When Su Qiao heard Gao Yuan's words, he became furious.
Miscellaneous family?
This is a dog eunuch!
Scholars in Daqian were always hostile to eunuchs. Scholars talked about mysteries to be elegant, scholars were different from others, formed cliques to exchange experiences, and Su Qiao also regarded himself as a scholar.
The Su family was a famous family, and their grandnephew Su Wei was posthumously awarded the posthumous title of Grand Governor and Zhuang Marquis of Jingzhou by the emperor.
With such a status, how could he kneel down to a dog eunuch?
Su Qiao stared at Gao Yuan who walked in. He stood up with crutches and said loudly, "You are so bold to lead people to break into Su's house."
"When did this Daqian eunuch dare to be so strong?"
"Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, have you forgotten?"
"The Su family is not an aristocratic family, but it is not something that cats and dogs can bully. If my father-in-law is so overbearing, I can only report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to give an explanation to the Su family."
Su Qiao looked confident and confident. People who didn't know it would have thought that he had some outstanding status that allowed him to directly meet the emperor.
"Hahaha……"
Gao Yuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
The laughter was even more disdainful.
Su Qiao was laughed at in public and lost the face of the old patriarch. She scolded with a cold face: "Why are you laughing?"
Gao Yuan was always deep in thought, but now he was amused by Su Qiao's words. Instead, he became interested and said sarcastically: "The reason why the Zajia family is laughing is because you keep saying that you want to report to His Majesty. You are an ignorant old man from the countryside, an old bastard, and an old fool." , how to report to His Majesty?"
Su Qiao said angrily: "You..."
"What are you?"
Gao Yuan smiled coldly and continued: "Is it possible that you turned to Su Wei's widow Huang for help? A group of you went to Su's family aggressively to commit crimes. You wanted to exterminate the family and take away all Su Wei's property. , ugly and repulsive. Now, isn’t it embarrassing to turn to Huang for help? Isn’t it embarrassing?”
brush!
Su Qiao's expression changed slightly.
Eat extremely well!
That's too ugly to say.
Seeing that eunuch Gao Yuan knew some inside information, Su Qiao felt solemn in his heart and did not dare to act recklessly. He said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you are talking about. You are not welcome in my Su family. Please come back."
Gao Yuan said in a deep voice: "The Zajia family is here. How can we go back if we don't take care of some people? How can we report to His Majesty? What's more, the Zajia family came under His Majesty's orders. How can we leave if we don't carry out His Majesty's orders?"
boom!
Su Qiao's heart was shaken, as if thunder exploded in his head, and he was a little confused.
Was the eunuch arranged by the emperor?
Why would the emperor think of the Su family?
Su Qiao didn't think that the emperor arranged for people to come to Sujia Village to take care of the Su family. If the emperor wanted to take care of him, the eunuch's attitude would not be so bad, and it would definitely be detrimental to the Su family.
Su Qiao tightened his hold on the crutch and asked, "Your Majesty has arranged for the father-in-law to come. What can you do?"
Gao Yuan's eyes were cold and he said loudly: "Your Majesty ordered that anyone who went to the Su family to cause trouble today will be punished with twenty canes."
Wow! !
It was like a pot was exploding in the ancestral hall.
Everyone in the Su family was stunned. Su Qiao was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still.
Su Yuan and the other sixteen old and middle-aged people who went to Su's house all changed their faces. They were scared from the bottom of their hearts and regretted it even more.
They went to find the Huang family, and they really wanted to wipe out the family. They wanted to dig up the foundation of Su Wei's line bit by bit, and bring all the land and shops of Su Wei's line under clan management, so that they could enrich their own pockets and be able to Profit from it.
Unexpectedly, the emperor paid attention to this matter.
Su Qiao thought that he was already seventy and eighty years old and had received twenty military sticks. He was afraid that he would die on the spot and could never get up again. He quickly said: "Father, I am already seventy and sixty-six years old. I am afraid that I will be overwhelmed."
The other six old men also begged for mercy. They all relied on their old age and said that they were sixty or seventy years old and could not bear the beating.
Su Yuan and other young people also kept talking.
I don't want to be beaten either inside or outside my words.
