That night, Su Ren went to the county alone.

When Su Ren came, Chang Shi was already asleep. couldn't stand Su Ren's strong request, and often fought hard to get up. This Su Xianzuo must give himself 10,000 yuan a month, and he has to look at the face of the money without looking at his face.

yawned, often listless: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

Since sending money to Chang Shi, Su Ren has rarely knelt down for him, this time Su Ren knelt in front of Chang Shi with a puff, which made Chang Shi a little surprised, and hurriedly got up and went to pull Su Ren: "What do you have to say, what's wrong?" ”

"Forgive me, just the day before yesterday, the villain almost died! For the rest of my life after the catastrophe, I felt a lot of emotion, and if I couldn't see the county again in the future, I felt uncomfortable. ”

Where does that begin? Who would dare to murder the county? ”

"It's not a murder or a robbery and murder, here is to ask the county to make the villain's decision."

"Be the master, be the master, you get up first and then talk."

Su Ren got up at this time, and explained the collusion between Wu Bald and Liu Wen to Chang Shi in detail, and bowed down again after speaking: "The county lord has to make the decision for the villain, if it weren't for the villain's cleverness, this head would have been gone a long time ago." ”

Chang Shi gasped: "In this ......, although Liu Xiancheng is a little domineering, he won't do this thing of colluding with mountain bandits, right?" ”

"I don't seem to believe my words?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I don't understand it, Liu Xiancheng has been conscientious and has never left the county during this time, it seems a bit far-fetched to say that colluding with mountain bandits, listen to you, it seems that Liu Xiancheng's housekeeper has run away, and there is no human and material evidence, how can I track it down?"

Su Ren sneered in his heart, he really is a guy who doesn't want to mix, since that's the case, then don't blame me: "Okay, since the county zun said so, then I have to endure it, in case something happens to Liu Xiancheng one day, the county zun doesn't look for me!" ”

"Humph! Are you threatening me? "No matter how you say it, it's also an official, and Su Ren's words are naked, and no one is comfortable listening to them.

Su Ren stared at the common thing, and his face was unconvinced: "Don't dare!" Just an analogy. ”

"Okay, I know you're angry, I'll ask Liu Xiancheng about this matter, and I'll give you an explanation."

Chang Shi sighed. Smart people always do what they say, and this Su Ren is one of the few smart people. Liu Wenke is a county magistrate, if something really happens, his county order is not easy to explain. In his heart, he complained that Liu Wen was doing a bit desperately, but he could only say some good things to Su Ren.

Out of the county office, Su Ren went straight to the barracks. Chang Shi doesn't want to be mixed up, he Hou Jian shouldn't stand by and watch, right? At the beginning, Liu Wen sold official salt, and Hou Jian sold private salt. The Liu family and the Hou family are both big families at the top of the top in Wenshui, as the so-called mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, these two families are generations of enmity, even if it is just for a little thing, after a long time, there will be more things will become enemies.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Ren came, Hou Jian laughed: "Okay, I knew you would come, how about it?" ”

"The county lieutenant is really clever, I want to say it's okay, the county lieutenant probably won't believe it, right?"

Hou Jian glared at Su Ren: "Is that old thing going to sit idly by?" Don't look at that common thing usually takes care of you, in fact, this old boy is the worst, always thinking about the two parties competing for his profits, the last time I invited you to the county government was this guy's idea, and that piece of salt could be sold by him for a good price. ”

"I know this, I can see that you have a red face and a white face, not to mention that you were so happy when you gave me salt, you can't say it if you don't give it."

Hou Jian gave a thumbs up: "Hmm! That's what smart people are! Want to get that money back? How about I give you an idea? ”

"It's not for this thing, it's for another, presumably ......"

"This costs money, it's like eating, you can't eat a fat man in one bite, you have to eat slowly, one bite at a time, until you push people into a desperate situation and have to take out the money, you can naturally come back!" Hou Jian interrupted Su Ren's words, and his upper body was almost lying on Su Ren's body, with a wicked smile on his face: "Since the first day I arrived in Wenshui County, I have seen that he is not a good thing, and now you understand, right?" ”

Su Ren's eyebrows were raised, and he stared at Hou Jian coldly. Hou Jian smiled hesitantly.

Su Ren nodded: "Thank you for the advice of the county lieutenant, the villain will keep it in mind and say goodbye!" ”

"Don't send it, go slowly!"

Su Ren was very angry, and glanced back at the gate of the Hou Mansion, both eyes were on fire. Suddenly two words popped up in my head, integrity! Where is the integrity? It is said that the ancients were reliable and had the style of a gentleman, why did they meet a group of fucking white-eyed wolves!

In the middle of the night, quiet finally returned to the barracks, and the liquor shops and workshops were closed. Although these places are all in the barracks, and the soldiers must return to the camp on time when the time comes, this is a rule set by Gaozu, and no one has ever dared to break it.

The moon hung on the top of the mountain, and Su Ren was the only one left in the camp, and the cold weapons around him reflected a cold white light, and the people who watched it felt cold in their hearts. The Han Dynasty still followed the Qin system, even the barracks were the same, the weapons were also imitated from the Qin system, and the axe and Changge were the basic equipment of an army. These weapons are long and terrifying, erected on the weapon shelves, and go straight to the sky.

