It wasn't until Zhao Ying's team, accompanied by the county guard Wu Rui and others, passed by under the restaurant that they slowly withdrew their gaze.

"Mr. Tang, are we just watching and doing nothing?"

The burly man had a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

The old man on the other side, known as Mr. Tang, glanced at him lightly and said lightly.

"Or else?"

The burly man was stunned when he heard this, and immediately blushed and said.

"Although Qing is not as good as Mr., he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is willing to follow the example of Mr. back then, hold the sword in his hand, go to the place of death, and bleed five steps with him——"

The old man, known as Mr. Tang, smiled noncommittally when he heard this.

"It's not that I despise you, but the eldest grandson of the emperor today, is not the king of Qin back then, it is rumored that he can carry the tripod, hand-to-hand fighting bears, and has the courage of ten thousand people, some time ago, there were rumors of mountain bandits who fled from Jinji Mountain, this person can lift thousands of catties of boulders, do you think you have a chance......"

The burly man looked stunned for a moment, and then lifted the wine jug and filled a glass to the old man who was called Mr. Tang opposite, and then smiled.

"The rumors in the world, there are many exaggerations, I like to spread false rumors the most, people are flesh and blood, and they are not monsters, how can they lift thousands of pounds of boulders, Mr. when, just like ordinary people, I believe that the rumors are ......"

The man who was called Qing before the meeting was a little unimpressed. The old man, known as Mr. Tang, shook his head with a straight face.

"The so-called heaven outside the sky, there are people outside the world, there are many strange people in the world, we ourselves are shallow, what we can't do, how dare we rely on our own subjective assumptions, and easily assert that others can't do it?"

Seeing the man, there was some disbelief on his face, and the old man surnamed Tang couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Do you think what I just said is really a rumor?"

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but look stunned, and his face showed an incredible look.

"Sir, ......"

The old man surnamed Tang nodded slowly.

"I personally rushed to Jinji Mountain, checked the boulder at the bottom of the mountain, and also found the mountain bandit who was lucky enough to escape that day, and personally verified that the one really lifted the boulder weighing thousands of catties in public with both hands......"

When the strong man heard this, he was still conceited and brave, but at this time, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and he was a little lost in his soul for a long time.

"There are such monsters in the world, no wonder Jing Gongzi's swordsmanship is outstanding, and he is a hero in the world, but he has not been able to make meritorious contributions - isn't this the Heavenly Immortal Great Qin?"

The old man drank silently, and it took a long time to get up.

"The world should be inappropriate, the world can do something but not do, the king of Wei treats me as a national soldier, I should repay him as a national soldier, and now I will do my best to obey the destiny of heaven......"

When the burly man heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.

Zhao Ying didn't know that just now in the restaurant he passed, there were still people thinking about whether to make a move on him.

Of course, probably even if you know, you probably won't care much, in this world, there are more people who want to die, not worse than these two. If you don't come out, it's just a matter of pinching it to death.

Three thousand Praetorian Guards were arranged to the military academy in Lujiang County.

The two hundred soldiers followed the emperor's eldest grandson into the county guard's mansion, and then naturally took over the guard work of the county guard's mansion.

in the hall.

Zhao Ying sat on the main seat without concessions, and the county guard Wu Rui and others accompanied him on the left and right.

"These people are all the sages of my Lujiang County, and I heard that His Royal Highness is coming from afar, so I came to greet and greet you."

After Wu Rui and Zhao Ying exchanged a few polite words, they specially introduced Zhou Zhao and Du Yi to Zhao Ying. Zhou Zhao and Du Xi and the others had been waiting for this for a long time, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, stepped forward together, and bowed down.

"I heard that the eldest grandson of the emperor went all the way south, and wherever he passed, he encouraged agriculture and mulberry, cleared up bandits, and established charity halls in various places to help the people, implement free schools, educate the people, be benevolent and benevolent, and the world will see it. We are so grateful for His Highness's love for the people, and we have joined forces to raise millions of dollars to help His Highness......"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he got up with a smile, personally helped up Zhou Zhao and Du Xi, who were standing in front, and stretched out his hand to help the few people behind them.

"I have always heard that the sages of Lujiang County are well aware of righteousness, and often have good deeds and good deeds to help the poor.

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying looked around at everyone and solemnly bowed.

