Chapter 1318 1318: The Bastard Like the Wishing Fountain (Part 2) [Please vote for me]
How could there be new usury money?
This issue started from the day before.
Cui Zhi's cousin was a decisive person. Shen Tang ordered someone to send the portrait just one day before the other party responded.
The other party chose three people, two of whom were in the army and the other one was in Fengluo. Shen Tang glanced at the list: "My sister has good taste. These three are all good. They are the best of the best."
Cui Zhi seemed to have broken the jar.
Frank smiled and asked if the three of them were getting married.
These information are not updated in real time. In the meantime, someone might have caught him and made him a son-in-law. If he is not married yet, he can arrange a meeting. To be honest, Cui Zhi was also moved. The three of them are either from a small clan or have no father or mother. After discussion, they can also let the man marry. Cui Zhi's retirement is a certainty. Only when he retires will all the old grudges from the past be completely wiped out, and brothers Cui Xiong and Cui Mi will officially take power.
Cui Zhi believed in his son, but also wanted to pave the way for them.
At least, don't go too rough.
Cui has made too many enemies and needs to win over new allies.
Recruitment is one of the reasonable channels.
"Except for Feng Luo, the other two are still single."
Feng Luo was left behind because his old mother suddenly became seriously ill. He was raised by a widowed mother. Mother and son have a deep relationship. Shen Tang rejected his request to go with the army out of humanistic concern. There are still opportunities to go on the battlefield and make contributions, but that’s all the old mother has.
Accompany her to the end and leave no regrets to either party.
But the regret of the widowed mother was not only that she saw her son waiting at the bedside before she died, she asked her son to look at him with an ice man, she quickly decided on a candidate for marriage, and she passed away with a smile on her face half a month later. Why does Shen Tang know so clearly? Because Qi Shan told me about this.
The Qishan Society knew about it because the betrothed woman was an official of Zhongshu Province and a concubine in the family of Zhongshu She. During the regular communication and report with Shen Tang, I mentioned it. Shen Tang's idea is that this person from Zhongshushe is not clear-headed and looks for opportunities to rise and fall covertly.
The wish of the man's widowed mother is quite selfish, but it is reasonable, but it is different for the woman's elder who agrees to the marriage. It is purely a disease of the brain. The daughter was wronged for a dying man, the marriage proposal was hasty, the marriage was simple and unseemly, the widowed mother died of illness in half a month, and the woman who got married had to keep her filial piety.
As a father, could he act out of love for his children?
It's just to get a son-in-law who has investment value.
For this reason, he used his daughter as a bargaining chip to barter.
How can a person with such evil thoughts be worthy of the important position of Zhongshusheren? I am simply blinded by profit lard!
Qishan received a reply and he was demoted after a month.
At this moment, I still don’t know where I offended my immediate boss. I vented my bitterness to the censor with whom I was close in private, and Qi Shan and the censor Taiwan were quarreling with each other on a daily basis. The excitement was even worse than on the front line.
Oh, this censor was also scolded by Gu Chi.
Cui Zhi obviously didn't know the details of these bizarre twists and turns, and he wasn't too disappointed when he heard that the one who stayed behind in the capital was married. The cousin is more interested in the other two, who are younger and more handsome - judging from the portraits.
Shen Tang heard Cui Zhi's distrust of the portrait.
She said: "Don't worry, no one dares to lie to me."
She has seen both sides of the two parties, with two different styles, one is a sunny man and bold, and the other is a masculine knight-errant.
Both are die-hard fans of Gong Xiqiu.
Well, this can see why they are single when they reach marriageable age, and they are still keen to run to the battlefield. For the opportunity to fight side by side with their idols at close range, these two also worked very hard.
Shen Tang spit out the melon seed skin: "Let's make arrangements for today."
It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Today is just right.
Cui Zhi was caught off guard by her: "Today?"
No, are you in such a hurry?
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Otherwise, why don't you just set aside a day to go on a blind date? Zhishan, you are so busy now, how can you have so much free time? I am going to the countryside for inspection today, and I will take them both with me later. You can also take them with me. Pretending to be passing by your cousin, we can meet each other and get along naturally, which will further reveal the compatibility between the two parties. "
Cui Zhi: "..."
Such wild blind dates have only been seen in ordinary people.
No, people in the market are not that rough.
Shen Tang saw the disgust in his eyes, and said in a faint tone: "Cui's parents don't know the sufferings of the world. If it is really the lawless routine in the countryside, they lock men and women in the same place, and don't open the door for anything. We are civilized people.”
Cui Zhi: "...Is this happening?"
Shen Tang raised his head and thought for a while: "Yes, the man was sentenced to external kidney flogging later, and both parents were also sentenced."
As we all know, Shen Tang likes to stroll.