Gao Yuan is not a womanly person like Huang, his methods are softer and not ruthless enough. Gao Yuan didn't care about the life and death of these unrelated people. He just said coldly: "Don't you want to be beaten? That's fine. If your majesty says that if you don't want to be beaten, the whole family will be taken away and they will all be imprisoned for questioning."
Su Qiao, Su Yuan and others were even more afraid.
The bones are starting to soften.
Su Qiao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Father, please spare my life."
Su Yuan also knelt down and begged for mercy: "Father-in-law, we know we were wrong, and we beg you to forgive me. Please rest assured that we will never disturb Mr. Huang again, and we will never offend you again."
Others begged for mercy.
Gao Yuan looked indifferent and ignored him at all. He ordered the accompanying Dongchang personnel to drag all seventeen people including Su Qiao and Su Yuan outside the ancestral hall like dead dogs.
The open area outside the ancestral hall was already crowded with people. They were all people from Sujia Village and came from an ancestor.
After hundreds of years of inheritance, although they are still a big family, their bloodline has long been estranged. They can only be said to be one clan, and countless people have left the fifth server.
Gao Yuan looked around at the gathered Su family and told the story of Su Qiao and his men bullying Huang's orphans and widowers. He also talked about Zhao Shan's treatment, and ordered: "Come here, execution!"
The order was issued and the people in Dongchang executed him immediately.
boom! boom! boom! ! !
The continuous crashing sounds echoed inside and outside the ancestral hall, and were clearly heard by all the Su family members.
Screams echoed in the air.
Each and every one of the Su family members wailed in pain.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to..."
Su Qiao wailed miserably, looked in the direction of Gaoyuan, and said loudly: "My father-in-law, please... ah..."
Another shrill scream came from Su Qiao's mouth.
Su Qiao's eyes widened for a moment, she vomited blood, and her body became stiff. The next moment, her neck crooked and she was on the ground, her breath gone.
"The old lady is dead!"
Someone in the crowd of onlookers shouted, and they all looked horrified when they discovered that Su Qiao had been beaten to death.
After Gao Yuan saw it, he continued: "Keep fighting, even if you die, I will beat you with twenty military sticks. Beat the other people hard and with all your heart. A group of people are eating Su Wei and leaning on Su Wei, and they are all eaten in the blink of an eye. He really deserves to be killed.”
Gao Yuan's instructions were passed down, and the executioners in the East Factory went all out.
Twenty military batons came down, and all seven old miscellaneous members of the Su family, including Su Qiao, were beaten to death. Su Yuan, a young and strong man, was beaten to the point of being paralyzed and completely passed out. The other ten people who followed to bully the Su family were also directly beaten to death.
None of them are intact, and these people will never stand and walk in their lifetime.
Gao Yuan didn't care about the life and death of these people.
Just deal with it ruthlessly.
After Gao Yuan dealt with it, he ignored the screaming and wailing Huang family, looked at all the other Su family members again, and said coldly: "Su Wei is dead, but His Majesty is always thinking about him."
"Su Wei's son Su Qi has also been transferred to the Yulin Army as a Yulin Lang to work with His Majesty."
"You Su family members, please take care of yourself and don't make the same mistake again."
"let's go!"
Gao Yuan ordered.
Outside the Su Family Ancestral Hall, countless villagers in Su Family Village understood that it was people like Su Qiao and Su Yuan who were not human beings and wanted to usurp other people's interests.
So much so that he angered the emperor.
Damn it!
These people are so damned!
"Su Qiao, you die well. You, an old bastard, are indiscriminate in front of the clan leader and instead repay kindness with hatred. You really deserve to die."
Someone from Sujiacun shouted.
As soon as these words came out, countless people shouted, not only scolding Su Qiao, but also Su Yuan and others.
There will never be a vacuum of power. Even in a village the size of a sesame seed, there will still be struggles for power, and there will still be battles and worldly relationships.
Just like this, after Su Qiao's death and Su Yuan's beating until he was paralyzed and passed out, other Su family members began to become more alive and stood up to fight for the right to speak.
Gao Yuan walked some distance away and heard the sound of arguments coming from the village, with a faint smile on his lips.
He doesn't care about the dispute in Sujiacun.
