Hold His Hand - Chapter 169

Xie Chengze sealed the capital and was only allowed to enter but not to leave, but this had little impact on ordinary people living in the capital.

He copied the granary of the aristocratic family and had enough food on hand, so the grain store in the capital opened as usual.

He recruited people to build roads and walls, and those who had no money to eat could work and earn money.

He also built a relief hall to take in orphans and elderly people.

For some people who originally lived outside the city and stayed in the city unintentionally, he also specially arranged a place for them to live. As for where the place to live came from… He copied the homes of several officials, and there were always vacant houses.

In the first few days, the people were in a state of panic, but after a few days everything went back to normal.

For them, now they are the nobles who wear gold and silver, and they can’t see a single one. Is it okay?

Xie Chengze’s closure of the city has little impact on the common people, but it has a great impact on the gentry. Now they are not only in fear all the time, but their living standards are also plummeting.

For example, in the past, Zhuangzi, who was located outside the city, would bring them all kinds of fresh meat every day, but now there is no such thing.

Although the grain stores in the city are open, the prices of various coarse grains are still very cheap, but the fine grains are sold very expensive! Even sold at sky-high prices!

What about the dishes? Pickled fish and pickles are cheap, and the rest are sky-high.

Ordinary people have no opinion on this. They eat whole grains, and they don’t eat much vegetables.

In addition, the capital has always been managed by aristocratic families, and private individuals are not allowed to sell salt. In the past, the price of a pound of salt has caught up with a hundred catties of grain, and now a pound of salted fish and pickles are sold for a few pennies… They are even ecstatic, Stock up a lot.

But how could the nobility endure eating coarse grains and salted fish?

Even if it was at the point of life and death, the nobles felt that they could not lose face. They bought the most expensive food, live chickens and ducks, which made Xie Chengze earn a lot of money.

In addition to what was copied from the home and left by the emperor, Xie Chengze now has no idea how much treasure he has.

Xie Chengze has asked Sheng Yuan to register these things.

Tian Qi arrested someone and went to kill someone, Xie Chengze said to Sheng Yuan: “When Yan Hang comes, you can give him the things here.”

Sheng Yuan looked at the gold and silver jewelry and asked Xie Chengze, “Godfather, you should do this.”

Xie Chengze said: “Our family has something to do when the time comes, and we don’t have time.”

Is there really no time? Or was his godfather actually ready to die? Sheng Yuan looked at Xie Chengze: “Godfather!”

“Sheng Yuan, Yan Hang will be a good emperor.” Xie Chengze said, and turned to leave.

Sheng Yuan is a smart man. He knew that Sheng Yuan would not do stupid things, so he went to do it against Lu Yanzhou.

Xie Chengze had already told his confidants to listen to Lu Yanzhou in the future.

The rest of the arrangements, he has done almost the same.

When Lu Yanzhou comes, not only will he be able to take over a clean capital, but he will also get a lot of manpower and a large amount of supplies.

As for him… He wants to see Lu Yanzhou again, and what happens next depends on what Lu Yanzhou wants him to do.

After Xie Chengze walked for a while, he met the **** and palace maid who were sweeping.

After he launched the palace change, these people were very scared and trembling all the time, but someone controlled them, and they lived as before.

As for the people who control them, their situation is similar to Sheng Yuan’s, they are all his confidants, and they have all been ordered by him to obey Yan Hang’s orders.

As for his generals…

Some of them are in the same situation as Sheng Yuan and the others. They have already received his orders and will listen to Lu Yanzhou’s arrangements. Some of them are simply sent by Lu Yanzhou.

He didn’t know what Lu Yanzhou was like before, but based on what he knew about the Lu Yanzhou he had come into contact with, Lu Yanzhou should have let these people go.

That is, he… always has to give the world an explanation.

Xie Chengze thought so, and Xie Chengze’s confidants also thought so.

At this time, Sheng Yuan met with several other confidants of Xie Chengze’s eunuchs and discussed it.

“Yan Hang is coming, what will happen to Master Chitose?”

“Yan Hang is good, but even in order to make the world feel at ease, he can’t let Master Chitose go.”

“Didn’t Master Chitose say that Yan Hang wouldn’t hurt him?”

“Do you believe this?”

“Master Chitose killed so many people recently, how can Yan Hang let him go?”

…

Everyone was talking, and gradually became silent, and then another humane said: “Then what are we going to do?”

If Xie Chengze died, what would they do?

