Chapter 2363: Who is related to whom?
When Hu Du arrived at Dianmao, the Chengdu government office, he saw that many officials had gathered near the official building early, and all of them had solemn expressions.
??Hu Du took a slight breath and didn''t ask anything. He turned around and nodded first. Then he was summoned by the soldiers and went to see Dong He.
On both sides of the main hall, some officials were queuing up with written documents waiting for Dong He''s approval. When they saw Hu Du coming, everyone nodded and bowed to pay tribute to Hu Du. Regardless of whether this official position was compared with that of Hu Du. , is it high or low?
Two days ago, Hu Du was just a small village chief in Cheguancheng. But now, even the stupidest people know that Hu Du''s future is bound to be limitless. Regardless of whether he knew him before or not, just say hello or something. It’s got to be done…
Hu Du smiled and nodded in response, and then entered the main hall.
?Although Hu Du''s position has not changed yet, because Xu Shu needs to make final adjustments, the number of errands on hand has increased, which is in line with current needs.
???Among the newly added errands, the most important one is Chengdu''s outer perimeter defense. From Qianqiu Pond to Wudan Mountain, from the Timber Pier to Wanli Bridge, a patrol must be carried out every day...
Don''t underestimate such armed patrols. In Chengdu, which has just experienced turmoil, it can indeed play a very important role in stabilizing people''s hearts. And armed forces like Fox Du are almost a deterrent force in Chengdu. Dong He entrusting such matters to Hu Du is naturally equivalent to giving his back to Hu Du''s guards.
?After a while, Hu Du came out with the latest order. This time, he did not say hello to the officials outside the hall. Instead, he raised his head and strode away. Then he arrived at the school ground and gathered his troops.
The new mission was sent quickly from Xu Shu...
?????????????????????????????
?The Li family in Guanghan confessed that the Qin family and Ren family in Mianzhu were involved in the rebellion, and their homes were immediately captured and confiscated!
The Qin family has nothing to say. Qin Mi followed Li Miao waving flags and shouting that no matter how he died, he was not unjust. He had been imprisoned long ago and his house was ransacked, but the Ren family...
The fact that Ren was implicated in this case really surprised many people.
??Although the native place of Ren family is in Mianzhu, Ren family also has Zhuangzi near Chengdu, which is located in the northeast of Chengdu. This is where Hu Du wants to copy.
In the city of Chengdu, due to the restrictions of a large city and a small city, generally speaking, the courtyards are not large. However, in the suburbs outside the city, there are no restrictions on the courtyards, so there is no need to be frugal in the use of land. The scale is quite grand. If those in later generations are allowed to live in Tianluo When you see the cheap real estate businessman who runs the dojo there, you will inevitably feel heartbroken.
The Ren family in Mianzhu is currently headed by Ren An.
Before Ren An, he was unknown.
When Ren An was young, he studied under Yang Hou. He worked diligently and excelled in his studies. Later he went to Luoyang, the capital, to study at Imperial College. After achieving success in studying the Five Classics, he returned to Mianzhu. He was invited by the prefect of Shu County to serve as a meritorious officer, and he was recruited by the governor of Yizhou to serve in the government. Soon he resigned and began to recruit apprentices. Then his reputation became more and more famous. Although he was not known as "Three Thousand Disciples", he later There were also calls for Taiwei. Even after Liu Yan arrived in Sichuan and Shu, he treated him with courtesy and recruited him as an official. However, Ren An still refused, and his reputation became more and more shining.
Before Liu Yan officially broke with the imperial court, Liu Yan specifically recommended Ren An, saying, "An Wei is a refined Taoist, strict and lofty, and he is worthy of his ability. He is the treasure of the country and should be used as an assistant to clear up doubts and eliminate unusual situations." The blame…”
Later, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong didn''t know whether he didn''t receive the seal or didn''t have time to pay attention to Sichuan. Anyway, he didn''t reply in time. But because of this incident, Ren An''s reputation became even bigger, and many students in Sichuan They are all proud of their disciples...
