please!I don't want to be a villain!

The four returned home in a panic, and the snow in the northwest was gradually falling.

Inside the slowly moving carriage, Patriarch Lin had a look of regret on his face, "Brother Zhang, I regret not listening to you! The commander-in-chief of the three armies is so vicious, I will definitely announce this to the public when I go back!"

"Farewell, it's fine to announce it to the public, otherwise we may not survive when we go back." Zhang Zhengxin looked helplessly at his severed hand that had been bandaged, and it was definitely impossible for the hand to grow back.

He naturally knew what was waiting for him when he returned to the capital, he could either compromise and become a hero that Qi needed; or he would refuse and become an unknown corpse.

"Could it be possible to let this matter go like this? We could have saved so many people from dying!" Patriarch Lin said angrily.

"Even if you don't know how to think about yourself, you still have to think about your son. An old man who became a hero of Qi is not the same as someone who died in obscurity." Zhang Zhengxin continued.

"But second brother, I think this is unfair! Could it be that other people died for nothing like this!" Zhang Liangcai said.

"How can there be so much fairness in the world? Think about how few people died when our family fought for the mine?" Zhang Zhengxin raised his head and looked outside the carriage.

"Okay, you should listen to your second brother. After returning to Beijing, there will be a reward, just accept the reward." Patriarch Jiang said.

The wind and snow all over the sky submerged nothing but the nameless corpse. Qi State needed heroes, heroes with general spiritual symbols, and these people who came back alive were just right.

On the slow way back, the four of them finally returned to the capital.

"Several, Your Majesty will receive you!" A guard came to the carriage.

It seems that King Wu has already ascended the throne, but that's okay, they all belong to the family that made the right bet.

Patriarch Jiang and Zhang Liangcai supported Patriarch Lin to get out of the carriage, and Zhang Zhengxin also got out of the carriage slowly.

The four of them walked towards the imperial city under the escort of the guards. In front of the imperial city, a man in a dragon robe came out.

"Several strong men, everything is busy, you can't stay away! Don't blame!" Qi Kaiyuan said.

To be received by the emperor in person is already a great honor for a person from Qi.

But Zhang Zhengxin didn't think so, because it was very strange, even if he wanted to meet him, it should be when he was relying on the rewards of the three armies, instead of directly meeting him as soon as he returned to Beijing.

"You all come from Lin Dongcheng, I don't know if you know people from the Zhang family in Lin Dongcheng." Qi Kaiyuan said, without the airs of the emperor at all.

"Your Majesty, the four of us are all from Lin Dongcheng, and my brother Zhang Liangcai and I are from the Zhang family! Of these two, one is from the Jiang family and the other is from the Lin family." Zhang Zhengxin replied one by one.

A companion is like a tiger. At this time, Qi Kaiyuan's attitude is not very clear, so he can only answer cautiously.

But after hearing Zhang Zhengxin's answer, Qi Kaiyuan showed a slight smile on his face, and secretly said in his heart, "It seems that these people are specially sent by Mr. Xiao to help me, but it's a pity that they were murdered by the emperor. Well, it's just that he is a bit sinister."

If it weren't for his younger brother not having any interest in the throne, he would definitely get rid of this younger brother immediately, because this younger brother is too evil.

"I don't know, what's your name? Do you know a young man named Zhang Tianba?" Qi Kaiyuan continued to ask.

"Caomin, Zhang Zhengxin. I have a nephew named Zhang Tianba, but he is not yet ten years old at this time. How did His Majesty know him?" Zhang Zhengxin replied, but the doubts in his heart became more and more serious. How did you know your nephew?

"Hahaha, that's it. I heard that there is a five-realm expert in your family?" Qi Kaiyuan laughed.

"My sister-in-law is indeed a strong man of the five realms, but she has been back for the last three days, so your majesty does not need to care." If my family just ostentatiously sits on a strong man of the five realms, I am afraid that it will arouse the fear of the court.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang Zhuang misunderstood. I don't mean anything else. I just met him by chance." Qi Kaiyuan waved his hand and continued, "Master Zhang, you can rest in the middle of the capital first, and then reward you when the spring begins."

"Your Majesty! I am the head of the Lin family. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold a post in Beijing. Can I use my position to exchange a monument for those who died?" The head of the Lin family directly knelt down.

"It's natural. I won't let the strong men feel cold. This stele will definitely be erected. It will be erected in the military mausoleum outside the city. If there is a patriarch in the body, it is not appropriate to stay in the capital. When the time comes You can go back to Lin Dongcheng and take up a spare job."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The other three also knelt down together.

"The four are injured, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly!"

After Qi Kaiyuan received the four people, he returned to the imperial city again, and the young prince was also in the imperial city at this time.

"Imperial brother, you have done this before! Fortunately, everyone from Lin Dongcheng is fine."

"Brother Huang, could it be that the little gentleman you are talking about is from Lin Dong?" The young man laughed, not caring about Qi Kaiyuan's expression at all.

Because he knew that as long as he was not interested in the throne, the emperor would not do anything to him.

"Yes, it's Lin Dongcheng's Zhang family. He said that next year he will want someone from me. Do you think he wants you?" Qi Kaiyuan turned his head with a sneer on his face.

"Who knows, let's talk about it when the time comes. Now the people in the capital are almost rectified, but we still have to wait for the beginning of spring." The young man said casually.

"Is it true that even the Taifu's family will not be spared?" Qi Kaiyuan asked the boy.

"It's not just the Situ family, it's the same with other families too. Emperor brother, you have to know that once the emperor and the courtiers, the heart is not cruel and the emperor is not the emperor!" The young man put down the scroll in his hand, "But the emperor's sister-in-law, you can give it to someone Face, but can't give more."

"Okay! Listen to you, you are smarter than me!" Qi Kaiyuan turned his head.

"Brother Huang, your title to the throne is unfair. If you want to sit firmly, you still have to rely on these aristocratic families in the capital, especially those who are squeezed out by the princelings. He will no longer be the emperor's uncle!" The boy continued.

"I know!" Qi Kaiyuan replied loudly.

"Besides, Brother Huang is based in the army. Even if you want to use the princelings, you have to wait. When you can really suppress the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, you can use whoever you want! But now When they should be punished, they should be severely punished!"

"Hmm..." Qi Kaiyuan nodded and let out a long breath.

The current situation is like this, he can't help but choose, he can only follow the general trend, and those who go against the general trend will die.

The snowflakes in the capital were accompanied by sadness, many aristocratic families were liquidated, all the men were imprisoned, and the female relatives were filled into Jiaofangsi.

In the sky prison, no matter which family they are from, no matter how high and powerful they were in the past, they are now just prisoners.

"I heard that in the spring of the coming year, Qi Er will auction off the female relatives, and we will all be recruited into the frontier army."

Hearing this, the old man just shook his head slightly.

"The auction is only used to suppress our prestige. If you really want to buy it, no one will dare to buy it. But it will be hard to say when the daughters are charged as the Jiaofang Secretary. At that time, everyone will know that we are gone, and they will become a plaything."

"What's more, if the boys go to the frontier, they will be close to death!"

"Hahaha, yes! There are many deaths outside the customs, and there are no veterans in the frontier!" The man said helplessly.
