The hearts of the people, like the mirror, know who is good to them.

The general of the auxiliary country cleansed the powerful families, dignitaries and dignitaries who used to be powerful and blessed overnight, and in the future, without them squatting on their heads and peeing, life will be much better.

The shopkeeper of the spring cake shop secretly wiped his tears, after such a period of time, the spring cake shop could not be opened, and the capital was also lost.

The eighth child who opened the duck shop was in good spirits, and he was depressed for a long time, and he vomited it all cleanly.

Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, the general would also be for the people of Jinlu City for the people, and asked for all the property of the family, and he would also be the Lord Thorn Shi, who did not do anything in the future, to the persecuted people as cattle and horses, and now they are settling the victims outside the city.

The two watched the general approaching the people cordially, and greeted the people in the market who were as humble as mud and sand.

Some of the people who were very excited wept and cried, "General, we have suffered!"

The general's face was sad, and he comforted that everyone would have a better time in the future.

The people in the market all believed in the general's words.

According to the popular will that Zhao Gou Chen has in Jinlu City now, even if the Son of Heaven comes in person, he can't compare to him.

The speed at which the shopkeeper Wang wiped his tears was fast again, and he sighed: "The general would have been here for a while, and so many things would not have happened. ”

Lao Ba didn't think so, and choked: "If the general comes in advance, how can those big families show their wolf ambitions? As soon as the general leaves, they will continue to oppress us!"

"That's the truth. The king's shopkeeper was saddened.

Lao Ba smiled bitterly: "Lao Wang, not only is your capital gone, but my Ba's capital is also all smashed in, pray that the court will see that our Nanyang has suffered such a big crime in the coming year, and exempt the tax, otherwise, I really don't know how to live." ”

"Shh, the general is here, don't say it, the general has done so many things for us, and the hard work is high, if the general hears us complaining about the heavy taxes, we will have to bother the general again. Shopkeeper Wang suddenly whispered.

Lao Ba looked at his expression and teased: "I just said why the general didn't come in advance, and immediately thought about the general again, Lao Wang, Lao Wang, you are really a piece of business material." ”

"Hey, Fang is my speech, the general killed those big families, after people are relieved, can they not retaliate against the general? Don't let the general pay our taxes anymore, the general is also a human, not a god." Shopkeeper Wang sighed.

In fact, he wished that the general would be a god and easily remove all the mountains that were pressing on their heads.

Such wishful thinking, think about it, of course, it's refreshing.

However, there is no end to manpower.

The shopkeeper Wang and the eighth naturally understood that the general was weak compared to other officials in the court.

The general is coming.

Zhao Gouchen's deep voice chatted with the eighth child and the shopkeeper Wang.

Then slowly through the crowd.

In between, someone couldn't help but kneel down for Zhao Gouchen again.

Zhao Gouchen hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Heaven and Earth Monarch, Zhao is not in the middle, your great gift is really unbearable!"

Get out of the crowd.

Zhao Gouchen waved at them gently.

Take the reins handed by the general who led the horse by detour.

The general neatly turned over and got on his horse.

Drifting away.

Although the figure of the general disappeared at the end of the street, the general will always remain in the hearts of the people of Jinlu City from now on.

The old eight gods thought for a long time, and refused to move.

The shopkeeper punched him: "Don't you want to go home yet?"

The old man who came back to his senses sighed and asked, "Do you still have any money on you?"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded: "The two officers and soldiers went to my house and gave sixty taels of silver. ”

"My family is too, but unfortunately the sixty taels of silver can't be used for business, so I have to keep it for the family to eat, drink, and Lazar. ”

"Who says it's not, such a difficult year, but it can be regarded as making me understand that I must have money in my hand, otherwise, I will become a disaster victim!"

"Alas...... By the way, do you have any money with you?" asked the eighth man as he continued.

The shopkeeper of the king bowed his head, counted a few copper plates, and held them in his hand: "That's all." ”

"Let's go, plus the money on me, it's enough for our brothers to eat and drink. Lao Ba said with a very good look.

When it came to drinking, the shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up: "A bird is about to fade out of my mouth." ”

The two separated from the crowd for a long time.