This is the classic model of the operation of the Han gentry''s children trying to climb up the hierarchy. Some of them work well, and they are the glory of several generations; Leave a little legacy, as for the third generation, just two words, haha. This is not to say that these second and third generations must be so stupid and incompetent, but as long as these second and third generations relax a little, or even make a wrong step at a certain node, the efforts they have put in to climb up will disappear in an instant. Nothing.
??Ren An''s ancestors did not have any decent sages. Ren was just a moderate landowner in Mianzhu. He could not die of hunger, but he was not considered a high-class person.
? Ren An is very smart, so even if he has not yet formed the concept of class, it does not prevent him from choosing the easiest way to improve his class -
read.
And chose the "Jinwen Jingxue" which is the easiest and most productive.
Ren An To some extent, he succeeded.
??Ren An knew that fame and fortune were related, but also contradictory, so after holding an official position for a while, he quit the job and began to recruit disciples...
The process of this operation is similar to that of various Internet influencers in later generations.
Drainage and solidify powder.
Ren An did not choose to cash out in his generation, but chose to continue to stabilize and successfully created a framework belonging to the Ren family. As long as Ren An''s son can continue smoothly...
Of course, in history, there was only this generation of Ren An, and the next generation did not leave any information at all. Perhaps it was because Ren An''s descendants failed to keep themselves when the Ren family expanded, or they encountered people like It''s the current situation.
??The Li family in Guanghan bit out the Ren family to participate in the rebellion!
Dong Yun did the house confiscation in Chengdu. Those were just Dong He''s attacks on his son and saw blood. However, Dong Yun cannot be really bound to the word "house raid" forever. Together.
So the action this time was naturally carried out by Hu Du.
Ren''s Zhuangzi is more than twenty miles away from Chengdu. Hu Du arrived quickly with his men and horses galloping.
But when Hu Du arrived in front of Ren''s Zhuangzi, he saw that there was already a mess outside Zhuangzi. Many utensils were pushed down on the small square in front of Zhuangzi''s gate, as if they were used as roadblocks, and as if they were not used. The horse was formed, the gate of Zhuangzi was closed, and there were some strong men shouting something on the wall of the village.
?Seeing this scene, Hu Du had some doubts in his heart...
You must know that the order to copy the Ren family went directly from Xu Shu to the hands of Dong He. After Hu Du received the order, he did not delay at all and directly ordered his troops to come here. And now it seems that this Ren family Zhuangzi The people inside seemed to have received the news earlier than themselves, and even had some "preparations"?
During the process of conveying this order, Hu Du believed that Dong He would not delay deliberately, and there was no need to do such a thing. Then it is somewhat interesting how the news of the Ren family came about, and what is even more interesting is that in the Ren family Zhuangzi People actually want to "resist arrest"?
It turns out that Hu Du was still thinking about whether he needed to be a little more restrained. After all, he was just capturing and ransacking the house, and did not say that he wanted to kill him on the spot, nor did he want to massacre Zhuangzi. But what are the people in Ren''s Zhuangzi thinking now?
?Spying on the orders in the army, stubbornly resisting arrest, no matter which one it is, it is enough for Ren to drink a pot!
??Moreover, under such a situation, if Hu Du still holds on, he may become a burial object of the Ren family!
Hu Du frowned slightly, and then without issuing any pre-war mobilization, he pulled out his sword, pointed it at Zhuangzi, and shouted to the left and right: "Knock on the door of the village immediately!" Anyone who dares to resist with weapons in the village and refuses to obey orders will be killed without mercy! 』
Everyone in the military school following Hu Du took orders loudly, roared forward, and formed a slight formation in a frontal arrow formation. When they rushed to the small square of Zhuangzi, the team split into three parts and one part. Arriving at the village gate according to the original march, the other two roads were opened to the left and right, and they began to ride their horses around the village wall. At the same time, they also took off their bows and crossbows, aiming at the village wall, ready to shoot at any time.
?The soldiers who entered the square began to jump off their horses and clear the so-called "rejection horses" in the square, or it would be more appropriate to say "roadblocks".
