Chapter 25 [Planning]

Xiao Jing acted viciously and did such evil things. Even if Han Mo was so arrogant, he couldn't help it. He felt that it was time to take action. Naturally, the children of the Han family could not be bullied like this and had to be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle.

But he also knew in his heart that killing Xiao Jing does not mean that he should do it as soon as he takes action. Xiao Jing and Huang Bantou are very different.

Although Huang Bantou is Xiao Muzan's confidant, he is just a dog after all. Even if Xiao Muzan believes in his heart that Huang Bantou's death is related to the Han family, he can only resent in his heart and make some tricks in secret. However, Xiao Jing is his only son. Once he is killed, Xiao Muzan will definitely attack the Han family regardless of his wits. After all, he is the county magistrate of Donghai. Even if his strength is not enough to launch a devastating blow to the Han family, he can force the Han family to react through a series of government measures. Once the Han family reacts, it is equivalent to fighting against the government. Master Xiao, who has always wanted to grasp the Han family, will definitely pop up and give the Han family a heavy blow to the Han family in politics.

Although the Han family is the first family in Donghai County, its strength is still much worse than the Xiao family. If the Xiao family catches the handle and attacks the Han family, the Han family will definitely be greatly damaged.

Therefore, Han Mo immediately opposed Han Yuan's strategy of assassinating Xiao Jing immediately, explaining the benefits and interests to him. After all, the foundation of the Han family cannot be shaken because of such a thing. The Han family endured for many years in order to slowly strengthen themselves in a quiet and secluded the mountain to watch the battles between major families in Yan State. If the gunpowder introduction was triggered because of Xiang Yu'er's death, the first thing the Han family clan would not agree with.

"We can't kill him in Donghai City, or even in Donghai County." Han Mo said calmly: "If possible, Xiao Jing died a few years ago."

The "Black Panther" led by Han Qing has enough ability to kill Xiao Jing a hundred times in Donghai City.

Han Yuan clenched his fist, and his face twisted due to anger looked even deformed: "Then should we stop like this? Xiaowu, I am not afraid of anything. I must kill Xiao Jing and avenge Xiang Yu'er."

"It is best not to let your grandfather and others in the clan know about your idea." Han Mo said seriously: "A good person will not live long, and it will be ruined for thousands of years. Fourth brother, in this world, not the damned person will die. For many reasons, many damned people will live well."

"But Xiao Jing must die, this is destined." Han Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I swear my life. If I don't kill him this time, I will not deserve to be the descendant of the Han family. I should jump into the East China Sea to feed the fish."

Han Mo stared at his former cowardly fourth brother, and suddenly showed a faint smile: "Fourth brother, you look murderous."

Han Yuan smiled bitterly, closed his eyes, and said slowly, "Xiao Wu, do you know that Xiang Yu'er is my first woman and the first woman I fell in love with. For a while, in this simple house, I realized what gentleness is, and how warm a woman cares for herself, but all this has been ruined. Xiang Yu'er is a good girl, but she was humiliated and killed by Xiao Jing's beast. You don't understand how painful it is in my heart."

My fist was tight, my veins were exposed, my nails were deeply trapped in my flesh, and blood was overflowing, but I could not feel any pain: "I know that Xiao Jing must have sent someone to follow me, and then I realized where Xiang Yu'er was hiding. I killed her, so I must give her an explanation!" He looked at Han Mo with a hint of expectation and said softly: "Xiao Wu, you have always been smarter than the fourth brother. This time you must help me. As long as you kill Xiao Jing, you will do whatever you want me to do."

"You and I are brothers, your grudge is my grudge, it's no need to say." Han Mo held his chin and said, "Fourth brother, suppress your grief and anger and pain in the past few days. Don't let these emotions appear on your face. Remember, there is no wind in the matter about killing Xiao Jing."

Han Yuan was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "But I want to kill him now."

"I'm so anxious that I can't eat hot tofu." Han Mo said lightly: "As long as Xiao Jing is in Donghai County, we can't do it. Once Xiao Jing dies in Donghai County, even if it has nothing to do with our Han family, the Xiao family will also pull Xiao Jing's death on our Han family."

"Can't we stop?"

"Stop?" Han Mo sneered: "I said that we will kill people this time and we will not stop. But we have to wait for Xiao Jing to leave the situation in Donghai County."

Han Yuan frowned and said, "He left Donghai County? When? Xiao Wu, the Black Hell King and his son have not left Donghai County in the past few years. And they have been secretly leaving several times. Should we keep sending people to stare at them secretly and wait for them to leave the country? Then what year will it take? If Xiao Jing does not leave the country, will we not take action?"

Han Mo said seriously: "Fourth brother, you are right. Before Xiao Jing left, we must not take action for the Han family. "Seeing that Han Yuan's face was a little pale, he smiled faintly and said softly: "But don't worry, in my opinion, Xiao Jing will leave Donghai County in these few days."