Turn left and turn right.

I went to the liquor store that I used to come to hide in the alley.

I ordered two pots of wine, two plates of vegetarian dishes, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of pickles for free.

"What is the difference between the Pingfeng Zhang family and other families?" asked the shopkeeper Wang.

Lao Ba continued with the topic they hadn't finished, and continued: "For example, the Pingfeng Zhang family is like the state pastor and the old man of the assassin Shi, and the other families are officials who work hard compared to this Pingfeng Zhang family. ”

"Oh, doesn't it mean that the façade of Pingfengzhang's house is in the sky?!"

"Exactly, the general even dared to kill the people of the Pingfeng Zhang family, and I don't know how the Zhang family would retaliate against the general afterwards. ”

"How dare the Pingfeng Zhang family take revenge on the general of the auxiliary state of the dynasty!"

Lao Ba looked left and right, and whispered: "You don't think that our Jinlu City doesn't have a gate valve family similar to the Pingfeng Zhang family, right?!"

"Ahh

"No, no, look at the appearance that scares you, it's just that the gate valve is a little worse than Pingfengzhang's family, and then I saw that Pingfengzhang's family was slaughtered by the general, and I panicked and put a pile of money and food at the door, and my family didn't wait for the general to look for them, and ran away with a light car. ”

Shopkeeper Wang took a long breath and said curiously: "Where and where does this family come from?"

"My cousin works in his house, I heard that it is the Lianghe Li family, and the Li family themselves say that it is not as good as the Pingfengzhang family. "Old Badao.

The shopkeeper Wang poured wine for the old eight: "It seems that it makes sense for the general to take the Ping Fengzhang family and deter a group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!"

"However, why didn't the general kill the head of the Pingfeng Zhang family as soon as he came up, but went to a few of them first?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the eighth child in confusion.

Lao Bayi slapped his thigh and praised: "This is what the general can compare to me!!"

"How?"

"Do you know which families the general killed first?"

"Of course it is clear, and now it has spread among the people of Jinlu City. ”

"That's right, these families, Lao Wang, tell me, which family's crimes are not innumerable, which family is not lawless and evil?!" asked the eighth with a sneer.

So to speak.

The shopkeeper Wang suddenly realized.

"Do you mean that the general is afraid that after taking the Ping Fengzhang family, he will reflexively kill these families, and there will be no righteousness?!"

"Exactly, the general's strategy is extremely deep and poisonous, but it is for us people in the market and for the victims outside the city.

At another table, a middle-aged man was drinking alone.

Wonderfully, a little monkey with blond hair squatted on his shoulder, staring at the wine and greedy.

"Hey, you only know one thing but you don't know the other!"

Lao Ba and the shopkeeper Wang heard the middle-aged man talking, and they all turned their heads to look.

"Brother, do you have a high opinion?" asked the shopkeeper Wang, who clenched his fists.

After the catastrophe, the king's shopkeeper looked at everyone kindly.

The old eight were peculiar to the monkey's well-behavedness, and not surprised by how the man trained the monkey to be so obedient.

The Great Summer is a vast land, and strange people are like crucian carp crossing the river.

If the eighth child is curious about everyone, he is afraid that he will not have to live, and he will be surprised by it.

"The two of you just call me Xiao Sun. The middle-aged man said politely.

Shopkeeper Wang smiled.

The eighth man hugged his fists and asked: "Brother Sun said that we only know one thing but not the other, may I ask the general what kind of thoughts we can't understand?!"

The man surnamed Sun slowly drank the wine in the cup before he said: "The general is to make an example of other cities in Nanyangzhou, and order other cities to learn from Jinlu City to kill the family and feed the people who don't know how many people there are!"

"Ahh

The man said: "Besides, with Xue Tingshi standing behind the general, the other cities in Nanyang must be honest, no matter how deep their relationship with the local family clan is in the past, they have to be ruthless!"

Lao Ba snorted coldly: "I should have done it a long time ago." ”

"Okay! What a great thing! How did these big families who had lost their conscience bully us ordinary people in the past? Hmph! It is really a good reincarnation of heaven!" The shopkeeper Wang was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"Alas, the two brothers are thinking too shallowly, and this move is a fire in the fire!!" the man shook his head with a wry smile.

