First Minister of Ming Dynasty

"What are you still doing in a daze? Do you want to punish the Nine Clans?" Sun Yan yelled sharply, and he took the lead and rushed to the wide-eyed father... Well, very filial to the father!

A moment later, the door of the Sun family opened, and Sun Yan clasped his hands together, smiled and bowed to welcome the distinguished guests!

Chapter 185 There is a successor

"Master Sun, counting your knowledge, let me tell you, now it is the Zhu family's army, and you can score points regardless of division. If you are like you, be obedient, and we can still have a good talk, otherwise you will kill your whole family, and no one will say anything." !"

A middle-aged man in his thirties, Dama Jindao, sat at the main seat in the lobby of the Sun family.Sun Yan had no choice but to sit with him below.

"Brother Han, to be honest, I am also willing to follow Marshal Zhu's order and distribute the farmland to the big guys... Look, if you have any ideas, just say it directly. We have everything to discuss, and we are all fellow villagers for many years , don't hurt your peace!"

Seeing Sun Yan's humility and obedience, the middle-aged man felt even more proud.

"Master Sun, in the past your family relied on the influence of the dog tartars to acquire so many acres and received so much wealth, but now you are going to spit it out!"

Sun Yan's face was slightly stiff, but he still nodded without retorting, looking downcast and pleasing to the eye.

The third brother Han became even more unscrupulous, "Let's make it clear. When I come back this time, I just want three things. If you give them to me, we will still be good friends. Everything will be fine. If you don't... …Hehe, don’t blame me for inviting Zhu Jiajun over, you won’t be able to pay if you don’t pay the time!”

Sun Yan thought for a while, and said, "Brother Han, please tell me first, I'll listen to you too."

Han San looked around, "By the way, let me tell you, you can make the decision? Can your father agree? Don't let me spit in vain!"

Sun Yan gritted his teeth and nodded, "Please rest assured, third brother, I am the master of this family!"

Brother Han thought for a while, and smiled: "Fine, no matter who it is, Zhu Jiajun has the final say... Well, the first thing is that your family's [-] mu of paddy fields on the banks of the Qinhuai River will all be handed over to you." come out!"

Sun Yan was stunned. Even though they were all fields, the flat fertile fields were different from the land on hillsides, and those with irrigation were different from those without.

The [-] mu of land that Han San wants is not only not far from the Qinhuai River, it can be fully irrigated, and the land is flat, which is a good fertile land.

The output of [-] mu of land can be as high as [-] mu elsewhere, or even more.

Han San was about to leave as soon as he opened his mouth, it was no less than cutting off the fattest piece of meat!

"Well... Sange Han, I can hand over the fields, but since it is the average land, it must be distributed evenly, so that everyone can get it. If you ask me for it now, there must be a regulation. What do you plan to do with these fields? What to do, I have an idea..."

"Why are you asking this?" Han San said unceremoniously: "You hand over the land, anyway, it's not up to you, leave the rest to me, I, Han San, have nothing else but to do things fairly... That’s not the case, why do we do so well in Lishui? If you don’t believe me, go to the street and inquire, who doesn’t know the reputation of the third master!”

It turned out that this Han San was a gangster. When Emperor Tianwan came to kill him, he gathered some people, known as the Red Turban Army, to fight Yuanting.

Later, Monk Peng died and Tianwan's army retreated. He did not know what method he used to hook up with Chen Yexian again and became the leader of Xiangyong.

Now that Zhu's army has occupied Jinling, he has become the Red Turban Army again, and he has gathered many people, clamoring to welcome Zhu's army, kill landlords, and equalize the land... Before coming to Sun's house, he had already blackmailed two rich families, He got thousands of acres of land and robbed a lot of money and food.

The minions who followed him have all gained some benefits, so they are very motivated. If they can take down the Sun family, they will undoubtedly make a lot of money again.

Sun Yan is not stupid, it turns out that their family is powerful and has a relationship with Yuan Ting, Han San dare not touch them.Now, Yuan Ting has collapsed, and Han San's power is getting stronger and stronger. With his relationship with Zhu Jiajun, he may not be able to scare him.

Sun Yan thought for a while, then asked again: "Third brother, you said three things, this is the first thing, what else do you want? You can say it all!"

"Happy! Vote for my temper!" Han Sansan laughed and said, "The second rule is that if your family wants to produce a hundred cows and fifty horses, if you can't get them out, you can pay them with money and food. I don't choose. For the sake of our fellow countrymen, we won’t let you suffer!”

