Chapter 634 Shu Road Difficulty (1)
March is coming, and the rain is rainy and scattered.〔〔[(
The peach blossom forest outside Shehong City has withered, and the pink petals are scattered all over the ground. From a distance, the river beach seems to be covered with a pink carpet.
After more than two months of competition, Huang Wenqing's patience was almost exhausted.
The young lady was like a ghost, and her whereabouts were hard to find. He used Chen Zi'ang as bait several times to try to lure her into being deceived, but he did not expect that she was seen through several times and caused many losses to lose many people. Roughly speaking, in the past two months, Huang Wenqing had at least three confidants and more than a dozen subordinates. Although the number was small, it was enough to make people panic.
"Mr. Huang, you can't drag it on like this anymore."
Sitting in the study of the county government office, Duan Jian said in a deep voice.
Looking at his expression, he was full of solemnity. But if you observe carefully, you will see a gloating smile in his eyes.
Outside the window, the drizzle was drizzling.
Huang Wenqing stood in front of the window with his back facing Duan Jian.
Although he didn't turn around, he could feel the ridicule in Duan Jian's heart.
Huang Wenqing and Duan Jian work for the same person, but they are also wary of each other. Duan Jian looks down on Huang Wenqing's merchant background, and Huang Wenqing is also very disgusted with Duan Jian's greed. In short, if it were not forbidden, the two would not have come together at all. Previously, Huang Wenqing did not allow Duan Jian to harm Chen Zi'ang, not only to lure young mothers to appear, but also to protect Chen Zi'ang. In any case, Chen Zi'ang is a famous scholar. Although Huang Wenqing is a merchant, he is also a scholar. In his heart, he still hopes to save Chen Zi'ang's life.
As for Duan Jian, he was naturally dissatisfied with Huang Wenqing.
In his opinion, Huang Wenqing cut off his financial path... If it weren't for Huang Wenqing's obstruction, Duan Jian would have taken Chen Zi'ang's wealth for himself. But now, if Chen Zi'ang is not dead, he will not succeed, and he will naturally feel dissatisfied.
In Duan Jian's view, Huang Wenqing's loss of troops and generals was a very pleasant thing.
However, he also knew that Huang Wenqing's status in the eyes of his lord was far beyond what he could compare to as a demoted official.
Therefore, even though Duan Jian was dissatisfied, he could only cooperate with Huang Wenqing.
"What the county magistrate said is very much, and I also think that we can't delay it anymore!"
Huang Wenqing slowly turned around, looked at Duan Jian, and said word by word: "When a quick knife cuts the mess, Chen Zi'ang will be executed in three days. This time, no matter whether the little girl will appear or not, I will not stop the county magistrate's decision. What do you think?"
Duan Jian was stunned and then smiled.
He knew very well why Huang Wenqing changed his attitude.
It's very simple. With the mysterious "little girl" taking action one after another, the Huang family suffered heavy losses.
Huang Wenqing's influence in Shehong also became a little unstable with successive accidents. According to Duan Jian, some of Shehong's group leaders seemed to have begun to refuse cooperation with the Huang family. Of course, that kind of rejection was not a distorted refusal, but a sudden loss of doing his best in the open and secretly. If this continues, the Huang family will inevitably be greatly damaged.
The reason why Huang Wenqing was so decisive was that if he wanted to restore the influence of the Huang family in Shehong, he would have to ask for help from the government.
To the paragraph, this is nothing.
He came to Shehong to seek wealth, not to be a local emperor.
Duan Jian also wanted to return to the Central Plains, which was a truly prosperous place. But if he wanted to go back, he had to have some money to manage. Although the treatment of foreign officials has been greatly improved since the Wu Dynasty, it is far from enough to rely on that little salary.
Huang Wenqing sought power, while Duan Jian sought money.
So, after Huang Wenqing spoke, Duan Jian agreed without hesitation.
"Wen Huang, there is one thing I want to remind you."
"Please give advice from the county master."
Duan Jian stood up, walked to Huang Wenqing's side, and lowered his voice: "In the opinion of the county, there is no problem with the previous designs by Mr. Huang. But he set up several ambushes, but they all ended in failure, which is a bit strange."
Huang Wenqing's eyes narrowed and he looked at Duan Jian.
"What do you say about the county master?"
Duan Jian said: "Wen Huang's plan is excellent and comprehensive.