Seeing that Lao Ba and the shopkeeper Wang looked at him puzzled, he said: "However, Nanyang Yangzhou is sick to the bone marrow, has suffered a rare snow disaster in a century, and there are big masters in the rivers and lakes to make a mess, and the people's lives are unsustainable, and this move is the only way." ”

"Brother Sun, let's be clear, we don't understand what you said?!" said Lao Baqi.

This person went straight to the point: "Dare to ask this brother, if you are one of those big clans that have been in business for decades or hundreds of years, and the government suddenly breaks into your home one day, and wants to loot all the money and food in your house and give it to the victims, and during this period, people in the government secretly fill their pockets, how do you feel?!"

Lao Ba was stunned for a moment.

That's right, put yourself in his shoes, if others dare to break into his house and rob money and food, don't say that he is not a big family, and he will have to kill the offender desperately.

The man looked at the expressions of the eighth and the shopkeeper Wang, and knew that the two of them felt the three flavors.

"Therefore, Nanyangzhou is far from the time of peace......"

"If the big families unite to fight against the government, maybe it will be even bigger than the chaos now!"

The eighth child and the shopkeeper Wang both turned pale.

"Excuse me...... May I ask Brother Sun, how should this matter be resolved?!"

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly: "Even the general of the auxiliary country has no solution, let alone the mere one." ”

"Couldn't the general have imagined what it would be like in the future?" asked the shopkeeper Wang.

The man sighed: "Zhao Gouchen is a general of the auxiliary country with a golden seal and purple ribbon at a young age, how could he not have imagined that he said just now that this move is the only way to save the people." ”

"What about the imperial court, why doesn't the imperial court care about Nanyangzhou?" asked the eighth suddenly.

"Jiang Jinzhou rebellion, the rebels are arrogant and approaching the capital, there are big enemies in the north and south of Xinjiang, and the East China Sea Division is also unable to get out, only Xisai can move troops into the Central Plains, however, the hundred-legged insects of the Hanshan Dynasty are dead but not stiff, and the Xisai lacks soldiers and horses, how can the Hanshan Dynasty miss the opportunity? !

The imperial court will not do anything, the general is sure of this, between the family and the people, the general chose the people without the slightest hesitation. The man said slowly.

"I'm not talking about horses, I'm talking about food. ”

"Hey, these days, the front line is tight, the Central Plains is tight, so many mouths, how can the imperial court give Nanyang the money and grain for disaster relief? Compared with grain, it is easier for soldiers and horses to suppress it, besides, where the soldiers and horses go, there is no food and no money, and it is a big deal to loot the local rich families and families, and be self-sufficient, which is much simpler than hard work to raise grain and grass and send it to Nanyangzhou!"

"The general, he ...... The general ......" the eighth muttered in shock.

"Don't blame the general, that's all the general can do now, and he's done his best. ”

The shopkeeper of the wine shop was familiar with Lao Ba and Lao Wang, and at this time, he dragged his chin and looked boredly at the bluestone slabs in the alley outside the door.

The shopkeeper of the wine shop suddenly said: "If you want me to say, the general should be ruthless, how many people have died in Nanyangzhou, how many people have died in the whole world, what does it have to do with him? It is better to wait patiently for the opportunity to be crowned king, at this time, he has offended so many families, and the status of the general in the court in the future is in jeopardy." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Sun glanced back at the shopkeeper of the wine shop, and said seriously: "Yu Shan, if the general is really as you say, he will not be the Zhao Gouchen who killed the Hanshan Dynasty trembling." ”

The shopkeeper of the wine shop called Yu Shan smiled and said: "That's right, but in the future, the chaos in Nanyang will become out of control, and the general who is the initiator will definitely be sprayed by the spitting stars on the temple." ”

Lao Ba smashed his fist on the table: "When the time comes, I'm willing to clarify for the general, if it doesn't work, what's the difficulty of dying in front of the general?!"

"The general has done so much for the hundreds of people in Nanyangzhou! How can we, useless people, sit back and watch the general being framed by this?"

