Although Liuzhou is remote, there is also a distinction between rich and poor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is also a difference between high and low.

And the largest aristocratic family in Liuzhou is none other than the Mu family.

Maybe the Mu family is not as big as the other families in other parts of the Tang Dynasty, but in Liuzhou, the words of Mu Ling, the head of the Mu family, are the law, and in the entire Liuzhou, no one dares to offend the Mu family, not even the people in the government.

The Mu family is very rich, and if they have money, they can hire thugs and raise dead soldiers.

In the entire Liuzhou, I don't know how many people who offended the Liu family died for no reason.

When Sima Kongzhu followed the man to Mu's house, Mu Ling was already waiting.

Mu Ling is a fat man, a very fat kind, but his eyes are big, but his nose is very small, if he loses weight, he will definitely be a handsome man, but unfortunately he is a fat man.

Mu Ling didn't put Sima Kongzhu in his eyes at all, he raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked, "Say, what is the origin of this new assassin history." ”

Sima Kongzhu has encountered this situation many times, every time there is a thorn history to take office, Mu Ling will ask him about the situation of the new thorn history, if the new thorn history is not interested, the Mu family will take action.

Since Sima Kongzhu became Sima of Liuzhou, there have been two assassins who have either died or escaped.

Now that he was asked again, Sima Kongzhu suddenly became worried about Tang Zhou, but he soon realized that if he didn't tell the truth, he would have to worry about himself first.

"His name is Tang Zhou, he is deeply favored by the saints, he is a marquis, and he is also a concubine, and his background is very ......"

Sima Kongzhu told Tang Zhou's situation, after he said this, Mu Ling was already frowning, listening to what Sima Kongzhu said, this Tang Zhou's background is really deep, not to mention a small family like him in Liuzhou, even if other big families in the Tang Dynasty want to move him, he can't be afraid.

But he soon discovered something wrong.

"Since this Tang Zhou has won the holy favor, why was he relegated here?"

"I heard that he had a fight with His Royal Highness the King of Wei in the palace, and as a result, Li Tai, the King of Wei, was demoted to the King of Shunyang, and he was sent here."

The matter of Chang'an, it is impossible for them to know the details in Liuzhou, even these are hearsay, now that Sima Kongzhu said this, Mu Ling felt that Tang Zhou's identity was only high, and the background was deep.

The entire Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know the name of Li Tai, the king of Wei, is the one who is about to become the prince, Tang Zhou fought with him in the palace, and as a result, the king of Wei became the king of Shunyang, but Tang Zhou was just demoted to Liuzhou as a assassin, isn't this enough to explain the situation?

If other people dare to fight with Li Tai, the king of Wei, I'm afraid that their heads will have moved long ago, right?

Now Tang Zhou has been demoted to Liuzhou, but the current saint must still favor him, and he may be recalled to the capital when he will be.

For such a person, Mu Ling has always taken the principle of not offending if he can.

"Did this Tang Zhou say anything, does he want to rectify Liuzhou?"

Tang Zhou wanted to rectify Liuzhou, but Sima Kongzhu didn't dare to say anything about it, so he could only go to the banquet and said: "Tang Zhou just came, and he hasn't had time to say what he is going to do." ”

"Okay, if he does anything, you have to inform me in time, if you let me know what you are hiding, watch your head."

It is rare for a common person to dare to intimidate an official of the imperial court like this, but Mu Ling just did it, and Sima Kongzhu had no way to face this situation.

After responding, Mu Ling let Sima Kongzhu leave.

--------------------------

The next day, Tang Zhou didn't ask Sima Kongzhu about Liuzhou City again, as if he wasn't interested in the things here at all, but took Lin Qingsu to find a house near the mansion.

How could they live in a dilapidated place like the mansion, so they had to find a good place.

There are a lot of houses around the mansion, but they are all one by one, not particularly big, so Tang Zhou and they paid to buy more than a dozen houses, and then opened up these houses, or built houses or various decorations, in addition to being busy with this, they didn't ask about other things in Liuzhou City.

Tang Zhou's situation made many forces in Liuzhou feel at ease, thinking that Tang Zhou was just a person who was greedy for pleasure, not a person who wanted to do things.

Therefore, many people have come to visit, either to give gifts or money.

And for these, Tang Zhou did not fall and accepted them all.

However, when Tang Zhou and the others moved into the new house, Ma Qing told Tang Zhou what he had heard these days.

Tang Zhou couldn't believe Sima Kongzhu's words, so he decided to let Ma Qing personally investigate and inquire, while he made a false impression to confuse those people in Liuzhou City in order to achieve the goal of surprise.

After Ma Qing came back, he said to Tang Zhou: "Little Marquis, I have already inquired about the situation in Liuzhou City. ”

Tang Zhou made a cup of tea, pushed a cup over to Ma Qing, and then said, "Say it." ”

"First of all, a lot of business and land in Liuzhou City are controlled by the magnates and wealthy merchants here and the county orders of the surrounding counties, and many people have no land and no work to do, so they can only rob along the way and become robbers, which is the one we met on the way to Liuzhou before."

Those people are not really robbers, Tang Zhou has long expected this, if they are not cornered, who will be robbers?

Tang Zhou bowed his head and let Ma Qing continue.

"In the whole of Liuzhou, there is not enough education, and many large families have slaves, and these slaves are the goods of these people, and they can be bought and sold at will, or even killed."

There have been slaves since ancient times, and there are also slaves in the entire Tang Dynasty, but there are not many of them, but Tang Zhou did not expect that there would be a large number of slaves in this Liuzhou City.

The existence of slaves indicates the backwardness and ignorance here, and also shows that the people here have a cruel and even bloody side.

"The whole Liuzhou, indeed as Sima Kongzhu said, the people don't take the court law seriously at all, and it is the Liuzhou Mu family who is really enshrined as the law, if anyone disobeys the Liuzhou Mu family, they may be executed at will, and the first two assassins in Liuzhou died unclear, but I am afraid that it is related to the Liuzhou Mu family."

Ma Qing told Tang Zhou about the situation in Liuzhou, and after listening to it, Tang Zhou had a more intuitive understanding of the situation in Liuzhou, and after understanding, he bowed his head slightly and asked, "When will Luo Qiuyan arrive in Liuzhou?" ”

Since Tang Zhou decided to establish a secret organization of his own in Liuzhou, he sent a message to Luo Qiuyan, hoping that Luo Qiuyan could come to Liuzhou to help him, Luo Qiuyan was the leader of the secret organization before, she knew how to maintain a secret organization, and Luo Qiuyan had experience, plus some of Tang Zhou's ideas, he could establish an invincible organization in Liuzhou.

Luo Qiuyan's news has always been Ma Qing's responsibility.

"Back to the little marquis, Miss Luo will be here in a few days, but what should we do now, do we just keep waiting, and do nothing in the face of this situation?"

Tang Zhou took a sip of a cup of tea, and then smiled indifferently: "Of course you can't wait, things still have to be done, you and Li Hu will go out of the city with me tomorrow." ”