"On behalf of the people of Lujiang County, I thank you in advance. Later, I will have people erect a monument here to commend you for your righteous deeds......"

"Don't dare to be praised by His Royal Highness, this is just a little bit of our heart......"

Zhou Zhao and Du Xi and others returned the salute one after another.

With this incident, the atmosphere of everyone in the hall suddenly became much warmer. At noon on the same day, Wu Rui, the county guard, held a banquet in the mansion to entertain His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson and his party, as well as the family of squires in Lujiang County who "understood the righteousness".

At the banquet, pushing the glass and changing the lamp is quite happy.

In the backyard specially vacated by Wu Rui, the county guard, for the emperor's eldest grandson, Ah Nu looked at her senior brother with some curiosity.

"Senior brother, I don't like this kind of banquet the most on weekdays, why don't you go out to eat with Your Highness, but hide here, sullen......"

Where did Xiaoyaosheng dare to tell his junior sister that he had gone out to do a big deal in the past few days, and if he went out and was recognized, he would be hammered to death on the spot. I could only smile dryly and wave my hand, and forked.

"Senior brother hasn't seen you for many days, I just want to accompany you more - you can tell senior brother, did His Royal Highness the Emperor take the opportunity to bully you during my absence......"

"Senior Brother......

With a word, Xiaoyaosheng asked Ah Nu with a big red face, and said a little coquettishly.

Escape: ......

No, I've been out for a few days, and you've really been bullied!

"Not ......"

Xiaoyaosheng finished talking halfway, and then intercepted it violently, and was depressed for a long time before he became angry and ruined the tunnel.

"You stupid girl-no, I have to go to him and ask for an explanation, I can't let you follow him so inexplicably, without even a name......"

Woman: ......

A pink face almost dripping blood.

"Senior brother!"

Some wanted to explain that things were not as he imagined, but this kind of thing didn't know where to start for a while.

In the past few days, the eldest grandson of the emperor has indeed "bullied" her, tossed her when she had nothing to do, let her pinch her shoulders and beat her back, serve tea and pour water, and use her as a maid, but this kind of bullying seems to be a little different from the kind of bullying that her senior brother said......

The two brothers and sisters were eating in the backyard while arguing, when they suddenly heard a light footstep outside, and then Xu Cheng's familiar voice came from outside.

"Girl-"

When Ah Nu heard this, she immediately left her senior brother and greeted her with a happy expression.

"Sister Xu, why are you here, I was about to go out to find you......"

As he spoke, he had already intimately hugged Xu Ying's arm.

At this time, Xu Cheng was just as if he had just discovered Xiaoyaosheng, and he was slightly blessed with Xiaoyaosheng inside.

"The gentleman turned out to be ...... too"

Xiaoyaosheng hurriedly got up and saluted, I don't know why, in front of this extremely beautiful girl, he always felt that he had a feeling of having nothing to hide, and there was an indescribable panic in his heart.

"I've seen Miss Xu......"

Xu Cheng glanced at him, a hint of surprise seemed to flash in his eyes, and he retracted his gaze, looked at the girl who was holding his arm, and invited with a smile.

"The girl has already eaten, do you want to go out for a walk together and see the scenery of Lujiang County......

It wasn't until his own junior sister followed Xu Cheng out of the yard that Xiaoyaosheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure to be with that Xu girl was too much. He looked at the food in front of him, and then listened to the faint sound of silk and bamboo drinking and feasting from the courtyard in front of him, and immediately felt that the taste was like chewing wax.

……

The eldest grandson of the emperor is sure to keep his word.

The next day, he told the accompanying officials to record the righteous deeds of these wealthy families in Lujiang County, on the one hand, to ask for merit from the imperial court, and on the other hand, let people set up a monument to praise their actions of understanding the righteousness.

Although in his bones, he hated to take advantage of this opportunity to sweep away the entire wealthy family in Jiangnan and completely eradicate the hidden dangers, but he also knew that this kind of thing could not be done again.

Governing the world is not about fighting the world.

When fighting the world, you can take advantage of the chaos to sweep away these tumors that are entrenched in the place, but when you govern the world, you need both grace and power, and you can't rely too much on killing.

If you still do this in Lujiang County, don't care what banner you are waving, and no matter whose name you borrow, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide from the eyes of the world.

A tyrannical and murderous name really can't escape.

It is not conducive to their subsequent development.

