Chapter 97: King of Stone City
"Fang Ling, Fang Ling......" Qiu Yi nodded again and again, as if to praise this as a good name, but he read it twice in a row.
Hou Ding said with a smile: "Your name seems to have the same name as the King of Shicheng, it's really interesting, and it seems to be about the same age, it's really a coincidence." ”
As soon as he heard this, Qiu Yishu's face changed, and he looked at Fang Ling again with wide eyes.
The white-clothed young man in front of him was as handsome as jade, sitting on a wooden chair seemingly casually, with a faint smile on his face, but there was an extraordinary nobility on his body, and he did not look like a person from an ordinary background.
Qiu Yi secretly said that he was stupid, and he didn't even see the amazing temperament of this young man, and then in connection with what Hou Ding said, he couldn't help but speculate: "Little brother, who ......are you?"
Fang Ling smiled slightly, nodded and said, "This king is the King of Shicheng. ”
Hou Ding's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and he said in shock: "What, you are the King of Shicheng?"
Hearing Fang Ling admit it himself, Qiu Yi didn't know what to say for a while, but his heart was beating wildly, he used to be a head catcher, but now he is a bandit, he also recognized that he had seen a lot of scenes, however, there was really no way to associate the identity of the young man with the life-saving benefactor who met on the black market and killed Tongpi and others with the power of thunder.
It's just that the same name, the same age, the same handsome appearance as rumored, coupled with the superhuman skills, everything reflects the identity of the teenager. Update the fastest mobile phone: ://
After a long time, Qiu Yi said bitterly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't salute you with this grass robber body." ”
Fang Ling said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you are polite or not, what I want to ask is, Uncle Qiu should understand my intentions at this time, right?"
"This ......" Qiu Yi couldn't help frowning, if Fang Ling was the King of Shicheng, then the bunch of words he said just now was not as simple as small talk, and his intentions couldn't be more obvious. Starting
Looking at his hesitant eyes, Fang Ling said lightly: "It seems that the news has not yet reached the village, so I'll just say it, not long ago, this king has ordered all the patriarchs of the Wang clan in Xihe and Maling counties to be escorted to prison, remove the county order, county lieutenant, scribe, military and other positions, and investigate the crimes of those who violated the law in the past!"
"What?" Qiu Yi and the others couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this.
Fang Ling smiled slightly, and said sincerely: "The four counties of Shicheng are the fiefdoms of this king, and I naturally will not allow a group of moths to disturb the people's livelihood, and this is just the beginning. However, I can't get rid of these moths by myself, so I need to have a competent subordinate ● Uncle was originally a catcher, but because he was framed, he fell into the grass, but as long as you are willing to go out of the mountain as an official, this king will appoint you as the chief catcher of the three counties, directly obey the king, and all the catches of the three counties belong to you. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Qiu Yi and the others couldn't help but be stunned, Fang Ling's identity had surprised the two of them, but he actually invited Qiu Yi to be the chief catcher of the three counties.
Fang Ling continued: "Although the fiefdom of the four counties is small, you may not be able to lead many men and horses as a chief catcher, but if Uncle Qiu agrees, this king will give you considerable power, down to businessmen, up to officials, anyone who commits 'adultery' and violates the law, as long as the evidence is true, you can arrest him, and this king will never interfere!"
Qiu Yi's expression couldn't help but be moved, the power that is not interfered with, the justice that can be absolutely enforced, and Fang Ling's cleanup of the wang clan and the revocation of the county order and other officials can be seen in his heart for the people.
Even Hou Ding couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, are you serious about what you say?
Fang Lingzheng said: "You have no jokes, this king's words are not for jokes. ”
Qiu Yi couldn't help but sigh, arched his hand, and said with great emotion: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your attention, but I'm afraid that the grass people can't afford this favor." One day is a thief, a lifetime is a thief, and a thief is a headhunter, how can he serve the public?"
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said: "Those who serve the people lie in the hearts of the people, as long as they are dedicated to the people, what can they not convince the people? Maybe it will be a little difficult at first, but Uncle Qiu is willing to stay on the mountain and become a thief because he is afraid of this setback? In this way, how can you be worthy of the people who worship you in Mulian County, and how can you be worthy of being the father under Jiuquan?"
Qiu Yi was really stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his vacillation, he sighed, stood up and knelt on the ground, Hou Ding saw him kneeling, and quickly knelt down.
Qiu Yi said righteously: "The grass people are just grass people, His Royal Highness not only saved the grass people's 'life', but also descended to come here to give me the official, how can I, Qiu Yi, not pick up the promotion?
Fang Ling laughed when he heard this, walked over and helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "I have long known that Uncle Qiu is a person who values love and righteousness, since I want to give you an official, how can I forget the brother next to you?"
"Your Highness means ......" Qiu Yi was overjoyed.
