Chapter 66: The Prototype Revealed (Two Chapters in One)
"You see, I also have phoenix tears, could it be that I am also a scourge? If so, then let me be a scourge with you. Without hesitation, she joined him in the ranks.
Yu Wensheng didn't mind her nonsense, but when he heard her say that she would accompany him no matter what, and even take out the so-called "evidence", he smiled.
The eyes narrowed into a slit, and it looked really pleasant.
He knew that Zheng Quqi definitely didn't know the true meaning and origin of "Phoenix Tears", his mind was uncertain, and he wanted to see her frightened expression a moment ago, but at this moment he didn't want to tell the truth to scare her.
"Your promise always seems to be easy to promise, what if you go back on it later?" Yu Wensheng seemed to be seriously thinking about it, worried about the future.
Back? Isn't this the behavior of scumbags and scumbags?
She felt that every word she said was sincere from the heart, and there was no such thing as what he said.
…… Besides, she doesn't seem to have made any serious promises.
"I'm not a casual person, I will do what I say, and I will never go back."
When he saw her staring at him, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he didn't see any dodging or abnormality, only pure trust and affection.
He whispered, "Me too." ”
Zheng Quqi grinned when he heard it, and there was no one on his mouth.
"Then we're a good match."
As soon as she finished saying this, she froze, and after a moment of silence, Yu Wensheng tilted his head and smiled at her like a white magnolia, and her lips rippled softly, making people feel its tenderness.
"You're right."
She couldn't look at his face for a moment, but suddenly turned to look behind him, and stammered, "So, that, was there someone behind you?" What about them? ”
"Follow behind, but you can't see it."
Behind him, but he can't see it...... Why does this sound so creepy?
And in the middle of the night, he led a group of people out, it can't be a walk to admire the moon, Zheng Quqi realized that he might be on a "mission".
"Do you have anything important to attend to?"
"Hmm."
"Then you put me down, you go and do your work, I'll go back by myself."
He asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Zheng Quqi: "......"
Go back and continue to pretend to be a man and work as a laborer.
Since she couldn't get out of it for any legitimate reason, Yu Wensheng finally took her to the Sifang Hall.
It is located between the green tiles and red walls, the abrupt horizontal cornices show its high value, the high fluttering signboard flags, and the delicate yellow lanterns hanging all over the roadside, all make this small area of Fu County like a treasure land of feng shui, prosperous and sleepless.
BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road, and this is a place where businessmen gather.
Zheng Quqi turned her eyes curiously, since she crossed to Fuxian, she wore shoddy cloth clothes, lived in the most basic thatched house, and the people who came and went were either farmers or craftsmen.
It's really rare for her to see so many "upper-class people" at one time.
Yu Wensheng's appearance did not arouse the attention of many people, after he put down Zheng Quqi, he covered her head with a cloak, firstly to keep out the cold, and secondly, to prevent others from seeing her true face.
"You wait for me in the side room first."
He took her little hand, put on the Shura mask again, and passed all the way from the main entrance, and everyone who passed by him was full of horror, and when he was about to kneel and bow in the next second, he pointed to his lips, and his smiling eyes narrowed slightly, warning him to silence.
Zheng Quqi couldn't see it, but she always felt that there should be a lot of people around, but it was strange, but wherever Liu Fengmian took her through, the chatter and laughter was still chattering one second, and the next second it stopped abruptly, and the stagnation was especially abrupt and weird, making her scratch her head.
And the shadows cast on the ground, which were originally elongated and staggered standing, but as soon as they passed, they shrank and fell...... What are they doing? Squatting? Still is...... Got on your knees?
Why is it silent again?
Because they can't see, they can only distinguish the surrounding environment by hearing, but the Sifang Guild Hall, which is so noisy and lively, inexplicably fell into an illusion that it was so quiet that time had stood still.
"Liu, Liu Fengmian?" She pinched his fingers and called him.
Yu Wensheng guessed that she must have noticed something, so she called him a little uneasily.
"There is a Taiyuan official from the guild hall." He said.
Officials in Taiyuan?
The achievements of Ye Guo are Taiyuan, and those who can generally be officials in Taiyuan basically belong to the central power, and the local officials have met with the gentry, and there are all kinds of expressions of awe...... Seems normal.
But somewhat...... The awe is too much, it's almost time to catch up with the silence.
