Liu Quansheng and Xia Qing, who were sitting on the first floor, were hiding in the corners and whispering, and a few chuckles and sighs came out from time to time.

And on the second floor, Cao Zhi, who had just served as the county lieutenant of Lingyuan County, was sitting alone, silent, drinking alone, on his table, placing a plate of pork skin cake and roasted fish, and there was nothing else.

In his left hand, he was playing back and forth with an extremely ordinary five-baht coin, and the little coin was flying in his hand, but he refused to fly towards the wonderful quicksilver hole in front of him.

Cao Zhi is actually not the nephew of the county guard, he was born in ordinary people and grew up in the streets and alleys of the city.

When Cao Zhi was young, he had a mediocre appearance, mediocre qualifications, and a mediocre IQ. However, although Cao Zhi is like an ant, he also has the ambition of a bird, he has been determined to help the world since he was a child, and he is tireless, so he read the famous works of Zhuzi, and after 20 years of hard study, he finally became of great use.

And he is not satisfied with the status quo, not ashamed of the character of Gou Quan, but also to the appetite of Huaxing County Shou should know, so he took care of Cao Zhi in every way, Cao Zhi always provoked Haoqiang for the sake of the people, and he should know that he always lied to the outside world that "the stupid nephew is not sensible", and he did it hastily.

Therefore, Cao Zhi, who is jealous and hateful and upright, has been able to live to this day unharmed.

With a glass of wine in his throat, Cao Zhi's eyes became more and more fierce, and he said to himself, "The county lieutenant of Lingyuan County is in charge of dividing the affairs of the divisions, and it is his duty to read the feather archers and prohibit rape, and many of the illegal things of Liu Xing, the old dog, have been turned into small things here by the county lieutenant. A few days ago, Lord Ying forcibly gnawed off the fat of Lingyuan County Lieutenant from Liu Xing's hand, and supported himself to the top. The so-called one can be promising, as long as he plans a little, the military power of the entire Lingyuan County can obediently slip from the hands of the Liu family to his own hands. At that time, there will only be 800 soldiers left in Liu's available soldiers. This move of the adult can be said to have cut off an arm of the Liu family! Hey, I only suffered those innocent people of Zhangjia Village, and I don't know when you will be able to avenge your great revenge! ”

......

The reason why Lingyuan Liu's family has been able to stand tall in Huaxing County for many years is only because he has a huge network. On the other hand, he relied on some means to obtain the strong support of the Quzhou Jiang clan headed by the current state Mu Jiang Feng of Quzhou; Horizontally, driven by absolute interests, the large and small family tycoons of Huaxing County either watched the fire from the other side and made a fortune, or they bowed their heads in one go; On the other hand, he relied on the prestige of Mu Jiangfeng in Quzhou to control all the real power and important positions in Huaxing County by means of bribery, exclusion, assassination, and placement, and formed a system of his own.

Before taking office, it is not an exaggeration to describe the power of the Liu family in eight words: hands and eyes reach the sky and the root system is complex.

Before Ying Zhi was ordered to parachute from Gyeonggi Chang'an to Hwaxing County, the post of county guard had actually become a fictitious post and useless. In the past six years, after experiencing countless bargains such as the 'Zhangjiacun incident', some important positions have been replaced by ministers of the humerus, and it should be known that this has the right to speak in Huaxing County, and with the gradual resumption of the rule of Huaxing County, the relationship network shrouded in the sky over the Liu family has also appeared a hole, this hole, with Liu Quansheng riding the snow into Qingheju, persuaded Liu Xing to dismiss Liu Ruisheng's position, became bigger.

In recent years, as Liu Xing grew old, Lingyuan Liu gradually showed a hint of the decline of the river, and some people of insight began to quietly stand on Ying Cheng's side, and Cao Zhi was Ying Cheng's most loyal supporter.

......

Thinking of this, Cao Zhi stared at the third floor with burning eyes, "The east wall has collapsed and the west wall has collapsed, and today Liu Desheng did not deal with the aftermath of Zhangjia Village, but came here to meet Xie Wei secretly, and I don't know what ghost thoughts he had." Hum! ”

Where Cao Zhi's gaze was caused, Liu Desheng, Yang Guan, Huang Yan, and Xie Wei were sitting opposite each other for an appointment, and Yang Liu was bored standing in the corridor on the third floor, with a lazy figure, looking at the bustle downstairs, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Oops! Brother Xie, Liu is rude, if he knew that Brother Xie was coming in person, Liu should welcome the door! Liu is here, punish yourself with a cup, punish yourself with a cup! Liu Desheng gave a 'haha', picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, which was regarded as a banquet for the banquet.

