Chapter 330: The People's Hearts Are Unstable
Li Su's suspicion is comparable to Cao Cao, his survival principle is safety first, to be safe, suspicion is inevitable, no matter what happens, think a few more steps in your head, you must not be stupid and stupid to plant your brain, this kind of person usually does not live too long, and the probability of dying is very large.
Before the situation was unclear, Li Su would never live in Xizhou City, it was too unsafe. From entering the city to the present, he has basically determined one thing, the officials in Xizhou are actually not very welcoming to his arrival, and this "unwelcome" contains a lot of interesting content.
Maybe he parachuted in and touched the interests of Xizhou officialdom, although Li Su didn't see what interests in this barren city like the helm of the beggar gang could make the Xizhou officials so worried, is everyone poor and scared, worried that Li Su would come to rob his eggs?
Or maybe his arrival will make some unsightly secrets no longer secrets, these secrets must be very amazing, so amazing that if they are transmitted to Chang'an Taiji Palace, all the officials and people here will be chopped up by the angry Li Shimin......
Everything is just Li Su's speculation, no matter how he guesses, he will definitely not live in Xizhou City, the interests of this thing are terrible, in case someone really kills him in the middle of the night, is he wronged? If people killed him because they were afraid that Li Su would rob him of his eggs...... That's even more wrong.
Therefore, Li Su chose to live outside the city, living with the soldiers under Jiang Quan, who were unfamiliar with the place, and only by following them could Li Su have a sense of security.
On the day of entering the city, Li Su and everyone walked around the city of Xizhou, led Xu Mingzhu, Wang Zhu and others out of the city immediately, and set up camp on the desert plain ten miles away from the city to make a fire.
Early the next morning, Li Su summoned Wang Zhuan, Jiang Quan and others. Ordered them to go to Xizhou City to take a look around, collect news from the market, and not miss a word of any news.
"What about you?" Wang Zhu couldn't help but ask.
"Me?" Li Su was stunned: "Of course I sleep in the tent, I don't sleep enough, and I will have acne on my face." ”
"Why don't you go into town?" Wang Zhu was not happy.
"Because the city stinks. Horse manure and camel manure everywhere, tsk! So dirty, how can I stand it? Li Su showed a disgusted expression.
"Besides......" Li Su showed a self-contained smile: "Besides, the city of Xizhou is not very peaceful, a handsome man like me, walking on the city street, what if he is harmed by bad people with bad intentions?" Walking the rivers and lakes, it is better to avoid trouble in advance or try to avoid it......"
Wang Zhu hesitated: "Then I ......"
"It's okay with you...... Li Su patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You originally looked like a trouble, and others would scramble to avoid you." Thank God that you have entered the city like this, and you have not harmed others. ”
***************************************************************
Xiang Tian and the officials in the city did not say much about the new Li Su leaving the city to camp, and until now, except for the Guoyi Lieutenant named Xiang Tian, none of the other officials Li Su have seen.
Everyone seems to be so busy that they have forgotten the rules of officialdom.
Xiang Tian is still a good person, and Li Su camped outside the city. Xiang Tian came to ask the reason with a concerned face the next day, and by the way, he reviewed his poor etiquette. Li Beijia was wronged.
Li Su was also very polite, and found a bunch of lame reasons such as recognizing the bed, the city is suitable for moon viewing, and the city is empty and lonely. So Xiang Tian "hahaha", Li Su "hehehe", you are polite and I am polite. In the end, Xiang Tian returned to the city as if he had completed the task of care, and no longer asked Li Su to live in the city.
Two days later, Wang Zhu Jiang Quan returned to the camp from the city and reported to Li Su the news he had learned from the city in the past two days.
"I haven't gained much...... Jiang Quan shook his head, his expression a little frustrated: "Whether it is a passing merchant or a long-term resident in the city. The wariness of outsiders is very heavy, whether it is small talk, shopping or shopping, they are not very polite to speak, talking about topics such as Thorn Shifu, Zhichong Mansion, or the Turks close to Xizhou, Gaochangguo, etc., all of them have changed their faces, and they turned around and left without saying a word, and the hot-tempered ones started with the last general on the spot......"
