Chapter 64: The Lord's Mansion of Dengmen
This is the benefit of the art of war, which is often unexpected and unpredictable!
City Lord's Mansion, Study!
The argument continued, and the retainers discussed to no avail, and the lord of the city sat drowsy and rolled his eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
may feel that there is no way to come up with a countermeasure if this kind of argument continues, but after a while, the city lord slapped the table and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, shut up, this matter will be discussed later, if this continues, when will there be a result." ”
"The guy who won the first crown, just leave there, when he is willing to leave, he will naturally leave, he can't stay here all the time!"
"During this time, send people to contact those bandits and let them restrain themselves, otherwise this crown will not leave every day, and then they will not toss my old bones to death. ”
……
Hearing this, all the retainers nodded, and no one dared to disagree with the views of the city lord.
"Okay, let's report on the harvest of this time!" the city lord took another sip of good tea, and then said lightly.
"Lord Qiqi City Lord, in the past six months, the Qilin thieves have attacked a total of one hundred and two villages in the east, plundering 1,700 quintals of grain and 326 volumes of cloth......
"A few days ago, they had sent half of the harvest to the city according to the regulations, and sent an additional dozen beautiful girls. ”
"And the harvest of the bitter mountain thieves in the past half a year is not very good......"
……
There was a sound of books, as if a retainer had opened the account books and reported them one by one.
Mo Xuan didn't understand it at first, but after listening carefully, he suddenly realized.
In an instant, Mo Xuan was furious, eager to break the Dongyang City Lord into pieces.
Mo Xuan heard everything in his ears and had insight into the real situation of Dongyang County, as if he was a family of officials and bandits.
The city lord of Dongyang and the others didn't care whether the people lived or died, and they even colluded with the bandits, acted in embarrassment, and harmed the people, which was really mad.
They promised the robbers that they would not send troops against them or shelter the people, but in return, they would share the spoils with them after each plunder.
What's even more hateful is that they also provide the bandits with village information, opening the door for the bandits' plunder, regardless of their status as court officials.
These people took advantage of this ice and snow disaster to unite with the bandits, hoping to make a fortune in silence.
The price of this wealth is the life of the people!
After seeing all this, Mo Xuan was angry and wanted to cry out for those people.
He felt a sense of sorrow and the decay of the great cadres.
He grieves for the people, for the good men who died on the battlefield!
I want them to be a dignified seven-foot man, in order to protect their homeland, for the happiness of the people, for the relatives behind them, the horse leather shroud, crisscrossing the battlefield, and finally burying their bones in another country!
What a miserable end!
But behind them, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials have made a mess of the home they have managed to protect, which is really hateful.
Thinking of this, Mo Xuan couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.
Is there any way for such a decaying dynasty to continue to exist, or is it necessary to continue to defend it?
Immediately, Mo Xuan shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly.
He suddenly remembered that he had never meant to protect the decadent and lonely dynasty of Daqian, and it was the people and the village that he fought for.
He doesn't care about the survival of the court, he doesn't want such a rotten and absurd court.
From another point of view, the imperial court is still his opponent, you must know that Mo Xuan and his brothers are guilty of capital crimes.
All kinds of distracting thoughts swirled in Mo Xuan's mind, making him more and more disappointed in the imperial court.
After a long time, Mo Xuan let out a long sigh, withdrew his Xuan power, and ended the "wall has ears".
He couldn't listen to it anymore, and every time he listened to a report, his killing intent became stronger.
Seeing Mo Xuan's face so ugly, Mo Li was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and kept asking, "What did you hear?"
Seeing that Mo Li was very curious, Mo Xuan did not hide it, and told Mo Li everything he had heard.
After hearing all this, Mo Li was furious, his temper was far hotter than Mo Xuan, and he immediately couldn't hold back that anger, and wanted to blow the head of the Dongyang City Lord with a fist.
Fortunately, Mo Xuan had expected this result, and quickly stopped Mo Li and didn't let him act rashly.
"This is the base camp of the Dongyang City Lord, and we can't do anything here no matter how angry we are. ”
"We don't have evidence, so we acted rashly, then the Dongyang City Lord just has an excuse to suppress us, you know, now he is respectful to us, it is because of his identity. ”
"Once he has an excuse, then with the strength of you and me, I'm afraid it will be far from enough to compete with the entire Dongyang City. ”
……
Mo Xuan analyzed, making Mo Li gradually calm down.
"Alas...... It's so fucking aggrieved, what kind of bullshit is this world, the official is not an official, the people are not the people, or our Mocun is comfortable, where are there so many conspiracies. Mo Li sat back and scolded in a low voice.
"These are troubled times!"
Mo Xuan also sat back, and then sighed, having another layer of understanding of the essence of the world.
"What's next?" said Mo Li, scratching his head, rather irritated.
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, Dongyang City Lord is in a hurry, they want to make a show, let's leave early after we put our minds at ease, we don't. ”
"They are afraid that we don't know how to lift, they are afraid that we will toss, we just don't know how to lift, but we have to toss. ”
"Whatever they're afraid of, we'll do!"
