Chapter 213 The Truth About the Riot
(4000 chapters, I wish you all a happy weekend, and your support is desperately needed!)
Xijiang is the collective name for the northwestern frontier of Dading. Therefore, the government office here is called Xijiang Mansion, and the military camp stationed here is called Xijiang Guard.

Xijiang prefecture has a large population, and further to the northwest is Dading's neighbor Dasheng. It is the border between Dading and Dasheng. Therefore, the status of Xijiang prefecture is very special. Correspondingly, the role of Xijiang guard is also important. Very important.
The governments and generals in Xijiang are located in the hinterland of Xizhou. Although Xijiang is bitterly cold, Xizhou is the most prosperous place in Xijiang.Anyone who has been here will have a sigh: Although Xizhou is not as good as the capital Jingzhao, it is not much inferior to the prosperous Jiangnan.

At this moment, Xue Shoufan was standing on the land of Xizhou, observing the scenery and people here, truly feeling the prosperity here, and sighing similarly, with extremely complicated emotions.

He is over 40 years old and has never set foot in Western Xinjiang in his life. He has always thought that this is a place of bitter cold, and he also thought that what he saw was mostly people's livelihood and shrinking.What he didn't want to see along the way was completely different from what he thought.There is not much to say about the scenery, the most important thing is the people here.

The people here are extremely tough, and it seems that every household is young and strong, and they know one or two moves of martial arts, but they are not bullying, but have a kind of restrained gentleness.It can be seen that this is the gentleness nourished by a stable life.This extremely strong contrast impacted his heart, making him not know what to do.
Xijiang under the Fu family's rule is indeed a place where people live in peace and prosperity, this is the biggest thought in Xue Shoufan's mind. ——That's right, it's not the governor of Xijiang who made Xijiang peaceful, but the Wei and Fu family of Xijiang.
The current Governor of Xijiang Mansion is Zheng Bo'an, he is the nephew of Empress Dowager Zheng who was raised in the palace.All the officials at the top of Dading knew that Zheng Bo'an's ability to serve as an official was mediocre, and this governor of Xijiang was purely the emperor's kindness to the Zheng family.

And Zheng Bo'an himself takes pleasure in mediocrity, indulges in sex and wealth, doesn't spend much energy on political affairs, and can only pass the exams with the escort of Queen Mother Zheng. The influence of this prefect on Xijiang is really limited.

These kinds of meanings can almost be directly replaced by: Without the Fu family in Xijiang, there would be no peace in Xijiang now!

And this sentence is the last thing Xue Shoufan wants to face, because he knows that the last thing the emperor wants to hear is similar words.The emperor asked him to come to Xijiang, in addition to investigating whether the Xijiang Guard was rioting, but more importantly, he wanted to know the true normal state of the Xijiang Guard.
He was thinking, how should everything about Xijiang be reported to the imperial court?
"General, should we go to General Xijiangwei's mansion now?" When Xue Shoufan was in a daze, Li Lin, the captain accompanying him, asked for instructions.

They rode all the way to the western border in a hurry, so they didn't even stop at the Longxi Guard, just in order not to surprise the eyes and ears, in case the Fu family was prepared.Now they have been making unannounced visits in Xizhou for several days, and they know all the information they can find out from the outside. It is time to visit the General's Mansion, otherwise they will not be able to contact Xijiangwei at all.

"It's time, let's get ready. I'm going to visit Fu's family." Xue Shoufan nodded and agreed to Li Lin's invitation.
Xue Shoufan wanted to visit Governor Zheng Bo'an in the past, but he didn't know if there would be hidden words about Zheng Bo'an's friendship with the Fu family, so he simply thought that it would be more accurate to check it himself.He came here by order of the king, and wanted to investigate something. Although it was difficult, he did not find nothing.

The soldiers he brought to the western border were very few, but all of them were elites from the Huben Anbu. In just a few days, a lot of news had been revealed.
He confirmed that the soldier's riot really happened. Some soldiers lost their relatives, some pawns saw the soldier's riot with their own eyes, and even a well-informed businessman knew the ins and outs.Xue Shoufan has all these news in his pocket.

He was going to visit the Fu family, of course not to investigate or blame, but...but what?Xue Shoufan himself is not too clear, after all, he should ask about the riots.

What kind of rhetoric will the Fu family have?

At this moment, in the General's Mansion of the Western Border Guard, veteran general Fu Tong gathered his brothers, son and grandson to discuss matters in the meeting hall.The meeting hall usually filled with the generals of the Xijiang Guards, now it doesn't seem too spacious to sit with the children of the Fu family - after all, there are quite a few children of the Fu family.

