Chapter 278: Shen Wansheng Comes at Night
"Master, you said that there are still people targeting the Dao of Fortune, so does the court know the secret of building the dragon vein of the Dao of Fortune?"
"The leader of the guards around King Yan appears here, could it be that King Yan is targeting the Dao of Fortune?"
Thinking of the situation where Leng Lack appeared here, Old Man Xu only had such a guess.
Uncle Lu waved his hand and said, "This is not clear." ”
"However, the dragon vein should have been disabled this time. The back hand of the Doom Dao is ruined, which is a great blow to the Doom Dao. ”
"For a long time, it is estimated that the Raid Road will not show its head again."
"So, just rest assured!"
As soon as Uncle Lu finished speaking, Old Man Xu smiled and said, "The disciple has always been at ease. ”
Although the Dao of Calamity is very magical, Old Man Xu does not think that this Dao of Calamity is invincible.
Maybe the means of the robbery path are indeed unpredictable, but no matter what the means, they are all under control. So, as long as you find the right person, then, no matter what you do, it will only be a matter of one shot in the end.
Old Man Xu doesn't think that dead people can continue to do things.
……
When he came back from Uncle Lu's side, Old Man Xu told his son about the matter, and the purpose was one, that is, when he met those Taoist priests in the future, he must be more careful.
The Taoist priests of the Dao of Fortune will not tell others that they are from the Dao of Fortune, so Old Man Xu can only ask his three sons to be careful of all the Taoist priests.
"When necessary, when it's time to kill someone, don't hesitate!"
Old Man Xu didn't want his son to become a murderous person, but the Taoist priests of the Fortune Dao were too weird. Robbing other people's luck, this is a legendary method.
"Dad, is it really so mysterious?"
As a scholar, Xu Laosan really couldn't imagine this kind of thing, which was completely contrary to the sage classics he had studied.
"Third child, do you still need to ask?"
Boss Xu glanced at Xu Laosan, "If the Dao of Fortune doesn't have any real skills, how can it be regarded as the authentic state religion that protects the country in the previous dynasty?" ”
"Also, the last time you were in Fucheng, if it wasn't for the second uncle protecting you, do you think you could settle down?"
Boss Xu glared at Xu Laosan sharply, "The three of us brothers, the second brother and I are basically in the village, and occasionally go to the town, it's you, you have to go to the county, in two months, you have to take the township test, and you have to go to Fucheng." So, you're going to have to practice for the next while! ”
Xu Laosan's eyes widened instantly, why is it him again?
However, forget it, practice is practice, idle is idle anyway!
……
Fu Bao woke up and woke up laughing.
She had a sweet dream, uh, or rather, a very funny dream.
She actually dreamed that her third brother was robbed and asked to worship with a woman who was the width of two of her third brother.
Wait, this shouldn't be a dream!
Fu Bao woke up, his expression a little funny.
Mrs. Xu came over when she heard Fu Bao laughing, and when she got closer, she couldn't help but be a little happy when she saw the small expression on Fu Bao's face, what kind of expression is this girl?
Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand and gently touched Fu Bao, who had a strange expression, and Fu Bao instantly came back to his senses and looked sideways.
"Mother!"
"Is Xiao Fubao hungry?"
"Do you want to eat?"
"Eat!"
Fu Bao responded decisively.
Although she woke up laughing in a dream, she was also really hungry.
Now she no longer feeds, but eats.
She had no choice before, so she could only breastfeed. But now that she has a choice, she naturally wants to eat.
It's a delicious meal, but it's much better than milk.
It's just a pity that her current food can only be some light rice porridge, broth, egg custard or something. However, this also makes Fu Bao very satisfied.
She didn't know how old a normal child would be weaned, and she was weaned at six months anyway. As for whether there will be a lack of nutrients? She didn't have a place to test it.
But judging from all aspects of the body, Fubao feels that he is still well nourished.
Meizizi ate a big bowl of vegetable porridge and a small bowl of egg custard, and Fu Bao was satisfied.
It's been a comfortable day.
Oh, by the way, her dreams have nothing to do with what she sees during the day. In other words, the dream is an omen, but what does it represent?
Fu Bao really wanted to communicate with her mother, but if she spoke fluently, she was afraid that she would not frighten her mother.
In the end, Fu Bao could only pray for his third brother, praying that he would not be arrested.
That's right, as long as the third brother learns kung fu hard, when the time comes, he won't be arrested and go to the church, and this matter will be solved.
Poor Xu Laosan, who was already stared at by his eldest brother and second brother carrying wood and stones, shivered coldly, as if some malicious eyes were aimed at him.
However, looking back, there is nothing.
"Third child, what are you doing?"
"Can't you move?"
"With your little strength, what can you do?"
Xu Lao Er opened his mouth and sprayed his brother mercilessly.
Xu Laosan rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother, I seriously suspect that you two are just too lazy to work, so you asked me to move these things!" ”
"What do you say?"
Boss Xu snorted, "These things, if I move them with the second child, they will be finished soon, and you won't have much strength to do more work." Will this work? ”
"I've heard that the examination time of the township examination is much longer than that of the government examination, don't you be unable to hold on when the time comes, people will collapse first."
