Located in the center of Cangzhou City, this mansion, which has been empty for two years, has finally ushered in its new owner.

Yang You had already led people to renovate this state pastoral mansion according to the drawings given by Chu Ji.

Everyone arrived at the gate of the State Governor's Mansion, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Yang You waiting at the door.

Yang You in this life, although he could not completely avoid the tragic experience in the original book, because he did not have the begging experience in the original book, his temperament can be called a humble gentleman, gentle and indifferent.

He wears half a silver mask on his face, but it can be seen from the other half of his face that he was also a handsome man before he was burned.

As soon as Yang You gave Chu Ji a salute, Jiang Mu walked over beside him with a "hum". Ah Huang at his feet wanted to come to Yang You's side to be coquettish, but he was also called away by Jiang Mu hatefully.

Chu Ji raised his chin and motioned for Yang You to chase after him. Unexpectedly, Yang You lowered his head. After a moment, he shook his head slightly, shook his head again, and said, "Put business first." ”

Seeing this, Chu Ji couldn't say anything more. So, he had no choice but to nod and introduce him and Qin Zong to each other.

Both of them didn't talk much, so they didn't communicate much. It was Xue Zheng, although he hadn't met Yang You a few times, and he and Qin Zong had only met today, but they were pulling the two of them to talk vigorously.

"In the future, under the hands of adults, Wen has Yang You, and Wu has Qin Zong, and he will be invincible."

"Actually, I'm not bad, although I'm not as good as General Qin Xiao, but according to my mother, I can also get the true inheritance of my father."

"My mother was seriously ill, and I was a street artist, and I could only earn 20 copper plates a day, so I couldn't afford to hire a doctor. It was an adult who passed by and let Mr. Jiang Mu cure his mother's illness! ”

……

Qin Zong turned his head away, just listening, and didn't answer. This afternoon, half of the time, Xue Zheng was talking about how Chu Ji saved his mother; The other half of the time is talking about how his father saved Xue Zheng's mother.

Yang You was also a sullen gourd, but he always smiled and echoed Xue Zheng's words, only when he heard the word "Jiang Mu", the smile on his face froze for a moment, but soon smiled again.

Over there, Ji An was happily directing everyone to move, quite in the style of a big manager.

Chu Ji watched from the side and nodded with satisfaction. Originally, the head of his house was Kuaixi, but in terms of Kuaixi's talent, he really used a knife to kill chickens.

Although Ji An was originally just an attendant, he studied with Kuai Xi for three years, and now he is also presentable.

Chu Ji didn't have any other requirements, but he just explained to Ji An that the cotton should be settled one by one. The best place in the garden to get the best light is to move out and transplant the cotton.

After explaining the matter to Ji An, Chu Ji said: "Xue Zheng, you go and order a hundred people, and follow me to the state pastor yamen tomorrow." Yang You and Qin Zong followed me to the study to discuss matters. ”

As soon as he heard what was going on, Xue Zheng restrained his expression, and after answering, he went to the martial arts arena to order people.

Yang You already had something to present to Chu Ji, so naturally he had no objections. It was Qin Zong, he didn't expect that Chu Ji would call him to discuss things together.

Chu Ji looked at Qin Zong's expression and winked at him innocently. Those eyes seemed to say, I talked about it, I entered Cangzhou City, and then I told you in detail, why don't you remember this?

Qin Zong naturally understood Chu Ji's eyes. But is this the crux of the matter? Yang You is obviously Chu Ji's confidant, can the two of them tell him about the content of the enemy's captive? In Chu Ji's heart, could he already be an existence that could access these cores?

"Let's go, General Qin."

What should I do if my child is insecure? I can only pet myself. What's more, General Qin Xiao is trustworthy and has excellent martial arts, how can he, Chu Ji, a "black-hearted businessman", not need to be used?

In the study, Chu Ji sat at your desk, looking at the evidence collected by Yang You and Qian Zhuang, Cangzhou Don't Drive Qian Youcai and Bing Cao Ma Yuankai.

Expropriation and expropriation, preying on the common people, robbing people's daughters, disregarding people's lives, and colluding with mountain bandits...... Piles and piles, it is difficult to write.

"Heh" Chu Ji snorted coldly and slapped the paperwork in his hand on the table.

"My lord, these two people have been entrenched in Cangzhou for many years, monopolizing the military and political power in Cangzhou, I am afraid that they want to slowly figure it out." When Yang You collected these incriminating evidence, he was simply furious. But since these two have done it, they have nothing to fear.

Since the outbreak of the uprising many years ago, Dayong has implemented the state pastoral system, and the state pastor of a state enjoys the military and political power, which has led to the inability of the central government and the decentralization of power to the localities. The Dayong royal family is only maintaining superficial prosperity.

The people in power in various states and provinces are just waiting for an opportunity, and everyone is unwilling to take the lead in doing the so-called rebellion.

