"Everyone, since my mother is ill in bed, I'll take my leave now!"
The magistrate of Huayang County could no longer sit still after hearing the rebellious words of the two family heads Chen and Wu.
I just want to take a shortcut in my career, not in life!
As Huayang County Magistrate took the lead, several panicked officials stood up and said, "That's right! Zhuo Jing is pregnant with Liujia, I have to rush back to take care of her!"
"It's absolutely true, my wife is going to have a baby too!"
Everyone just wants to succeed, not face the sea, land and air.
Luring thieves into the city, attacking and killing the imperial envoys... they didn't dare to think about it.
A small group of people also participated in the previous ambush of Yang Qingyuan, but the nature of the two incidents was different.
That was all done by bandits. Master Yang Qingyuan would inevitably encounter various dangers when walking alone on the mountain road.
But now we are trying to lure thieves into the city and encourage local troops to garrison. What is the difference between this and raising flags to rebel? !
If he makes a mistake and fails to succeed, then Yang Qingyuan, the deposed envoy of Yizhou, will immediately become the Jiedushi envoy of Yizhou, from patrolling the sky to leading the army to quell the rebellion.
However, after all the words have been said, how could the head of the Chen and Wu families let people leave so easily?
If the news leaks out, they won't even have a chance to make this last-ditch effort!
"Lieutenant Zhang, is your lady giving birth tonight?!"
Obviously, Zhang Xianwei was caught off guard by this question from the head of the Chen family, "Yes?!"
Compared with the hermaphrodite Chen Family Patriarch, Wu Family Patriarch is obviously more direct and rough, "Liu Jiaoyu, why is your wife giving birth tonight?"
The head of the Chen family looked at the two of them with disdain. Zhang Xianwei was fifty-three years old this year, and Liu Jiaoyu was nearly sixty years old. How could their wives still give birth? !
"What a coincidence!"
"Yes! Hahaha, what a coincidence!"
Liu Jiaoyu and Zhang Xianwei looked at each other and could only laugh.
Zhang County Lieutenant scolded Liu Jiaoyu half to death in his heart, couldn't he even think of an excuse? Come and copy mine!
"You two have the same wife?!"
"Yes... no, our wives gave birth to children on the same day..."
The head of the Wu family suppressed his anger and looked at the Huayang County Magistrate who first proposed to leave.
"Zheng County Cheng, is your father's illness serious?!"
Zheng Xian Cheng pretended to be sad and said, "Jia Ci is seriously ill and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for long! As a human son, I should fulfill my filial piety before my sick bed."
The head of the Wu family can no longer hold back his anger. Why didn't you say anything just now? Now I'm going to raise an army. You tell me that your mother is dying!
Just when he was about to have an attack, the head of the Chen family on the side spoke.
"Hey, Brother Wu, Zheng County Cheng's filial piety is really touching! We might as well fulfill him."
The head of the Wu family doesn't understand. What time of year does it matter whether he is filial or not?
"Come here, send Prime Minister Zheng on his way!" He also warned Prime Minister Zheng, "Be careful on the road!"
"Thank you both for your understanding,..." Zheng Xiancheng said halfway, feeling that things were not that simple.
On the road, on what road? !
Before he could ask any questions, the head of the Chen family glanced at everyone in the room.
"Zheng County Cheng's filial piety is commendable, but his mother has been saved by medicine and stone. Why not let him go down and do something for his mother first?"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng County Cheng suddenly panicked.
"I……"
But he didn't have a chance to say the next words. Two servants with violent faces rushed into the room, captured him, stuffed his mouth with a towel, and dragged him out of the house.
Everyone can predict his fate!
Now everyone is panicking!
"Two family heads, why are you doing this?"
In response to everyone's panic, the head of the Wu family was expressionless, while the head of the Chen family was smiling.
"Everyone, Master Wu and I have no other intentions. It's just that what we are planning today is of great importance. In order to prevent leaks, we have adopted more drastic measures. You should all understand!"
I can understand...what a ghost!
This wave has been forced to the extreme!
At this time, a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard stood up and said, "In the opinion of the two family heads, what should we do now?!"
After the head of the Chen family smiled, he clapped his hands, and a tall man handed over a white jade bottle.
"I have prepared a bottle of elixir to nourish the body for everyone. This medicine is made from rare medicinal materials such as leopard fetus, deer fetus, purple river cart, seal kidney and so on. It is called leopard Taiyijin Pills.
After taking it, it can strengthen the body, and people who practice martial arts can also increase their skills. Each of you can take one pill, and after taking it, we can continue chatting! "
Everyone was silent. Although they didn't know what this medicine was, it was definitely not just a tonic like the head of the Chen family said.