There were only a few of them in the liquor store.

Yu Shan shook his head: "How many good things the general has done for the people now, how much tribulation will there be in the future." ”

The eighth and the shopkeeper Wang couldn't understand, and stared at each other with big eyes.

The man surnamed Sun sighed faintly and asked, "Yu Shan, I'm here to invite you out of the mountain, can you go?"

Yu Shan let go of his chin and stretched his waist, "The troubled times are coming, it's time for me to make a contribution." ”

"It's decided?"

"It's decided!"

Yu Shan suddenly walked out from behind the counter, hugged his fist towards the eighth and the shopkeeper Wang, and said: "Strangers have been bothering in Jinlu City for many years, fortunately the two of them have patronized the wine shop business all the year round, today I say goodbye, I don't know what year it is, no matter what year it is, I wish the two brothers and brothers a family reunion forever!"

After that, he didn't look at the horror of the eighth child and the shopkeeper Wang, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Sun Cang, go!"

Sun Cang smiled, patted Yu Shan's shoulder, and took the lead out of the wine shop.

But seeing the monkey looking around on his shoulders, it suddenly grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he became a big ape, Sun Cang jumped on the shoulder of the big ape, and stroked the ape brain: "This trip is for fame!"

Yu Shan felt something in his heart, and sighed with a smile: "A pot of wine in return to the wind and dust!"

The two disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lao Ba and the shopkeeper Wang were all excited, and after a while, they ran out to find the traces of the two.

It's just that the world is big, how can there be Yu Shan and Sun Cang?

"Is this the so-called hidden master of the market?" asked the shopkeeper Wang.

"Who said it wasn't, after eating wine in his wine shop for so long, he didn't know that Yu Shan was a master of the rivers and lakes!" said the old man incredulously.

"Shall we go home?"

"What kind of house are you going back to, the drinks and food in the shop haven't been eaten yet?

Swing seat for two.

The cook in the back kitchen brought the meat and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper has ordered, if he leaves, no matter who eats in the shop, the meat and grain are theirs, you eat these cooked meat first, mine has already been divided, I am dividing your two portions, after eating, take it home and live in peace!"

Lao Ba hugged his fists and asked, "Dare to ask the name of the master?"

The cook shook his head: "The master doesn't dare to be a master, it's just a master's apprentice." ”

"Ah, why don't you leave with your master?"

The young cook smiled bitterly: "Master said, the road ahead is foggy, I don't know whether this trip is dead or alive, if I die, his martial arts have taught me, but now the martial arts realm is low, and I can inherit the mantle in the future, so that the master's vein will not be completely cut off, if I live, I will send a letter to me in the future, and then go to the master." ”

Lao Ba and Shopkeeper Wang glanced at each other and exclaimed: "Respect the teacher, it is tantamount to my own father!"

......

said that Yu Shan and Sun Cang went out of Jinlu City.

Yu Shan seemed to remember something, and his body stopped suddenly.

Sun Cang, who was sitting on the left shoulder of the big ape and commanding the big ape's dexterity like a flying swallow, said in surprise: "Could it be that I think of your good apprentice?"

Yu Shan shook his head: "No, some time ago, a sloppy man came to the wine shop, covered in blood, around thirty, calling himself Wei Ke, I was wondering, is he the Wei Ke of Xisai?!"

"Wei Ke?!" Sun Cang asked solemnly in surprise.

"Yes, it's just that I said a little more and asked his name, and this person said, if you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, Wei Ke is also. Yu Shan said.

Sun Cang sighed: "I heard that General Wei was originally a bright man, but he was framed by others, but he became a disloyal and unrighteous fugitive, could it be that the sloppy man who came to your wine shop was General Wei of Nacisse?"

"I'm also thinking about this, the general is here, I don't know if I want to inform the general of Wei Ke's whereabouts!" Yu Shan hesitated.

This is no small matter.

Sun Cang was silent for a while: "The general has great kindness to the people of Nanyangzhou, even if that person is not General Wei, he should tell the general the ins and outs!"

"You and I will take a trip?" Yu Shan looked at Sun Cang, who was sitting on the shoulder of the big ape.

