome face was cold, like an iron-faced Yama who continued to exude evil spirits. No one dared to approach him. Hearing him ask lightly: "Did someone pry open his mouth?"

Qi Teng replied: "My lord, according to the confession of the leader of the assassins, they are members of the Xiangjun of the Qinglian sect. Luo Futong, who deceived the world and thieves, did not know where you were. They are afraid that you will rise to power in the future. The name of the ninth grandson of His Majesty who was previously played will be dismantled and will be laughed at and questioned by people all over the world, so I sent a group of capable people who are good at assassination to come to Fuzhou, intending to strike first and harm you. Today on the street , This group of gangsters mistook Mr. Xie who was wearing a tiger mask for you and killed you. His subordinates also found out that Fuyun Temple has been secretly connected with Qinglian Sect. This time they accepted huge bribes. Cover up this group of assassins entering Fuzhou City under the guise of Buddhist monks."

With a snap, the Langhao pen in Han Ji's hand broke into two pieces, and the words he just wrote were glued together into black stains. He didn't care, took another piece of paper, and copied it again, but the handwriting on the pen became more and more blurred. Vigorously, with force piercing the back of the paper, showing his murderous intent, "Send three thousand soldiers to surround Fuyun Temple."

Qi Teng knelt down to accept the order, and then heard his master ask again: "Is there someone behind the Taoist priest?"

Cen Yu went to investigate this matter. He traveled all over the world in business, made friends with various religions, and knew many people. It was much easier to inquire about some strangers in the world than Qi Qi. He stepped forward and said: "Return to the master, according to The subordinates understand that the crazy Taoist priest who rushed to Xie Shi on the street at that time was a well-known alchemist in the Jianghu. The study of strange faces and hexagrams has the eccentricity of the so-called "no wonder, no mystery". It should be a coincidence that this person met us on the street, not someone secretly driving him."

"This person collided with you two for no reason, and caused Mr. Xie to be seriously injured. Why don't you deal with him?"

Han Ji paused when he wrote the pen, and for a moment he seemed to want to nod. After a long time, he put the pen in his hand on the inkstone, and said softly: "No, he always cherishes human life. Since this Taoist likes to look at strange faces, then he will put the pen on the inkstone." Throw him to work in a refugee camp." The refugees are all ordinary faces of poor people, not to mention that Han Ji also ordered him to prohibit him from divination and reading, and prohibit others from communicating with him, which completely deprived this person of his interest in life. , is completely an invisible cage for a madman.Although no one's head fell to the ground, such an aggressive strategy is inevitable.

Both of them knew who the master was referring to, and the three tacitly skipped the treatment of the mad Taoist.

"The subordinates also found out that not only Luo Futong sent people to carry out the assassination, but also the eyeliner sent by Xu Shouzhen in Qishui to investigate our military situation in Fuzhou City..." Han Ji was majestically met on the street during the Buddha bathing meeting. Assassination, although by accident, it was Xie Shi who blocked the catastrophe for Han Ji, and Han Ji, the lord, was safe and sound, but this was a blatant slap in the face of the accompanying guards and the Han family army. After all, Fuzhou City is now Strictly speaking, it was under their control, but it was turned into a sieve by people from all sides going back and forth.

"Qi Chen, you still have one more chance. If you do it again next time, even if your Qi family is kind to my Chu family, I will not use it again."

Qi Teng's scalp was numb, and his face was pale, "Thank you, Lord, if you commit another crime, you will lose face in your lowly position. See the ancestors of the Qi family again."

Han Ji moved his eyes to the map hanging in the middle of the study, and he stared at the three places of Runing Mansion, Guangzhou, and Xizhou for a long time. These three places were the areas captured by the Xiangjun Luo Futong in the Yellow River area not long ago...

Seeing their master's expression like this, Cen Yu and Qi Qi were worried that he would be impulsive, and immediately turned into a blue face, and sent soldiers to drive thousands of miles to find Luo's account.Fortunately, the master is the master, and he understands the truth that a little intolerance can lead to chaos and big plans, and he is very good at nourishing his energy, so he didn't give such a mindless order.It's just that I'm afraid that this surnamed Luo will be hacked into pieces if he meets his master in the future.