Liu Desheng, who has always been on the high ground, can be regarded as groveling if he can do this.

Xie Wei sat on the west side, with a serious face, he didn't seem to be interested in Liu Desheng's flattery, and he didn't move a bite of the meal until now, seeing Liu Desheng so complimentary, he said coldly, "It's okay, Xie is in charge of the engineering and civil engineering of a state, this time on the order of Jiang Muzhou, he did the work of engineering, and came to Huaxing County to measure the size, set the route, and clarify the details, so as to ensure that the construction of the rainbow canal can be unimpeded." The rainbow canal is completed, and it can run smoothly in this Quzhou, and Xie does not live up to the high expectations of the state pastor and the expectations of the people. ”

Seeing Xie Wei's indifferent expression, Yang Guan, who was exquisite, was full of spring breeze, flicked his sleeves, stretched out his hand slightly, and personally poured tea for Xie Wei.

The tea was full, and Yang Guan smiled gently, "Lord Xie, have you ever heard of this Lingyuan Lingyuan camellia?" ”

Xie Wei didn't say anything, took a sip of hot tea, his attitude was indifferent, he didn't even look at Yang Guan, and said lightly, "In the past, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons every day, and then got tea to solve it, tea is a good thing." ”

The start was cold, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.

This Yang Guan is Liu Desheng's palm, everyone in front of her, behind her back, is full of care, reluctant to beat and scold, at this moment, he saw Xie Wei so rude to Yang Guan, his face was red, his eyes flashed, and he gave birth to a nameless anger, looking at Yang Guan, I don't know what to do at the moment!

Liu Desheng had already made up his mind in his heart, as long as there were any more disrespectful words in Xie Wei's mouth, he would go downstairs to summon the servants, beat Xie Wei badly, and throw him out of Lingyuan City.

You are a pastor of Quzhou, so what? In the realm of Lingyuan, the Liu family is the emperor!

In the face of indifference, Yang Guan was still full of spring breeze, and said to himself, "Lord Xie has a lot of opportunities, and he has worked too weekdays, my husband and wife originally planned to wash the dust for the adults and talk about their hearts, but since the adults have no intention of talking about leisure, the little woman will go straight to the point!" ”

Xie Wei said lightly, "I like cheerful people. ”

Yang Guan was angry, "The little woman is brave, and the husband asks Lord Xie for an errand!" ”

Xie Wei said with a smile, "Mrs. Liu said that I am just a small errand runner under the command of Jiangzhou Mu, who is humble and light-hearted, where is the qualification to arrange errands for the Liu family in a county!" ”

Xie Wei's words were full of cynicism.

"Lord Xie is humble! In the eyes of small families like us, you are the parents of food and clothing, you are rich and noble, and you are the god of wealth in the world! Yang Guan laughed and said, "This time, Your Majesty has worked hard to build the rainbow canal, which is really a move that will benefit the future in the present era, and I, Lingyuan Liu, as the leader of the Huaxing family, are naturally willing to contribute to this matter of benefiting the country and the people." ”

Xie Wei's expression and words were always indifferent, "Serving Your Majesty is the obligation and responsibility of a courtier, and the Liu family can have such an awareness, worthy of the name of two generations of emperors!" ”

Yang Guan was not complacent at all for this kind of formality and unobtrusive appreciation, and said with a gentle smile, "My lord, in the eight counties of Huaxing, my Liu family has a deep foundation and rich popularity, although the Xuanhuai Zhao family and the Fengyi Huang family are also the families of Huaxing County, but they are born in martial arts, fighting and killing are their strengths, and they are all shortcomings in life and work, especially the vast project that requires all-encompassing canal repair, with the rough nature of martial arts, it is extremely difficult to complete." ”

Yang Guan paused deliberately, and his face showed a look of expectation, "Therefore, this thirty-mile canal in Huaxing County, I hope that the adults will select the virtuous and use the energy, submit it to the imperial court envoy, and hand it over to the Liu family and my husband to build." My husband and wife once again promised that not only the project will ensure quality and quantity, but also the money and silver used by the imperial court to build the rainbow canal, my Liu family only needs eighty percent, as for how the other two percent flow, the adults have their own decision! ”

The spear rises and falls, and the picture is poor!

Yang Guan glanced at Xie Wei with a smile, the twenty percent benefits of building the rainbow canal are not more than thousands of dollars? She didn't believe that in the face of such a thick and attractive interest, Xie Wei would be indifferent.
