Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 221
Xuzhou Inspector walked to the stage, Xi Jian smiled and saw off several old family members who came to see him, but when he returned to the room, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He was originally a powerful party with tens of thousands of troops, and the current situation forced him to be trapped in Taicheng for several years, watching other people fulfill their ambitions in the current situation.Seeing that even Su Jun, who was recommended by him and entrusted with important tasks by the court, gradually became more important than Xifan, but he could only be raised in Taicheng, watching Wang Yu's fighting skills, and had no influence on the current situation. Depression is predictable.

Xi Jian left the capital this time with great enthusiasm in his heart.He also considered that since he had been away from the people for so long, it would not be too easy to clean up the situation, and there should be some twists and turns, but after arriving in Jingkou, he found that the situation was much worse than he had expected.

Of the tens of thousands of people who had attached to him in Yanzhou, thousands of people followed him to the south. However, except for more than [-] people from the direct line, the rest either dispersed or went to other places.Even those who were still on the front line of Jingkou were squeezed out by Liu Xia and the Jizhou Department, and they were thrown into idleness.

These situations were expected by Xi Jian. Long before he was ordered to leave the capital, he wrote books to his former subordinates, hoping that they would remember the old feelings and help him stabilize the situation in Jingkou.Those old subordinates also responded and supported him to guard Jingkou.

However, what Xi Jian didn't expect was that in the past few years when he entered the capital, a hermit monster appeared on the front line of Jingkou and Jinling.He had also heard about this Yin Jue in the capital, and even his family's children were involved in it.Originally, Xi Jian thought it was just a game played by a group of Gaoliang children with nothing to do, but when he came to Jingkou, he found that the situation was much more serious than he imagined!
Jingkou is a place with a river width of forty miles. It is not worried about being attacked by Jiehu.Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in a small area, which can be called the most densely populated place in Jiangdong.These people came from all the states in the Northland, and the situation was inherently complicated and easy to move and difficult to settle.

In the name of making profit, that Yin Jue was able to enlist all the people here, scholars and common people alike, including the sons of high-ranking families, as well as tyrants and refugees.If it is said that the organizer has no other intentions, Xi Jian will not believe it anyway.Even if it didn't exist before, after gaining such a large influence, it will naturally breed.

It is not easy to stabilize the situation in Jingkou, but now with the addition of this so-called Yin Jue, the situation is even more chaotic.Therefore, as soon as he came to Jingkou, he attacked Yinjue, wanting to test how powerful Yinjue really was.

However, the force of the rebound was greater than he had imagined. As soon as he made a move, the situation in Jingkou became turbulent.Although it was not completely chaotic, the dark undercurrent also made his heart palpitate.Those old subordinates who came here to meet him just now were all here to test his words, and their words also revealed the meaning of being entrusted by other people to intercede.

This made Xi Jian feel embarrassed, and couldn't make up his mind what to do next.From the bottom of his heart, he naturally didn't want to have such a huge organization out of his control.But it seems impossible to eradicate it in one fell swoop.

Until dinner, Xi Jian was still thinking about what to do next.Seeing the young man sitting below him, Xi Jian's heart moved, and he said, "Erlang came to my room after dinner, I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Xi Erlang, who was also a friend before, felt a little uncomfortable, unwilling to eat, so he got up after eating a little food and followed his uncle into the study.

"Erlang, you have lived in Jingkou for a long time, and you have many contacts with those Yinjue people. Tell me carefully again, what is this Yinjue? What kind of thinking are you involved in being so fascinated by it? , believe it or not?"

Seeing some restless children, Xi Jian said with a warm smile.

That Xi Erlang was forced by his uncle to withdraw from the Yin Jue, and he was feeling a little nervous recently, when he heard this question, he pondered for a long time before he said solemnly: "Uncle, our friends may have different interests, but what we do is absolutely different." There are no prohibited acts. For example, I am not as talented as my elder brother, and my endowment is also inferior to my two younger brothers, but my thoughts and thoughts are the same, and I want to take responsibility for the continuation of the family business!"

"My material is mediocre, and it is difficult to stand out from the crowd. The only thing I have relied on in my life is this family background that can be respected and trusted. Therefore, I and other funders gathered in one place, pooled crowds of funds, made profits, and then fed back to a group of funders. There is no doubt about mutual trust, everyone gets what they want, and there is really no trace of rebellion in what they think and do."

"Erlang, you have a pure nature, I know very well, but these friends of the hermit are born in different families, and their hearts are different, so how can they be all kind. You have never worried that someone will use my family's poor eyesight to confuse others to do something. evil?"

"In the beginning, I did have this hesitation, but Yu Youxu taught me that there is no way for misfortune and good fortune, and mediocrity. Since there is no one like Boyi and Shuqi to live by harvesting weeds, it is inevitable to socialize with others. Cherish your own reputation and be afraid to communicate with others If you can be self-righteous, why should you be afraid of what others say. Besides, those who can be friends are all of the same mind. If you use me to push others, you can see that they have nothing to do with each other. evil thoughts."

Speaking of this, Na Xi Erlang said sadly: "I have been a friend for nearly three years, and I have a lot of money to support my family. I have never done anything bad to harm my family. I really don't know why I see evil from my uncle..."