At the same time, there is another thing in her heart that feels strange.
When others saw the Taiyuan officials, they all wanted to kneel and lick, but why was Liu Fengmian so calm? Could it be that if you are a subordinate to Yu Wensheng, you can also follow him to such a point?
She was taken by Yu Wensheng to a reception hall in the East Pavilion Elegant Hall, behind which there was a screen of wind flowers and snow moon birds, and he placed Zheng Quqi behind it, and sent someone to send a new set of matching dresses.
It was a very beautiful skirt, Zheng Quqi didn't know what the name of this skirt was, in short, it was a bit like a skirt, with trousers, a shawl, and half an arm, in short, a set of upper body was quite complicated.
She picked and chosen, only admired it, and then put it aside without interest.
Have you ever seen a craftsman in a skirt to move stones? It's still such a gorgeous and bright long dress.
She found that her husband was somewhat suspected of being a loser, so what did she do when she bought these flashy and beautiful dresses? With their current background, the money should be used in more practical places, and she doesn't need these gorgeous appearances to decorate herself.
At least not at this stage.
Thinking that she hadn't worn any beautiful clothes in her previous life, her vision and knowledge were all broadened in all kinds of lights, so she could not only be arrogant, but also lower her body development.
It all depends on whether she is resolute and confident in her heart.
Looking at Liu Fengmian, who was sitting in the main seat of the living room with his back to her in front of the screen, she once again felt that he might be Yu Wensheng's guest or something, Wei Yao said that Liu Fengmian was sent on a mission.
Based on her many years of experience, employees who travel at public expense generally earn more extra money than those who work on a shift position.
When she thought that Liu Fengmian's eyes were so inconvenient, and she worked so hard to go out to make money for her family, she felt like she had been beaten with chicken blood.
She can't slack off, she has to plan and develop her career well, so that she can be responsible for making money to support her family in the future, and Liu Fengmian doesn't have to work so hard, she is responsible for being beautiful at home.
In the front hall, a group of merchants dressed in rich and gold clothes flowed in.
Zheng Quqi is not interested in these officialdom negotiations, and is also worried about her other identity, if she knows too much about Yu Wensheng and their secrets from Liu Fengmian, if one day her Mo family's identity is exposed, maybe it will cause him big trouble.
So, she quickly dressed in men's clothes, combed her dry hair and tied a ball on the top, and quickly applied makeup and changed in front of the bronze mirror.
In the end, he took a charcoal pen and left a message for Liu Fengmian on the table, then wrapped his cloak and pulled on the hood to cover his face, and sneaked away through the back door.
——
Yu Wensheng appeared in the West Street workshop in Fuxian County this time, and he really came for an important matter, he came to summon the rich gentry of Qizhou, just to buy a huge amount of rice for the construction of the city wall.
In addition to quantity, money is also needed.
This is also the usual style of the official power, once the government has difficulty in making up the number, they will convene the rich gentry of the counties to discuss, or "borrow" or "induce", in the end, let them bear the cost of the vacant funds.
Generally speaking, this kind of matter has always been negotiated by the county magistrate or other civil servants, but these rich gentry in the border areas of Ye State are amazing, and they don't pay attention to officials such as the county magistrate at all.
They pay a large amount of taxes to the state every year to ensure the financial balance of the treasury, and it is expected that the imperial court will not be able to deal with them forcefully except for "soft words".
Therefore, under such a premise, Yu Wensheng will personally end the game.
After Wei Yao finished inspecting the safety around and arranging the security work, he returned to Yu Wensheng.
As Yu Wensheng's guard officer, the position he was standing in was not far from the screen, and he should have been usually not squinting, like a cunning fox, suppressing all the movements present with the eyes of a fierce beast.
But at this moment, when he was on duty, his mind was biased, and his eyes were always drifting unconsciously.
He was really curious, he really wanted to know who the woman who was suspected of being the general's wife, what she looked like, was she beautiful or extremely intelligent? After all, it can make the general care, but it can't be mediocre.
He quietly shifted his gaze again, intending to peek at the person behind the screen, trying to see some clues through the vague layer of silk, but after multiple dialects, it was determined that the woman who had just been picked up by the general and placed in the side hall of the warm pavilion was gone?!
He couldn't hold back his excitement, and he didn't care about the fact that there were so many people present, so he immediately hugged his fists and reported: "General, Madame is gone?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Wensheng got up suddenly.
