Han official!

Chapter 16 Tiger Cart
Hui. Hui Ren’s home.

Guo Jie was shocked, his lips trembling, "Are you serious? There are families in Chang'an who are under the command of this official!"

Huiren's Family is a killer organization in the Han Dynasty!
It is recorded in the "Qianfu Lun·Shushe" that in Luoyang there was a man who colluded to kill people, called Huiren's family, who accepted 100,000 people and refused to accept thousands of guests. According to the current investigation, the number of people who colluded to kill people in Luoyang ranged from dozens to four or five. If they did not die, they would continue to kill, all because of the frequent pardons.

Establishing a killer organization in Chang'an? !

Guo Jie, ah Guo Jie.

You are really looking for death.

No wonder Emperor Wu of Han insisted on killing you. No emperor could tolerate the existence of a killer organization next to his bed, let alone the iron-fisted emperor Liu Che.

Ji Shaogong couldn't tell whether Guo Jie was excited or shocked. He could understand either emotion, but he just didn't express it clearly.

"Mr. Guo, please listen to the details from this humble official."

Ji Shaogong explained, "The Huiren family, which Ma Tong has taken over in place of Lord Guo, consists of approximately thirty people. They are hiding in Lingyi near Jing County, not within Chang'an. There are also thirty people in Luoyang, and slightly more in Chen County, around forty."

Kindly support the death warriors.

There are hundreds of assassins who are proficient in assassination.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Guo Jie's forehead. The fine gauze under his jacket and trousers was already soaked. He was sweating profusely and secretly felt lucky: Fortunately, the guards at the Gaojie Duting Pavilion made a fuss, which aroused the determination to eradicate the powerful clansmen and discovered the cancer of Hui Ren's family early. Otherwise, I would die unclearly sooner or later. In front of the huge state machine, a thousand death warriors would be useless and would only make me die faster.

"Except for Huiren's family."

Guo Jie was afraid of the Guo Jie of the past. He was so bold that it was no wonder that Sima Qian wrote about him in "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Knights-Errant" and asked him solemnly: "Are there any other knights-errant in Chang'an or Chen County who can be of help?"

He wanted to find out clearly whether Guo Jie had done anything else.

Fortunately, Ji Shaogong knew Guo Jie very well.

Ji Shaogong pondered this and shook his head, saying, "Aside from the Huiren family, which Ma Tong manages, and the knights-errant in Chen County who are willing to obey Lord Guo's orders, there's no other external force we can rely on. However, I, a minor official, can call in a group of knights-errant from Linjin."

Ma Tong?
Guo Jie's eyes widened before he realized that the person in charge of Huiren's house was called Ma Tong.

Ma Tong is also called Mang Tong, and words with the word Mang in them are all disasters.

Mang Tong is no exception.

He did something extremely horrific.

Assassinate Emperor Wu of Han.

numb.

Guo Jie was completely paralyzed.

"you"

Guo Jie felt like he was losing strength to speak. "Go call the brothers from Lingyi. Also, go to Luoyang and Chenxian, dismiss the families of Huiren, call all the brothers together, and tell them that they no longer have to live on the edge of a knife. I will take care of them and help them to eat a share of the government salary."

He originally wanted to use the knights from Chen County to replace his clansmen to make up for the lack of powerful clansmen.

Who would have thought that the compensation would be beyond expectations.

Guo Jie waited until Ji Shaogong drove away in his carriage, then turned to look at Zhang Qian and Wei Guang, only to find that their faces were full of respect, obviously full of admiration for his courage in founding his family in Chang'an.

"Brother, you are so brave!"

Wei Guang's face was filled with envy: "If I had a family with great power in Chang'an, all those powerful officials and nobles would look up to me. Who would dare to look down on me?" "Nonsense."

Zhang Qian's expression was even more excited. "If I had a member of the Hui Ren family, I would immediately lead dozens of people to the west of the Yellow River and assassinate the Xiongnu King Xutu, who is blocking the Han Dynasty's access to the Western Regions. A real man should fight to leave his name in history!"