The Fu family is a big family in Western Xinjiang. The so-called big family has a long history and a large number of people.The Fu family is a typical family that thrives on the prosperity of the population. It has been reproduced for several generations, and the father, son and grandson are endless. Now the most important thing that the Fu family lacks is people.

So three years ago, when Emperor Chongde ordered Fu Ming to go to Beijing to take up a post to control the Fu family, some of the Fu family's children couldn't help laughing out loud: If the Fu family belonged to one person, then there would have been no Fu family in Xijiang.

Fu Tong had six brothers in total. Apart from his second brother Fu Xuan who died in battle in his prime, he had four younger brothers, each of whom had many legitimate sons and concubines. In addition to the eldest grandson Fu Ming, grandsons and nephews have grown up one after another, and those who can appear here in the meeting hall are all outstanding members of the Fu family.

Fu Tong sat at the head of the meeting hall, looked around at the crowd, and said with a smile: "Everyone must know about Jingzhao. Ming'er was seriously injured. The emperor summoned me to Beijing, and Xijiang will be handed over to everyone."

As soon as his words fell, the meeting hall seemed to be instantly injected with vitality. The voice of speech began to rise, and the expressions on the faces of the people began to be exciting.

Fu Huaide sat on the lower left side of Fu Tong, stroking his beard habitually, and then said: "Father, please rest assured, I will take care of the affairs in the army, and father will take care of Jingzhao."

Fu Huaide's appearance is very similar to Fu Tong's, both are extremely elegant and handsome, not at all like a general in the army - of course, Xijiang soldiers and Dasheng soldiers definitely don't think so.In fact, Dasheng's soldiers changed their expressions when they heard Fu Tong's name, and they were also afraid of the name Fu Huaide.

This pair of father and son is really a nightmare for Dasheng soldiers. Even the routine border raids in peacetime can make Dasheng soldiers peel off their flesh and blood. How can they not be afraid?
"The emperor's decree is very beneficial. At least the Ministry of War has rewarded a lot of military supplies..." said a lazy voice, focusing on the benefits that could be obtained.

The person who spoke was Fu Huailu, and he was the one who laughed at Emperor Chongde's actions. He is Fu Tong's nephew, and he also served in the Xijiang Guard. Fu Huaide is an official.
After Fu Huaide and Fu Huailu, there were still many young children who spoke out, saying that they were all to reassure Fu Tong that everyone here in Xijiangwei would work together.

Fu Tong was still smiling while listening to the words of the group of disciples, but he was not very optimistic in his heart.For unknown dangers, Fu Tong always has a precise intuition.This intuition has allowed him to survive on the battlefield in the past, and he dare not ignore it at all.

This intuition had been there since he learned that Fu Ming was injured, and it became even more obvious after he received the emperor's imperial decree.Thinking of the imperial decree received earlier, Fu Tong's eyes flashed brightly.

This imperial decree came very quickly, only two days later than the Fu family's hidden guards, because the servants who came to issue the decree knew martial arts, and they followed the military path, unlike the previous imperial decrees, which took more than half a month to arrive .

Such a quick imperial decree explained many problems in itself.How serious is Ming'er's injury?Why did the emperor call him to Beijing so urgently?How many hands did someone push?What is the situation in Jingzhao now...

These are all doubts of Fu Tong.The latest news sent by Jingzhao Fu's secret guard is about private soldiers.Fu Ming was assassinated first, and then there were rumors of private soldiers. Fu Tong subconsciously felt that the rumors of private soldiers were directed at the Fu family. Before he could tell his son Fu Huaide of his worries, the Xijiang Guard rioted.

This time the soldiers riot started very suddenly, no one from the Fu family and the generals in Weizhong knew the news in advance, and it spread extremely quickly, and the final scale was not small, which was beyond Fu Tong's expectation.

The timing of this soldier riot was very ingenious, it happened to be the day of the border purge once a month, the scouts of the Fu family had already found out that the soldiers of Dasheng would make big moves during this purge of the border, therefore, Fu Most of the children of the family went to experience with the soldiers, and the riot broke out in the Xizhou garrison.

After the riot broke out, Fu Tong led the rest of the Fu family's children and generals, and quickly suppressed the riot. After all, this riot was spread, and many people, businessmen and traffickers witnessed the rebellion. Soldiers riot.

