Chapter 188: The world is like a dark night, and my body is like a beacon

Served the meal.

Zhao Que took the folded silk handed over by the maid and wiped the oil and water from the corner of his mouth.

The so-called following the customs of the locals is also applicable to entering the courtyard of the Shen family, and following the lifestyle of the Shen family.

Since there is no barrier between Shen Changle and Zhao Que.

He said everything about Zhao Daring and others without concealment.

Zhao Que is used to seeing dead people.

Don't say that Zhoujiazhuang was looted by Zhao Daring, what about the human flesh grinding plate outside Jinlu City in Nanyangzhou?

Such a tragic act almost shook the almost perfect state of mind that he had honed on the battlefield.

Now this year, after all, is different from the past.

The joys and sorrows of the people of Zhoujiazhuang, a Zhuangzi, are still insignificant compared with all the people of Yukangcheng.

What's more, even if he helped the people of Zhoujiazhuang avenge and destroy the Shen family, without Yu Kangcheng of the Shen family, the lives of the people would be even more stormy.

Zhao Daring said that the Shen family was extremely ambitious, and it was right.

Shen Changle's words revealed that he not only wanted to be the king of Yu Kangcheng, but also to climb to the peak of power in the world to see the scenery.

Although Zhao Que was not optimistic about the Shen family, but with the people of Yu Kangcheng, he had to place some expectations on the Shen family.

This place has been run by the Shen family from generation to generation, and it is inseparable from them no matter what.

What Zhao Que lacks most at the moment is time, he wants to get rid of the Shen family, and then reorganize the original order of Yu Kangcheng, I am afraid it is beyond his power.

Even stepping into the Shen family and reasoning with his fists, he still relied on the opportunity he got from Chang Xiu Mountain, the feng shui luck in his body, and Zhao Que's current strength, he didn't know at all when and when he would be devoured by the eight-phase dragon python and backfire on him again.

In order to squeeze out time, rush to Meitang Prefecture, find Shen Shenyi, and then find Wei Ke, he has already thought of the most reasonable solution at the moment, and did it according to his expectations.

Shen Changle smiled.

Even if the second brother and the housekeeper Lao Wu were seriously injured by Zhao Que and had to recuperate on the bed for a long time, with Mr. Zhao's heart-to-heart strategy, Shen Changle still thought that the Shen family had made a lot of money.

Although the foundation accumulated by the Shen family for generations is not as good as those of those big families, it is enough to stabilize the city of Yukang City and then seek more room for development.

Although Shen Changle's heart was not fully prepared, he also did not know that once this matter started, it would be like a bottomless pit, devouring the Shen family's accumulated money and food.

He took Zhao Que to wander around the Shen family.

Carved beams and painted buildings, antique.

The landscapes built in many places in the Shen family, even with Zhao Que's knowledge, are still breathtaking.

Such an exquisite scenery is by no means something that can be obtained overnight, but it requires several generations of the Shen family to slowly polish and improve it before there will be a day of great success.

"Mr. Zhao, the family style of the Shen family, you must rest assured, but all the descendants of the descendants have made Mr. Private School doubly strict discipline, but it is a side branch, because the Shen family has been spreading too many branches and leaves for so many years, it can't be managed much, Shen Yongchun who went to Liujiazhuang to invite you here, is the side branch of the Shen family, the vein where he is located, he is not familiar with it, no matter how much I give Shen Yongchun patient preaching, he is regarded as a side wind, in turn, I ask for benefits, and after giving benefits, I am regarded as not giving ......"

Zhao Que looked at the rockery stone screen in the back garden, and asked with a smile: "In that case, why did you let Shen Yongchun go to Liujiazhuang to find me?"

"Hehe, I hope Mr. Zhao forgives, Shen Yongchun is not a good person, he still has some qualifications, besides, although his official position in the government is not high, he is a real power, and he knows how to unite the brothers around him, so a group of heroes are attached to him, and it is estimated that there are three hundred people, among these people, there are all kinds of people, and there are many outlaws, and the combat power is also compared with Yu Kangcheng's official army. ”

Zhao Que smiled: "Actually, Master Shen was worried that Zhao would not obey his fate, so he specially asked the elite of your subordinates to bring me, is it that when Master Shen instructed Shen Yongchun, he specially said, Zhao someone can come to you, whether he lives or dies?!"