Sun Yan's complexion changed. Their family only had thirty or so cows. Although it was a lot, it was still far from what Han San wanted.Most of these people also knew about the family background of the Sun family, so they proposed to use money and food to convert it. No need to ask, it must be the lion talking again.

"Brother Han...there is one last thing?"

"This...the last thing is actually a private matter." Han San paused for a moment, his face flushed slightly, then he shook his head and said simply: "It's like this, your father went to a concubine some time ago , this girl, I am a baby relative, you give her back to me and make a pair of mandarin ducks, the third brother will naturally think of your benefits!"

Snapped!

Sun Yan slammed the table and stood up suddenly, his hair was about to stand on end.

Han, what do you want to do?If you want to marry my little mother, what the hell have you become to me?

Facing this sudden father-son relationship, who the hell can bear it!

What's more, Han San is almost forty, and the woman is not yet twenty. Although Sun Yan was very angry at the behavior of the father gnawing the tender grass, Han San opened his eyes and talked nonsense, talking about baby kisses, Even more angry and crazy!

"Han San, don't go too far!"

Han San was also taken aback, but then he stood up without any fear.

"Master Sun, when your family bullied others in the past, you did a lot of bad things. Compared with you, I am nothing... As for these three conditions, if you don't agree, my brothers will take your family away." ! See if I can do it, can't I do it?"

"you!"

Sun Yan was furious, but still maintained his last trace of calmness. In the current situation, their family is indeed no match for Han San, and there will be no good end if they fight hard.

Sun Yan's anger rushed to the top of his head several times, but he suppressed it. After thinking twice, he managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Third brother, you're right. The limelight has changed. I admit it. I'll agree to whatever you want... I'll look for the land deed, and I'll bring all the cattle and horses. If it's not enough, I'll take the money. As for what you want I, I'll go and tell my father, you just come and pick it up tonight, what do you think?"

Han San didn't expect Sun Yan to agree so happily, "Master Sun, you won't lie to me!"

Sun Yan smiled helplessly, "I lied to you, do you still want to live? You have so many soldiers, and Zhu Jiajun as your backer, even if you kill us, you have to endure it. I also want to thank the third brother for giving us a way to survive. !"

Han San took a deep breath, an appreciative smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help stretching out his thumb.

"Young Master Sun, you are a good person. I, Han San, really want to make friends with you. Don't worry, as long as we finish this matter, we will be a family. Third brother will never forget your family in the future!"

Sun Yan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile, "Then I would like to thank the third brother for taking care of me, and ask the third brother to give me some time. I will prepare right now and come back at night!"

Han San thought over and over again, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go back now... But don't try to play tricks, play tricks, I won't be fooled!"

Sun Yan said: "I don't dare either!"

……

Snapped!

Sun Yan was strong, and his cheeks were swollen from being slapped by his father. The five bright red guidelines were particularly eye-catching.

A mouth full of blood.

"You son of a bitch, I beat you not because you disobeyed your father, but because you were incompetent! Your father worked so hard to be a dog for a dog tartar. He was careful, filial, and fawning. You will lose all the family business you have saved. .From now on, I am not your father, but Han San, that rascal! He married your stepmother, and she is your stepfather. Go and recognize your ancestors! Go! What are you doing here?"

Sun Yan grinned, spat out bloody phlegm, and said with a sneer, "Father, have you shouted enough? What else do you think I can do?"

"What else can I do? You are desperate, you are looking for someone, you are dead, you are still a hero, you just recognize it, you are not even as good as a bastard!"

"Shut up!" Sun Yan suddenly shouted angrily: "What do you know? Tell you, this is Zhu's army's world. When it's not Yuan Ting, your tricks don't work anymore... Thugs like Han San, Zhang Experience has been told."

"Talk? What are you talking about?" Grandfather was puzzled. What kind of good things can a red thief leader say?

"Hmph! During our training, Zhang experienced himself said that the division of land should be done in a reasonable and reasonable way. Unless you are a tyrant who has committed a heinous crime, you should not be executed. You just need to rehabilitate. Similarly, if someone takes the opportunity of dividing the land, They wantonly messed up, occupied fields, extorted, robbed wealth, even robbed men and women, murdered and robbed...the same should be severely punished!"

Grandfather was taken aback, "This, isn't that what Han San is talking about? But he said that he is a member of the Red Scarf Army, and he is acting according to the order of the superior!"

