Chapter 209: Yang Mou

Meng Zan led more than a dozen Hongze Shui Kou to confront the officers and soldiers of Lei Tingjin, and almost really clashed. If it weren't for Nan Yong leading the army to come, it would definitely lead to bloodshed.

Nangong looked at the scene and probably understood what was going on. Hearing that his subordinates actually broke into the restaurant to spread the wilderness, his heart sank.

He hadn't been in Xiayi for a long time, but when he saw that everything was in order, he knew that Kong Sheng had strict law enforcement. The so-called troubled times should be re-enacted, if it is not for the strict law as a deterrent, it is strange that Xiayi City is not chaotic.

He knew that things were not good, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Nie Chuchen.

Nie Chuchen actually got the news and hurried over. Nie Chuchen saw Meng Zan tied up on the street by the officials and soldiers of Lei Tingjin, and his heart was slightly uncomfortable.

Meng Zan was her former subordinate after all.

When Meng Zan saw Nie Chuchen, he shouted for help: "The big boss, please be the master of a certain family!" ”

The few big men who were also tied up and making trouble in the Moon Tower also begged for help: "Please ask the big boss to be the master of our Hongze Chemen brothers!" ”

Nie Chuchen's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Lei Tingjin with an indignant expression, groaned for a while, and then looked at Nan Yong, who looked calm, and said loudly: "Why are you arresting people?" ”

In Nie Chuchen's opinion, these people are her former subordinates after all, and they are also an important military force that she persuaded to bring in Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng snubbed them, she didn't care, but if the official army wanted to attack these water thieves for no reason, she couldn't sit idly by.

Lei Tingjin was about to say something, but Nan Yong grabbed his arm and shook his head.

Thunder stomped his foot angrily. Turn your head away.

Nan Yong knew that Nie Chuchen had a good relationship with Kong Sheng. Then he clasped his fists and smiled: "The last general has seen Miss Nie." A few of them broke into the Moon Tower and injured people. He also openly disobeyed the orders of the Overseer and demanded wine and meat, but General Ray led people to stop them, and these people resisted law enforcement, and just as the last general led people through this place, he took them down. ”

Nie Chuchen suddenly raised his head and looked at Meng Zan: "Meng Laosan, you tell me the truth, are you deliberately making trouble?" ”

Meng Zan defended: "The big boss." These brothers came to the liquor store to pay for wine and food, which was supposed to be a fair deal, but the owner of the liquor store deliberately deceived people, one thief on the left and one thief on the right, so humiliating, do we still have to kneel and beg them for mercy? ”

The more Meng Zan spoke, the more indignant he became: "Why do they enjoy wine and meat to their heart's content, but only give us cold cakes?" Even a businessman who opened a shop dared to bully us, why should we brothers stay here and look up to others?! ”

"Big boss, please lead the brothers to leave Xiayi and return to Hongze!"

Meng Zan wept bitterly. Several of the water cowards who were taken down by the official army even cried even more.

Da-da-da-da!

Behind the crowd there was a sudden and loud sound of horses' hooves.

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Kong Sheng wearing bright armor. Holding Fang Tian's halberd, he led the white horse to chase the wind, and walked step by step.

Everyone hastened out of the way.

Nie Chuchen looked at Kong Sheng, although she didn't say anything, Kong Sheng also sensed a strong dissatisfaction from her gaze.

Nangong Wang stood silently on his side all the time, silent. He wanted to see how Kong Sheng dealt with it, if Kong Sheng did not handle it properly or unfairly, he would definitely take the opportunity to take these water cowards to leave Xiayi and return to Hongze.

Originally, most of these Shui Kou were Nie Chuchen's people, but after coming to Xiayi, instead of getting the respect and treatment they deserved, they were snubbed and humiliated, and this conflict directly caused the same hatred and hatred of Shui Kou.

If Nie Chuchen was on Kong Sheng's side, these people would inevitably be dissatisfied, which Nangong Wang was happy to see.

Therefore, Nangong Wang has been silent, allowing the situation to expand out of control, and this is what he wants.

Kong Sheng turned a blind eye to Nie Chuchen's dissatisfaction.

He looked at Nangong and smiled faintly, and arched his hand: "Senior Brother Nangong, I have worked hard all the way, Kong is busy with official business, and he has not seen Senior Brother, there is any neglect, please forgive Senior Brother Nangong and all the brothers!" ”

Nangong saw that Kong Sheng had directly found him, and he couldn't help but respond, so he reluctantly smiled and said: "Kong Overseer is busy with official business, and the people of Nangong who look at the mountains and wilderness should have taken the initiative to meet Lord Overseer!" ”

Kong Sheng smiled: "Senior Brother Nangong is polite. Nam Yong, what's going on? ”

Kong Sheng smiled and turned his head to look at Nan Yong. Nam Yong still briefly recounted the incident.