Walking quickly behind the screen, sure enough, Zheng Quqi was nowhere to be seen, and he saw a line of words written with charcoal on the corner of the table.
Liu Fengmian, I'll go back first, don't worry, I'll go home when I'm done.
In addition, after the word, she also drew a pattern that resembled a peach shape (bixin).
In the negotiation with the rich gentry just now, in order not to scare Zheng Quqi behind the screen and restrain the bloodthirsty impulse Yu Wensheng, he turned his head, but his eyes changed suddenly.
The ink-black eyes contained the ultimate blackness, and the corners of his mouth grinned, raising a gloomy to almost sickly smile, which spread from the pupils, like a demon lord in the sky.
"For Ye Guo, you may still have the value of survival, but for me, the moment you refuse, there is no need to continue to live."
"You say, if you all die unexpectedly tonight, and General Ben casually charges your death with rebellion, will your rich family property be handed over to the imperial court as a matter of course?"
The gentle and melodious voice suddenly sounded gloomily, startling the rich gentry who were arrogant before and refused to pluck their hair under various excuses, trembling all over.
They were so frightened that they sweated profusely, and their soles and scalps were numb.
As the so-called people don't talk much, this description is Yu Wensheng's coffee.
From the beginning, they relied on the fact that they were big taxpayers in Ye State, and insisted on refusing to pay for the construction of the city wall, and were only willing to selfishly guard the one-third of an acre of land in their Zhuangzi and shops, and sweep the snow in front of their doors.
However, after Yu Wensheng cleanly beheaded a "leader", the picture of blood splashing on the spot made the others finally realize something.
That is the person in front of him, not a county order who has to consider the overall situation in everything, but a "living Yama" who divides the corpse of a person if he disagrees.
Sure enough, the iron wrist was more useful to the businessmen than any Huairou policy, and after they were frightened, they immediately rushed to make their position clear when they confirmed that Yu Wensheng was not joking, but really intended to bloody the rich gentry.
Jokes, compared to fate, what is the loss of some money.
At the beginning, it was because people had not been forced to that point, and they all had a fluke mentality, and they wanted to pick a little bit of it.
But now it can't be done, give up your wealth to avoid disasters, and spend money to send the "living Yama".
Wei Yao couldn't help but be amazed on the side.
It's not because as soon as the general made a move, he cleaned up the group of rich gentry who dragged 2580,000 yuan.
Instead, he deliberately shouted "Mrs. General" just now, intending to test and confirm, but the general's first reaction was that he could pat his chest for sure.
That woman is really the general's wife, 100% certain.
Look at the general's intrigue with the group of slippery rich gentry at the beginning, restrained the devastating violence under his eyes, and tried to follow the ordinary set of courtesies, but as soon as the lady left, he directly tore up the painted skin, and the prototype was revealed......
At this point, a ridiculous and lingering idea arose in Wei Yao's heart.
If one day, when the general completely loses his mind and becomes a slaughterer who knows only madness, perhaps only Madame will be able to stop him.
——
Zheng Quchi walked alone at night, somewhat nervous, and she ran to the archway of "ingenious workmanship" in one go.
Wei Yao said that he sent someone to wait for her here.
She looked up, and sure enough, she saw a soldier leading a horse, with a silent face, standing at the menhir of the archway and waiting for someone.
"Well, hello, I'm Vi—"
The soldier heard her greeting and turned his head.
Zheng Quqi looked at the other party's face, and his tone soared: "Autumn? ”
Qiu wasn't surprised at all, he nodded at her, "Well, it's me." ”
"Why are you here?" Zheng Quqi's little face wrinkled, and it was difficult to hide his disgust and powerlessness.
As soon as he appeared, it meant that she might be in trouble again.
"Shan Bian called me over." He handed her something wrapped in cloth, and looked at the weight of it: "Your crossbow." ”
As soon as he heard him mention Shan Bian, Zheng Quqi understood what he was talking about this trip.
"All the assassination plans are arranged?"
"Hmm."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Sniping the original follower and the silver owl, I and Shan Bian will create opportunities for you, the time and place are not clear for the time being, but it should be within the next three days."
"What will happen to me if I fail or get discovered?"
Qiu heard her calm question, and his breath was very light, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "They don't die, they die...... It's going to be you. ”
