Chapter 576： thought

  Cui Zhi hated Qi Haoran who copied most of the assets of the Cui family, but even more hated the people who plotted against the Cui family behind his back.

As Cui Zhong said, Dongting County is the world of the Cui family, and they want to check Qi Haoran's whereabouts easily. He was stationed directly outside the county ten miles away, and planned to continue his journey the next day. Like the previous county towns, as long as there were no bandits inside, he would not enter, so as not to cause trouble to the people.

And Qi Haoran brought people into the city because he wanted to buy gifts for his wife and children. He also quickly got the exact news. It can be said that if someone hadn't designed Qi Haoran to hear Cui Zhong's and others, he would suspect Cui Zhong's and others. If the family rebels, everything after that will not happen.

Qi Haoran will return to the court early the next morning, what should be done in Dongting County.

Cui Zhi can't do anything about Qi Haoran now, but he will not let go of the people who are behind the Cui family, so he urgently needs to know who is behind it.

After Cui Zhi interrogated Cui Zhong, he went to interrogate Huang Hu.

Huang Hu's situation was much worse than Cui Zhong's. He was covered in injuries and was obviously tortured. This made Cui Zhi even more believe that Huang Hu must have provoked Qi Haoran's relationship with the Cui family.

Huang Hu was almost suffocated to death. After he was caught, his mouth was gagged and locked up that night. The next morning, he was temporarily pulled out and tortured. After interrogating him and beating him all over, he dragged him and the other two to the Cui family's manor.

For the past three days, he has been locked alone. Only when he eats every day can his mouth be free. He wants to kill himself, but there are always people around him. Once he finally bites his tongue, but his chin is quickly removed. , Although he bit out a mouthful of blood, it was not serious. The other party didn't even give him medicine, but he was more strict guarding him. At twelve hours a day, six people took turns staring at him, so that he couldn't find any space. .

He obviously didn't say a word, but Cui Zhi repeatedly interrogated him what he said to Qi Haoran and who instructed him.

The Cui family has stood for more than 600 years, and the means of interrogation are even more cruel. Huang Hu couldn't stand the punishment, so he told the person behind the command, but he really couldn't answer the first question.

In the end, seeing Cui Zhi's perseverance, Huang Hu can only talk nonsense. In short, he can be the one who framed and framed him. It's the most basic thing to observe, so in the end, Cui Zhi will be big. Part of the hatred is placed on the family that is behind it.

Remembering what Qi Haoran said before he left, Cui Zhi thought of cooperating with him.

Those who can calculate and have the guts to calculate the Cui family are naturally aristocratic.

From Cui Zhi's point of view, the Cui family is already on the decline. Qi Haoran has looted most of the assets, and he has also assigned the most important fields to the names of those who left. It is impossible to get them back, at least. Impossible in twenty years.

Rather than being suppressed by other aristocratic clans, it would be better for the entire clan to be like their Cui family. At that time, everyone’s starting point will be the same again, and the Cui family may be able to be the leader again.

Cui Zhi is an aristocratic clan, and he knows more than anyone about the battle of the clan family. If the Cui family goes down, then it can only end up being annexed by other clans. This is not the first time that this has happened.

Now who still knows the family of Wang Xie in the Jin Dynasty?

All because the resources of the two families have long been annexed by several of their aristocratic clans, and now the direct branches of the two families are barely enough for their children to study, and no amount of resources can be taken out.

Cui Zhi doesn't want the Cui family to become like that in his hands, so he can only cooperate with Qi Haoran to bring down other aristocratic clans before they start to annex him. Anyway, the Qi brothers also want to sort out the hidden households, don't they?

Qi Haoran, who was rushing to Lin'an City, didn't know what Cui Zhi was thinking, and he just went home to see his wife and children.

And behind General Qi's team, several bandit chiefs were also talking about Qi Haoran.

Several people looked at the supplies behind them with complex expressions, and tsk tsk said: "Brigands, soldiers and bandits, or how to say soldiers are bandits, you see that the Qi family's army has gone this way, more than our group of bandits. Ruthless, we only grab some food, gold, silver, etc. I heard that they moved a lot of money and food, and they even distributed most of the land to others, and there was no conflict at all. "

"How else can others be soldiers, but you can only be a bandit?"

"I can be a soldier now, and when I go back, I can be an official."

"Hmph, just blow it, it's not bad if you don't chop your head off. If I say that the Cui family deserves it, it's because of their wealthy families and wealthy people that we are so poor. If they hadn't raised so many hidden households, If we annex state tax revenue, maybe we won't have to pay so much tax, we won't have to rebel, and now we don't have to worry about it."

"Take it down, even without these aristocratic families and rich landlords, the emperor will be in a daze, build a palace today, build another palace tomorrow, and buy beautiful girls later, we have to pay more taxes, eat less, and finally rebel. "

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with rebelling. As long as we stay safe after entering Beijing, an official position is inevitable. It's better than being a scumbag for a lifetime, right?"

"Hmph, you only see these benefits, but don't look at how many people have died. We have been bandits for seven or eight years. Look at how many people have died along the way, and how many of the former bosses are still alive? I would rather have the country's peace and prosperity, and I would rather be a scumbag, at least Lao Tzu's family is still alive."

The atmosphere was a little stagnant. Among the people present, more or less lost their family members in the war, and some were even alone.

After a long silence, someone broke the silence with a low voice, "I don't know if it will be peaceful this time. We don't want this prosperous world, as long as we don't persecute the people too much like the previous Great Zhou."

"No way, the general is not bad. I heard that he loved the people very much when he was in the Northland. Not only is there no bandit chaos there, at least the people will not starve to death."

Someone hummed and said, "You know if you starve to death? The north is bitter and cold, and people in the south of the Yangtze River starve to death. I don't believe that the north is not. It's just hidden..."

There was a quarrel in the back, but the front was beaming, and a scout rushed to report, "General, you will be in Lin'an City twenty-five miles ahead. The general sent guards to report, saying that he will personally lead the officials to welcome you back to Beijing."

Qi Haoran was happy, and he laughed and ordered: "Let people speed up, we must rush to the capital today."

The smile on the scout's face paused, and he said in a low voice, "General, the general said that you will be stationed in a temple ten miles away first, and then you will officially enter the capital tomorrow. If you enter the city today, it will be very late... …”

It has always been important to pay attention to the time of day when a class teacher returns to the DPRK. Generally speaking, after the sun rises, they officially enter the city. It is best if they can all enter the city before noon. If they enter the city in time, and the sky will be dark by then, who will welcome them?
