In the Splendid Villa, a pair of soldiers ran towards Bianjing City under the leadership of Okinawa. Since the direction of things was going in the expected direction, Shu Tingbei's mood suddenly improved. Now he finally has time to summon the little second brother of the meatloaf shop who came to ventilate the news.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you."

Hearing Shu Tingbei say this, the shopkeeper fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed a few times in gratitude, cursed and swore that he would be loyal to Shu Tingbei in the next life.

Yao Chang stood next to him and sneered. He Yao Chang also had great military achievements, and his talent in military affairs was far from being comparable to Fu Jian. If he swears allegiance in front of Shu Tingbei, he can at least become a hard shield, but what can this shopkeeper do? Making meatloaf? Someone who aspires to build a perfect regime cares about a shopkeeper who makes meatloaf?

But Yao Chang never expected that Shu Tingbei's words would be: "This is also good." How did you learn the craft in Granny Cao's meatloaf shop? ”

The shopkeeper immediately learned the appearance of the storyteller he had seen, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, the villain Wang is talented, the craftsmanship in the meatloaf shop, the little one really hasn't learned much, and it is not long longer than the precision." ”

Shu Tingbei was slightly disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face, but said: "In this way, you go back and discuss it with your boss, and say that I have a gang of him to open meat pie shops all over the four hundred military states of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can be opened everywhere." Ask him if he would like to cooperate with us? ”

When Wang Youcai heard this, he immediately replied: "The villain must bring the words of the lord to the boss." ”

After Wang Youcai went down, Yao Chang next to him asked dissatisfiedly: "Lord, that's just a shopkeeper, where is there such a big ability, it's worth your go-over?" We can open as many patty shops as we want, but we can't open as many as we want, is it possible that without their cooperation, we can't survive? ”

Shu Tingbei sighed and said, "You don't know something." When I walked into the shop, I didn't notice anything, but it was only when he came to report the news and said the name of Granny Cao's patty shop. It's a long-established brand. ”

Yao Chang was still puzzled and asked, "So what?" ”

Shu Tingbei replied: "The people of the Song Dynasty did not have brand awareness, nor did they know business expansion, so they knew how to do that business honestly. They thus missed the opportunity for the Chinese nation to dominate the world for the first time. You don't regret it, I'll do it. Now there is an opportunity to correct the mistake, if you don't do it, I will do it. ”

Yao Chang had nothing to say and retreated into the train.

Compared with Shen Yu, who was still on the front line, Shu Tingbei had an atmosphere of a classical Chinese army tent in front of him. Since leaving the 21st century, many of the Reborn seem to have regained their old feelings, and they have changed back to their old habits, not only continuing to call the four Adeptus Lords, using the word for each other, but also simply referring to themselves as "ministers" in front of the main attackers.

At this moment, it is difficult for Zhao Zhen. He has now re-ascended the throne of the Ninety-Five, if he wants Shu Tingbei to be a minister, intuitively he is a little reluctant, if it is not for the consideration of making the Great Song Dynasty rich and strong, he will definitely not swallow his anger. But if you take into account the majesty of the monarch, then Zhao Zhen will never call Shu Tingbei in front of his courtiers. Because that's a matter of dignity at stake in FA design.

The current embarrassing situation is something that neither side is willing to mention lightly. Fortunately, the two sides were clear about the reason for this embarrassment in a tacit understanding, and there was not much sense of disobedience when it was avoided, and outsiders couldn't even see where the flaws were.

At this time, Li Cunqiao ran in and reported: "Lord, the men and horses we sent into Bianjing City have a battle report back. ”

Battle report? In a capital that has been peaceful for decades, it is possible to wear out a war report. Shu Tingbei looked at Li Cunqiao with some puzzlement.

The latter immediately explained: "When we were investigating the lair of the group leaders, we encountered relatively stubborn resistance, and the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion seemed to be unwilling to cooperate. ”

"Is that so?" Shu Tingbei paused before asking, "Then how is the battle situation now?" ”

"It's over."

Gao Tao was the first to interject and asked, "How many abducted and trafficked women have been rescued?" ”

"More than a thousand."

Hear this answer. Everyone present couldn't help but gasp. At the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, more than 1,000 women were abducted and trafficked, but no one knew about it. As Zhao Zhen, the son of the Great Song Dynasty, suddenly felt hot on his face. In the previous life, such a thing was not exposed, which not only symbolizes the evil deeds of the people, but also symbolizes that those scholars and doctors only know how to chant the wind and the moon, and never ask about the suffering of the people.

Shu Tingbei was also surprised by the number.

"How can there be so many? What kind of worry-free cave is that, and how big is it? ”

Where can Li Cunmiao answer this question, his face is bitter, and he clearly said: "Lord, please spare me, I am just here to deliver the military report, this matter has nothing to do with me, dear!" ”

Shu Tingbei was also embarrassed by the bitterness of this face, he waved his hand to signal that Li Cunqiao could leave, only to see that the guy let out a sigh of relief, as if he had picked up a life from the tiger's mouth, and then decisively took the road and fled.

