Chapter Thirty-Six: But the Sect is free of evil, and the wolves and tigers are also standing in the bushes
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Championship Record!
"Feng Dao is upright, the twelve emperors, none of them accuse him of misconduct, such virtue, for thousands of years, he is the only one. He served as an official in previous dynasties, not for his own glory and wealth, but in order to prevent the emperor from ruining Chinese culture and to preserve the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, so he had to be in the eunuch journey in that troubled era, and even risked the disapproval of the world and the misunderstanding of later generations to become an official. His life is bright and upright, with countless articles, but he doesn't want to pass it on, only one poem has been handed down: Don't be afraid of God when you are in danger, and the future often has a due cause. It must be known that Haiyue returns to the Lord, and it may not be a good person. When did Daode pass away, and there was no way to get through the boats. But there is no evil in the sect, and the wolves and tigers also stand up! Xia Xiang gave a deep salute to Cui Xiang, solemn and upright, "Cui Fuzun, the time is poor, the troubled times produce heroes, Feng Dao serves the twelve emperors, and has always been in the high position of the prime minister of the three princes, if he is said to be a shameless man, doesn't it mean that the twelve emperors who reuse him are all blind?" In his life, he valued the affairs of the people and neglected the affairs of the emperor, and he was more inclined to save the world than to save the country. But the teaching is free of all evils, and he also stands in the midst of wolves and tigers, which is a true portrayal of his life of hard work for the country and the people! ”
Cui Xiang nodded silently, his heart was touched, he slowly got up and came to the window, the leaves outside the window were all gone, a decay, and the aura of slaughter filled the sky and the earth. On the Hutuo River in the distance, Yan Hao was directing the boats to be busy under the Zilong Bridge.
What Yan Hao is busy with, Cui Xiang naturally knows. If he really followed the Star King to make trouble, it would be against his will. It's just that now he is in a dilemma, and if he wants to retreat with his whole body, he can't.
For Feng Dao's evaluation, Cui Xiang was deeply influenced by Sima Dao, thinking that Feng Dao was groveling, without a king and without a father, and never thought that Xia Xiang would interpret Feng Dao like this today, which made him feel refreshed, and suddenly understood Feng Dao's difficulty and broadness. Justice is at ease in people's hearts, and it has been so for thousands of years. It's just that people's hearts are sometimes unfair, and only the way of heaven is the fairest.
Cui Xiang also believes in Buddhism, is familiar with many Buddhist scriptures, and knows the truth that it is easier to know than to do. Xia Xiang's words today made him feel a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Compared with Feng Dao, he really only cares about his own safety, and disregards the lives of the people.
"Worldly people only see what Feng Dao does, but they don't know Feng Dao's heart." Xia Xiang smiled ashamedly, and said, "Off topic, today Cui Fuzun sent the subordinate officials to come, there must be important orders, and the subordinate officials will listen to them." ”
Cui Xiang retracted his thoughts, hesitated for a moment, the matter has come to this, it is useless to think more, even if he wants to become Feng Dao's second, I am afraid that he will not have Feng Dao's talent, so he simply put his heart sideways: "Xia Xianzun, this official heard that you intend to clean up the silt at the bottom of the Hutuo River?" ”
"Exactly."
"The emperor's southern tour is imminent, and Taiwei Yan is cruising the Hutuo River day and night, lest there be a slight mistake, and it is not the time to desilt at this time." Cui Xiang didn't give Xia Xiang a chance to explain, and made a decision directly, "This matter is so decided, there is no need to say it again." ”
"Cui Fuzun, this ......" Xia Xiang was anxious, Cui Xiang and Yan Hao cooperated openly and secretly, completely to block all his ways.
"This matter doesn't need to be discussed again!" Cui Xiang showed the authority of the prefect, "There is also a case of Fu Ke, there is no need to retry it, wait for the emperor's southern tour to talk about it." In addition, I heard that you have a close relationship with Lian Niangzi, who is always in good times? ”
Okay, pressed the dredging matter, and froze the Fu Ke case, Cui Xiang clearly wanted him to be arrested, Xia Xiang thought to himself for a long time to talk about Feng Dao, although Cui Xiang listened to it, he didn't want to stop the precipice, okay, Cui Xiang didn't learn Feng Dao, so he had to be Feng Dao.
"Back to Cui Fuzun, Xia Guan not only has a close relationship with Lian Niangzi, but also has a marriage contract." Xia Xiang simply said clearly, so that Cui Xiang knew in his heart, "Xiaguan also made a lifelong agreement with Cao Niangzi." The lower officials can pick two doors on one shoulder, and they can marry two ladies. ”
"......" Cui Xiang wanted to continue to suppress Xia Xiang with a straight face, but Xia Xiang's tone of words changed too quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the majesty he had just mentioned disappeared, so he had to squeeze out a few smiles, "So I want to congratulate Xia Xianzun, on the day of the wedding, the official will come to the door to ask for a happy wine." ”
"The lower officials will send an invitation card to invite Cui Fuzun to come." Xia Xiang took advantage of the trend and smiled, "Lian Niangzi and Cui Fuzun are originally from the same family, Cui Fuzun is still an elder, and I will ask Cui Fuzun to officiate the marriage for the two of us." ”
Cui Xiang smiled awkwardly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." It's just that the emperor's southern tour is imminent, and everything is about to be the emperor's southern tour. You tell Lian Niangzi, don't make trouble for nothing, everything is precious to harmony. ”
"Xia Guan doesn't understand what Cui Fuzun means." Xia Xiang pretended to be confused.
