  Chapter 2124 Guizi Scroll surrender, available

   Modren was dumbfounded, but after careful reflection, it was indeed the case. Which one of these powerful and evil gentry in this province was not a bullying man and a woman?

  If you don’t do this, how can you make a fortune?

  Relying on the identity of the gentry, he used various means to bully the peasant households, colluded with the government, and then annexed and occupied them. Do you see these behaviors less?

   It’s just to see which of these people are better hidden and which are more unscrupulous.

  Feng Ziying looked at the man lying on the ground indifferently, a little funny.

  This guy is the lord of a village in vain, but he still has such a naive idea. He still thinks it's a frame-up, and he doesn't even think about it. Is it worth it?

"Okay, Modren, instead of thinking about these insignificant things, you might as well think about how to do what you should do well. As for your worries about the future, it's a bit unfounded. Doesn't that person have any blood debts?" Feng Ziying became more and more stern.

"How much disaster did the Ningxia rebellion cause, how much did the court spend to put down the rebellion? Four million taels of silver! The rebel army attacked the city and pulled out the village, and the officials and people were killed and injured. The same? Liu Dongyang, Tu Wenxiu, Xu Chao, Liu Baichuan, these people are still famous in the Northwest Army, and they are still fighting for the court. From Liu Baichuan to the deputy commander, everyone else is also a general. Guerrilla, take down Shandong, and the imperial court will give rewards later, is this a problem?"

Modren's heart moved slightly. Liu Dongyang can be said to be the biggest villain in the three sides and four towns. At that time, he was the leader of the rebel army second only to Qi Bai, and he made a mess of the entire northwest. However, the court actually allowed such a heinous character He has been recruited, and his official position has been restored, and now he has followed Feng Tang to send troops to Shandong to make meritorious service.

   This kind of contrast is too big, but this is a matter in the military. In troubled times, anything is possible. Feng Ziying's father did this kind of thing, and the court seems to be willing to do it, so why is Feng Ziying afraid to do it now?

"But my lord, where should we go if we want to recruit security in the future?" Modren has been persuaded, but still wants to struggle. If he takes this step, he will be the enemy of the Shaanxi gentry, and he will always be nailed on the list of Shaanxi gentry's hatred on.

"Why are you still worried that you won't be able to stay in Shaanxi?" Feng Ziying smiled lightly, "I didn't want to answer your question at first, because you are too ungrateful and indecisive, but it seems that you are somewhat useful in Boyan Village. Just to make an exception and answer you, the places to go are everywhere. The Jianzhou Jurchens in the northeast of Liaodong are eyeing tigers and wolves who dare to fight for meritorious service; The religious bandits are also spreading, as long as the situation is stable, they must be wiped out in one fell swoop, the world is so big, where can't they go? Why are you acting like a woman, looking around at every step, isn't it ridiculous?"

   Feng Ziying's unceremonious words made his face burn. Modren knew his own temperament. Compared with Qiu Zixiong, he lacked this decisive arrogance. His strengths lay in his proficiency in planning and thorough thinking.

   No wonder this Master Feng wanted to talk about himself and Qiu Zixiong separately. Compared to Qiu Zixiong, who had heard his words, his blood was already boiling.

"As for the others, Modren, let's not talk about my father, it's just me. I was born in the Imperial Academy and lived in the fourth grade of an official in my early twenties. If I dare to invite you to Shaanxi to quell the chaos, do you think I dare to come if I don't have a comprehensive plan? Shaanxi Ping The chaotic meeting is a step for my promotion in the future, I hope to be perfect, you and Qiu Zixiong are an important part, do you understand?"

Modren's heart skipped a beat. Only then did he realize that a fourth-rank senior official in his early twenties is going to be a general in the future. How could he not consider this, for fear of damaging his reputation in the slightest? Everything will be taken into consideration, if not so, how can you take it so seriously, and even come here to give yourself such a chance to talk about it?

   "Willing to die for my lord!"

Finally, Modren kowtowed, and with a few bangs, the blue bricks on the ground were almost broken by him. Then Feng Ziying raised his hand, "Get up, once you enter my door, you must obey the order! No one will let me down, I live up to others! I can make you honor your ancestors in the future, or you can destroy your family and family, all in your own mind! As long as you obey the order and don't ask anything, I will naturally make comprehensive arrangements, and I will definitely not make it difficult for you! "

Talking with Qiu Zixiong is much more refreshing than talking with an indecisive man like Modren. Feng Ziying is not very optimistic about Modren, but he is indeed useful now, let's wait and see the aftermath, but Qiu Zixiong is a killer. Decisive, ruthless, and courageous, he is a material that can be made.

"Zixiong, I don't plan to let you and Modren go side by side. Your department will quietly absorb those unwilling people on your own, and you are about to start preparing. I will prepare the rest of the materials, armor and weapons for you. In a few days, you took the lead in raising the flag of rebellion and headed southward, heading straight for Qingjian,..."

  Qiu Zixiong listened very seriously, and nodded with his lips pursed: "Are you going to attack Qingjian City?"

   "No, Qingjian City will stay, but other people in Qingjian don't need to. Besides, you should know the left-handed sons of Qingjian, Wang Zuogui and Miao Renmei?" Feng Ziying asked.