Shen Changle had no choice but to be honest: "Mr. Zhao is young, he is really talented, and the old housekeeper of the Shen family can guess Shen Yongchun's instructions at a glance. ”

Zhao Que smiled again and said disapprehantly: "Shen Yongchun is ambitious, at the critical moment, you still need to be careful." ”

"Mr. Zhao didn't know, if it weren't for the fact that there was a person who could fight two or three hundred under this person's hand, and let him stay honestly early in the morning, Shen Yongchun's ambition would not be more than ambitious, he thought I didn't know, he wanted to replace him, and change his vein to become the Shen family's descendant. Shen Changle said disdainfully.

As the head of the Shen family, Yu Kangcheng is the only one, Shen Yongchun's thoughts, of course, can't hide from him, and even Shen Yongchun secretly planted the spy into the Shen family, Shen Changle knows everything in detail, but he has the right to be the slightest bit unclear, since Shen Yongchun wants to play big, he is enough to squeeze all the value of Shen Yongchun, and then sweep it away, and others can't say a few good words for Shen Yongchun.

Zhao Que turned his head to look at Shen Changle, and bowed his head: "He is a person with the qualifications of a hero." ”

"Those heroes who are known in the world are just chickens and dogs in front of Mr. Zhao. Shen Changle arched his hand.

Get out of this yard.

Goodbye to a wonderfully built pavilion.

Divert water to the top of the pavilion.

Then let the water flow from the top of the pavilion in all directions, like a spring rain.

Zhao Que pointed to the pavilion and asked, "Do you have a name?"

"Yes, the rain curtain pavilion was built by the grandfather under it, and later the head of the house checked the account book of the year, and the skilled craftsmen invited for this pavilion cost a lot of money. ”

"When you became the head of the Shen family, you didn't build any landscape?" Zhao Que asked rhetorically.

Shen Changle shook his head: "In the next, I am more lustful, but I know moderation, so in addition to the woman who is marrying Ming Media, there are four maids who are sleeping in the bed." ”

"Why don't you take them as concubines?"

"Mr. Zhao, not to mention the four maids who are in the bed, just my wife, the mind is very comparable, when it should be ruthless, don't say that it is the younger brother under me, even I can kill, and those four maids have all been bought by Mrs., once they are given a name, I am afraid that they will live by the side of the femme fatale all the year round, and the longevity will be greatly shortened. ”

By Zhao Que's side, there was nothing that could not be said.

Shen Changle directly told his private affairs and discernment.

"Oh, the lady under is called Xu Qiaolan, the young lady of the Xu family, a wealthy family in Yu Kangcheng. ”

Zhao Que smiled and said, "Since you know who they are, why does Master Shen still keep them by your side? Isn't it a hidden danger?"

"Usually the people in the market, I don't want to marry their daughters, and I thought, these women marrying ordinary people is also unfortunate, it is better to stay by my side, always be on guard, forgive them and they will not be able to turn over any storms. ”

Zhao Que smiled: "You swear so much, do you hold their dead holes?!"

Shen Changle laughed: "I really can't hide anything from Mr. Zhao, yes, I can rest assured that I can leave them in the back house of the Shen family to make waves, naturally I have their handles tightly in my hands." ”

If it is convenient, I will talk to Zhao Mou, and Zhao Mou has always been powerless to treat women. Zhao Que said.

Shen Changle was suddenly a little embarrassed, and touched his nose: "I treat Mr. Zhao as my own, these words are not impossible to say, first talk about my wife, and then I can leave her at any time, so I ...... arranged for the second brother to have an affair with her. ”

Zhao Que was stunned for a moment.

He really expected that Shen Changle would be so ruthless.

Without waiting for Zhao Que to speak, he added: "If it were my wife, the city government would be deeper and more thoughtful, but she would abide by the moral rules, and she might be able to cultivate her as a right-hand man, however, Mrs. did not have a little shame, not only obeyed the second brother, but also had an indescribable relationship with my four maids."

This is one.

The second is that the four maids rely on their intimacy with Zaixia, and often advance money from the account room, and the money must be in and out of their hands, and they have ordered the bookkeeper to list the money they collected in an account book, and wait for the four of them to do something out of the ordinary, and show the account book in the next place, and punish them reasonably. ”

Zhao Que shook his head and smiled bitterly, what is this?

