Three years ago, when Wei Guo paid tribute to the Jin Kingdom, he privately prepared a big gift for Dazai Zhiyao, including this quiet woman. Qiu Youziwan, seventeen years old, gentle and lovely, is the kind of woman who is beautiful but not flattering. After she entered the Dazaifu, Zhiyao ordered her to manage the slaves and maids in the house. The work on weekdays is very easy, and in my spare time, I play the piano and play music quite freely. Zhiyao appreciates women's talents very much, and often listens to her play the piano. The master and servant got along plainly for three years, but they respected each other like guests and did not commit any crimes. The woman is also in awe of the head of the family. Tonight, Zhi Yao ordered her to come here quietly, just to take care of Yu Rang's future life.

The woman heard early on that the head of the family had a reputation for cherishing talents. I want to be polite to slaves and maids, not to mention the people who the head of the family cares about everything. I guess that Yu Rang is a very great guy. Qiu Youziwan was already in the blue heart, and after learning about Yu Rang's residence, he had insight into Zhiyao's thoughts. Therefore, she chose to come alone late at night, without any servants or guards.

Qiu Youziwan had never taken care of anyone, so she hurried over after taking some medicine and bandages. After entering the house, the woman took out the wound medicine, took off her robe for Yu Rang, and prepared to start bandaging the wound. It can be seen that the flesh and blood on the man's naked back are blurred, and the open flesh is even more shocking. Qiu Youzi snorted and fainted.

Since it was someone sent by Dazai, Yu Rang didn't care too much, he thought that the other party must have some medical skills, so he didn't shy away from men and women, took off his robe, and bare his back. I didn't want this woman to be so unreliable, but she fainted in fright just by looking at the wound. Yu Rang was angry and funny. He endured the pain and pinched the woman, and slapped the other party on the face a few times, but there was no reaction.

Unfortunately, there was only one bed in the house. Yu Rang helplessly picked up the woman and laid her flat on the bed. He lay on the wooden table and spent the night. Since he couldn't see the wound on his back, he couldn't apply the medicine. So much so that after waking up for the second time, the robe and the scar had been glued together, and the wound was affected by a slight movement. Yu Rang was miserable.

When Qiu Youziwan woke up, she saw herself lying on the bed, and her face immediately lost color. She touched the placket of her chest, and her face softened slightly. Then, her eyes wandered, and when she saw the quilt hanging on the wooden table, the woman lowered her head in embarrassment.

The person that the head of the family likes is really a decent gentleman. Qiu Youziwan thought like this, and hurriedly got up to clean up the mattress. At this moment, Yu Rang pushed the door and entered. In a panic, the woman hugged the quilt on the wooden table, jumped on the bed and wrapped herself like a dumpling. Seeing this, Yu Rang shook his head and said coldly:

"Awake? Come and eat. ”

The woman lifted the corner of the quilt and secretly looked at the other party.

Yu Rang was holding a wooden spoon and was sending rice porridge to Kouzheng to eat, which was very Sven. The woman was very puzzled, how could such a person fight with others and be cut like that?

"Enough of it, right? If my guess is correct, you're here to take care of me. But why do I, the wounded man, prepare food for you? ”

Qiu Youziwan saw that the other party had no malicious intent, and hurriedly got off the couch, clutching the corners of his clothes with his hands, looking very cowardly. She muttered:

"I'm sorry! It's all... The slave's fault. ”

"Stop talking nonsense. Come and eat. ”

The woman came and stopped, step by step. Yu Rang looked at the other party's twisted appearance and pursed his lips.

"Am I like a bad guy?"

"The servant is rude. I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Cease! You have to bow down. Yu Rang's body was short, and his wrist was pushed. The straw mat next to the table slid down to the woman's knees.

"Alright! I'm not dead yet, so you don't have to worship me. ”

Perhaps every girl's heart has longed for a handsome and chic, civil and military husband. And the mysterious identity of the killer can make girls fall in love and fascinated. Qiu Youziwan is no exception. Seeing Yu Rang's skills, she was a little embarrassed for a while.

After breakfast, the woman plucked up her courage and asked for Yu Rang to be bandaged again to make up for last night's gaffe. This time, Qiu Youziwan was mentally prepared. However, Yu Rang prevaricated in every possible way, and ridiculed:

"Huh. Forget it. If you faint again, I'm afraid you'll have to take care of the afternoon meal for you. If the girl is fine, please go back. ”

"Why are you like this? People are also well-intentioned. If you drive me away, the master of the house will punish me when he finds out. ”

With tears in his eyes, he was teary-eyed.