   "I know." Qiu Zixiong felt a little bit bitter, is he going to attack his former allies so soon? But immediately shook his head again to calm himself down.

When he had an incident with Modren, he also communicated everywhere, such as Zuoguizi Wang Zuogui, Fugu Chongtian Wang Jiayin, Hengshan's Buzhantian Zhang Cunmeng, Baoan's Tota Wangshen Yitian, and the lamp Buddha Zhao Si'er further south. , Little Red Wolf Prince Shun, they all have contacts with each other, and they meet to help each other when encountering difficulties, but they didn't expect that their side would change the direction of the wind so quickly.

"It's good to know, Wang Zuogui and Miao Renmei had a lot of quarrels in Qingjian, but they were all playing small games in the countryside, and later they went to activities in Yanchuan. If you go south to fight Qingjian, you don't have to go to Qingjian County. , Qingjian County is not easy to fight. It was reconstructed from the Kuanzhou base built by Zhong Shiheng in the former Song Dynasty. But quite a few, Huaining Village and Suiping Village know about it, right?"

  Feng Ziying's words made Qiu Zixiong's eyes brighten, "I know, Huaining Guo, Suiping Hu, who doesn't know?"

  Huining Village and Suiping Village are not border villages, but two large villages about seventy miles to the north and a hundred miles to the west of Qingjian County.

  Suiping Village is even more famous. At the end of Jin Dynasty, it was once placed in the county. Li Xianzhong, who was as famous as Yue Fei in the former Song Dynasty, defeated the red scarf bandits here when he was an official in Jin Dynasty, and Li Xianzhong was from here.

The Guo family and the Hu family are both well-known and powerful families in Qingjian. They own hundreds of hectares of land, and they are all irrigated fertile fields, with hundreds of tenants. Moreover, the Guo family also has their own blacksmith workshop, The lumber yard, and the Hu family even smuggled salt, and operated oil workshops and mills, which were second to none in Qingjian County.

Although these two villages are just villages, the Guo family and the Hu family organized themselves immediately after the civil unrest broke out. Both families have hundreds of people, and they form villages to protect themselves. Min Zhuang responded, Wang Zuogui attacked the Guo family's Huaining village at the beginning of the incident, killed and injured hundreds of people, but failed to succeed, while Miao Renmei attacked the Hu family's Suiping village, but the Min Zhuang of Qingjian County They came to help, and the Guo family also used all their soldiers to reinforce the Hu family, so Miao Renmei finally felt that she might not be able to fight and gave up.

Therefore, although there was a lot of tossing in the Qingjian countryside, these two families became two banners. After the two battles, the Guo family and the Hu family became so popular that some big families in the surrounding area gathered around the Guo family and the Hu family, actively Handing over the family's elite and family soldiers to the Guo family and the Hu family made Wang Zuogui and Miao Renmei feel more difficult to fight, so they went south to Yanchuan to develop.

In fact, Wang Chengwu also had the idea of ​​the Guo family and the Hu family when the incident occurred in Qingjian, but after judging the situation in the end, he felt that it was not good. In addition, he fought with Wang Zuogui and Miao Renmei, and was kicked out of Qingjian. Yanchuan, Wang Zuogui and Miao Renmei went to Yanchuan later, and together with Li Laochai, a native of Yanchuan, drove Wang Chengwu back to Qingcaowu, Qingjian.

"Well, it is said that the Guo family in Huaining Village has grain reserves of ten thousand stones. The Hu family in Suiping is even more exaggerated. It is said that there are thousands of stones in corn alone, and thousands of stones in wheat. The mill keeps running all day long, and there are thousands of donkeys and horses. This kind of luxurious family can be regarded as a rich man even in the middle of Beijing. But as far as I know, the Guo family in Huaining alone killed more than ten people. The case of Jiao Er widow, Have you ever heard of it?"

  Feng Ziying's question made Qiu Zixiong swallow a mouthful of saliva, "I heard that it was the local chaste widow Jiao Er who seduced the eldest son of Guo's family to become pregnant, and then the widow Jiao Er felt shameless, so she hanged herself."

The widow Jiao Er was the one who set up a chastity archway in Yan'an Prefecture. Her husband was a well-known scholar in the local area. Later, she died of illness. She served her in-laws for many years and raised a posthumous child. As a result, when the child was fourteen years old, she became pregnant again and hanged herself. Died, Wu Zuo found out that widow Jiao Er was pregnant, which caused a great uproar among the people. Later, her parents-in-law filed a lawsuit in court, claiming that she was raped and taken over by Guo Yongfu, the son of the Guo family. Later, the Qingjian County Government tried the case, and it became the seduction of widow Jiao Er. Guo Yongfu was ashamed to see others and committed suicide. His son also fell into the water and drowned. One of his parents-in-law went crazy and the other disappeared.

   This case caused a great sensation in Yan'an Mansion, and later it was retried in Yan'an Mansion, but all the witnesses testified that the widow Jiao Er had seduced Guo Yongfu many times, and finally she was pregnant and ashamed to see others hanged herself, so the case was closed.

Well-informed people also know that there must be tricks here, but the magistrate of Qingjian County has a close relationship with the Guo family, and the county magistrate even took the concubine daughter of the Guo family as a concubine. It is difficult to overturn the case, so we can only do things hastily.
