Dong Zhong grabbed a piece of Huangshi paperweight, slapped it heavily on the bookcase, and sighed for a long time.

"Husband, what's the trouble?"

A plump middle-aged woman appeared at the door of the study, dressed in a verdant thin veil of smoke, and her hair was in a bun. Tall and broad-shouldered, quite heroic.

Dong Zhong hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly, and arched his hand:

"Hehe, Madame is here. How did you feel about practicing the 'Five Birds Biochemical Opera' for the past two days? ”

Mrs. Dong smiled:

"Husband, what kind of etiquette is the family. Not to mention, being sick is also beneficial. I used to want to lose weight, but I couldn't lose weight. Look, this inadvertently lost a circle. I followed the instructions of the believer and practiced the five birds biochemical drama for two days in the morning and evening. Although I didn't feel any qi, after sweating slightly, my body felt refreshed...... You don't go to the official office today, stay in the study with a sad face, but you encounter troubles that are difficult to solve? ”

Dong Zhong smiled bitterly:

"Yesterday, the camp in the south of the town sent a letter to the county guard, urging 10,000 quintals of grain and 30,000 catties of salt. This morning, Shi Jian was ready to come to the government office to discuss. When was this fang seriously discussed? Every time it was fierce, like a debt from Yama Rosso. It's just spring, and the green seedlings haven't grown yet, so how can I give him food? Therefore, he avoided illness and thought of good strategies. ”

Mrs. Dong groaned:

"10,000 loads of grain is not much. There are 15,000 people in the camp in the south of the town, and according to the calculation of two catties of rice per person per day, 300 quintals will be consumed in a day, and 10,000 quintals is only enough for a month's rations. ”

Dong Zhong snorted angrily:

"Where is he fifteen thousand? It's just empty pay. Last year, the dealer was caught reselling military rations, and the impact was bad, and Shi Jian only found out a lieutenant to beat the military stick...... Alas, since the imperial court started a war against the Fan people fifteen years ago, the order to strike the war has not been issued. Whether there is a war or not, it is always in a state of war. On the grounds of wartime emergency, the Zhennan Battalion bypassed the military headquarters and the household department to directly collect grain from Qiyun County, and then made up the formalities, which became a habit......

"As a result, our county is miserable. Although the grain collected can be deducted from the tax, and the excess part is repaid by the household department, which time has it been made up? Now that there are eight months left before the fall tax collection, where can I get money? Didn't Shi Jian be assassinated the day before yesterday, this is a good time, and he is in the middle of it. The Assassins had fled back to Yunshan, and he had not spared his orders to search the shops. If you don't give money, you won't leave, and even arrest people, and the yamen is not allowed to interfere. Hmph, full of ** one! ”

Mrs. Dong smiled slightly, asked the maid to bring the tea over, and served it to Dong Zhong with her own hands, while she sat down on the chair next to her with another lamp, and said:

"I think Shi Jian is a rabbit's tail, he can't grow it, why bother fighting with him for a while? It was just the beginning of spring to collect grain, and there has never been one. I'm afraid that the big battle with Fanren is imminent, and the husband needs to prepare in advance. ”

Dong Zhong took a sip of tea and said:

"This little thing that the Zhennan Army wants, Qiyun County can make up for it. However, the soldiers disturbed the people, but there were too many to mention, and the people were extremely angry. Every year, the wind of the ministry is reviewed, and my situation is getting worse. Shi Jian used the 'assassination' as an excuse to imply that if he was not given a sum of money, a curfew would be enforced, and Qiyun City would not be able to wither away...... Alas, forget it. Speaking of which, it's just a disease of scabies. There is another danger, I am afraid that I will provoke the fear of my life......"

Dong Zhong put down the teacup, looked towards the door, took out a stick of incense from the drawer and handed it to Mrs. Dong, and said in a low voice:

"This was found in the room of Xi Qianli."

Mrs. Dong turned the incense stick in her hand, and saw that the surface was covered with runes, and there was no fragrance when she smelled it, and her face changed, and she said:

"Husband, it seems to be a letter incense. After it was ignited, the Great Monk of the Holy Fetus Realm could sense it even if he was thousands of miles away. ”

"Yes...... I've looked through a lot of books to check it, and I guess it's the same. Xi Qianli is a down-and-out scholar, which great monk do you want to contact? Now that he's dead, if the other party doesn't get the news, sooner or later he will find us. ”

"Ah, didn't he die in a gust of wind with a fierce fighter, what does it have to do with us?"

"Madam, for inspection, the back of the neck was split by a palm in the stream and a gust of wind. They just wanted to die together in such a chic way, but they couldn't. I asked Min'er for details, and there were more and more loopholes. In the end, he didn't dare to ask, so he ordered the arrest room to destroy the records, and closed the case in a hurry, keeping his mouth shut. ”

"Why?"

"Because I suspect that they were all killed by the Believer."

After Mrs. Dong heard this, she was stunned. After a while, his face became resolute again, and he folded the incense into several knots and dipped it in the tea, and said:

"Husband, don't you hear that under the heavens and men, it is not an ant. It's a disaster that can't be avoided, but it's a blessing that you don't need to hide. ”

When Dong Zhong heard this, he shook his body and said:

"Mrs. has the wind of the forest, and the women don't let the eyebrows be shaved, and I can't do it."