……
Mo Xuan tapped his fingers lightly, all kinds of plans brewing in his heart.
"So, are you going to leave after completely solving the problem of Dongyang County?" asked Mo Li with wide eyes.
"You and I are brothers, don't you know what I think, I can see what you think. Mo Xuan smiled faintly, making Mo Li stunned for a while.
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled!
Both understand that in this troubled world, being alone is the way to protect one's life.
But their brothers came down the mountain with a lot of blood, with a pure heart, which is different from the thinking of most people in this world.
When the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, save the people from fire and water, and ensure the safety of the people, which is the way of the soldiers.
This practice is not only the cultivation of strength, but also the cultivation of the mind.
Only by acting according to one's heart and being worthy of one's heart can we cultivate to the top.
As a teenager, who doesn't want to be angry with fresh clothes, smiling proudly in the red dust, acting righteously, and being happy and vengeful......
Years later, Mo Xuan and the others may feel that what they think and do today is childish and stupid, but they will never regret it.
After all...... This is youth!
Inside, the candlelight flickered, and the two brothers got together and began to discuss the next thing.
The night passed, and the next day, early in the morning, Mo Xuan and the others left the inn and went to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hurry up and report to your city lord, His Royal Highness the First Crown King has come to visit!"
Hearing this, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion hurriedly went in to report.
In the mansion, the city lord of Dongyang was flirting with the beautiful concubine, and suddenly heard the report of the guard, and his face immediately sank.
"This damn crown king, come early in the morning to disturb the peace of the city lord!" Dongyang City Lord scolded and scolded, and could only reluctantly withdraw his palm from the beautiful concubine's chest, then straighten out the messy robe, and push the door out.
"Lead the way!"
Glaring fiercely at the guards who reported the report, the Dongyang City Lord shouted.
The guard nodded hurriedly, secretly complaining, and could only lead the way with his head bowed.
When he was about to go out, the gloomy look on the face of the Dongyang City Lord finally retracted and was replaced with a full smile.
"Oh, His Royal Highness came to the door in person, which really flattered the lower officials, please come in, please come in!" The city lord of Dongyang greeted him and said with a smile.
"I hope that the city lord will not blame the sin of disturbing!" Mo Xuan smiled slightly and entered the mansion with the Dongyang City Lord.
In the house, luxurious and erosive, every palace is magnificent, many ponds are full of fine wine, pavilions and pavilions are arranged according to the formation, the whole city lord's mansion is atmospheric and gorgeous, I don't know how much financial resources have been spent.
The Dongyang City Lord led Mo Xuan and Mo Li to the reception hall, and after the two sides took their seats, the Dongyang City Lord clapped his palms, and suddenly a group of beautiful waiters began to serve the food with delicious food.
"Has Your Highness ever had breakfast? If not, then you have to try the skills of these chefs under my tutelage. After the dishes were served, the Dongyang City Lord said with a smile.
After that, he hugged the two beautiful concubines and fed them affectionately with his mouth open.
"No need!" Mo Xuan refused lightly, frowning slightly at this scene.
The "breakfast" in front of you, each dish is worth a lot of money, all of them are the best ingredients, many of them are leg meat from war beasts, and ordinary people don't want to eat a bite in their lives.
And right now, the city lord of Dongyang slapped his palms at will, and hundreds of such delicacies were served, just one breakfast, so many dishes had to be made, I have to say that this level of extravagance and waste is definitely worthy of the name of "city lord".
Mo Xuan quietly watched the Dongyang City Lord dine, very patient, and did not rush to speak.
The Dongyang City Lord may have been stared at a little uncomfortable, so after nibbling a few bites of chicken thighs at random, he signaled his subordinates to withdraw the dishes and end the breakfast.
Mo Xuan noticed that after these precious dishes were taken down, they were directly thrown together as garbage, and ninety percent of the dishes had not been touched, which made Mo Xuan and Mo Li feel distressed.
It's also a waste.
"I don't know why His Highness came to the door!" wiped the corners of his mouth, and the Dongyang City Lord said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mo Xuan retracted his gaze, then got up and said, "I can't hide it, this time I came to the door to discuss important matters." ”
"Oh?" the Dongyang City Lord picked up a bowl of fragrant tea and put it to his lips, his eyes revealing inquiring.
"Please also ask the city lord of Dongyang to open a granary and give relief to the victims!" Mo Xuan looked directly at him and said sonorously.
"Poof!"
Hearing this, the fragrant tea that the Dongyang City Lord had just put into his stomach squirted out directly.
"What did Your Highness say? Open the warehouse and release grain? Impossible, impossible!" The Dongyang City Lord slammed the fragrant tea bowl on the table, and said in a rather angry manner.
He was so angry that he was really afraid of something.
He was afraid that Mo Xuan would make trouble for him, but Mo Xuan was still looking for trouble, and he came to the door early in the morning, which really annoyed him.
Faced with such a violent reaction from the Dongyang City Lord, Mo Xuan didn't say a word, just flicked his shirt.
I saw that at the placket of his clothes, a token swayed gently!
