In the second hall of the government office, all the chieftains and native officials gathered together, and some of them were familiar to Ye Xiaotian, such as Hongdong County Magistrate of Dawanshan Division, Agachier Chieftain of Wuluosi, Zha with flat-headed Kesi. The chieftains of the West, and the chieftains of Shiye Cave and Yimei Cave, even though Ye Xiaotian doesn't remember their names, he still has an impression of their appearance.
It's just that Ye Xiaotian was one of them last time, and they all came to ask for money from the magistrate, but this time Ye Xiaotian is already an official of the magistrate, and he is a member of the Chieftain Yimeng. of. Therefore, Ye Xiaotian didn't sit among them, but sat on the left side with the prefect's subordinates.
On the right side are the seats of the chieftains, on the left side is the first one, sitting a young man in green shirt with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, skin as creamy as fat, playing with a small ivory fan in his palm, looking around with a smile, it is Ye Xiaotian's heart The little demon girl in the movie-Master Yu of Jianzhou.
In the back house, Zhang Yutong helped his father tidy up the folds of his robe, and said: "The Nagdole tribe has only three thousand people. If you exclude the old, young and women, it would be good to have eight hundred warriors. My father ordered Tixi to sue The Yu family and the Guoji family's soldiers and horses are enough to deal with it, why go to war and summon the chieftains of the whole house."
Fatty Zhang sighed, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Son, you are still too young to understand some things."
Zhang Yutong frowned in distress: "I'm already seventeen!"
Fatty Zhang smiled and said, "That's right, Xu Sui!"
Fatty Zhang was about to leave, but seeing his son still looking resentful, he stopped again and said, "This stall will be handed over to you sooner or later, so it's okay to let you know first. My son, Tongren is our Zhang." Family, yes, but people have their prime and old age, and the same is true for Jiangshan.
Now our Zhang family is no longer as one-sided as it used to be, and can overwhelm all the chieftains in Tongren. Father failed to mediate and resolve the Shuiyinshan Rebellion, and the Tian family did nothing. These chieftains did not take our Zhang family seriously.
We chieftain family, be steady! This is true. I heard from the storyteller that since the Han Dynasty, apart from the Han people, there were Di, Qiang, Jie, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Khitan, Jurchen, Shatuo, Xiyi, Dangxiang, Mongolia...
The emperor has changed countless people, but we still stand firmly here as the king and hegemony. Like Anjia, how many dynasties has it experienced from the Han Dynasty to the present? Hold on! However, was Anjia the top chieftain in Guizhou a thousand years ago? no! Did the chieftain king settle down five hundred years ago? Nope! Not perishing does not mean that strength and status will not change. "
Zhang Yutong said movedly: "Father is saying that someone wants to take the position of the master of Tongren in our Zhang family?"
Fatty Zhang shook his head and said: "Father didn't find out anything, but he just felt something was wrong. I can't tell you exactly what's wrong. In short, Dad's big move this time is just a warning. If someone really plots something wrong, Dad will let you He knows that our Zhang family is still the master of Tongren, and the chieftains under Tongren will still obey our Zhang family's orders!"
Having said that, Fatty Zhang flashed a bold and domineering look on his face, he patted his son on the shoulder vigorously, and walked out with the help of two powerful servants. Excessive obesity and a sluggish figure completely ruined the mighty aura he just showed.

In the second hall, after Dai Tongzhi introduced the situation of the Gedola tribe, he sat down again, and Fatty Zhang, who was sitting at the head, said: "In the heart of benevolence and righteousness, our government has repeatedly tolerated, and hoped that the Gedola tribe can return to the mountains. The warnings fell on deaf ears. Now, the government is determined to expel the Ministry by force, what do you chieftains think?"
Fatty Zhang thought that after saying these words, all the chieftains would clap their arms and shout in response to dispatching troops, but as soon as his words fell, the lobby fell into an embarrassing silence.
Ye Xiaotian was also a little uncomfortable by the sudden silence, he moved his buttocks, and unexpectedly moved the chair under his buttocks, making a creaking sound, which was particularly ear-piercing in the dead silence. Ye Xiaotian was startled, and quickly stopped.
Fatty Zhang's eyes widened slightly, and his face was a little hot. He was already aware of the disrespect of the chieftains, but he didn't expect that the situation had developed to a point far more serious than he estimated. The Lord of Tongren spoke, but no one responded.
Upon seeing this, Master Qiao quickly smoothed things over and said, "Actually, to deal with Gedolo's tribe, only the troops from the Zhang family, Yu family, and Guoji family of Tixi Division are enough. The reason why the magistrate wants to call on the chieftains from all over the prefecture to join forces is because It is to show that all the ministries of Tongren are united as one!
