In the Yazheng Hall of Jimo County, Zhao Min looked at the stack of papers in front of him with a gloomy face, this was the 'confession' written by Cheng Bi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Cheng Bi has confessed all the ins and outs, and Meng Hou and Zhao Yun have also successfully taken the pirate camp and returned to Jimo. Although this time can be regarded as a big victory, Zhao Min's mood is not happy at all.

Cheng Bi has been sitting in the seat of Jimo Ling for almost eight years, and since the Red Turban Rebellion five years ago, he noticed that the control of the imperial court was weakening, so he had some strange thoughts to strengthen his control in Jimo County and focus on cultivating a private army. But after all, he is an official, and for the convenience of his work, he let his wife and brother pull a group of homeless people and scattered pirates to set up a pirate camp, in addition to doing some pirate work, robbing ships, but also part-time smuggling of goods; Of course, the most important thing is to use the name of pirates to do things that are inconvenient for them, such as eradicating dissidents, forcibly seizing land, and so on.

I thought that I didn't know about this matter, but a middle-aged scribe came to visit a month ago, claiming to be the head of the Beihai County Guard, and he actually knew everything about Cheng Bi's private pirates! Cheng Bi was immediately silent! Fortunately, the master of the Fu surname Nangong did not mean to embarrass Cheng Bi, but just asked him to make the Xiahou family collapse within a month, and after the matter was completed, he also promised to give him a quota of 800 war horses in Jimo County! You must know that in this era, war horses belong to strategic materials, and private trading is prohibited among the people, even the county soldiers have quota restrictions, and they are allocated to the county, at most 100 horses per year, and even the scout team is not enough. Now that a quota of 800 horses has been given at once, how can Cheng Bi not be ecstatic!

In addition, he has long coveted the huge family property of Xiahou's family, and in the past, he was afraid of the family of relatives, but now with the support of the Taishou Mansion, why do you need to hesitate, immediately throw out a bait for Xiahou Ying to swallow, and then quietly purchase food so that Xiahou Ying has no food to buy, and then release the wind to lure Xiahou Ying to go out, and the pirates disguised as bandits hijacked halfway, and finally took Xiahou's family back to the public in the name of the right, one ring after another, so that Xiahou's family will never recover!

The only thing he didn't expect was Zhao Min, not only had an army of thousands of people, but also had the good luck to get letters, of course, he also blamed his straw bag wife and brother, who actually had a lax defense to let a few people come and go freely in the thousand-person camp, and finally ended up with a conspiracy exposed and ruined.

"It's Lu Xu's old boy again! It's just too deceitful! Zhao Min slapped the table fiercely, and the pieces of paper on the table flew in all directions. was poisoned and murdered in the town of drama, and colluded with bandits, sent troops to attack, and now he is still plotting against his maternal uncle's house! Is it tolerable or unbearable!

Meng Hou on the side remained silent, silently picked up the documents that fell on the ground one by one, and sorted them out one by one. Waiting for Zhao Min to take a few breaths and panting, he spoke slowly: "I don't know how many generals the Beihai King will have, how many soldiers?" With a population of more than 10,000, how long can the grain and grass last? How does it compare to a county in Beihai? ”

Zhao Min's chest rose and fell, and it took a while for a while to snort from his nose: "It's not as good." ”

"It's better to know it, but what's the good of being angry now?"

Zhao Min thought for a while, and finally said gloomily: "What Mr. said is that Min knows that he is wrong!" ”

Meng Hou saw that Zhao Min had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and nodded with satisfaction: "Shame and courage, kindness!" Now he is bullied everywhere, but his strength is not good. You are the prince and the king of the North Sea, with a noble status, and now you are just in your infancy, like the rising sun of the newborn, and the future is unlimited; Thinking that Lu Xu is just the guard of a county, he only governs a million people, and his palms are less than 100,000 soldiers, and when you are full-fledged, Lu Xu is just a dry bone in the grave! Wouldn't it be unwise to go head-to-head with it now? The most urgent task now is to develop our strength step by step, and not to do unwise things. ”

Zhao Min took a deep breath and bowed: "What Mr. said is that Min is taught!" ”

Meng Hou turned around and left with satisfaction, but he didn't see the fierce look in Zhao Min's eyes flash.