"Bah! If he was really a member of the Red Turban Army, Marshal Zhu and Zhang Jingchen would have skinned him long ago... It's nothing more than pulling the banner to make a tiger skin. By the way, don't you often do this?"

"you!"

Grandfather lost his temper when he was asked one sentence, and his momentum was also weakened by seven points.

"Then, what do you think we should do? Is it okay to just listen to Han San?"

"Of course this won't work, but we can't fight recklessly either... Tonight, first take down Han San, and then put up a notice saying that our family is willing to take the initiative to equalize the land. Invite respected folks to come over to discuss ways, first to win people's hearts Come here, the remnants of Han San will not be able to attack them. At this time, I will go to Jinling to deliver a letter, and quickly ask Zhang to go through them to decide what to do in Lishui's subfield! Before Zhu's army comes, we just need to maintain the situation. Don't make trouble, and don't make decisions, so as not to cause complications."

After Sun Yan finished speaking, Sun's father not only lost his temper, but fell into silence... After a long time, he suddenly smiled, "Good boy, okay! Better than your father! It seems that our family has someone who can carry forward, Do everything according to your wishes!"

That night, the Sun family put up lanterns and festoons, as if they were going to hold a happy event for Han San, and Han San really came to the door.Sun Yan took out all the fine wines in the cellar at home to entertain Han San's subordinates.

When he drank in a daze and made a decisive move, he took Han San!

All of a sudden, the stone was shocked.

Okay, the landlord dares to arrest our third brother?

Yuan Ting's remnant hawks and dogs are too rampant, please ask Zhu Jiajun to be the master!

Let's enter the Sun's family, get rid of them all, rescue Brother Han, and kill all of Sun's family!

This group of people clamored for action, but at this time, more than a dozen old farmers appeared at Sun's house, all of them were of some importance in the ten miles and eight townships.

Although there is no family business, but the prestige is high, the seniority is high, and the character is good.

Sun Yan entertained them one by one, respectfully serving tea, "It's hard for me as a son to say anything about my father's affairs, but I just talk about my own affairs. I passed the Zhu Jiajun's exam and have the qualifications to be an official. I It must be honest, act according to Zhu Jiajun's wishes, divide the land and acres equally, there will be no mistakes, and you must satisfy all uncles and folks."

"Han San gathers those rascals and idle bastards. They just want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. If these people really control the place, the good guys will have no way out. Big guys, think about it, right? Such a reason!"

These old farmers listened patiently, and they frowned slightly, "Master Sun, you are right, but we can't tell if you are sincere! We dare not say it!"

"Then wait for two days! As long as you don't cause trouble, wait for the people from the Zhu family army to come over and settle this lawsuit. Will the big guys think it's okay?"

The old farmers looked at each other and finally nodded reluctantly, "Sure, let's go there first and tell the gangsters who are making trouble outside that no one is allowed to make trouble within two days."

After the old farmer left, Sun Yan wiped off his sweat and almost collapsed. He finally passed a level, and the rest is beyond his ability to solve...

Chapter 186 Mr. Zhang is Here

Sun Yan didn't wait for two days, actually only a day and a half, Zhang Ximeng came in person, not only he came, but also Xu Da, plus three thousand elite Zhu family troops!

At the same time, there are more than 100 military talents who have passed the imperial examination.

This lineup is outrageous, needless to say Zhang Ximeng's status with Lao Zhu, especially when the latest theoretical program is put forward, it seems to have been upgraded to the height of a thinker, a little friction in Lishui, no matter what, he doesn't need to do it himself .

If it is necessary to overkill and overkill, Zhang Ximeng is fine, but what does it mean to send Xu Da over?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has countless powerful generals, Xu Da already has the No. 1 appearance. He is not only brave in battle, but also handsome, and he is the one that makes Lao Zhu feel at ease.

The first two, civil and military, came to serve Lishui. How lucky is this Lishui?

"Sir, I have a few words, I don't know if I should say them or not?" Xu Da asked tentatively.

Zhang Ximeng rode forward with a slight smile, "Are you going to intercede for Han San?"

Xu Da was startled, and then smiled wryly: "Nothing can be hidden from Mr.'s mind. This Han San must be killed for gathering rogues. But after all, he is for the purpose of dividing up the land. This is also our proposition. Killing him is not an act of selfishness." Broken limbs?"

Zhang Ximeng frowned, "Xu Da, I didn't expect that, why do you think so? Can people like Han San be kept?"

"This...of course we can't stay, but I thought...the Sun family can't stay either!" Xu Da said solemnly.

