Ye Mansion House...

Shi En was taken to the side hospital to diagnose Xiao Lingzhi's injuries, so Han Mo naturally had no choice but to go with him. He saw many soldiers from the Xiao family mingling with the soldiers of the Han family in the yard. The soldiers on both sides looked at each other coldly, and no one was willing to be at a disadvantage in his face.

However, the treasure houses of several Ye Mansions had long been looted by the Han military advisors and were transported to the military camp. Most of the remaining property in the Ye Mansion could not be transported away.

Han Mo saw Xiao Huaijin, who was anxious and irritable in the main hall, walking back and forth in the main hall. There were many Xiao family generals in the hall, and everyone looked very strange.

As soon as he saw Xiao Huaijin, Han Mo immediately thought that this guy wanted to send someone to get rid of him. He sneered in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said respectfully: "The general broke through the main gate, congratulations!"

Xiao Huaijin was in a mess. When he heard Han Mo's voice, he turned his head and saw Han Mo standing at the gate with a smile. He was shocked. His thoughts were flying like lightning, but he soon showed a strange smile and said, "Oh, isn't this Han Shiniang Nephew? It's too early for your Han family to enter the city. Where is Lord Han now?"

Han Mo said: "After entering the city, my father has been comforting the people. Han Mo doesn't know where he is now."

Xiao Huaijin sneered, "An Min comforted me? Nephew Han Shi, several treasure houses in the Ye Mansion were looted by thieves. Your Han family will not protect them well after entering the city. This is unreasonable."

Han Mo said calmly: "So after the general entered the city, did he pay attention to the treasure house of the Ye family as soon as possible? I really don't know what happened. I guess the Ye family knew that they had perished and had already transported their jewelry and property."

He knew that Xiao Huaijin was both angry and jealous in his heart. The wealth of the Ye family's treasure house was not a small amount. I am afraid that the Xiao family had made the idea of ​​this batch of jewelry before the Ligu Pass was broken, but in the end, they failed to get the treasures, so they were naturally very unwilling to accept it.

No matter how stupid Xiao Huaijin was, he knew that most of the treasures of the Ye Mansion were transported away by the Han family. Even though he knew that this was the case, he couldn't do anything. After all, the Ye Mansion was in the center of Han Ye City and did not belong to any urban area. Any major family is qualified to take advantage of the spoils. The Han family first entered the city, which was their luck.

The Xiao family captured the Dongcheng District of Hanye City, and is now robbing the Dongcheng District, with flames and wailing sounds.

Seeing that Xiao Huaijin was just worried about Zhenbao's whereabouts, Han Mo couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when he saw Xiao Huaijin was just worried about Zhenbao's whereabouts, and at least he wouldn't focus on the treasure at this time.

Thinking of Qin Shan's evasive words when he mentioned the reason for Xiao Lingzhi's injury on the street and the anger that flashed through his eyes, Han Mo was sure that Xiao Lingzhi's injury was not as simple as being stabbed by an assassin.

...

Xiao Huaijin naturally didn't believe Han Mo's words, but just snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

At this time, a general rushed into the yard and said respectfully in front of the door: "Report to the General, Zhao Xiqiao, the county magistrate of Bozhou County, is now waiting for the general in the county magistrate's office, Lord Han, Secretary Su Shangshu and General Ximen are all waiting in the county magistrate's office!"

Han Xuanchang's official position was the Qing official, Su Guanya was the Minister of Personnel, and Ximen Lei Zang was the general of the Wuwei conferred by the imperial court.

The title of generals in Yan State is mostly a symbol of glory, just like the title of civil servants.

Except for the first-class general Xiao Huaiyu who is the real military power of the Northwest Camp, very few other generals who have the military power in the court have military power, but in fact they are not as good as the commander-in-chief of the five camps of the Imperial Guard.