On the contrary, if this group of people can be tied to their chariots and become the "role models" of the wealthy families in Chudi, then these people will become the key to priing open the iron plate of Chudi.

How to pry it open?

Of course, it's a big tribute to their righteous deeds.

They openly expressed their allegiance and support for themselves, and they did not hesitate to commend them, and then promoted the children of their families, even if they still had any small calculations in their hearts, it was useless, and they would inevitably be rejected by the Zhuqin Alliance, or even hostile.

As for the future, will it be self-defeating and make them more entrenched in Lujiang?

A wealthy family independent of the imperial court may be able to disobey Tui'en, but there are already family children who have joined the imperial court, so there is no need to think about it.

Even if the court does not come forward to investigate, those concubines who have the right to speak in the court will not willingly hand over the huge family to those sons-in-law who are nothing.

That's human nature.

In the following period, Zhao Ying, with his entourage of officials, as well as the young children who had just been transferred from the major wealthy families, with the cooperation of Lujiang County, established a charity hall in Lujiang County in a hurry, implemented free education, persuaded agriculture and mulberry, built water conservancy, and promoted the Daqin version of Henan Opera.

……

Lujiang County.

The backyard of the Zhou family.

All the servants were driven out, and in the study, the head of the house, Zhou Zhao, personally carried tea and received two distinguished guests from afar.

"Mr. Tang, what do you mean here......

Zhou Zhao looked at the old man in front of him calmly, and the burly man beside the old man, who was a master in the army at a glance.

The old man was silent for a long time, then stared at the teacup in front of him and said slowly.

"Master Zhou, do you really want to change the court and take refuge in Tyranny Qin?"

Zhou Zhao was silent for a long time.

"Sir is a famous man in the world, with a high vision, please teach me ......"

When the old man surnamed Tang heard this, he shook his head gently.

"The master of the Zhou family is a wise man in the world, how can he not see the danger he is currently facing? The eldest grandson of the emperor seemed to be quite friendly to the Lujiang scholars, but in fact, he harbored evil intentions. For the young children in many families, there are also many simple pulls, but how many of the selected disciples are the sons of the family? In the long run, there will be trouble......"

Zhou Zhao smiled bitterly.

"We also have to do it, a few days ago, we were warned by a master, if not, I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster in Lujiang County......"

When the old man surnamed Tang heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"A warning from a master? Who can convince you so much? ”

Zhou Zhao said slowly.

"This person is known as a half-immortal, with a straight iron mouth, and can speak of people's blessings and misfortunes, we saw with our own eyes at that time, in order to solve the bloody disaster of Lujiang County, within one day, his head was full of green silk and turned into white hair......"

When the old man surnamed Tang heard this, his dry palm couldn't help but stagnate slightly, and he put down the tea bowl in his hand.

"Although I have never seen or heard of it, but over the years, I have also dabbled in medical divination and astrology, and I have also sat down with the old man of Huangshi to discuss, how have I ever heard the truth that cracking the calamity will be white-headed in one day? I guess there's something strange about it! ”

Zhou Zhao looked at the old man in front of him and hesitated.

"And what we saw at the time, how should we explain it?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhao's face was a little embarrassed.

What's more, Changsha County Yinjian is not far away, and the old man must not let the family's hundreds of years of inheritance be ruined in his own hands. With this monument erected by the imperial court, if the imperial court wants to move us again, it has to consider the material discussion of the government and the opposition......"

The old man surnamed Tang couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw that Zhou Zhao seemed to have made up his mind.

"Since the head of the Zhou family has already made a decision in his heart, the old man will not say anything more and will leave here......"

After speaking, he took the strong man beside him and drifted away.

"Father, since we have already decided to help the emperor's eldest grandson, why don't we ...... them?"

Looking at the figure of the old man surnamed Tang in the distance, Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and made a downward grabbing action, Zhou Zhao looked at his stupid son, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Do you want our Zhou family to isolate themselves from the Chu people?"

Speaking of which, he still couldn't bear to continue to blame his unsuccessful son after all, explaining.

"Remember, now, we are helping that emperor's eldest grandson only because of the mandate of heaven, just because we have no choice but to do it, it's not that our Zhou family doesn't miss the old love and doesn't care about kindness!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhao couldn't help but put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and sighed softly.

"As for the future—"

"Wait and see!"