After Zhao Zhen saw Li Cunmiao leave here, he immediately felt that the ** spicy feeling on his face became more obvious. Obviously, he realized Shu Tingbei's stolen gaze, which was clearly saying, "What did you do?" ”

Zhao Zhen didn't dare to raise his head now to face Shu Tingbei's eyes head-on. That's also a woman, and it's a woman who usually likes to sell cuteness, and sometimes becomes a violent woman, of course he knows that Shu Tingbei must be very sympathetic to those abducted women now. But he, Zhao Zhen, has done his best for business in the emperor.

What else could he do? In order to prevent the generals from rebelling, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi were busy releasing military power with a glass of wine, and the other was elevating the status of the literati to suppress the generals. When Zhenzong Zhao Heng was in power, he simply advertised the imperial examination. There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. So, the scholars who rushed to Yan Ruyu and the Golden House all came to Zhao Zhen's hands. But they didn't come for the sake of the people after all.

People's livelihood or anything is just a tool for them to deal with land requisition, once upon a time, they really took the toiling people seriously from the bottom of their hearts.

After seeing Zhao Zhen's face, Shu Tingbei also knew that it was not caused by him alone. It is not good to say more, but it makes the relationship between the two parties, which is already a little awkward, even more awkward.

"Gaotao." Shu Tingbei turned her gaze to the ancient ** official and said, "You and Zhuge Liang go into the city to have a look." ”

Gao Tao immediately got up and took the order.

Zhuge Liang didn't leave here at the first time, he still stood in place, and said to Shu Tingbei: "Lord, there is one thing I can't help but remind you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Among the Japanese soldiers, many of them are from the Cao family. Our main combat strength now is not the generals who were once famous. If someone colludes inside and outside to launch a mutiny, this Zhuangzi will face something even more terrible than the siege that has just happened. ”

"I see." Shu Tingbei set her eyes on Zhao Zhen and signaled him to go out immediately and lead someone to take over the grassroots command of the Japanese army from the Cao family's cronies.

Zhao Zhen didn't understand it at first, but then he thought of the crux of the problem. If Zhao Zongshi rebelled, then his wife's family would probably bet on them. And Gao Taotao's mother is the queen's sister, maybe the Cao family will also put the bet on Zhao Zongshi.

Then, the Shi family and the Zhang family must be co-opted. However, Shi Yuansun was captured in the Battle of Santankou, and although he was later released, he was still under residential surveillance in other military states, so it seems that Zhao Zongshi and his gang could find an excuse to buy the Shi family. There are not many people in the Zhang family who are promising, and it is probably their idea to keep the glory and wealth, so it is not difficult to buy them.

Zhao Zhen didn't stop Zhuge Liang in the end, and he suddenly found that those generals seemed to have become the object of suspicion at this moment.

After Zhuge Liang said these words, he followed Gaotao to Bianjing City.

After several of the beggars' dens were destroyed, a large number of women were rescued. Gaotao led the people to the outside of Bu Qing's lair. At this time, the soldiers were still busy carrying boxes and boxes of various treasures outward. The women who had been abducted and trafficked were now squatting on the ground in rags.

Originally, there were a lot of onlookers standing around, but after being swept back and forth a few times by Gaotao's eyes, they suddenly dispersed.

Among the people squatting on the ground, many people obviously couldn't adjust to the harsh sunlight outside, and they were still rubbing their eyes. Among a bunch of fifteen or sixteen-year-old maidservants, the embroidery girl who was also disheveled because she had not been abducted for a long time, but she was already able to see the things around her normally.

Gao Tao keenly noticed this slightly different woman, and came over to him and asked, "Are you the embroidery girl who was kidnapped by Hu Siqing not long ago?" ”

As soon as the embroidery lady heard this, her tears fell when she landed, and she hurriedly exclaimed: "My lord, just me." ”

Gao Tao hurriedly comforted: "Don't panic! Don't panic! It's all right. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed behind him, looked around, and the ragged woman lowered her head in shame. Those who did not reach out when they were trafficked now feel that they have enough capital to stand and point fingers at them from a distance. And among them, there is no shortage of customers who have passed by the prostitutes.

Zhuge Liang hated those who were still pointing at them from afar, but he hated that he didn't have the kind of murderous eyes of Gaotao, so he could only sigh: "No city is clean, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, this group of small citizens are indispensable." ”

Zhuge Liang ignored that another reason why the city never dared to pass through was the struggle for power.

What Zhuge Liang didn't know at this time was that Gao Taotao had quietly returned to his parents' house at this time, and another wave was about to lap on the shoulders of Zhuge Liang and others.