Hu Du, on the other hand, led a small team to press the formation from behind. When carrying out this task, Hu Du had no pride in fighting in battle, no excitement in his heart, only doubts.
?Does this kind of resistance make sense? The people of the Ren family must have been in a hurry. Although there were many barriers, they were in a disorderly manner. The debris in the square was quickly cleared away. While cleaning up these debris, I also found a relatively thick log as a bumper. After calling the door and no one answered, I just threw the log directly to the village gate!
There were a few loud bangs, and the village gate was already crumbling. At this time, villagers appeared from the walls on both sides. They seemed to be preparing to throw arrows, or throw earth and rocks outside the wall. They had already been prepared. The military academy suddenly shouted: "Shoot!" 』
Arrows and crossbows roared.
A series of wailing screams sounded from the village wall.
Following that, there was another loud noise, and then with a rattle, the village door was knocked open...
"Enter! 』
The soldiers attacking from the front didn''t have time to clean up the many debris behind the door. They just used their shields to knock it open, or used their spears to push it away, and then quickly opened a path. The cavalry behind them shouted loudly, and everyone rushed forward, rushing into the village. In the door, he quickly shuttled back and forth between the retreating villagers and guests, driving them to different corners of the area.
At the same time, the cavalry on both sides running around the wall to seal off the area also sounded warnings, or simply slashed with their swords to force back the people who were trying to escape from the side of Zhuangzi.
Because Ren''s Zhuangzi is usually used for teaching. There are ordinary students who stay to study, and there are also many Zhuangding disciples. At this moment, there are really many people in Zhuangzi, at least four or five. Hundreds of people. But so many people are like four or five hundred sheep, bleating, being driven from here to somewhere, and then bleating from the other side and running to this side. But what is interesting is how these people run. None of them will run into the range of Fox Du''s men''s swords and guns, just like these swords and guns have an invisible fence...
After about an hour, the people in Renzhuang were basically under control. Those who tried to resist with weapons were killed on the spot. Blood overflowed. The thick smell of blood made those "bleating sheep" become more and more attracted to each other. Snuggling, curling up together.
Hu Du did not enter the village, but stood outside the village and commanded, "Strictly guard all intersections and watch every door!" Send someone to report to Yousi immediately, and quickly send officials to come and conduct an inventory! 』
?It only took about an hour to capture Renzhuang, but the follow-up search of homes, head counts, and escorting of personnel was busy until late at night...
Hu Du has been keeping watch here with his people. When the sun rises again the next day, the inventory in Renzhuang has come to an end. When he got the final list, Hu Ducai was slightly moved. Just for the gold and silver coins, Zhuang Naiguang had thirty to forty thousand gold and silver coins in his cellar, as well as many gold and silver ingots, and many more. Gold and silver utensils…
Hearing this number, Hu Du couldn''t help but be stunned. There was so much gold and silver in Zhuangzi, which was not that big. If it was extended to Sichuan and Shu...
Not to mention those belongings that are difficult to count at a moment’s notice.
?At the same time, this is just a Chengdu Zhuangzi belonging to the Ren family. If it were really in Mianzhu, I don’t know how much money there is, how many land deeds, house deeds, and various hidden household registrations!
Three thousand disciples, is it so easy to earn?
Although Hu Du himself is also from a noble surname, from a certain perspective, among the current Han Dynasty, there are very few direct descendants of the local noble surnames who go to the front line to fight. Only people like Hu Du, who have some food and drink, but Only those who have no better future will lick the blood from the blade.
So Hu Du didn''t have much money at home. Hu Du took this list and seemed to understand something, but more doubts emerged in his heart...
In the Political Affairs Hall of Chengdu.
The first place on the page is vacant, which means that although Xu Shu is no longer here, he is still the official in charge of this place. Dong He sat on the second seat slightly sideways, half facing the first person, and half sideways facing the people below.