After hearing the words, Xi Jian was dumbfounded, not knowing how to comfort the wronged nephew.In fact, if this Yin Jue is really as his nephew said, only seeking money and not asking for anything else, he is not intolerable, but the premise is to put it under his own control.

But now that the leader is the Yu family, he has to wonder whether Yu Liang will use this Yin Jue to convey some will, and then form a restraint on himself.Moreover, besides Yu's family, there seemed to be the shadow of Wu Xingshen's family, which inevitably made Xi Jian even more worried.

Wu Xing's Shen's family is not simply a family of Qingwang and retreat, known as the head of Jiangdong, and the local capital is not inferior to any family in the world.Moreover, his family is even more entrenched in Wu Xing and is in charge of Kuaiji. Such a southerner Haozong may not have much goodwill towards the overseas Chinese.Especially his family is even more rebellious. Even if they are lucky enough to be lucky enough to be Emperor Zong now, there is still a layer of estrangement between them and the Qiaomen.

Xi Jian was very aware of his mission in Jingkou. Before he left the capital, the Taibao had a long talk with him. When he came to Jingkou, he not only guarded the local area, but also stabilized the situation in Huaibei. Gyeonggi.If any point is lacking, it will make his position not important enough, and then the role of other aspects will be greatly reduced.

"I remember Erlang once said that this Yin Jue has always been an internal matter of the Northern family, so why did Wu Xing and Shen's family get involved in it?"

This was Xi Jian's biggest worry. He guarded Jingkou, partly because he wanted to deter southerners like Wu Xing's and Shen's families, and he couldn't tolerate his family's plans in the area under his jurisdiction.

When Xi Erlang heard this, his expression was also a little dazed: "About this section, I really don't know very well. Earlier, Yinjue had a dangerous situation, and we were all helpless. Yu Youxu suddenly said that Wu Xingshen's family can be a strong support, He also told us that the intention of Yinjue was originally conspired by the son of Duke Xiling, Mr. Shen Zhezi. Earlier, Yu Youxu called on our friends to go to Jiankang to strengthen the Shen family..."

Seeing his uncle's serious expression, Xi Erlang didn't dare to hide anything, so he recounted the previous incident in detail.

Earlier, Xi Jian was busy with the matter of leaving the capital, and he didn't pay much attention to the matter of candidate emperor son-in-law who was making a fuss in the capital. It was the first time he heard about these secrets.He used violence against Yinjue, including detaining Wuzhong's property, all because he subconsciously didn't want any connection between the southerners and Yinjue, but he didn't expect that the Shen family was involved so deeply!
That Xi Erlang didn't know the seriousness of the situation yet, but when Xi Jian heard what he said, he couldn't help feeling horrified.If the Shen family started to lay out Jingkou a few years ago, then that Shen Chong, Shen Shiju, who is known as a treacherous man, has too deep a strategy!
It must be known that before and after the Wang Dun Rebellion several years ago, the Shen family was absolutely at a disadvantage, precarious and might perish at any time.At such a dangerous time, Shen Chong actually still had the mind to play a dark game in Jingkou. This scheming really made Xi Jian shudder!

If this Yinjue is really a conspiracy between the Yu family and the Shen family, then for Xi Jian, he has to get rid of it!Their positions are different. It can be said that the greatest significance of him sitting in Jingkou is to deter the Three Wus and provide a stable rear for the court.If the Shen family can settle down in Wuzhong, they will be able to live in peace with each other.

However, since the Shen family began to set up in Jingkou several years ago, it can be seen that his family has a lot of plans, so how could it be possible to be content with guarding Wuzhong!As a result, there is little room for peaceful coexistence between each other.

Because if he can't form a strong deterrent to Wuzhong, then Jingkou's strategic position as an inner town will not be reflected, and he has almost no meaning in the current situation!

Xi Jian's thoughts turned sharply, and he thought about what Xi Erlang said for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said: "Yin Jue once had a crisis, what kind of crisis is it? How can the Shen family help him out?"

Xi Erlang replied honestly: "In the past, the capital of the hidden and noble-level people mainly relied on the funds offered by the friends of the latecomers, but as more people were involved, it was gradually difficult to have a surplus. The capitalists don’t know how to deal with it, they are afraid of causing disaster, and the Jingkou area is narrow and densely populated, making it extremely turbulent, so they intend to move south..."

"Moving south? How many families plan to move south?"

When Xi Jian heard this, his eyes flashed, and he quickly interrupted Xi Erlang's words and asked.

Because there were so many people involved, Xi Erlang raised his fingers.As he talked about more and more families, Xi Jian's expression became clearer. When Xi Erlang finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing and said: "These families have many old surnames. Alright, since everyone wants to move south, I will help them settle down in Wuzhong!"

Regarding the internal operation of Yinjue and how the Shen family will solve the predicament, Xi Jian is not yet clear.But he didn't need to fully understand that since the Shen family had worked so hard to make arrangements several years in advance, he would simply return all the arrangements he had laid out. If every family wanted to move south, he might as well contribute to the flames.

If this can be done, on the one hand, it will disintegrate the layout of the Shen family in Jingkou, and on the other hand, it will simplify the situation in Jingkou.It is troublesome for those old surnames of overseas Chinese to live here. There are many family backgrounds, and it is difficult to adjust the balance.If they all went to Wuzhong, they would not need to worry about themselves.