Lu Xu provoked again and again, it is not Zhao Min's style to be so tolerant! However, Meng Hou is right, and now it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. It is impossible to expose Lu Xu's conspiracy: there is no evidence of cutting the saddle and poisoning when he was in the county; All the dead soldiers in Fuyong Mountain died, and the county soldiers didn't know about it, but they only caught Chen Zhen, but unfortunately Zhao Min himself knew that it was impossible for Chen Zhen to identify Lu Xu, the ancients regarded the grace of knowing the encounter as more important than their lives, and if they forced Chen Zhen, it must be a consequence of self-destruction; As for framing Cheng Bi of the Xiahou family, it is a trick, but unfortunately Cheng Bi himself is guilty, and it is also a problem for how many people can believe his confession, not to mention that he did not catch the master in the end, and it is bound to be difficult to win people's trust based on only one-sided words.

However, Zhao Min also has a plan in his heart, if he can succeed, he will definitely make Lu Xu recover. Unfortunately, now is not the time.

Just thinking about it, someone outside reported: "Uncle Xiahou asks to see!" ”

Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, and reacted that Uncle Xiahou should be his eldest uncle, the current head of the Xiahou family, and Xiahou Ying, who had just been rescued from the thief's den. Hurry up and tidy up your clothes and stand at the door: "Hurry up, please!" ”

Xiahou Ying walked like an indoor under the leadership of his subordinates, and Zhao Min hurriedly went up to greet him: "Let Uncle suffer, I can't save it, and Min Zhi is wrong!" ”

Xiahou Ying is less than forty years old, and her eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Xiahou Jie, but she is a little less elegant and a little more sophisticated. Xiahou Ying hugged Zhao Min who was about to bow down, "Ah Min, let's not say polite words from our uncle and nephew, I have already learned from Zhong Hao's mouth that everything is going to be rescued by Ah Min, otherwise don't talk about your uncle, even the entire Xiahou family will not be a piece of tiles!" ”

Zhao Min saw that Xiahou Ying's face was not very good, and he thought that he was detained in the thief village for a few days, so he hurriedly comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, everything is fine at home now, the key is that you, the head of the family, are safe, and everyone will be much more relieved!" I don't think it's as good as this, uncle, you have been working hard for a few days, now go and rest first, and how about talking about it tomorrow if you have something? ”

Xiahou Ying shook his head again and again: "I have figured out a truth in the past few days of detention: if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, then my generation is lucky; Born in troubled times, it is the life of my generation! I think my Xiahou family has been in business for nearly 100 years, and I am worth tens of millions, but I can disappear in an instant under a county order. So if you don't have the corresponding strength, money is just a passing thing! Ah Min, in the past, people said that you were not a talent, but now looking at it, your future future will be limitless. Therefore, the uncle plans to entrust the Xiahou family to you, even if there is an accident in the future, at least keep a little incense from the Xiahou family, which is worthy of the ancestors of the Xiahou family! In the end, he burst into tears.

Zhao Min was taken aback! This is not what I expected, huh? I just want to use Xiahou's family as a bank for housing loans, but I didn't say that I want to open a bank by myself? However, looking at Xiahou Ying with tears in his eyes, Zhao Min also had some understanding in his heart: life in troubled times is not as good as a dog! Xiahou Ying is scared! Yes, this time a Cheng Bi almost ruined his family, who dares to guarantee that there will be no Wang Bi and Li Bi in the future? Zhao Min couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about the plan to be launched in Jimo, it really needs the help of the Xiahou family's financial and human resources; What's more, the Xiahou family has been in business for generations, and now even the channels of the trade route have been solved, so everyone is happy! At that moment, he gritted his teeth and said to Xiahou Ying: "Since Uncle doesn't dislike Min, Min will never disappoint Xiahou's family!" It's just that Yu is just a layman in the way of business, and the specific affairs of the family are still maintained by his uncle. I don't have the right to open the mansion for the time being, only the wronged uncle is the first to be the head of the mansion and manage all the money and food matters. ”

Xiahou Ying was relieved and wiped away her tears: "Thank you Beihai King!" "Complying with the King of the North Sea like this is the first step in officially recognizing the master-slave relationship. Zhao Min also paid attention to Xiahou Ying's attribute data by the way:

Name: Xiahou English character Boxiong

Status: None

Command: 42

Force: 26

Intelligence: 72

Politics: 66

Identity: Commercial

Business: In the state of sitting as a businessman, there is a greater chance of increasing the selling price and lowering the buying price.

Hey? Is there a characteristic? This is the first time I have seen people in this era also have characteristics, Zhao Min originally thought that only the summoned famous generals had characteristics, and it turned out that the natives could too! However, this characteristic really made Zhao Min a little crying and laughing, although it was a good thing for himself, but was it really good to blatantly regard 'profiteers' as a characteristic?

Next, Zhao Min comforted Xiahou Ying again, and then arranged for someone to send him back to rest, and then slowly walked back to the bedroom. Along the way, thinking about Jimo County, farmland, and commerce, I couldn't help but say to myself: "It's time to come out with a charter." ”