In the end, Sheng Yuan said: “Master Qiansui has paved the way for you, so don’t let him down and live well.”

Listening to Sheng Yuan say this, these people are very uncomfortable.

Xie Chengze turned around in the palace, and Tian Qi, who led the order to kill, came to return.

Xie Chengze and Tian Qi had already discussed who to kill, and today Tian Qi took them and killed them all.

“Lord Chitose, fortunately not to be humiliated!” Tian Qi bowed and saluted when he saw Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze asked: “General Tian, ​​you are rushing to kill people these days, so you are not afraid of dying without a burial in the future?”

Xie Chengze needs someone to help him kill, but he is easy to be liquidated afterwards, and the same is true of the person who helped him kill.

Therefore, he originally planned to let his generals take turns to kill people, so that Lu Yanzhou had to be held accountable, but it was not easy to hold him accountable.

As a result, Tian Qi rushed to do this work.

Tian Qi was his instigator, not his confidant. At first, Tian Qi helped him block the capital and help him catch officials who couldn’t go to court. That was fine, but then Tian Qi killed so many officials…

Tian Qi laughed: “Master Qiansui, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of?”

Xie Chengze raised his eyebrows: “General Tian also has a story?”

Tian Qi said: “There is a story, but it’s not a big deal, that is, when my sister took my daughter-in-law, who had never been there, on an outing, she was killed by the Zhou family’s animals.”

Tian Qi actually has a good family background, and is a side branch of a small family, the Tian family.

It is a pity that the hierarchy is also strict among the families.

The Zhou family killed his family, and he had no choice.

He originally thought that he would never be able to take revenge in his life, and he never thought that Xie Chengze would start to promote him and win him over… Later, Xie Chengze even started killing the royal family and aristocratic families.

He had seen the evidence collected by Xie Chengze about the people they were going to kill. Those people should be damned!

His parents had died not long ago, so he simply followed Xie Chengze and made Xie Chengze’s knife.

As for the future… it doesn’t matter if you die.

His enemies were all killed by him!

Xie Chengze said: “Don’t worry, I will let Yan Hang spare you.”

Tian Qi is a talented person, so Lu Yanzhou should not kill Tian Qi.

He made an excuse to say that Tian Qi was forced by him, and sent Tian Qi to the frontier for a few years… When Tian Qi came back a few years later, no one would pursue what happened back then.

Tian Qi said: “Lord Qiansui, we have already blood-washed the capital, how could Yan Hang let us go?”

Xie Chengze laughed: “Don’t worry, he will let it go.”

Tian Qi felt that Xie Chengze was coaxing him.

It was impossible for Yan Hang to let them go.

Those from the big family in the capital also felt that Yan Hang could not let Xie Chengze go.

The nobles are all related to each other, and the people who are left in the capital are people who have not committed any serious crimes, but they were killed by Xie Chengze, many relatives and friends, and they were scared for so many days.

“Yan Hang is really coming?”

“It should be true!”

“Xie Chengze doesn’t need to lie to us.”

“I didn’t expect Sun Chongshao to be so useless and lose so quickly!”

“Wang Tingyun deserves to be Wang Tingyun…”

“We should have followed Wang Tingyun to go to Yan Hang.”

“What if you lose your dignity? You don’t have to die anyway!”

…

After everyone talked about this, they mentioned that Xie Chengze started killing again today: “That Tian Qi is a mad dog. He broke into many people’s homes today, and if he catches anyone, he will kill him!”

“Brother Li finally escaped to the capital, and only a few days after his birthday, he was hit by this disaster.”

“Xie Chengze is really lawless!”

“You just found out today?”

“Half of the noble family in our capital has been killed by him…”

…

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and everyone was extremely uncomfortable and extremely frightened, for fear that someone would suddenly break in and kill them.

And at this time, there is only one thing that can make them feel better: “Yan Hang is coming, Xie Chengze will not end well then!”

“We’re about to be saved!”

“People like Xie Chengze will definitely be dismembered by five horses and cut into pieces!”

…

These people imagined what Xie Chengze was about to encounter, and finally felt much better.

However, when another group of cavalry passed by outside… These people subconsciously found a place to hide, and they all shivered.

However, those people are not here to catch them!

Just when they were hiding, a servant came in: “Master, I have heard the news, the thief is here!”

After this person finished speaking, he saw that the master who got under the table had already wet his pants and was speechless for a while.

“The rebel is here!”

“They are finally here!”