"Alright! Take the wound medicine. ”

The woman took the medicine for the wound, and Yu Rang did not wait for her to do it, so she untied her clothes. The scar on his back had been glued to his robe, and it hurt him to break out in a cold sweat. The pink flesh around the wound immediately oozed blood. Unsurprisingly, after Qiu Youziwan saw this, she covered her mouth and ran out of the door, and then the woman's vomiting sound was heard.

Yu Rang ripped off the skin and flesh in front of the woman, but he didn't snort. And this unreliable woman actually ran away like this. If he didn't apply the medicine again this time, wouldn't he have to abuse himself again soon? Yu Rang seemed to have lost patience with this woman and was still a little broken.

"You'd better go back. I'll be nice to you, Dazai-sama, but I don't like to be disturbed. ”

Unexpectedly, I heard this. The woman silently walked into the house. resolutely decided to take medicine for Yu. Yu Rang could feel the woman's trembling hands and the sound of water droplets falling to the ground slightly.

Why bother? He didn't understand, since he was so scared, he had to give up. I didn't mean to force the other party. Yu Rang was silent, quietly waiting for the woman to bandage her clumsily.

Soon after, Zhiyao dressed in civilian clothes and came to visit with two guards. Seeing Qiu Youziwan's red and swollen eyes, he then spoke a few times.

"Ziwan! Why is it like this? ”

"Please, Lord, chastise. The slave maid tried to let Mr. take medicine last night, and when she saw that the wound was terrible, she fainted, which caused Mr. to suffer. Slaves deserve to die. Please punish the slave and the slave severely. ”

The woman wiped her tears on the one hand, and she was very pitiful. Zhi Yao looked at Yu Rang in shame, and the two looked at each other, and immediately laughed. After a moment, he retracted his smile.

"It's not your fault. It's me who knows people wrong. If Ziwan doesn't want to take care of Yu Rang, I'll send someone to replace you. It doesn't matter! You are a woman, I really wronged you. ”

"The slave and the maid will not leave. It is the fault of the slave and the maid that the master treats the slave and the maid well. Please let the slave and maid stay, and the son will not fail in his mission. ”

Qiu Youziwan didn't want to disappoint Zhiyao. And Zhiyao did not refuse the woman's insistence. He waved his hand and motioned for the woman to stand down. Subsequently, he stood in the courtyard with Yu Rang and chatted about his ideals.

"Now that the office is decaying, everyone in Qingshiliao has their own ghosts and seeks their own personal gains. In troubled times, the extraordinary law should be practiced. Let brother! Do you understand Yao? ”

Qing Shiliao, equivalent to the cabinet.

"Yu Rang has followed Gou Jian since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to seeing the dirty things in the temple. Thanks to Dazai Yao for treating him as a national soldier. Let it be reciprocated by the country's soldiers. ”

Zhi Yao excitedly shook Yu Rang's hand.

"Let! I will not be compromised. You and I will go down in history. ”

He laid out his plans and plans. The big bottom is to hope that Yu Rang can go undercover in the Bank of China.

In today's court, although Zhiyao is a Dazai, the remaining five Qings in the Qing Shiliao, any two of them can compete with him. Zhi Yao prepared to unite the Han, Zhao, and Wei families to annex the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan. Then let his henchmen fill the positions of the two secretaries. In this way, among the six secretaries, the Zhi family can control the overall situation of the Jin Kingdom by occupying three seats.

From the other party's words, Yu Rang could see Zhiyao's ambition.

"Isn't Dazai trying to monopolize the government and replace the Marquis of Jin?"

"Definitely! Yao is willing to follow the example of Duke Zhou and return to the government and the office. ”

Zhi Yao's next step is to weaken the strength of Han, Zhao, and Wei. It is then forced to return the land and population of the office. In this way, the Jin Kingdom can form a truly unified situation. In the near future, if you go south to conquer Chu and conquer Yue and establish an immortal cause, you will be able to reproduce the prosperous era of King Wu. And the name of Zhiyao can also go down in history forever.

Yu Rang was infected by Zhi Yao's words. He put his hands together and knelt down on his knees, and paid homage as a courtesy. On the one hand, Yu Rang was amazed by the grand ambition in Zhiyao's heart, and on the other hand, he was moved by the fact that the other party remembered the destruction of the Yue Kingdom in his heart. If you can meet such a person, he deserves to follow and swear allegiance. Unexpectedly, Zhiyao also replied with a big gift. obviously doesn't care about the gap between each other's identities, but introduces Yu Rang as a confidant.

