Chapter 553: The Woman Who Suffered
Shao Xi's arrangement is not only seamless, but also leaky.
Han Shaoguang and the others watched Shao Xi and Lao Wu arrange everything so confidently, they really admired how they could have so many ideas?
What seemed to be completely impossible was solved so lightly by them, not only to be able to find the whereabouts of the other party, but also to let the other party jump into the trap by himself.
Han Shaoguang turned his head to Zheng Yuanxiu and said: "It seems that our brothers are still too tender, compared to Brother Shao's such old and spicy methods, you and I seem to be useless, and in the future, our brothers will have to learn from Brother Shao and think more about serious things." β
Zheng Yuanxiu also had the expression of a little fan at this time, and kept nodding his head and said, "That's right, that's right!" When he was in Kyoto Daliang, Brother Shao's actions were extraordinary, and we are still far away! You have to ask Brother Shao for advice. β
Shao Xi waved his hand at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you two don't make a fool of yourself, hurry up and arrange everything after eating in a while, the sooner this matter is, the better."
"That Yan Song is a big hidden danger to Wanxian, we still have to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise the caravan heading to the Western Regions will come in two days.
"Lao Wu and I must set off with them this time, if this matter is not resolved, we will not be relieved to leave, so we must finish the matter before the caravan arrives."
When Han Shaoguang heard Shao Xi say this, he didn't even eat.
got up and said to Shao Xi: "You guys eat!" I'm going to make arrangements, first release the notice, and set up a thank-you banquet at Wanfu Restaurant at noon today.
"And I will also arrange for the officials to beat gongs and drums in the city, and make a big splash to ensure that the news will be spread throughout the city, if Brother Shao needs any manpower, just talk to his brother, everything depends on Brother Shao's plan."
Shao Xi thought about this matter sooner rather than later, since Han Shaoguang could get this matter done in one day, it was better to hurry up.
So he didn't stop Han Shaoguang, but just reminded him to be in a good sense of proportion when building momentum, and not to exaggerate too much, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party.
Han Shaoguang said yes, turned around and went to the front hall, these things are simple to say, but it is quite cumbersome to really arrange.
Zheng Yuanxiu, who stayed at this time, saw that Han Shaoguang had something to do, but he was still sitting here like an idler, so he looked at Shao Xi with a blank eye.
"Brother Shao, what can I do, brother? Don't let me be idle, or I'll look useless. β
Shao Xi is happy, this Zheng Yuanxiu is the most funny one among the five of them, although he is always teased by Han Shaoguang for some pranks, but he and Han Shaoguang are still very active in doing things.
In the past, when they were in the Egret Academy, there was something for them to do, and the two never delayed and prevaricated.
Although the mind is relatively simple, and the idea is relatively simple, but there is no ambiguity in doing things, and there is basically no big mistake in everything that is handed over to them.
So Shao Xi instructed Zheng Yuanxiu: "There is really something for you to do, the thing arranged for Shaoguang is to let Yan Song and his group know that I have come to Wanxian, and the thing handed over to you is to make Yan Song think that we came to visit Zhang Chong and his wife this time."
"So I and Lao Wu stayed in Zhang Chong's house by you, I came to Wanxian as a four-grade official in the court, but I didn't live in the government but had to live in a head-catching house, you and Shaoguang as local officials naturally had to arrange thoughtful arrangements to show respect and awe for me.
"Then this matter should be done with great fanfare, and it is not too much to make it public, so that Yan Song and his gang can be very sure that we are staying in Zhang Chong's house and lead them here.
"In addition, we don't know how many people Yan Song's gang came to the city this time, so you have to arrange with Zhang Chong for his subordinates to arrest and secretly investigate the outsiders who have been in the city for a long time recently, and if you find suspicious people, don't make a noise, just secretly monitor them, and report them in time if there is any abnormality."
Shao Xi's arrangement is one link after another, not only to spread the news of his coming to Wanxian County through Han Shaoguang, but also to further let the other party know his specific whereabouts, and also choose a place where they can easily start.
Everything seems to be public, but it doesn't seem deliberate, which makes the other party feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Zheng Yuanxiu saw that Shao Xi had arranged a job for him, and he couldn't sit still, so he raised his butt and ran out, ran to the door, turned his head and ran back, and pulled Zhang Chong up and walked towards the front hall.
Shao Xi and Lao Wu sat there dumbfounded.
"Are these two boys alright?"
Lao Wu pursed his lips, "You ask me, who do I ask?" Eighty percent are enlightened, but this is fine, I hope they can use their brains more when they encounter things in the future. β
At this time, Zhao Qiaoyun, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, finally said to Shao Xi and Lao Wu: "The two Engongs should have misunderstood the county commander and the county lord, although these two adults are still young and childlike, they both have a pure heart.
