Chapter 60 Hongmen Banquet
hand over the army to Ling Cao, Zhang Yu returned to the county seat.
Zhang Yu was at the Prefect’s Mansion and invited Zhang Zhao, Xi Zhicai, and Xiang Heng over.
“Now that we have the strength, it is time to take over Kuaiji County.” Zhang Yu waved his hand and said to his subordinates proudly.
“Master, you are the prefect, how can you keep being emptied? It’s time to clear this group of people.” Zhang Zhao clenched his fist and said happily.
“Master, these aristocratic families are deeply entrenched here, and the positions of the government are occupied by them. Even if we expel them all, there are not enough people to replace them.” Xi Zhicai is currently in charge of intelligence, and his understanding is more natural. many.
“All key positions will be replaced by Xiang family children, and the rest of the positions will be ignored. As long as they don’t make trouble, they will slow down, but if they dare to emerge, they will all be wiped out.”
This is the critical time. The Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to begin. Zhang Yu must firmly control his own turf and absolutely not allow his rear to become chaotic.
Zhang Yu decided to do something against the family, but it also had to be divided into steps and methods.
“Zibu, tomorrow we invite the Patriarch of the Six Great Family to come to the Taishou Mansion to discuss matters, and the Patriarch must be present in person. Whoever is not present will be at his own risk.” Zhang Yu said.
“Subordinates take orders.”
“Zhicai, tomorrow you will cooperate with Ling Cao to prepare the crime evidence collected and produced by the family gangsters, and if someone does not cooperate, take it directly.”
Zhang Yu was already fully prepared. When he was fighting the bandits, Zhang Yu discovered that these aristocratic families were more or less related to these bandits.
Most of these families bought the bandits and bought a peace, but sometimes they let them do some shameful things.
These are nothing at all, everyone knows it well, but once someone wants to be investigated, it is a crime.
Since Zhang Yu discovered this, how could he not use it.
“Clan Chief Xiang, you have to send someone to Luoyang to give gifts to the eunuchs in the court.” Zhang Yu said again.
“Lord, why are these eunuchs gifted? Their reputation is too bad, this will hurt the lord.” Xiang Heng asked puzzledly.
“How can they give up when I move these aristocratic families, they don’t have the strength to do to me in Kuaiji County, but they won’t give in, they will definitely find a way to go to Luoyang to sue me, so they must buy these eunuchs and suppress them.” Yu explained.
Xiang Heng listened and nodded in response, but everyone knew that the hundreds of thousands accumulated with difficulty would cost more than half.
But the money that should be spent must be spent. This money can reduce a lot of trouble.
As for the reputation of dealing with the eunuchs in the DPRK, there is no other way, this is the price that must be paid.
After Zhang Yu arranged everything, it was already dark.
“It’s been a long time since I saw Wan’er and Xin’er, and I don’t know how they are now.” Zhang Yu walked to the backyard, thinking of his two daughters-in-law.
Zhang Yu walked to the backyard and saw Wan’er sitting alone in the pavilion.
“What is this little Nizi doing?” Zhang Yu saw his wife and walked much lighter.
Zhang Yu walked over, but Wan’er didn’t notice Zhang Yu’s arrival.
“Ah.” Zhang Yu passed over and hugged Wan’er from behind, Wan’er exclaimed.
“Husband, you are good or bad.”
“Hey, there are even worse.” Zhang Yu has been too busy recently and hasn’t talked much about life with Wan’er. It is so easy to have some time, of course, we must hurry up.
“Husband, you are so ashamed, don’t be here.”
Zhang Yu started to move her hands and feet, and Wan’er was so embarrassed that she resisted.
“What’s the matter? We didn’t have too much trouble when we were in the wild.” Zhang Yu smiled and said to Wan’er.
Wan’er wanted to refuse, but Zhang Yu’s aggression was nowhere to be resisted. Zhang Yu continued to attack, and Wan’er finally softened and let Zhang Yu act.
But Zhang Yu didn’t really deal with Wan’er here in the end. After all, it was a back garden, not a real field. It was not good to be seen.
Back to the room, the two were naturally in a big battle, Zhang Yu released all the accumulated over the past few days.
The next day, after dawn, Zhang Yu got up early, and after routine martial arts training, he ran to eat breakfast with Xiang Xin.
The two are not married, so Zhang Yu can’t accompany Xiang Xin at night, and can only accompany her as much as possible during the day.
On this day, after having breakfast, Zhang Yu was in the main hall of the prefectural palace early.
“Master, the invitation has been sent to the heads of the six families overnight, and they have agreed to arrive in the afternoon.” Zhang Zhao reported.
“Zhi Cai, how are you preparing?” Zhang Yu asked again.
“Everything is ready.” Xi Zhicai replied confidently.
Zhang Yu nodded, did not continue to ask these things, but asked Xi Zhi to report on the overall situation of Kuaiji County.
After the playzhi had money and people, intelligence has initially penetrated into various places in Kuaiji County.
In the Li family, the heads of the six great families gathered again.
“Patriarch Li, this Zhang Yu child actually wants us to go to the Prefect’s Mansion in person, and he doesn’t know what to sell.” said Zhao Li, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family.
“Just like last time, just send someone in charge. Sending family children will give him face.” Huang Ming, the head of the Huang family, said Li Yuan touched his beard with one hand. After waiting for a while, he said, “Since our prefect is sincerely inviting, we will meet him to see what tricks he is going to do. He is not buying an official for money, but at that time, he will be given some benefits and let him be obedient. .”
“Haha…”
Several Patriarchs are very contemptuous, because for nearly two months, Zhang Yu hasn’t made any moves, not even appointing himself, and all important official positions are in their hands.
Zhang Yu is waiting in the Taishou Mansion, everything is ready, just waiting for the guests to arrive.
The prefectural mansion is also ready at this time.
More than an hour in the afternoon, several carriages arrived outside the prefect’s mansion.
“This Zhang Yu child didn’t come out to greet him. It’s too unreasonable.” Several family heads arrived at the gate of the Prefect’s Mansion, and two children of the Xiang family greeted him there.
Li Yuan’s face was slightly angry, but he quickly returned to normal.
“Since you are here, go in and take a look. If that kid doesn’t know how to praise, then change someone.” Li Yuan said.
Several people nodded, and under the guidance of the Xiang family’s children, they entered the prefectural palace.
The prefectural palace seemed relatively empty at this time, and there were not many people.
Zhang Yu has never summoned an official of his subordinates in the prefect’s mansion, and these officials Zhang Yu also knows that he can’t control it at present.
In that case, Zhang Yu didn’t bother to deal with these officials.
Li Yuan and others walked into the Taishou’s Mansion. After entering the main hall, they saw Zhang Yu sitting on it alone. There were many seats on both sides, and many fruits and vegetables were placed on the seats.
Several patrons frowned when they saw it.
“This son really doesn’t know how to praise.”
Several Patriarchs had thoughts in their hearts. Seeing Zhang Yu sitting high, they felt uncomfortable.