"you."

Guo Jie said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense. When have I ever had any of my subordinates be appointed to a position? They are all righteous men who punish evil and promote good. It's a pity that they have no way to serve their country and have temporarily committed themselves to the countryside. Now they follow me to protect the stability of Chang'an. They are all officials and guards of the government. Remember, they are now the government's people."

Wei Guang was depressed. How could the guards in the government offices and temples compare to the famous family of Ren? The officials and temples would be wary of them, and maybe even the emperor would be frightened when he heard about it.

Whenever he thought about the fact that the emperor would always remember him because of Ren's family, he felt even more depressed.

Zhang Qian sighed and said it was a pity that a group of assassins had to work as guards at the pavilion. It was such a waste of their talents. He should have taken the assassins with him to the Western Regions.

Guo Jie saw the expressions of the two men and knew what they were thinking. He smiled helplessly and stayed temporarily in Zhang Qian and Gan Fu's house, waiting for Mang Tong to come with the knights from Hui Ren's family.

The guards at Gaojie Duting waited anxiously for a whole day, but Guo Jie did not show up to take up his post. Since he did not show up, the good plan of forcing him to resign was useless.

Guo Jie stood at the gate of the neighborhood, waiting for the knights from Mang Tong and Hui Ren's family to arrive.

Heavy snow fell for several days in a row, and the area near the gate was covered with snow. It was white everywhere. There was no one in sight, only the rammed earth inner wall covered with snow.

A carriage covered with white cloth appeared at the gate of the neighborhood. The driver was not Ji Shaogong, but the burly Mang Tong.

He seemed not to be afraid of the cold. He wore a short shirt in winter, with his strong arms bare. He held the reins in one hand and the iron hammer in the other, and had a thick beard on his face.

Behind the carriage covered with white cloth followed thirty knights, all of them wearing crimson clothes, with two-foot swords at their waists and a terrifying mark tattooed on their faces.

Guo Jie took a closer look and found that it looked very much like the community ghost in the silk painting "Community God Protecting Souls" unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb.

She is the god of the earth. The She Gong worshipped in the She sacrifice represents the Lord of the Underworld, who is in charge of punishment and killing.

The community ghost is the ghost responsible for punishment and killing, and is subordinate to the community god.

Mang Tong got off the car and knelt on the ground with many rangers: "Greetings to the community master."

Social worker?

I?
Guo Jie was overjoyed. According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, five people formed a squad and ten people formed a group. The three groups of knights worshipped Guo Jie as a community god.

The Han Dynasty had a strong trend of ghost and god worship. When Wang Mang was trying to suppress the uprisings in various places, he was short of troops, so he released the prisoners in the city and made them swear an oath in blood that "if anyone does not serve the new dynasty, the community ghosts will remember him." This meant that prisoners who did not serve the new dynasty would be targeted by the community ghosts, so he used ghosts and gods to stabilize people's hearts.

Although these knights could not compare to the clansmen and servants of powerful people who often numbered in the hundreds, they were Guo Jie's trustworthy team. What was even more valuable was that they were the elite among the elite.

Zhang Qian and Wei Guang looked at the knights in crimson robes kneeling down and became more and more envious. They wished they could be the ones to be called the god of the community.

Guo Jie turned over and sat on the carriage covered with white cloth, and was about to lead all the knights to Gaojie Duting.

"Brother, wait a moment."

Wei Guang ran over with the tiger skin in his arms, skillfully draped it over the ox's back, and said cheerfully, "I skinned and saltpetered the tiger I killed yesterday to prevent it from rotting. Now, wrapping the ox with a complete tiger skin will make it look like a tiger pulling the cart for you. Only then can you live up to your reputation of fighting tigers with your bare hands."

His skill in making saltpeter was excellent. He could peel off a tiger skin completely without any damage, and then wrap it around an ox that was more powerful than a horse. It really looked like a tiger pulling a cart.

Guo Jie looked at the tiger pulling the cart and shouted, "Let's go and take over Er Sanzi's wealth and glory in Chang'an!"
