Chapter 31: The Robbery of the County Lord
Wei State, Great Liang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
As the capital of the Wei State, the prosperity of Daliang is naturally undoubted, and the so-called emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Although there are wars of all sizes taking place every day in the Spring and Autumn Continent, there is no obstacle to the exchange of goods and services between them to promote their respective economies.
Daliang is not only the center of politics, but also the backbone of Wei's economy, and its annual tax revenue has reached almost 30% of the country's total.
In the huge city, shops are everywhere, and the peddlers and pawns are crowded, so it is not lively.
As the morning fog gradually faded, the city gates of the four sides were wide open, ushering in a massive flow of people.
However, just today, the gates of the city everywhere suddenly increased the endless slaughter than usual.
On the city wall, there were three or two guards who were lazy in the past, but at this time, they were all replaced by fierce warriors who killed with iron and blood, five steps, one sentry, three steps and one post, and the eyes under the hideous armor were like hungry wolves shuttling through all the places mentioned by the eyes. At the city gate, in addition to the tax collectors, there was also a team of samurai in the same costume, all dressed in dark armor, holding halberds, carrying sharp swords at their waists, carrying long bows, and even a short dagger tied to their calves.
Anyone who entered and exited the city gates, regardless of their identity, was subjected to the strictest search by this group of samurai, but whenever there was a complaint, it was responded to a fierce iron fist, and in a short time, it had already aroused resentment.
"It's such a strict check, the samurai who suddenly appeared on the city wall and in the city gate must be the ...... The legendary Wei Wushu? "Those who have a clever mind are not without a deaf tongue.
Hearing his words, the people around him were all in awe, and they no longer dared to complain in the slightest.
Wei Wushu, the strongest existence in the Wei * team, although the number is small, but since its establishment, there has never been a defeat. The fame is forged entirely by the blood of the enemy.
For other countries, Wei Wushu is the devil, but for the people of Wei, it is not enough to say that he is a hero.
In the past, Wei Wushu would only appear on their respective battlefields, and it is said that some of them also guarded the palace, but it was the first time they appeared in the city gate like today.
From this, it is not difficult to know that something terrible must have happened in Daliang City in the past night.
It's people, and they all have gossip feelings.
No, in a three-way * Hui teahouse near the North City Gate, I couldn't help but search the traffic jammed, and among the many guests who rushed into the morning tea here, there were many troubled people, and began to show off triumphantly.
"Hehe, my buddy's distant cousin is on an errand in the Si Yao Bureau. Everyone knows that Si Yao Bureau was shot by the king's personal order a hundred years ago, and he was in charge of the water in the city. And just last night, at ten points on the fourth watch, the Chuanguo Mansion in the south of the city suddenly went out of the water, and the fire was monstrous, almost illuminating half of the beams. In order to prevent the spread of the fire, Si Yao Bureau mobilized almost all the horses to extinguish the fire. It wasn't until the fifth watch that the fire was finally brought under control. It's a pity that the huge Guogong Mansion has been unrecognizable and most of it has been destroyed. The tall and thin man said with regret.
I don't know how much property was burned by this fire, but I knew that this was the case, even if I took it out for charity, I could get a lot of money in my own hands.
"Zhu Rong is ruthless, but what does this have to do with what is in front of him. Although the status of the prince of the country is respected, his ancestors were born in the royal family, but after thousands of years, several generations have been scattered, and the blood relationship has long been estranged. With their current status, how could they afford to mobilize Wei Wushu? Someone next to him immediately refuted.
"Hehe, what this brother said is good. Now in Daliang City, the only one who is qualified to mobilize Wei Wushu is His Majesty the current king. And even if the Mansion of the Kingdom is completely burned, it is not worth Wei Wushu's action, but what if His Majesty's heavy treasure is lost in this fire? was questioned, but the tall and thin man was not annoyed at all, but mysteriously whetted everyone's appetite.
"Heavy treasure?" Hearing these two words, the eyes of the entire teahouse lit up, "What kind of baby is it?" ”
"Tell me, it's what a baby."
Many anxious people have already asked noisily.
But this tall and thin man is really hateful, seeing that he has satisfied the appetite of outsiders, but he is tepid, and the person who looks at it is called a gritted tooth, and his heart itches with hatred.
"Hmph, clever words, there is no more mouth left and right, and it's not all what you say. According to me, these two things are fundamentally incompatible. The heavy treasure of the fart, let's think about it, since it is the heavy treasure of the king who does not hesitate to mobilize Wei Wushu, how can it be placed in the Chuanguo Mansion, I am afraid that it has already entered the treasury of the inner court. Someone really couldn't look at it, and immediately mocked in a weird tone.
As soon as this remark came out, it was reasonable, and immediately attracted everyone's applause, along with the shamelessness of cursing the tall and thin man.
"Phew, Bah, Bah! Dare to say grandpa, I am clever in my words, I think you are squirting feces all over your mouth? Who said that a heavy treasure must be a dead thing, can't it be a person? Seeing that he was in an embattled situation, the tall and thin man didn't dare to stretch it anymore, and hurriedly came out to refute the rumors.
"People?!" Sure enough, his remarks had an immediate effect and changed the unfavorable public opinion situation.
"Hmph, haven't you forgotten what is the most famous of the Heirloom Mansion?"
"You—you mean...... Praise the county lord!! As soon as he was reminded, someone finally reacted and couldn't help but exclaim.
Speaking of this praise of the county lord, everyone in the Wei Kingdom knows it, and its fame is even louder than that of the king in the palace.
The reason why this is so is because of her beauty, as early as when she was eleven or twelve years old, she was like a fairy and was regarded as the first beauty of Wei. Second, because she has a bad fate, they all say that she is jealous and famous, and since she was born, half of the three souls and seven spirits have been innate sealed, which caused her to be stupid and stupid, and she was pitiful, until a few years ago, a serious illness almost died.
Everyone still remembers that at that time, in order to save the life of his baby granddaughter, the old man did not hesitate to post a medical list, if anyone can cure the illness of the county lord of Baoyun, he will be rewarded with a hundred catties of seals, which has attracted the attention of countless doctors, but they have returned with regrets, just when countless people who care about this matter are in despair, the county lord of Baoyun has been cured, not only that, but even half of the three souls and seven spirits that have been sealed with him have also been awakened, and they have completely walked out of the shadow of the mentally handicapped.
"Hehe, there's one thing you don't know. Just half a year ago, His Majesty had already hired the old prince to marry the lord of the county, and promised the queen laurel that had been vacant for many years. Now, everyone understands why a fire actually caused Wei Wushu to dispatch. In the end, the tall and thin man put on an image of Zhuge who knew five hundred years before and five hundred years later, and wanted to burn more love.
Just as the tavern was in the midst of a heated discussion to uncover the secrets, no one noticed that in a remote corner, there were two guests wearing hats, silent.
"No wonder there was such a reaction, it turned out that the woman turned out to be the future queen." The man on the left muttered and pulled the hat on his head, which could cover the divine light in his eyes.
"Now...... Ahem, it's hard to get things done. The voice of the person opposite was hoarse and sickly weak, and as soon as the words fell, he could not stop coughing.
"Report the situation here, with the two of us, it is basically impossible to leave Daliang City with a target."
"And only ...... Ahem, that's it. Damn it. ”
