Hold His Hand

Xie Chengze sealed off the capital, only allowed to enter but not to exit, but this has little impact on ordinary people living in the capital.

He copied the granary of the aristocratic family and had enough grain in hand, so the grain store in the capital opened as usual.

He recruited people to build roads and city walls, and those who had no money to eat could work to earn money.

He also built a relief hall to take in orphans and the elderly.

Some people who originally lived outside the city and stayed in the city unintentionally, he also specially arranged a place for them to live in. As for where the place came from... He copied the homes of many officials, and there were always houses vacant.

In the first few days the common people were panicked, but after a few days everything went back to normal.

For them, now those gentry who wear gold and silver and hug each other can't see any of them, isn't that good?

Xie Chengze's closure of the city has little impact on the common people, but it has a great impact on the gentry. Not only are they in fear all day long, but their living standards have also plummeted.

For example, before, their Zhuangzi outside the city sent them all kinds of fresh meat every day, but now they don't have any of these.

Although the grain stores in the city are open, the prices of all kinds of coarse grains are still very cheap, but fine grains are very expensive!Even sold at sky-high prices!

What about the dishes?Pickled fish and pickled vegetables are sold cheaply, but the rest are sky-high.

Ordinary people have no opinion on this at all. They already eat coarse grains and don't eat much vegetables.

In addition, the capital has always been under the control of a family, and private individuals are not allowed to sell salt. In the past, the price of a catty of salt was as high as a catty of grain, but now pickled fish and pickled vegetables are sold for a few pennies per catty...they were even ecstatic , hoarded a lot.

But how could the gentry bear to eat coarse grains and salted fish?

Even at the critical moment of life and death, the gentry felt that they could not lose face. They bought the most expensive food, live chickens and ducks, and Xie Chengze made a lot of money.

In addition to what was stolen from the house and what was left by the emperor, Xie Chengze now has many treasures in his hands.

Xie Chengze has asked Sheng Yuan to register these things.

Tian Qi arrested and killed people, Xie Chengze said to Sheng Yuan: "When Yan Hang comes, you can give him the things here."

Sheng Yuan looked at the gold, silver and jewelry, and asked Xie Chengze: "Godfather, you should do this."

Xie Chengze said: "Our family will be busy at that time, so we don't have time."

Is there really no time?Or was his godfather actually ready to die long ago?Sheng Yuan looked at Xie Chengze: "Godfather!"

"Sheng Yuan, Yan Hang will be a good emperor." Xie Chengze said something, then turned and left.

Sheng Yuan is a smart person, he knows that Sheng Yuan will not do stupid things, and go against Lu Yanzhou.

During this period of time, Xie Chengze had already told his confidants to listen to Lu Yanzhou in the future.

He has done almost the rest of the arrangements.

When Lu Yanzhou comes, not only can he take over a clean capital, but he can also get a lot of manpower and a large amount of supplies.

As for him...he wants to see Lu Yanzhou again, and what will happen after that depends on what Lu Yanzhou wants him to do.

After Xie Chengze walked for a while, he met eunuchs and court ladies who were sweeping.

After he launched the palace change, these people were very scared and trembling all the time, but under someone's control, they continued to live as before.

As for the people who control them, their situation is similar to that of Sheng Yuan. They are all his confidants, and they have all been ordered by him to obey Yan Hang's orders.

As for his generals...

Some of them were in the same situation as Sheng Yuan and the others, they had already obtained his orders, and they would listen to Lu Yanzhou's arrangement when the time came, some of them were simply sent by Lu Yanzhou.

He didn't know what the previous Lu Yanzhou was like, but based on his understanding of the Lu Yanzhou he came into contact with, Lu Yanzhou should let these people go.

That is to say, he... always wants to give an explanation to the world.

Xie Chengze thought so, and Xie Chengze's confidantes also thought so.

At this time, Sheng Yuan met with Xie Chengze's other confidant eunuchs and discussed it.

"Yan Hang is coming, what will Lord Qiantose do then?"

"Yan Hang is good, but even if he wants to reassure the world, he can't let Lord Chitose go."

"Didn't Lord Chitose say that Yan Hang would not hurt him?"

"Do you believe that?"

"Lord Chitose has killed so many people recently, how can Yan Hang let him go?"

……

Everyone talked and talked, gradually fell silent, and then said humanely: "Then what shall we do?"

If Xie Chengze died, what would they do?

