Borneo, outside the city of Luozi, in the manor mansion where the lord of the feudal lord took refuge in the summer, but there was a strange atmosphere, and the maids, servants, and domestic slaves all walked by on tiptoe, but they could avoid a certain location like the eye of the storm.

This tense and silent atmosphere began to arise with the arrival of a group of Chinese people who went home to visit their relatives a few days ago.

However, there is a lot of taste of returning home, and they also brought another gift from the imperial court, as well as the latest round of news of the eldest prince, this eldest prince who ran away is really good.

Not only did he flourish in Guangfu, but now he actually led an army by himself to make contributions to the imperial court, and these countrymen returned from his army.

A Borneo guild hall made him almost unknown to everyone in East and West Borneo, and I don't know how many people from other counties and other states have to go to Guangfu to recognize a place and become familiar with each other, and rely on one or two in the future or take advantage of it and form a good relationship.

This time, they also brought with them the retainers and countrymen who followed the eldest prince's side, and the family letters and letters of the sons of the tribes and feudal clans, as well as money, souvenirs, and various gifts sent back.

In order to deliver these things one by one, he ran for more than half a month, and also used a certain exaggerated and ostentatious tone to spread the news everywhere.

As the lord of the domain, there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only sit back and watch the changes, and he didn't even have the will to restrain or summon them a little.

Even the most stupid people can feel this change and impact,

Especially for the relatively closed and conservative Yuanzhou such as Fuyuan Prefecture and Luo Fan. It is also one of the few topics that can easily be talked about for a long time.

After all, the ancestors of most countrymen and retainers also cut through the wilderness to expel and tame the local tribes, and those who have the current family inheritance can easily form a certain plot of advocating martial arts and personal struggle.

It's just a kind of light and shade lintel and reward, if placed in an ordinary feudal family, it is enough to become a family heirloom in a sense, or a glory that will never be forgotten.

But for the contemporary Luo clan lords, behind the praise of those state towns, the various congratulations and icing on the cake of the ceremonial officials, and the reserve and enthusiasm, there is some embarrassment and helplessness.

For those who are a little more informed, this kind of praise from the official about the father and son Xiao is more profound and sobering than what directly comes to the door and slaps him in the face.

Who called the original concubine issue, it was the feudal lord's sitting and watching attitude that forced the eldest prince away,

Any discerning person can see that the eldest prince has a great future outside, but it is not comparable to the ordinary daily life of hiding in the domain smoothly and waiting for the inheritance of the family business step by step.

Maybe after many years, the Luo clan can open a new feudal family again, but this kind of obligation and responsibility that should be borne by the concubine actually appeared on the eldest son, which is a bit ironic and absurd.

This kind of rumor has intensified with the news that the eldest prince has made a private lifelong decision, and the other party is also a good choice for the family business to have more authority and means after the famous family of the sea domain.

It's not just a person patting his chest and pointing to the heavens and the earth with a gambling curse, and seeing with his own eyes how the eldest lady of the Yuwen family is like a real hostess, entering the house, going in and out of daily life, and even participating in housework and business, all that is missing is a name and a reason.

Compared with the marriage of the rich widow arranged by the head of the family, it is more than I don't know how many times

This in turn gave the retainers who were loyal to the Roche a certain worry and pressure. After all, in addition to the relationship between father and son, the contemporary feudal lord has not obviously lost his morality, and it has not yet reached the point where his retainers and subordinates betrayed their relatives and forced them to retire early.

But the so-called name of the parents of the matchmaker's words, if in the end the little son came out, but failed to get the blessing and recognition from his father, the eldest son really wanted to be heartbroken, so he pushed the boat down the river, and posted it to the door Yuwen family, then the Luo family really became the laughing stock of the world, although this possibility seems extremely small, but it makes people feel a faint pain when they think about it.

Therefore, thinking about it, the crux of this kind of father-son loss and long-term refusal to separate and the obstacle between the two can easily blame everyone on a certain external factor, which is obviously because of her appearance, which led to this series of unstable factors.

This mixed state of mind of exuberance and humiliation is complex, and it is doubly projected on a certain woman and her offspring through a certain subtle change in attitude of the retainers and the subordinates.

Therefore, in these two days, you can always see the broken utensils that have been cleaned out, or the damaged furniture, in the increased wrinkles and sighs of the housekeeper.

And Xiao Luo Gongzi's study tour plan was once again postponed indefinitely because of the aggravation of his condition. Of course, according to the gossip of the familiar maid, it was actually the little boy who woke up at night and wetted the bed, and committed it again.

In the afternoon when Guangfu, a small port in Xiangshan, even the sound of cicadas chirping became weak, Luo Kedi, who came from the far north, once again wiped the sweat that kept coming out of his head, fanned the cool breeze that was useless, and stepped on the land of the Southern Dynasty.

For the mission he carried, he traveled almost all over the place in twists and turns, and finally was guided here like a fateful choice.

As accustomed to the cold and dryness of the north, the unique heat and humidity of the local summer in Guangfu made him very uncomfortable. Especially after getting seasick and vomiting in the dark, he almost described it as withered, mechanically numb and carried by the flow of people, and walked down.

When he was in a daze, he regained his composure and found that the money on his body, along with the things in his sleeve pockets, had been wiped out by a certain clever person, leaving only the clothes and sundries that no one wanted in the bag that had been cut open and spilled on the ground.

