Chapter 165 Not good! (Second update)
Yao Guangxiao lowered his head and said nothing.
He could see that Zhu Di had changed a bit.
The impetuous King Yan became a little more courageous and decisive.
There are also more choices.
Although in his opinion, Zhu Di's approach was a bit excessive. Even if he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and deter the army, he could have used a better method instead of stabbing him to the end with such a stick. But today's King Yan is indeed better than in the past. King Yan is better.
He will not stop it.
Yao Guang Xiao said: "Since His Highness has made a decision, the poor monk should take His Highness as the leader."
Zhu Di nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "Let's go to Qiu If I go to the Fu family, I’m afraid he will still blame me privately.”
Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly.
The monarch and his ministers walked towards Qiu Fu's house, one behind the other.
Beiping City.
As Zhang Yu and Zhu Liang took action, the whole of Peiping fell into a panic and uneasiness. A large number of soldiers and horses moved around, a large number of powerful officials were arrested. The whole of Peiping was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger.
The hustle and bustle in the city did not affect the east of the city.
It is noon.
The lights in Qiu Mansion were still bright.
Even though the sun was shining brightly, illuminating the entire courtyard, the candles in Qiu Mansion were still on.
Study.
It is said to be a study room, but it is actually a weapons room.
There are not many books inside, but there are a lot of weapons piled up.
There are long knives, long spears, and firecrackers.
These weapons have been used by Qiu Fu for decades in battles. Now they are regarded as family heirlooms by him and displayed in the study. His purpose is very simple, so that when the children of his Qiu family enter, Everyone can see it in the study, and everyone can always know how much Qiu Fu has paid to get to where he is today, and how much contribution he has made.
Nothing comes easy.
The light in the study room was still on. Qiu Fu touched a rusty spear, reached for the gray cloth on the side, wiped it hard on the body of the spear, and then turned his eyes He placed it on the tip of the spear and wiped it carefully, as if to appease his sweetheart.
It’s just that his eyes are a little distant.
Summer white.
The iron-blooded military order of King Yan.
Qiu Fu knows that he is not clean and self-sufficient, and he is also a bit greedy in private. He has always been careful and has not been noticed by others. However, he is careful in doing things, but other people in the family are not so careful. Son.
His sons, father-in-law, etc. often used his banner to do evil outside.
He knows all this.
But he didn't stop him, and even helped a lot secretly.
He was a poor peasant back then. He was so poor that it was impossible to ask for a wife. If his wife had not insisted on marrying him, and even threatened her with death, he would have been a bachelor for the rest of his life. Therefore, he respected this wife very much. of.
As he has made many military exploits over the years, he has become more valued by His Highness King Yan, and his status has also increased. His father-in-law's family has also changed their attitude towards him, becoming respectful and even a little flattering, and he Remembering the couple's relationship for many years, they didn't say anything about my father-in-law's dislike back then.
The whole family is happy and happy.
It’s just that his father-in-law is a very philistine.
After falling in love with him, he used his identity to walk around the city, often stealing other people's things.
Now His Highness wants to clear up the corruption in the army.
He will definitely be found out.
Although he knows that his father-in-law did something wrong and his son’s hands and feet are not clean, he still has to protect it because this is his family. If he can’t protect his own family, he will not be able to protect his son in the future. How to gain a foothold in the military?
“Alas.”
"Why did it become like this?"
Qiu Fu's cheeks turned red and he sighed helplessly.
Bringing his thoughts back, Qiu Fu thought about how to get out of this whirlpool.
On the one hand, we must travel more with other generals to suppress these scandals in our own family, at least not to make them too big. On the other hand, we must deal with the merchants and military attachés who are involved with our family. Clear them all.
Lest these people create trouble and threaten you in the future.
At most, give me more money and food.
At least you must save your father-in-law and your own son.
Thinking like this, Qiu Fu felt at ease. He put the cleaned spear back on the shelf and was about to go out for a walk.
"Master, Master"
At this moment, there was a rustling of footsteps outside the door.
The footsteps were chaotic, and the person speaking was a bit anxious.
This is the servant bought by Qiu Mansion.
Qiu Fu opened the door and frowned: "Why are you so worried?"
A servant who was out of breath, did not bother to breathe evenly, and said quickly: "Master, something happened, something big happened. Guards Zhang Qianhu and Zhu Zhong are leading a large team of people to arrest people in the city. Before the young one came to report, they had already arrested nearly a hundred people."
< br>“They also arrested my father-in-law.”
"What?" Qiu Fu's face changed drastically and he said sternly: "Zhang Yu and the others dare to do this? Who gave them the courage to arrest even my father-in-law? Do they really not give me, Qiu Fu, any face?" < br>
“That’s unreasonable!”
Qiu Fu was furious.
He had already guessed that Zhang Yu and others would arrest people.
Since His Highness King Yan was serious about it and named his name for a thorough investigation, it was natural that he would take action and something would happen to someone. However, he never expected that Zhang Yu and others would be so ruthless. Even their father-in-law is not spared. Do they really don’t know their father-in-law?