Sun Cang shook his head, jumped off the big ape, and took out the pen and paper he carried with him, "Just write a letter to the general." ”

"Where?"

"Naturally, it's the Assassin's Mansion. ”

Yu Shanpan sat down, put the paper on his legs, held his breath and concentrated, and wrote his words and deeds with Wei Ke on the paper.

It just so happened that a man was passing by.

The two asked.

It turned out that the man heard that a large amount of money and food were given to the people in Jinlu City for free, and he wanted to come here to get a piece of the pie.

Sun Cang took out two taels of silver and gave it to him, and ordered him to send the letter to the Assassin's Mansion and hand it over to Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary state.

The man was overjoyed.

Hurriedly accepted the silver two, quickened his pace, and rushed to Jinlu City.

"That man is a sincere person, let him send the letter to the Assassin's Mansion, it should be foolproof. Sun Cang said.

Yu Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them did not delay any longer, and rushed on the road.

......

Zhao Que returned from outside the city.

Somehow too.

The body is getting weaker and weaker.

His face was pale, as if he had been sick for a long time.

However, there is no obstacle to movement, and aside from physical weakness, it is no different from the past.

Ji Yue and Cui Yuan were worried.

They returned to the Assassin's Mansion and had a spacious room prepared.

Zhao Que sat down.

Looking at the worried faces of the larks, he smiled: "I'm so dignified and not dead, what are you all doing with sad faces?"

"General...... Take care of your health!" Zhong Yuming accompanied him and Li Yuanzi from Qingshi City to Jinlu City, and the general took good care of him along the way, and he was loyal to Zhao Que.

It's strange to say.

The backlash of the eight-phase dragon python was different from usual, it was not painful or itchy, and even he couldn't find one, two, three.

It's just that Zhao Que is extremely sure that the reason for his weakness to this point must be the backlash of the eight-phase dragon python.

The lost martial arts realm and true qi are all gone to the four dragons and four pythons with five internal organs and hundreds of limbs.

"No, no. Zhao Que muttered to himself.

Suddenly I remembered something.

Zhao Que took out the cold-blooded Zen that he had used several times.

As a treasure of the evil way, this thing is very mysterious.

Everyone had never seen a cold-blooded Zen, and looked at the blood pill in Zhao Que's hand curiously, and the blood in the blood pill was like a cloud of mist.

Could it be ......

Could it be that this thing is too hurtful to the heavens, although he has used the cold-blooded Zen several times to make up for the defects of the eight-phase dragon python, but at this moment, after all, it is not comparable to his day, the heavens are damned, and there is no martial arts realm, and there is no cultivation for the Tao, not only did he not perceive the curse, but he resisted and passed on without hurting himself in time, and took the already honest eight-phase dragon python to take the opportunity to fight back?

The more you think about it, the more this should be the case.

Zhao Que sighed helplessly.

This result is all due to the fact that he thinks he has obtained a shortcut to the sheep's intestines, and he can't complain about others.

The butler of the Assassin's Mansion knocked on the door.

Cui Yuan opened.

"General, you have a letter. ”

Zhao Que put away the cold-blooded meditation and said strangely: "Who sent it?"

"A man, left behind by us, is eating with the food prepared by the Assassin Mansion. ”

Zhao Que took the letter.

Cui Yuan and Ji Yue were also puzzled.

At this time, who will write to the general?

Unfold the crumpled letter paper.

Zhao Que hurriedly read it, and then read it seriously.

I saw the general's frowning brow.

The two couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

Zhao Que handed the letter to the two.

After Ji Yue looked at it, he was shocked.

Zhao Que walked out of the door directly, and said as he walked: "Take me to see the man who delivered the letter." ”

The housekeeper hurried up and took Zhao Que into a room.

After repeated inquiries.

The man honestly described the appearance of Yu Shan and Sun Cang with full attention.

The housekeeper was considerate, and recruited a painter from the house to draw the faces of the two on paper.

Zhao Que looked at the portrait and became more and more puzzled, he had never seen the two of them, how could he write directly to the trustee and give it to him.

And the content of the letter is about Wei Ke.
