Daily Life In Qin Dynasty - Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Return to Nanyang

“How is the preparation here?”

Since the fall of Xinzheng, Zhuyeqing and Heiyu had administered some medicine to intoxicate the guests at the wedding banquet. Afterwards, he took away the badges from them and handed them to Wang Jian.

Basically nothing to do.

The ‘hush fee’ won’t arrive in the account in a short while, so after much deliberation, Zhuyeqing and Heiyu finally decided to return to Nanyang first, and help Xiong Da and Xiong Er settle the matter on his side.

After ‘Mo Ying’ passed the news of Xinzheng City Gate breaking to Zhuyeqing that night, the scuffle in the backyard of General Ji Wuye’s mansion automatically stopped.

Based on Bai Yifei’s strength, in the absence of Bai Feng and Hei Yu, if he wants to run, basically no one can stop him.

Zhuyeqing didn’t want to waste her efforts.

However, after Bai Yifei escaped, Tianze and his party did not hesitate to chase after him. Obviously, the blood feud of the subjugated country is not so easy to resolve.

Gai Nie and Black and White Xuanjian had disappeared halfway through the fight, and there is still no news of it.

“It’s almost there.”

Xiong Da stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea for Zhuyeqing and Heiyu, and said.

The purpose of Xiong Da’s initial visit to Nanyang was mainly to relocate the victims and increase the population of Hanzhong.

But later, because some local landlords and nobles in Nanyang wanted to make a fortune during the war, and what Xiong Da did happened to hinder their actions, resulting in the relocation of the victims.

Originally considering the overall situation, Xiong Da did not act rashly.

Xiong Da didn’t start until Mo Jun sent the news, asking him to take the opportunity to get a sum of money from Nanyang.

“What to do next?”

“Just wait. During this period of time, I have sent people to find their lair. We can do it directly at night.”

The biggest difference between Mojun and Yingzheng is that as a king, Yingzheng often needs to worry about the face of Qin and the diplomatic relations between big countries, so some things are not easy to do too clearly, even if they act secretly, they still need to Put on a mask.

But Mo Jun doesn’t need these.

No matter what the cause of the incident is, from the moment the landlords and nobles in Nanyang dared to assassinate Xiong Da, it was tantamount to declaring war on Mo Jun, so it is only natural for Mo Jun to retaliate.

Of course.

The spread of this kind of ‘small-minded’ revenge will also have a certain impact on Mo Jun’s reputation.

Even under the propaganda of some caring people, Mo Jun’s name of “sage” may be splashed with dirty water.

But Mr. Mo never cared about this.

It’s better to say.

This is in the arms of Mr. Mo.

The reputation of a “sage” can only be borne by the dead. If a living person bears such a reputation, there is a high probability that his life will be shortened from the physical level.

Into the night.

In a remote courtyard somewhere outside Nanyang City.

A figure lined with Chinese clothes and a hooded overcoat quietly entered. At this time, seven people gathered in the courtyard. The candles in the courtyard lobby are not very bright, but there is no shortage of food and wine. It looks like a small banquet is being held.

“You are late.”

“Hmph! I don’t live outside the city like you guys. Now that the Qin army is carrying out armaments in Nanyang, it’s good that I can find a chance to come out.”

The visitor snorted coldly, walked into the lobby, reached out and took off the hood on his head, revealing an old face with piercing eyes.

“Okay, stop talking nonsense, time is running out, let’s get straight to the point!”

After the old man in the hood took his seat, he heard a white-haired old man in the front directly say: “How’s the situation over there recently?”

“Looking at the situation, they seem to be planning to leave.” Someone replied.

“Leave? Huh~~ What a bunch of rat shit. If it weren’t for them, why would we have to do so much trouble now.”

The “they” in these populations naturally refers to the [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] led by Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

For ordinary people, war is tantamount to disaster.

But for local clans like them that have been rooted in Nanyang for hundreds of years, the more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities there will be.

Land annexation, secret plunder, human trafficking, massacre of life…

During the war, death is a very common thing. As long as they seize the opportunity, no matter how many thousands or tens of thousands of people died in Nanyang during this period, they can all blame Qin and South Korea, which started the war.

Originally, after the fall of Nanyang, they were already ready to send people to muddy the water, and then take advantage of the flood victims and public grievances to fish in troubled waters and make a lot of war money.

But I didn’t expect it.

Before the flood of victims flooded, a caravan from the Qin Kingdom actually started to provide relief for free, and even packed up and took away all 30,000 victims in Nanyang.

As a result, Nanyang was caught in the flames of war just now, but after the war, the whole Nanyang not only did not become chaotic, but even the order was much clearer than before.

After all, for Nanyang, the loss of 30,000 victims is a big burden in itself. What’s more, one of the people who helped the Qin army manage the order in Nanyang this time was the original county guard of Nanyang.

Only in muddy water can fish be fished.

If the attack was made when the water was clear, it would be a waste of paper for Wang Jian to send troops stationed in Nanyang.

So putting aside the facts, it really was [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] that cut off the wealth of these landlords and nobles first.

Judging someone’s fortune is like killing one’s parents.

If these people want to continue to fish in troubled waters, they must make Nanyang mess up again. And to make Nanyang into chaos, the first thing to solve is the [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] for disaster relief.

That’s why they sent people to assassinate Xiong Da many times before.

“We can’t let them leave.” Someone said again.

“That’s right. At least the 30,000 victims must stay.”

It is estimated that even these Nanyang nobles have never thought that one day they would actually speak in person and want to leave behind these disaster victims who they have always regarded as ‘untouchables’ and ‘garbage’ in the past.

In the past, whether it was them or the top officials in Nanyang, they always regarded these disaster victims as a burden.

And hearing these words, some of the eight people couldn’t help worrying: “But what should we do? I sent someone to investigate before. This caravan is not simple. If there is no error in the information, it is very likely that they are behind it. It’s that Lord Shengping from the Qin Kingdom. That person is not easy to provoke, if it continues, maybe we will completely offend him.”

“That’s right! Now Nanyang has belonged to South Korea, and I even heard that Xinzheng has fallen to the enemy not long ago. If this is the case, this territory will belong to Qin State in the future. The one who offends Qin State rashly at this time I’m afraid it’s not a wise move!”