From now on, people in Sujia Village will know that Su Wei's lineage cannot be provoked, and there will be big trouble if he does.
Gao Yuan led the people all the way back to the city and straight back to the military camp in the city.
Gao Yuan entered the Chinese army's tent, bowed to Zhao Shan and saluted: "Slave Gao Yuan, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Pingshen!"
After Gao Yuan stood up, he quickly said: "I went to the Su family ancestral hall and carried out His Majesty's order. After twenty army sticks, Su Qiao and other seven old guys were beaten to death, and the others were all lame."
"In the current Su family, because Su Qiao and other old guys were beaten to death with a cane, there is a vacancy in the power in the village, and everyone is fighting for it."
"After this incident, no one will make trouble again."
Gao Yuan said solemnly: "There are people in Dongchang in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and I have also ordered local Dongchang personnel to keep an eye on the situation of the Su family. Once someone goes to the Su family to cause trouble, they will help deal with it."
Zhao Shan nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "You did a great job, go and get busy."
"Slave, please retire."
Gao Yuan bowed respectfully. He was going to wrap up the affairs in Jingzhou and go to Yangzhou to take charge of the affairs of the East Factory.
Zhao Shan settled Su Wei's matter and said, "Whoever comes, please inform Qi Yuanjing to come and discuss the matter."
The soldiers went to inform him, and not long after, Qi Yuanjing entered the Chinese army's tent.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Yuan Jing, the matter of Su Wei in Jingzhou has been resolved. Spring will start in February soon. Your army will go with me to fight in Yangzhou. After you leave, someone in Jingzhou must take charge of government affairs, and the right person must be selected." As the governor of Jingzhou, do you have anyone to recommend?"
After all, Qi Yuanjing had a family background and knew how not to interfere in personnel arrangements. He said: "The choice of Jingzhou governor is entirely up to your Majesty."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "But it doesn't matter."
Qi Yuanjing heard Zhao Shan's unquestionable meaning and took the initiative: "Your Majesty wants to arrange someone to be the governor of Jingzhou, and I have a candidate. This person's name is Ji Nanfeng, a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou. He is quite talented and can be qualified to be the governor of Jingzhou."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Tell me about Ji Nanfeng's situation."
Qi Yuanjing explained: "Your Majesty, Ji Nanfeng is a Jingzhou scholar, and he is incompatible with the former Jingzhou scholars. Because of the chaos in the world and the collapse of the Great Wall, the scholars lost their pursuits and beliefs, and like He likes to talk casually, likes to be casual, and is all kinds of unconventional."
"Only Ji Nanfeng doesn't fit in with others."
"This man advocates pragmatism and truth-seeking. He would rather work on the fields than talk to the scholars in Jingzhou. He would rather talk about the harvest of crops with the old farmers in the countryside than talk to them."
"Ji Nanfeng is now in his fifties and has reached a certain age."
"When he was young, he served as an assistant in Xiangyang County. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the county magistrate. Later, there was civil strife in Xiangyang, Jingzhou. Ji Nanfeng led his people to fight the enemy bravely. After his meritorious service, he was sent to Changsha, Jingzhou as the prefect. Served as governor of Jing."
"Later, the barbarians in Wuling County rebelled, and he served as the prefect of Wuling County to quell the rebellion. Unfortunately, he was able to do things, but the credit went to others. After the matter was resolved, he was dismissed."
"Even so, Ji Nanfeng is dedicated to doing things whenever he has the opportunity."
Qi Yuanjing also had a touch of admiration on his face and said: "Now in the governor's office in Jingzhou, some of the assistant officials are Ji Nanfeng's disciples."
Zhao Shan's eyes suddenly brightened.
This is talent.
When the world is in chaos, there are always countless internal conflicts among the parties. Everyone fights internally and outsiders are outsiders. There are also countless people who can't find a direction and are scattered. They have nowhere to rely on and can only talk, and they can only talk about Taoism and Buddhism.
Even so, among the tens of millions of people in the Central Plains of China, there are always some people who always stick to it and move forward with their own beliefs in life.
There is no doubt that Ji Nanfeng is such a person.
Zhao Shan became interested and asked: "If there is such a great sage, why don't you invite him out?"