"Really?" Han Yuan's eyes shone in and murderous intent suddenly appeared.

Han Mo said, "Huang Bantou is dead, and there is no candidate for the general manager who transports tax silver to Yanjing. I am thinking now, who will Xiao Muzan send to transport tax silver? Who else does he trust except Huang Bantou?"

...

The night was faint, beside the coconut forest, a pile of yellow sand buried a lost life, and also buried Han Yuan's first relationship. He stood quietly by the grave with Han Yuan. Han Mo looked at the simple pile of yellow sand, which was Xiang Yu'er's final destination.

A poor woman.

The fishy sea breeze blowing from the East China Sea softly passed by. In the night, several fast horses slowly left the coconut forest and disappeared into the faint night.

...

...

Yan State always likes to add a saying in his prose, "The world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful." This kind of decent words always make people feel the irony hidden in it. If the intrigues of the nine major families cannot exist, peace will not exist, and if the taxes are heavy, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

But it is strange that the deformed political system of Yan State has made Yan State smooth in terms of taxation--except the Ye and Wu families who control Bozhou County, other places can usually pay full tax silver under the control of the aristocratic families.

Obviously, although the aristocratic families are fighting, they all have to protect their own strength. In this era, except for Ye Wu, two wealthy aristocratic families, other aristocratic families are unwilling to become thorns in the court's eyes because of delaying taxes. After all, any aristocratic family has made a mistake, and the court is fully capable of summoning several other aristocratic families that are gloating to give them a devastating blow.

The taxes of Yan State are divided into spring and autumn. In the two quarters, each county will pay tax silver to Yanjing. Usually, the county governments far away from Yanjing will have a lot more escorts, and local counties will dispatch troops to escort them for a long time. Donghai County is adjacent to Kuaiji County, where Yanjing is located. Although the two counties are huge, Donghai City and Yanjing City also have a journey of five or six hundred miles, the security of Donghai County has always been good, so the silver protection team of Donghai County has never been too large. It is coordinated by 150 city guards, dozens of prefectures and more than a dozen martial artists.

In the six counties of Yan State, each of them has a city guard. As for the number, it depends on the location. In addition to the border guards, the number of city guards will also be maintained at 10,000 or 20,000 people. Donghai County is adjacent to the East China Sea and is far away from the border, so the number of city guards is usually only three or four thousand, but it is just to deal with sudden civil unrest and some regional bandits. As for the East China Sea pirates, there are tens of thousands of people to deal with the East China Sea Pacification Army, and the city guards are not qualified.

Although the highest honorary commander of the city defender is the county magistrate, the real control is in the hands of the commander of the city defender. Under the coordination of the major families of Yan, it has been determined that the children of the aristocratic families should not be held by the aristocratic families since many years ago, but to select outstanding talents from the annual martial arts top scorer assessment to be appointed.

This is of course an overview, because any martial arts top scholar will be attracted by the aristocratic families in a very short time, and the martial arts top scholar itself also understands that in this country, without the support of the aristocratic families, there will definitely be no future at all, and will hit it off and devote themselves to the aristocratic families that can bring benefits to themselves.

In addition to Bozhou County, which has been completely controlled by the Ye and Wu families, the other five counties of Yan State had three county commanders who were the Xiao family members, and since then, the Xiao family's power has been seen.

However, the commander of Donghai County was a confidant of the King of Yan and did not join any aristocratic family. After all, the King of Yan also had the means to win over talents.

So from a certain perspective, the Donghai County Governor and the City Guardian Commander are not the same faction.

The tax silver collected by the Han family was loaded with more than a dozen carriages, which were counted by Han Xuanchang, the Qing official and the tax collectors of the government office, and reported to the county magistrate's office. Then they were gathered with the silver carriages of the government office. After a few days of preparation, they were to be transported to Yanjing.

Although the relationship between the Han family and Xiao Muzan is already very stiff, both sides dare not neglect in tax banking. At least in dealing with tax banking, Han Xuanchang saw a smile that was rare on Xiao Muzan's face, and Xiao Muzan also saw a rare seriousness on Han Xuanchang's face.

"Mr. Han, this is another matter." Xiao Muzan smiled and said, "The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

Han Xuanchang smiled very much: "Yes, the country is prosperous and the people are safe." He was silent for a moment before asking, "But who will escort the tax silver to Beijing this time?"

He was the Qing Lishu and had the power to know the general manager of escorting tax banks to Beijing.

"Child Xiao Jing!" Xiao Muzan smiled maliciously: "Sooner or later he will do things, so it's better to experience it earlier."

Han Xuanchang thoughtfully and nodded: "Young people, it is a good thing to experience more!"