After all, dragons have reverse scales, if you touch them, you will die!

"What is the situation in the rest of the states?"

"Master, now Jianning, Yanping, and Shaowu are all under our jurisdiction. Qiu Zhi has taken your appointment and management team to take over the state capital and county governments. Nanping and Xinghua have been cultivated by the Han family for many years. Zhi's forces are here, and they were attacked from the inside out, and he was delighted to receive tens of thousands of soldiers and countless supplies, and now the generals are leading their troops to hunt down and wipe out the remnants of the government and army who fled in the counties under their jurisdiction."

Fujian Province is also known as the "Land of Eight Fujian", including one prefecture, five prefectures and two armies, and 42 counties under its jurisdiction. Today, only Quanzhou and the fringe Tingzhou have not been captured by Han Ji's forces. In just half a month It can be said that Han Ji quickly occupied most of Fujian with the momentum of thunder.

However, Han Ji still shook his head, "It's not fast enough." He took out a tiger talisman, threw it to Qi Qi, and ordered: "The search and guards in the city are handed over to Jiawei and the others. Tingerzhou, before New Year’s Eve, I will receive the good news that Fujian Province has been put under my name. The court should have reacted by now..." After all, two groups of bureaucrats they sent to take over Fuzhou "died unexpectedly" on the way to the post up.

After this incident, the city of Fuzhou ushered in a big cleansing. Not only the incense-filled Fuyun Temple was surrounded overnight by the Han family's army, but even some dark streets and alleys or slums full of filth, the origins of the people were all unknown. After careful investigation, the refugees were properly placed in the newly built shelters in the outskirts, and they relied on their own labor to get paid. Outsiders or rogue assassins with unknown origins were all driven to forced labor in reform camps. Participate in the construction of the city.

"Why has Fuyun Temple been confiscated?!"

"It is said that the monks of Fuyun Temple harbored a group of robbers who assassinated Patriarch Han! Because of this, the whole city was under martial law, and the former refugees in the city and those idlers were thrown out of the city to work. It is said that as long as you work hard, you will have food and a house to sleep in. Isn’t this better than doing some sneaky things in the city?”

"Oh my god, these monks usually look at kindness and good intentions, and give porridge to the poor. How could they do such a thing! I said, why do I feel that there are no idlers on the street these days, and I haven't seen any petty thefts. , the law and order in the city has improved a lot.”

"Put it down, these monks just lied to you idiots. I have a distant relative whose youngest son gave birth to a little boy. He turned out to be a rascal lying at home and relying on his parents and brothers to support him. I don't know what happened. One day he became a monk, and according to him, in the temple, he eats delicious food, drinks spicy food, and even wears cassocks inlaid with gold, and in fact he doesn’t even know the words in the Buddhist scriptures!”

There were also people who were angry and did not dare to speak out, "The masters of Fuyun Temple have profound Dharma and compassion. How could they do such evil things? They must have been framed by thieves! Maybe it is the conspiracy of the Patriarch Han... "

Someone covered the speaker's mouth, "You are crazy! Don't drag us if you want to die, go home and say it yourself, and no one will care about you if you are approached by officers and soldiers! Open your eyes and see, who owns Fuzhou City now!"

There were also people who could understand, and murmured softly: "The world is in chaos now, and the seat under the emperor's buttocks may be replaced one day. The Han family is about to riot!"

"If you want me to say, nowadays the world is full of heroes, and the four sides respond. The Han family in Fuzhou is supported by the whole family of the Han family. I don't need to say what the Han family is. Everyone knows that it is Han Bancheng! With the existence of Shen Wansan and the Shen family, the Han family is rich in the entire southeast, and the Han family has rebelled, so there may not be no power to compete in this world."

"Leaving aside the Han family, the head of the Han family is also a very talented man. It is said that he is nine feet tall, tall and handsome, can sweep dozens of people with a long spear, and is capable of martial arts. He is Li Shufu and Li Daru. The disciple of the closed door, who has never had a reputation for violence and misconduct, instead took in refugees from the north in Le County. More importantly, when Emperor Xu called, all the officers and soldiers were defeated and fled. He was the one who brought the Han family. The family soldiers repelled the Xiang army and rescued the people of Fuzhou. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely be a hundred times better than the foreign emperor sitting on the throne..."

