"Hurry up. Xiao Shizhu hurriedly picked up the old man's soul, and told the hundred households: "Untie their shackles and settle them well." ”。 After speaking, he said to the old man, "Old man, go with my hundred households, and he will give you food and drink." ”。

After a while, seeing the backs of the souls who had thanked him for a thousand times before they were reluctant to leave with the hundred households, Xiao Shizhu turned his head to look at the iron shackles on the ground again, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Xiao Shizhu looked at Hu Hui and Lu Wu, and thoughtfully expressed the question in his heart: "It's strange, Emperor Xudu is so unrighteous and helpless, and he can still sit firmly in the country for thousands of years?" The anger in his eyes did not decrease, but increased.

"First, because he is a god and has no ghosts, and secondly, because these acts that he acquiesces in are carried out by the princes and kings, and the resentment of the people of the underworld is concentrated on the princes and kings. ”。 The ghost captive, who had been silent, sat on the ground on the edge of the square, quietly watching his every move, and suddenly spoke: "Didn't I also get cheated by him back then?" The ink killer originally wanted to cater to him and reduce the ghost kingdom's tribute to the Xudu regime, but he never thought that not only did it not decrease much, but also attracted the hatred of the ink people. ”。 As he spoke, the ghost's face showed helplessness. After speaking, there was a lament.

"Oh, our stunned young people will also reflect. Xiao Shizhu turned his head, looked at him with interest and smiled: "I heard that in ancient times, you also killed a lot of souls with the evil gods, I thought you were only good at killing?"

"The general should not laugh at the old man, he was young and ignorant at that time, and now that I think about it, the field I have fallen to today may be made by the evil of the past. The ghost captives also smiled and said sincerely: "When I was defeated, I was indeed unwilling and angry. But I'm following you, and seeing what you've done, I feel like I really have a lot to learn from you. ”。

"Thou art cunning, fierce, and unrelenting in thy enemies. After thinking for a while, the ghost captivate said, "But you are merciful, and you are considerate of the people in everything. You only suppress the powerful but don't attack the civilians, you can know how to make good use of people, even if the other party is your enemy, as long as you are talented, you can arrange him to a suitable position after surrendering to you. The only bad thing is that you like to gamble, you drool when you see beautiful women, you are still a foodie, and the ministers and generals are always giggling, there is no righteousness, and there is no appearance of a general. ”。

"I have to think about what you say, whether you praise me or hurt me. Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently when he heard this, then straightened his face again, and asked Lu Wu: "Lu Wu, according to the military regulations of the Xiao family, how to punish insulting his companions?"

"The subordinates insulted the superiors for no reason and fined one or two silvers. Lu Wu said without thinking: "The superior insulted the subordinate for no reason, and he was fined ten taels of gold." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu had already walked in front of the ghost captive and stood still, stretched out his hand without hesitation, and blurted out: "You are a subordinate who dares to insult me, a superior, take the money!"

"Is it really a punishment?" The ghost captive widened his eyes, looked at his serious expression, and asked in a daze, "Who is this to break the military rules?" He couldn't understand that this Xiao Shizhu was still smiling one second ago, why did he change his face the next second?

"I, you Xiao Ye decided!" Xiao Shizhu held his head high and said proudly: "For the sake of unity; this kind of trivial beating and scolding and corporal punishment is easy to make the parties not have a long memory, and it is easy to attract hatred, so they can only be fined." Whether it is the underworld or the human world, people die for money, birds die for food, and once you break your wealth, you can teach the person concerned to be obedient. ”。 But he didn't retract his hand for a long time.

The ghost smiled helplessly, shook his head, and then took out a tael of silver from his arms and gently placed it in his hand. If he is no longer the king, his income will only be the monthly salary, and the broken silver in his arms will become his last belongings. But Xiao Shizhu said a few words, and he scraped away one or two, which made the ghost very uncomfortable. But he was stupid and couldn't pick out Xiao Shizhu's thorns, which made him sweat profusely for a while.

Xiao Shizhu took advantage of the fact that he hadn't been able to withdraw his hand, and stuffed the silver into his hand with his backhand, and then took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the ghost captive.

"You're rewarded. Xiao Shizhu glanced at the shocked look of the ghost captive, put away the arrogant demeanor just now, and said with a smile: "Speak bluntly, and tell me a few of my shortcomings with a straight shot; As for whether to change it or not, that's my business, but if you speak out, you should be rewarded. Take it to the bar. ”。

"Looks like I've got a lot of problems. In the stunned daze of the ghosts, Xiao Shizhu turned around, raised his hands behind his head, and walked towards Hu Hui, and said with a smile: "In the future, anyone who points out my shortcomings to my face, as long as it is right, will be rewarded." ”。 There was always a happy look on his face.

