Chapter 371 Helian Haixin
"Helian Haixin?" The emperor frowned and repeated.
Tan Shui Qing bowed and responded: "Exactly!"
"But the Helian family that Tutor mentioned was destroyed?"
Tan Taibao, who was wearing a black python robe, nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty is aware of this!"
"Since that Yinren Village, oh, Yinren Town was established after the Helian family's Tiexin Village was destroyed, what else can we find out if we let Helian Haixin go?" The emperor sat at the top and asked with some doubts. asked.
Tanshui Qing still lowered his head and continued: "It is precisely because the Helian family is related to the Tiexin Village that Helian Haixin will go all out to find out the innocence of Master Huan Ji and Master Lu!"
Ouyang Yun, who was standing in the row of generals opposite, curled his lips slightly but said nothing.
Lu Chen's face became very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu couldn't understand what Mr. Taibao said. Even if the truth is that Ji Shenfu lied, it has nothing to do with me. What Lu just said , just to answer His Majesty’s question, please don’t mix it up with Tan Taibao.”
When the emperor saw that the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao were all involved, he felt that the matter should end here and should not involve too much, otherwise the suspicion of being a spectator would be too obvious. So he coughed lightly and glanced at Geng Zhuoyu, the palm print eunuch beside him.
"In this case, according to the advice of the Taibao, Helian Haixin is ordered to go to Luoye County to thoroughly investigate the remnants of the previous dynasty!"
…
The six major Luo Yun families naturally represent various interest groups, and conflicts with each other are common. And the dispute in the court just now was just the tip of the iceberg.
As the referee of this competition, His Majesty the Emperor's attitude is the direct guide to who can win in this competition.
The strongest among the six major families are the Lu family and the Ouyang family among the "upper three families".
The main reason why the Lu family is called the number one family in Luo Yun Kingdom and can stabilize the Ouyang family is that he successfully won over the Zhang family, who is also a member of the "Shang San Family".
As the first family in the military world, the Ouyang family is naturally closely related to the Tan family among the "Three Lower Families".
Therefore, the Luzhang Party headed by Taishi and the Ouyang Party headed by Taifu and Taibao are the two largest party forces in Luo Yun Kingdom today.
The Geng family, headed by the palm eunuch Geng Zhuoyu, is naturally a staunch lone minister, but this characterful eunuch chief has been maneuvering between the emperor and the Luo Yunzong, which is a bit confusing.
As a result, the Ji family became the only neutral family among the six major families. Naturally, the Lu Zhang Party and the Ouyang Party spared no effort to win over. Today in the court, Lu Chen's words were tantamount to defending the Ji family.
However, in the end, under the pressure of Tan Shui Qing, the head of the Lu family also made an assertion that had nothing to do with it, which was regarded as returning the favor he had just given.
…
Yunxi County, as the second most populous county in Luoyun Kingdom, is also the place with the most prosperous trade in Luoyun Kingdom. It is located in the southern part of Luoyun State, adjacent to Qingchuan County and Luoye County.
This county is located in the lower reaches of Qingchuan County. There are many rivers and lakes, which are the main transportation routes of the four counties. There are many rivers, lakes and court forces in the county. At the same time, Yunxi County is the closest county to Yunxiao Capital.
There are 1.1 million residents in Yunxi County as a whole, which is actually not much different from the 1.2 million residents in Moshang County.
It is precisely because of the developed water transportation in this county that it became the trade capital of Luoyun Kingdom. Along with this, the wealth of the people in this county is also the largest among the four counties of Luoyun.
As the saying goes, "Poor culture and rich military affairs", Yunxi County decided to become the hometown of military families in the future based on its regional characteristics. Here are two of the six great families headed by the Ouyang family and the Tan family, and they all have a profound influence on the military circles of Luoyun Kingdom. And the tough folk customs of its county people are not inferior to the heroic people of Qingchuan County.
"Sir, there is an urgent message from the capital! Yesterday the Holy Father issued a decree that Young Master Hai Xin should go on an errand!" An old man who looked like a housekeeper bowed and said to a middle-aged man.
And this middle-aged man is the current head of the Helian family, named Helian Jing.
To put it into detail, this He Lianjing is also a well-known figure in the world of Luo Yunguo. In his early years, he was good at wielding a sharp sword and was quite famous in Yunxi County. Later, as the head of the Helian family, he naturally inherited the position of the head of the family. After marrying a wife and having children, he did not continue to hone his martial arts.
Fortunately, although He Lianjing was average in strength, he spared no effort in cultivating his heirs! After several generations, in his grandson's generation, an incredible martial arts genius emerged!
And this martial arts genius is Helian Haixin.
"Let Hai Xin go on errands? Is it the Holy Father's will?" He Lianjing asked with a frown.
Although he looks only in his fifties, his actual age is already over sixty years old. This is because of his martial arts cultivation, which, although not very advanced, can delay aging.
