Chapter 124: Conspiracy

There have been countless incidents of killing people and killing their families, as well as taking their wives and daughters as concubines and slaves to provide for lust and pleasure in the past few decades; it is extremely rare for strong women who are truly unwilling to be humiliated and die with the enemy and thieves.

After all, as long as you are a human, you will have a strong desire to survive.

Therefore, Han Qian kept Mrs. Xi by his side, Gao Shao, Tian Cheng and others just thought that they should keep a close eye on the initial stage and wait for their decisive intention to be eliminated slowly. They did not think that even if a desperate woman had practiced her skills, she could really do anything that would thrive.

Seeing that Han Qian left Mrs. Xi in the house for a day and two nights, he told them to go to the craftsman of the Workers' College to create a pair of silver rings and anklets with bells according to Mrs. Xi's ankle size. When Zhao Tinger took a silk thread and measured the size of Mrs. Xi's ankle size, Gao Shao and Tian Cheng and others joked about Han Qian if they wanted them to buy some donkey goods to come back to stew the soup so that they could get into the first day of the junior high school.

Han Qian kicked each of them.

The silver ring anklet bracelet is very convenient to create, so at noon, the Workers' College sent someone to deliver it.

I don’t know if it was Gao Shao and the others who specifically ordered that in addition to being able to be pinned with rivets, the silver bell is actually a two-layer hollow structure, making it difficult to stuff foreign objects to control the bell to ring.

From then on, as long as you could hear the silver bell ringing in the yard, you would know that it was Xi Ren walking.

Seeing Xi Ren lifting his feet and asking the craftsman to hold the anklet to death, Han Qian thought secretly, if he really had any thoughts about Xi Ren, wouldn’t the guards guards guarding in the yard be able to hear the length of time and the intensity of his movements by the sound of the silver bell?

Looking at Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Yang Qin and others stood aside and gave each other a wink, thinking that these guys were probably thinking about the same dirty thoughts. Han Qian thought to himself, why did he come up with this stupid idea of ​​self-destruction?

After the craftsman riveted the anklet to death, Han Qian couldn't wait to ask someone to prepare the horse and go to Guanyuelou for a banquet.

Xi Ren washed up and changed into a skirt. Under the gauze, the flesh color was faintly revealed, and the undulating snow-whiteness appeared above the strapless breasts.

In addition, Xi Ren is two years older than Zhao Tinger, and his body has grown in the places where he should have grown. In addition to his bright and charming face, his round buttocks and straight chest also reveals a more engaging charm.

This made Han Qian feel that putting a silver bell on Xi Ren is a stupid idea.

Xi Ren rode on the horse's back, and his snow-white and slender ankles were exposed under his skirt. As the horse's hooves moved, the silver bell made a crisp sound, which was particularly eye-catching when passing through the streets and alleys.

Xi Ren was still not used to this almost public "humiliation". When she walked into Guanyue Tower, she saw the guests who were having a banquet in the building running over to salute Han Qian, her eyes looked at her so strange, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.

It’s just that her tenacious temperament forces her to fight against this uncomfortable feeling, which also makes her exude a sharp temperament.

Han Qian asked the shopkeeper to empty the Yashe in the backyard of Guanyuelou, and told the shopkeeper that he liked to eat duck and asked the chef here to make a few more duck dishes for him to taste.

Even without the movements these days, as the governor, Guan Yuelou dared not be dissatisfied with this request; Han Qian took the initiative to block the passage of the guards into and out of the backyard Yashe, so that other guests would have the opportunity to come and disturb him.

Xi Ren didn't know what Han Qian's actions meant. Not to mention that Guanyuelou is not famous for being ducks, there are not many families in Xuzhou who raise ducks and birds. He thought to himself, maybe Han Qian really likes to eat ducks in Jinling.

After the Guanyuelou clerk put on a table full of dishes, Gao Shao led two men dressed in straw sandals and mud on their feet to come in. She saw clearly that one of them was actually very close to his brother and that Gao Bao, who brought his brother to the news that Han Qian was killed, had his beautiful eyes wide open.

