Chapter 898: Friends

Pinggu County

Lou Xian Ling has a habit of getting up very early every day, and then opening the secret room and entering his vault to take a look at the gold, silver and jewelry in that room. When Da Sui was still strong, he was already a county magistrate in Pinggu County, and later the world was in turmoil, and he was still very stable in this son, not because he had any great backers, but because he was smart enough.

Some officials are greedy for money, and when they are greedy, they are reluctant to spit it out.

But he never did this, although he would feel distressed when he took out the silver, but he knew very well that if he was reluctant to take out the silver at a critical time, he was afraid that he would lose more. His secret room was built in the bedroom, and when the door of the wardrobe was opened, there was a baffle, and when the baffle was pushed open, there was a stone room inside.

In this house is the wealth he has accumulated for so many years as an official, to be honest, if he decides to resign now, find a place to live, this money will not be spent in a few lifetimes.

Lou County Order also has a habit, that is, when giving gifts, real money will never be given, but silver tickets. In his opinion, such a thing as a silver ticket is far less real than holding real money in his hand, but someone can not give a gift to a silver ticket. After the collapse of the Great Sui Dynasty, the money banks in various places were more or less affected, and many silver tickets could no longer be exchanged.

Every morning, he would come to the house for a walk without freshening up.

To tell the truth, he probably knew by heart where each silver ingot was placed.

The silver ticket he sent out yesterday was the exchange silver ticket of the Jinjun Money Village built in the southwest by the goods pass world, so there is not much difference from sending out the real money and silver. No matter how chaotic the world is, the strength of the goods in the world is still there. Moreover, the current Jinjun Money Village has the official background of the Black Flag Army, so there is no need to worry about not being able to withdraw the silver if it is deposited.

"Three thousand taels"

Lou Xian Ling sighed, thinking that his useless brother-in-law had offended the people of the Xiao Riding School at the city gate, he was a little worried. In fact, he doesn't have much backing, since the chaos of the Great Sui, where is there any stable and unchanging mountain to rely on?

Take those once prominent big people in the imperial court, Pei Yan? Even Luo Yao used to rely on him to inquire about the news of the imperial court, but as soon as Emperor Tianyou came back, the first thing he did was to cut off Pei Yan's head. As for the so-called big names in the court now, they are not worth mentioning at all. In Lou County's opinion, although those big people wore red and purple high-ranking official brocade robes, they were really not as comfortable as him living from the Qipin County Order.

His brother-in-law is an idiot, impulsive and reckless, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get on the stage, he wouldn't have let his brother-in-law guard the city gate.

But he didn't dare not arrange something for his brother-in-law to do, and it was also a very annoying thing to have a fierce wife at home.

He picked up a soft towel, opened a box, took out a gold ingot from it and wiped it slowly and carefully, every day, in fact, there was any dust.

"Your Excellency!"

Suddenly there was a shout outside: "Oh no! Feng Yi was beaten at the city gate! ”

Lou Xianling's face changed when he heard this, and a burst of anger suddenly rose in his heart. Although his brother-in-law Feng Yizheng is not successful, who dares to bully him on this one-third of an acre of land in Pinggu County? bullied Feng Yizheng, his wife would be furious and not say anything, which was also completely indifferent to his county order.

Lou County ordered the gold ingots to be put back in their original place, meticulously.

Then he went out, changed into official uniforms, and hurriedly walked to the city gate with a few officials. I just got out of the gate and didn't go any further, when I saw a chaotic street.

When he saw the situation on the other side, Feng Yizheng's face changed suddenly, and his two legs instantly lost his strength, if it wasn't for one of his subordinates who reacted quickly to support him, he would have been sitting on the ground with his butt.

A team of Xiao Riding School wearing dark blue brocade clothes and big red cloaks came from the street, and the leader of the Xiao Riding School Hundred Households War Horse pulled a stumbling person, who was not his brother-in-law Feng Yizheng. It seems that his brother-in-law was dragged all the way by someone with his hands tied and dragged all the way with a rope, even if he is not dead, he is afraid that he has already lost half his life.

"Your Excellency...... That's it. ”

A servant who had never seen a person from the Xiao Riding School had not yet understood the seriousness of the matter: "Early this morning, these people rode to the door and asked who was the chief on duty yesterday, Feng Yizheng stood up and asked what was the matter, but the person who asked him split his head and covered his face with a leather whip and whipped it down, and beat Feng Yizheng and howled wolf." This is not the end, those people got off the horse, punched and kicked, and Feng Yizheng was no longer human......"

The official said with trepidation: "So my subordinates hurriedly ran over to report to you." ”

The 100 households of the Xiao Riding School led by saw a person wearing a green official uniform from the seventh grade, his face was cold, and he jumped off the horse after strangling the war horse, and dozens of Xiao Riding School behind him dismounted and strode towards this side.

"You're a prefectural magistrate?"

The hundred households asked.

