Chapter 16 The Game in the Sky I
Walking on the street, maybe it was in the downtown area, Zhao Ziqian's spirit was much better, and she bounced and talked more.
"Hmph, this little slut!" Not far behind the two, Naroy, dressed as a peasant woman, stared at the backs of the two with a cold face.
"Hehe, it shouldn't be that you're jealous of looking at people's parents to be young and beautiful!" Serang-kun's mouth is always under-pumped.
That Roy glanced at him, and suddenly found that this kid's eyes were staring at Zhao Ziqian's waist and hips in a daze, and he laughed: "Yo, my eighth child shouldn't be in love with this little slut!" ”
Selangjun did not deny it: "Hehe, everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention that this Zhao Ziqian is such a big beauty, why can't the younger brother like her!" As she spoke, her two eyes still didn't leave Zhao Ziqian, and the backstreet was still stirring slightly, beauty!
That Roy smiled contemptuously: "Hmph, I see that you are really obsessed, sister, I advise you not to hit her attention, it is possible to annoy the sect leader and castrate you!" ”
"Hehehe, thank you sister for your concern, this little brother still has this little bit of proportion. Although you can't pick it, you can still reward it! "Selangjun's face is full of indifference, she is just a righteous girl, how can the sect leader really care about her?
"It's good to understand!" That Roy said, and then frowned: "Look at the intimate appearance of Zhao Ziqian and Shen Chongming, there won't really be anything between the two!" ”
Selangjun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, these officials like to pretend to be a decent man and a gentleman, as long as Zhao Ziqian doesn't agree, Shen Chongming won't be hard!" ”
"Well, that's reasonable, then let's see an opportunity to urge her, after spending so many days, it's time to do it!" Na Roy nodded, and at this moment, for some reason, Zhao Ziqian pulled Shen Chongming and walked back, and when he saw the man's appearance, Na Roy was immediately dumbfounded.
Although it has changed slightly compared to back then, Roy has never forgotten that face, isn't it the bastard boy who embarrassed himself on the outskirts of the capital back then?
"Chongming, do you think this looks good?" Zhao Ziqian took a few steps back to a stall, picked up a hairpin and gestured on her head.
"Hehe, it's good-looking!" With tenderness on his face, Shen Chongming nodded, and the personal guard behind him took out a silver ingot and handed it to the stall owner behind the stall.
The silver is not big, only two taels, which also frightened the stall owner, although this hairpin is the most expensive of these goods, but it is worth three hundred dollars, this shot is two taels of silver, and there is no way to make change!
"Here, put it on!" Shen Chongming didn't care about the stall owner's stunned face, took the hairpin and helped Zhao Ziqian insert it in the bun, looked at it carefully and said, "It's really good-looking, let's go!" With that, the group walked forward again, leaving only the stall owner stunned and looking at the two taels of silver in his hand, not knowing how to be a good demon crown prince.
"It was him!" It took a long time for Roy to react, and his pretty face was immediately full of murderous aura, which even startled Serang-kun.
"What him!" "Hmph, no wonder that Shen Chongming knows so much about our Wuwei Sect, it turns out to be like this!" A sneer appeared on Roy's face, and he finally made sense of his previous doubts.
"What? Shen Chongming and Zheng Sihai have a relationship! Listening to Na Roy's words, Cai Wenyuan couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes, the protector, when I was in the capital a few years ago, my subordinates met Zheng Sihai's baby daughter Zheng Yingxu, and it was Shen Chongming who was with her that day, if you guessed correctly, this Shen Chongming is very likely to be Zheng Sihai's fast son-in-law!" That Roy gritted his teeth and said, those dozen slaps, he has never forgotten.
"So that's the case, hehe, what a Zheng Sihai, he actually used the power of the government to avenge him!" Cai Wenyuan sneered, and his two fists were clenched together.
"Protector, this matter must be reported to the sect leader, Zheng Sihai, the old dog, can't stay, if it weren't for him, how could we have suffered such a heavy loss!" Selangjun said viciously, he already had a plan in his heart, waiting to kill Zheng Sihai, and his precious girl would have to enjoy it.
"This is natural, since Zheng Sihai has completely apostatized, this scourge must be removed, otherwise he will personally go out, then our losses will be even more heavy!" Cai Wenyuan's face was full of murderous anger, so far Zheng Sihai has not exposed that all the high-level officials of the Wuwei Sect have gathered in Zhenjiang, and most of the property is also hidden there, it can be seen that he has not completely betrayed the Wuwei Sect, but now does not mean that he will not in the future, for the sake of safety, this person will definitely not be able to stay.
"Protector, what about Shen Chongming, hand it over to the saint herself, I'm afraid it's not easy to get rid of him!" That Roy was a little worried, but he didn't dare to say bad things about Zhao Ziqian in front of Cai Wenyuan.
"Shen Chongming has done such a great harm to our Wuwei Sect, it is all because of Zheng Sihai, he can put it aside for the time being, and gather good hands to get rid of Zheng Sihai first!" Zheng Sihai's kung fu is too powerful, if there are few people, it will be simply self-defeating, since he has made up his mind to get rid of him, then he is not allowed to give him a thunderous blow, and all the masters in the sect will gather in the capital, and never leave him the slightest hope of survival.
The capital, the residence of Xu Jie.