"Say no more. ”

"Everything is up to you, sir. ”

"Yes, tomorrow I will leave for Meitang Prefecture, you and prepare good horse dry food for me, the thin horse I brought in, if the Shen family is willing to feed it well, Zhao will leave it, after all, the thin horse has accompanied the way, if you don't find a good home for it, you can't stop its hard work." ”

The jujube red thin horse accompanied Zhao Que all the way and listened to him nagging all the way.

Shen Changle clenched his fists: "Mr. Zhao, please rest assured, if the thin horse stays in the Shen family, it will definitely be fed fat and strong, and it will definitely be adopted in the next day, and wait to see Mr. Zhao again in the next day, and return it to Zhao." ”

Zhao Que also clenched his fists: "Thank you." ”

"What Mr. Zhao said, you pointed out a clear path for the Shen family, doing this little thing is really what you should do. Shen Changle said.

Zhao Que nodded: "Let's go, take a look at your second brother." ”

"Sir, please come with me. Shen Changle asked.

The Shen family is really big.

Through the porch, I entered a room.

Four or five doctors sat in front of Shen Changjing's bed, burying their heads in writing prescriptions.

Although Shen Changjing was seriously injured, his spirit was excellent.

I heard that Zhao Que was invited by his eldest brother to have a meal, and he pushed the cup to change the lamp during the banquet, and he understood that this matter was done.

When Zhao Que entered the house.

Shen Changjing hurriedly stood up and was about to get up.

Shen Changle couldn't bear to say: "Mr. Zhao is a sensible person, since the second brother is injured, he should lie down and don't salute." ”

Shen Changjing shook his head: "The difference between what the eldest brother said is precisely because Mr. Zhao is a reasonable person, that the second brother has to drag the injured body and make a big salute." ”

The maid hurriedly went to help him.

Shen Changjing looked towards Zhao Que and respectfully bowed three times and bowed nine times.

The injury was involved, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Wipe clean.

Until he bowed three times and knocked nine times, Zhao Que came to help, and Shen Changjing returned to the bed.

"Sir, the matter of Zhoujiazhuang, the eldest brother must have confessed to you, as the second person of the Shen family, he must personally apologize for the victims' families of Zhoujiazhuang on behalf of the Shen family, Shen Changjing did what he said!"

Shen Changle nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Changjing looked at the bastard, more scoundrel than a scoundrel in the market, but when he encountered serious things, it definitely reassured him.

At the moment, there are still some people in the Shen family who think that there is disagreement between the brothers, how do they know that all the major affairs of the Shen family are discussed by the two brothers.

Even if Shen Changjing went to seduce his sister-in-law, it was Shen Changle who discussed it with him a few times, and Shen Changjing reluctantly agreed.

The second head of the Shen family, if he wants to enjoy the warm fragrance of nephrite, there must be a lot of beautiful women waiting for him to be lucky, how could he eat the heart of a bear and seduce his sister-in-law, such a unethical event, if it weren't for Shen Changle forcing him to agree, Shen Changjing would never have done it.

Despite this, the Shen family has done a lot of evil things in Yu Kangcheng.

You can't just see the bright side of the Shen family and ignore the dark side that ordinary people can't see.

Chatted a few words.

Zhao Que's hand, of course he knew how heavy Shen Changjing's injury was......

Out the door.

Shen Changle was by his side.

He said: "It's a pity to go to Yukangcheng and not go to see the fireworks in the market." ”

"Accompany Mr. Zhao below. ”

He shook his head: "No need, it's enough for me to be alone." ”

After speaking.

Got rid of Shen Changle and strode out of the Shen family's courtyard.

The smell of fireworks in Yu Kangcheng is extremely strong.

Seeing with his own eyes, the Shen family did not treat the people badly.

No matter how many things that Qiao Haohao took away that originally belonged to them, the Shen family still left enough resources for the people to live.

Moreover, Zhao Que saw the longing and hope for tomorrow from the faces of the people.

This is not ordinary.

A good day is a good day.

I walked through the street market and saw the alleys.

The lights are approaching.

He returned to the Shen family.

Shen Changle put on a banquet again, and called Xu Qiaolan to pour wine for Zhao Que.

He didn't look at Xu Qiaolan, who seemed to be beautiful and honest, but just talked and laughed with Shen Changle.

Meal.

Shen Changle arranged a room.

