Chapter 40: Robbery while the fire is on fire

(Looting while the fire is hot)

In this way, Wang Qiang easily toyed with King Jin Zheng of Qin between the palms of his hands, and assassinated the ministers who recommended him one by one.

The ministers who vigorously cultivated party henchmen were panicked for a while, and they tried their best to win over the Praetorian Guard. The family's money almost caught up with the state treasury, and most of his relatives were also officials. The Qin State, which had been prosperous in its original national strength, gradually declined.

And the surrounding six countries such as Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei also have their own ghosts. But no one dares to take the lead in provoking a war, after all, their own side is also suffering from internal and external troubles.

The six countries were also guarding against each other, so they let Qin Guoan live for a few years. On this day, Wang Qiang took hundreds of Praetorian Guards and walked to the place where the hundred officials were in the morning and said, "The emperor is not going to court today, please take care of it." ”

There were several loyal ministers who had already bought off many assassins to assassinate Wang Qiang. But since this Wang Qiang can be a very good minister, he must also be very smart.

So he even has a lot of people to protect him when he goes to the toilet. Naturally, the Assassins had no chance to do so. After hearing this, the ministers discussed: "The emperor has not been in court for half a month, how can it be done if it goes on like this." ”

Wang Qiang glanced at the civil and military officials, and said in a dark voice: "Do you have any complaints?" Everyone was silent all of a sudden, after all, Feng Yucheng, the general who had repeatedly made military exploits yesterday, was the best example.

And since I appointed Zhou Mingyang as the Taishi, he has recruited talents for water conservancy, agriculture and business. In just over half a month, Linyi City has become more prosperous than ever.

I, the lord of the city, have a lot easier. Every day, the bamboo slips on the table gradually decreased, and Tan Feng also sent someone from time to time to count the affairs of Fengwu City and then ordered someone to send it.

When I had nothing to do, I went to the county office to look through some old cases, and I frowned as I flipped through them. Because although some cases are closed, there are many suspense, and most of the confessions seem to be coerced.

It should be left by the former county commander Liu Ye. Zhao Qi is probably powerless about this. Then I picked out the ones that I felt were wrong, and after a while, I picked out dozens of cases.

At this time, Zhao Qi had already come in and stood aside, not daring to make a sound, I looked up and saw him coming, so I asked, "Are these cases decided by your hands?" Zhao Ye wiped his sweat when he heard this, and said, "Lord Hui, Xia Guan is only responsible for recording." I really don't know the reason for this, Xia Guan asked before. But the original county order reprimanded the officials for being troublesome, so they ......"

I understood what he meant, and it was indeed advisable to protect oneself in troubled times. Besides, it would be nice to keep himself with the power in his hands. Then I put down the file and said, "Get me a prison uniform and put me in prison." ”

Zhao Qi was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't understand, and asked again, "My lord, what did you say?" I got up and repeated again, Zhao Qi immediately knelt down and said, "Xiaguan doesn't dare, you are a general and the city lord of Linyi City, and Xiaguan doesn't dare to do this even if you have a hundred heads." ”

Let's not talk about what the city lord is going to do, just this one thing that puts the city lord in prison is enough to behead himself all over the house. I picked him up and said, "When outsiders ask, they say that I asked you to do this, don't worry, you just need to do what I tell you to do." I only went to prison to investigate some cases. ”

When Zhao Qi heard this, he couldn't put himself in prison if he investigated the case, and besides, didn't there be a county government to investigate the case. Although I thought so, I hesitated for a while and did so.

Since I had visited him in prison before, I was naturally handy when I tried some cases the next day. In just a few days, most of the backlog of cases and some old cases have been handled. And I found myself to have a slight flair for handling cases.

The topographical map of the entire Qin State is also well understood, and the entire Qin State excludes those who have established themselves as kings. There are also more than 50 cities. It can be said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the foundation of the Qin State is still there.

And the city of Linyi, where I am located, is nearly thousands of miles away from Longcheng, the capital of the Qin State. So Wang Qiang is too lazy to take care of me. He thought he could pinch me to death with just a finger.

On this day, I just finished dealing with the affairs of the county government and was about to return to the city lord's mansion. His men sent an invitation. I almost don't look at invitations or anything like that.

Because since I entered Linyi City, the invitation has not been broken. For example, there is a meal to enjoy your face, and there are some thank you letters and the like. I usually look at the name on it and throw it aside.

But today's invitation attracted me because it only had two words on it. Weapons. At the end of the fall, Hu Yeyan is lifted. This Hu Yeyan is a well-known figure in this Linyi city. From a small businessman to one of the richest businessmen in Linyi City.

So I've heard of this man's name. So he opened the invitation card, which read, "Respectfully ask the city lord to move to Lingxiao Pavilion, Hu Yeyan is very grateful." "This Lingxiao Pavilion is the No. 1 entertainment venue in Linyi City. A place for the entertainment of the children of rich families and dignitaries, the minimum cost in it is 500 taels a day.