Cui Xiang looked unhappy: "Good times are often not engaged in the iron ore business, why do you have to intercept the iron ore supply of Guangjin Commercial Bank?" Guangjin Commercial Bank is a commercial house outside Liu Yuanwai and Xie Yuanwai, the two of them built a granary for the people of Zhending to reserve grain, and seek benefits for the people. ”
"Why can't even the lady get along with Guangjin Commercial Bank?" Xia Xiang saw that Cui Xiang no longer covered it up and spoke directly for Liu Xie and the others, he knew that the matter was so serious that Cui Xiang needed to rush to the front, so he no longer detoured, "Lian Niangzi is in business, she has her own ideas, and the lower officials have never interfered." Moreover, if you don't engage in the iron ore business in the past, it does not mean that you will not engage in the iron ore business now and in the future. Besides, business matters are originally interests first, if Guangjin Commercial Bank has the strength, just buy iron ore at a higher price, and do not believe that the iron ore dealer will not sell it to him. Cui Fuzun, as the honor of a mansion, has all kinds of opportunities, so there is no need to take such a small matter to heart. ”
Cui Xiang was unhappy in his heart, Xia Xiang's implication was to advise him not to meddle in his affairs, the problem is, this is not an idle matter but a big matter, his face sank: "Guangjin Commercial Bank is doing things for this official, and even the lady is embarrassed by Guangjin Commercial Bank, which is to embarrass this official." ”
With Cui Xiang's character, the words are so straightforward, it is unbearable, Xia Xiang still said unhurriedly: "Lian Niangzi and Cui Fuzun are originally from the same door, you can sit down and talk about something, you don't have to go down to the official to spread the word." However, there is something unclear about the lower officials, how does Guangjin Commercial Bank operate the iron ore business? Could it be that Guangjin Commercial Bank wants to refine weapons and rebel? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Heguang and Yang Jiang suddenly lost their color.
"Iron ore smelting ironware, you can make kitchen knives, farm tools, and kitchen utensils, how can it be a rebellion to refine weapons?" Cui Xiang smiled quietly, "Xia Xianzun is really good at laughing, but you can't talk nonsense if you rebel, be careful of causing death." ”
"Cui Fuzun has learned a lesson." Xia Xiang looked respectful, "The above three things, the dredging matter, the subordinate officials should obey their orders." In the case of Fu Ke, the lower officials also obeyed the orders. just told Lian Niangzi about it, forgave the official for being difficult to obey, and asked Cui Fuzun to tell Lian Niangzi in person. ”
Three things, Xia Xiang responded to two official things, and the last one, half public and half private, was blocked back by Xia Xiang indifferently, although Cui Xiang was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he was also satisfied with Xia Xiang's performance, nodded and said: "Okay, the official personally talked to Lian Niangzi about this matter." ”
"The next official retired."
Out of the gate of the government office, Xia Xiang got on the Zilong Bridge and returned to the county office. dealt with several cases of Zhang San accusing Li Si of building a house and occupying his own foundation and Wang Wu's accusation that Ma Liu peeked at his mother's bath, and saw that it was dark.
Xia Xiang was relieved not to go down the mantle, just when Ma Zhanguo, Ding Ke and Cao Shujun came back, the two and Cao Shujun searched for a day, but found nothing, and reported to Xia Xiang in frustration. Xia Xiang asked the three of them to accompany him to the Guanxin Pavilion.
Xia Xiang walked slowly with his hands behind his back, Yan Hao's boat was no longer in the river, but under the Zilong Bridge, there were many more wooden stakes exposed to the water, and in the night, they were as hideous as dogs' teeth.
"Cui Fuzun ordered that the dredging matter be suspended, and there is no need to retry the case of Fu Ke, everything will be discussed after the emperor's southern tour." Xia Xiang's eyes showed a look of worry, "Cui Fuzun's move is tantamount to blocking all the roads. ”
"How can this work?" Ma Zhanguo was anxious, "Xia Xianzun, dredging is a great matter, not only can ensure that thousands of displaced people outside the city can survive the winter, but also make the Hutuo River unimpeded......"
