Chapter 380 Chapter 380: The young boy in fresh clothes and angry horse (Part 1)【Two in one】
"Did I do something wrong in my previous life?"
Shen Tang wants to doubt life every day.
Can't even concentrate on work.
Qishan came to deliver things, happened to hear her thoughts, and thought she had encountered some troubles, so she cared about her by the way—my lord is still a developing seedling, as her staff, I have to care about my lord occasionally He is physically and mentally healthy, but he cannot become abnormal without saying a word.
Shen Tang looked at Qishan resentfully, and for a moment, he looked at Qishan in a daze, and said in doubt: "My lord looks at Shan like this, but what's wrong?"
Could it be that he didn't wash thoroughly in the morning?
Loss of grooming?
Without waiting for Qishan to make more guesses, Shen Tang quietly said: "I am thinking that I still have a few years of life in the roster of Lord Yan, or if I encounter a powerful enemy in the future and are forced to the end of the mountain, will I be able to let you guys If you pretend to surrender, you may be able to counterattack and turn defeat into victory... Sigh, worry..."
Pray for goodness: "..."
He restrained the small trembling of the corners of his mouth, couldn't help laughing and said helplessly: "My lord, don't make such an unlucky joke. Besides, whether it's Wenxin scribes or others, there will inevitably be one or two special people. My lord is just..."
Should I say that she was just lucky?
Or is it just her bad luck?
To tell the truth, such a "luxury" lineup that makes the lord's face pale when he hears about it, Qi Shan has taken seven lords' beheads over the years, but he has never encountered it once. From a certain point of view, this is also an extraordinary talent that cannot be copied.
Side view—
Didn't it also prove the excellence of my protagonist?
Shen Tang was not comforted at all, and became more emo, but she is not someone who is easily defeated.
Hey, think better about everything.
Everything has pros and cons.
Jiang Sheng and the others are indeed masters, but the value they can create is also considerable. One can be used by several laborers, and the average person is "both internal and external", capable of governing internally and fighting externally, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and complements each other.
In today's chaotic world that pays attention to status, background, and background, if it weren't for the fact that their literati way is too troublesome for the lord, it is difficult to find an offer to work, and Shen Tang is hard enough, how could it be her turn to bring them back to the nest?
It’s not that Shen Tang underestimates herself, but that it’s hard for her to find good enough and hard-working workers at the beginning, let alone run a small land and establish a good relationship with a few neighbors to lay a solid foundation for future development.
After such a self-comfort.
Shen Tang figured it out, and no longer emo.
Re-energized and started to work at the desk.
Qi Shan's mission this time is to deliver food, and after completing the account entry and handover work, he will bring people back. The reservoir on Heyin's side is under construction in full swing, and the river channel has been dug for several miles. It's very busy up and down.
"Go back so soon?"
Shen Tang still wants to keep Qishan to work.
Qi Shan said: "If the lord wants to keep someone, Shan doesn't mind, but Wangchao may cause trouble."
Shen Tang: "..."
He Yin only has Gu Chi in charge now.
Thinking that the workload of the entire Heyin County was on him and a group of government officials, he smiled awkwardly. Gu Chi was kidnapped by herself after drinking, and she really annoyed him, so she just quit, and she didn't bother to say anything about him.
Qi Shan took people away at noon.
Actually, there was one more thing he didn't say.
It is true that Gu Chi is the only scholar in charge of He Yin, but there are foreign aids like Qin Li. If they are too busy and overworked, it would be a good solution to ask them to help. _(:з)∠)_Yes, because of their master’s style of work, they don’t care whether they are their own people or not, as long as they can work, they can use them.
As for how Qin Li and the others cursed?
As long as you don't hear it, you can pretend not to know.
Although the Luxia County Government Office has been taken back, the counties and towns outside the Government Office have all been harmed by refugees and grassroots bandits. Although Shen Tang immediately organized the opening of food warehouses after he came over, more than half of them fell into the grass, or burned, killed and looted , Raid homes, or gather people into the mountains to become bandits, or follow the refugees to other enemies. All living beings suffer, just for one bite.
Shen Tang sympathized with them, but for the sake of those common people who kept their own law and order, he joined forces with the other three families to allocate some troops to wipe out the bandits in Luxia County.
Publicity is the top priority, and strangulation is the bottom.
If they are willing to put down their arms and become ordinary people again, then give them this chance. If they are unwilling to resist and use force, they will be killed directly. They must not be driven to neighboring counties to harass the common people in those places.
Shao Chong and the others naturally had no objection.
In fact, they waited impatiently for Shen Tang's words. They were busy with boring trivial matters all day long, with nowhere to vent their excess energy, and their muscles and bones were lazy. Shen Tang asked them to allocate troops to suppress the bandits, which was exactly what they wanted.