Quan Dayong, I'm afraid that those people in Shengjing who are drunk with money and don't eat fireworks in the world haven't realized this yet. Therefore, even if these evidences are handed over to the emperor, I am afraid that they will not be able to be lost in the end.

Chu Ji shook his head and said, "I can wait, can the people outside who are in dire straits?" ”

It's the end of June, and it's only five months and a few days away from the heavy snowfall that hit December 7. If he can't grasp the real power of Cangzhou as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Although Yang You didn't know that Chu Ji was talking about the heavy snow that would happen in the future, he couldn't help but clench his fists when he thought of what he had seen and heard in Cangzhou in the past two months. The evil done by these two people is really not an exaggeration.

"My lord, do you already have an idea?" Yang You thought of the three thousand soldiers and horses under Chu Ji, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Although Cangzhou has a population of 100,000, there are not many young and strong, so although a state can raise 30,000 soldiers, in fact, Ma Yuankai's soldiers and horses are less than 20,000.

Moreover, in the eastern suburbs of the camp where Ma Yuankai trained soldiers, Yang You once pretended to be a person who sent forage to the horses, and went in to take a look. Either they were fat-headed, big-eared, loose and lazy young master soldiers, or poor people with poor weapons and thin faces and thin muscles who were captured for military service.

There is a difference between it and the well-trained soldiers under the adults.

However, bringing troops into the city is tantamount to rebellion. Although he guessed a few points about the adult's thoughts, he also knew that it was not yet the time to publicize it publicly.

"Outside Cangzhou City, on Luoxia Mountain, isn't there a group of mountain bandits?" Chu Ji leaned back in the chair, rubbed the jade pendant on his waist, looked at the incriminating evidence on the table, and a smile appeared on his face.

When Yang You heard this, his mind turned, and he knew what Chu Ji was planning, no wonder he didn't see Kuaimin and Kuaixin today. It's just that he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "My lord, is it too risky this time?" ”

Chu Ji's eyes were a little ruthless, he sat up straight, and said with a straight face: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." "He must use the fastest and most worry-free way to take over Cangzhou in its entirety.

Not only for the people of Cangzhou, but also for himself. This trick is risky, but it is the most neat.

And he, Chu Ji, is precisely the person who is least afraid of risks.

Chu Ji turned his gaze, looked at Qin Zong, who had not spoken, and said, "Besides, isn't there still General Qin?" The young marshal of the Qin family still can't protect me? ”

Qin Zong silently followed Chu Ji into the study, and listened to the conversation between Chu Ji and Yang You in silence. But his brain had been running, and he had roughly guessed Chu Ji's intentions.

Fast enough, ruthless enough, and dangerous enough.

It is very in line with Chu Ji's style. It's like the day they first met, the two of them were in the carriage, clamping each other's lives. But in the end, Chu Ji was the better one.

Qin Zong looked at the pair of glass-brown peach blossom eyes, unconsciously rolled his Adam's apple, and let out a "Hmm." ”

As soon as the three of them were discussing their plans in the study, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

It was Jiang Mu, who was holding a tray in his hand, and there was a bowl of bitter medicine on the tray.

"Chu Ji, why don't you know how to take medicine when it's time? I also need someone to bring it to you. ”

Chu Ji looked at the pretended seriousness on Jiang Mu's face, it was really a hundred wrongs. His own health is poor, and he has always followed the doctor's instructions to drink medicine, and he does not fall into a bowl, but today he missed the time to drink medicine because of deliberations.

Besides, what did you want someone to send here? Obviously, Jiang Mu himself lost his temper at Yang You at the door, and now he is just looking for the stairs. Give him medicine, just by the way.

Jiang Mu just walked to the desk, and before he could put the tray down, Yang You, who was standing on the side, made a gesture and retreated.

The matter had already been discussed, and it was reasonable for Yang You to propose to retire, so Chu Ji nodded and asked him to go back first.

As soon as Yang You walked out of the study with his front foot, Jiang Mu squeezed his eyebrows at Chu Ji, and was anxious to chase after him.

Chu Ji shook his head helplessly, and reached out to take the tray: "Go." ”

Seeing Jiang Mu's back quickly disappear at the door, Chu Ji put down the tray in his hand. He picked up the medicine bowl casually, endured the sour and bitter taste, closed his eyes, and poured a bowl of thick black medicinal juice.

This time, Jiang Mu's new medicine was so bitter that he almost gagged. Fortunately, after two days, he was better and didn't need to drink anymore.

When Chu Ji opened his eyes again, the physiological salt water had already poured out of the corners of his eyes, a pair of peach blossom eyes were full of sparkling water, the tails of the eyes were slightly red, and even the slightly raised snow-white neck was stained with a pale pink color.

Qin Zong smelled the smell of the medicine, the tip of his nose moved slightly, and then he was ready to retire. But as soon as he looked up, he saw such a scene, and he was stunned in place.