This is absolutely impossible?
He does not have much friendship with Zhang Yu.
After all, Zhang Yu used to be a minister of the old Yuan Dynasty, and he was killed in Wei Mo. The two of them were not close friends, so naturally they had very few interactions, but they usually didn't see each other when they looked down. You should save some face and friendship. How can one do things like Zhang Yu's? !
Qiu Fu's face was solemn, with a bit of annoyance. He knew that he had to stop it as soon as possible. If his father-in-law was escorted in front of His Highness by Zhang Yu, even if he came to plead for mercy, he might It’s not too good to miss too much.
Qiu Fu said: "Go to Li Qianhu's house immediately and tell him briefly about the matter."
"He knows what to do."
But the next moment.
The servant trembled and said: "Master."
"No, this time Zhang Yuzhuliang is coming menacingly. They seem to be arresting people with a roster. , not only the father-in-law of the master was arrested, but Li Bin Qianhu’s brother-in-law was also arrested. In addition, many military attachés also suffered. "
"This time things are different from before."
Hiss!
Qiu Fu trembled, and his expression suddenly changed.
“What?!”
“Zhang Yu also attacked Li Bin?”
In a moment of thought.
Qiu Fu couldn't stand at all.
He knew something was wrong. Normally, even if there was something wrong with them, Zhang Yu and others would probably turn a blind eye. After all, everyone was working under King Yan, and they all knew that the other party was What's the situation? There's no need to kill them all like this.
But this time.
Something happened to my father-in-law.
Li Bin's brother-in-law also had an accident.
A large number of military attachés also suffered, which has an obviously different meaning.
This is what Your Highness means.
Qiu Fu had an ominous premonition that something big would happen today.
He didn't want to stay at home anymore and hurriedly walked out of the house.
He is going to see King Yan.
He is a military commander and a reckless man.
But he is also a direct descendant of King Yan, and the first person to follow Zhu Di. Over the years, the people around Zhu Di have changed one after another, but he is still there, and he has always stood firm. Beside King Yan.
He didn’t believe that King Yan would do anything to him.
There must be a situation.
He doesn't have so much time and energy to investigate now. He needs to see King Yan immediately and tell King Yan these things. He is worried that Zhang Yu and others, through this investigation, want to use this investigation to try to find them, the old people who follow King Yan. Clean it up.
He can't let Zhang Yu's conspiracy succeed.
While Qiu Fu and Li Bin were panicking, some people in the city were panicking.
Ma Wenhua, Yang Wensong and other salt merchants had already anticipated that something bad would happen when they heard that King Yan had taken action. Especially after they heard that Qiu Fu's father-in-law, Li Bin's brother-in-law and others had been arrested, they even Their faces turned pale, and they knew something was wrong, something serious.
If you can't get out, you will definitely die, and it will be the kind of death that will affect your entire family.
But it is obviously unrealistic to go to Qiu Fu and Li Bin for help. They are currently in trouble, so how can they have the energy and thoughts to protect themselves.
That’s it now.
Only one person can protect them.
Summer White!
Ma Wenhua and other salt merchants did not communicate with each other. Before the government caught them, they quickly rushed towards Xia Zhibai's residence with a large number of account books. They walked very quickly, fearing that they would be slower. , was stopped by the government.
In fact, they didn't know whether Xia Zhibai could save themselves.
But they had no choice.
Qiu Fu, Li Bin and others are too late to save their own families now, so how can they think of saving them? If they don't add insult to injury and kill people, Qiu Fu and others are already sane. How can they dare to put their hope in it? In Qiufu et al.
Xia Zhibai is the number one scholar.
I was able to talk to King Yan again.
He had discussed matters with them before, and if Xia Zhibai opened his mouth, he would at least be able to protect their lives.
This is their only idea at the moment.
As for escaping.
They don’t think about it at all.
There is no escape.
Time was too tight and it happened too quickly.
They didn't even have time to take care of their property, so they only had a little money to spare. Where could they escape?
When Ma Wenhua rushed to Xia Zhibai's residence, Yang Wensong and others happened to arrive. They looked at each other, looked at the account books in each other's arms, and then knocked hard on the house where Xia Zhibai lived. Door.
Soon.
The door opened.
Hei Wa brought these people inside.
Ma Wenhua didn't wait for Xia Zhibai to speak, he knelt down and said: "Sir, these are the account books of my Ma family's past dealings with people from the government, as well as the roster of all the people in my Ma family. Now, please listen to me. I just want you to save the life of my Ma family."
"Sir, you must save us." Yang Wensong's voice was trembling: "Sir, if you don't save us. We are all going to die. This time, His Highness King Yan’s force is so large that even the generals at the Qianhu level in Peiping have moved. Now you are the only one who can save us.”
“Please save us!”
Xia Zhibai's face was expressionless. He reached out to take the account book handed over by Ma Wenhua and opened it briefly.
It is full of the process of collusion between the Ma family and the government.
There is also evidence of guilt of some officials.