The middle-aged man with a beautiful beard continued to ask questions on behalf of everyone, although they already had answers in their hearts.
"If you want to refuse our kindness, it's not impossible...but after you refuse, you can only stay with Zheng County Cheng!"
Eat or die, you can only choose one of the two paths.
This actually means that there is no choice. After eating, life and death will be in the hands of the Chen family master. If you don't eat, you will die now!
This poison is obviously not instantaneous. Everyone here doesn't know one or two famous doctors. If you go back and think of a way, you have a good chance of unblocking this unknown poison.
Although the people present could not be said to be highly intelligent, they were all shrewd people and made their decision immediately.
One of them was the first to take the poison, and not long after, he felt a hot breath rising from his belly, slowly following the blood flow, and spreading into his limbs and bones, making him feel indescribably comfortable.
This thing doesn't really seem like poison...
After the first person arrived, the remaining people also took the elixir in the jade bottle and drank it.
After everyone took the poison, the head of the Wu family also took out a piece of paper that had been prepared long ago.
"Everyone, here is a certificate of nomination. As long as you sign it! Then you will be one of our own."
Patriarch Chen was prepared, and Patriarch Wu naturally could not admit defeat.
But unlike taking poison, almost everyone hesitated when signing.
The consequences of taking Leopard Yijin Pills are all your own responsibility, but signing this name will implicate the entire family!
Conspiracy and rebellion are a major crime for the Yi tribe.
"Master Wu, I'm sorry! Although I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but for my own life, I will implicate the entire family. I will not do such a thing."
The voice of the middle-aged man who spoke was a little trembling. These people could fight against the imperial court for the sake of their family, and they were sincere in protecting their family.
"Please also ask the head of the Wu family to give me three feet of white silk!"
As the first person came forward, two more people came forward.
Only eleven people passed through this room, representing eleven gentry families in the Shu capital.
Take out the Chen and Wu families, and there are nine families left. Take away Zheng County Cheng, who was cut off, and there are eight families left. After removing these three who are unwilling to cooperate, there are only five families left.
The middle-aged man with a beautiful beard also wanted to imitate the previous ones, but after thinking about it, he endured it and signed the certificate.
"Okay! Everyone here is ours! Then we can discuss the plan for tomorrow night!"
The head of the Chen family was the first to say, "I have contacted bandits in various places and promised to pay him a lot of money afterwards. These people are cruel, ignorant and greedy, so it is not difficult to convince them."
After speaking, he looked at the head of the Wu family. The Wu family had considerable influence in the military garrison in Shudu Mansion.
The most important thing for tomorrow night's operation is to have someone inside open the city gate. Otherwise, the bandits, no matter how many in number they are, will not be able to break through the city gate of Shu Capital.
Therefore, the final success or failure still depends on the Wu family.
"I will arrange for the city gate captain to use five dog barks as a signal that night to open the city gate and welcome the bandits into the city."
"Our family is responsible for the public security management in the north of the city. I will let all those who work on duty go to bed early that night to prevent alerting the patrolling soldiers and horses..."
"us……"
…
With everyone talking to each other, a semblance of a plan is taking shape.
That's how it is with things like rebellion. The more you discuss it, the more superior you become, and the more superior you become, the more confident you become.
Inside the house, all parties have begun to distribute the benefits of victory.
After the Chen and Wu families succeeded, the first thing they had to do was to deal with Li Changdeng, the man who had been weighing on them.
A foreigner has become the biggest local tycoon in Yizhou. Isn't this a joke? !
…
----------------------------------
That night, the imperial envoy was on his way.
"Yang Marquis, I have no choice but to do it! Chen and Wu used poison to force me to sign the petition. I have no intention of disobeying the imperial court, and I have no intention of treason against Marquis Yang. heart of."
This man has a beautiful beard, which is exactly the contemporary aesthetic standard for middle-aged people.
"Master Xu, please stand up!" Yang Qingyuan motioned to the guards on the side to help up this figure who was the benchmark figure of the Xu family in Shu.
The pushing officer, ranking second to the general judge and the secretary, is responsible for the prosecution of prison lawsuits and takes turns to judge cases on different days.
"The information you mentioned is very important. I will consider you guilty and meritorious service!"
After hearing this, Xu Tuiguan thanked Yang Qingyuan again.
Yang Qingyuan also investigated Xu Tuiguan's crime, but it was not a big deal. However, the disciples of his Xu family committed crimes and annexed land, which was an unpardonable crime. In the patriarchal system, Xu Tuiguan, the head of the family, was naturally a serious sin.
