Qi Shan raised his brows slightly and said, "Why is it unnecessary? Gu Wangchao, no one should know better than you the hidden dangers of not eradicating these legacy poisons. You are tantamount to raising tigers and causing trouble. It is better to take this opportunity to kill them all. Then you can sit back and relax.”
Almost the moment after Qi Shan finished speaking, Shen Tang, who was scratching his head at his desk, suddenly raised his head.
"Murderous!"
Gu Chi said: "It's an illusion."
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Chi pursed his thin, sickly green lips, looked at Qi Shan with a half-smile, and said, "Qi Yuanliang, you are really becoming more and more lax. Haha, what's going on? Kill the enemy and take revenge. , does that make you slack off so much?”
After saying that, his smile suddenly disappeared.
After Gu Chi rolled up his sleeves and left, Shen Tang poked his head out from behind the piles of slips, frowned and asked, "You two had a quarrel..."
Although Gu Chi's sophistry was an "illusion", it was impossible for Shen Tang not to be able to distinguish between true and false murderous intent. Gu Chi clearly had some murderous intent just now. Even if it was not serious enough to take action, the warning was very strong.
The second half of Gu Chi's sentence is also intriguing.
Deliberately spreading its wings in the minefield of prayer.
If they weren't arguing?
She performed a handstand on the spot to handle official documents.
Qi Shan said perfunctorily: "Nothing..."
Shen Tang said: "Yes or no? I have the ability to judge."
Qishan knew that Shen Tang was not easy to fool, but he was not prepared to fool him - he was careless just now and accidentally touched Gu Chi's reverse scale, which was as serious as someone holding the deceased "True" in front of him. · Yuan Liang” is joking.
Ask yourself, if it were Qi Shan, he would definitely draw his sword and fight that man. Gu Chi just changed his face and released his murderous intent. To a certain extent, he was quite restrained. This incident also reminded Qi Shan that he should tell Shen Tang Let’s talk about Gu Chi’s taboos.
Shen Tang just listened from beginning to end, and he guessed a little bit, and asked tentatively: "Could it be related to the so-called 'legacy poison'?"
Qi Shan nodded: "Gu Chi's homeland was destroyed a few years ago. You should know this. That small country was about the same size as the Chu State and could not withstand the strong attack from the Xin State. The old master of the Xin State had a difficult time with his heirs, so listen to your words The alchemist advised that he did not kill all the nobles of the small country, but opened up one side and dismissed them all as common people, and then bad things happened..."
Shen Tang listened with great interest.
"Bad thing? Hiding among the people to carry out sabotage and assassination?"
Qi Shan smiled bitterly: "It would be great if it was just like this. These nobles who have lost their country and become common people need to be self-reliant, but they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths. They are rich and noble, and they have clothes to put out their hands to eat and open their mouths. How can they get used to the life of common people?" "
I dreamed back at midnight, and the dream was full of palaces and pavilions inlaid with gold and jade, with endless delicacies from mountains and seas. But when I opened my eyes, what I saw was a low and leaky shabby hut. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the thunderous shouts of the neighbors next door. snore.
Naturally, they hated Xin Guo very much.
Forming gangs and running around secretly trying to restore the country.
However, the Xin State, which was at its peak of national power, and the old leader of the Xin State, who was sitting on the throne, could not move the slightest bit, so they could only tolerate it in a roundabout way. In order to survive and accumulate armed forces, they turned into bandits and planned to cause trouble everywhere, but the progress was too slow. !
Over time, the reality of embarrassment and the unrecoverable past in dreams caused their psychology to begin to change.
Therefore, they transferred their hatred to the indifferent remnants of the motherland - these remnants were originally just humble common people. Life or death was not important to the old nobles. If they could die for the great cause of restoring the country, they could be considered loyal.
And those old ministers of the motherland who were loyal to the new dynasty!
If the old officials are willing to support their great cause of restoring the country, it will be fine if they go on the same boat. If they are not willing-
Haha, is it necessary to keep such a sycophant?