Since the first-class general of Shenwu, there are eight levels of cavalry, chariot and cavalry, military guards, military commanders, Yun commanders, military commanders, and military commanders. Ximen Leizang's military commanders were awarded the title of the fourth-level general.

For example, Han Xuanling, the governor of the Donghai Punishment Army, has the official position of governor, but the title is the general of the military. Compared with Ximen Leizang, it is still one title lower. However, the military power of the Donghai Punishment Army is much stronger than the Wujun Punishment Army.

Xiao Huaijin heard this and asked, "Zhao Xiqiao? Yes, I have seen this person in Beijing. He has bad breath and likes to curse like a shrew. Why? This person is not dead yet?"

"It is said that he was locked in a dungeon by the Ye family. Lord Han just rescued him from the dungeon not long ago. He has already...!" After saying this, he lowered his head and did not continue.

"What's going on?"

"I'm so hungry that I'm not as thin as a human," replied the general: "I heard that I've been locked up for several days, and the rice water has not in. When I came out, I was already dying. According to the people from the county magistrate's office, the Ye family originally wanted to use him to sacrifice the flag, but Ye Wuxun changed his mind and said that the man cut him off with a knife and instead asked his subordinates to lock him in the boss, in order to starve him to death, so that he had no strength to say it."

Xiao Huaijin laughed and said, "That kind of person should be like this." He turned to Han Mo and asked, "Nephew Han Shi, do you know who Zhao Xiqiao is?"

Han Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"He was originally from Bozhou County, and he was a little famous in Bozhou County. After passing the inspection in the county six years ago, he went to Yanjing to participate in the Beijing exam and actually won the top three. After the palace exam, he was respected by the emperor and entered the Censorate. He first entered the Censorate, but he was just a small supervisor. However, he spoke a lot and did not hesitate to say that he repeatedly made amazing words. All officials disliked him, but the emperor liked his personality very much. Within two years, he climbed from a small supervisor, to an imperial envoy, chief clerk, and then to an attendant censor, and finally became the Censor Taichung Chief. Under the cultivation of the sage, it was smooth sailing and the sky was rising straight!" Xiao Huaijin laughed, but his tone was full of disdain.

The civil servant election system of Yan State is very special. The main force is naturally the pawns of aristocratic families, but there are also some talented non-aristocratic children who have entered the court to serve as officials.

Usually, the children of aristocratic families in Yan State are directly recommended as officials, and there is no need to take any exams. However, non-aristocratic families have to conduct county examinations from the county and district. After passing, the county examinations will be conducted by each county. Once passed, the local aristocratic families will record the person in the book and take it as a disciple, and even give them a surname. From this moment on, it has almost become a tool for aristocratic families.

Of course, there are naturally people with strong backbone who refuse to join the aristocratic families and just want to serve the court. Such people are often the target of the aristocratic families' attacks. Some people cannot even participate in the Beijing Examination. Unless they have a great reputation or rank in the third place in the county Examination, the court will pay attention to it. Even if aristocratic families want to move, they have to weigh it. After all, they cannot attack scholars too much. In the end, they will lose the heart of scholars, which will definitely be harmful to the aristocratic families without any benefit.

Zhao Xiqiao was already very talented and ranked first in the county exam. Although he did not join the Ye family, the Ye family also took into account many reasons and did not attack him. Instead, he successfully participated in the Beijing exam and ranked first in the third place.

That was when Emperor Pingguang ascended the throne, he wanted to do something big. He took a fancy to Zhao Xiqiao in the palace examination and promoted him personally and entered the Censorate.

Zhao Xiqiao entered the Censorate, but he was really not in the wrong yamen. This person was outspoken and liked to curse people the most. He was very confident in his talent and cursed the evils of the court from time to time. If it were an ordinary person, it would be enough to be chopped ten times. But for some reason, His Majesty Pingguang favored him very much and promoted him as a confidant. This is true. Although there were so many officials in the court who were dissatisfied with him, no one was willing to risk guilty of the emperor and dealt with him.