Lou Xian Ling replied with a haunting voice: "Exactly...... What are you going to do? ”

Xiao Riding School Baihu raised his hand: "Take it, first slap fifty." ”

Four wolf-like riding schools pounced, frightened the servants under Lou County Order, hurriedly retreated, two Xiao Riding School set up Lou County Order's arm, and the other stabilized Lou County Order's head from behind, and the fourth Xiao Riding School took out a thick mahogany board from the deerskin bag on the waist, crackling and began to slap Lou County Order's face, within ten strokes, Lou County Order's face was blurred by the flesh and blood of the fan.

"On the orders of Grandpa Guo!"

The hundred households of the Xiao Riding School said loudly: "Take the whole family of Lou County to Vermilion Mountain for trial!" ”

……

……

Xiang Qingniu kept looking at Fang Jie's face all the way, and he didn't know if Fang Xie would be very angry because of this trivial matter.

"What's wrong?"

Xiang Qingniu asked Fang Jie: "Is it involved some very important people in the Zhuque Mountain camp?" ”

"Nope"

Fang Xie shook his head: "I said that there are a few big fish in the Vermilion Bird Mountain, not because of the high status of those people, but because the position where they sit is very important. The officials in charge of sampling local officials, the officials in charge of evaluating political performance, these people, if it weren't for something, even I don't think about it often. But it is precisely because of this that these people will gradually become rampant. The matter of Pinggu County is by no means an exception, these people dare to accept the silver of the Lou County Order in Pinggu County, and they also dare to accept the silver of other people. ”

"It's actually easy to look into this."

Xiang Qingniu said: "Now the largest money bank in the southwest is opened by you in the name of Sanjin Hou in the name of the goods through the world, and those small money banks are not insured at all, so few people dare to go." As long as you check the account books of the world, it is clear how many people have money that is not coming from the right way. Even if they use someone else's name, the surviving people will leave their names and addresses, and none of them will be left behind. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "I'll do it after I go back." ”

"Don't think about it so much, you're going to be a father now."

Xiang Qingniu persuaded: "After I go back, I will leave this matter to Chen Xiaoru, and you can concentrate on taking care of Sang Sasa." ”

Fang Xie was a little distracted and said: "This is still a period of contention, and such signs have begun to appear. I can now understand that this kind of thing will become more and more intense in all dynasties. When fighting for the world, most people are focused on fighting. And when ruling the world, most people's minds are no longer on governance. ”

"You're not a god."

Xiang Qingniu found that Fang Jie's thinking seemed to be a bit extreme, which was not a good thing. Sometimes people's minds are like cultivation, and once they get into a dead end that they can't get out of, some people will go crazy to the extreme. The smarter the person, the more this happens.

On the rivers and lakes, those who go crazy are nine times out of ten talented. Stupid people, that rarely happens.

If Fang Jie's mind got into that dead end, no matter where he thought about it, he couldn't get an answer, Xiang Qingniu was worried that something extreme would happen. Walking on the rivers and lakes all these years, Xiang Qingniu has not seen someone who has driven him crazy.

"Even if you are a god, you can't influence people's thoughts."

Xiang Qingniu said.

Fang Jie's eyes were a little confused, as if he was muttering to himself: "Why can't you find a cure for this kind of thing?" What can be done to restrain people's greed? High salary? Is it cheap? Or is it more greed? Re-canon? If you are greedy for a penny, you want to kill? Then you can't kill it even after you kill it to the fullest. ”

"Fang Juexiao!"

Xiang Qingniu suddenly shouted violently, startling Fang Jie.

"Hey!"

Xiang Qingniu smiled at him: "Didn't you say that Sang Sassa named the child Fang Ning?" I thought about it, and that's a good name. It can be used by both boys and girls, and it has a good meaning! ”

Fang Xie suddenly came to his senses, and only then did he realize that he had just entered a very dangerous place. He is too smart, his mind is too heavy, the bottle of thought just now has been opened, and he has already drilled into half of it, if he can't take it back in time, no one knows what the consequences of Lu Dao will be.

Fang Xie had encountered countless dangers, but this was the first time he had encountered such dangers.

This is not to face the danger brought to him by external enemies, but to bring himself to a desperate situation.

"Do your best."

Xiang Qingniu saw that Fang Jie's face recovered, and said with a smile: "I remember when I was studying art in the mountains, the most common thing that Master said was to be worthy of one's heart. In the face of some injustice, if you don't do anything, then you are a coward and a walking dead. But if you are annoyed, ashamed, or even desperate because you can't make the world peaceful on your own, although the starting point is good, you are still a fool. ”

"Thank you"

Fang Xie said these two words heavily, and then laughed as well: "Xie Lu, thank you for pulling me back from when I walked down the stupid-forced road." ”

Xiang Qingniu laughed and trembled: "I'm for myself, if my best friend becomes a fool." And I don't want to lose this friend, so I can only turn myself into a fool, right? You see, how bad this matter is, if the Black Flag Military Town Guogong is stupid, Daozun will also be stupid...... I can't tolerate it. ”

Fang Xie smiled first, and suddenly his face changed from a little sad, and he looked at Xiang Qingniu and said, "I suddenly thought of the two brothers Chen Hum and Chen Ha." ”

Xiang Qingniu also fell silent: "Those are two...... Pal. It doesn't matter if they were good or bad people before, but they are friends enough. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "It's good that my friends are still alive." ”

Xiang Qingniu snorted: "My friends are still alive." ”