Sighing in frustration, Jiang Quan looked at his hands and said lonely: "In the past two days, I have only fought, and the last general has fought no less than ten times, and now everyone in the city knows me......
Li Su smiled: "The fight has made a reputation, why are you still sighing?" should be happy, in the future, the rivers and lakes will give you the nickname of 'being beaten up if you don't agree with each other', and you can scare some Xiaoxiao if you take it out. ”
Jiang Quan smiled bitterly: "It's such a time, Li Don't be joking, the last general only feels sorry for Don't drive, and he has failed the heavy responsibility entrusted to the last general......"
Li Su said with a smile: "It's just that I want you to go out to find out the news, it's good to be able to find out, but it doesn't matter if you can't find out, don't talk about everything to the 'heavy task'......"
Li Su's smile gradually retracted, and said, "Actually, you have discovered a lot of valuable things in the past two days...... The merchants and people in the city fought as soon as they mentioned the assassination and the officials, or they were afraid of them, which shows that the officials in Xizhou are not simple, and they must have done a lot of things that make the people and merchants dissatisfied, otherwise they would not behave like this......"
"Your Majesty Shengming, ascending the throne for more than ten years, the national policies are to cater to the good governance of the scholars and the people, but Xizhou is located in the border, the so-called high emperor is far away, from this point of view, Chang'an's decree in Longxi is quite unsmooth, or the military and political officials of Xizhou have deceived and done many evil things to the people of Xizhou, so we see that the city is barren, and the people and businessmen are listless, from these phenomena we can see that Xizhou's industries are withering and the people's hearts are unstable. Outside there are Turkic, Gaochang, Qiuzi and other countries coveted, internal and external troubles, this city ...... It's sinister. Li Su shook his head gloomily.
Jiang Quan's eyelids jumped a few times, and he only felt that the city officials did not welcome them, it was just a trivial matter, and it was a big deal to be alone, but after Li Su's analysis, Jiang Quan suddenly felt that the situation was serious.
"Don't drive Li, what should we do now?" Jiang Quan was anxious.
Li Su smiled again: "The best way, naturally I fell into bed, what about you, send someone to enter Chang'an 800 miles quickly, and say that I am sick, very sick, the doctor said that only by returning to Guanzhong to recuperate can we be cured, and then we pat our butts and leave, Xizhou...... Leave him to death. ”
Jiang Quan's face suddenly turned blue......
Li Su sighed in disappointment, and from Jiang Quan's face, he could tell that he probably didn't approve of this genius proposal.
"Dead Eye!" Li Su rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"Since General Jiang can't accept me pretending to be sick and bullying the king, then we have to wait slowly, and wait for Cao Jianshi to return to the city, Cao Jianshi is the chief official of Xizhou, only when he comes back, everything that we should see and what we shouldn't see will be seen."
Jiang Quan hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was only this way at the moment.
Turning his head to look at Wang Zhuan, Li Su suddenly pointed at him curiously and said, "General Jiang has not gained anything from listening to the news in the past two days, what about this guy?" ”
Jiang Quan glanced at Wang Zhu with disdain, snorted, and said, "He, naturally, has no gain." ”
"How did he get news in the city?"
Jiang Quan's face showed a little anger: "This guy will find a place to eat when he enters the city, and he has patronized all the large and small wine shops and shops in the city, such as Hu cakes, cheese crisps, and grape wine...... But everything he could eat, he stuffed it into his mouth, and he ate so much for the past two days. ”
Li Su blinked: "What about besides eating?" ”
"In addition to eating, of course, I still eat...... When he was about to leave the city at the end of the day, he was still in someone's shop, and he couldn't leave. ”
Wang Zhuan's black face showed a flush, and he lowered his head embarrassedly.
Li Su couldn't help but say, "In addition to eating, you always have something else to gain, right?" ”
Wang Zhu hung his head and said cowardly: "Harvest...... Naturally, there are, for example, the wine shop in the east of the city sells grapes mixed with water, compared to the wine shop in the west of the city, it is obviously much more kind, the amount is sufficient, and the price is not expensive......"
