Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Anyi's grain, silk, blacksmith and other businesses, the Wei family was the leader.  In addition, the Wei family maintained nearly tens of thousands of private soldiers, as well as countless servants, servants, and maids. It was also a famous Confucian family with disciples all over the world.

    It can be said that the Wei family has an important position in Anyi. In the past, the prefect in Hedong had to ask the Wei family for their opinions on everything before they dared to issue policies.

    In the hall of the Wei family's mansion, Wei Zhongdao was sitting in the front seat, with his uncles sitting on both sides.  Wei Zhongdao's father was the head of the Wei family and died a few years ago. At that time, Wei Zhongdao was young and had not yet taken up the position of head of the clan. His uncles were temporarily in charge of clan affairs.

    "Humph. It is often said that a new official takes up his post with three fires. Unexpectedly, this Wen Bufan dared to throw the first fire on our Wei family. I really don't know whether he has great courage or is ignorant of life and death."

    "Of course I don't know whether to live or die. I have made an agreement with the heads of other wealthy clans in Anyi City that when Wen Bufan comes to Anyi in three days, we will stay behind closed doors and not go to greet him.

    "As long as a few wealthy families like me don't go to welcome Wen Bufan, how can some of the small families in the city dare to welcome him.  Then he severely punished the servants and servants of each family so that their relatives and friends could not go to welcome Wen Bufan.  And when the time comes, I'm afraid that 80% of the people in Anyi will stay behind closed doors and treat him like a plague.  I look at him, where will he show his face?  "

    "That's right, let's treat it like this. Let him know that if he offends our Hedong Wei family in Anyi or even the entire Hedong, Wen Bufan will be unable to move even an inch!"

    Wei Zhongdao was sitting in the front seat and couldn't help but frown. These uncles didn't discuss these matters with him at all. He, as the young master, was simply nothing.

    "Second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle. Are you a little careless in doing this? We, the Wei family, have offended this Wen Bufan, which will cause a hundred harms but no benefit. After all, this Wen Bufan is sealed by the imperial court!"

    "Zhongdao! Others have bullied our Wei family and snatched away your wife! The hatred for taking away your wife is like a blood feud. If our Wei family was in the era when Empress Wei was in power, Wen Bufan would have been there long ago  I don¡¯t know how many times I have died!

    Zhongdao, my second uncle often tells you.  We are from a wealthy family, and we are people of the most noble bloodline in the world, except for the prince and his grandson.  Na Wen Bufan was just a member of a poor family, with humble blood flowing in his body.  How can we let Wen Bufan ride on the head of the Wei family when there is such a difference between superiority and inferiority?  "

    "Second brother is right. People are divided into groups, three, six or nine. If these levels are disrupted, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world? Zhongdao, third uncle often tells you, learn more from your dead father and be tougher in your actions.  You have the support of the entire Wei family, how can you still defeat a poor person?"

    "That's enough! Second uncle, third uncle! Please respect me! Although I am lower than you in seniority, I am still the young master of the Wei family after all! I don't need your guidance on how I want to behave.  point!"

    Wei Zhongdao stood up tall, his pale face flushed with blood, and he opened his mouth to shout. He who was originally a little weak now became more majestic.

    The middle-aged man, whom Wei Zhongdao called his second uncle and third uncle, was suddenly stunned. Almost at the same time, a sinister light flashed in his eyes. He used the hand that was making the handle of the seat and squeezed the handle with such force that it almost broke.

    "Zhongdao, why are you doing this? They are all your second uncle and third uncle. After all, they have more experience in life and work than you. And they are all for your own good and the good of the Wei family.

    Okay, okay, it's not too late.  Zhongdao, you are not in good health. I will wait until these useless old guys can no longer disturb you, so I will leave first.  "

    Wei Zhongdao snorted coldly and turned around. Before his second uncle and third uncle left, they glanced at him coldly and muttered something.  As for the white-faced fourth uncle, after saying a few good words, he left with his second and third brothers.

    "This smelly kid! How dare you yell at me! Even your damn father doesn't dare to do this to me! The Wei family will be defeated by you sooner or later. Fortunately, I took precautions and took some measures.  "Wei Zhongdao, don't blame your second uncle for being ruthless, it's really because you are incompetent and don't deserve the position of clan leader!"

    Under the night fog, Wei Zhongdao's second uncle with a mustache had a frightening light in his eyes, filled with vicious evil.

    Three days later, eight thousand soldiers and horses were like a roaring dragon, snaking from outside Anyi City.  It has not yet reached the time of chaos, and Hedong is still stable. Except for the Xihe area, which needs soldiers and horses to guard it, other places do not need too many soldiers and horses to guard it.  In other counties, the number of soldiers and horses originally left behind was in the hundreds, enough to maintain order in each county.  Therefore, Wenhan did not assign troops to guard other counties.

    Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Gao Shun led the army, while Zhou Long, Xi Long, Zhang Hong, Han Song, Lin Shi, Xiao Yuhan and other civil servants, women and children sat in the carriage.

    Wenhan wearsYama is in armor, wearing a white plum-blossom robe, holding a tiger-headed silver spear, riding a divine horse on the clouds and Wuzui. He is heroic and majestic. He takes the lead and goes to the city gate first to announce his name.

    The general who was guarding the city, hearing that he was the prefect who had taken office, did not dare to be negligent at all, so he quickly lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate.  Wen Han led his soldiers and horses into Anyi City.

    Anyi was the capital of the Wei State during the Warring States Period. It spanned the Mingtiao Gang loess hills and the Gangxia Plain, with a circumference of fifteen kilometers and a trapezoid shape narrow in the north and wide in the south.

    The width of the wall base is about 10 meters, except for the one kilometer section in the northwest corner, which is 22 meters.  In the middle of the big city, there is a small square city with a circumference of 1. The wall is five or six meters wide and the terrain is about four meters higher than the surrounding ground. It was the palace city of the Wei State at that time. It has been rebuilt and has become the central area of ??Anyi.  The residence of a noble official and wealthy man.  As for the middle city wall that surrounds the southwest of the city, it has a circumference of more than 6,000 meters and is the palace of the county government.

    Although Anyi is not as prosperous as Luoyang, it has an ancient charm.  Wen Han led his troops walking in the streets of Anyi, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

    There were very few people on this street. Except for a few vendors shouting, it was eerily quiet.  Moreover, since he arrived with such great fanfare, the people in the city should know why no one came to greet him.

    Especially those wealthy families, they are the core figures of Anyi City. Whether it is according to etiquette or for their future interests, they should also come to welcome them.

    "Hmph, the Wei family really have great tricks. How dare you give me a blow!"

    Wenhan smiled coldly, and soon he dismissed it. He really didn't take these etiquette and face seriously, because these are all vain things.

    "However, if these people don't treat him well as the governor of Hedong, then Wenhan doesn't have to be polite to them in the future.

    After a while, the official who stayed in Anyi to take over the handover rushed to Wenhan.  He looked at the strange scenes around him and thought inwardly, thinking that Wen Han would vent his anger.  Unexpectedly, Wenhan didn't care at all, and asked him to arrange the residence of Wenhan's officials and soldiers, and then hand over documents with Zhang Hong.

    The left-behind official looked at Wen Han curiously, then nodded quickly, and then divided the soldiers behind him into several waves. Two waves led the soldiers to the school grounds in the city and arranged accommodation, while the other wave led the baggage team.  Store the baggage and armaments in the city's granaries and arsenals.

    And he led Wen Han and other officials to arrange residences in the city.  Zhou Long and Guan Yu have become accustomed to being inseparable from Wen Han and living in the same house with Wen Han.  And Wenhan's prefect's mansion was several times larger than the one in Luoyang, with countless rooms.  After a while, after the handover officials finished allocating the residences, they led Wen Han and others to the county government hall in the city, except for Zhang Hong, who wanted to reconcile with the handover officials.

    Wenhan and the others walked around curiously.  The main hall of the county administration is extraordinary, spacious and majestic.  At this moment, Wen Han stood here, and he truly felt that he, Wen Bufan, had really become the guardian of a county in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

    Two hours later, the handover official who checked with Zhang Hong was sweating profusely.  This piece of paper is really difficult to deal with, and some small numbers have to be investigated thoroughly.  These days, there are no innocent officials. This unknown amount was corrupted by officials of the previous generation. However, the amount is not large, and most people just turn a blind eye.

    Who would have thought that this piece of Hong is not righteous at all, and I have to ask clearly.  This made the handover official's mouth almost knotted, and he felt extremely aggrieved.

    "It would be fine if he was greedy for these taxes, food, and armaments. He didn't even drink the soup, but he was interrogated like a prisoner.  If he had known this, he would not have done this handover even if he killed the officials.

    "That's all. Zigang, these are all bad debts left by the previous generation. It won't help if you insist on asking them. These small amounts are not big, so that's all."

    "no!"

    Zhang Hong held his head high, straightened his face, and shouted with an extremely serious look that showed no sense of justice.

    "If little things are not kept in order, big things will be messed up. Although these numbers are small, they are the blood and sweat of the people. Since he did this handover, he should have dealt with this account book before handing over, so he has certain responsibilities! He may even be related to those  If anyone is complicit, according to court regulations, his hands should be cut off and thrown into prison!"