Zhang Ximeng frowned, thinking in his heart, and suddenly smiled after a while.

"Xu Da, do you want me to kill both sides?"

"In short, I think Han San cannot be punished more severely than the Sun family! Otherwise, if you want to push Juntian, you won't be able to succeed."

"Why?" Zhang Ximeng asked back with a smile. He really wanted to hear Xu Da's opinion and see what he had to say.

"Sir, judging from the current situation, Sun Yan has dealt with it properly. Han San pretended to be Zhu's army and acted recklessly. Naturally, he deserved death. But we must not forget that for so many years, the Sun family has cooperated with Yuan Ting, and they have occupied the fields. , Bullying the folks, fish and meat people... all kinds of actions, I am afraid that they are more than a hundred times more hateful than Han San! Now if the Sun family is spared and Han San is executed, no matter how many reasons there are, it is just pampering the powerful landlord and hurting everyone. The aspirations of the people, sir, please observe clearly!"

After Xu Da finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Ximeng.He found that Zhang Ximeng's complexion was normal, and there was nothing unusual about it, and Xu Da was also a little irritable.

"Sir, there are some things I shouldn't have said, but in front of you, I dare not say it...Xu Da, and many others, we all came from poor backgrounds, and we all support farming, and we know that this is a rare opportunity for countless people. , Once you miss it, you will never meet again in a few lifetimes. But some people don’t like to hear it. They will use Han San’s incident to say that he is a troublemaker, and that the distribution of land will only benefit these wicked people. The real people You still have to suffer. And people like the Sun family are peaceful and kind people. Although they control the place, they are better than local ruffians like Han San..."

Xu Da finished speaking in one breath, staring at Zhang Ximeng, "Sir, if the superior believes these words, Juntian will not be able to do it any longer! It will disintegrate and disappear, and all previous efforts will be wasted...Sir, this is the wish of countless people! No, it can’t be ruined like this!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but smile, "Xu Da, you are very accurate, and you are right... But I want to ask you, you said that someone would say these things next to the superior, who is the person you are talking about?" who?"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, then muttered: "Sir, you know it well, so why make things difficult for me!"

"No!"

Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "I really don't know, and I hope you don't talk nonsense... We just talked about it, and it was so easy to get together, but now we have to distinguish each other, find a reason, and fight each other. , can it really succeed?"

Xu Da was speechless at this moment, not even daring to speak up.Could it be that even Zhang Ximeng changed his mind?

"Sir, if this continues, is there any hope for the poor people?" Xu Da asked sadly and angrily.

Zhang Ximeng smiled again, "Xu Da, this is the difficulty of this matter. You think that for the sake of equalizing the land, you should protect Han San so that his end will not be worse than that of the Sun family...I can't say right or wrong, but someone I also hope to use Han San's head to beat people everywhere, think about it, are the minds and methods of both of you the same?"

"No!" Xu Da said decisively: "I, I am for the poor folks, I don't have that much selfishness!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled again, "Okay, even if your intentions are different, the methods are still similar, right? If you let outsiders see it, will you be classified as the same breed?"

"This, this!" Xu Da was at a loss for words again. Naturally, he couldn't talk to Zhang Ximeng, and he felt that Mr. Zhang was very strange today.Everyone knows who will obstruct the division of land and tell lies at Zhu Yuanzhang's place.

Mr. Zhang just pretended to be confused. If this continues, won't he be eaten to death by those people, how can he continue to fight with them?

"Sir, you, you taught us to read, you gave us names, you said so many nice things, you told the future that the tillers will have their fields, and everyone will be rich and warm... Isn't it all just talk?" Xu Da said His voice trembled a little. He believed what Zhang Ximeng said, and he really approved it.

I am also willing to do my best to support, even if I am shrouded in horse leather, I am willing.

There are many people in the Zhu family army who have such thoughts.

But the dispute between the Sun family and Han San made Xu Da confused, which side should he support?

Han San is certainly not right, but the Sun family is so powerful, just because they have a son who is willing to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, can they escape the guilt and continue to live at ease?

If this is the case, how can you say that it is fair and just to divide the fields evenly?

Zhang Ximeng saw Xu Da's grief, anger and depression clearly, and knew his thoughts. Zhang Ximeng said earnestly: "I know your intentions, but I also want to remind you that when we encounter something, we can't be reckless, and we can't rely on our own Judgment based on experience. Instead, we need to work hard to analyze the specific situation clearly and find the real crux! Only in this way can we find the safest solution.”