"Are you saying that Shen Chongming hasn't started to build the river embankment until now!" Xu Jie's brows furrowed and asked, he had been waiting for Shen Chongming to ask for silver.
Ouyang Jingzhi nodded, and he was also puzzled: "Xiaguan has been ordering the people in Henan to keep an eye on his movements, but more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and he still hasn't made any moves, and every day he is busy building brick kilns and preparing to rebuild houses for the victims!" ”
"What is he going to do by building brick kilns and houses for the victims? Isn't it simpler to have an adobe house? Xu Jie's face was full of puzzlement, this kid wouldn't be full!
"Who knows? Maybe he himself knew that it was too reluctant to build a dam with just the little silver in his hand, but this time Ah thought of making some crooked tricks to please the emperor, but it was better to open his mouth to ask for silver! Ouyang Jingzhi said self-righteously.
"No, it won't be that simple!" Xu Jie shook his head, if Shen Chongming only had this ability, how could he climb to today's position.
After thinking hard for a while, Xu Jie suddenly raised his head and asked, "By the way, how many brick kilns did he build in Henan, and what is the scale!" ”
"This ......" Thinking about it, Ouyang Jingzhi still said with some uncertainty: "It seems that there are more than 300 places, all on both sides of the Yellow River, and one will be built almost every ten miles!" ”
"That's right!" slapped his thigh, Xu Jie's face became ugly, this kid really has a little thought!
"My lord, what did you find?" Ouyang Jing was stunned, and hurriedly opened his mouth to ask Tianma Shenkong.
Xu Jie smiled bitterly: "Lord Ouyang! Do you think you can use so many brick kilns just to help the victims build houses? ”
"This ...... Hehe, Lord Xu, Xia Guan only reads, and he doesn't know much about these things, so it's really unclear how much is needed! Ouyang Jingzhi sneered.
The corners of Xu Jie's mouth twitched slightly, this is also the reason why you Ouyang Jingzhi's official has not moved since he went to the imperial envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate, how can an official who is not accustomed to civil affairs have the ability to enter the cabinet as an errand: "There are a hundred places, and now Shen Chongming has built more than three hundred in one go, I am afraid that he is ready to burn square bricks to build a dam!" ”
"Ahh Build a dam with bricks! Ouyang Jingzhi's face was stunned: "My lord, can this, this brick build a dam?" ”
Xu Jie shook his head, he didn't understand this either! "I don't know, but Shen Chongming has such a plan, this method should be feasible!"
"Oh, Lord Xu! Firing square bricks is much simpler than taking square stones, and the investment in silver taels is also much less, since Shen Chongming has not been in a hurry to reach out for silver, do you say that the silver he has on hand is enough! ”
"Alas! Maybe! Xu Jie sighed helplessly, it seems that this time it is impossible to steal chickens and rice, once it is really built by Shen Chongming so easily, this is another rare achievement, and it is inevitable to upgrade to another level.
"No, we must not let him succeed so easily, Lord Xu, we must stop him!" Ouyang Jingzhi said viciously, just a few days ago, Hu Yingjia's case was just understood. Although the death penalty was spared, but the living crime did not escape, and he was sent to the army for 3,000 miles, and his body and bones went to the bitter cold land, and he was afraid that he would die in less than a year.
But Shen Chongming, who caused him to end up like this, wants to make a great achievement, which is unbearable, how can he sit back and watch him so proud.
"Stop, alas, how easy it is to say!" With a wry smile, Xu Jie suddenly felt that he was indeed old, and he no longer had the original sharpness.
Ouyang Jingzhi smiled proudly: "Lord Xu, there is no precedent for building a dam with this brick, we can use this as a reason to persuade the emperor and let him order Shen Chongming to stop!" ”
"Although there is no precedent, the old man thinks that building a dam with bricks is much better than a straw broom, but this is a good way!" Xu Jie shook his head and said.
Ouyang Jing was anxious: "Lord Xu! At this time, you can't care if this brick can build a dam! Once the embankment was really built so easily by Shen Chongming, it would be a great achievement! When the time comes, it is inevitable that you will be promoted to the rank of knight, and the threat to you will be too great! ”
Needless to say, I believe that Xu Jie, the meaning of his words, will understand, once Shen Chongming really succeeds in building the embankment this time, coupled with the previous things, it will be difficult to cover up his limelight, officialdom has always been the majority of grass on the wall, and there will definitely be many people to serve Shen Chongming at that time, and it is more likely that there will be some good things to move Gao Gong out, you must know that the emperor has always been obsessed with Gao Gong, once he really recovers, the master and apprentice join forces, Xu Jie is not an opponent at all.
"This ......" Xu Jie hesitated, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, on the one hand, it was a major event in the imperial court, and on the other hand, it was a personal grudge, which really made it difficult for him to make a decision about what to do, stopping Shen Chongming from building a dam with square bricks, it was very likely to be complained about by his colleagues, and it was more likely to affect his posthumous name, but if he didn't stop it, Ouyang Jingzhi's worries were also very likely to be realized, and then his position as the first assistant would really be lost.
After some consideration, Xu Jie still made up his mind: "Okay, just according to what you said, but this matter cannot be borne by the official himself, you must bear it alone, and when the time comes, Shen Chongming will be stopped, and the embankment will still be built with square bricks!" ”
