Chapter 47: Haiyang

The so-called calamity is not from this group of people, but from someone else.

The Gao family migrated, with hundreds of people, so Zhou Feiyan naturally had to send someone to notify Haiyang County in advance to arrange food and accommodation.

At this time, in Haiyang County, people turned on their backs. The general came in person, and Liu Dingshan, the county commander who had only been in office for a short time, hated to kneel and lick, where did he dare to slacken. Collect ingredients, arrange accommodation, sprinkle water to clean the street, and ······. More than one of his subordinates was commanded to jump up and down, and Liu Dingshan himself was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

Finally, everything was ready, and after Liu Dingshan personally inspected it, he took a group of ruffians who were crowned by monkeys and rushed to the south gate of the county to greet them. The left can't wait, the right can't wait. I waited until dark, but I still didn't see the general's frame. Someone investigated, and ran for more than ten miles without seeing a figure. Liu Dingshan returned to the county government in a daze, and with his wooden fish head, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

In Haiyang County, there are only seven second-level administrative township forts such as Gaojiabao. In order to make up the nine, two spontaneous associations of the people were allowed to exist outside the township. One is the Haiyang Trading Company, a community where businessmen with a bit of strength in the county huddle together to keep warm. Gaojiabao's high-speed railway, because of the management of money and business in the fort, has a lot of contact with Hu Haifan, the president of Haiyang Trading Company. The other is called the Capture Sea Society, which is made up of a group of fishmongers.

Liu Dingshan was originally a fish seller in the vegetable market. He has a face full of meat, five big and three thick. Relying on brute force, he recruited a group of prodigals to bully and dominate the market. If there is no accident, this person's life will be like this.

After the fish market in the county was monopolized by him, he always forced the prices of suppliers, so that fishmongers would rather ship to other counties than supply him. In desperation, Liu Dingshan decided to go to the beach in person and directly ask the fishermen to buy fish. I don't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky, but he was robbed by someone from Shanghai Matang disguised as a robber. That time, the Seahorse Hall bizarrely did not go on a killing spree, but took away a lot of people. Liu Dingshan is among them.

It didn't take long for Liu Dingshan and a small number of captives to escape back. The official narrative is that they took advantage of the fact that the robbers who were guarding them were not looking, exploded and crashed the robbers into the sea, grabbed a boat and escaped. As for the traces of the robbers, nothing is known, saying that they have been floating at sea for the past few days.

Since then, however, the robbers have become more elusive, robbing one by one, and have never met with officers and soldiers. Clear-eyed people know that the robbers are pretended to be people from Haimatang, and they also know that there are their spies, but they have never found evidence, and they are helpless.

Liu Dingshan didn't come back alone, but brought back a sworn brother, Qian Erzhu. Thin and thin, with a bitter and hateful face. It is said that the fishermen of Chen Kingdom in the south were also captured by robbers. If you can escape this time, you will lose all your money and Erzhu will have some martial arts.

Life and death brothers, there is nowhere to go, so they settled in the vegetable market with Liu Dingshan. In order to express his gratitude, Qian Erzhu generously taught his family's 'family heirloom' martial arts method to Liu Dingshan. Unexpectedly, this Liu Dingshan turned out to be a martial arts practitioner, and within a few years, he actually broke through to the gathering period.

During the gathering period, he can become the leader of the second-order forces recognized by the government with his skills. At the instigation of Qian Erzhu, after stuffing a large amount of money into the government, he and Qian Erzhu secretly attacked Ma Dongqiang, the president of the Qianli Society, one of the nine second-order forces at that time, and the horse dealer. As soon as Ma Dongqiang died, Qianli Society fell apart, part of it was merged into Haiyang Trading Company, and part of it was incorporated by Liu Dingshan.

Liu Dingshan took the opportunity to pull up the Capture Sea Society and took the place of the Qianli Society.

After a few years, Liu Dingshan's martial arts actually went one step further and jumped into the Qi Sea period. So, my mind came alive again. It seems that God favors him, and the opportunity has once again come to him. Luocheng, the capital of Qi, was broken by the Zhou army, and the Qi state was destroyed.

Soon, Zhou Feiyan's troops came to the Bohai Sea and sent envoys to surrender to various prefectures and counties. The vast majority of prefectures and counties surrendered in response, but Haiyang County Commander Zhang Chengan was one of the very few hard-nosed and refused to change the flag. I don't know if I'd rather die than give in, or if it's to raise my own value.

Under the general trend, where can a few 'pebbles' that block the car with a mantis arm turn over the waves. As soon as Zhou Feiyan's army moved, the hard bones were either crushed into dust or raised a white flag.

