Linhua County·Hu Mansion
In April, the spring scenery is already strong. In the county town, pedestrians are rushing and the flow of people is dense. Business travelers from all over the north and south can be seen. The market is covered with goods from all directions, with a wide variety of goods.
Great Wei has very few restrictions on women. Although Great Zheng is a little strict, there is still some wind. At this time of year, girls from good families go out in groups and do not avoid actions. On the contrary, Hu Family father and son, on the contrary, returned to the city from the country farm, asked the driver to put down the cattle, and then went to the inner courtyard.
"It's good that you've been studying diligently recently. You didn't make it to Prefectural Examination this time. Don't worry about it."
"As the saying goes, money can make the world go round, and money can control the gods. Hu Family Just one piece of land for you is more than enough. As long as you work hard, there will definitely be no shortage of Masters."
"My child, remember, I was thinking too much before, but I have slowly figured it out during this time."
The father and son had just returned from the farm outside the city. Looking at the large farmland, Dalang Hu Family, who had not had the chance to attend Prefectural Examination, also felt better.
What if someone nearby passed the Examination Student exam and could go to Fucheng to take the Cultivated Talent exam?
Cultivated Talent Provincial Graduate is not as difficult as Examination Student. It is several times more difficult. Even if someone is lucky enough to pass it once, can he still be lucky every time?
I don't know why, but Hu Family Dalang, who was originally not interested in Imperial Examinations, suddenly became competitive when his cousin and his second aunt returned to Linhua County.
That family was obviously orphaned and widowed, but because they were officials, they were several times more powerful than the eldest family!
And my cousin, the daughter of an official, her temperament, appearance, and demeanor are really Heaven Immortal!
If his future wife could be half as good as his cousin, he would be able to laugh out loud in his dreams. Compared with his cousin, several cousins who came from rich peasant backgrounds would be like dirt in the ground.
But how can an ordinary scholar marry such a wealthy official? As my father said, if you want to get a good marriage in the future, you must at least pass Provincial Graduate.
Every time he realizes that he cares too much about his cousin, Hu Family Dalang feels a little ashamed and dare not think about it deeply.
Uncle Hu, on the other hand, doesn't mind this too much, or in other words, he believes in his son.
He coveted the wealth and connections possessed by his sister-in-law's orphaned and widowed mother, but he was afraid of the power of his natal family, so he could only mention his son tactfully. "By the way, your cousin and you are close relatives, and your aunt is also an elder. Unlike an uncle like me who needs to avoid suspicion, at least there are not so many things between brothers and sisters."
"Besides, you are a man after all. Your second uncle only left a bloodline of your cousin and has no heirs. In the future, when your cousin gets married, you will always have to bear the burden of relying on her!"
I just want to tell them that if you hang out with them more, you can take over that huge fortune and the connections of your aunt's family in the future.
Because Uncle Hu is not so short-sighted as to only focus on property, he made this point in the hope that his son can follow the path of his younger brother and change his family background.
According to his stupid mother-in-law's idea, she only wants to swallow up the huge wealth, so there is no need to worry about it. When the niece gets married and the sister-in-law dies, doesn't the property belong to her?
This is not what Uncle Hu wants to see.
No matter how rich you are, if you don't have Provincial Graduate, you are just a landlord. Only someone in your family can be called a squire. If someone is an official, he is an official. The difference is huge.
Connections in the officialdom are very precious and can't be bought with a lot of money. Only by gaining connections and promoting one's family background can one get all the wealth and connections.
Hu Dalang thought for a while and understood what his father meant. This was exactly what he wanted. With his father's advice, no matter what his mother said, it was easy to prevaricate, so he responded, "Kid, remember."
While the two were talking, they had already decided on Xu Tuzhi's strategy.
At this time, a young boy came towards me. Seeing the father and son talking, he shouted from a distance, "Master, we have a visitor!"
Uncle Hu couldn't help but be startled. Where did the visitor come from? It was almost dark. He came up and said, "Who is it?"
With that said, the person has already gone to the living room.