Not only does he like to stroll, but he also likes to take the officials of the royal court with him. When strolling, he can always trigger certain NPC events like the players. The cause of the incident was that people from the Bibu Division of the Punishment Department ran away for game. Several people accidentally got lost. It took them a long time to find an inhabited village. When they were borrowing water from the villagers, they heard a miserable cry for help. They heard the noise and wanted to go and rescue them. However, he was stopped by the villagers, so he started fighting with the villagers. The villagers didn't have any scruples, but a few people couldn't kill it, so they all failed.
Kang Shi saw several people dumbfounded.
When several people saw Kang Shi, it was like seeing their old father.
Everyone was crying and whimpering.
Finally, Kang Shi borrowed people to confiscate the whole village.
The two families were biting each other to death. This was just an uncontrollable behavior of two young people after they saw each other. Local customs have always been like this. How can it be considered a crime? Shen Tang was almost laughed out of anger and asked Kang Shi to be severely punished. Killing chickens to scare monkeys, to serve as a warning to others, is not enough to deter bad customs! Even though both parents were imprisoned, the thugs were not frightened until they were punished by being flogged in public!
Cui Zhi's face almost twitched.
"The punishment of external kidney flogging?"
Does Kang Guo still have this punishment? ? ?
Just hearing the name can cause phantom pain.
"Well, the watchers came back and said that both of them were beaten to pieces."
The scene is brutal and inhumane, but the shock effect is surprisingly good. After this incident, such bad behavior disappeared in the local area, and no ice man with a bad conscience dared to instigate it again. Parents who have boys at home don't dare to have such an idea again.
Kang Shi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately proposed to join the Kangguo Criminal Law.
Cui Zhi: "...it opened Cui's horizons."
Dealing with the people who cause violence can indeed bring immediate results.
The blind date process was thus decided.
The two were summoned by Shen Tang, and they were all flattered. They are considered young and promising, but it is still difficult to meet Shen Tang. Shen Tang remembered them, which made them even more excited and at a loss. Shen Tang also directly explained the purpose, which was just a blind date.
The woman is a daughter of the Cui family, with a good background and a tolerant personality.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then said quietly: "Two?"
To put it more seriously, this marriage has the nature of appeasement and political significance, and it can be regarded as a kind of "marriage".
But, isn’t it bad to send both of them to “make peace”?
Shen Tang immediately understood what they meant and explained: "Nvjun Cui has seen your portraits and feels admiration for her, but after all, she has not seen the real person. You still have to get in touch with the real person to know. This is not mandatory, you can also take a look. How about the queen?"
This answer reassured the two of them. To accept one woman and two husbands, one has to look at who the “woman” is.
The other party is just an ordinary girl from aristocratic family. With their abilities and talents, there is really no need for them to suffer such injustice. The Lord only said that he wanted to take a look, and the two of them did not dress up specially. Coupled with the fact that General Gongxi was with him, all the unhappiness disappeared.
A blind date in exchange for an opportunity to have close contact with an idol is a good deal no matter how you look at it, but Gong Xiqiu is not happy with it.
But it soon became apparent that it was too early for her liking.
The two young men all gathered around the eldest brother.
Gong Xiqiu said with a stinking face: "Don't they have a brother?"
Shen Tang said: "Maybe, really not?"
Both are the eldest sons in their families.
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
The topographic conditions of King Qi's capital in the southwest are considered to be the best. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces relatively flat plains. It is crisscrossed by waterways, making it a good land for both offense and defense. Shen Tang personally brought people over to inspect it, also wanting to see where it could be better developed. All the nearby farmland that can be cultivated has been developed. Perhaps other routes can be used to make up for the economic shortcomings, such as developing waterways? Will several nearby states and counties be revitalized? As a result, new conflicts will also arise...
Qin Li looked carefully at the high-definition satellite map.
"My Lord's idea is feasible. In the past, these states were in the hands of different countries. Each country fought with each other and almost wanted to kill each other. Blocking and changing waterways would not give other countries any advantage. The original waterway network was destroyed. …This is also one of the reasons for frequent flooding in places in the southwest…”
Part of it is due to natural disasters, but more is due to man-made disasters.
Different countries can carve up these places and use means to transform various waterways, but as far as God is concerned, what are the differences between countries? All treated equally! Natural disasters often affect a large area. All countries know this, but they are unwilling to change it.
Shen Tang couldn't help complaining: "If they had such a selfless idea as 'everyone for one, and I for everyone', how could there be such a tragic situation of starvation and death in the wilderness? The world would have been unified long ago... For people, it's a lose-lose situation." It’s greater than a single win.”
Every country is strong, which is equivalent to being weak.
Every country suffers from natural disasters, which means it is not weakened at all.
Perhaps it was because it was close to the capital of King Qi, and the nearby scenery was pretty good. Shen Tang took the people for a stroll near the field ridge, and saw the low-key Cui family's carriage all the way away. Well, the other party to the blind date came, and Shen Tang, the matchmaker, happily came over.