Here in Haiyang, without waiting for the Zhou army to arrive, Liu Dingshan bought Haiyang to put Wang Haiwei, together with Qian Erzhu, and the three of them took advantage of Zhang Chengan's unpreparedness to attack and kill Zhang Chengan in one fell swoop. Carrying Zhang Cheng'an's head, he bowed down at the feet of the Zhou army's surrender envoy.

The size is a military achievement, and Zhou Feiyan casually let Liu Dingshan temporarily take Haiyang County. As for Wang Haiwei, he was incorporated into his subordinates by Zhou Feiyan. The local military power, no matter how small, Zhou Feiyan is not at ease to hand it over to a renegade.

In the county office, Liu Dingshan was uncertain, and he always felt that it was not a good sign.

Qian Erzhu, who was a self-appointed dog-headed military advisor, persuaded: "What is there to worry about, there is probably something that delays the trip." Didn't you say that the general brought out a lot of people from Gaojiabao? Isn't it normal to delay for a day or two?"

Liu Dingshan half leaned on the Taishi chair, stroked his big belly, and said with a look of wisdom on his fat face full of horizontal meat: "I don't know what's wrong, I'm so flustered." No, there must be some place where I was overlooked. Old Qian, you can help me sort it out again, what else might dissatisfy the general with our arrangement. ”

Qian Erzhu snorted secretly, "Reckless, I really think I am a character." When he was not a county order, Brother Qian was before Brother Qian, and when he became a county order, he shouted Lao Qian with a big grin. If it weren't for the fact that you could be a front-line thug and have a little value, I would have thrown you to the North Sea to feed the fish. Although his heart was unhappy, his face was not half revealed, and Zhizhu said in his hand: "If there is anything wrong, I don't think it should be in today's arrangements." ”

Liu Dingshan waited for a long time, but when he didn't see the second half of Qian Erzhu's sentence, he couldn't help but kick up a pair of bull's eyes, and said very unhappily: "Old Qian, you are just this bit unpleasant, and you always talk halfway." In this way, people wonder if you can do the work, and it is only half done. Dragging mud and water, how do you say that I can rest assured that you will be a county minister?"

"Ahem, yes. "Qian Erzhu was almost choked to death by Liu Dingshan's ignorance, who do you think you are, who is the county prince, you can count it if you say it? But at this time, it's not time to give up Liu Dingshan's chess piece, so let's save three points of face for him for the time being. Pretending to be wrong, he said, "Yes, yes, what the prefectural magistrate said." I think you're flustered, maybe you're worried about whether the general will think you're incompetent. ”

"Knock, knock. Liu Dingshan's heart skipped a heavy beat twice, "Go on." At this point, Liu Dingshan really has no confidence.

Qian Erzhu shook his head, "Managing a county is not like managing a community." It's not a big problem for associations to be our own private property. A county, that's not going to work. You see, when Zhang Cheng'an was here in the past, in addition to taxation, did he forcibly collect our assets? No, no? ”

Reckless goods are reckless goods, Liu Dingshan said unconvinced: "Who is this county that is not mine, what am I doing as this county commander if it is not mine?"

Qian Erzhu had no choice but to patiently explain: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. In the Zhou Kingdom, they all belong to the king of Zhou. The duty of the county magistrate is to help the king maintain the peace of this land and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Liu Dingshan said: "What? I fought for life and death, and finally climbed to this position, and I couldn't get the benefits, and I had to help others live and work in peace and contentment? Am I stupid?"

Qian Erzhu smiled secretly, aren't you stupid? First of all, the king will give you a fortune. Secondly, you have the right. Also, if you do well, you may be promoted to knighthood. As for ill-gotten gains, it is not absolutely impossible to make money, but at least on the bright side, it must be reasonable and legal. ”

Liu Dingshan shook his head, "That little bit is a fart." The promotion and knighthood are not real. You have to be sneaky to get some money. That's what it means, isn't it? Not happy, not at all. Suddenly remembering that Zhou Feiyan was coming, he was taken aback, "According to what you say, isn't what we have done these days unreasonable and illegal? What if the general knows about it and doesn't let me do the county order?" Although he was not happy to say it, the pleasure of doing whatever he wanted brought by the identity of the county commander these days made him absolutely not want to lose this official skin.

The old god Qian Erzhu was there, and he arched his hand and said: "So, the general's surprise today is not only not a bad thing, but a great happy event." Isn't this just a night's time to clear the tail of my hands for you and me? The county magistrate is really blessed, and God is helping you. “

Liu Dingshan was overjoyed, "Hahahahaha, my luck has always been very good." Uh, what's the way to get rid of it?"