The government soldiers did not have hard crossbows, let alone stone throwers and other equipment for attacking the city. Even the bow and arrow are the most common of them. The soldiers are used for defense, and as long as the towns they defend are not occupied, their mission is half completed. Of course, the government soldiers have another mission, to hunt down bandits. There is no city in the bandits' lair, and the best thing is to build a cottage, and in the face of thousands of arrows, there is often only one left to flee for their lives.

The snow was falling, in patches, not big but very dense. Soon a layer of white was spread on the ground. Su Ren couldn't feel the cold, because his heart was even colder.

"Suxian Sarubu!" Hou Si put his hands in his sleeves and hurriedly walked over.

Su Ren glanced back. Hou Si's dead face was pale in the moonlight, and those who didn't know him would definitely be scared away.

Standing not far from Su Ren, Hou Si bowed and saluted: "It's cold tonight, Su Xianzuo won't go back, how about you and I find a place to drink two cups?" ”

Su Ren looked left and right: "Is there still a place to drink when the lights are blind?" ”

Hou Si nodded: "Su Xianzuo comes with me!" ”

This liquor shop is on the outermost part of the barracks, next to the barracks. Not only is the façade small, but also extremely simple, there is no pretense at the gate, only a faint smell of wine comes from inside. Su Ren was more curious about this place when he first came to the barracks, it stands to reason that no one wants to open a liquor shop at the gate of the barracks, so that fools know that this barracks is actually a decoration, and no soldiers are willing to come here to drink, how bad it is to be seen by people coming and going. However, there is a liquor store here, and it is open.

There was no knock on the door, and with a gentle push, the door opened. There was a dim oil lamp in the room, and it looked blurry all around. Su Ren looked around, there was no one, not only was there no shopkeeper, but there was not even a shopkeeper. The wine shop is quite clean, and in the corner of the wall, there are two small tables. On top were a plate of meat, two wine bottles, and a jar of wine. The meat was still steaming.

"Don't look at it, it's just the two of us here!" Hou Si said a lot today: "Please put! Suxian Zuo, please be seated. ”

Of course, it was uncomfortable to sit on his knees, so Su Ren sat cross-legged. I haven't eaten for most of the night, and I'm really a little hungry. Grabbing the meat from the plate, he stuffed it into his mouth, completely ignoring the fact that he was toasting himself with a wine glass.

The taste of the meat is very ordinary, and it is far from the meat that Lao Junguan has prepared by Su Ren. But he was hungry, so he ate deliciously. A large piece of meat took three or two bites, and drank another light and tasteless wine, Su Ren shook his body, and then he felt a little more comfortable.

Hou Si knew that Su Ren was still angry, so he didn't say anything, waiting for Su Ren to finish eating. But Su Ren was like a starving ghost, one bite after another, not only ate up the meat on his plate, but also stood up and grabbed the four plates.

No matter how good Hou Si's cultivation is, this kind of shameless person is the first time he has seen it, and he finally can't help it: "Su Xianzuo doesn't want to know what I'm looking for you for?" ”

"Two drinks! You said. ”

Hou Si was expressionless: "No! I'm not just looking for you to have two drinks, I'm on the orders of my county lieutenant to tell you about Wenshui County. ”

"Speak, listen!" Su Ren munched on it and didn't seem to care.

"Wenshui County is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing warm water, there are Southern Barbarian Savages on one side of the mountain, Qiang people on the west, Ba County in the east, and Guanghan County in the north, which is the first county in the southwest of my Han Dynasty."

"In fact, more than ten years ago, this place was still part of the territory of the Dian Kingdom. Gaozu led the troops to come, the people of the Dian country to welcome the king's division, in this warm water sealed the king of Yunnan for the king, and left the side branch as the minister of the Yunnan kingdom, to educate the township, so far the warm water into the Han Dynasty, Gaozu collapsed, Lu Hou took power, the chaos in the court, the counties and countries to cut off Zhu Lu up and down, when the king of Dian has died, there is no heir, Gaozu side branch to the prime minister temporarily replaced the throne, sent troops to Chang'an Kuangfu justice, although the soldiers did not arrive, the matter was solved, the people of Dian were appreciated. ”

"In the first emperor dynasty, Gaozu dedicated the Dian Kingdom to the dynasty, and only then did it include this place in the scope of Shu County, and it has only been a few decades. And Gaozu has been staying in Wenshui and garrisoning the frontier for my Han Dynasty, which was praised by the first emperor. ”

"However, the world can not see the future after all, after a few generations, after the death of the respected ancestor side branch, his descendants have become a generation of nothing, always thinking that one day to revitalize the Dian Kingdom, the achievement of the king's hegemony, then in the name of the first emperor rampant in the township, gather the mountains and bandits to help it succeed, if it is not for recent years, the warm water wind and rain are smooth, I am afraid that the army will be raised long ago, although it can not shake my Han fundamentals, but can be involved in a bloody storm."

Speaking of this, Su Ren finally understood what Hou Si was talking about, and the meat in his hand had already been put down. I don't know if what Hou Si said is true, or I feel shocked!

"Are you talking about a side branch ......?"

Hou Si nodded, acknowledging Su Ren's understanding.