In the end, Sheng Yuan said: "Master Qiantui paved the way for you, don't let him down, live well."

Hearing what Sheng Yuan said, these people felt very uncomfortable.

Xie Chengze walked around the palace, and Tian Qi, who was ordered to kill someone, returned to his life.

Xie Chengze and Tian Qi had already discussed who they wanted to kill, and today Tian Qi took them with him and killed them all.

"Master Qiantui, it's a good luck not to disgrace your life!" Tian Qi bowed down to salute when he saw Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze asked: "General Tian, ​​if you rush to kill people these days, aren't you afraid that you will die without a place to die?"

Xie Chengze needs someone to help him kill, but he is easy to be liquidated afterwards, and so is the person who helped him kill.

So he originally planned to let his generals take turns to kill people, so that it would be difficult for Lu Yanzhou to pursue him.

In the end, Tian Qi rushed to do the job.

Tian Qi was his instigator, not his confidant, at first Tian Qi helped him blockade the capital and help him catch officials who could not go to court, that was fine, but then Tian Qi killed so many officials...

Tian Qi laughed: "Master Qiantui, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of?"

Xie Chengze raised his eyebrows: "General Tian also has a story?"

Tian Qi said: "There is a story, and it's not a big deal. It was when my younger sister took my daughter-in-law, who had never been married, to an outing, and was killed by the Zhou family's animals."

In fact, Tian Qi's family background is not bad, he is a side branch of a small aristocratic family, the Tian family.

It's a pity that among the aristocratic families, the hierarchy is also strict.

Zhou's family harmed his family, and there was nothing he could do.

He originally thought that he would never be able to avenge him in this life, but he never thought that Xie Chengze would start promoting him and win him over... Later, Xie Chengze went on a rampage against the royal family and aristocratic families.

He had seen the criminal evidence collected by Xie Chengze, those people they wanted to kill, all of them deserved to die!

His parents had passed away not long ago, so he simply followed Xie Chengze and made the knife in Xie Chengze's hand.

As for the future... It doesn't matter if you die.

All his enemies were killed by him!

Xie Chengze said: "Don't worry, I will let Yan Hang spare you."

Tian Qi is a talent, Lu Yanzhou should not kill Tian Qi.

He made an excuse to say that Tian Qi was forced by him, and sent Tian Qi to the frontier to stay for a few years... When Tian Qi came back a few years later, no one would pursue what happened back then.

Tian Qi said: "Lord Qiantui, we have bloodbathed the capital, how could Yan Hang let us go."

Xie Chengze laughed: "Don't worry, he will let it go."

Tian Qi felt that Xie Chengze was tricking him.

It is impossible for Yan Hang to let them go.

Those big families in the capital also felt that it was impossible for Yan Hang to let Xie Chengze go.

The gentry are all relatives, and those left in the capital are all people who have not committed any major crimes. But they have been killed by Xie Chengze and have been scared for so many days. Naturally, they wish Xie Chengze would die immediately.

"Yan Hang is really coming?"

"It should be true!"

"Xie Chengze doesn't need to lie to us."

"I didn't expect Sun Chongshao to be so useless and lose so quickly!"

"Wang Tingyun is indeed Wang Tingyun..."

"We should have followed Wang Tingyun to join Yan Hang."

"So what if you lose your dignity? At least you don't have to die!"

……

After everyone talked about it, they mentioned Xie Chengze's killing spree again today: "That Tian Qi is a mad dog. He broke into many people's homes today, and killed them when he caught them!"

"Brother Li escaped to the capital with great difficulty, and only a few days after his birthday, he encountered such a disaster."

"Xie Chengze is really lawless!"

"You only found out today?"

"Half of the family members in our capital have been killed by him..."

……

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, everyone was extremely uncomfortable, and they were also extremely afraid, fearing that someone would suddenly break in and try to kill them.

And at this time, there is only one thing that can make them feel better: "Yan Hang is coming, and Xie Chengze will definitely not end well!"

"We're going to be saved!"

"A person like Xie Chengze will definitely be cut into pieces by five horses!"

……

These people fantasized about what Xie Chengze was about to encounter, and finally felt much better.

However, when another group of cavalry passed by outside...these people subconsciously looked for a place to hide, all trembling.

However, those people did not come to catch them!

While they were hiding, a servant came in: "Master, I got the news, the rebels are here!"

After the servant finished speaking, he saw that the master who had crawled under the table had peed his pants, and was speechless for a while.