Originally, there were two maids who were sleeping, and Shen Changle told him mysteriously that these two maids were absolutely pure, and he hoped that Mr. Zhao could have a good time.

Zhao Que declined.

Shen Changle's face was full of pity.

Return to the bedroom prepared for it.

There was already a tub waiting for him.

Piping hot.

Wash your body carefully.

I just put on a piece of clothing to cover my body.

There were four women, pushing the door in, smiling lightly and giving a blessing.

Carry the tub out together.

Wait until your body is dry.

Blow out the lights.

Lie under the covers.

The body is warm.

Zhao Que closed his eyes, but he couldn't sleep.

He really wasn't used to such a comfortable day.

However, once it has been too long, he believes that he will be addicted to it and unable to extricate himself, and if he is allowed to go to the battlefield, there will definitely be rejection in his heart.

It is no wonder that there are so many famous generals, after being in high positions, who would rather live a comfortable life than go to the battlefield again to make great achievements.

Who doesn't aspire to stay away from life and death and live a carefree life?

"Mr. Zhao?!Are you asleep?"

Zhao Que lifted the thick and light futon and put on his coat.

Shen Changle prepared enough clothes for him, and he accepted them all, not in vain.

Open the door.

The old housekeeper Lao Wu's face was pale by the light of the stars and the moon, he coughed a few times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Lao Wu has a few words to say to Mr. Zhao." ”

"Please come in. ”

Zhao Que turned sideways.

Lao Wu was a little more injured than Shen Changjing.

Holding on to the door frame, after entering the house with difficulty, he said: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, the master has rested early, and I have already taken care of the Shen family, even if someone sees me looking for Mr. Zhao, they will rot this matter in their stomachs." ”

Zhao Que frowned.

The old butler's opening remarks were unexpected, and it seemed that what he said next was unusual.

"Mr. Zhao, Shen Jiashan started as a bandit......"

Zhao Que was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Although the people of Yu Kangcheng will have a better life, when the Shen family goes out to fight for the world, it will be the people of other places who will suffer. ”

After thinking about it, Lao Wu thought about it in every way, and still slowly said the words in his heart.

"Sir, the Shen family has the blood of mountain bandits in their bones, and the mud mountain was chosen as Zhao Daring's bandit village, in fact, it was not simply chosen by Zhao Daring alone, but by Shen Changjing and Zhao Daring together!"

Zhao Que smiled and asked, "You are the housekeeper of the Shen family, if you say this kind of thing to Zhao, are you afraid that Master Shen will find out and kill you?"

"Hey, it's not that Lao Wu is arrogant, the current Shen family can't do without me, if I die, Shen Changle and Shen Changjing will be at a loss for the Shen family's underground business, to put it bluntly, the Shen family's black cauldron is all on my back. ”

Zhao Que bowed his head, the Shen family monopolized Yu Kangcheng's black and white business, it was normal, after all, one family was dominant.

Seeing that Zhao Que was silent, the old housekeeper continued: "Mr. Zhao, Lao Wu knows that you are a strange person in the world, and in your chest and abdomen, you have all kinds of plans and plans, but the heart is sinister, how sincere what the Shen family said in front of you, as soon as you leave, the Shen family will become so frustrated!"

Unless Mr. Zhao sits in charge of the Shen family and personally watches the Shen family fall on the chessboard!"

Zhao Que smiled and said, "Old housekeeper, where are you from?"

Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, "I am not from Yu Kangcheng, in previous years, my hometown suffered a locust plague, and I fled to this place, I have a little skill, I was favored by the Shen family, and I became a housekeeper step by step." ”

Zhao Que said: "Don't worry, old housekeeper, Shen Changle and Shen Changjing's words and expressions, Zhao Mou has all received them, and believes that they must be willing to pay a little price in order to make a big career." As for whether Zhao can stay in the Shen family, the answer is that Zhao still has many things on his body, and even if he wants to stay in the Shen family, he can't do it. ”

He said ambiguously, but from Zhao Que's words and expressions, the old housekeeper could see that Zhao Que believed that the Shen family would do what he said.

The old housekeeper sighed heavily: "Old Wu Yan is all here, Mr. Zhao's dry food will be ready early tomorrow morning, and the horses are also the best in Yu Kangcheng, as soon as Mr. Zhao leaves." ”

Zhao Que watched the old housekeeper open the door in despair, turned around and closed the door with difficulty, and gradually disappeared into the night.