In the living room, candles were lit and tea was served. Cao Yiyan's expression looked gloomy under the bright light, but he was thinking.
"Who ruined my plan?"
Shen Cheng Although he is not his disciple, he is just a confidant, but he is indeed entrusted with important responsibilities and hopes.
Linhua County is next to the Coiling Dragon River, and there is a residual Dragon Vein nearby. Although Dragon Vein has declined, it can be of great benefit if operated properly!
Cao Yiyan did not kill the remnants of the previous dynasty for his own sake, but for the sake of his superiors.
Originally, it was not that Great Zheng could not accommodate the remnants of the previous dynasty. The problem was that Great Wei was in the 484th year of the reign of Zuo, far more than 300 years ago. Its prestige was also heavy, and many people still missed the previous dynasty.
With this soil, there is the foundation for trouble, so we have to clean it up one by one.
But in order to avoid the bad reputation in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and you are on the first day of the new year, I am on the fifteenth day, this kind of liquidation will not affect the ordinary remnants of the previous dynasty, but the people who still have lingering shadows.
Cao Yiyan has great expectations for Shen Cheng's work.
Now we know that Shen Cheng was suddenly killed?
You know, in order to improve the cultivation level of Shen Cheng and make it "Living Array Core" near Linhua County, a lot of investment has been made.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Along with the pain in his body, Cao Yiyan looked a little ferocious. After reciting it several times, he suppressed his anger and then discharged the copper coins.
The copper coin did not fall, but spun in mid-air, and finally landed on the table after a few breaths.
Cao Yiyan looked at it and sneered, "How bold!"
This hexagram points directly to the fox!
No need to calculate it carefully, Shen Cheng becomes Living Array Core, cannot leave Linhua County, kills Shen Cheng, and cannot be separated from the Hu Family of Linhua County.
Combined with the unexpected events of the Dragon Palace, this Hu Family is simply audacious!
Just then I thought about it, the door opened, and Uncle Hu came with his son, saying, "Here, this Daoist priest is here. Hu is really shining. I wonder if you..."
Just as he was about to ask why he came, Cao Yiyan asked coldly, "Hu Yingguang?"
"Exactly." Hu Yingguang felt something was wrong in his heart. This Daoist priest didn't seem to be a visitor. Could it be that he was here to seek revenge?
But Hu Family is just an ordinary big family, an ordinary landowner, some shops don't have much farmland, how can they attract enemies?
Unless... could it be from the second brother's side?
He was not stupid at all. Hu Yingguang had figured out the relationship at this time and was about to speak again when he saw Cao Yiyan put his hand into his arms and took out the difference ticket.
"Listen, Patrol Inspectorate has a bad check, and the thief Liu Qi has confessed that he was hiding in your house. You dare to harbor a foreign thief. The patrol inspector was furious and ordered him to be locked up pending trial."
This blow, the fury of thunder, Hu Yingguang was immediately frightened, and he knelt down as soon as his knees softened. "You are wronged, you are wronged!"
When he knelt down to beg for mercy, his true colors were revealed immediately. Cao Yiyan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "You smell like a fox - if you have been wronged, go to the lobby to appeal."
"Come here, take them all down!" Even Cao Yiyan cannot easily arrest and kill people, but the evidence now confirms that although these people in front of him are human beings, they have become associated with the Hu Family and have enjoyed the benefits. In his opinion, they are already vassals of the Fox Tribe.
Maybe before Shen Cheng was killed, he might just pretend that he couldn't see it, but now that Shen Cheng was killed, the big thing collapsed, and the bad breath in his chest was hard to get rid of. These masters, servants, men, women, and children were all evil obstacles!
With a shout, five real Patrol Inspectorate officials rushed in, holding iron rulers with chains, and everyone in the entire homestead screamed.
"I want to escape now, but it's too late. Where can I escape if I'm here?" Cao Yiyan didn't look at these people at all, his eyes were fixed on one place, he said coldly, and disappeared in the two connected Hu Family houses.
There was a "boom" and thunder sounded.