Among them, Shang Nan Shaochong is the most active.
At dawn, he hurriedly led his people out, over mountains and ridges, up and down the water, and galloped his horse to chase the bandits away. Jiang Sheng took this opportunity to raise opinions with Shen Tang, encouraging the common people to report the whereabouts of the bandits to the government. The common people who are the first to report and provide true information will be rewarded by the government with a catty of corn!
As a member of Lu Xia, he is well aware of the folk customs of this place, and the village and clan will cover and conceal each other. Many of the bandits were their relatives who went out among them. When they saw Shao Chong and others leading their troops there, they would even tip off the news.
The efficiency of suppressing bandits is not very high.
When Shen Tang heard the words, he felt that it was reasonable, and made a modification on this basis—according to the scale of the bandits reported, the common people who first reported could get different grades of rewards. There are not many rewards, but it has a fatal attraction for the common people! Except for the government office, other counties and towns in Luxia County have been ruined, and the grain from the common people's autumn harvest has also been robbed.
Without food, many of them would not be able to survive this cold winter, and even a little food is precious.
Precious enough to betray the bandits of the same village and family who had tacitly helped them conceal them before.
First, the administration also said that it would keep secrets and not disclose the identity of the reporter. Second, this move is not to betray the same clan, but to protect more good people of the same clan who keep their own laws and protect them from bandits.
By using both soft and hard methods, the bandits in Luxia County disappeared within seven days, and finally it even developed to four martial arts fighters competing for a bandit suppression mission. The bandits are gone, but the mess left behind doesn't stop there.
The letters to the other three companies were also responded.
The four families came out to rule Luxia County together.
Until Zheng Qiao Wangting sent a new county guard.
But everyone knew in their hearts that this possibility was unlikely. They were busy fighting with King Zhu's faction, so they didn't have the time to care about these trivial matters. As everyone knows, someone really noticed, but not Zheng Qiao.
It was Zheng Qiao's senior brother, Yan An.
Yan An did not approve of Zheng Qiao sending troops to drive away the vagrants and grassroots bandits. He would either completely suppress them, or take them in for his own use and drive them to other places. Not to mention harming the common people in other places, it would also make this group expand and expand, which would eventually lead to a catastrophe.
But Zheng Qiao just didn't listen.
Yan An was so angry that he didn't go to the office for half a month.
"Hey, why is Xingning doing this?"
The outside world said that Yan An was so angry that he lost his temper with Zheng Qiao, and some people said that he was heartbroken by Zheng Qiao's various absurd behaviors, and he planned to take this opportunity to retreat bravely. Only his wife knew that Yan An was really in poor health...
Under the rage, he was poured into the body by the cold wind.
Actually lingering and sick for half a month.
Yan An sat up with the support of his wife.
Drink today's soup.
He pressed down the base of his tongue, the bitterness pierced into his heart like a thin needle, and said softly: "Some things have to be done by someone. Not for your husband, but also for others."
Madam didn't say anything after hearing this, but her young eyes were stained with deeper melancholy, and she helped him put on the cloak.
The air was quiet for a long time.
Yan An suddenly let out a chuckle.
Madam looked at him suspiciously.
Yan An said: "It's the news that Zi falsely reported."
Hearing it was "Zi Xu", Madam Dai's eyebrows stretched: "Oh, it must be a happy event to still make you laugh out loud."
With a little difficulty, Yan An lifted up the cloak that fell off his shoulders, and said: "It's hard to say whether it's a happy event or not. There was news from Zixu that the common people who were driven away by the younger brother were kicked by a piece of iron when they passed through Luxia County. plate."
Madam thought about it carefully, and was surprised: "Didn't Xingning say that the governor of Lu County was fierce and aggressive, brave but not resourceful, nepotism, and useless? He was able to defend Lu Xia County? Depressed?"
Yan'an's way of scribes is quite easy to use.
Basically, he has figured out all the famous people in various places. His wife and he have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they are also regarded as the same family. They have a close relationship. Yan An basically has no secrets from her. Madam naturally also knew Yan An's evaluation of those characters.
He didn't think highly of the Sheriff Lu. If you say that people have bad eyesight, you will definitely stumble on your relatives.
Could it be possible that the headwind turned the tables?
Yan An said: "The one surnamed Lu is dead."
"Dead? How about..."
"The man died, but he asked for help from the surrounding area early in the morning. Shen Youli, who had been unable to see through her husband, actually asked for help from Nan, Tianhai, and Yiru, and gathered troops to help Lu. Killed, the whole family was murdered by the villain, only two people are left alive..." Yan An sighed slightly.