Zhao Que sneered a few times, no longer bothered, returned to the bed, entered the bed, and forced himself to sleep.

said that the old housekeeper went out of the courtyard where Zhao Que lived.

Shen Changle and the injured Shen Changjing stepped out of the shadows in a hurry.

"Old Wu, what's wrong?"

The old housekeeper smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, two masters, Mr. Zhao really sincerely helps the Shen family." ”

"No, no, no, Lao Wu, you haven't seen it clearly, Mr. Zhao is helping the people of Yu Kangcheng. Shen Changjing smiled bitterly.

Shen Changle hurriedly asked what he cared about the most, and said, "Mr. Zhao's words, did you loosen your mouth, did you reveal a little bit of willingness to stay in the Shen family?!"

Lao Wu shook his head: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint the eldest master, Mr. Zhao is determined not to stay in the Shen family." ”

Shen Changle sighed and said: "If the Shen family is assisted by Mr. Zhao, it will not be able to compete in the world in the future, and the sword will kill the heroes, and the position of the co-lord of the world will be replaced by my Shen family." ”

Shen Changjing said: "Big brother, there's nothing else, I'll go back." ”

"Well, if your sister-in-law visits you, what she did in the past and still do. Shen Changle said lightly.

Shen Changjing sighed: "It's all up to the eldest brother. ”

On the contrary, the old housekeeper Lao Wu shuddered and looked at Shen Changle in horror.

Although he knew about this matter, Shen Changle never mentioned it to him.

Lao Wu also thought that Shen Changjing's fornication with Xu Qiaolan was his own desire, not a deliberate arrangement by Shen Changle.

Shen Changle looked at Lao Wu, whose face was getting paler and paler, walked to his side, and patted Lao Wu's shoulder: "From now on, the Shen family has to make all kinds of preparations, Lao Wu, not only is the burden on our brother's shoulders heavy, but the burden on your shoulders will not be much lighter than ours in the future." So, I'd like to let you know about some of my things. ”

After Shen Changjing left, Lao Wu asked tremblingly: "Since the master knows about this kind of thing, do you want to expel Xu Qiaolan from the Shen family?"

Old Wu Fang just said to Zhao Que.

The Shen family's dirty things are what he does.

Shen Changle said with a smile: "Lao Wu, you are my confidant, aside from the second brother, I trust you the most, about three days later, do this well, in addition, don't brush my second brother's face, everything is all done by that demon woman, oh, by the way, my four maids should also be replaced, publish the account book, and after Mr. Zhao leaves, sink them into the river to feed the fish." ”

"Master, will you do something amazing?" asked Lao Wu boldly.

Shen Changle was not angry, but said happily: "No, I want to clean up all the people in the Shen family who have different intentions, because from now on, our eyes are not only limited to Yu Kangcheng, but also to look at one state and the world!"

Lao Wu instantly hugged his fists excitedly and said: "Subordinates obey orders!!"

"Well, it's not too early, you go and rest, besides, the injuries on your body are worse than my second brother's. ”

"Back to the master, it is Mr. Zhao's subordinates who show mercy, otherwise, the second master and I will have to die. ”

"Haha...... Of course, I know that Mr. Zhao's subordinates are merciful, don't mention this matter again, I heard that Liujiazhuang is going to set up a shrine for Mr. Zhao, and my Shen family is the biggest, and I want to build Mr. Zhao's ancestral hall, which is a hundred miles in radius, the most beautiful!"

Lao Wu received the order.

Zhao Que woke up in the middle of the night, thirsty.

Drank a cup of tea.

Lie back on the bed.

There was one thing, he hid it and didn't tell Shen Changle.

That's it.

The Shen family is not as good as those big families, if the Shen family has the real family heritage, if they start the plan he said, according to Yu Kangcheng, it is really possible to achieve something.

However, according to Zhao Que's strategy, the Shen family struggled in the troubled times, and at a certain moment, money and food would be stretched.

However, it is the people of Yu Kangcheng who really benefit.

The old housekeeper said that the Shen family has the blood of mountain bandits in their bodies, and they can keep the people of Yu Kangcheng safe, but they can't protect the people in other places.

He's still too shallow.

When the troubled times come, life is like a mustard, and the people who can keep a place are already considered to be immeasurably meritorious.

Can the Shen family fight out, but let's talk about it......