Get!
Hearing his eldest brother say this, Xu Laosan no longer has any reason not to work. Even if his suspicion is the truth, he can only work hard.
"Where are you two uncles?"
Old Man Xu walked over at this time, and directly yelled at Boss Xu and Boss Xu.
"Hurry up, dig the foundation for me!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The leisurely of Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er ended here, and they could only sadly do the work that was more difficult than Xu Lao San.
The new house of the old Xu family has entered the planning period after the drought is over.
According to Mr. Xu's plan, the construction of the new house will start after the dragon boat race. He also had to make it clear to the villagers, and the wages and other things were all negotiated.
After experiencing such a great drought, for the people of Lingshui Village, Mr. Xu's salary at this time is also comparable to timely rain.
After all, the two hundred catties of millet in the imperial court can only ensure that they will not starve to death, and if they want their family to live a little better, they still have to earn more.
……
When Big Brother Xu was busy working in the field, a mysterious guest sneaked up outside the door of Old Xu's house.
Shen Wansheng!
"Second brother, why are you here at this time?"
It's all dark.
Although there is a moon in the sky, it is still not a safe thing to travel overnight.
"Big brother, didn't I just come to Anshun County for business?"
Shen Wansheng smiled, "It's the matter of someone from the Xu Mansion, after the eighteen iron horsemen of the Xu Mansion were wiped out by you, I will solve everything with Xu Yuanzhu and the steward of the Xu Mansion with him." ”
"Second brother, you ,...... What do you want me to say, brother? ”
"Big brother, don't think about it too much, I killed Xu Yuanjun not only for the sake of your business, big brother, but mainly because that little Wang Ba Niu actually wants to marry my brother and my little niece."
"I estimate that those old things in the clan will definitely want to cling to the Xu Mansion. If there is no change in this family business, it is basically done. ”
"So, I just didn't do anything and completely solved that kid."
"I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die, whether it's the court or the Xu Mansion, don't want to rely on me for this."
"Don't you know, how arrogant the steward of the Xu Mansion is, what do you say about the Xu Mansion, why do you need evidence?"
"So, I want to see if the Xu Mansion can help me as the prefect of the First Mansion without evidence!"
"Second brother, no matter what you say, the eldest brother owes you a favor!"
Old Man Xu is really sincerely grateful for what Shen Wansheng has done.
"Big brother, look at what you said, our brothers are righteous and married to Jinlan."
"Besides, it's okay with us now. Xu Yuanzi, who was later sent by the Xu Mansion, was shot and killed by a group of sub-marksmen on the official road outside Linyu City, even with his guards. ”
"I don't know who has such a big deal!"
"According to the observation of Chen Zheng, the capital of the Inspectorate, there were six sharpshooters at the scene."
"Six!"
"It's really a big deal!"
When Shen Wansheng talked about this, he was really admired.
Old Man Xu smiled and said, "Who knows about this kind of thing?" Xu Fu has offended a lot of people over the years, God knows whose handwriting? ”
"That's right!"
Shen Wansheng nodded, "Sometimes, I'm really confused. This old lady in the Xu Mansion doesn't know what she thinks, and she offends people everywhere. ”
"It is said that this girl who marries out of the house spills the water out of the door."
"If the woman who went out was bullied, it would be understandable for her mother's family to come forward to defend one or two. But this old lady insisted on letting her daughter from Xu's mansion fight for her head on her in-laws' side, and she offended I don't know how many people. ”
"Who knows?"
Regarding his grandmother's behavior, Mr. Xu didn't understand it for years anyway. Later, he didn't want to think about it.
Originally, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Xu Mansion anymore.
The matter of the tribute is also a coincidence.
But the most amazing place is here, such a small thing, why his name appeared in front of his father who has disappeared for many years.
Many times, Old Man Xu felt that there might be a pair of invisible hands manipulating everything in secret, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't find anything wrong.
"Big brother, by the way, I came to you for something."
"It's the carriage we talked about last time. Big brother, you said, if you take this opportunity to renovate all the roads in Xiangyi Mansion, it can be regarded as an alternative kind of work-for-relief, how about it? ”
"That's good!"
Although the imperial court already had 200 catties of millet for relief, it only ensured that the people of Xiangyi Mansion would not starve to death. If you want to live a little better, you have to find another way to earn money.
The drought is no worse than any other calamity, and when the drought comes, there is much less game in the mountains. As for the catch in the river, that's even less to think about.
When the rivers are dry and bottoming out, where will the fish come from?
In Xiangyi Mansion, is there a big river that has dried up, but how can the fish in the big river be so easy to catch?
"Big brother also thinks this is feasible?"
Shen Wansheng sighed, "It's just that if you want to do this, you still have a little money." ”
"Big brother, do you have any good ideas?"
"What good ideas can I have?"
Old Man Xu looked at Shen Wansheng in confusion, he might have some way to do other things. But this matter involving silver, he really has no tricks.
He himself didn't think of any good way to make money, how could he help Shen Wansheng?