"Just this matter can make Xing Ning so happy?" Ever since Zheng Qiao became an official, she hadn't seen Yan An smile. Occasionally, the smile was faint, fleeting, and so fast that it made people feel dazed, "Could it be Shen What did you do again?"
Yan An told what he knew.
In this world, the two of them can't see through.
One is Zheng Qiao.
One is Shen Tang.
If the younger brother Zheng Qiao is black inside and out, paranoid and radical, cruel and bloodthirsty, then Shen County Sheriff is another extreme. If the latter is the same outside and inside, it will be a great blessing for the common people, but he is worried that this is just an appearance.
There is truth beneath the surface.
Mrs. said: "Isn't this very good?"
Yan An sighed: "Maybe."
Madam saw that there was an indelible fatigue between his brows, so she told him to lie down and have a rest, so as not to worry about it.
At the same time, the inner court of the palace.
Zheng Qiao is carefully watching the information about Yan'an.
The spy leader on one side looked puzzled.
Yan An's loyalty is well known throughout the court. Everyone hated Yan An's stupid loyalty and stubbornness, but they were so devoted to people like Zheng Qiao, and at the same time they sympathized with Yan An's wasting all his knowledge on people like Zheng Qiao. This person is pitiful and hateful.
But Zheng Qiao doesn't seem to think so.
Seeing that the spy leader seemed hesitant to speak, he sneered and lightly threw the report on the desk, and said in a low voice, "If you have any questions, just ask? Is it because you are worried that Gu will kill you too?"
"I do have one thing that I don't understand - it's clear that Lord Yan is loyal to the Lord..." The spy leader said more and lowered his head, fearing that Zheng Qiao would be beheaded in a fit of rage, but fortunately this did not happen. .
He also heard Zheng Qiao sneer.
"Allegiance?"
It seems to have heard some funny words.
He said again: "You said that Yan Xingning is loyal to Gu?"
The spy leader was puzzled: "Isn't it?"
Whether it was him or the other ministers, everyone believed that Yan An was loyal to Zheng Qiao, even though he knew that this junior was hopelessly dead, they never gave up on him. Cleaning up the mess for Zheng Qiao time and time again, but Zheng Qiao's efficiency in building up the mess is much faster than his repairing it, and he doesn't listen to persuasion every now and then, which makes the situation worse and worse.
Maybe Zheng Qiao is the only one in this world who can't see this.
Zheng Qiao shook her head, said with a sarcasm with a smile: "You guys, you still don't understand Senior Brother Gu..."
The spy leader stopped speaking.
I just thought in my heart: [One person may be wrong, but how can thousands of pairs of eyes see it wrong? Yan'an's loyalty... Do you still need to doubt? When that lingering sick man, if he heard what his junior brother said, would he feel chilled? 】
Think again.
Zheng Qiao didn't do enough things to make Yan Xingning feel bad? Suspicious and threatened before, Yan'an's wife and daughter were actually invited to visit the palace for a day. They were guests in name, but they were actually hostages. If it wasn't for Yan An's foolishness and loyalty to a certain level, it would have been reversed long ago.
Zheng Qiao raised his hand and waved away the leader of the secret agents, and burned the letter under the candlelight. At the end, he took out the saber at his waist and wiped it carefully. Looking at the sword body reflecting Lingling white light under the candlelight, he sneered and pushed the saber back into the scabbard.
"Loyalty?" He murmured to the candlelight, "But in this world, there are only traitors and traitors who want to die alone!"
"Brother, don't let Gu down."
Within two days, Zheng Qiao hurriedly recalled Yan An because of his busy affairs in the DPRK and China, and the latter also just recovered from his illness.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
After the unremitting efforts of Shen Tang and others, Luxia County finally stabilized. Seeing that the timing was almost right, Shen Tang prepared to go back. After all, she is the Sheriff of Heyin, and the three families of Tianhai sent someone to take over, and the first seven of Sheriff Lu have already passed away, so it is not good for her to drag on.
So, she left Kang Shi and a thousand soldiers.
Pull the rest of the people back.
Hey hey hey, it will be the first month again in a month or two.
Shen Tang is planning to hold a larger-scale second Fugu City New Year's Games this time, and invites the three companies to send some "players" to compete with each other. Well, the real reason is to attract those who take advantage of these places to come from their own land to consume.
_(:з」∠)_
On the way back, she dawdled.
Drag the distance to double the original one.
Gu Chi and the others were eagerly looking forward to it.
"Why did my lord come back so late?"
Shen Tang said his plan in a low voice: "This is not to delay for a few more days. Why don't the three prostitutes work for us? As soon as I come back, they will definitely submit their resignation..."