When Gao Bao saw Xi Ren staring at him fiercely, he felt guilty. He was really worried that Han Qian would point out that he killed Xi Cheng in order to please the beauty, and then handed him over to Xi Ren.

Seeing Xi Ren staring at Gao Bao, Han Qian looked at Xi Ren and said, "Xi Cheng must be loyal to Feng Changyu before he died and be accomplices of the tiger. At that time, the state prison was about to make trouble, so I had to kill him; and Gao Bao sneaked back to Jingyun Village and acted as my orders. It was his secret cooperation that I could capture Ji Kun - if you can't suppress this resentment, there seems to be no need for our cooperation to continue!"

Xi Ren took a deep breath before moving his sharp eyes away from Gao Bao's face. She had never expected that the Han family and son had already ordered Gao Bao and Feng Xuan to use it for them just one day after they arrived in Xuzhou.

Xi Ren is quite familiar with Gao Bao and is usually quite disdainful of his greedy nature. He thought that if he was caught by Han Qian, it would be normal for Han Qian to be greedy and afraid of death. However, Feng Xuan has a good reputation in Xuzhou, so why would he easily betray Shanyue and use it for the Han father and son?

Han Qian signaled Gao Bao, and Feng Xuan sat down and spoke.

Seeing that Han Qian took everything on his head, he did not summon him to kill the beauty, Gao Bao reached out to wipe away the sweat from his forehead, sat down at the table with his butt, and then fell back from his throat with his heart hanging.

When Feng Xuan saw Mrs. Xi present, he heard Han Qian say what cooperation he had with Mrs. Xi, but he was confused. He didn't know what cooperation Han Qian and Mrs. Xi had in secret, and what instructions did he give to him secretly summoned them this time.

Han Qian asked everyone to sit down and before raising their chopsticks to serve the banquet, he said:

"Mrs. Xi promised that within ten years, she would lead the children of the Xi family to be loyal to Zuosi. Feng Xuan, from now on, you will do everything possible to redeem the children of the Xi family who are scattered in various villages as slaves. I will provide all my support for the money needed!"

After hearing what Han Qian said, everyone suddenly realized that Xi Ren was actually the only heir to the Xi family.

Although the Shanyue tribes also have a tradition of inheriting men, the chief's first descendants are not worthy, or there is no male inheritance, and there is no example of the heroine being established.

The most famous one is Xian Zhen, the wife of Qiao Guo who was known as the Holy Mother of Lingnan more than 400 years ago.

The Xi family was once a great family with a powerful family whose power was not weaker than that of the four surnames in Chenxu. However, under the repeated efforts of Ma Yuanheng, Feng Changyu and others for more than ten years, it can be said that it was destroyed at this time. In the end, the remaining tribe members were sold to the places of Chenxu, Shaoheng and other places as slaves.

The Xi family has been destroyed, and the identity of Xi Ren as the heir is useless. But if the children of the Xi family can be brought together again through redemption, wouldn’t the Xi family be reborn again?

At this time, Xi Ren's identity can play a crucial role, making the Xi family's children obey Han Qian's orders.

Feng Xuan's heart was a little bitter. He understood that Han Qian wanted him to come forward to redeem the Xi family's children. On the one hand, he was undoubtedly thinking that he could hide his eyes and ears. But on the other hand, the number of Xi family's children under his command would be more and more gathered. On the surface, Feng Xuan's power in Xuzhou would become greater and greater, but in fact, he was under Han Qian's control and became more and more strict.

In the end, unless Mrs. Xi has a different ambition, he would not expect to get rid of Han Qian's control at all.

When the Xi family was completely captured by Feng Changyu in the sixth year of Tianyou, more than 3,000 tribes were trafficked to various places as slaves.

If this population is placed elsewhere, it is nothing. After all, there are only three or five hundred brave people who can be used for war. However, in Xuzhou, the Xi clan members can be secretly gathered, and finally, the cohesion and centripetal force of the Xi clan members can be re-hidden, and the power that can be re-enclosed in the dark will be a force that cannot be ignored and hidden in the dark.

This is much more realistic and feasible than having Feng Xuan form a force that can compete with the four surnames in Xuzhou within three or four years without much foundation, while being guarded by the four surnames.

