Chapter 9 Collecting for oneself and using cheats for profit
The so-called rivers and lakes, after all, are not the mainstream, just a world of a small number of people.
Judging from Daqin's restrictions on the Jianghu sects, we know that these sects are not good at stubble, not to mention killing and fighting, at least they must be charged with disturbing stability.
In fact, because of their supernormal powers, these people are not subject to control and let them engage in normal industries, and it is basically impossible to do according to the standards of ordinary people.
I have power, why don't I use it?
This is the main reason why the government restricts the Jianghu sect.
Today I will kill you, tomorrow you will kill me, and you will destroy the whole door or something. Unlike Zhao Yu, he won't take the initiative to do it. These Jianghu people will take the initiative to do it, use their own strength, and do everything they want to do.
Of course, to say that all of them are bad guys with sores on the top of their heads and pus on the soles of their feet, it can't be so absolute.
Ah Da said that the heroes who defend the country and expand the territory, govern the place, and do not close the door at night and leave the road behind are heroes, which Zhao Yu deeply believes. But to say that there are no heroes in the rivers and lakes is not necessarily true.
But after all, it's a minority of the minority. With such a large base of ordinary people, it is not easy to produce a real hero, let alone a handful of people in the rivers and lakes?
Why do you call rivers and lakes green forests?
Because the people in the rivers and lakes, these rangers, often do things, and there is not much difference between them and bandits. Or openly and secretly, they are bandits.
Among the bandits, how difficult is it to produce a hero?
Zhao Yuzi also doesn't look down on this self-proclaimed so-called hero conference, in his opinion, it's just child's play.
So he nodded: "Roughly speaking, the geographical location of this Changhe County is too good, almost isolated from the world. So these Jianghu rangers, sects and sects, took advantage of the chaos of Great Qin to come here..."
He shook his head as he spoke: "Don't expect these people to have a big view of the overall situation, they are not chivalrous heroes praised in romance and small books, they are also people." And it is a small group of people at the bottom of society. ”
After a pause, he said, "No matter what, I don't want to see chaos in this Changhe County. Since these people in the rivers and lakes are involved in cause and effect with me, hehe..."
With a faint smile, Zhao Yu threw off the horsewhip, the horse's hooves rattled, and looked at the city gate.
In Zhao Yu's eyes, there is almost no question of personal good and evil. Of course, a person who is great and good can enter his eyes. But if the great evil man does not provoke him, he will not be idle and bored to find trouble.
That's a matter for the government.
Since then, Zhao Yu has often looked down on the people in the rivers and lakes who claim to be chivalrous. These people often do bad things with good intentions. For example, an incident that happened in Changhe County a few years ago is a notable example.
A few years ago, a river thief suddenly appeared in Changhe County. For this thief, the government has long been monitored. This Jiangyang thief has a close connection with Xirong. Therefore, the government is not in a hurry to do it, but secretly opens a big net, planning to use this Jiangyang thief to wipe out the eyeline and network arranged by Xirong in Changhe County.
For this reason, both the county guard and the local garrison of Changhe County are fully prepared.
But he didn't expect that a hero of the Changhe Sword Sect would destroy the Jiangyang thief.
On the surface, it seems to be a chivalrous act, but in fact, it made the government not only fail to uproot Xirong's arrangement in Changhe County from this Jiangyang thief, but instead worked hard and worked in vain.
And the government can't find trouble with this 'hero'. Because he didn't sin!
In Daqin, killing the thief is not only not guilty, but meritorious.
So Zhao Yu can't look down on them.
A rabble is a rabble. Especially Zhao Yu, who was originally a general of a country in his previous life and focused on the overall situation, was even more disgusted with such a-stirring stick.
What disgusts Zhao Yu even more is that these chivalrous people like to find trouble with those with bad reputations, but they are used to bullying the small people. rampant in the township, talking about such people.
I didn't see a family that was suffering in life, so they went to help.
In fact, most of these people deal with thieves for the sake of a name. The reputation of a hero. If you want to say that you are sincere for the people, at least Zhao Yu has not seen it in Changhe County.
The two of them rode twice, ignoring the rangers with swords and swords along the road, all the way to the city gate.
Horses were not allowed to run in the city, so they turned over and came down.
When I looked up, I saw that the gates of the city were plastered with notices.
Zhao Yu's eyes were extraordinary, and he couldn't help frowning at a glance.
Dozens of notices plastered almost all sides of the city gate. These notices, for the vast majority, are new. A portrait of a human being is drawn on it, and the reason for the wanted name is stated below.
It's all people in the rivers and lakes!
Or stealing chickens and dogs, or killing people and robbing money, and so on.
Zhao Yu knew what he wanted.
It is precisely because of the so-called Heroes Conference that the Quartet Ranger has been invited, which has caused such frequent evil incidents.
Ah Da also saw it clearly, and the look on his face turned cold in an instant.
The people adopted by Zhao Yu have been three hundred, but each of them has experienced a good education. They have the martial arts taught by Zhao Yu, but absolutely none of them have bullied the weak and done evil outside.
They are not chivalrous warriors and can kill, but they have true benevolence.
Zhao Yu shook his head: "Let's go first." ”
Looking away, the two led the horses and entered the Long River City.