However, the "Xiao Niang" can always see through the ambush of Huang Weng, and can always hit Huang Weng's flaws... In addition, according to Huang Weng, the "Xiao Niang" is not a native of Shehong. But she can hide in the county and even Huang Weng can't find clues... Haha, the "Xiao Niang" was protected by Chen Boyu before, and it was normal for Huang Weng to find him.
But now, Chen Boyu has been imprisoned by the county.
As far as the county knows, although Chen Boyu is famous in Shehong, he has always been noble and has no foundation in the city.
The reason why "Xiao Niang" can hide so well means that there must be accomplices in this county town.
If Mr. Huang cannot find that 'Little Lady', it will be no easy task to find her. Please think about it three times."
When Huang Wenqing heard this, he nodded slightly.
He despised Duan Jian's insatiable greed, but he must admit that this guy's mind was not simple.
Otherwise, he would not have surrendered to his lord after the incident and spent all his money in exchange for the position of Shehong County Magistrate.
This guy is greedy, but his method is very clever.
Huang Wenqing closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he whispered: "Why can the county magistrate teach me?"
"Ha, it's very simple. If you want to deal with that 'little girl', you must find her accomplice in Shehong.
As long as she finds her accomplice, she will have nowhere to hide... and may even become a headless fly. At that time, if Huang Weng plans to lure her into her, he will definitely capture her in one fell swoop. Even if she can't catch her, she can still kill her."
"Can the county master teach me how to find out her accomplices?"
Duan Jian laughed loudly when he heard this.
"Wen Huang, this is very simple!"
As he spoke, he walked to Huang Wenqing and signaled Huang Wenqing to come over.
"Wen Huang, you only need it at that time..."
Duan Jian muttered in Huang Wenqing's ear. Huang Wenqing frowned at first, but gradually, his brows stretched out, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Wen Huang, I know that you don't want me to look down on me, but it doesn't matter.
This county seeks wealth, which is different from what Huang Weng wants. We serve as the lord and should have worked sincerely. After this matter is over, this county will try to leave Shehong and seek to return to the Central Plains. Huang Weng can continue to be free and easy in Shehong.
But before that, let’s give up on prejudice.
I will help Huang Weng regain control of Shehong, but Huang Weng, don’t block my wealth... I wonder what Huang Weng thinks the county’s idea is?"
This is a real villain! And without any hiding or deceiving.
Huang Wenqing felt even more despised Duan Jian.
But at the same time, he also felt a little afraid of him...
It is best not to provoke such people. If they can get along well, they should get along well. Otherwise, they will definitely take revenge.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Huang Wenqing's face.
"What the county master said is very true, you and me should be loyal to each other.
Huang appreciates the friendship between the county master! Please rest assured that after this matter is over, I will definitely speak well in front of the lord.”
Duan Jian is very powerful, and Huang Wenqing is not a person who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha's name.
While he was grateful, he was actually warning Duan Jian: The road is facing the sky, go one side... You are indeed very powerful and have a brain. However, behind me, I have my lord’s favor for me, so you’d better not think about making a decision.
Duan Jian couldn't hear anything in Huang Wenqing's words, but nodded indifferently.
"Then I will trouble Mr. Huang at that time."
As they spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled.
But there is a bit of sincerity in that laughter. Perhaps only Duan Jian and Huang Wenqing understand...
As night fell, the drizzle in Shehong County did not stop.
The young lady sat at the door of the Zangbing Cave, holding her legs in her hands, staring blankly at the hazy rain and fog outside.
The old Niuto has been away for more than two months. I don’t know if he has arrived in Luoyang, and I don’t know if he has seen Brother Yizi.
She could not remember exactly what Brother Yizi looked like, but she knew that Brother Yizi would definitely come to help her.
The clouds think of clothes and flowers think of appearance, and the spring breeze blows the threshold and the dew is thick.
If it weren't for the presence of the group of jade, it would have met under the moon on the Yao platform.
In my mind, Brother Yizi's gentle voice echoed: Young mom, remember, this is the secret between Brother Yizi and you...
She might not remember what Brother Yizi looked like, but she would never forget that voice.
Pick up a bottle of Qingping from beside you and cook it... The young lady didn't drink, but she put the Qingpingping wine bottle next to her.
"The clouds think of clothes, flowers think of appearance, the spring breeze blows through the threshold and the dew is thick... Brother Yizi, when will you come!"
