Chapter 207: Who is the acting school
Zhao Xing hurriedly asked his servants to drag Zhao Er out, this kid was of little use to himself from now on. After such a big disaster, it was not bad if he didn't kill him, but now the whole person is paralyzed, and it is not as good as his own dog.
The next step was to arrange a ferry, because Zhao Xing was going to accompany Shao Xi to Yujiang City, so he took a sedan chair except for the boat, and Shao Xi didn't need to go back to the inn to get the horses.
After Zhao Xing and the others left, Shao Xi said to the yarn girl: "Although you mentioned to me before that all walks of life in Yujiang County have private tax increases, but at the moment, I can only make a fuss about this cloud yarn, and the rest can only be talked about later." I will find a way to get your yarn mill and cloth business out of the control of the Zhao family, these days I will go back and forth between Yujiang City and Yushui County, in order to facilitate me to sneak back to Yujiang City to investigate what the Zhao family did, I hope the girl can teach me the method during this time. After all, this ferry is also under the control of the Zhao family, and if I want to steal back to Yujiang City, it seems that I can't expect to cross the river by boat. ”
The Yarn Girl nodded, and said gratefully, "I already understand what you are going to do, what you do is full of risks. Now that you have lowered the yarn tax in Yushui County, you have fulfilled your previous promise, and I will naturally fulfill what I promised you before and teach you the method of body. However, the investigation of the Zhao family is extremely dangerous, and I hope that the son himself will be more careful! I know that it is not a day's work to bring down the Zhao family, no matter how far Gongzi does it, the people of Yujiang County will remember Gongzi's kindness. ”
Shao Xi smiled and waved his hand, in fact, he never expected anyone to remember him when he did these things. is still the same sentence, while helping the local people, he must have to make some benefits for himself. He's not a saint, he doesn't do that thankless thing, so there's really no need for anyone to thank him.
"Old Wu, now that things have reached this point, we have arrived in Yujiang City, and the county guard Zhao Huajun will definitely target us, and all our actions will be under his surveillance. So I plan to take a boat between Yujiang City and Yushui County these days, and you stay in Yujiang City to confuse them, so that after I return to Yushui County, there will only be this Zhao Xing, and I will be more than enough to deal with him. If I wasn't in Yujiang City, they would naturally relax their vigilance against me, so that it would be convenient for me to sneak back to Yujiang City to secretly investigate whether they were really raising a private army, and you would be in Yujiang City to attract their attention with great fanfare, even if you did something. Only if they focus on you will it be easier for me to move, you know what I mean? ”
Lao Wu felt very happy when he heard Shao Xi's arrangement, what does it mean to make a big fanfare? Now pretending to be a corrupt official is naturally eating, drinking, and having fun with great fanfare, causing trouble! This thing doesn't need to be learned at all, and it doesn't need to spend money yourself, this kind of thing where someone follows behind the ass to pay the bills everywhere you go, Lao Wu is naturally willing to do it.
"Don't worry! I'm the best at doing things, and I'm sure I'll keep them busy all day long, busy staring at me. ”
Shao Xi turned around again and said to the yarn girl: "Just now I have made Zhao Xing mistakenly think that you and I have a special relationship, so the excuse for me to return to Yushui County from Yujiang City is naturally because you are here, and I have to come back every day to find you." Although this matter is just an excuse, it will affect the girl's reputation to some extent, if the girl is unwilling, it is better to say it at this time, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to you and me in the future. ”
When Shao Xi mentioned this matter, the yarn girl's face suddenly turned red again.
Indeed, an unmarried girl has to let a man into her home every day, and the relationship she declares to be so sensitive, that it does cause some gossip.
can think about what Shao Xi and Lao Wu are doing now for the sake of the people of the entire Yujiang County, how can the risks they take be comparable to the reputation of a mere woman? What is your reputation in comparison?
"Young Master Shao, although this matter may damage the reputation of the little girl, what you are doing now is not for me alone, but for the people of the entire Yujiang County. If I am criticized for this, I will not regret it, the little girl had no intention of getting married, and now as long as I can help you, I am willing to gossip about it. ”
Hearing the words of the yarn girl, Shao Xi also secretly admired it in his heart. A woman can rather have her reputation damaged for the sake of the people, and she has no hesitation to be misunderstood, which is by no means something that ordinary women can do.
It's just that the yarn girl has no intention of getting married, which makes Shao Xi feel very surprised. Speaking of which, this woman was born with good looks and such a gentle temperament, and she opened this yarn shop with her own ability, if she wanted to find a decent family, it would not be difficult, but why did she not want to marry?
But after all, this is someone's private matter, and Shao Xi doesn't want to inquire too much, as long as she doesn't object to the matter of pretending to be intimate between the two at the moment.