Perhaps only in troubled times can such a mellow and sincere friendship be born. Thousands of people from all over the world have gone forward and sacrificed their lives for the sake of their homes and dreams. Whether it is in the strong Jin State or the weak Patriotic State, there is no shortage of patriots.

In later generations, many people have said that if there were no three Jin families, maybe the Jin Kingdom would be unified and change the direction of history. However, on this earth, where the moon is called the star of Tai, whether the direction of history will change, perhaps only the Earth Emperor Nuwa truly knows.

Just when Yu Rang decided to go undercover in the Zhongxing clan and stepped into the inner city of the royal capital. At the gate of Yunmeng's city, a group of leaders of the Sikou Mansion drove three carriages through the urn city and into the inner city. When the people of the city saw that the carriage was carrying three pieces of white linen cloth, they began to talk about it.

The carriage came to a halt outside the Cousin Baisi's Mansion. A chief knocked on the door.

"On the orders of the Si Kou Mansion, the body of Guiye's subordinates was returned, and he asked to see Lord Bo."

As soon as the ministers of Baisi's Mansion were in the house, the voices were boiling. Yunmeng suddenly exploded. Subsequently, the head of the Sikou Mansion checked the family members who came to collect the corpse. After they made the record, they immediately returned to the court.

There are dead people in the city. Although the deceased was a cousin of the Baisi Mansion, such a civil matter would naturally be reported to the Yezai Mansion. When Wang Xu learned about it, he was first shocked, and then confused. It's too bizarre and too coincidental. Wei Chang and his party were all killed on the way, and Ah Ji's case was closed. If this matter has nothing to do with Ji Lan, he will not believe it. It's just that sacrificing the lives of three subordinates is inevitably a bit ruthless.

Everything is just Wang Xu's speculation. As the parent officer of the field, it is his duty to comfort the families of the victims and help with the funeral. Since his official reinstatement, Wang Xu has not worn Yezai's official uniform. On the one hand, it's because it's too cold. Wearing a silk robe, it feels cold to the touch. On the other hand, they don't want to be ostentatious. After all, the people in the city know him, and it doesn't make much difference whether he wears an official uniform or not. If you travel in official uniforms, it will make the people feel a blessing in distance

He didn't want to scream. It's just an official at the level of the mayor of the town, and if you put on an official stand, I'm afraid that you will feel ashamed.

As soon as the previous recruitment advertisement came out, the officials and errands of the government were all in place. In local institutions like theirs, the demand for clerical officials far exceeds the demand for errand servants. Eight officials are obviously not enough. However, Wang Xu is more confident, thinking that with modern Rao ability and pulling the forward-thinking Mo Zhai as his master, Yezaifu can basically operate. There's no need to spread the floor too big. After all, next year's tax collection will be in the fall, so it won't be too busy until then. Or leave the remaining places for the students in the academy. This can be regarded as fulfilling the promise made by the curtain to the people in the village.

At this time, he was in the hall of the government to calculate the taxes for the coming year with three officials. Since Yunmeng was given to Ji Lan, the tax of one out of nine here does not need to be handed over to the treasury, but directly handed over to the lord of the feudal city. Wang Xu put down the scroll in his hand and rubbed his temples.

"Hey! Autumn endowment of 310,000 yuan. It is still necessary to reclaim 1,200 acres of wasteland. Organizing spring ploughing is particularly crucial. ”

He understood that Ji Lan was bound to succeed in making Yunmeng next year. That's why we will make a tax plan for the coming year according to the Wanrao standard. At present, the population of Yunmeng is still short of 100 households, and it can exceed 10,000. For these inadequate populations, he not only had to create shelters, but also to ensure that they had land to cultivate.

Seeing that Ye Zai was worried, a Xu official bowed down and said:

"My lord! It is better to build the outer city now, and then settle the people in the spring. ”

It reminded him. Since being awarded the next doctor, Wang Xu was awarded the title of Sanli Shiyi in Yingze. There are still 100 households there that have not yet had time to manage. Originally, he planned to use the area near Qishui as a commercial area, but now he had a new idea.

