Everyone in the Yiwei Family Affairs Hall was excited by Wei Xuan's annihilation of the Huo Shan bandits. When they saw Wei Xuan, they naturally greeted Wei Xuan warmly. Only Pei Sheng, who was reading the county diary brought back by Wei Xuan, sat there with a frown on his face.

Wei Tong and Wei He were very curious as to what could be more important than celebrating at this time. Wei He quietly came to Pei Sheng and picked up a bamboo slip that he had just seen.

After just a few hasty lines, Wei He looked at his brother Wei Xuan with wide eyes and murmured: "Is this... are these all true?"

Wei Xuan nodded solemnly, and everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused. At this time, Wei Su, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, said: "He'er, give everyone a share of the bamboo slips."

Wei He nodded and then picked up the bamboo slips placed beside Pei Sheng's case and came to Wei Su's case first. Wei Su waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it and would give it to others first.

After Wei He distributed the bamboo slips, he came to Wei Tong. He wanted to leave with his third brother quickly, but was stopped by Wei Su: "You two should stay and listen."

The two had no choice but to sit down under Wei Xuan, while Wei Tong looked at Wei He with an annoyed look. Originally, he wanted to leave when his father taught the second brother a lesson, but now the core members of the Wei family have to discuss important matters, and this bothers him the most.

.

Everyone soon got the bamboo slips in their hands. These were collected by members of the White Tiger Hall over many years and included records of actual visits during this period. Everyone changed their colors when they saw it. After reading it, they exchanged bamboo slips with each other, and soon everyone was basically

After Wei Xuan finished browsing the county diary that he had worked so hard for during this period, he saw that everyone's expressions were getting more solemn.

Wei Zheng looked at the crowd. Today, except for Wei Tong and Wei He, the two minors in the conference hall had the lowest status. He could only take the lead to speak and make some comments: "So it seems that Taiping Road will sweep Hedong in a matter of seconds. As a member of the Wei family,

The No. 1 family in Hedong will definitely become the main target of Taiping Dao. Zhong Dao's decisive decision in Huoshan was a shock to the mountain, but it also alarmed the snake! Zheng thought that the Wei family should shift the target. The forces in the court analyzed by Zhong Dao before were all possible. I

I agree, but the Xiangling incident is really strange. It can make the three parties of Xiangling belong to the foreign relatives, the eunuchs and the scholar group to unite to attack our Wei family. Zheng thought that Wang Juncheng might have received some inspiration when handling the case that day, and it was impossible to say that there would be peace.

The Tao has completely penetrated Xiangling, which means that the Taiping Tao wants to regard Hedong as the next Julu, and Xiangling as the next Guangzong! As the first family in Hedong, the Wei family may be facing the danger of annihilation!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, especially Wei Su and Wei Xuan. However, Wei Su soon showed a smile on his face, and Wei Xuan completely admired Wei Zheng's strategic vision. He was because the fourth master of Qingfeng Village heard that Tang

According to what Tong said, the judgment made based on the relationship between Paiziling, Huoshan and Xiangling on that day was not only supported by those who witnessed many things, but also the intelligence of Baihutang. Wei Zheng simply relied on some records.

Such an almost close result was deduced so quickly.

Everyone understands that the Yellow Turban Army's destruction of wealthy families was unacceptable to a family like the Wei family. Unlike ordinary bandits and bandits who mostly targeted poor people, the Yellow Turban Army contacted the poor people and targeted all wealthy families, including the wealthy family.

People take action. They don't just plunder wealth, they also change the world!

Wei Zheng made a surprising statement and was a little embarrassed to be seen by everyone. Fortunately, Wei Xuan rescued him in time: "Before we went to Huoshan, the head of Qingfeng Village in Huoshan had discussed with Tang Tong and planned to use a trick to rob our grain truck and then move away.

, the migration destination is Wangwu Mountain, and the reward for the Qingfengzhai bandits who fled to Paiziling to commit crimes was 10,000 dan of grain! They were also prepared to be transported directly to Wangwu Mountain. So I agree with the fourth brother’s speculation that Wangwu Mountain is possible

Someone is supporting them, and they are even ready to expand their team quickly."

Everyone looked at Wei Xuan and then at Wei Su. From their expressions, they seemed to see a huge net coming over the Wei family! When everything is revealed, the Wei family may be overturned.

Of course, the Wei family would not be so arrogant as to think that the three forces currently competing in the court - eunuchs, relatives and scholar groups - would unite to deal with the Wei family. If that were the case, the Wei family would have been wiped out long ago!

So the person who can bring the people from the three lineups in Xiangling together to deal with the Wei family is probably the Taiping Dao, or the force that is preparing to use Taiping Dao to benefit. And the Yang family in Xiangling is very likely to be the Taiping Dao.

They were eliminated as roadblocks! In the eyes of these people, the Wei family was just a bigger target than the Yang family.

Wei Cheng could no longer sit still. He stood up from his seat and apologized to Wei Su: "It's all my fault for my incompetence. I wasted more than ten years in vain. In my hands, the White Tiger Hall was reduced to the point where the family was facing a life-and-death crisis.

The crisis was not noticed at all. Fortunately, the sect master had a keen eye, and Zhongdao made a decisive decision to adjust the direction and found out the clues."