In other words, the entrance fee is five hundred taels. Of course, it is also a status symbol. Naturally, the facilities inside can be imagined. I took the invitation and slapped it in my hand a few times, then handed it to Lin Qi.

asked, "What do you think?" Lin Qi looked at it and said directly, "Linyi City is the general's territory, forgive him and he can't play any tricks." Because of the last assassination, Lin Qi's first thought was my personal safety.

Ever since I entered the city, I have also been worried about the weapons and rations of the guards. After all, relying on my original capital alone is a drop in the bucket. And the things that were brought out of the cemetery have been almost spent. Plus continuous conscription.

So I had no choice but to go to the Sky Pavilion in person. Look at what kind of medicine is sold in this Hu Yeyan gourd. Once you've made up your mind, you change into your usual clothes. Take Lin Qi straight to Lingxiao Pavilion.

If I go in an official uniform, it will feel like I am overpowering. Even so, along the way, everyone also gave way. After all, many people still have some impressions of the city lord.

After arriving at the Lingxiao Pavilion, I looked up and saw that the entire Lingxiao Pavilion was divided into three floors. And the color of each layer is also different, the first layer is black, the second layer is white, and the third layer is purple.

The few people who were entertained at the door saw that the city lord was coming in person. also hurriedly went upstairs to inform the pavilion master Huo Wu. Then a few people led us up to the second floor, and the entry price on the second floor was 1,000 taels. Hu Yeyan was looking at the singing and dancing in front of him at the moment.

I saw that the dancing girl was in a white shirt, dyed with green silk and ink, and the colorful fan was elegant, like a fairy, and the water seemed to come from a dream like an elf. Just like a round of spring moon in the sky, women sometimes raise their wrists and lower their eyebrows, sometimes lightly Shu Yun's hands, and the fan in her hand is closed and held, like a pen walking in the dragon painting Danqing, jade sleeves are windy, elegant and vigorous.

The sound of music is clear in the ears, the folding fan in the hand is like a wonderful pen like a silk string, turning, throwing, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, bending, flowing water like a dragon flying like a phoenix dancing.

However, Lin Qi was not in the mood to appreciate it, but just snorted coldly, and Hu Yeyan came back to his senses when he heard it. Get up and bow down, "The villain doesn't know, the city lord is coming, please forgive me." ”

In fact, although he expected me to come, he didn't expect me to come so soon. I looked at this Hu Xueyan and saw that he was thin and small. There is a black mole on the nose and the corner of the mouth, and the eyes are narrowed into a line when they smile.

Then he got up and sat down in the position of guest and host. Singing and dancing are back to normal. Lin Qi stood behind me on guard.

Hu Yuyan picked up a cup of tea and tasted it and put it on the table. I asked, "I wonder what the word weapon on Brother Hu's invitation card means?"

After hearing this, Hu Yuyan said: "There is a batch of weapons below, a total of 1,000 spears. It has been accumulated in his hands for many days, and I wonder if the city lord is willing to accept it?"

Then he asked, "Then at what price does Brother Hu plan to sell?" Hu Yuyan shook his head after hearing this, "It's not for sale, it's for you." "Now you're confused, a thousand iron guns for me?

Businessmen have always put interests first, since he is so generous. There must be a request for me, but Hu Yuyan paused and said, "As long as the city lord can attend the dog's wedding in two days." ”

Hu Yuyan's son got married, and many wealthy merchants in the city must participate. He probably asked me over to support the scene. Maybe I want to take this opportunity to suppress everyone.

I don't understand the intentions, but the temptation of that batch of weapons is too great. Even if I knew it was a pit, I would have to jump into it. Just when we were talking. Suddenly, a woman appeared.

To be precise, it is a Dongying woman. I saw that the woman was about twenty years old, with a slender body, big eyes, skin like snow, and a dark cloud of hair on the back of her head. Carrying something like a backpack on his back.

This person is none other than the Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion, Fire Dance Tianyi. The Fire Dance Family, one of the eight major families of Dongying. Toei is divided into eight families, namely the Tokugawa family and the Tokugawa two dogs. Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Morio, Tanaka family, Tanaka Tsuneko.

The Watanabe family, Watanabe Daisa. The Yamamoto family, Yamamoto Senjo. The Nakamura family, Shizuka Nakamura. The Takahashi family, Miko Takahashi. Fire Dance Family, Fire Dance Bear II.

The strength of the eight families is the weakest with Fire Dance Bear II, although Fire Dance Bear II is the weakest. The strength is also equivalent to any of the Seven Kingdoms. And this Miko of the Fire Dance in front of her is the most outstanding descendant of the Fire Dance family.

He was sent to the Qin State to develop the economy. The eight major families of Dongying also have their own chess pieces between countries. Dumping each other, Emperor Jimmu of Toei has basically been set aside.

Despite this, no one in the Eight Great Families dared to replace him. Together, they believe in the so-called Amaterasu Okami. Dongying was originally unified internally, and its military strength was almost equal to that of the Seven Kingdoms other than Qin combined.

However, Toei was already a belligerent country, and the Eight Great Families watched Emperor Jimmu's strength gradually decline. gradually yin and yang are violating, and each of them has begun to eat.

Miko Homai looked at the young man in front of her. The appearance is not very outstanding.
