MTL - The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family-Chapter 516 The stakes are high

   When she asked this question.

  The uncle shook his head, but did not answer.

  Looking towards the west with good-looking eyebrows and eyes, the cold light in the eyes is flickering, which seems to have deep meaning.

  Yan Yu lowered her head, feeling the strength and temperature of her uncle's palm.

  The hands of the Yan family are all beautiful, slender, straight and well-defined.

Only the word "soft" and "soft" can't be related. Uncle, father, mother, elder brother, elder sister, and her all have calluses on their hands. Everyone's position is different. Some are due to work, and some are due to holding a pen. The reason is because of holding a bow...

  Her fingers slowly sketched the hard part of the uncle's hand.

  The place between the fingers is left with a pen all the year round.

  This place... was the last time when Beirong came, the uncle injured his hand when he drew his bow continuously.

   One large and one small walking slowly, Yan Huaiwen recalled the past about Xizhou Prefecture.

   King Qi rebelled!

  The lineage of King Qi is the closest to the current lineage.

The old king of Qi came from the same mother as today, and he was the eldest, but he was mediocre and unusable, which was disliked by the first emperor. When the first emperor was alive, he did not divide the feudal title. It was not until the present day that he succeeded, that the elder brother of the same mother was granted the title of king of Qi. , enfeoffing a prefecture in Xizhou is not disrespectful.

  The old king of Qi passed away, and he had more than a dozen heirs. There were two direct descendants, and the eldest son succeeded the king of Qi.

  The young king of Qi is vigorous, smart and capable, unlike the old king of Qi, who is not very concerned about the fiefdom, but is ambitious, and has repeatedly intervened in the government affairs of the Xizhou government.

   There are still a few years before King Xiao Qi's rebellion. Since he was rebellious in his heart, and his plans will not happen overnight, he vaguely remembers that after King Xiao Qi's defeat, he seized several private mines...

  He is an important person in the source of troops, and an important person in mining and iron making.

  In ordinary years, people will not leave their household registration, but in a famine year, there are many people fleeing from famine. If you want to intercept people, this is the best time.

  During the drought this year, Qishan Mansion played early. During the disaster, several warehouses were opened to distribute relief food.

  But the drought has spread far and wide, not only in Qishan Prefecture, but also in Leshan Prefecture and Xizhou Prefecture.

   Until the end of the drought, the number of dead people reported by the three prefectures was shocking.

   It is not known how many people here died in the famine, and how many people were deliberately hidden.

   It was also the disaster this year that gave Xizhou an opportunity to accumulate strength. When King Xiao Qi was ready, it was time for a rebellion.

   The disaster cannot be appeased, the longer it drags on, the more difficult it is to control the situation.

  It would be the best if we could expose King Xiao Qi’s rebellion before he rebelled. On the contrary, if the war is raging and natural disasters are frequent, the court will inevitably lose sight of one and lose the other, and the people will suffer unspeakably.

  …

  Yan Yu followed Uncle Xue to Zongqi.

Hu Ju's frontier army failed to defend the city, and he didn't have the face to listen to the order to receive the reward, but Xue Zongqi had to come again, and the pensions of the brothers who died in the battle fell here. He had deposited some money for emergency before, and the big head had to wait for the court to pay the compensation This silver reward.

  So Xue Zongqi's actions are very low-key, falling behind Mr. Tian everywhere, being questioned about his head, and saying as little as possible, trying to make himself a clumsy, honest and responsible border general.

   It was quite effective, Eunuch Li didn't even look at him, and most of his attention was on Mr. Tian.

   "Let me deliver the official documents for you?" Xue Zongqi asked, pointing to his nose.

  Every time he meets this Yan Hushu, he has to work hard. It is Yan Huaiwen who puts too much pressure on people.

"Yanhu's book affairs are too busy, so don't others also have time?" Xue Zongqi was puzzled: "It's just to deliver official documents to Qishan Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture, and there is no need for a few clerks to send one or two clever yamen servants." That’s it in the past, there are precedents for refugee resettlement, since people have already settled down, it’s a matter of changing the register, this trivial matter, the two governments will never be in trouble, right? Let the frontier army go for you..."

  Thanks for your thinking.

   As soon as the words came to his lips, Xue Zongqi didn’t have the time to complain directly, but turned around: "...Yeah, it’s not impossible, but my frontier army has the responsibility to defend the border, so I don’t want to leave rashly. This...you have to issue an order from above..."

   "The Huju county government is short of manpower, please trouble Zongqi Xue to go there personally, the county government will take care of the transfer of orders." Yan Huaiwen said.

  Xue Zongqi:...

   Really heard it right, not to let the frontier army send someone casually, but let him go in person?

  This...why? !

  His doubts were written all over his face.

  Yan Huaiwen didn’t confuse him for too long, starting from meeting bandits on the way to escape from famine...

   Xue Zongqi became more frightened the more he heard it.

  Mountain bandits kidnap and sell people, suspected private soldiers are chasing after them, a team of hundreds of people, all equipped with pommel horses...

  He looked at the token that Yan Huaiwen had been hiding all along, the real pure copper refining...

  Xizhou inquired about this group of people not long ago...

  The information revealed in it is shocking!

  Everything is pointing to a possibility, a possibility that he dare not think about.

   Xue Zongqi swallowed hard.

  He stood up quickly, took a few steps to the window, and opened the window wider. The cold wind slapped his face, which was chilly, but not as cold as his heart.

   Guarding Huju for many years, Beirong Head Office is adjacent to Xirong Guard Office.

  What's going on over there, even if he doesn't know a lot, he knows a little bit.

  Compared with Guanzhou, Xizhou is outrageous.

   It’s not that Xirong doesn’t come, it’s that it’s not as loud as Beirong’s. They make small noises and can’t think deeply, can’t think deeply!

  It’s fine if you don’t think about it, but if you think about it, it’s full of holes, full of flaws…

   "King Qi...does he really have that thought?" Zongqi Xue asked in a very low voice, for fear of scaring himself.

  Yan Huaiwen signaled him to sit down, and Xue Zongqi hurriedly sat back obediently, with nowhere to put his two extra hands, so he had to put them on his knees, rubbing them back and forth.

   "We can't be sure yet, so Mr. Xue should pay more attention to everything when he is going... Once there is a change, the tiger is in a vital position, it must be a conspiracy, and we have to guard against it." Yan Huaiwen showed a bit of solemnity.

   Xue Zongqi clenched his hands tightly on his knees.

   "How sure is Yan Hushu?" He asked in a deep voice.

  Yan Huaiwen shook his head and said: "It's better to be wrong than to let it go, the matter is of great importance, and we must not take chances!"

  Xue Zongqi pondered this sentence over and over again, chewing carefully.

He lost his mind for a moment, and then murmured: "Yes, we can't take chances. This is too big a matter for us not to think about it. We just need to think about it and prepare early. It's too wrong, too wrong!

  Xizhou, Xizhou...King of Qi...

  Xizhou Army...The last time the beacon was lit, the Xizhou Army came to help, and soon there were many people...

  This is not right, there are too many people, in order to get more food and grass for Huju, it exposed the number of troops they stationed near Huju...

  When Xizhou is in chaos, Guanzhou is bound to send troops...

  They... are guarding against us!

   I have to go and see, take a good look! "

   The more Xue Zongqi muttered, the clearer his mind became.

   "Yan Hushu, please send the official document as soon as possible. I will return to the camp to prepare and leave earlier." Xue Zongqi couldn't sit still, and wished to leave immediately.

  …