Wei Su waved his hand: "Fourth Uncle, this matter is not your fault, it is my responsibility. It has been two hundred years since the Han Dynasty was peaceful. I thought that to bring the Wei family to a new height, in addition to chasing those famous families at home, I also wanted to find partners. These

The White Tiger Hall has made great contributions to the marriage between our Wei family and other families. Our Wei family is also growing in prestige in the country. Although it is not as good as the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong, I think in time we will be able to reach their level.

height, even beyond them.

I think that our Wei family has been married to the Zhong family of Yingchuan, the Xun family, and the Han family of Hanoi in the past ten years. If there is peace and prosperity, these families will definitely be a powerful help for our Wei family to reach the top.

However, the world has changed and troubled times are coming. In fact, some clues can be seen from the two party bans. Although the prestige of the family is also very important, self-preservation in troubled times is the most important. Fortunately, our Wei family has young people like Wen Rong and Zhong Dao.

Man! God will not destroy my Wei family, haha!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this. From a purely family business perspective, the people Wei Xuan's three sisters are marrying now seem mediocre. In fact, both the eldest brother-in-law Zhong Yao and the second brother-in-law Han Hao are very good in the coming troubled times.

He may be the one who pulled the Wei family out of the quagmire by relying on his own abilities, and the third brother-in-law Xun Zhan is a descendant of the Xun family in Yingchuan, and the fourth brother of Xun Yu, boss Cao’s early manager!

Whether it is a peaceful time or a troubled time, these series of actions of the Wei family are quite strategic. Therefore, after hearing that Baihutang had done a lot to facilitate the marriage of his three sisters, Wei Xuan's perception of Baihutang suddenly improved.

many.

Wei Zheng blushed a little when he was praised by the sect leader. He looked at his father and then at his eldest brother Wei Ning. Both of them smiled and nodded, obviously very satisfied with his previous performance.

Wei Cheng also changed his expression. What came to his mind was the scene when the Yellow Turban Uprising was reported three years ago by Baihu Halls from various places. He said: "Blessed by our ancestors, our Wei family has young people like Zhongdao and Wenrong. Since you can all

It seems that I think those sitting here also feel the danger, so why don’t you tell me what to do next?”

"Of course, we must make an immediate decision to cut off the source of Taiping Dao's development and penetration. The patronage and inaction of the county magistrates in the north of the county are the fundamental reason why Taiping Dao can penetrate so smoothly. Those unscrupulous wealthy families who cruelly abuse the people provide a source of supply for Taiping Dao.

Constant believers. I, the Wei family, together with Zhongdao, wrote to the prefect, demanding immediate rectification of the north of the county!"

Thinking of the threats that the Wei family might face, Wei Zheng was a little excited in his words.

Wei Ning glanced at Pei Sheng across from him and said calmly: "The prince is of a tolerant nature and will definitely not agree to it!"

Pei Sheng nodded. He and Wei Ning were the direct subordinates of the prefect Yin De and the two most powerful people in the Yamen of the Hedong prefecture, so they knew the prefect very well.

He was accused of colluding with the Yellow Turban remnants. If he had thought more diligently, the Yang family's death would not have been unexplained, and Yang Feng of the Yang family would not have gathered thousands of people so quickly to seek revenge.

This time such a big thing happened in Xiangling, but he still appointed the county magistrate to go there. The investigation of the case was clear, and the Huoshan bandits were exterminated. In Yinde's view, it was a complete merit, and he definitely didn't want to cause any complications.

After thinking about it, Pei Sheng said: "The day after tomorrow will be the day when the king of the government will ascend to the throne. At that time, Zhongdao will directly take these county diaries and submit them to the king. Brother Wen'an and I will transfer them back. Maybe the king of the government can agree to the choice.

One or two typical people should be rectified."

Wei Xuan's heart dropped when he heard this. What Pei Sheng said was like telling himself not to have too many expectations for Yin De. In this case, should he allow Taiping Road to develop in the east of Hedong?

Suddenly he remembered something else and asked Pei Sheng, "Cousin, what do you think about purchasing grain for disaster relief?"

"I told the prince when you wrote back last time. He didn't agree, but I will try my best to persuade the prince to buy some food from other counties. But you know, although the population in Hedong is large, there are many poverty-stricken areas, especially in poverty-stricken areas.

This is the north of the county, and the treasury is not rich."

"What do you mean by not being rich? Do you want to see things like Xiangling happen again, or do you mean that when Taiping Dao comes into the city, all the money will be used to benefit the thieves?" Wei Xuan couldn't suppress his anger, and even Pei Sheng

If you say that, then the prefect Yin De must have never heard of it.

Wei Su smiled slightly and said: "Zhongdao, Jukai is the owner of Hedong. He knows how many families there are in the county. In addition, Yin Hedong is already frugal, so it may be difficult to buy grain from other places for disaster relief."

The corner of Wei Xuan's mouth twitched. It was already winter. If the Prefecture did not provide disaster relief after the New Year, Taiping Road would definitely spread, and then the Baibo Army would definitely be able to quickly gather tens of thousands of people during the uprising. With Zhang Jiao's example, most of them

People are unwilling to starve to death. As long as there is a glimmer of life, they will not miss it. The power of Taiping Dao to deceive people surpasses the government. Now that the government has given up disaster relief, it is equivalent to giving up the fight for people's hearts and minds with Taiping Dao. So the future of Hedong

What will it be like?
