Two days passed in a flash. More than two hundred miles south of Xiuyan Mansion, in a Great City built along the river, with the morning light, people on the streets of Mansion City gradually increased.

This is Shangye Mansion, where Yang Dingyuan’s hometown is located.

The form of Shangyefu is no different from other state capitals in the country. It is also a layer of gentry and powerful people who control everything. In Shangyefu, the strongest is Liang Family, patriarch Liang Zhenzhong used breakfast After gargle with tea, he went into the study and picked up a book, and watched it with a sense of taste.

He only watched for a moment, and was interrupted by Steward who entered the house, “Master, the two patriarchs of Fang and Niu are visiting.”

Liang Zhenzhong was very upset, “Two The old fart only got together yesterday afternoon to discuss for so long, and they came to disturb people and clean up again early in the morning. It was nothing more than or for the civil unrest in the state capital.”

In the south of Xiuyan Mansion, its position is closer to Yun Prefecture, and it is also very fast to travel to Yun Prefecture, but to be honest, the powerful family of the cream of the crop here still does not know about Yun Prefecture Xuecheng Li Yuanshu.

To be precise, they heard the rumors a long time ago that they did not send someone to confirm in detail. This is not surprising. It is not surprising that Tang Huailan and other elite children of a state Peak wealthy went to Da Yuecheng to confirm the truth about Li Yuanshu’s affairs. False, less than a week has passed.

At present, Xiuyanzhou, the biggest and most worthy of the attention of the gentry, is the rebellion between the two thieves of Han and Zhang! It is said that Zhang Shun, who is entrenched in Pinghui County, went down the river and was able to insert Bingfeng outside the city of Shangye Mansion in less than a day.

For the people who are so close, even if they have heard about Li Yuanshu, they still speculate with old-school thinking, thinking that it was Li Yuanshu who created auspicious events for themselves and fooled the people.

Even in theory, Zhang Shun’s thief army is impossible to give up the threat of Xiuyan Mansion and suddenly send troops to Shangye Mansion, but no matter how low the theoretical probability is, it cannot be denied. Zhang Shunjun will go straight down to repair one day. The power of the Rock House!

With this ability, it is enough to make the entire Xianghe River, the county capitals and cities along the river, feel uneasy.

How did Zhang Shun win Pinghui? How did Han Jianzhou capture Anguang County? All were sneak attack battles, and during the battle, the gentry and private soldiers composed of countless low-level citizens directly rebelled against the thieves.

In these days, Liang Zhenzhong, Fang Daochuan, and Niu Xinghai, the three largest gentry leaders in Shangyefu, have basically never slept too much. They have all put forward more than one countermeasures to seal the river. .

The problem is that it doesn’t work to block the river by chain? Zhang Shun’s troops and horses were not originally the navy. They only need to drive the ship to the vicinity of Shangye Mansion and disembark the army to attack the mansion city from land. If the river is closed by iron cable, the cheaper thing is that Shangye Mansion is farther south and lower reaches the county government, which can give those counties enough comfort.

The closure of the river by iron cable actually closed many prefectures and cities in the upper reaches to ensure the safety of Shangye Mansion. For example, to the south of Pinghui County, the nearest is Luo County, then Xiangfu Fucheng, Zhongdu County, Linguang County, Pingzhe County, and then Shangye Fucheng. In theory, as long as the river is blocked in Luoxian County, starting from Xiangfu Fucheng, everyone can sleep peacefully.

Unable to stand up, the upper reaches of the county will not be sealed!

Will Luo County local tycoons be so kind? I use iron chains to seal the river, you are all safe, how about me? I became the only target of Zhang Shun’s thieves.

If the river is closed, if Zhang Shunruo attacks along the river, he can only choose Xiuyan Mansion City and He Luo County. I will not close the river, good fellow, there are many targets along the Xianghe River, Zhang Shun casually If I choose, my security guarantee has naturally greatly improved.