"The rebels are coming!"

"They are finally here!"

"Yan Hang is so powerful, he will definitely be able to capture the capital soon!"

"Shall we give him a hand?"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and then another servant came to report: "Master, the general guarding the city gate opened the gate and let the rebels enter the city!"

These aristocratic families were taken aback for a moment, and then they were overjoyed: "The people under Xie Chengze can't stand Xie Chengze anymore!"

"They surrendered so quickly, it must be for their lives!"

"Xie Chengze is done!"

"Hahahaha!"

……

Those who survived wept with joy.

Xie Chengze's people indeed opened the city gate as soon as they saw Lu Yanzhou and let Lu Yanzhou's people in.

This was explained by Xie Chengze long ago.

However, their feelings are very complicated - they... will they still see their Chitose Lord in the future?

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what these people were thinking.

He has been on a busy journey recently, and has no time to take a bath, so he is very dirty at the moment.

At first, he was worried that Xie Chengze would dislike him seeing him like this, but in the end...he came, but he didn't see Xie Chengze!

Didn't Xie Chengze come to greet him?

Lu Yanzhou immediately asked, "Where is Xie Chengze?"

Tian Qi stepped forward and said: "General Yan, Lord Qiantui is at home, he said he wants to see you...let me guide you!"

Xie Chengze is at home?Lu Yanzhou said: "You don't need to lead the way, I know the way!"

Lu Yanzhou originally wanted to take care of his appearance before going, but he couldn't wait to see Xie Chengze.

Forget it, just go with this look, and then you can complain to Xie Chengze and let Xie Chengze feel sorry for him.

Lu Yanzhou rode his horse and headed directly towards Xie Chengze's residence.

Xie Jia also wanted to see Xie Chengze, so he immediately followed.

Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou's other subordinates followed subconsciously, and even Wang Tingyun, who ran all the way, also followed.

Seeing this scene, Tian Qi waited for Xie Chengze's confidants, and naturally they would not be left behind.

At this moment Tian Qi was actually a little confused.

When they opened the city gate, Lu Yanzhou didn't even send anyone to check it out, and came in without saying a word!

It's fine to come in, he is not in a hurry to let his own people take over the management of the capital, go to Xie Chengze first?

Is he... in a hurry to kill Xie Chengze?

Xie Chengze's residence.

Xie Chengze arranged everything and returned home.

He changed into a red dress and waited for Lu Yanzhou's arrival.

They haven't seen each other for many years, and Lu Yanzhou keeps saying that he wants to see him, so he should be happy to see him?

Telling the servants to leave, Xie Chengze waited for Lu Yanzhou's arrival alone in the yard.

Lu Yanzhou came to the capital very quickly, but it should not be so fast when he came here.

Lu Yanzhou, who has just entered the capital, always needs to understand the situation first.

But he is willing to wait, even if it takes a few days, it doesn't matter.

In fact, he was most afraid that Lu Yanzhou would not want to see him, so he directly sent someone to arrest him and send him to prison.

If this is the case, he can only kill himself quickly.

As soon as Xie Chengze thought of this, he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance.

A group of people on horseback came over, and these people were riding very fast!

Xie Chengze frowned.

The team stopped at the door of his residence, and then the door of his house was smashed open... Xie Chengze's heart sank.

Is this Lu Yanzhou's men who came to arrest him?

Xie Chengze was a little disappointed.

The red dress on his body is the most gorgeous dress he has ever worn in his life, similar to a woman's wedding dress.

He wanted Lu Yanzhou to take a look.

In this case... Maybe Lu Yanzhou will remember him for the rest of his life?

But now, Lu Yanzhou isn't here?

Just as Xie Chengze thought this way, he saw a strong man with a beard rushing in, opened his mouth and shouted: "Ah Ze, I miss you to death!"

Xie Chengze: "..." This is Lu Yanzhou? !

Well, this is indeed Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou... came to see him just after entering the city?

Xie Chengze was pleasantly surprised, but also a little apprehensive, and then saw that sloppy man rushing forward, hugged him, and kissed him on the mouth: "Ah Ze, long time no see."

Xie Chengze was stunned.

The people who were standing at the door and the people who followed Lu Yanzhou were also stunned.

Everyone was stunned, only Lu Yanzhou not only picked up Xie Chengze and weighed it, but also said: "Ah Ze, you've lost weight! And you look so good in this red dress!"

Xie Chengze: "..." This situation is not quite right.
