Chapter 164: There is a strange attraction in him

"If the governor of Qingzhou really wanted to suppress the bandits, how could he have allowed a group of bandits to grow stronger for so long?"

What Zhang Dayi thought was not much different from what Xie Yuchuan thought.

Xie Yuchuan pointed to the Min family caravan that had been following the exile team.

"There are quite a few martial artists in that caravan. With their skills, it wouldn't be difficult for them to protect the goods. Although Daliang merchants aren't well-known, the imperial court doesn't strictly suppress their bartering activities. They're so scared by local robbers that they'd rather follow the soldiers escorted by the government. There might be something going on at Panlong Ridge."

After listening to Xie Yuchuan, Zhang Dayi nodded in agreement.

"The task of suppressing bandits and eliminating evil in Qingzhou cannot be solved simply by mobilizing troops."

"In that case, it will be very dangerous for our exile team to cross Panlong Ridge?" Xie Wenjie said with some concern.

Xie Wuying took two quick steps and followed, very curious: "Is there collusion between officials and businessmen in Qingzhou?"

"Not necessarily." Zhang Hanlin said.

Xie Wuying looked at Xie Yuchuan again: "What did Sixth Brother say?"

Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment and whispered, "If the northern border is unstable and wars are frequent, then with Qiuling Pass as the boundary, Qingzhou is adjacent to Qiuling Pass, and it will be difficult to go south or north. Do you remember the border military report that morning when we left Songjiang Town?"

Xie Wuying and Xie Wenjie recalled that day and both nodded.

On the day we left Songjiang Town, as soon as the city gates opened, the post horses galloped away.

Passersby entering and leaving the city were all talking about the war in the north, and they had heard a lot along the way.

"If the border is unstable, the number of refugees entering will increase, and with more people, there will be more chaos. If someone hoards goods and manipulates people's lives, local officials will be caught between the imperial court and the gentry, and will not support them from above, and will not obey orders from below. The lives of the refugees are in danger, and they will not be able to take care of other things. If they fail to handle the situation properly, the blame will go beyond the trivial matter of failing to suppress the bandits."

Xie Wuying pondered for a moment and nodded, "Sixth Brother, I understand. When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one. This means the Qingzhou local officials might choose a lighter punishment."

"But letting the robbers go is also detrimental to one's duties. Aren't you afraid of backlash if they're not used properly?" Xie Wenjie still felt that this move was too risky. "After all, they're a group of thugs who commit murder, robbery, and other evildoers. Once they start something like that, it's hard to turn back."

Xie Wuying didn't have as many concerns as him. "When people can't survive, whoever feeds them is their father! What's more, if they can provide them with food and shelter, they are their living father!"

Xie Wuying's words were a bit rough.

But the words were rough but the truth was there, even the household god Tu Huan, who was hiding and "eavesdropping", was amused by them.

She was a little surprised that Xie Yuchuan talked so much today.

Normally, he would not be in such a good mood and have such patience to explain such things in detail to the two brothers. And Comrade Zhang Hanlin next to him, this old gentleman seemed to have let himself go since he opened up his heart. He didn't care about self-preservation at all. He was calm and low-key, and said whatever he wanted to say.

At first, she was disheartened and went into exile with her mother. However, after realizing that the Xie family had the support of the "gods", the old man's mindset changed very smoothly. After spending many days together, she saw that he almost forgot that he used to be an official in the Hanlin Academy. Now he regarded himself as the "staff" of the Xie family, doing his best to help the children of the Xie family.

Xie Yuchuan and the others could naturally feel his goodwill.

Even when Tu Huan came over from time to time, she could clearly feel the respect that Xie Yuchuan, Xie Wuying, Xie Wenjie and other brothers had for Zhang Dayi.

Tu Huan also learned a life lesson from Zhang Dayi.

That is, a person who is knowledgeable, wise, and not stubborn can find a path that suits him no matter what the circumstances.

If there is a road, just walk on it. Maybe the road will become wider as you walk.

Tu Huan discovered that, in essence, Xie Yuchuan and Zhang Hanlin belonged to the same type of people.

They are all people with a strong mentality that can adapt to life. Even if they are frustrated temporarily, they will never give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

No wonder Xie Yuchuan has a different attitude towards Zhang Dayi.

He even didn't mind revealing some information about the "house god" to him.

Tu Huan looked at Xie Yuchuan's face as he spoke calmly to his brothers, and always felt that the relationship between Zhang Dayi and the Xie family was getting closer, and Xie Yuchuan was also secretly adding fuel to the fire.

There seems to be some strange attraction about Xie Yuchuan.

It can make people unconsciously come into contact with him...

“…” Tu Huan was stunned.

Huh?

It seemed that she was "forced" to help him because of those sincere messages for help she received?

Although it started out because the system was stuck in the gap between dual time and space and couldn't do anything.

But... when she saw him like that, she didn't seem to be opposed to helping him.

Somehow, Tu Huan's thoughts jumped to the jade seal on Xie Yuchuan.

It really wasn't her overthinking.

She really felt that Xie Yuchuan had...every since he got the jade seal.

It was as if the frustration in my body disappeared.

I always feel that he has become different from before from head to toe, as if... more calm and determined.

Moreover, I always get distracted.

I don’t know what’s going on in that head?

Her phone had never received those messages, even though he had received similar messages before when his mood was fluctuating greatly.

Tu Huan observed for a long time how Xie Yuchuan analyzed the problem and the contradictions between the two people.

Xie Yuchuan's mentality seemed to have changed.

She couldn't tell how much he had changed, but she could clearly feel from the other party's gradually determined gaze that Xie Yuchuan was doing "something".

Hey, it made her curious.

Could it be that Xie Yuchuan has really made up his mind?

Last time, I asked her what kind of person she thought was suitable to be a king.

While Tu Huan, who was hiding beside Xie Yuchuan, was still trying to figure out what Xie Yuchuan was thinking as he patiently taught his younger brothers, Xie Yuchuan had already secretly understood the personalities and tempers of the two brothers, Xie Wuying and Xie Wenjie, from their different views and perspectives on the same thing.

At this time, the two young men had no idea what their sixth brother was planning on them.

The two of them felt that listening to your words was worth ten years of reading.

During exile, I was able to listen to both Sixth Brother and Mr. Zhang, which together amounted to twenty years of life experience.

It’s so worth it!

After Zhang Dayi's speech, he found that the kid from the Xie family was really good!

The key to being quick-witted and learning quickly is to have a positive attitude and a high level of comprehension.

Before he entered the officialdom, he had taught students in an academy for a period of time. Whenever he met subordinates with whom he got along well, he also liked to teach them.

At this time, walking aside and listening closely to how the brothers from the aristocratic families helped each other, Zhang Hanlin's "desire to be a teacher" that had almost died became active again.

The road to exile was painful and unbearable.

His gaze involuntarily drifted from the little boy's head to the two brothers who were listening attentively.

Zhang Dayi thought, one is also teaching, two is also forcing, three... is just enough to make a table.

Xie Wenjie's way of looking at things and doing things is quite similar to his.

But Xie Wuying's ideas always made him feel enlightened.

Fish and bear's paw, both seem delicious.
