Fu Song

Chapter 354 The hidden worries of the Liao Emperor

After closing the booklet, Xiao Chuo smiled lightly and said, "These people are really vicious people. Even if they die ten times or eight times, they are not wronged. Qin Min, you really know how to find money." Man, where did you get all these ghosts?"

Qin Min said: "In the past, there were also death squads among the frontier troops. All the people in the squad were people who committed crimes and would die. Seventy-eight out of ten in this booklet were selected by me from various armies. Others , a trip to the prison, that’s about it.”

"It's really difficult for you. You have to fight bravely, and you have to worry about your family. It's really not easy to find such a person!"

"It's okay. Some people like this have to join the Death Squad to trade their lives for the safety of their families because of these concerns. Those in the prison are also caught because of these concerns, or they will fly away. I'm afraid no one can do anything to them." Qin Min said.

"Miss, some of these people are actually not serious crimes." Beside him, a gentle-looking young man who looked like a scholar said. "But it's not good to just take it in like this. It's better to return it."

"Oh, Sun Chun, is there someone you know here?" Xiao Chuo asked sideways.

The two brothers of the Sun family, Sun Chun and Sun Pu, Sun Chun is the eldest son of Sun Jucai, and now he has become the steward of Nanzhu Garden, in charge of the money exchange.The second son, Sun Pu, has extraordinary martial arts and is now a captain under Qin Min's command.

Sun Chun nodded and said: "Miss, the Murong Chong and Murong Chao brothers in there are not horse bandits, they were originally small officers in the Gongfen army, and their families had jobs and property, but they offended Khitan My lord."

After a pause, Sun Chun glanced at the several Khitan guards beside Xiao Chuo, seeing that they were indifferent, he continued: "The Khitan nobleman came across this scene of Rong Chong's wife by chance when he was playing."

Xiao Chuo couldn't help laughing, "Is it because of sex?"

Sun Chun nodded: "After the incident, the local officials couldn't afford to offend this Khitan nobleman, so they let the Khitan nobleman go away."

"How did Brother Murong take revenge in the end?"

"These two brothers are fierce! They chased all the way to the Xijin mansion. In broad daylight, the two of them rushed into the house of this Khitan nobleman and killed them. They killed the whole family including the Khitan nobleman. More than thirty mouths, all of them were killed."

"How many people died after arresting them?"

"There is no one dead. These two people left the opposite house, faced the officials who came to arrest them, and immediately surrendered!" Sun Chun said: "This case has been going on in both Xijin Mansion and Linhuang Mansion. In the end, although the two were sentenced to death, they were dragged down and never executed!"

"I'm afraid that the Khitan people want these two brothers to die, but those Han officials in the Southern Dynasty want to keep them?" Xiao Chuo smiled: "It's no wonder that these two people can survive until now. It involved the north-south dispute in the imperial court, and involved the conflict between the Khitan nobles and the Han family. If it was the past, they would die if they died. But now, the Han family has greatly increased in strength. They want official positions and rights. So happy to take this matter to work."

Sun Chun nodded: "Those who fight at the top, the officials at the bottom will suffer. This time Commander Qin took the token of the palace to pick up people, and those officials threw out hot potatoes like Brother Mu Rong. We Accept it, I'm afraid there will be some obstacles."

"What's the problem?" Xiao Chuo said indifferently. "Just pick it up."

Close the pages of the book, walk out of the tent, and go out into the wilderness. In front of them are unruly men with unkempt faces and shackles on their hands and feet. And feet of women and children, old and young.

These people don't know why they were gathered here. These guys who had some thoughts in their hearts, when they saw the men, women, old and children who arrived here one step earlier than them, they were all angry. , but also became honest.

Because among those people, there are relatives they all care about.

If it wasn't for the sake of protecting these people, how could they bind themselves and seek their own death!
At this moment, seeing a woman in filial piety clothes with a hemp rope around her waist appearing in front of them under the protection of a group of guards, everyone was stunned.

"I bought your life!"

"If you want to live longer, work hard in the future!"

"If you want to stand up and be liberated, then go all out!"