"Since coming to this Wanxian County, it is true that he is dedicated to the people and has no selfish thoughts, although sometimes he acts a little hastily, but the local people love the two adults very much, and they all say that the two adults have no official shelf, and they are good officials who are both close to the people and for the people.
"The little girl's husband Zhang Chong is just a small catcher, but the two adults have never looked down on him, but get along like friends, the little girl has never seen such an official, they are just young now, and ask the two fathers to give them some time."
In fact, what Zhao Qiaoyun said is not wrong, although Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu look similar to Shao Xi on the surface, they are really young.
The reason why Shao Xi has become an outlier in the eyes of everyone is only Shao Xi himself knows best, his actual psychological age is far more than eighteen years old, but thirty-eight years old.
How can the mind of a thirty-eight-year-old be compared to that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old?
Shao Xi seems a little cunning and cunning in the eyes of many people, and it is not surprising that he is scheming, and even a little scheming.
So after listening to Zhao Qiaoyun's words, Shao Xi also understood very well that he couldn't ask everyone to be like himself.
However, the officialdom is treacherous, and the two of them are not as calm and capable as Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan, if they don't grow up quickly, they will definitely suffer in the future.
It's a good thing that they are training in Wanxian right now, and this time they can also use Yan Song's incident to make the two of them understand that the struggle between people is by no means as simple as imagined.
In the real world, there is more of a contest between people between heads and hearts, and it is necessary to let go of the illusion in the school and truly face the sinister reality in reality.
They're still too young after all, so give them some time!
Shao Xi wants to establish his own power in the court in the future, and he has this idea not because of how ambitious he is, but because he is pushed forward by others involuntarily.
He knew in his heart that the person he was going to deal with in the future was useless to rely on his own martial arts alone, and he had to have the strength that he could compete with.
If you want to establish your own power, you must have your own confidants and credible people, such people are actually not easy to find, and these friends in the Egret Academy are the best choice.
They trust each other and support each other, and if everyone can occupy a pivotal position in the court in the future, then they have a certain right to speak.
Shao Xi even planned for a long time that the students in his Yuyan Hall would be future reserve talents, and only when he had the ability to protect himself in the court could Shao Xi be able to do what he wanted to do and be able to fight against those people.
So over the past year, Shao Xi has made friends whenever he has the opportunity, recruited talents, bought people's hearts, and gathered some available people around him as much as possible.
He hopes that Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu can grow up and enter the court as soon as possible and become a help that he can trust and rely on.
Shao Xi does not demand that they become eight-sided exquisite people, but only hopes that they will be able to take charge of themselves in the future.
"What Miss Zhao said is very true, as a friend, you should be considerate of them, thank you Miss Zhao for reminding them! The next few days may cause some trouble for Miss Zhao.
"Not only do you have to disturb your home, but it may be a little risky, but please rest assured Miss Zhao, the two of us will definitely protect you and your husband and wife.
"If Yan Songqi can be arrested again this time, he will never be easily allowed to escape, and it can be regarded as seeking justice for Lord Zhao who was killed back then, but this time Miss Zhao will be affected."
Zhao Qiaoyun got up and saluted Shao Xi and Lao Wu, and said gratefully: "If it weren't for the two benevolent fathers, let alone seeking justice for their father, even the little girl herself would not be able to get out of that demon cave.
"Now that the two benevolent fathers are willing to avenge my father again and get rid of this harm for the people of Wanxian County, the little girl is grateful in her heart, so why should she be affected? The little girl would like to thank the two benefactors again. β
After speaking, Zhao Qiaoyun knelt on his knees and bowed down.
Shao Xi hurriedly got up and returned the salute, asking Zhao Qiaoyun to hurry up, and Lao Wu answered on the side and said: "Miss Zhao doesn't have to thank us, the original county order of this ten thousand counties should have been done by Ling Zun, and Yan Song's cruelty to the court officials should have been punished."
"Miss Zhao's suffering is also caused by this person, a year ago the two of us failed to do this matter well, and now it is also the duty to make some remedies, I only hope that from now on Miss Zhao and the people of this ten thousand counties can get real peace."
Lao Wu's words made Zhao Qiaoyun couldn't help but burst into tears, and the pomegranate on the side hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and comforted Zhao Qiaoyun softly.
Shao Xi looked at the weak woman in front of him, and his heart was full of pity, she should have been a young lady from the county order family, but she lost her father first, and then her fiancΓ©, and these two dearest people died in the hands of Yan Song.
Thinking of Chu Yunhe, Shao Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in his heart.
Yan Song, you really deserve to die!