"The Fu Ke case is also extremely important." Ding Ke hurriedly said, "Fu Ke is the key witness, and only by testifying can he catch everyone." ”
Cao Shujun looked calm: "How important is the dredging matter and the Fu Ke case, needless to say, Xia Xianzun has a lot in his heart." You two don't have to worry, Xia Xianzun must have thought of a foolproof plan. ”
Ma Zhanguo looked surprised: "Xia Xianzun has a countermeasure?" ”
Xia Xiang stretched out his hands and looked helpless: "No, there is nothing to do." ”
Cao Shujun rolled his eyes: "Cut, don't pretend, Xia Xianzun, who doesn't know that you are smart and resourceful, and there will be a hundred ways to come out in the blink of an eye." ”
"I can't help it." Xia Xiang shook his head and sighed, "The affairs of officialdom, the official level crushes people to death, if the official disobeys, Cui Fuzun will really dismiss my official." ”
Seeing that Xia Xiang didn't look like pretending, Cao Shujun was also a little flustered: "Then what should I do?" ”
"Go to the Guanxin Pavilion to eat first, and you always have to eat a full stomach before you have the strength to think about things." Xia Xiang smiled lightly again.
Guanxin Pavilion is very different from before, the lights are colorful, laughter and laughter, because of the arrival of several people in Lian Ruohan, there is popularity, and the whole house presents a scene of prosperity.
In fact, there are not many people, even Ruohan and a few people together, together with Yahuan and his entourage, there are only a dozen people. It's just that there are more than a dozen people, but it drives the atmosphere of the whole house.
Xia Xiang thought that he had gone to the wrong place, and the Guanxin Pavilion was brightly lit, like daytime. He looked left and right, and when he didn't know why, Xiao Jia trotted all the way to meet him.
"Xia Xianzun is here, please. How's that, festive isn't it? Xiao Jia smiled and grabbed Xia Xiang's arm, "I asked them to light all the candles and oil lamps, which are both beautiful and festive, and can also prevent thieves." ”
"What thieves are you guarding against?" Xia Xiang was stunned.
"I heard that the lady said that there is another master in Zhending City, and he wants to be unfavorable to Xia Xianzun. I just thought, let the Guanxin Pavilion be as bright as day, and see if she dares to come again. After Xiao Jia heard about this, she was very anxious, Mantuo was recuperating, Xiao Wu did not come back, the official was like nothing in the eyes of the master, and she didn't know martial arts, how to protect Xia Xiang Zhouquan? After thinking about it, I had to make this decision.
Xia Xiang couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, Xiao Jia was really sincere to him. However, in order not to worry Xiao Jia, he laughed and pretended to be relaxed: "In the battle last night, she was also frightened by the lady of Mantuo, and she must not dare to come again." Thank you Xiao Niangzi for her kindness, but even if she dares to come again, there is Mantuo Niangzi, Xiao Wu, and Ding Zhutou, she doesn't want to get cheap. ”
Ding Ke only knew that Xia Xiang was almost assassinated last night, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Xia Xianzun, the lower official is derelict in his duties." The lower officials sent additional officials tonight to protect the Guanxin Pavilion. ”
"You don't have to be so excited." Xia Xiang waved his hand and came to the living room, the living room was full of guests and friends, he beckoned to Lian Ruohan, "Lian Niangzi, Ling'er is there?" ”
"Ling'er is here." Ling'er flashed out from behind Xia Xiang and smiled, "What does Xia Xianzun command?" ”
Ling'er had a slight contempt for Xia Xiang before, and when she learned that her wife and Xia Xiang had been married and married after the emperor's southern tour, her attitude towards Xia Xiang immediately changed. After all, Lian Ruohan got married, she was a dowry girl, not to mention whether Xia Xianzun accepted her as a maid for the house, only if Xia Xianzun was good to her, her status could be preserved, and she could become a big girl. Otherwise, it is easy to be bullied by Lu Huanhuan.
"Ling'er, you accompany Ding Zhutou to set up a wind chime at each of the four corners of the Guanxin Pavilion."
"Yes, Xia Xianzun, obey." Ling'er's cleverness lies in the fact that as long as she recognizes someone, she will do whatever he says, even if she doesn't understand why she is doing it.
"Why do you want to erect wind chimes?" After Ma Zhanguo and Ling'er went out, Lian Ruohan asked puzzledly, "With the other party's skills, how can the eaves and walls be touched like walking on the ground?" ”
"What she wants is to let her see the wind chimes, and then she will know that Guanxin Pavilion has already taken precautions, so that she does not dare to act rashly." Xia Xiang smiled indifferently, "After all, she is secretly killing people, she is too suspicious, and when she sees a wind chime, she will guess that we have taken precautions, and if she wants to commit murder again, she will definitely think twice." ”
"It turns out that you are betting on a speculation, betting on her error of judgment. What if she is so bold that no matter what kind of wind chimes she has, she will break in directly? Lian Ruohan smiled, very amused by Xia Xiang's strange idea.
"When the two armies are at war, isn't it also the other party's mistake to gamble? Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers and seas. Xia Xiang laughed, looked around, and saw Cao Shuli smiling like a flower, Xiao Jia was full of spring, and Cao Shujun was next to Xiao Jia, not knowing what to say in a whisper, he waved his hand, "Open dinner, open dinner, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, don't stand." ”
Everyone took their seats.
