Volume 1 Battle of the Gods Chapter 107 Delicious Peaches
Chapter 107: Delicious Peaches
Everything was so beautiful, the wind and the sun were beautiful.
There are still big things, and the teahouse should not stay for a long time, so after chatting for a while, Su Wen simply carried Zhao Shu and left the teahouse. When leaving, Zhao Shu turned her body slightly, as if she inadvertently spread out her long skirt, flowing like a lotus. Gu Pan's bright eyes glanced at Xuanyuan jade, like a breeze blowing willows, graceful, looking back at the city..... I looked straight at these disciples who had never seen the big market...
Zhao Shu saw that his face was unhappy, and tightened the hand holding his arm, but his heart was surrounded by satisfaction and happiness that he had never felt before, and he couldn't think, so he simply leaned on his shoulder and followed him.....
When I arrived at the city of Weng, it was a different scene, the county soldiers and servants of the brigade had already sealed the city gate to the wharf, and through the open city gate, pieces of white sails were slowly approaching the shore......
With the flag flying, the iron horse and the armor, Su Wen's bad taste rose for no reason, and dragged Zhao Shu to the city tower quickly.....
Three three-masted large building ships, plus more than a dozen ships and fighting ships, escorting more than a dozen large cargo ships, are slowly approaching the shore under the control of sailors. The sailors on the ship seemed to know each other as if they were greeting the person on the desk, and they greeted each other with a smile from afar..... On the highest deck of the ship, Lao Zhu and several generals stood in the wind with guns and knives. Sergeants were also lined up on either side of the deck of each ship. The sergeants' expressions were resolute, and the aura of iron-blooded murder permeated the entire banks of the river.
The onlookers did not dare to make a noise.... Quietly looking at this group of tiger and wolf divisions, most of them had solemn expressions and puzzled faces, why did the Xiqu Mountain Country that had been peaceful for many years usher in sword soldiers?
As a general dressed in a costume at the head of the city suddenly appeared, the serious expressions of the soldiers suddenly retreated, and the surprise and reverence were fully revealed, and the soldiers knew the heroes and worshiped the heroes, without the need for people to lead, and they all drank the "mighty ......" in a deep voice, and the killing atmosphere seemed to shock the river, and it was as quiet as a mirror...
Su Wen had already put his outfit at the head of the city, and at this time, he was dressed in gold armor, and the crossbow arrows full of screens were hung with small flags, hunting and flying in the wind...... I thought to myself, do you want to find a gunman to write two lines?
.......
Involving a large-scale troop transfer operation, Chang Aotian and Sima Qingqing led a group of officials to prepare to stop, with relying on people and horses, and separated from the dock.
Su Wen didn't do his own thing with them, and he didn't delay things after playing around. The officials watched Su Wen joke freely with the new general, and every big man thought about his mind and reassessed the county minister, who was said to have no followers. The new tiger and wolf division in front of him has brought new power, and intrigue and intrigue are contrary to absolute power, which has always been a joke about mantis arms blocking cars.
Looking at the gap, Chang Aotian chatted with Su Wen for a while, "You know?" "Master Su has led us to fight, and most of the people here were saved by him" Lao Zhu promoted Sima, who was the leader of this department, and smiled and mentioned the past not long ago.
The accompanying generals didn't know that Su Wen was an official in the local area, and they were originally a little dissatisfied with serving far away from home, but when they saw Su Wen at this time, they remembered the tragic battle, and the haze in their hearts gradually disappeared, and they began to look forward to glory and military exploits....
Seeing that the new team was Su Wen's descendant, Zhao Shu finally put her mind at ease, he was really an incomprehensible man, and he was in danger everywhere, but he survived. Although the Xiqu Mountain Kingdom was defeated, there were the power of the county government in the city, the county soldiers outside the city, and the local fortresses had their own family forces. The three-legged and intermixed and infiltrated have already reached a tacit balance. Suddenly, there was an extra Su Wen, just like a boulder thrown into a small pond, and it was not a ripple, but an earth-shaking change. Of course, the old forces don't want to change, so Su Wen seems to have a lot of power, but in fact, everywhere is yin and yang, and the government decree is inaccessible. Just look at the welcome of the new army this time, everyone is also doing their own thing.
Unexpectedly, Sima Qingqing, who was the most uncooperative earlier, took the civil officials to do enough courtesy. Chen Ci and Ling Yunfei were also busy with Zhang Luo. Chang Aotian passed through a life-and-death battle in the Flower Language Grassland, at least he didn't come to hold back. However, there was no soldier Cao Pengshi Wu Qingshan, and the county soldiers only sent Cao Pengshi, who was in charge of the transfer of apprentices, to the scene, and no one even showed up to the local forces in the fortress.