Qishan said: "...I don't know everything comprehensively. I only know that after Gu Chi was an official, his ancestors and fathers served the Lord of his homeland for two generations. But the general trend was irresistible, and the needs of the people under his rule, the family voted for the Xin Kingdom. ."
Faced with the nobles of the motherland who came to their door, they did not dare to refuse directly, but they also did not dare to agree directly - the State of Xin kept a close eye on them, the surrendered ministers. After thinking about it, they prepared to spend most of their wealth to send those nobles of the motherland away. Counting benevolence to the end.
Shen Tang recalled Gu Chi's way of being a scholar, and then thought about part of the background story told by Qi Shan, and realized that the matter was not simple. As expected, the nobles of the homeland were dissatisfied with the perfunctory treatment of the Gu family and his son, and suspected that they were preparing to sell themselves out in exchange for glory, wealth, and high official status. Lu, I am worried about long nights and many dreams, and I want to eradicate the roots!
Shen Tang was stunned when he heard this.
"What is this brain circuit called?"
It is true that the ancestors and fathers of the Gu family were loyal to the motherland, but now that the dynasty has changed, they are still willing to spend most of their wealth. How dare these lunatics still want to kill people and silence them?
Euphemistically called: cutting the grass and eradicating the roots???
"Did they succeed?"
"If we didn't succeed, what would happen to Gu Wangchao today?"
After getting most of the Gu family's wealth, he suddenly turned ruthless, backhanded the black tiger to rip out Gu Chi's heart, captured Gu Chi's grandfather, and used his grandfather as a threat to trick Gu Chi's father into attending the appointment alone. At the same time, he divided his forces to make a surprise attack on the Gu family members who had been secretly settled in the farm.
The farm was burned down.
Only Gu Chi from the Gu family survived. This was because Gu Chi went out at the invitation of his friends. If he had been at the farm that day, he might not have been able to escape the fate of being killed. Gu Chi was the eldest son in the family, and he had another son who was less than six years old. A 7-year-old brother, a seven-year-old sister, and a seven-month-old fetus in the mother's womb, which is also said to be a baby girl.
Shen Tang seemed to have a scene in front of his eyes of Gu Chi, a boy, returning from a night of hangover. He saw a ruined farm in the distance. His heart skipped a beat. He stumbled off his horse and pulled out the charred corpses of unrecognizable relatives from the ruins. …
She asked Qishan: "Yuanliang, Wangchao's way of being a scribe...could it be...that he awakened not long after that?"
Qi Shan said: "Maybe..."
He also learned about Gu Chi's life experience by accident.
Shen Tang asked again: "What about his enemies?"
"I don't know, maybe he's still alive, maybe he's dead. I guess the former is more likely. These are all what I heard from his fellow villagers..." Qi Shan changed the subject and said, "His fellow villagers also said a piece of news. It is said that Gu Chi was engaged to someone before."
Shen Tang: "???"
Is the topic span so wide???
"Then what?"
It sounds strange.
The average age for people in this world to get married is very young.
But the people around him, Qi Shan, Chu Yao, Kang Shi and Gu Chi seemed to have never mentioned their wives and children. As for Gong Shuwu - the Gong family was confiscated and exiled by Zheng Qiao. Even if Gong Shuwu had a wife and children, most of them were gone. Encountered an unexpected event.
Of course, it is also possible that Gong Shuwu is obsessed with martial arts and has no intention of being a man or woman, so he celebrates Singles Day on time every year.
How many people are praying for?
Qishan said: "The woman he is engaged to is said to be the daughter of Gu's father's best friend in officialdom, and the two families are well matched. Unlike Gu's father, the woman is closer to the nobles of the homeland and has secretly provided him with various conveniences over the years. , running around. After something happened to the Gu family, he dedicated his daughter to the nobles of his homeland..."
Shen Tang: "..."
Suddenly I felt that Gu Chi was really miserable.
That is very miserable!
Qi Shan sighed and said: "I told my lord this because I was worried that my lord would accidentally touch his pain point. Gu Wangchao is not a good person. He stayed. He did not deny his sincerity, but he also had to consider the situation and had to compromise. ."
In other words, if Shen Tang violated his taboo without knowing it, it wouldn't be too convenient for him to kill his master...