With this mentality, the lower reaches of the Xianghe River maintained the same attitude. Everyone did not close the river. It was just that there were troops stationed in each city day and night to guard against death.

Shangyefu contributed the most, namely Liang, Fang and Niu.

Master Liang Zhenzhong, who always loves cleanliness and advocates decentralization and governance to his family, has been gathering together frequently in the past few months. He racked his brains and wrangled at various gatherings to prevent thieves, but he was exhausted. .

So when he heard two old friends coming together again, his head hurts with anger.

Tucao return to Tucao, next moment Liang Zhenzhong still quickly asked Steward to greet the two people entering the mansion.

After a while, just let the maid serve a few cups of tea here, Fang Daozhuan, Niu Xinghai entered the study, Fang Daochuan was 45 years old, and he looked pretty white. Handsome face, but he was impatient. He opened the mouth and said when he stepped into the door, “Brother Liang, there seems to have been some accidents in the chaos of the prefecture. Today, there is a big ship from the capital. People visiting Yang Family.”

Liang Zhenzhong was stunned, “Which Yang Family?”

“Yang Dingyuan, the relative who is still alive.” Niu Xinghai was also polite and walked over. Pick up tea near the desk and start drinking.

Liang Zhenzhong was a little messy, and after a few breaths, he said strangely, “There is a boat from Fucheng to my business, just to visit Yang Dingyuan’s relatives? Whose soldiers?”

Fang Daochuan said bitterly, “It’s the banner of the Tang clan, my rock repair king, and it is indeed the big ship of the Tang clan, but didn’t Pinghui pull the chain to seal the river? How did the big ship get off?”

“At this juncture, what is the use of the Tang family sending someone to find Yang Dingyuan’s surviving relatives? The few members of the family are living in Shangye, and the middle-aged family don’t worry about food and clothing. “

Yang Dingyuan, he was wooed by countless gentry and wealthy when he was still alive, naturally including the Great Family in Shangyefu, everyone is familiar with.

Five months after Yang Dingyuan’s death, the mansion where his wife and children lived, the fields in Fucheng, and even the shops in Fucheng were swallowed clean by the gentry. Those things were not Liang, Fang, Niu Made by three.

Anyway, as a giant of the cream of the crop, they are not so disgusting in their eating. After all, Yang Dingyuan is recognized as a century-old marshal. After his death, he was awarded by the Imperial Court, just a few If they swallow the property themselves and bully the orphans and widows, their reputation will be utterly lousy, and the whole country will be ashamed.

Furthermore, when Yang Dingyuan was alive, there was not much family business to talk about. A house in the city covers an area of ​​one or two acres, which is not one-tenth the size of the three ancestral houses, and only a few hundred acres of farmland outside the city. , There are only two or three shops, that bit of oil and water is not worth seeing.

That was just a group of small and medium gentry.

Peak giants like Liang Zhenzhong, Fang Daochuan, and Niu Xinghai just sit and watch those things happen, don’t stop them, just watch them for fun.

The mentality of looking at fun also has the emotion of venting anger. You were so arrogant when you were alive. You ignored us for so long when we drew you. Now, what does it feel like to know that no one is protecting you? If Yang Dingyuan really took refuge in a rich family back then, let alone impossible being pitted so badly on the battlefield, even if he died in the battle, the opponent’s family would be protected by the rich family.

Do you think that wealthy families don’t need to set benchmarks and let other Ding Family officials watch them?

If Yang Dingyuan really took refuge in anyone, whether it is a powerful or a stately powerful, it is impossible to let people bully his wife and daughter after his death, otherwise, the other retainers, who would care I’ll do something for you! In fact, the original Imperial Court of Lu Kingdom should also have such credibility to have civil and military allegiance, but the Imperial Court of Lu Kingdom…that’s all.

But now, the Tang family in Fucheng’s unfathomable mystery breakthrough Suojiang in Pinghui County, and the big ship came to Shangye, just to visit Yang Family’s relatives? This operation is too fascinating!