The three major evils of Guangfu, pickpockets, beggars, and the Fan Gang, he can be regarded as one of them.

He was in a daze, but someone slapped him on the shoulder,

"Xiao Luo, why did you go so fast...... Don't wait for me a minute."

Luo Kedi turned around suddenly, and when he saw the stubby figure, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But it was Hu Jingshui, one of Liangshan's customers, who was also the introducer and leader of his line.

"You've been a thief......"

Hu Jingshui said in surprise

"I lost some of my belongings......"

Luo Kedi's tanned face was a little red, he also brought one of the officials and soldiers in the north, and he didn't want to be planted in the hands of some thieves in this southern life.

"Brother Hu, I thought about it a long time ago, I wanted to remind you one or two, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious and get off the boat.

Hu Jingshui shook his head lightly and sighed comfortingly.

"But it's okay, this piece is guarded......"

"If you don't care about the loss of money, I can help you get back other things that you lost......"

"Then it's troublesome Brother Hu......"

Luo Kedi didn't have a mother-in-law, so he agreed.

"A little duty and a little heart......

Hu Jingshui took care of everything.

Walking in the shadow of the building, eating the clam cakes sold by street vendors, and slowly admiring the arcades, tiled sheds, tall cornices and other scenery along the street that are very different from those in the north, he finally regained some spirit and energy.

"Borneo Guild Hall?"

Luo Kedi looked at the busy traffic in front of him, and the buildings that flowed in and out of the river couldn't help but be surprised.

"Aren't you Yizhou Chamber of Commerce......"

He wiped his eyes to see if he was in the wrong place

"Of course......

It was easy to keep up with his pace, Hu Jingshui, whose face was full of sweat, was a little helpless, but he said with seven points of smugness.

"The person behind me who can call the shots is half the main thing here......"

"If you want to meet and find this place to spread the word, there is absolutely no problem......"

With the flags of the officers and soldiers gathered in Tiannan, one by one disappeared into the sky with the sails of the fleet, this devastated and painful land finally ushered in a long-lost peace.

In contrast, like flies chasing stinky meat, all kinds of merchants and clubs poured in, and the land of Tiannan has always been known for its wealth and prolificity, and it was originally regarded as an important branch of the nation, and the forbidden and direct collars of one of the four major offices controlled and controlled a large number of interests in the local area.

Except for the heirs of the Son of Heaven, the Southern Dynasties generally did not give the living people the title of king, but took the prince as the apex of the people's ministers. However, only four of them could be called public offices, and the others could only be used as public offices, precisely because they had some kind of privilege of subdividing the feudal estates and administering the feudal domains.

Over time, these privileges and titles have also spawned many interests and industries outside the direct territory of the office.

Now it has also become a means of rewarding meritorious deeds, and favoring and befriending important ministers in the court, which suddenly set off a frenzy of partition for a while, accompanied by the follow-up of various interest groups.

At this time, this rather prescient, but unjustifiably named aftermath left behind in the grain and Taiwan Division, suddenly became a little hot, or put it on the fire to roast.

"You want to go to the bandits?"

Hearing my request, Wei Chen, the slightly fatter chief officer, couldn't help but show some kind of unbelievable expression on his face,

"Exactly"

I'm just telling him clearly, but if this operation is good, this is also a good opportunity to continue to make a fortune. After all, there are so many interests involved in the many towns that I can't afford to afford, but the benefits of these towns do not prevent me from having other plans.

After conventions became some kind of quid pro quo and compromise, I was given the equally not-so-justified mandate to "appease the place"

After the war, I don't know how many remnants of the former rebels, after the annihilation, they fled and scattered the people, whether it was gathering in the mountains and forests, or fleeing back to the countryside, it was a huge hidden danger.

So, we spent the whole summer in all kinds of anti-bandit operations.

Some are the troubles of the authentic Panheng Mountains and Forests, or the rout soldiers who escaped, and some are their protective umbrellas, if there is no one in the local area to cooperate, these strongmen will not survive alone for a long time, and some are obviously unknown heroic and powerful Tu clans, who have contributed a lot of bandits.

Our business soon expanded to neighboring states, although there were various complaints and protests from local officials about unauthorized overstepping of bounds and powers, or dogs taking rats, and overstepping their boundaries.

But the chiefs of the Zenliu Division, while counting the revenue share I sent, and making an understatement about the remnants of the rebellious party are enough to ⊥ most people to shut up, at least until the new bureaucrats sent by the imperial court, and the appointees derived from them, fill the void in the upper power and end the duties and missions of the Zenliu Division.

So, there began to be a local wealthy family, who took the initiative to ask us to go to the pacification place, and then happily went around, and kindly gave a batch of remuneration and then sent away, which can be regarded as a long time to be safe.

Of course, this time I didn't stand in the foreground, but through the peripheral people who don't know much, even the relationship on the face is very meager and obscure, and even makes people come out, so it is difficult to ask for benefits, and then play a double reed that releases the suspicion for a while.

Because during the period when I was leading the team, I was also a little tanned, and in their words, a little leaner.

Although I was comfortable in the city, enjoying the singing and dancing banquets at the two ends of the three days, while sitting on the other people who had received the benefits of their own visits, it was difficult to understand my somewhat thankless enthusiasm and dedication, but at least it was beneficial to them, and I was happy to acquiesce to it.

This situation remained until a certain news came.