The two "marriage" candidates followed suit.
When they arrived, Cui's daughter was playing with a child from a farmer's family. I don't know what childish words the child said. A slight smile appeared on her plain face, which made her look less dull and more colorful.
Cui Zhi then "saw" Shen Tang and stepped forward to salute.
Cui's daughter also followed slowly to greet him.
This was all a planned process, but when Shen Tang saw the smile on Cui Zhi's face, he always felt that something was not right. Without thinking much, Shen Tang found an excuse to call Cui Zhi aside, leaving space for the young man. As soon as Qin Li and Jimo Qiu came over, they heard Shen Tang ask: "Zhishan, why do I think your smile was a little weird just now?"
It's not like seeing a satisfied CP's smile, it's like the plan succeeded.
Cui Zhi said calmly: "Shen Jun misunderstood. Cui was very satisfied when he saw these two talented people, so he beamed with joy."
Shen Tang squinted at him: "Are you lying?"
"...Doesn't the Ministry of Rites have any objection to Mr. Shen's words?"
The words are too crude.
Qin Li: "I am not talented, but I am the Minister of Rites."
Cui Zhi: "..."
In an instant, he brewed up countless complaints but didn't know which sentence to start with. Is Kang Guo's painting style too Caotai team? Apparently, his decision to retire was right.
The atmosphere of the blind date between the three of them was quite acceptable.
Apart from being a little awkward at first, it got much better after that.
The two of them took the matter seriously as a business matter with the idea of "making love as a couple". Cui Nvjun was resentful of her ex-husband's family's indifferent treatment, and she also tried her best to avenge her previous shame. What could be more satisfying than getting married in a glorious marriage after being divorced?
After a conversation, I felt a little different.
I have to admit that both young people are extremely considerate of other people's emotions. They are knowledgeable but not arrogant, and they will not use their own knowledge to despise her ignorance. After all, the environments they live in are different. Within the scope of Cui Nujun's life, the two of them are also ignorant. In addition to these differences, there are also many common topics, such as poetry, books, wine and tea hobbies.
While chatting, one of them found an excuse to quit.
Colleagues and Cui Nvjun got along better with each other.
If it can be done, it will be a good story.
He was about to report this matter to the Lord.
Shen Tang and his group rested at the edge of a nearby village. As soon as they passed by, they could smell the solemn atmosphere in the air. Before they had even taken two steps, the idol grabbed his shoulders and retreated: "Don't get into trouble at this time."
"General? What happened?"
The soldier who was close to Gong Xiqiu glanced at the crowd and whispered in a low voice: "The villagers enthusiastically called the Lord to come up and take a drink of water. As soon as he took two sips of water, he saw a group of gangsters coming to the end of the village to collect debts and dragging people from the village. The son of the family who was beaten was driven to the head of the village. He borrowed loan money and was chased for debt within seven days. "
"Usury loan? Debt collection?"
Usury money has disappeared from the public in Kangguo, but outside Kangguo, it is a hugely profitable business, and some large households have made their fortunes by relying on usury money issued by their ancestors. When the Lord comes, those who make loan sharks have a bit of a wink, and they should consciously rein in their tails.
Why did you bump into the Lord?
I don’t know whether to call him bold or unlucky.
"He even cut off the debtor's leg." Driven by the desire to survive, the gambler dragged out a **** path.
If you can't pay it back, you can only use other things to pay it off.
The family does not have a daughter, but they have a young son.
The debt collector took away the younger son and the gambler's wife.
The gambler's mother was still able to give birth, and the young son's facial features were pretty good, and he would be able to receive customers after two years of raising him. The gambler's father was pushed and hit by a rock during the dispute and died. There are more than 20 gangsters in the gang, and each one of them is carrying something. How can ordinary farmers dare to mess with them? But there was a giant Buddha at the scene that they couldn't afford to mess with!
The Lord arrested them all and interrogated them.
Hearing the keyword, Shen Tang raised his eyebrows.
"Usury money? When did you borrow it?"
The gambler had one of his legs cut off and lost a lot of blood, but his life was good. Doctor Xinglin followed Shen Tang when he went out, and he stopped the bleeding in time and saved his life. He was afraid of death and replied tremblingly: "Xiao... Xiaomin borrowed it eight days ago..."
"Eight days ago?"
Shen Tang pinched his fingers to calculate the time.
Then he asked: "Which casino lent it to you?"
The gambler didn't dare not answer: "It's the one on Yangxiang in the east of the city."
Shen Tang glanced at Cui Zhi's face from the corner of his eye. The latter was calm as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but she did not miss the flash of cruelty in his eyes.
"Oh, check it out then."

This drama should eventually point to Cui Long and deal with the Cui family, but Cui Zhi found out in advance and transferred the person. Tangmei also took the opportunity to perform an operation, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and scrape a sum of money.