In two years, Zhao Xiqiao was promoted several levels and became the second only to the Censor General in the Censorate at the Censorate, which was even more hated by many people.

When he saw the power of the Grand Master rashly being too strong in the court, his good days were over. Grand Master Xiao immediately convened a cabinet meeting to discuss and deal with Zhao Xiqiao's affairs.

Most of the cabinet members were dissatisfied with Zhao Xiqiao, so they finally decided to transfer him to Hanye City as the county magistrate, in fact, they were preparing to kill people with a knife.

Since Zhao Xiqiao became an official in Beijing, he repeatedly denounced the Ye and Wu family for levying heavy taxes in Bozhou County, causing the people to live in misery, and had already formed a grudge with the Ye and Wu family. In fact, if Emperor Pingguang had not secretly sent people from the East Flower Hall to protect him, he would have died in countless assassinations. The cabinet transferred him to Bozhou County as the county magistrate, in fact, to use the Ye family's hands to get rid of this noisy "crow".

But to many people's surprise, Zhao Xiqiao did not suddenly "death from sudden illness" or disappear bizarrely as many people imagined, and continued to be active in the officialdom of Bozhou County.

Compared to when he was in Yanjing, he scolded more and more fiercely, but the Ye family just regarded him as a barking wild dog and ignored it. Moreover, Zhao Xiqiao's order was only limited to the county magistrate's office. After leaving the county magistrate's office, he was no different from a Bai Ding, and the order could be practiced but not understood.

Xiao Huaijin is naturally very familiar with such a person, and he is considered an old acquaintance. He thought the Ye family rebelled, but Zhao Xiqiao, as a county magistrate, was probably killed by the Qiqi long ago, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.

Han Mo said "Oh" and said nothing.

Xiao Huaijin pondered and finally said, "It's an old friend, it's time to meet him." He walked slowly to Han Mo, stopped, and asked with a smile: "Nephew Han Shi, do you want to go and meet him together?"

Han Mo said with a smile: "The general is in charge, and Han Mo dare not disturb him."

A strange look flashed through Xiao Huaijin's eyes, and he came closer and said softly: "Nephew Han Shi, what are the gains in suppressing the rebellion this time?"

"Han Mo doesn't understand what the general means!" Han Mo smiled, but his voice was very calm.

Xiao Huaijin laughed and said, "I always remember the merits and submit them to the court when I look back. The court will reward me according to the merits. If Nephew Han feels that he has something to be considered a merit on the battlefield, he can talk to me. I will remember the merits for you!"

Han Mo sneered in his heart, knowing that this guy was talking, he smiled slightly and said, "Han Mo has no credit, the general is the most credit!"

Xiao Huaijin laughed and said, "That was also based on the wisdom of the military advisor. She arranged for the inner officer to open the gate of Ligu Pass so that she could break through the pass and enter. The military advisor was the chief minister this time!"

When he spoke, his eyes were staring at Han Mo's face, paying attention to Han Mo's reaction.

"Is that true?" Han Mo seemed calm as usual, with a smile on his lips: "Congratulations to the military advisor. But I heard that the military advisor was stabbed by an assassin, this...oh, I hope she is safe!"

Xiao Huaijin frowned. Although the young man in front of him looked as smiling as the spring breeze and seemed very pure, he knew that the boy should have planned it in Li Guguan. Han Mo's heart was definitely not as beautiful and pure as his face.

"It will be fine. Didn't you invite the most famous miracle doctor in Bozhou County?" Xiao Huaijin smiled, patted Han Mo on the shoulder, led several generals out, walked out to the courtyard, and suddenly told his subordinates: "Whenever the military advisor improves, I will send someone to report to me immediately!"

Han Mo looked at Xiao Huaijin far away and just sneered in his heart: "Want to steal my credit? My credit is a bun with poison. Let's see if you can eat it!"