If you want to meet Taishou, you can't be hasty. Even if it is a county order, it must also be handed over to the name post, not to mention too shou? So I first found an inn to settle down and asked Ah Da to hand over the name post.
Before noon, Zhao Yu took Ah Da to Taishou Mansion.
His own attendants have been waiting for a long time.
So he didn't mention it at the entrance door.
Taishou Wang Tao was waiting in the living room early, Ah Da went with the attendant, and Zhao Yu held a gift box by himself, and walked into the hall under the guidance of the attendant.
"Lord Taishou, don't come to harm?!"
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, handed the brocade box to the attendants, and then bowed down.
Taishou Wang Tao is over fifty years old, with a clear face, but he is quite energetic. There is a beard under the chin, and the sideburns are white. Between the eyebrows and elegance, there is an official authority.
It must be known that such a big official as Taishou is already a member of 2,000 stones, a shepherd on one side, and a feudal official. Even the state assassin history can't be above the Taishou.
The state assassin history is only a superintendent sent by the imperial court, and cannot interfere with the locality. There is only the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions. It is a transit role that communicates the local and the central.
Taishou is actually directly responsible to the central court.
So the bit is highly weighted.
Taishou is promoted, if he enters the court, his official title will not be worse than the position of Jiuqing.
Therefore, this official authority is really immense. Waiting for idle characters, when they see Taishou, they don't bow their heads.
But Zhao Yu is not.
In his previous life, he almost achieved the role of one person and more than 10,000 people, and if you want to talk about official authority, it is much better than too guarding. If he hadn't been able to contain his breath, once it was released, it would have been shocking.
Besides, between him and Wang Tao, he is also a gentleman's friend who has forgotten his years, and he is as plain as water, which is exactly the case.
Wang Tao smiled, got up and accepted the half-salute, and returned the half-salute, and then the guests and hosts sat down.
Wang Taishou smiled, first beckoned the attendant to present the gift box, opened it gently, smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, and couldn't help but open his heart: "Brother Xian, this health pill is indeed a good treasure." It just so happened that the last delivery had just run out, and I was thinking about having people urge it. ”
The health pill is Zhao Yu's gift to his friends.
It has always been like this.
Whether it's Wang Tao or Li Ziyun.
This pill was made by Zhao Yu himself, and it was used to nourish the essence and strengthen the body. The medicine is mild, has no side effects, and has a quick effect.
For example, Wang Tao was already in his fifties, and his spirit had dropped greatly, but he had to take charge of many affairs in a county, and he was always unable to do it. But as long as you take a health pill, you will immediately be energetic and your mind will be sharp.
Zhao Yu laughed when he heard this: "There is nothing else, the health pill is enough." ”
The two talked about the old days, and then got down to business.
Zhao Yu said what he said with Li Ziyun yesterday, and also recited it according to the book, and said it to Wang Tao.
After all, Wang Tao is old, has deep experience, and has a much more stable temperament. After hearing this, he couldn't help but say: "The rampant rangers are indeed a big trouble. Presumably, when the virtuous brother entered the city, he saw many wanted notices, all of which were done by rangers recently. Now the Laoshzi Hero Conference on the Green Forest Road is held, and there are rangers from all over the world, and there are many sects. It's a hornet's nest. If you stab it, you're going to explode. ”
After a pause, Wang Tao said again: "The southeast of the empire is in turmoil, the ten pavilions of the Xizhou army have been transferred to seven pavilions, and Xirong is unstable. Once the affairs of the Jianghu rangers are not handled properly and the internal order is disturbed, it will be a disaster. ”
After listening to this, Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "What the old brother said is very true. But this ranger, after all, is an unstable factor. If you don't touch him, you can't guarantee the stability of the county. The wanted notice at the city gate is proof of this. ”
Then he said: "Good to teach the elder brother, don't worry, the younger brother has always acted with confidence." I'm not going to kill all the rangers. It's just that the soldiers of the county government need to cooperate with the pressure. ”
Only then did he take care of his heart and come one by one: "Six days later, there will be the Hero Conference of the Narauszi." I'll go to the Changhe Sword Sect and clean up that Ranger Leader first. ”
Wang Tao frowned and said: "Brother Xian is sure, it's not that I don't believe it, you said that you are very capable, but..."
Zhao Yu laughed: "Brother, don't you think that I don't count my own life?"
Wang Tao smiled dumbly and motioned for Zhao Yu to continue.
"The rangers are respected for their strength. I put myself in charge and subdued the people. Coupled with the pressure of the government soldiers, it may not be impossible to take these people in the rivers and lakes for their own use. ”
"Take it for your own use?" Wang Tao frowned.
"Yes, yes. Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Little brother has a suggestion here, old brother can listen to it." ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"Jianghu rangers, if you want to say that above the battle array, they are all rabble, and they are not of great use. But in some places, it can be extremely useful, such as to find out information, such as to catch bandits. The Tingwei Mansion already has such a prototype. ”
Hearing this, Wang Tao looked stunned, and couldn't help but bow: "Tingwei Mansion does have such a prototype, isn't the bounty hunter just the use of the characters in the rivers and lakes." ”
"Yes, yes. Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Now that the Xizhou army has gone to seven pavilions out of ten, it is impossible for Xirong not to find out." Once the Xijon barbarians take advantage of this attack, the old brother's worries will be fulfilled. ”