“Yan Hang is so powerful, he will be able to capture the capital soon!”

“Should we help him?”

…

There was a lot of discussion, and then another servant came to report: “Master, the general guarding the city gate opened the door and let the rebels enter the city!”

These aristocratic families were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed: “Xie Chengze’s people can’t stand Xie Chengze anymore!”

“They surrendered so quickly, it must be to survive!”

“Xie Chengze is over!”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

…

Those who survived wept with joy.

Xie Chengze’s people did open the city gate as soon as they saw Lu Yanzhou, and let Lu Yanzhou’s people in.

This is what Xie Chengze has already explained.

However, their moods are very complicated-they…will they be able to see their grandfather Chitose in the future?

Lu Yanzhou didn’t know what these people thought.

He has been rushing around in the dust recently, and he has no time to take a shower. He is dirty at the moment.

He was worried at first that Xie Chengze would dislike him when he saw him like this, but in the end… when he came, he didn’t even see Xie Chengze!

Didn’t Xie Chengze come to greet him?

Lu Yanzhou immediately asked, “Where’s Xie Chengze?”

Tian Qi stepped forward and said, “General Yan, Lord Chitose is at home. He said he wanted to see you…I’ll show you the way!”

Xie Chengze at home? Lu Yanzhou said: “You don’t need to lead the way, I know the way!”

Lu Yanzhou wanted to take care of his appearance before going, but he couldn’t wait to see Xie Chengze.

Forget it, just go like this, and then you can complain to Xie Chengze and let Xie Chengze feel sorry for him.

Lu Yanzhou rode his horse and walked directly towards Xie Chengze’s residence.

Xie Jia also wanted to see Xie Chengze, and immediately followed.

Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou’s other subordinates followed subconsciously, and even Wang Tingyun, who had followed him all the way, also followed.

Seeing this scene, Tian Qi and other Xie Chengze’s confidants will naturally not fall.

At this moment, Tian Qi was actually a little confused.

They opened the city gate, but Lu Yanzhou didn’t even send anyone to investigate, and came in without a word!

It doesn’t matter if he comes in, he is not in a hurry to let his own people take over the management of the capital, so go to Xie Chengze first?

Is he… anxious to kill Xie Chengze?

Xie Chengze’s residence.

Xie Chengze arranged everything and went home.

He put on a red shirt and waited for Lu Yanzhou’s arrival.

They hadn’t seen each other for many years, Lu Yanzhou kept saying that he wanted to see him, should he be happy to see him?

Let the servants leave, Xie Chengze was alone in the yard waiting for Lu Yanzhou’s arrival.

Lu Yanzhou came to the capital very quickly, but coming to him should not be so fast.

Lu Yanzhou, who had just entered the capital, always had to understand the situation first.

But he is willing to wait, even if it takes a few days, it doesn’t matter.

In fact, he was most afraid that Lu Yanzhou didn’t want to see him, so he directly sent someone to arrest him and sent him to prison.

If this is the case, he can only finish himself quickly.

As soon as Xie Chengze thought of this, he heard the sound of horses’ hooves approaching.

A group of people on horseback came, and these people were riding very fast!

Xie Chengze frowned.

The group of people stopped at the door of his residence, followed by the door of his house being smashed open… Xie Chengze’s heart sank.

Is this Lu Yanzhou’s hand coming down to catch him?

Xie Chengze was a little disappointed.

The red dress on his body was the most gorgeous dress he had ever worn in his life, similar to a woman’s wedding dress.

He wanted Lu Yanzhou to take a look.

In this case… Maybe Lu Yanzhou will remember him for the rest of his life?

But now, Lu Yanzhou didn’t come?

Just as Xie Chengze thought so, he saw a strong man with a beard rushing in, opened his mouth and shouted, “Aze, I miss you!”

Xie Chengze: “…” Is this Lu Yanzhou? !

Well, this is indeed Lu Yanzhou.

This is Lu Yanzhou… just came to see him when he entered the city?

Xie Chengze was surprised, but also a little scared, and then saw the sloppy man rushing forward, hugged him, and kissed him on the mouth: “Aze, long time no see.”

Xie Chengze was stunned.

The people who were standing at the door and those who came with Lu Yanzhou were also stunned.

Everyone was dumbfounded, only Lu Yanzhou not only picked up Xie Chengze and weighed his weight, but also said, “Aze, you have lost weight! And you look so good in this red dress!”

Xie Chengze: “…” This situation is not quite right.