"If you die, your family will receive the best care."

"Those who dare to work hard and have some luck may have a brilliant future that you couldn't imagine before."

The woman who left behind a few words didn't even look at them, got on her horse and walked away.

In front of them, there was only the hideous ugly man who brought them here.

"My name is Qin Min, and now I will teach you the rules."

"If you are not convinced, you can challenge me! If you beat me, this leadership position will be yours!"

"Come on, get rid of their shackles!"

Outside the city gate, a caravan was ready to go, with dozens of carriages and hundreds of people, under the leadership of Sun Jucai, the shopkeeper of Luhesheng, preparing to embark on the journey.

This is the first time after more than half a year, Luhesheng started their business journey again.

And just half a month ago, they were even being watched and prepared to share and eat, not to mention keeping their property, even their lives were in jeopardy.

But now, they have transformed into one of the most solid firms in the middle and back offices of Xijin Mansion.

Standing behind them this time is the county palace.

"Remember, this time you go to the territory of Song State, you no longer have any relationship with the Xiao family in the past, you have already taken refuge in Daliao Qishui County Prince's Mansion." Xiao Chuo said plainly.

"Yes, Miss. Don't worry. Daliao has just won a game against the Song Dynasty. The sign of Qishui County's palace will definitely be unfavorable." Sun Jucai nodded heavily. "The villain is confident that the capital will double this year."

"Be able to make money, but also know how to use money!" Xiao Chuo said: "On the border, you need to make more friends, no matter if it is from the Song State or the Liao State. This is the case. The signboard of the Palace can help you for a while, It will benefit you for a while, but other people also want to eat and make money, so when it is time to spend money, you must not save money, and you must be willing to spend money to make friends when you should make friends. Only when you have more friends, can you make a fortune together in the future.”

"Yes!"

Shangjing, Linhuang Mansion, Daliao Palace.

The aged Daliao Emperor Yelu Hongde was leaning on the soft couch, and a court lady sat on the inner side of the couch, rubbing his legs vigorously for him, but no matter how hard she tried, Yelu Hongde would not feel anything.

"I think back then, these legs could kick a hungry wolf to death, but now, I can't even step out of bed!" A veteran of the

Yelu Hongzhen, Marshal of the Daliao Capital and the Great King of the North Courtyard, and also Yelu Hongde's younger brother, looked at the man on the couch who possessed supreme power and controlled the lives of countless people, and was inevitably heading towards the end of his life step by step. , I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart.

No matter how strong a man is, he cannot escape the invasion of time.

Time is truly invincible in the world.

"Linhuang Mansion is very lively right now!" Yelu Hongde chuckled, "Boss is jumping up and down, he is bullying me, a paralyzed man who can't get out of the palace, has he become deaf and blind?"

Hearing this, Yelu Hongzhen couldn't help laughing, and shook his head slowly: "Boss, after all, he has read less books, has more martial arts, and lacks brains, probably he thinks he has lost his chance , so if you want to fight again regardless of everything, Your Majesty should also be considerate."

Yelu Hongde snorted: "Anyway, as long as he doesn't lead troops in, I don't care about anything. In Daliao, we don't pay much attention to father's kindness and filial piety. After all, such a huge empire still has Only capable people can afford it, and for the past six months, seeing him at a loss, I was really disappointed."

Yelu Hongzhen also sighed: "I'm afraid he never dreamed of it, until now, he is still the first choice in your heart! But in my opinion, Lao Qi is undoubtedly a better choice. In the past two years What he has achieved is truly amazing!"

Yelu Hongde nodded: "But I am worried that if this guy really takes my position, Daliao will no longer be Daliao. He is too deeply influenced by the Han people. He wants to turn our Daliao into an image like Daliao An empire like the Song Dynasty, but Hongzhen, if we lose what we rely on for survival, and compete with the Han people for what they are best at, will we be opponents?"

"The Southern Court and the Northern Court of the Daliao Dynasty stand side by side. Even if it is the seventh, it is impossible to change such an ancestral system. As long as the Northern and Southern Courts are still there, as long as the hand of the Southern Dynasty cannot reach the North Court, it will not happen at all. Damaged!" Yelu Hongzhen frowned.

