On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 69
As brother Che's closest servant, Zhao Wen has been busy these days.

Because Cui Che and Yang Guang did not dare to fully trust the clerks assigned to the governor's office to supervise them, Yang Guang secretly sent another group of trustworthy confidants to monitor.

However, going to Taiyuan County to investigate the real situation of field allocation also requires manpower, so Cui Che asked Zhao Wen and a few servants brought from Chang'an to participate in it.

Zhao Wen and others walked the country lanes in Taiyuan County for the past two days, and asked many local poor farmers, but they never got any results. They all said that the land was allocated to them by the government and had nothing to do with the Wang family.

Looking at the numb or fearful eyes of those people, Zhao Wen knew well that someone must have greeted them in advance and unified their voices.

On the land of Bingzhou, the Gao family once established a domineering mansion here, and the Yuwen family ruled for five years, and now they are surnamed Yang, but the city has changed the king's banner, and only the Taiyuan Wang family is the iron master.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor in Chang'an City is too far away, and the royal family masters in Jinyang and Qi County are the existences they need to serve carefully.

At first Zhao Wen thought it was broad daylight and no one dared to contact him. He deliberately stayed in the suburbs of Qi County, but no one came to find him at night.

Tomorrow is the time to entertain the Wang family. Zhao Wen returned to Jinyang City in frustration and told Cui Che that the trip was fruitless.

"Go down and rest first."

Cui Che sent Zhao Wen back to his residence, feeling calm.

Zhao Wen was not the only one who returned in vain. The indifference of the people in Taiyuan made many investigators run into a wall. Without their cooperation, it would be really difficult to figure out the actual distribution of land in Taiyuan County.

In the main hall of the government office, Yang Guang said puzzledly:
"I sent people to investigate the distribution of land, and I wanted to make decisions for the poor. Why are they willing to hide it for the Wang family?"

And Cui Che didn't understand this truth until today, the two of them are alone, there are no outsiders, and the rest of the staff have already been pushed back, Cui Che sighed:

"If we're here to kill the Wang family, maybe someone will secretly provide clues.

"But this time it's just to investigate the fields and hidden households, not to bring down the Wang family. Whoever dares to take the risk of contacting the investigators will not be afraid that the Wang family will find out who revealed the truth afterwards.

"Besides, Your Highness has just arrived in Jinyang, and his trust has not yet been established. Although he intends to return the land to the people, the people don't know His Highness's intentions, and they are even more afraid that the land will be taken back by the Wang family in the future. Therefore, they have good intentions, but no one appreciates them."

Yang Guang was silent when he heard the words, the gentry family is not indestructible, Qi Hu Erzhu who was in power at the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty almost slaughtered the Hongnong Yang family, but he could not bear the consequences.

There are more or less relatives among the noble families, such as the Cui family of Boling. Although the Li family of Zhaojun is the closest to them in marriage, Cui Che himself also has relatives of the Wang family. The mother of his younger uncle Li Yuanjian is not from Taiyuan Wang.

Everyone can understand that the Yang family slaughtered the Yuwen family, but killing the Wang family for no reason, naturally, the rabbit died and the fox was sad. This is a major event that can shake the foundation of the society.

Don't you see, in the future the prophecy that the Li family will be popular will only kill Li Mu and his family, instead of taking the entire Longxi Li family and Zhaojun Li family.

But Cui Che didn't have other options, he whispered to Yang Guang, and Ah Guang finally showed a smile on his face.

On the second day of April in the first year of Emperor Kaihuang (581), the bathing holiday every five days came, and Yang Guang held a big banquet in the official residence.

Although King Jin's banquet was not a good one, it couldn't be a Hongmen banquet either. All the important figures of the Taiyuan Wang family who received the invitation were all there.

The official building is connected to the government office. When people passed the gate of the government office, they were very curious when they saw a big drum suddenly appeared.

The general manager's mansion is not a yamen for breaking prisons and hearing lawsuits, and the grievance drum will not be opened until the Northern Song Dynasty. Naturally, the royal family members don't know what the intention of this move is.

But the banquet was still held as scheduled, but many people complained from the bottom of their hearts that King Jin's banquet was too plain.

It's not that Yang Guang is stingy, there is wine and meat at the banquet, but there is no silk and bamboo orchestral music, and there are no singers and dancers to add to the fun.

During the banquet, Cui Che smiled and toasted with all the faces with rosacea, including many distant relatives.

The Wang family in Taiyuan has rosacea handed down from their ancestors. People in Jiangdong call it the "King of King". During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a branch living in Jiangnan was wiped out by Liu Yu. Zha Bi believed that he was a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and married his niece to him.

It was only later that Lu Gui, a southerner, defected to the Northern Dynasty, claiming that Wang Huilong was the illegitimate son of a recluse, but happened to have a rosacea, so he pretended to be the Taiyuan Wang family.

The authenticity of Wang Huilong's identity was not even known to the people at the time, but what is certain is that rosacea is indeed a distinctive feature of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Cui Che couldn't help secretly rejoicing that the Boling Cui family didn't have this dominant inheritance, so he made up his mind that he would never marry a woman from the Wang family.

Although it cannot be said that the Wang family members all have rosacea, what if they are tricked.

After thirty days of drinking, the atmosphere was still lively. Yang Guang raised his glass again and said with a smile to everyone:
"Father ordered me to go out of town and prefecture. The first important thing I explained was to check the land and hidden households. I dare not live up to my father's expectations. I have sent my confidantes to visit for days, but nothing has been found. All are full of praise.

"I never thought that the gentry from all over the world would invade the public land and make a good deal. I am the only one who merges the state and takes care of myself. This must be the merit of all the sages. Please have a drink with Gu."

The members of the Wang family didn't understand his intentions, and the stupid people even thought that they had passed the test, so they raised their cups to drink together.

When he was having a good time, Yang Guang put down his wine glass and sighed:

"However, the court minister doesn't know the truth, if he finds nothing in Bingzhou alone, and his father blames him, so what should he do!"

The person in charge who was temporarily elected by the Jinyang branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan heard the words, got up and said:

"Although the Wang family passed on their poems and books to the family, their ancestors accumulated and also had property. Jinyang Fang is willing to respond to the imperial court's call with [-] mu of land from their ancestors."

The person in charge elected by the Qi County branch immediately agreed and was willing to cede [-] mu of land.

Everyone in the Wang family knew that part of their interests had to be ceded this time. After all, this was Yang Guang's first time working on an errand.

Yang Guangming said he was good on the face and laughed heartily, but he was furious in his heart. The entire Wang family in Taiyuan only gave out [-] mu of land. This was clearly dismissing him as a beggar. Could it be that these people really thought that they had never invaded the land of the people.

While toasting and exchanging glasses, Yang Guang gestured to Cui Che with his eyes, Cui Che nodded in agreement, put down the wine cup, apologized to Yang Advertisement, got up and left the table under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Brother Che has already used the trick of urination escape by heart.

　I have a cold again, so I will take a break first, and tomorrow's two chapters should be posted at night.