"Not bad! Recently, the construction of Dongcheng has begun. You arrange for the requisition of 1,000 laborers in the field, and report this matter to the Situ Mansion as soon as possible, without delay. ”

Such a huge project can only be started after the approval of the Situ government. Yunmeng Dongcheng and Yingze are separated by Qi Shui. With the help of Yunmeng's resources, the development of the Yingze area can be driven at the same time. The pattern of the northern part of the country will change dramatically. If Yingze can also quickly succeed in making a town within two years, five large cities will appear in the Weijing north of the Yellow River at the same time. They are Chaoge, Qicheng, Muyi, Yunmeng, and Yingze. Measured purely by the economy and population, in the future, there will be capital to compete with the imperial court for a long time. This is not considered a good move.

After regaining power, Wang Xu at least did not need to form a cabinet and establish his own cousin Baisi Mansion. He is ready to build Yingze into a new city with the textile industry as the main body, and it is time to expand the business of kapok cloth and occupy the national market.

That's all over. He walked into the back hall, ready to change into official clothes, and brought condolences to comfort the families of the victims.

"Zijing! Take my official clothes. ”

Qiu Youzijing wore heavy makeup, held a brocade dress and jade belt, and walked over gracefully. When she came to Wang Xu's side, the woman said coquettishly:

"Are you going out, sir? Can I take my servant with me? I've been bored in the house. ”

Wang Xu looked at the woman's face and coughed lightly.

"Ben Jae is going to preside over the funeral and take you... Hehe... I'm afraid something is wrong. ”

If this flamboyant woman were to be brought to the funeral, it is estimated that the family of the deceased would knock them out of the door.

Wang Xu smiled mockingly, and the woman was full of resentment.

"If you don't go, you won't go."

"That's right! In the past few days, you have taken the servants and maidservants of the house to visit the next lady. Listen to what Madame has to offer. ”

"The servant knows."

Qiu Youzijing put on official clothes for Wang Xu and tied a jade belt. Immediately afterwards, the flattery began.

"It's really majestic for an adult to wear an official robe, and he looks much better than those old men."

Wang Xu shrugged and smiled. The woman looked at him with admiration, and suddenly her eyebrows rose. His eyes were fixed on the sleeves of his official uniform.

"Huh? The sleeve robe is a little wrinkled. The adults take it off first, and the servant takes it to wash. ”

After that, Qiu Youzi bowed quietly and wanted to untie Wang Xu's jade belt. Wang Xu turned sideways to avoid it and waved his hand.

"No hassle. When I return, you will take it and wash it. ”

Subsequently, Wang Xu led four servants and brought some money and grain out of the house. He boarded the carriage and saw that the right hem of the official uniform was indeed a little wrinkled, and he couldn't help but tug on it with his hand, trying to smooth it out. However, when the thumb touches the cuff, it feels a little abrupt and rough inside. He flipped through the cuffs and saw that there was a "Xu" character embroidered inside. The font is beautiful. It is made of bright white silk threads, which are sewn so tightly that it is no wonder that there are some wrinkles. When he looked closely at the embroidered words, he found that there was a faint trace of dark red blood on the silk thread. Wang Xu's heart couldn't help but move.

That day, I went to the lord's mansion to ask for Yazhang. Ji Lan's maid clearly hinted at him. Now that I think about it, this implication actually refers to the embroidery inside the official uniform. He seemed to get it. If Wei Chang's death was secretly planned by Ji Lan. The other party really paid a lot for him and sacrificed a lot. Able to do things as they should. Wang Xu's heart was touched.

Yet he understands the other side. With Ji Lan's foresight, he will never simply kill people and kill people. After all, when the strong man named Ah Hu died, there were many witnesses. I want to cover up this forever unless I get rid of all the people who were there at the time. Such an ungrateful thing, he would not do it and would not agree to Ji Lan to do it. If he really couldn't hide it, he would rather take Aji and flee abroad for refuge than hurt the people of the same village.

Wang Xu couldn't figure out what kind of means Ji Lan used, so he didn't hesitate to expose himself to alert the marquis, but also to save his and Aji's lives. After all, he is still just an outsider now, and he has not really participated in Ji Lan's plan to rebel, and Zheng Jiangwei is often killed by such a clumsy and extremely risky approach. With Ji Lan's intelligence, she would not be so reckless. It's never easy. Wang Xu smelled a hint of conspiracy.

At this time, directly west of Yunmeng, less than a hundred miles away, a major event was happening. This is Muyi, Wei Chang's hometown, and it is also the birthplace of those four bullies. The key figure in this incident - Ah Hu. His body... It's actually here...