"Are you still more optimistic about Lao Qi?" The old emperor rubbed his leg lightly.

Yelu Hongzheng said: "Because I am worried that if it is really the boss, there will be a civil war in the country immediately. Nanjing Road requires money, people, and soldiers. Xijing Road Yeluhuan has always been supported by the old seven." In Liaodong, Yeluzhen, Yeluhu and the two governors are Lao Qi’s confidantes, and the Jurchens can be regarded as Lao Qi’s forbidden twins. Your Majesty, if we really want to fight, the boss is not an opponent!”

"Isn't there still you!" Yelu Hongde closed his eyes, "You are the commander of the Pishi army, with you in command, are you afraid that you will not be able to hold down the seventh?"

Yeluhong really paused for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, have you considered the variables brought about by that woman?"

Yelu Hongde opened his eyes and let out a heavy breath.

"Xiao Ding has the natural danger of Hengshan in the south to resist the Song Dynasty, so he has always regarded us as the biggest enemy." Yelu Hongzhen said: "If there is a civil war in our country, he will definitely join in it happily, making our domestic situation more and more serious. Chaos. If you include the variable of that woman, it will be even more difficult. Your Majesty, once Xiao Ding knows that her sister is by Lao Qi's side..."

"The brain is really a good thing, maybe Lao Qi thought of this move when he was on an envoy to the Song Kingdom, as long as the woman from the Xiao family appears by his side, we have to consider the variables at this level. " Yelu Hongde sighed. "I heard that Xiao Siwen was very angry?"

"Human nature!" Yelu Hongzheng said: "It depends on whether Lao Qi has a way to bring his father-in-law back, otherwise he will have more and bigger troubles. Commander's name, he is well-known in the Pishi Army."

Yelu Hongde rolled his eyes, thinking that Yelu Hong's joke was not funny at all.

"Let's see again, within a year, I have given the boss enough time to prevent Lao Qi from coming to Beijing. If he can still turn the situation around, it will be fate!" Yelu Hongde said: "You might as well Go and remind him, Lao Qi keeps poaching his corners, can't he dig Lao Qi's corners?"

"Lao Qi's corner is not easy to dig!" Yelu Hongzhen said: "Your Majesty forgot, those Han families have always been extremely cunning! Now that woman is here again, and they have seen the hope of the Han people to rise to the next level. Why? Are you willing to fall for the boss who has always been unkind to the Han people?"

"So, the only hope for the boss to come back is to defeat Xiao Ding's Western Army?" Yelu Hongde said.

"It's almost like this. If the boss defeats Xiao Ding, the old guy Yeluhuan will have to vote for him. In this way, those Han families on Nanjing Road will reconsider the possible price they will pay for supporting Lao Qi." Yeluhong said the truth.

Yelu Hongde thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "During this time, the Goryeo side is not very stable. Look, if the king of Korea doesn't know his face, he might as well change it."

Yelu Hongzhen smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow. This is also the boss' last chance. If he still loses to Xiao Ding, then there is nothing to say."

Seeing Yelu Hongzhen's burly figure leave the bedroom, Yelu Hongde let out a foul breath.Letting Yelu Hongzhen, the king of the Northern Academy and the commander of the Pishi Army, leave Shangjing to go to the distant Koryo to patrol the border, it is tantamount to handing over the power of the Pishi Army to Yeluxi's family. Of course, it is impossible to go out of Beijing on a large scale , but the two deputy commanders teamed up to transfer tens of thousands of people.

Tens of thousands of elite Pishi army, plus Yeluxi's own army under the head, and the Gongfen army of Shangjing Road, and the cooperation of the Song army outside Hengshan, if this situation still cannot defeat Xiao Ding's Western army , then Yeluxi directly lost the qualification to compete.

Liao people value heroes.

Yelujun has made brilliant achievements

If Yeluxi can't match him, how can he compete with him?Even if he publicly supports Yeluxi, it won't work.

Those leaders of various ministries and clans are absolutely unwilling to follow a loser!
