The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 576: Thoughts

Cui Zhi hated Qi Haoran who stole most of the Cui family's assets, but even more hated the person who plotted against the Cui family behind his back.

As Cui Zhong said, Dongting County is the Cui family's world, and it is easy for them to check Qi Haoran's whereabouts. After the incident, he asked someone to investigate, and he naturally knew that Qi Haoran's army did not even enter the county gate, and He was stationed directly ten miles outside the county and planned to continue his journey the next day. Like the previous county towns, as long as there were no bandits inside, he would pass through the door 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. If the family rebels, all the following things will not happen.

Qi Haoran will return to the imperial court early the next morning, so what should happen to Dongting County.

Cui Zhi has nothing to do with Qi Haoran now, but he will not let go of those who plot against the Cui family behind his back, so he urgently needs to know who is behind the scenes.

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

Huang Hu's situation is much worse than that of Cui Zhong's. He is covered in wounds, obviously being tortured, and this makes Cui Zhi believe that it must be Huang Hu who provoked the relationship between Qi Haoran and the Cui family.

Huang Hu was almost suffocated. After he was caught, he was gagged and locked up that night. The next morning, he was temporarily dragged out to be tortured. After interrogating him and beating him black and blue, he dragged him and the other two to Cui's manor.

For the past three days, he has been locked up alone, and his mouth is free only when he eats every day. He wants to kill himself, but there are always people around him. Once he finally bit his tongue cruelly, but his jaw was quickly removed. , although a mouthful of blood was bitten out, it was not serious. The other party didn't even give him medicine, but the guards on him were stricter. At twelve hours a day, six people took turns staring at him, so that he couldn't find any gaps. .

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

The Cui family has been standing for more than 600 years, and the methods of interrogation are even more cruel. Huang Hu couldn't stand the torture, so he told the person behind the scenes, but he really couldn't answer the first question.

In the end, seeing that Cui Zhi was so persistent, Huang Hu could only talk nonsense. In short, he could say whatever he wanted to follow Cui Zhi. He was able to be the one who planted and framed him. Observing words and demeanor was the most basic thing. Part of the hatred was placed on the family that was behind the scenes.

Thinking of what Qi Haoran said before he left, Cui Zhi had the idea of ​​cooperating with him.

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

In Cui Zhi's view, the Cui family is already on the decline, most of the assets have been looted by Qi Haoran, and the most important fields have also been attributed to those hidden households who left. It is impossible to get them back, at least Impossible in twenty years.

Rather than being suppressed by other 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 a family member, and he knows more clearly about the struggle of family families than anyone else. If the Cui family does not fall, then it will only end up being swallowed up by other families. This is not the first time such a thing has happened.

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

It's all because the resources of the two families have been annexed by several of their aristocratic families long ago, and now the direct branches of the two families can barely provide for their children to study, and no amount of resources will be available.

Cui Zhi didn't want the Cui family to become like that under his hands, so he could only cooperate with Qi Haoran to bring down other families before other families began to annex him. Anyway, the Qi brothers also want to clean up the hermits, don't they?

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

Behind General Qi's team, several bandit leaders were also talking about Qi Haoran.

The few people looked at the supplies behind them with complex expressions, and said with a tusk: "Soldiers, soldiers, how can you say that soldiers are bandits? You see, the Qi family army is worse than us bandits. Ruthless, we only robbed some food, gold and silver and so on. I heard that they moved a lot of silver and food, and even distributed most of their land. "

"How else can someone be a soldier, but you can only be a bandit?"

"I can also serve as a soldier now, and I can become an official no matter what when I go back."

"Huh, just brag, it's not bad if you don't cut off your head. If you ask me, the Cui family deserves what they deserve. We are so poor because of their families and rich and powerful. If they didn't raise so many hermits, Annexation of national taxes, maybe we don’t have to pay so much taxes, we don’t need to rebel, and we don’t have to worry about it now.”

"Pull it down, even if there are no such aristocratic families and wealthy landlords, the emperor will be stupid, build a palace today, and build another palace tomorrow, and then buy beautiful girls and so on. We have to pay more taxes, eat less, and finally have to rebel. "

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with rebellion. As long as we keep ourselves safe after entering Beijing, an official position is unavoidable. It's better than being a fool for the rest of our lives, right?"

"Hmph, you only see these benefits, but you don't look at how many people died. We have been bandits for seven or eight years. Look at how many people died along the way. How many people are still alive now? I'd rather the country live in peace and the people live in peace, even if I'm a mud leg, at least my family is still alive."

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

There was a long silence, and someone broke the silence in a low voice, "I don't know if it will be peaceful this time. We don't want this prosperous age anymore, 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 Beidi. Not only are there no bandits there, but at least the people will not starve to death."

Someone hummed and said, "You'll know if you're starving to death? It's bitterly cold in the north, and people in the south of the Yangtze River starve to death. I don't believe there is no one in the north. It's just being concealed..."

There was a lot of noise in the back, but there was joy in the front. A scout rushed to report, "General, Lin'an City is about twenty-five miles ahead. The general sent guards to report, saying that he will personally lead all the officials to welcome you back to Beijing."

Qi Haoran was happy, and he laughed loudly and ordered: "Tell people to speed up, and 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 should first settle down in a temple ten miles away, and then formally enter the capital tomorrow. If you enter the city today, it will be very late... ..."

Teachers have always paid attention to the time when returning to the court. Generally speaking, it is best to enter the city after the sun rises, and before noon. If they enter the city today, it will be dark by then, who will stand in the way to welcome them?