The housekeeper nodded and responded, "Yes, the imperial edict has not arrived yet. It is expected to arrive later today. It is the news from above."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"A father-in-law."
"Well...where did Hai Xin go?" He Lianjing pondered for a moment and then asked.
The housekeeper replied in a low voice: "He said he was going to join the Association of Heroes in Tan Mansion."
…………Dividing line…………
In Yunxi County, there is only one Tanfu that can be called Tanfu, which is the residence of Tanshui Qing, the Taibao of the current dynasty.
As one of the Three Dukes and one of the six great families in Luo Yun Kingdom, Tan Mansion also has an energy that cannot be underestimated in the entire Luo Yun Kingdom, and in Yunxi County, it is the presence of the Tu Emperor.
There are two major families in Yunxi County, namely the Ouyang family of the "upper three families" and the Tan family of the "lower three families". To elaborate, the native emperor of Yunxi County should be the Ouyang family. However, as the top being among the "three upper families", Ouyang Yun naturally does not have eyes on Yunxi County. Otherwise, he does not even have such a mind, how can he compete with the Lu family for this Lu family? The location of the first cloud family.
Since then, the Tan family, whose overall strength is second only to the Ouyang family, has naturally become the overlord. However, I am afraid only Ouyang Yun and Tan Shuiqing know what kind of agreement the Tan family and the Ouyang family have reached in secret.
The Tan family's origin is not like other aristocratic families. It has been a wealthy family since the previous dynasty. Through her own efforts, Tan Shuiqing has reached her current position step by step. To say that he didn't use any means, not to mention those officials and noble families, even the common people would not believe it.
This "Yingjie Meeting" is a regular gathering organized by Tan Mansion. The main thing is to gather martial arts masters from all over the world, who are capable people and can be used by them.
And Helian Haixin was naturally a frequent visitor.
"Young Master Helian, the sword you just struck was indeed extremely exquisite. There must not be many knights in the world today who can catch your sword!" A big man with an unshaven beard said with a smile, although this man looked at it with a smile. He looks rough, but his small eyes hidden in his thick beard always sparkle with a hint of cunning.
"Brother Qu is ridiculous. There are many powerful people in the Dacheng Realm in the Xia Xia Realm, but among the masters on the Ping Tian Ranking, I am far behind their level!" A young man with a fair face picked up a glass of wine and drank it. While laughing at himself.
"Oh, Brother Yu is being reckless. Brother, you are a young and talented man. In this realm of chivalrous people, except for those strong men on the Heavenly Ranking List, everyone else will be defeated by my brother!"
…
Just as the two of them were complimenting each other, and the other was responding to each other, a man dressed as a boy walked in.
"Master Helian, Mr. Tan invites you!"
Everyone present was silent for a moment, and then turned their attention to the young man in purple shirt sitting at the top.
Helian Hai was stunned for a moment, then he said hello to the dumbfounded man named Qu beside him, and followed the boy out of the banquet venue.
"Mr. Tan invites you? Oh my god, where does this young man come from?"
"That's right! That is the chief steward of Tan Mansion. Even in Tan Mansion with such a large number of people, he is also a person with real power!"
"I heard that the man who just passed by is the young master of the Helian family!"
"It can't be Helian Haixin, right? I have heard about this person's deeds. If they are true, I think there is no need to make a fuss."
"It turns out to be that terrifying Mr. Hai! Forget it, let's drink, drink!"
…
In this huge banquet hall, when everyone was talking about Helian Haixin's departure, the young man in purple shirt who was the target of the discussion was also taken to a small courtyard.
Looking at the scenery and decorations in this courtyard, it was rare for him to shine.
I saw a rockery and a small pond built in this courtyard. You must know that this kind of small pond is not solved by just letting the craftsmen dig a hole and fill it with water. If it is a pool of stagnant water, mosquitoes will be killed when the weather turns hot. Therefore, it is necessary to build an underdrain to provide a continuous flow of running water to the pond.
In the center of the small pool, there is a small pavilion. It does not look big from a distance and can only accommodate four or five people to lean on the railing and enjoy the scenery. Fortunately, the vegetation in this courtyard is well-proportioned. No matter what season the vegetation is, it will be slightly decorated at the most attractive points.
Soon, Helian Haixin was taken to the pavilion above the pond. There was already someone waiting in the pavilion.
The young man in purple shirt cupped his hands and said, "Junior Helian Haixin has met Mr. Tan!"
The old man who was waiting in the pavilion slowly turned around, looked at the young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "Young Master Hai's name is also well-known in our Yunxi County as a young talent. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary!"
"On the rivers and lakes, it's just passed down from person to person. Hai Xin lives in Tan Mansion and doesn't dare to take such a big name." Helian Haixin replied calmly.
The old man nodded and replied: "If you are not tired of fame and wealth, there are not many people at your age who can see through this!"
The young man smiled and did not answer. He was originally curious as to what the other party wanted him to do here.