Hou Ding's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and he said in shock: "What, you are the King of Shicheng?"
Hou Ding couldn't help rubbing his hands and said happily: "Your Highness, could it be that I can also be a catcher?"
Fang Ling said with a smile: "It depends on the ability of Brother Hou and the brothers, you were forced by life in the past, and you don't need to be held accountable for robbing money." However, if you want to be a fast catcher, you have to go through the assessment, as long as you are capable, upright, the king will definitely reuse, if you are willing to farm, do business or other things, this king can open the door of convenience, give the people in the county the same treatment. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)
Qiu Yi bowed down again with grateful, and said sincerely: "Your Highness thinks so much about the people, I, Qiu Yi, am willing to serve Your Highness!"
Hou Ding followed and bowed, and said with a straight smile: "Big brother, I will definitely behave well, strive to be the deputy general manager to catch the head, and share the worries of the eldest brother." ”
At this moment, someone outside came to report: "Lord of the village, the messenger of the Tianzhai village asks to see." ”
"The messenger of the Heaven Snatching Village?" Qiu Yi couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked towards Fang Ling, Fang Ling said: "Just like usual, do what you have to do, what I told you just now, now is not the time to make it public." ”
Qiu Yi nodded emphatically and walked out of the door with Hou Ding.
Fang Ling walked behind the door, looking out through the crack in the door, Conquering Heaven Village suddenly sent a messenger to visit, there must be something, could it be related to his subjugation of the three counties? If this is the case, it is a wonderful opportunity.
Qiu Yi walked to the lobby and sat down, and after a while, a middle-aged man in his thirties strode in, the man bowed slightly, and presented a letter: "This is a letter written by the master of the village, please take a look at it." ”
Qiu Yi motioned for Hou Ding to take the letter, opened it and looked at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Lord Shen invited me to the banquet, I don't know what it is?"
The messenger replied: "I don't know if the Lord of Qiu Zhai knows that not long ago, the King of Shicheng successively subdued the two counties of Xihe and brought the troops under his command?"
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Qiu Yi said as if he didn't know.
The messenger said: "The king of Shicheng is menacing, and now that the three counties are united, his strength has increased greatly, and it is likely that the next step will be to deal with our 'misty' Wushan, so the lord of the village wants to invite the lord of Qiu Zhai and the other lords of the village to go to the village together to conspire together." ”
Qiu Yi hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously glanced towards the inner room, but saw Fang Ling 'exposed' half of his face, nodded slightly, and said quietly: "Okay, the messenger can go back and tell me that in the evening after three days, I will come as promised." ”
After the messenger retired, Qiu Yi and the others immediately entered the inner room and presented the letter to Fang Ling.
Fang Ling glanced at it roughly, the speed of the secret road to capture the sky is fast enough, this has not happened in two days, so soon to convene the owners of the cottage to meet, I don't know if it is fast enough or premeditated for a long time, he slightly 'touched' his chin and said: "It seems that the Heaven Capture Village is trying to gather all the villages to fight against this king, Uncle Qiu estimates that this matter will develop in which direction?"
Qiu Yi thought for a moment and then replied: "In the eyes of the grass people, most of the thieves are from poor backgrounds, forced by life, although they also rob money, but they have never committed evil acts that hurt people, if Your Highness can not blame the past and open the door of convenience, they will definitely be willing to submit to Your Highness." ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "However, ordinary bandits are willing to do this, but those village owners may not necessarily think so, right?"
Qiu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "What His Highness said is extremely true, it is not so easy to make the village owners give up the power in their hands and not be the king of the mountain. ”
Fang Ling said lightly: "So, in the end, you still can't avoid the blade?"
Qiu Yi was shocked when he heard this: "But Your Highness, most of the bandits are not bad in nature, if they use force, I am afraid that they will lose their trust in the government even more, so that they will not be able to turn back." ”
Fang Ling nodded and said, "Yes, so this king also wants to calm down this 'mysterious' foggy mountain without spending a single soldier, so from Uncle Qiu's point of view, is there any way to do it?"
Qiu Yi thought for a moment and said, "The mountain terrain of the 'Mystery' Mountain is divided into three parts, namely the northern, central, and eastern parts, and its sphere of influence can also be divided into three parts. In the north, led by our Moshui Village, there are a total of seven cottages, and I know the roots of these cottage owners, all of whom are men who value love and righteousness, and I believe that it is not difficult to convince them. ”
"The central part is the sphere of influence of the four cottages such as the Tianzhai Village, among which the Tianzhai is the most powerful, with more than 300 bandits, strong soldiers and horses, especially the recent mining of mines, which can be described as a daily gold. The other three villages, led by the Tianzhai Village, are all bowing down to it, and the leader of the Tianzhai is Shen Huantian, the master of the big village. ”