But Yang Qingyuan had no intention of pursuing this matter. Although all the wealthy gentry in Yizhou had committed violations of law and discipline, it was impossible for Yang Qingyuan to kill everyone.
Cut off the rotten flesh that cannot be cured, squeeze out the pus from the pustules, and apply ointment.
This is the way to govern!
Governing a place is not about punishing and convicting people, and it cannot be just about black and white. What's more important is to ensure the stability of the place.
"Although you have made some mistakes during your term of office, compared to other corrupt officials, they are not serious mistakes." Yang Qingyuan paused, "Let's do this! In this year's plan, your evaluation is inferior. No promotion will be allowed within five years.”
"In addition, any wrongdoers in the family will be brought to justice by the government. The land they occupied will be returned to the owner and compensated for the owner's losses. In addition, the Xu family gave 80,000 taels of silver to pave the way for water conservancy and bridge construction in Shudu County."
Xu Tuiguan was overjoyed when he heard this. Yang Qingyuan's punishment was not light. He is not allowed to be promoted within five years. At his age, his career in this life will end here; and 80,000 taels of silver is also a big fortune for the Xu family; those who break the law and cause trouble in the family are also punished by the government. If he is arrested, the clan will lose face.
It seemed that his efforts were of no benefit.
But Xu Tuiguan knew that the Xu family was saved!
If Yang Qingyuan wanted to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, there would be no need for the Xu family to pay a fine, nor would there be any need to arrest those who violated the law. When the family was confiscated, it would be solved together, so why would there be such a need for so much trouble? !
"You just said you were poisoned?!"
"Yes... right!" Speaking of this, Xu Tuiguan was a little unsure.
But the problem was that after he took Baotai Yijin Pills, there was no abnormality. Instead, he felt much more energetic.
Yang Qingyuan cast a surprised look. Xu Tuiguan recounted his previous feelings, and Yang Qingyuan also became interested.
"If Mr. Xu doesn't mind, then let me diagnose Mr. Xu's pulse."
A look of surprise appeared on Xu Tuiguan's face, "Yang Hou is also proficient in the art of Qi Huang?"
"I understand a little, I understand a little!"
Yang Qingyuan is modest in his mouth, reserved in his face, and proud in his heart.
Since ancient times, there has been no separation between medicine and martial arts. At this level, his understanding of the human body has surpassed that of most doctors.
And he once followed the medicine king Sun Shichang.
As far as the current Dazhou Xinglin national players are concerned, Sun Shichang is considered to be at level T0, Wan Mizhai and Li Binhu are at level T1, and Yang Qingyuan's level is second only to them at level T2. This level is already better than most famous doctors in the world.
After closing Xu Tuiguan's pulse gate, a ray of true energy traveled through the meridians throughout his body.
"It turned out to be this damn thing."
Hearing what Yang Qingyuan said, Xu Tuiguan immediately became happy.
Being able to recognize it means that the poison can most likely be cured!
What are you most afraid of during medical consultation? What I was most afraid of was that the doctor kept his eyebrows downcast, took the pulse for a long time without saying a word, and then started to turn the pages of the book.
After flipping through the book for a long time, I closed it and told you that this medical book has one more page, thanks to your disease.
"Yang Hou, what kind of poison did that turtle son of the Chen family poison!"
Yang Qingyuan thought about it for a while and said, "To a certain extent, this Leopard Ti Yijin Pill! It is indeed not a poison. It is just because the person who made the medicine cannot control its properties that it becomes highly poisonous."
"The properties and effects of this medicine are not easy to follow. The properties of the medicine are obviously to reverse the original characteristics of the body. Within one year of taking this medicine, it can make people strong and healthy. However, if the medicine is not taken for one year, it will not be cured. Medicine, in which extremely powerful toxicity occurs. For example, fat people will become skinny, tall people will become short...the process is extremely painful..."
Yang Qingyuan suddenly thought of a question. If this human medicine was given to people who were originally short in height, wouldn't it have the effect of increasing their height?
Naturally, Xu Tuiguan didn't know what Yang Qingyuan was thinking, so he asked nervously, "Yang Hou, can my poison be cured?"
"It can be solved! Don't worry!"
After Yang Qingyuan comforted Xu Tuiguan, he was secretly sent back to his house.
While cleaning up the local corrupt forces, they were also able to eliminate a large number of bandits. This was an unexpected gain that Yang Qingyuan did not expect.
This is a gift of a head that comes all the way and a double buff. The heads of the Chen and Wu families are all great contributors!
He had prepared everything a long time ago. Even if Xu Tuiguan did not come here tonight, it would not have much impact on the overall situation.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