Mr. Tan continued to ask: "I heard that you have a distant brother named Helian Tiexin."
Helian Haixin frowned slightly and nodded: "There is indeed such a person, but..."
"Oh? How?" the old man asked, raising his eyebrows.
"This person can be regarded as a branch of my Helian family. Although we are of the same generation, we are very different in age. And I don't have many interactions with him. Every year, when I worship my ancestors, I just say a few words of courtesy." The young man in purple shirt explained slowly.
"So, the relationship between you is not deep, that's good, he has already died!"
Helian Hai was stunned for a moment, then remained silent for a few breaths, and then asked solemnly:
"Mr. Tan, I don't understand the intentions of Tan Mansion."
In fact, we can't blame Helian Haixin for not knowing about this. Originally, Helian Tiexin wanted to be independent after establishing Tiexin Village. Naturally, there is much less contact with this side of the family. The demise of Tiexin Village happened at the beginning of the year. It was almost the end of autumn, and there were still more than two months before the annual ancestor worship, so it made sense that he didn't know.
The old man turned around and sat next to the tea table in the pavilion, raising his hand to signal Helian Haixin to sit down first before talking.
After the two sat down, Mr. Tan said calmly: "Young Master Hai, there is no need to think too much. The matter of Helian Tiexin's death was not directed at Helian's family. It's just that Helian Tiexin was stupid and blocked the way of others, so he was naturally eliminated. Just drop it.”
Hearing what the other party said, the young man was obviously relieved.
"As for today, I invite Mr. Hai to come here for a while. The main thing is to express my congratulations!" The old man raised a cup of tea and raised his hand to signal.
However, the young man in purple shirt had a look of astonishment on his face. He did not raise his glass, but asked curiously: "Why are you so happy? Mr. Tan might as well say it clearly!"
"Yesterday, at the Jinluan Hall, the head of my family personally recommended to the Holy Lord that Mr. Hai was the county magistrate and rushed to Luoye County to thoroughly investigate the annexation of Yinren Village and Tiexin Village." The old man said while cupping his hands, but he was not cupping his hands to Helian Haixin. , but towards the northeast, where the capital of the country is located.
"County patrol?" The young man muttered, then rolled his eyes and cupped his hands and said:
"How should I act in this matter? Please ask Mr. Tan to teach me!" He was obviously a child of an aristocratic family and had known the rules of doing things in this world since he was a child. He asked directly.
When the old man heard this, he stood up directly, cupped his hands and said seriously: "Don't blame Mr. Hai, I was ordered to test before, and only after I learned that your relationship with Helian Tiexin was not secret, I could tell you what happened next. .”
"Please ask Mr. Tan to teach me!" Helian Haixin could only reiterate it again.
The old man nodded and said: "This imperial order requires a thorough investigation of the remnants of the previous dynasty in Luoye County, and if there are any, eliminate them! We will never tolerate it! And..."
"What? A remnant of the previous dynasty?!" the young man asked in disbelief.
For people of his age, the term "remnants of the previous dynasty" has only been seen in history books. Moreover, these remnants are all murderous desperadoes, and have even been organized into intruders.
When the old man surnamed Tan saw this, his heart moved slightly. After all, he was an old man with rich experience. When he was in his prime, he was still under the rule of Yunxiao Kingdom. And for these remnants of the previous dynasty, he did not have any deep hatred like ordinary people.
"There is nothing to criticize at this time. Mr. Hai just needs to deal with it carefully and check carefully. What really needs to be concerned about is not here at all, but the choice!" The old man said word by word.
"oh?"
"What you really need to care about is the role that Ji Shenfu, the governor of Luoye County, and Helian Tiexin's wife, Mrs. Lu, played in this annexation battle!" The old man surnamed Tan picked up the cup again. He drank some tea and explained slowly.
"Ji's family? Lu's family?" Helian Haixin's face turned a little ugly. He had realized that he must have been involved in a power struggle unintentionally.
However, with the strength of the Helian family, it would be difficult for the Tan family, Ji family, or Lu family to cope with it. In front of the six major Luo Yun families, the Helian family's wealth could not stand in the face of the six major families.
The old man had been watching the face of this "Master Hai". From the initial confusion, to shock, followed by anger, and fear, finally Helian Haixin finally came out of his state.
"Young master, you only need to uphold your duties and abide by the emperor's decree! Remember this!"
The young man in purple shirt first bowed, then drank all the tea in the cup in front of him, stood up and left.
The old man of the Tan family did not say anything to stop the other party, but watched him leave this quiet courtyard. And Helian Haixin, who left Tan Mansion, also met his housekeeper at the door of Tan Mansion.
"Why are you here? Are you waiting for me? What's the matter?" Helian Haixin, known as Mr. Hai, asked curiously.
"In reply to the young master, the master asked me to send a message to you, so that you can return home immediately." The housekeeper bowed and said.
Helian Haixin said calmly: "I understand, lead the way!"