"If you have money, then I'll be blunt. Hu Hui looked at him with a smile and thought for a while: "As the commander-in-chief, the general should stay with the Chinese army and command the overall situation; how can he rush into the enemy formation with dozens of soldiers? He was talking about Xiao Shizhu, who took the lead in rushing into the north of the city last night.

"Reward, Lao Tzu rewards you with a big mouth. Xiao Shizhu snorted lightly and said in a deep voice: "You guys are killing in front, put me in the back and watch, is it appropriate?" After finishing speaking, he smiled again, hugged Hu Hui and said: "But you performed well this time, and you have done everything I have explained in a short period of time; I've already thought about it, I'll give you a reward or something when I go back, and I have to give you an official to do it. Keep working hard, maybe one day you and Lu Wu will be in and out of the picture. Saying that, he turned his head to look at Lu Wu and smiled slightly, but patted Hu Hui's shoulder heavily.

"Then thank you for the promotion. After Hu replied with a thank-you, he said: "But I really found a talent in this operation, we infiltrated into Danshui City, where we lived, and what we dressed to not be suspicious, all of them took his advice." General, aren't you looking for talents? Why don't I let him come and let you meet him?"

Xiao Shizhu nodded his head without hesitation, and Hu Hui was ordered to leave. After a while, he walked back with a young human soul and stood in front of Xiao Shizhu.

"What's your name?" Xiao Shizhu carefully looked at the soul of this person who was saluting him, but saw that this soul was not tall, his facial features were upright set on his white square face, under a pair of eight-character eyebrows, with a little indifference and cleverness in his clear eyes, he slowly asked: "What did you do when you were alive? Where was it when you were an ink artist in the underworld?"

"According to the head of Islam, the little one's name is Wuqiu Shou, and he was a catcher in the yamen before his death. After dying in the line of duty, he came to the underworld and was secretly recruited into the Mo family by Mo Zhai. After the young soul gave him another salute, his face was not frightened or nervous, and he said unhurriedly: "Later, he was arranged by the ghost mother's domestic servant Ah Fu to be in Songtao City on the side of Songtao Port on Shuoyue Island, and he was a guy in a grocery store. In order to one day, when the Mo family seized Shuoyue Island, they could cause large-scale destruction in Songtao City, so that the inside and outside should join forces to capture Songtao City. ”。 Between the eyebrows, there is a bit of calmness and calmness.

After listening carefully to what he said, Xiao Shizhu asked thoughtfully: "Then why don't you like some ink masters, who would rather die than give in?" In my heart, I was very satisfied with the performance of this soul.

"They are stones, hard and stubborn, knowing that Mo Zhai can do anything for his own selfish desires, but they are still stupid and loyal to him, and I am not a stone, I am not stubborn. After thinking for a while, Wu Qiu Shou looked at Xiao Shizhu's eyes shouting with interest, and replied: "And I don't like some of Mo Zhai's style of acting, there are too many heavy punishments and merits but no rewards, if you are useful to him, you will be given a good mouth, and those who don't have much effect will be blinded by him, as if everyone should work for him for free." Although the efficiency of the Moji has greatly improved as a result, the entire organization has also become immoral. ”。 is just a few short sentences, not only expressing his dissatisfaction with Mo Zhai, but also explaining for Xiao Shizhu how powerful and selfish Mo Zhai is.

After listening patiently, Xiao Shizhu bowed his head slightly, and asked curiously: "You said that those ink people who are stupid and loyal to Mo Zhai are stones, so what are you?"

"I am water. After thinking for a moment, Wu Qiu Shou's confident gaze met Xiao Shizhu's gaze at him, and replied proudly: "I am homeopathic, I seem to be weak but can wear stones." It is also a good bird, and it will choose trees to perch on. ”。 At once, he not only explained his merits, but also showed his loyalty.

"Hahaha. Therefore, Xiao Shizhu did not feel disgusted by his boasting as soon as he came up, but laughed a few times and praised: "This is the most compelling boast I have ever heard since I came to the underworld." I thought this was my forte, but I didn't expect you to be better than me. I said you're so powerful, why don't you go to heaven?". The mood is even happier.

Wu Qiu Shou's analytical ability is not weak, but he can also speak and speak, and Xiao Shizhu has a good impression of him. He felt that compared to the old ministers who opened their mouths and closed their mouths in the court, Wu Qiu Shou was much more interesting.

"Okay Wu Qiu Shou, I admit that you are indeed a human soul who can speak, and a human soul with good analytical and insightful skills. Since you were recommended by Hu Hui, I plan to give you an official job, but before you officially go to work, I still have to ask you an interview interview and ask you a few questions. Xiao Shizhu put away his smile, looked at him and asked seriously: "The head country will be ours soon, but its southwest side is connected to the enemy country Gonggong country, and the warships of the Gonggong country can reach Danshui City in one day along the river connecting the two countries, and the speed is extremely fast." If the Communists suddenly attack, how can they defend themselves?".