Kong Sheng snorted and inserted Fang Tian's halberd into the ground, then looked at Meng Zan awe-inspiring and said indifferently: "Meng Laosan, you said that the official army deliberately humiliated you, but in fact, it was just you who humiliated yourself!" There has been a ban on alcohol in this city, and all military and civilian people are not allowed to drink and drink, and you dare to ask the store for alcohol and food in public, disobeying the military orders of this official, this is already a deserving crime! ”

"You keep claiming that you have been humiliated and neglected, do you know that at the moment of resisting thieves, there is a shortage of food and grass, and all the soldiers and civilians, including their own officials, are thrifty in food and clothing to tide over the difficulties! You can go to any mansion in Xiayi City to check, if someone drinks and enjoys meat, this official will not spare it! ”

"How do you know that the bread you gnaw on is also subtracted from the rations of the 500 people in the recruit camp under Nan Yong's command? Everyone is reducing their rations in order to defend the city against thieves, and as soon as you come, you will ask for wine and meat, so where can you find it? ”

Kong Sheng's voice suddenly rose a few degrees and became extremely high-pitched: "When the national disaster is at hand, the military and the people of Xiayi are united to fight the traitors!" You used to be mountain thieves and water bandits, but now when you come to serve in the army, you are no longer thieves but officials and soldiers, since you are officers and soldiers, you must abide by the laws and discipline of the imperial court, how can you commit murder and hurt people at every turn? “

"This official is new to you, and you don't understand the laws and regulations, so this time you are not to blame. If you dare to violate it again, you will definitely be severely punished! “

"Nan Yong, release them!"

Nan Yong got the order and let his subordinate soldiers release Meng Zan and these people. Meng Zan retreated with his subordinates in embarrassment, Kong Sheng's eyes were blazing, and he looked around with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand and said: "As long as you change your evil ways and return to the right, and serve the court wholeheartedly, this official can swear to the heavens here, and treat you as one, without the slightest selfishness, if you make military merits, this official will ask the court for your merits!" “

"This official has in his hand the letter of appointment of the captain of the Seven Grades of Zhiguo given by the imperial court. Those who have made military contributions. Be sealed! “

Kong Sheng's deep gaze fell on Tang Genshui, who was standing behind Nangong Wang. He suddenly arched his hand and said, "Brother Tang! “

Tang Genshui was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Kong Sheng to greet him in public, and after a little hesitation, he still replied in a muffled voice: "Tang has seen Kong Overseer!" “

Kong Sheng smiled loudly: "Brother Tang and I don't know each other, in the next battle of Chemen Mountain, Brother Tang is brave and fierce, and he can be called a hero in the world." “

Kong Sheng's inexplicable compliment came suddenly, and Tang Genshui was made red-faced. A little embarrassed and said: "Kong Overseer is the hero of the world, comparable to the power of the overlord, the courage of Tang Moufu, and the defeated general under the Overseer, how can he be brave?" “

"Brother Tang is too modest. Kong has long admired Brother Tang's loyalty and bravery, and today he specially invited Captain Guo to come to the army to fight against the rebels and help the country! In the future, if you make contributions, you will be able to worship the generals! “

Kong Sheng waved his hand, and Nan Yong smiled knowingly. He took out the letter of appointment of Captain Zhiguo that had been prepared long ago from his bosom and held it high above his head: Please General Tang accept this letter of appointment!

Tang Genshui's face was flushed. Some are at a loss.

This is the letter of appointment of the captain of the seventh rank Zhiguo, for Tang Genshui, who was born in a reckless manner, it can be said that he will change his fate in one step. To say that he is not tempted is absolutely false.

But Tang Genshui is a fan of Nangong Wang after all, he has been following Nangong Wang for a long time, even under this temptation, he can still bear it, and turned his head to look at Nangong Wang.

All the Hong Ze Shui Kou present were dumbfounded, looking at Tang Genshui with extremely envious eyes.

What the hell is this, it was originally a conflict, but it turned into invisible, and in an instant it became a conference where Tang Genshui was canonized as a school captain!

Nie Chuchen was a little surprised, and secretly shook his head in horror at Kong Sheng's unreasonable playing of cards.

Nangong Wang took a deep breath and looked at Kong Sheng with a complicated expression.

He knew very well in his heart that Kong Sheng's sudden performance of such a play was nothing more than a means to buy people's hearts. For these thieves who tried to clear their hands and reform, the temptation of the official title of the seventh rank was incomparable. As long as they can obtain this letter of appointment, they will become legitimate officials of the imperial court, and they will not be able to make wives and children in the future.

But Nangong Wang also knew that Kong Sheng was a blatant conspiracy. Everyone understands, but no one can resist.

Kong Sheng seemed to be smiling, looking at Tang Genshui, who was entangled and embarrassed, his expression changed, and he was doing a fierce psychological struggle.

Nangong Wang smiled bitterly and sighed.