Shen Wansheng sighed and whispered, "Big brother, you say, what if I sell the right to operate these carriages?" ”
"Sell?"
Old Man Xu was only slightly stunned, and then he understood what Shen Wansheng meant.
This method is a bit like eating grain.
However, this is not a bad idea, and it should be a good one.
"If you want to sell the carriage, then, second brother, what you want to sell is no longer the carriage, but the road!"
"In a certain route, only the family who has bought the right to operate can run a carriage to carry passengers and goods, and other carriages will not be able to engage in this carriage business for the purpose of making money."
"In short, this method is still feasible, but you have to think about the specific regulations, and you can't let people take advantage of the loopholes."
"If this method is not careful, it may harm others and oneself."
Old Man Xu couldn't say what the situation was, but he felt that it was not simple.
This method, if operated well, can be promoted throughout the world. But if the operation is not good, Shen Wansheng's career will come to an end from here.
"I also understand that there is a risk in this matter!"
Shen Wansheng smiled bitterly, "But, big brother, as long as I think of the kind of effect that this thing can achieve in the end, I am very excited." You know how it feels? ”
"It's just that I can't calm down and think about this matter at all."
"I always tell myself, I have to be quiet when there is a big event."
"But then I realized that when I really encountered a big event, my heart couldn't calm down at all."
"I told the fourth child about this, and as a result, he was more excited than me. Then, the two of us discussed, and felt that we still had to come to discuss with the eldest brother, after all, the carriage was the first thing you thought of, eldest brother! ”
Old Man Xu listened to Shen Wansheng's words, and he didn't know what to say.
But he also understood that if Shen Wansheng was not really helpless, he would not have come to him to discuss this matter.
The purpose of this method is to provide disaster relief.
However, in practice, the specific charter is the most critical. Because of one carelessness, this policy measure, which is intended to benefit the people's health, may cost the people and money.
"Second brother, how many days can you stay in Anshun County?"
Old Man Xu took a deep breath and said slowly, "I also have to think about this matter carefully." If you can stay a few more days, then give me a few days, and I'll think it through and think it all through, and then I'll discuss it with you! ”
"I'll stay in Anshun County for a long time!"
"The people of the court want to thoroughly investigate the identity of the group of horse thieves who attacked your house, but the body of the horse thieves has been burned, and only the clothes, murder weapons and horses remain."
"If you want to find out the identity of those people with these things, I'm afraid you have to be busy!"
As soon as Shen Wansheng said this, Old Man Xu also understood one thing.
The people in the court are afraid that they will have to work in vain.
The body was sent to Yizhuang, but the body was burned, but the clothes, murder weapons and horses were left, what does this mean? It shows that Zuoqiu is not worried that others will find something out of these things.
Otherwise, these things would not have been left behind.
"The second brother Lao went back to talk to the fourth brother, and said that he was tired!"
Old Man Xu must admit this.
After all, slaughtering a team of eighteen iron horsemen in the Xu Mansion was not a small battle.
Now he is burdened with an unpopular title of seven-grade filial piety, but he can also be regarded as a nobleman. Once there is a war in the imperial court, he may be directly recruited by the military department.
The nobles of the Tang Dynasty have enjoyed the country's privileges and preferential treatment, so when the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, they must bear this burden.
However, Old Man Xu didn't show any ability before, he was more like an old farmer who farmed, but he was lucky and got this title, so he couldn't find anything in him.
And one person completely annihilates a team of eighteen iron horsemen, even if this team of eighteen iron horsemen is less experienced, it is not something that ordinary people can do.
As for Old Man Xu, he pressed this on the chivalrous man incarnated by Zuoqiu?
This thing is just a layman who doesn't understand anything, and when he meets someone who knows what, Old Man Xu's clumsy lie will be exposed in an instant.
"Big brother, let's do this, unless you don't show your skills in this life. Otherwise, sooner or later it will be exposed! ”
"We'll talk about it later!"
Old Man Xu didn't mind fighting for Datang, but this had to be when he was willing.
At least for now, he didn't want to be a loyal general.
His biggest thought now is to watch his precious girl grow up quickly, and everything else is secondary.
Shen Wansheng came quietly and bleated quietly.
It's just that what he thought was quietly bleating was only hidden from ordinary people, but not from real masters.
Not long after Shen Wansheng left, Uncle Lu came out.
"That kid is kind of funny!"
Uncle Lu really thought Shen Wansheng was a little interesting.
The person who killed the Xu Mansion actually dared to tell Old Man Xu that this bearing alone was different from ordinary people. If you are an ordinary person and do such a thing, I am afraid that you will even hide it from your daughter-in-law and father.
"Master, did you hear it all?"
"Do you think that the name of the acquired master of the teacher is blown out?"
Uncle Lu glanced at Old Man Xu, "As for the question you want to ask, don't ask, my old man doesn't have the spirit to think about these twists and turns!" ”
When Old Man Xu heard this, he smiled, and said in his heart, if you can't think of it, you can't think of it, I won't laugh at you!
Of course, he can only think about this kind of thing in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it, after all, his master is really powerful!