Qian Erzhu couldn't wait to smash open the pig's head in front of him to see if it was filled with dung. But let's not make it clear, this idiot only gets worse and worse. I had to lean close to the pig's head and whispered: "The key lies in the Haiyang Trading Company, especially the Hu family. It must be ······. “

Skill is only one of the many factors that determine the position of a county magistrate. The ruffians who have not received formal education suddenly rise to power, where do they know the duties and principles of being an official. According to Liu Dingshan's inherent thinking in managing the Capture Sea Society, he regarded the county order as the boss of the community. Not to mention the whole county, at least this county seat, should be owned by his community.

As a result, since he became the county magistrate, everything in the city that he fancies has been taken by domineering force, and he still feels that it is justified. As you can imagine, resistance is inevitable. Ordinary flat-headed people, after being violently beaten by ruffians dressed in 'official skin', had no way to avenge their grievances, and had to swallow their anger. But Haiyang Trading Company is not so easy to bully.

Before becoming the county order, Liu Dingshan was envious of the wealth of Haiyang Trading Company. Now I think that I have climbed on the head of the sea trading company, where can I suppress the greed to occupy the Haiyang trading company.

Hu Haifan traveled south and north, compared to knowledge, ten Liu Dingshan can't compare, how can he put this ruffian in his eyes. As a result, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.

The Immortal Alliance restricts the peak strength of the sixth-order forces, and requires that those with the highest martial arts within it must not exceed the Chengdan stage. But there are no restrictions on the warriors under the Chengdan period. A Qi Sea Stage Martial Artist is one of the criteria for a force to advance to the third order, but no one has stipulated that there can be a Qi Sea Stage Martial Artist in the second order of the force.

Liu Dingshan didn't expect that Hu Haifan, the president of Haiyang Trading Company, would already be in the sea of gas. After a fight, he was timid. With the joint efforts of him and Qian Erzhu, if they really want to work hard, it can't be said that they can't take Hu Haifan, but the risk is not small, and the losses of the gang will inevitably be heavy. A lot of ruffians, bullying the weak is ruthless, but when they encounter the hard stubble that desperately protects their lives, they are weak and weak-hearted.

If the chief Wang Haiwei is still there, Liu Dingshan is not false, but Wang Haiwei was transferred away by Zhou Feiyan.

However, he was not in a hurry, naively thinking that Hu Haifan was openly confronting the government. When the new general arrives, the self-adjustable troops will directly trample the Haiyang Trading Company.

However, tonight, after Qian Erzhu's explanation, I learned that it was not Hu Haifan who broke the law, but him. Liu Dingshan was scared, afraid that Zhou Feiyan would remove him from his post. His face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth, "!"

Qian Erzhu's plan was to quietly gather people to attack Hu Haifan's residence at night while the people of the trading company were going home in the evening. As long as you kill Hu Haifan, who has the highest skill, it will be much easier to turn back and deal with the other leaders of Haiyang Trading Company. Without Haiyang Trading Company, they were sure not to let others approach Zhou Feiyan. Then, naturally, their illegal acts will not be exposed.

In order to ensure the success of extinguishing the mouth, Qian Erzhu viciously prepared to let people burn the poison gas at the upwind first, and then set the fire, and finally took advantage of the chaos to kill in the name of fighting the fire, leaving no one behind. Anyway, the fire will burn everything clean, and it won't work if it doesn't burn clean. As for how many innocent people were injured, it was not within the scope of his consideration.

Liu Dingshan strode out of the lobby and was about to give an order, when he suddenly heard a sneering voice, "My sister has such a good vision, and she chose such a shrewd and capable county magistrate." Then there was a flash of cold light, and a short sword flew out of nowhere, and with a snort, it plunged easily and accurately into his chest.

Before his consciousness completely dissipated, he heard a female voice shouting, "Don't." Leave him in the hands of the Jieshi Mansion to be dealt with. Isn't it illegal for you to kill an official without permission?"

Liu Dingshan fell to the ground with a bang, and he couldn't hear the follow-up conversation.

He couldn't hear it, but the soul-shattering Qian Erzhu could hear it.

The male voice said, "Who said that I killed it? Obviously, you are punishing the corrupt officials." “

The female voice said, "There are still people there." Is it possible to refer to a deer as a horse? Oh no!"

Another cold light shot straight into Qian Erzhu's heart.

"It's more innocent to die. This was the last thing Qian Erzhu heard in this world.
