"How can we just sell off our ancestral heritage? Besides, who in Yanyun could possibly buy all that land?"
"I think you want to stay here and be a farmhand. Don't forget that without an official position, no matter how much land you have, it will be taken away sooner or later. Only by being an official can you continue the family lineage."
"Will I be given an official position if I go to the Liao Dynasty? Logically speaking, we are the descendants of the first and second branches, but before, it was the descendants of the third and fifth branches who made the decisions. Isn't it much better now than before?"
"Hmph, you are so short-sighted! I'm afraid you'll have the life to acquire this inheritance, but not the life to spend it!"
"you!"
"Okay, stop arguing."
Seeing that everyone had different opinions, Han Suiyi knocked his cane hard on the ground and said, "We are all family, what is there to argue about?"
The others snorted coldly. Han Suiyi had no prestige. It was just that the family had encountered a sudden change, so they temporarily elected the person with the highest seniority as the patriarch.
But now is definitely not the time to quarrel.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Han Suiyi's eldest son, Han Yuanfeng, said, "Father, I saw that Zhao Jun didn't make any noise before he left. I guess he can't do anything to us. Why don't we send someone to contact our relatives in Liao to see if they have any solution?"
"Forehead"
Speaking of this, Han Suiyi hesitated for a moment.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Han Yuanfeng asked in surprise: "Father, what's wrong?"
"Actually, the Liao Kingdom sent someone to deliver a letter a few days ago, but I was afraid that the Song people would find out, so I didn't dare tell anyone."
Han Suiyi said.
"What? There's actually a letter. Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?"
"What exactly does the letter say? Does it want us to go north?"
"Uncle Eight, please tell me quickly."
Everyone was suddenly surprised.
Han Suiyi smiled bitterly and said, "The letter tells us to act as an insider and keep an eye on the news of the Song people."
"You're not asking us to go to Liao."
Some people were greatly disappointed.
"It's good to be an insider. My Great Liao will come back one day, and we will be the heroes then."
"Song is so powerful, can Liao still come back?"
"The Song people have always been weak and vulnerable. They are only temporarily successful. What are you afraid of?"
"Hmm"
Some people in the room were hesitant, some were wavering, some were excited, and some were overjoyed.
Compared to those who are at a higher level and can see the situation clearly, their vision is still too narrow after all.
"Well, then we can be the insiders. Don't we have nephews and nephews working in the state government? Let them help us get the information."
Seeing that no one objected, Han Suiyi decided on this policy.
He said, "You all should go back first. When the time comes, I will tell your children to pay attention and gather here if there is any disturbance in the Song court."
"Well, that's it."
"Uncle Eight, we'll take our leave now."
Everyone stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a servant came in hurriedly and said, "Oh no, Master, there are many officials outside."
Before the servant could finish his words, the gate of Han's mansion was kicked open and groups of ferocious-looking soldiers rushed in.
The leader shouted, "Han Suiyi, you've been caught, come with us!"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked around, grinning grimly, "They're all here, so we don't have to look for them one by one. Let's just bring them all back!"
In an instant, everyone thought they were discovered as spies, and their faces turned pale and they collapsed to the ground.