Feng Xuan could not refuse, and even if he was unwilling to do so, he could only nod and agreed. Then he talked about Feng Changyu's conversation with him yesterday.

The four surnames could not refuse the conditions proposed by the new governor Han Daoxun, and agreed to accept the formation of a fleet with Feng Xuan and his subordinates, transporting Xuzhou properties to Jinling, and trading with the warehouse belonging to Zuosi. After all, Feng Xuan has led his subordinates to pull fibers next to the Yuanshui River for many years, and there are also shipwrecks and helmsmans who know the water conditions of the ship.

However, in addition to ensuring the existing farming of the village, Feng Xuan transferred out all the men who could use it, not to mention that Feng Xuan did not have a ship that could transport goods.

Feng Changyu found Feng Xuan, and the four surnames would each send two thousand stone ships, equipped with a shipbuilder sailor with a capacity of 100 stones, and combined with the necessary escort, how can eight thousand stone ships require a hundred people to use?

Feng Changyu's advice to Feng Xuan was that Feng Xuan would be given twenty people in Feng Xuan's village, and each of the four surnames would be given twenty people to gather the staff needed to form a fleet. When the wages were calculated, Feng Xuan would receive the money according to forty people.

In fact, he agreed to ask Feng Xuanxu to receive the wages of twenty people for every boat trip.

Based on the power price of two liters of japonica rice per day and ten cents, Feng Xuan can still receive 60,000 or 70,000 yuan in less than half of the year.

This is a huge sum of money in Xuzhou, which is poor and bad. You should know that Feng Xuan’s village, with a small population of 200 people, may not have 30,000 or 180 stones of food in a year.

"I have never asked the young master for advice, so I dare not agree to Feng Changyu casually. I just told Feng Changyu that I would consider it for two days." Feng Xuan said.

"If you go to reply to Feng Changyu, you will say that the four surnames in the fleet can each give ten people, and your village has few people. You should ask the four surnames to sell ten village slaves to you at a low price to make up for the shortage of manpower, but don't deliberately mention the Xi family slaves," said Han Qian. "Also, even if the village slaves are sold at a low price, you have to pay the accounts with the four surnames first."

Feng Xuan's village, regardless of gender, has only one hundred strong laborers. If he can get 40 village slaves at once, his strength will be equivalent to a direct increase of 30 to 40%.

Although Feng Changyu will not sell the entire household slaves to Feng Xuan at a low price, and will most likely sell the family members of the slave slaves to Feng Xuan, forming a certain degree of restraint, but this is not a big deal. After all, these are just the first step; at the same time, we cannot deliberately pick the Xi family slaves and buy them in for the first time.

However, as long as the four surnames do not deliberately guard against Feng Xuan and go to Jinling for a few more ships, Feng Xuan secretly gathered more and more financial resources, and he bought more and more slaves, especially among them, the more and more Xi family slaves, which will soon condense into a new rising force in Xuzhou that is not restrained by the four surnames.

Not only is this force unaware of the four surnames, but even Tanzhou cannot be prepared for it!

Thinking of this, Han Qian was quite proud. He picked up a piece of duck meat with chopsticks, took a bite, frowned and said, "This tastes wrong!"

Gao Shao, Tian Cheng and others were dissatisfied and said, "We specially made people stare at the kitchen, and we also made people tamper with each other?"

"It's because the taste is not authentic, it's not because the medicine is applied. Why are you nervous?" Han Qian picked up another piece of duck braised food, tasted it, and frowned even more. "Last time, I thought about receiving gifts in my heart, but I didn't taste the dishes from Guanyuelou seriously. The braised food was a little sour. It seems that the cooking level of restaurants in Qianyang City needs to be improved in urgent need! Gao Shao, you send Feng Xuan, Gao Bao left, and then call the chef over. I want to ask him where he learned the craftsmanship, it's so rough!"

Feng Xuan and Gao Bao looked at each other, not knowing what Han Qian wanted to do, or was it that the owner of Guanyuelou gave the young master a light gift that day? However, Han Qian had already ordered Gao Shao to send them away, and they were afraid of showing their actions, so they did not dare to stay for a long time, so they retreated first...