There were more than a dozen officials, big and small, with different expressions. Some were excited, some were hesitant, some were squinting and smiling, and some were concentrating with their eyes closed. Although there were not many in number, it seemed as if all the beings in the world had fallen into the hall for a moment. generally.
??Originally, when Li Miao invaded Chengdu, the bloodstains around the political hall had already been cleaned away, but now, it seems to have begun to linger under everyone''s nose, revealing a murderous atmosphere.
After the news of Ren''s house being confiscated reached Chengdu, these officials, big and small, gathered involuntarily at the political hall, asking for an audience, handing out notes, and looking for someone. Finally, Dong He simply asked these people to come together. Face to face in the hall...
A middle-aged scribe stood up, cupped his hands and said, "The Li family of Guanghan has acted against the will and is unpardonable. This is natural... But now, the Ren family, with just one word, is rounding up and capturing, confiscating their homes and liquidating their property. It''s not a big deal. I hope Duke Dong will be merciful so as not to chill the hearts of the people of Sichuan and Shu! 』
Dong He glanced at it and said, "Is Du Guofu willing to protect the Ren family with his wealth and life?" 』
"Um? This..." Du Wei suddenly took a breath of cold air. What do you mean? Do you mean to get rid of me too?
?Du Wei spoke up for Ren because Du Wei once studied under Ren An.
In later generations, there is often a saying, "Today I am proud of something, and tomorrow I will be proud of something." Regardless of whether the person who said this believes it or not, HR will laugh secretly after hearing this. , but it is enough to explain the current situation.
?Du Wei is not a fool. He also knows that there are risks in speaking out like this, but the problem is that he has to say it!
?The so-called "speaking out for justice" may actually mean speaking out for "profit".
The scriptures of the Han Dynasty pay attention to an orderly inheritance, that is, which family the knowledge came from and the person who taught it must have a traceable context, so that the inheritance of the family scriptures can be recognized. In fact, this is a bit like bloodline. You have to check three generations of ancestors. Even like Liu Bei, if you really can''t find a name, you still have to rely on someone as much as possible...
It can be said that Du Wei and others are closely related to the Ren family to a certain extent. The more they admire Ren An, the more orthodox Du Wei''s knowledge is. The greater the reputation of Ren An, it means that Du Wei can use the Ren family as the source of his own Confucian classics inheritance in the future. But now the Ren family has been sentenced to treason. This is called Du Wei and others, a group of people who were once under Ren An. How can the children who are studying be embarrassed?
『Guo Fu’s words are wrong! Zhou Qun stood up and said with a half-smile, "What we are doing here is to punish the national thieves and eliminate the rebel bandits. How can we ignore the national affairs because of personal affairs?" ! The corruption everywhere in Chengdu today is all caused by the collusion of these thieves, who disregard the lives of the people and plot great rebellion! If the Ren family is pardoned, how can the people of Chengdu be at peace and where can their anger be quelled? 』
Zhou Qun, it can be regarded as a family tradition. His father Zhou Shu also studied under Yang Hou.
so…
?? Are the colleagues friends or enemies? The relationship between Zhou Shu and Ren An, Zhou Qun and Du Wei is just normal...
How many times had Du Wei laughed at Zhou Qun overtly or covertly before? But now Zhou Qun responded with double and double digits!
?One is Du Wei and Du Guofu, and the other is Zhou Qun and Zhou Zhongzhi. They are all well-known names, but they make a perfect pair. They are not enemies more than enemies.
Dong He didn''t answer Zhou Qun''s words. He just looked at Du Wei and said lightly, "Du Guofu, are you willing to protect the Ren family with your wealth and life?" If you really want to do this, you can write a military order..."
"Hiss..." Du Wei took another breath, and then angrily tossed his sleeves and said, "I thought that Mr. Dong was benevolent and virtuous, and loved the people like a son, but he never thought that he was also...such a confuse of right and wrong. Such an official would just not do it. ! 』
After saying that, Du Wei took off the Jinxian crown from his head, slapped it heavily on the ground, then threw the seal and ribbon on the ground together, and then walked out of the lobby with his sleeves waving...