Mrs. Dong didn't return the salute, put the cup on the coffee table, smiled slightly, and said:

"I'll tell you good news, Min'er has stepped into the Ning Gang Realm."

Dong Zhong was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said:

"Well, now it's a little more likely that she will enter the Xiaoshui Sword Sect to cultivate...... Haha, I've been worried, I'm afraid that the effect of the Realm Breaking Pill that I asked for a lot of money will not work. ”

Mrs. Dong shook her head and said:

"I didn't take the Realm Breaking Pill, it was the believer who instructed her to break through. He also said that although the Realm Breaking Pill is not very good, it also has the effect of stimulating the body. Dispersing the medicinal power and blending other medicinal materials can be made into health pills. Shumin, this girl, has filial piety, and after hearing this, she crushed the Realm Breaking Pill and asked the believer for help early in the morning. ”

Dong Zhong was silent for a long time and said:

"Isn't this going to trouble people again? Doctor Xue warned that it is best to offer the believer high and stay away. She was fine, and ran to the inn all day long. ”

Mrs. Dong Zhengse said:

"Husband, this is not a good word. Xue Renbing is the golden mean, the art of self-preservation. But in the face of life-saving benefactors, how can you not treat them with all your heart? Young people are interacting, what do you care about so much? Besides, the matter of Xiqianli will break out sooner or later, and the only person who can save the Dong Mansion is Xinshi. Even if Shu Mingui was the princess of Huaguo, the Xiaoshui Sword Sect would not help and confront a Holy Fetus Great Cultivator. What's more, after so many generations, we already have thin blood......"

As she spoke, Mrs. Dong stood up and waved her hand, full of heroism.

"Grandpa is the only younger brother of King Hua, and he was made a marquis. In his father's generation, he was demoted to an uncle. If I were a man, I would still be able to inherit the viscount. It's a pity that she is a woman, and she has no brother or brother. This branch of the Hua royal family has completely died out. The King of the Apocalypse is weak and has no heirs. It is equivalent to the lineage, which is also facing extinction. For the Xiaoshui Sword Sect, it was the right time to take away the royal power.

"Two hundred years ago, my Chinese people were prosperous. Although it is not a famous sect, it is also a big family of cultivation. An evil thing was dug up, and a large number of clansmen died, gradually falling into the mundane. The Xiaoshui Sword Sect took the opportunity to attack Baisha City and made Huaguo a dojo. Once the royal power of our clan falls, with the bearing of a monk Xiaoshui, he will not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if he wants to do this, he will do it that year. But the demon queen in Baisha City must definitely kill all the children of Hua's to rest assured.

"Xue Ren has only been back to his hometown for two days, and he suddenly rushed back, indicating that the king's condition has worsened. Husband, the mountain rain is coming. At this time, the birth of the believer is our great opportunity......"

A cautious voice came from outside the study.

"Madam, sir, Miss sent a slave to send a letter back."

Mrs. Dong said:

"Come in."

Dong Shumin's personal maid Xiaoxiang walked in lightly, and after seeing the salute, she presented a folded note to Dong Junshou.

Mrs. Dong asked:

"What is Miss doing?"

Xiaoxiang replied:

"Mrs. Bing, Miss and Xin Gongzi went to find a pharmacy together and make pills."

After Xiaoxiang left, Dong Zhong handed the piece of paper to Mrs. Dong, frowned and said:

"The believer asked me to invite Shi Jian to dinner, and let him enter the inner courtyard alone. After this fang was assassinated, they all became frightened birds, how could they leave behind the guards? ”

Mrs. Dong took the letter and looked at it, and said with a smile:

"What the believer tells you to do, you do it, why do you think too much?"

When night fell, Dong's mansion was lit up.

Outside the Moon Gate in the inner courtyard, Shi Jian, the general of Zhennan, was dressed in civilian clothes and said sharply:

"Dong Junshou, what do you mean? Horses are not allowed to enter the house, and foot soldiers are not allowed to enter the house, so to speak. Now that he wants to isolate his relatives and guards, do you want to murder Shi? ”

As the supreme leader of Qiyun County, the army, the government and the two have always been at odds. Although this is a joke, it also exudes a naked threat.

Zheng ......

Twenty sergeants neatly drew their waist swords.

The housekeeper of the Dong Mansion broke out in a cold sweat and trembled, while Dong Zhong smiled and said:

"You and I are discussing confidential matters, how can anyone else come near. General Shi is the number one master in Qiyun County, is he still worried about Dong Moujie's powerless scholar? ”

Shi Jian snorted coldly, his face suspicious.

Suddenly, his body trembled, and he ordered, "Everyone leave the house." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for his master, and hurriedly strode forward, as if he knew the way.

Dong Zhong was inexplicable, and hurriedly asked the butler to send out wine and meat to entertain the sergeant, and he quickly followed.

The inner courtyard was empty and empty.

According to Xintianyou's instructions, after serving the food, all the servants left.

Dong Zhong rushed to the door of the banquet hall, stumbled, and almost tripped over the threshold.

Tong......

It was as if something had slammed into the floor, and a sonorous sound came from within.

"The last general, Shi Jian, meet the real person."