Because of Han Ji's fury of thunder and the large-scale cleansing in Fuzhou and surrounding counties this time, the people discussed in private, with different opinions. Some people supported the Han family's rebellion, and of course there were those who opposed it, but they were deterred by the power of the Han family and Fuzhou today The city is under Han Ji's control, at least no one dares to make a show on the surface, especially those with evil intentions, who are even more quiet at this moment.

Today, it was snowing heavily and it was clear at the beginning of the day. In the west courtyard, in a small courtyard that was smaller than the main house but more delicate, several cold plum blossoms proudly bloomed on the branches. The owner of this courtyard can enjoy the best snow scene through the windows. Not only the shape of the plum tree in this courtyard has been meticulously pruned, but even the snow on the ground is cleaned every day, so it is clean and free from any dust.

Xie Shi was assassinated in the busy city that day, and he was stabbed several times all over his body. Han Ji's black robe was stained with blood. Even Mrs. Han who heard the news was too frightened to speak.

Perhaps Xie Shi's life was undeserved. Fortunately, the assassin's dagger did not touch his heart, head and other fatal parts. However, due to excessive blood loss and wound infection, Xie Shi had a high fever for two days. In this era, there is no anti-inflammatory drug In such a situation, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Xie Shi can only get through it by himself, if he gets through it, he can live, if he can't get through it, he can't wake up again.

But Han Ji was unwilling to hand over Xie Shi's life to God, so he ordered people to post notices throughout the city, offering a reward of 10 taels of gold and high salary for high-ranking officials only for an effective antipyretic. , people who didn't know thought that something happened to the Patriarch of the Han family himself, and he was in danger.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards, but these people who come here for rewards and official positions are all people who try their luck with earthen prescriptions. You don’t have to thank them for trying the medicine, and the family doctors of the Han family can basically conclude that Those are all invalid prescriptions and medicinal materials, and some are even just crooked methods that have no medicinal effect.

During those two days, Han Jiyi was puzzled, and Yebu closed his eyes to take care of Xie Shi. Seeing Xie Shi develop from talking nonsense to unconsciousness, Han Ji's expression could no longer be described in terms of whether it was good or not. Cen Yu even felt that His master had already fallen into a daze, he did not allow everyone including them and his subordinates to approach Xie Shi, and even did not say a word all day long, as if he and Xie Shi were the only two in the whole world.

In the past, Cen Yu only had some vague guesses about the relationship between the two of them, but it was too shocking and he didn't say it out loud, but seeing this situation now, it is unnecessary to say what kind of feelings the master has for Xie Shi.It's just that I don't know whether my master didn't understand the true feelings in his heart until this time, or he already knew it.

On that day, Cen Yu and his colleagues, who were enlightened, walked out of the West Courtyard and looked at the white snow that seemed to wash away the whole world. They asked in their hearts, has there been such a heavy snowfall in Fuzhou in winter in previous years?Or is it because of the existence of the son who is as crystal clear as snow and whose eyes light up when it snows?Even the snow has become a matter of concern and joy.

Cen Yu exhaled heavily, feeling his throat was choked, and his heart was full of grief, not only because his best friend was dying, but also because of the special friendship between the two who might never have a chance.

On that day, when they walked out of the gate of the west courtyard, several colleagues had no desire to communicate, and each hurried away separately, trying their best to investigate the matter and find the murderer behind it.Everyone knew that if the person on the bed couldn't wake up, then there would be a storm that no one could withstand.

Everything was so coincidental, and that afternoon, Cen Yu, who was in charge of military supply dispatch and searched for information outside for a day, had just gotten off the carriage when he was stopped by the servants of Mr. Shen who had just met a few days ago. It was this young master of the Shen family who offered the fever-reducing medicine he had accidentally obtained from overseas, and saved Xie Shi's life, as well as everyone else's life...