The recent sharp increase in the flow of people in the city made Zhao Shu's heart palpitate, the original military strength of the county was weak, and it was scattered everywhere, and they couldn't help each other when there was something, even if they could be organized, it would not be enough to face the large merchant group gang with the help of immortal masters.
Zhao Shu sighed, like Xiao Xiaoluo's waterside concubine's whisper, and like an autumn insect in winter, playing the last helplessness.
Fortunately, an elite army that can be controlled came in time, and looking at their glittering arrows, you can know that the equipment is extraordinary. There is even a small group of elites with heavy armor and lances, and the two countries of Zhao and Song have had bad relations, and Zhao Shu naturally recognizes the important weapon of the Song State.....
Chen Ci happened to walk by, and saw that there was no one around Zhao Shu, his face was ruddy, and he knew that this was the henchman of the prime minister and was in a good mood at this time. decided to go over to talk to her, chatting a few words, Zhao Shu asked him about his disguise, Chen Ci, who looked indifferent, finally found a chance to perform, did not dare to slack off, and analyzed a case in detail.
A few days ago, I encountered a suicide case, and the deceased happened to be an army officer, so it was necessary to report it to another place. This officer is quite famous in the Xiqu Mountain Country, and has been drafted out of the county to serve for many years since he was a child. Ju Gong was promoted to Sima of other departments, and he was nearly 40 years old before he was relieved and returned to the field after the recurrence of his old injury.
He felt that there were very few cases of suicide by officers, and the eldest husband, Ma Ge, had already seen through life and death. There must be a last resort, and it must be a death encounter before going to a dead end. What's even more strange is that there is no detailed reason for the suicide in the case file, so he decided to take advantage of the initial case to retry it.
Despite the obstruction of the deceased's family, a re-autopsy was arranged to open the coffin and the deceased was found
The wound on the chest was light in and heavy in out, and according to the author's account, after the incident, the knife was in the deceased's hand, and the knife was just an ordinary knife, and it was not tightly held. He felt extremely suspicious, and there must be twists and turns. The deceased must have been stabbed by someone unsuspectingly, and as a military general, he struggled fiercely before dying, so that the difference between entering and exiting the knife would be caused. If it is a suicide, the deceased has been licking blood from the knife for many years, and there is no need to choose to stab himself in the heart, because the sternum may be stuck in the blade. The best option is to cut the neck crosswise with a portable sharp object, or simply cut the abdomen.
Therefore, it is speculated that it was the hand of someone close to the general. He first remained quiet, and then disguised himself and privately visited the deceased's neighbors, relatives and friends, and things slowly came to an eyebrow. There is an acropolis in the north of Xiqu City, called Eighty Miles, there is an official eunuch named Wu Zhiliang in the city, relying on the ancestors who have been servants, and Zhao Zhang, the great member of the dynasty, is good friends, greedy for wine and lustful, and misbehaves, but the county is the protΓ©gΓ© of his ancestors, and the officials are not right, often make the traitors get away with it, and the people have already complained.
One day, the officer and his family went to Wu Zhiliang's house for a banquet, Wu Zhiliang saw a young woman with outstanding appearance at the banquet, and immediately felt ape, intending to get involved, and inquired that she was the continuation of the officer's new marriage, and since then there have been many contacts with the officer's family, but unfortunately there are many servants and miscellaneous people in the families of both sides, and I don't know if they have been involved.
When the officer died, Wu Zhiliang's housekeeper once took out a sum of money and made a big joint in the yamen, almost bringing a murder case to a hasty conclusion. Fortunately, I met Song Ci, but I couldn't find evidence for a long time to reorganize the case.
Wu Zhiliang's subordinates have many customers, and there are often some beautiful men and children who come and go, and these people often have ambiguities with women's homes in the county, and often cause some troubles that make the city stormy. Relying on Wu Zhiliang's power, the people dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Chen Ci has only been in office for a few months, and not many people recognize him, plus he is young and good-looking. Privately, I found out that a group of people led by Xuanyuan Yu lived in Wu Zhiliang's house. After deliberately making friends, he finally found some eyebrows. The knife that Xuanyuan Yu half-bought and half-robbed in the restaurant was the officer's personal saber, and it was the reward he made the first contribution to besieging and killing the demon beast, and he was the most proud of the reward in his life. I've always carried it with me, and I don't want to show it easily...
Xuanyuan Yu knew the person with the knife, this person belonged to a gang called Red Paper Hall, related to a large chamber of commerce, and came to Xiqu Mountain Country half a year ago. If it weren't for today's important matter, Chen Ci would already be arresting people......
Zhao Shu pondered for a moment, the internal was not yet united, and the undercurrent was turbulent. Before the trade route was opened, the dignitaries and businessmen were ready to move. If you can't control the situation at the beginning, and wait until the situation is erosive, I'm afraid it will be too late to clean up. It is a trivial matter to give up some benefits, and it is not good to cause even greater trouble.
