Chapter Seventy-Six: The Tyrants and Inferior Gentry
"Originally, this matter was a secret of our rudder, but now you are not an outsider, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Shi Jie's eye-catching rosacea nose moved, and he specially advised: "You must not tell anyone else about this matter." ”
'Your secrecy has been known for a long time, and now I don't know how many people in the rudder know about it. ’
Xu Rong complained in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded seriously: "Don't worry, helmsman, I will definitely not let this matter fall into the ears of others." ”
Hearing Xu Rong's assurance, Xing Xingjie said: "This county order and county commander covered the sky in Wan'an City, and colluded with the rich merchants in the city to sell ironware, salt and other things to the grassland, so as to accumulate a huge amount of property. ”
Xu Rong had already known that the two were smuggling, but he didn't know that there were also wealthy businessmen involved.
But it's normal to think about it, these things have the participation of these rich businessmen, so it is better to hide people's eyes, if the county order and the county Cheng do this kind of thing in person, the risk of exposure is too great.
"I didn't expect it to be smuggling! Once this is discovered, it is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, no wonder this county order and county will help us, but I don't know which rich businessmen in the city are involved in this matter? That's a lot of money! ”
Shi Shijie had been observing Xu Rong's expression, and when he saw that there was only amazement in his eyes and a desire for money, he immediately relieved himself.
Youzhou has always been bullied by these grassland people, and I don't know how many people on the border of Youzhou have been ruined and displaced because of this.
As a native of Youzhou, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to accept such a thing.
When he knew about this at that time, he was inevitably a little resentful in his heart.
Also, this kid's home is not on the border of Youzhou, and he is relatively young, so he has not experienced the time when Youzhou was captured by the grassland people, so naturally he will not have much hatred for the grassland people. ’
Shi Shijie thought in his heart, and replied quietly: "The two largest families in the city are involved, and only this kind of land snake and the protection of the government can do this kind of thing quietly." ”
The two largest families in Wan'an City, namely the Dong family and the Ma family, have been rooted in Wan'an City for hundreds of years and are real snakes.
Not to mention that the children of the two families are all over Youzhou, but at least they have a lot of influence in Qingling County.
If these two companies are involved in this matter, then this matter will be quite tricky.
Xu Rong's heart sank, but his face was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect these two families to be involved in this matter, they are big families, there is no need to do this." ”
"Hehe......"
Shi Shijie sneered, "People's desires are endless, these two families have been annexing the land, forcing countless families to die, in this Wan'an City can be said to be the emperor of the soil, if it weren't for each other's dirt, I'm afraid this Wan'an City would have been their word for a long time." ”
"To the point where they have developed, if they want to go further, they must use Wan'an City as the foundation and continue to influence Qingling County, and then Youzhou."
"It's just that those people in the imperial court are not stupid, and they will not let such a family develop wantonly, and have formulated a series of restrictive measures, but it also depends on the person who implements it."
"Now these two families have pulled the county commander and the county commander of Wan'an City into the water, that is, the people in the same trench, they can't resist, I guess their hands will reach out to the county seat next."
Hearing Shi Jie's words, Xu Rong couldn't help but nodded.
Shi Jie's analysis is very reasonable, and I am afraid that it also has the credit of the White Lotus Sect's news channels.
'Since the county town personally went to Cangqing City to talk about this matter, have you already noticed some problems? Otherwise, you don't have to make a trip yourself. ’
Thinking of the county beard, Xu Rong estimated that the county town should not be ignorant of these situations.
The reason why he sent an outsider as an undercover agent was that Tie Ying and these people were also specially dispatched from the Demon Suppression Division, probably because they didn't want the Dong family and the Ma family to know the news in advance.
"Then I don't know what these two families think of our White Lotus Sect? Do you want to guard against them? ”
Shi Jie glanced at Xu Rong strangely: "What else can you think?" These Earth Emperors are the source of the calamity of the poor people, and our White Lotus Sect aims to free ordinary people from such suffering, and these people are naturally our enemies. ”
The foundation of the formation of the White Lotus Sect is that ordinary people suffer from natural and man-made disasters, and they take advantage of the situation, and propaganda can lead them out of suffering, which is why the current White Lotus Sect is born.
The White Lotus Sect naturally stood on the opposite side of these local tyrants and inferior gentry.
If the White Lotus Sect launched an uprising, these local tyrants and inferior gentry would definitely be the worst.
Therefore, these people are the most hostile to the White Lotus Sect.
As for those wealthy businessmen who were deceived into joining the White Lotus Sect, they were still far from the landlord's old wealth, and they were just businessmen with relatively low status, which was not the same thing as this kind of local tyrant and inferior gentry.
Xu Rong suddenly said: "So we usually have to watch out for these two, so will there be any problems if we move here?" ”
"Don't worry, you can imagine it, we can naturally think of it, and we have already thought of a solution."
Shi Shijie comforted, and then said, "It's not too early, you can go back and rest early." ”
"Then I'll go back."
Xu Rong was indeed a little tired.
As an undercover agent, I work hard, and I have to be careful many times, for fear that something will go wrong and others will know my true identity.
Return to your assigned room.
As one of the highest-ranking people in the rudder today, Xu Rong has his own single room, which is not big, but it is already a very good treatment.
I carefully checked the room, and found no holes, secret rooms, etc., in case I was watched.
Then, Xu Rong was relieved, washed up carefully, lay on the bed, and suddenly felt sleepy.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Rong suddenly heard a footstep getting closer and closer, and immediately opened his eyes and quickly got up.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The knock on the door made Xu Rong's originally somewhat chaotic head suddenly sober up.
"Who?"
"Brother Yu, it's me, the helmsman called you over."
Hearing Wang Mugen's voice, Xu Rong suddenly remembered that Xingjie said yesterday that he would take him to meet the county order and the county Cheng.
"I know, you go first, I'll come right away."
Xu Rong immediately got up, washed up quickly, and came to the hall.
When Shi Shijie saw Xu Rong, he immediately beckoned to him: "You haven't eaten yet, come and eat together, and we'll go out after eating." ”
Shi Jie's attitude was very close, which made Xu Rong a little uncomfortable.
However, he was not polite, and sat down directly: "Helmsman, where are we going to meet them?" ”