The leader of this riot was Zhang Po, the commander of the Sixth Guards Battalion in Xijiang, who the Fu family did not expect at all.When Fu Ming was still in Xijiang, he had a very good relationship with Zhang Po, and the soldiers in Weizhong knew this too. When Zhang Po incited the soldiers to riot, it would be so smooth!

"We all read the wrong chapter! This is not a good friend of Ming'er, but an enemy who wants to put the Fu family to death! Zhang Po is too cruel, and the people behind him are too vicious!" At that time, Fu Huailu ruthlessly He spat and cursed.

After the riot was suppressed, Zhang Chi committed suicide. Before he died, he wept and sighed: "Master Ming, we can no longer seek justice for you..."

When he was about to die, he even dragged the Fu family's back. Isn't this ruthless?If Zhang Po really thought about the Fu family, he would never lead this riot!Killing in the name of a friend simply stained the word "friendship", that's why the Fu family's children resented Zhang Chi so much.
Afterwards, the Fu family found out that Zhang Po's wife and children had already been sent out of Xijiang, which shows that they had already made preparations.Not only that, but the Fu family also found out that several generals who participated in the riot had the shadow of Dasheng behind them!
This riot was actually related to Dasheng!No wonder, the scouts received news about Dasheng's suppression of borders earlier. It seemed that this news was a bureau arranged by Dasheng, with the purpose of attracting the children of the Fu family to launch this riot smoothly.

But now there is no movement from Dasheng's frontier soldiers, it seems that everything is with their military officers, and Zhang Po is dead, and the same is true for those generals. Who is behind this riot, the Fu family has not yet found out , This shocked many children of the Fu family.
The soldier's riot was not terrible. What really turned Fu's face was the name of this riot.In the name of seeking justice for Fu Ming, Zhang poked the soldiers to confront the court, and was seen by many people, which meant that the Fu family could not completely suppress the riot, and there would be unknown follow-up dangers!After all, as long as you think about it with your head, you know that the riots are just the beginning. What will happen next?
What is the purpose of Zhang Po and others to trigger this riot?This point, the Fu family has not yet confirmed.

Now, all I can do is to keep digging for news, hoping to find a breakthrough news and find out who is behind it.

As for Fu Tong himself, every day he prepares with his old wife, Mrs. Chen, to go to Beijing with great interest. He doesn't seem to care too much about the follow-up of the riot. It was not until he was about to leave for Jingzhao three days later that he summoned the children of the clan to explain the matter. .

Therefore, people such as Fu Huaide and Fu Huailu would appear here in the meeting hall. They should be in the barracks at this time, or they should be in the Fu family's ancestral house not far from the general's mansion.

"Huai De, there is no need to investigate the Dasheng frontier soldiers about the riots in the army. Soothe the soldiers in the guard and let the scouts pay attention to the news of the rest of the guards. I think there should be new news soon." Tong said so.

In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart, this was also the worst plan he had made, but the matter was not yet clear, and he didn't want to make the Fu family's children worry too much.

"Father... my child knows!" Fu Huaide's face changed slightly after hearing these words, but seeing many Fu family children here, he also understood Fu Tong's intentions, so he suppressed what he wanted to say, as if he knew everything.

Fu Tong nodded, glanced over Fu Huaide, landed on Fu Huailu, and confessed: "Huailu, I told you about planting trees in western Xinjiang, you must not let it go. When I come back from Jingzhao, I will see score, you know?"

Fu Huailu sat up slightly, with a rare serious voice: "I have made arrangements for my nephew, and the Xijiang government is also very supportive of this. There are also many people who are willing to become mountain forest households. Uncle, please rest assured."

After hearing Fu Huailu's words, many children of the Fu family raised their eyebrows curiously: This is the first time they have heard the name Shanlinhu, and they don't know what it is.

But Fu Tong was not interested in explaining to them. After hearing Fu Huailu's words, he called out the names of several Fu family children and explained their different things. Fu Tong is extremely concerned about things.

After Fu Tong explained everything, he was about to encourage all the disciples, but he didn't want to be knocked lightly on the door of the meeting hall, and then someone outside the door reported: "General, I have something important to report..."

It was Fu Huaide's bodyguard Fu Wu who knocked on the door and spoke.Fu Wu knew the rules of the meeting hall. If there was no urgent matter, he would not knock on the door at this time. What is it?
(Outside the chapter: Many book friends must know that the state of the Fu family is a bit like the situation of the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty, but the Fu family is not as carefree as the Jiedushi, haha. Finally PS: I am empty, please don’t take your seats~)