My lords, don't forget that Tongren is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are full of seedlings. If the tribes in the mountains follow suit, won't it cause chaos in the world? Therefore, joining forces to expel the Gedola tribe is to tell the tribes in the mountains that we, Tongren, are monolithic, and tell them not to have delusions again. The magistrate has worked so hard! All the chieftains only need to send a small number of young men and signal to participate. "
Hongdong magistrate of the Dawanshan Division coughed and said: "The magistrate certainly has good intentions, but the expulsion by force will cause the tribes in the mountains to resent the same hatred and come out of the mountain one after another? The territory under the jurisdiction of the lower official, but Just at the foot of Shiwanda Mountain... "
When Hongdong County Magistrate made this speech, Ye Xiaocai noticed that he was actually wearing a magistrate's official uniform. Ye Xiaotian still remembered the last time he came to ask Zhang Zhifu for money, he was wearing a navy blue native robe, a cloth handkerchief wrapped around his head, and a short knife hanging on his waist, not like a county magistrate, but like a chieftain from some village.
He wore tusi robes when asking for money from the local magistrate, but now that the local magistrate has negotiated with him to join forces, he wears the official uniform of the imperial court...
Ye Xiaotian wanted to understand the meaning, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. These chieftains may not have much ink in their stomachs, but they are not inferior in terms of scheming and cunning. That's why he didn't do everything and let the Gedolos deal with it alone. The world is a good place, but people's hearts are also sinister, and they have to learn to adapt.
When the magistrate of Hongdong County said this, several chieftains immediately echoed. These chieftains included Wuluosi, Yimeidongsi, and Shiyedongsi. The magistrate of Hongdong County had the same worry. He was afraid that the tribes in the mountains would be angered and go out of the mountains, and they would suffer first.
Fatty Zhang snorted with anger and said: "Are you worried that you will anger other mountain tribes? Now that the Gedolao tribe has come out of the mountains and has taken part of the mountains, plains and rivers of Tixisi for themselves, if they don't take them seriously Call back, don't you worry that other mountain tribes will follow suit and come out of the mountains one after another?"
Agachier of Wuluosi said: "Master Zhifu's words are wrong. The tribes in the mountains have never had much contact with the outside world. Just now Dai Tongzhi also said that the reason why the Gedola tribe is going out of the mountains this time is because they received The oracle, so the magistrate's worries are impossible."
Fatty Zhang glared at him and said, "Then, will your Wuluosi send out troops or not?"
After all, under the prestige, Agachier didn't dare to look at him, but lowered his gaze, and said embarrassingly: "I think we should be more careful!"
Fatty Zhang glared at Hongdong County Magistrate again, Hongdong County Magistrate laughed and said: "I think peace should be the most important thing, peace is the most important thing."
Fatty Zhang was trembling with rage. He closed his eyes, only to feel his scalp tingling, and suddenly had a feeling of dizziness. Feel the past.
In his feeling, this time is very short, but in the eyes of other people in the hall, he only saw Zhang Zhifu supporting the case with his hands, his eyes closed, his face turning blue and white, and his cheeks fleshy after being rejected by the two chieftains. Trembling with excitement, cold sweat the size of a soybean dripped down his forehead...
Such a scene fell into the eyes of everyone, leaving a very deep impression in their hearts. Perhaps it was from this moment that the crumbling altar of the "Lord of Tongren" really fell down with a bang and shattered into rubble.
It took a long time for Zhang Zhifu to calm down. He slowly opened his eyes, and said to Junting and Guoji chieftain in a weak tone: "It seems that others are going to clean up their own door. What do you two say about Tixi?"
Yu Junting was the only woman among the officials present, and she was the highest in terms of official rank, so of course she had to answer first. The small ivory fan Yu Junting had been playing with stopped, tapped lightly a few times on Wen Run's palm, suddenly smiled, and said: "I think it's better to follow the old practice of Liangyue Valley, divide its land and secure its people, Bring it under your jurisdiction!"
"What?"
Zhang Zhifu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at this girl who had always been underestimated by him in disbelief. In private, Yu Junting had complained to him more than once, complaining that if the prefect did not take action , the Yu family will act alone.
Zhang Zhifu thought that no matter what today, Yu Junting should stand firmly on his side. The ranking status of the family has jumped a step, and that person is this little slut with a sweet belly and a sword in front of him!
The Yu family's power in Tongren is second only to the Zhang family's. He should have thought of it a long time ago... But his premonition was too slow, and he didn't feel it until he had figured it out. Zhang Zhifu was shaking all over, his hands and feet were cold, and the feeling of dizziness came again.
Ye Xiaotian watched coldly, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar. By the way, when he was in Hu County, Meng Qingwei, Xu Boyi, and Wang Ning played this kind of trick on him more than once. Fortunately, he was able to fight back every time.
And when this scene finally appeared, he had changed from being the target of the crowd to the leader behind the scenes, and the person who was forced into the palace became Hua Qingfeng. Now, Prefect Zhang is undoubtedly the "Hua Qingfeng" at that time, so who is "Ye Xiaotian"
Ye Xiaotian's gaze faltered...