He knew that he had fallen into the inferior class again, and was forced by Kong Sheng's methods.

If he didn't let Tang Genshui accept the letter of appointment, Tang Genshui would certainly obey his fate, but he would definitely have a dislike in his heart. And it's not just Tanggen water, I'm afraid that these water cowards will produce mustard.

And if he asks Tang Genshui to accept the letter of appointment, then Tang Genshui, who has become the seven-rank official of the imperial court, will it still be the Tang Genshui in the past?

"Senior Brother Kong is a chess player, and the mountain people really admire it." Nangong Wang walked up to Kong Sheng and said in a low voice.

Kong Sheng smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Nangong, the junior brother is sincere, and he is also wrong to seek a way to advance for Brother Hongze?" “

The corners of Nangong Wang's mouth twitched.

Nangong Wang immediately said lightly: "Gen Shui, it's rare that Kong Overseer Jun treats you so seriously, and the opportunity is rare, and you still don't accept the letter of appointment?" In the future, he joined the army to fight bravely for the imperial court, and he also made meritorious contributions to his career. “

As soon as Nangong looked at these words, Tang Genshui was relieved.

He stepped forward slowly, slowly bowing down to the letter of appointment.

"Captain Tang Genshui obeys orders!" Kong Sheng burst into applause.

Tang Genshui took the letter of appointment into his arms and replied solemnly: "The end will be!" “

"This officer has appointed you as the deputy commander of the infantry battalion, and your subordinates will obey orders!"

Tang Genshui took a deep breath, the corner of his eyes swept over Nangong Wang, and slowly bowed to Kong Sheng again: "The last general will obey the order!" “

The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth floated with a smile in his hand. He waved his hand to Nangong Wang, turned around and held Fang Tian's halberd, and led the horse away.

A storm turned invisible. And because Tang Genshui turned into Captain Zhiguo, an official general, this caused a sensation in the water kou. All the dissatisfaction and complaints that felt left out instantly turned into some kind of enthusiasm for trying to make meritorious contributions, Nangong Wang looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed, Kong Sheng's methods were so miraculous that he inadvertently suppressed him.

Nangong Wang had to admit that he was a real beginner in terms of scheming methods. And Kong Sheng has long been an erudite professor.

Meng Zan hid in the crowd, his eyes staring directly at Tang Genshui, his eyes flashing with endless jealousy and envy.

Nie Chuchen followed Kong Sheng into the yamen of the official office, Kong Sheng stopped, turned his head to glance at Nie Chuchen's graceful and fiery figure, and smiled: "Senior Sister Nie, are you satisfied with such an arrangement?" ”

Nie Chuchen laughed coquettishly: "You little thief, you are really cunning and tight!" You are fighting with Senior Brother Nangong, don't drag the slave family into it! Anyway, I don't care what you do, as long as you don't be cruel to these brothers. Although they are a little rude, if they really go to the battlefield, none of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, you have to know in your heart. ”

Because there was no one around, Nie Chuchen subconsciously used "thief", in fact, she herself had realized that such a nickname was not humiliation at all, but a kind of intimacy.

Kong Sheng shrugged: "That's nature. Of course, I will not treat these brothers badly, but since they are in the army, they must abide by the rules of the official army, otherwise, if they break the rules, no one will be able to protect them. ”

Nie Chuchen rushed over with an arrow, and whispered softly in Kong Sheng's ear with a smile: "You little thief, just talk about others, when will you fulfill your promise to the slave family?" ”

Nie Chuchen was talking about a certain promise that Kong Sheng had a night talk with her in Suiyang City. In fact, Kong Sheng didn't really promise to marry her at the beginning, but no matter what, Kong Sheng himself knew in his heart that the complicated relationship between himself and Nie Chuchen was becoming more and more complicated.

Say it's a close lover, not yet. But if you want to say that there is no private relationship, let alone outsiders, Mu Changfeng and these people don't believe it. And Nie Chuchen psychologically, she has already completed the role change, she openly swaggered into the inner courtyard of the official office, and regarded herself as Kong Sheng's inner dependent, which is probably unknown to everyone in Xiayi City.

Even if Kong Sheng wants to deny it, he can't deny it.

Hearing this, Kong Sheng shrank his neck a little embarrassed, and walked forward half a step forward without a trace, avoiding Nie Chuchen's breakable smile, and said softly: "Senior Sister Nie, you rest first, I have to go outside the city to practice archery, I will be lost first!" ”

After speaking, Kong Sheng panicked and left.

Behind him, Nie Chuchen's crisp and hearty laughter came.

Nie Chuchen has a simple and straightforward personality, but he is not without a little scheming. She knows the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and she also knows that between men and women, you need to slowly cultivate a relationship. Anyway, she identified Kong Sheng, and there was time to manage it slowly, and over time, she believed that Kong Sheng would fall in love with her with all her heart. (To be continued.) )