"Then this matter will be agreed, and the next thing will depend on the improvisation in Yujiang City. Lao Wu, you still have to call yourself the inspector of the 'Jing Cheng Division' in front of them, although the grade is not high, it is enough to make them pay attention to you. When I'm not in the city, you have to be greedy, very greedy! I want to make them feel that you and I are interested in the huge profits brought by the cloud yarn industry in Yujiang County, so that it will be easier for me to open my mouth to them. ”
Lao Wu laughed and said quite proudly: "I'm afraid you have forgotten how I bluffed people in Wanxian County, and it's not a matter of making it difficult for them to have some problems?" I know that the harder it is for me to speak, the harder they will think you will be to get rid of you, and when you make even a small concession, they will be grateful to you and will not dare to make excessive demands again. ”
"Hah! Of course I know that you are an old fritter, and you are not ambiguous at all when you do things that lack virtue, this time you will let go of your hands and feet, and if you want to lack virtue, you will lack as much virtue as you want, so that they can even greet your ancestors for the eighteenth generation, and I absolutely support you. ”
As soon as Lao Wu heard Shao Xi say that he lacked morality, he instantly exploded and began to talk crookedly again.
"You say I'm an old fritter, forget it, what do you mean that I am not ambiguous about my lack of morality? What am I doing that lacks virtue? You make it clear to me! If you want to say that the most immoral thing I have done is to raise you, a young master who lacks morality, and I am angry with an old man all day long. ”
Shao Xi said disapprerovingly: "Don't talk to me, do you dare to say that you haven't done anything immoral?" Do you have to expose your shortcomings? ”
In a word, it seemed to remind Lao Wu of something, and Lao Wu instantly closed his mouth.
The two of them had just come down from Wulong Mountain, and when Lao Wu stole the martial arts cheats and magic weapons of several major sects, the most excessive thing was to pick up people's graves. Just because of this, I don't know how many times I was beaten by Shao Xi with that emerald feather sword! Every time Shao Xi used this matter to scold him, he chose to shut up unconditionally.
The yarn girl watched them old and young arguing here, and she also felt that she couldn't cry or laugh. How is this like two court officials? It's just like the grandchildren of ordinary people's families, and they don't distinguish each other.
The three of them sat in the courtyard, and they talked without saying a word for a while, only to see Zhao Xing running to inform Shao Xi that the ferry was ready.
After Shao Xi instructed the yarn girl to wait for her to come back in the yarn workshop, she and Lao Wu followed Zhao Xing to the dock and boarded the ferry towards Yujiang City.
Needless to say, Zhao Xing's various sycophants along the way took a little half an hour for the boat to travel from the Yushui River to the Yujiang River, and then cross the Yujiang River to the other side of the river. As soon as he got off the boat, he saw that there was already a soft sedan waiting at the ferry, and it seemed that Zhao Xing had sent someone to Yujiang City in advance to make preparations.
As soon as the ferry approached the ferry, Shao Xi and the others had already seen officials at all levels of Yujiang County waiting for their arrival on the ferry.
It seems that this Zhao family is really well-informed in Yujiang County, so well-informed, and so fast, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't believe it.
As soon as Shao Xi and the others boarded the ferry, all the officials greeted them. The first person is dressed in a five-grade official uniform, with a pit on his face, two thick and black eyebrows, two big eyelids, and a beard on his face, looking not like a civil official but like a military general.
Looking at the scale of the officials who accompanied him behind him, almost the entire Yujiang City officials were called, which shows that this person is in Yujiang County. It's just that I don't know how many of these people are the descendants of his Zhao family, and how many of them are forced by the Zhao family's obscenity and have to come.
I saw that Zhao Huajun was already smiling all over his face, and he began to give a salute, looking extremely courteous, which made people feel contrived.
"Oops! I'm a big guest from Yujiang City today! If it weren't for the Yushui County Order to send someone to report, the lower officials wouldn't know that the two adults from Kyoto had arrived at the boundary of my Yujiang County, and the lower officials were too negligent, so I would have made amends to the two adults here, and please don't blame the two adults! ”
Shao Xixin said: "This guy has done a lot of work on the surface, and the pomp and circumstance to greet him is not small, and the officials who came from the capital in the past are also treated like this, right?" It seems that various benefits have been prepared in advance this time, right? Since you like acting so much, then I will accompany you to play a good show and see who is the acting school. ”
"Oh, Lord Zhao! This official has admired you for a long time! I have heard of the reputation of Lord Zhao in Kyoto, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to see it, today I am really fortunate to be able to meet Lord Zhao, and this official has not worked hard in Jiangnan this time, I am fortunate to be lucky! ”
"Oh, my lord is really a prize! I can't imagine that my little five-grade county guard can still enter the eyes of adults, and the lower officials are fortunate in three lives! ”
"Lord Zhao is polite, the official's surname is Shao, there is a lot of trouble when I come to Guibao Land, and I have caused trouble to Lord Zhao, please take care of Lord Zhao!"
"Huh! Lord Shao is willing to come to Yujiang City, which is to give the lower officials face, how dare he say that he is bothering? Not to mention the hassle! This is the honor of the lower officials, and it is also the honor of the people of Yujiang County. ”
Alas! Another bunch of polite nonsense......