Taking advantage of the fact that the people in charge were there, he immediately made a decision, called Su Wen, called Chang Aotian, Sima Qingqing, and invited Lao Zhu to discuss the matter on the spot.
Wait for Song Ci to recount the matter again. Chang Aotian and Sima Qingqing glanced at each other, and Sima Qingqing suggested: "The Wu family is also a big family in the court, and there are a few people who are still serving in Ma Zheng, so if you want to check him, it is best to ask for instructions." β
As Chen Ci spoke, Chang Aotian's face was gloomy and about to drip water, and he said stupidly: "I'm just a historian, I don't know how to offend Lang Zhongling Zhao Zhang, so I sent it here..."
"There are a lot of strange things about this matter, if it is said that it is Wu Zhiliang's hand, the knife should not be in the hands of others. If that person is the hand, why should the Wu family help cover it up? I am an official at the age of 20, and I have had several ups and downs, and I also know that I can't afford to provoke high-ranking officials and nobles, and the Wu family has a deep background, and the lower officials can't move him, just catch the one with the knife. "Chen Ci is a sensible person, although he doesn't want the murderer to get away with it, but at most he will beat Wu Zhiliang so that he will not be too restless during his tenure.
Lao Zhu, who was born in the border city, didn't have so many worries, and leaned over to Su Wen's side and said, "Master Su, I heard that your realm is very poor!"
Slap in the face again? Su Wen scolded: "Discuss big things, you know a fart! This is called simplicity and originality." Only then did everyone know the true relationship between the two, and they couldn't help but be even more jealous.
Lao Zhu didn't care, and smiled extremely obscenely: "I don't know if you want to get rid of poverty if you want to?"
Zhao Shu slapped his thigh, and the uncle went up. The Wu family is in charge of Ma Zheng, just looking at the Xiqu Mountain Country, Ma Zheng accounts for half of the county's expenditures, Ma Zheng just let the county government take care of it, but the income has nothing to do with the county government, the main specialty of the Xiqu Mountain Country is the war horse, and the endless jingle of the county government is a strange thing.
Chang Aotian and Sima Qingqing stopped talking, intending not to get involved in this matter. I raised my own objections, and I went back and recorded them, but I couldn't find trouble for myself. It's none of their business, hanging high, the two of them looked at Su Wen with interest.
"Then you are full of filthy thoughts, you have taken too much dowry and want to make up for it, right?" Su Wen scolded Lao Zhu with a smile, and at the same time secretly thought about it. He asked Sima Qingqing again: "To tell the truth, does the county government have any money?"
Sima Qingqing's eyes were a little fluttering, and he snorted: "I have to go to the treasury to find out, and it will be green and yellow soon, the grain of the county government is enough, and the rest is beyond my means, so I rely on applying for relief from above."
There are a lot of things to do right now, how can you seize the opportunity when you are waiting for relief every day? Su Wen glanced at Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu had already waited for him to ask for advice, and nodded again and again, how can you celebrate the New Year if you don't kill a pig?
"Ahem... cough" cleared his throat, Su Wen said: "You are all the pillars of the Xiqu Kingdom, don't you know that a catastrophe is coming?" Su Wen couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that everyone couldn't close their mouths in surprise. No wonder "Shock!XXXX" There are so many people who pay for it knowing that they have been deceived, and the title party is really cool, and it has been shocked and always cool....
"It's no secret that the flower language grassland road is opened, I don't know your situation, I have received a lot of cooperation intentions," he gave Zhao Shu a look....
Zhao Shu understood, took out the thick plan of Lejia, Lejia was cautious, and no one's name appeared. Chang Aotian flipped through it roughly, and Ma Zheng was full of joy
Dozens of pages, this is to break the monopoly of the government? Qianzhuang has set up fortresses in various places, dredged the big rivers, and built new beacons..... Everything is a huge investment. Chang Aotian was stunned: "With such a big investment, how can the other party benefit?"
Zhao Shu replied lightly: "The trade route has opened, and merchants from all walks of life have traded with a large number of goods, and the circulation of silver and money goods needs money, and the restaurant inn will also follow, and investing in the restaurant and inn requires a lot of loans." If the Western Su and the southern part of the new Soviet Union were traded through the Xiqu Mountain Kingdom. It is inevitable that the big money village will compete in the Xiqu Mountain Country. β
"What does they have to do with us when they do their business?" Chen Ci was in charge of the law, not very clear.
Lao Zhu has been in the Chamber of Commerce for many years and knows how the border city is established and operated. When he heard that Xiqu Kingdom would become the hub of commerce and trade between the two continents, his eyes had already lit up, and he could hardly hold back his saliva. "You stupid, we have to put the trade in the Xiqu Mountain Country, and we can't let them just use this place as a supply ground." Don't you know how powerful the money bank is? If we don't obey, we will come to beat us, and if we make less money, we will come to beat us, and if we cooperate with one company, other money banks will also come to beat us. I'm not fighting them every day in the border city!"
Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows at Su Wen, and his eyebrows danced. Hey, I came here for this, and we're professional at doing this job.
Sima Qingqing probably thought of something, his expression was a little shocked, and his expression was gloomy like a wilting apple, "I'm afraid that the big people in the court are also staring here." It's time for us people to change places. "Thinking that I have been doing it for many years, the peach that is about to be picked is about to be plucked. Frightened and a little gloomy.
Chang Aotian also had the same thought, and glanced at Su Wen, the peach pickers were already here....
Although he doesn't understand politics, Lao Zhu has the wit of a trader: "Who can fight who can fight in our border city and the nearby market, and won't it last for hundreds of years?
The words are not rough, which makes everyone think. Su Wenzheng said: "As county ministers and officials, the well-being and personal safety of the people are what we should consider and strive for the most." In view of the current difficult situation, I hope that you will work together as one. First of all, starting with public security, we must do everything possible to ensure development, do our best to protect people's livelihood, and go all out to ensure stability. Maximize the harmony factor and minimize the disharmony factor. Lord Chen, you are in charge of the law, what do you think of the Wu family's cultivation and involvement in murders?"
In this group of adults, although Chen Ci is a small official, he has his own ambitions. Thinking about eliminating harm for the people, the situation is bigger than the sky. After listening to Su Wen's words, his brain couldn't help but heat up, and he was ruthless to pack up the goods first, and it was a big deal to lose the official again
"Returning to Lord Su's words, the subordinates think that the adults are very worried, since the Wu family is the home of the eunuchs, they should set an example, deeply love the people, abide by the responsibility of the people, be good at seeking strategies to enrich the people, and do more things for the benefit of the people. Wu Zhiliang, as the third elder of Wubao, is also an official of the imperial court. Naturally, there should be corruption and corruption. Win the trust of the people with practical results. In addition, this person's cultivation is also a big problem, not to mention whether he wants to rebel, at least he can be regarded as a local tyrant. β
Seeing how much this Lord Chen was on the road, Su Wen instantly took him as a confidant. couldn't resist the impulse of the poor mouth, and answered: "Lord Chen is right, bullying and dominating the market, bullying men and women is of course a bully. I think he is the black bully of our Xiqu country. β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Zhao Shu and asked for the cheats book back. waited for everyone to circulate it, regardless of Zhao Shu's opposition, he quickly put it into his arms.
He said earnestly: "Officials, the situation of the struggle is very serious, these people have already extended their clutches to our kind and pure sisters? They have even become a Huidaomen organization, and they have compiled a book, they are simply a cult, this is Chiguoguo's provocation to the authority of our county government!" As officials of the people, can we retreat in the face of the black bully ruffian cult? .... I can't.... The people are looking at us. We can only resolutely fight back, insist on fighting early, small, and outcropping, cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots, and eliminating evil....... β
After speaking, he looked at everyone with a compassionate look
Sima Qingqing just read the book, looking at the familiar sentences and routines, he couldn't help but empathize. With countless remorse and hatred in his heart, he scolded regardless of his identity: "These inhuman animals dare to play with women...... Mother, I...."
"The Sword Comes"
Chang Aotian, who originally wanted to see Sima Qingqing's attitude, was really a little inexplicable, so he changed his attitude? You are too unprincipled to the extreme of moderation in an instant, right? I couldn't find my teammates, and the herd mentality immediately prevailed. Chang Aotian gave full play to the role that a deputy should play, "Master Su said profoundly... Applause"
Although there were few people and the applause was a little sparse, it did not affect Su Wen's good mood at all. With a wave of his hand: "Since everyone agrees to eliminate violence and peace, without further ado, .... Departure ....."
"What? Shall we not officially issue a paperwork?" Chang Aotian still felt that it was not appropriate.
Zhao Shu handed over a pen and said with a smile, "Master Chang, you write, everyone is here, stamp together"
"Master Su, don't worry. "But he is the most active Lao Zhu, is it not suitable to send troops for a long journey? Lao Zhu smiled a little shyly, and there was a flush on the old face. Su Wen was disgusted: "What's the matter?"
"Adult, the little one has a reluctant request, Xiao Liu is still below, he just got married and has no official status, isn't it .....?"
"Your son-in-law, right? It's all my own people, can you still help with this little favor? Wait a minute, let him be the first to get on..."Su Wen was afraid that someone would come to confiscate his book, so he turned over his horse and galloped away......
Lao Zhu was very happy, and savored it: "The first one is on, isn't that a death squad?" Lord Su... Su-sama..."