In today's world, national political power changes frequently, and literati change jobs and fight against their old masters. It is never a character stain worthy of criticism, and it has nothing to do with moral corruption.
The relationship between master and minister must be maintained by both parties.
Shen Tang nodded solemnly and responded.
"Well, I understand."
The best way not to expose someone's scars is to pretend that you don't know, and Shen Tang did exactly that, but——
Shen Tang held his chin in his hand, lost in thought and uninterested in official matters.
Qishan was curious: "Why is my lord troubled?"
"I just suddenly thought of a question - Wangchao is alone now, but he had an engagement before, but it didn't work out. Where are you and Wuhui? When the situation in Fugu City stabilizes, should we send someone to find their whereabouts? come over?"
As a qualified boss, you should care about all aspects of your subordinates. Only when their families are harmonious can they focus on working for her. But Shen Tang's worries are obviously unnecessary. Qishan said calmly: "Shan is a lonely person."
Shen Tang: "..."
In this era, are there still single people in their 20s and 44s?
Still alive!
"Where's Wuhui?"
Qi Shan sneered and asked: "Master, do you know how high the vision of the 'Three Heroes of Chu' is? Not to mention being the daughter of a noble family, at least she must have matching talent and appearance. Chu Wuhui became famous at a young age and was arrogant. However, his life has experienced ups and downs since then. …”
Specifically, ups and downs...
The highlight of life has not been solved. After falling again and again, do you still want to find it? If Chu Wuhui gets married, the partner will probably be the wife who works in the kitchen of Yuehua Building in Xiaocheng. Hmm, no need to ask, he is also an old man unmarried man.
Shen Tang: "...then Mr. Ji Shou shouldn't be..."
Kang Shi's family is considered the most complete among them.
There should be elders who can help arrange the marriage.
Who would have thought that Qi Shan showed something meaningful: "Does the Lord know that his way of being a scribe has defeated five consecutive ministers?"
With Kang Shi's family background and talents, it shouldn't be difficult to get out of singlehood, and his family did tell him about his marriage. However, Kang Shi couldn't stand up to his failure. He awakened to the scribe's way too early, and he still had such bad attributes. It was miserable.
The engaged woman either eloped with her lover or suffered from serious illness and minor disasters, including fires, thefts, and conflicts with the elders of the clan. The six rites of acceptance, asking for names, accepting invitations, accepting invitations, asking for dates, and welcoming each other in person are the most difficult of fates. Only persist until the "request period".
Shen Tang: "..."
Good guy——
Isn’t this too tragic?
Shen Tang asked: "What then?"
Are you forced to be single???
Qi Yuanliang couldn't help laughing.
Whispering gossip - The expert explained that Kang Shi's way of being a scholar was too overbearing, so he had to either find someone who was equally overbearing to restrain him, or find someone who could support him. Except for these two situations, anyone who came would be punished. Overcome death.
Shen Tang: "..."
Why is she speechless?
Because before, literary scholars and brave warriors were only for men. Kang Shi wanted to be single but he could only choose to break up with someone, but he was not good at it, so he was forced to be single. Anyway, this life is so short. , you will get used to it after a long time.
Shen Tang: "..."
Knowing so much gossip at once, Shen Tang was a little overwhelmed. Just when Zhao Feng came over to submit the prisoner list, Shen Tang asked Zhao Feng how his family was doing. Zhao Feng looked puzzled and scratched his head: "...It's very good. I'm thinking of Mr. Shen." ."
Zhao Feng asked casually.
"Why did Mr. Shen suddenly ask this question?"
"...I thought General Zhao hadn't gotten married yet..."
It seems like I'm just special here.
Catch a single dog.
Zhao Feng laughed heartily, thinking that Shen Tang was old enough to admire her at a young age, which was normal. He stroked his beard and said: "I am so old, how can I not have a family yet? My children are older than Shen Jun. How about..."
A brave warrior has abundant Qi and blood, and his aging is delayed when he reaches a certain age. In addition, he takes good care of himself, so it is difficult to see it.
Seeing that Shen Tang was hesitant to speak, Zhao Feng said quickly: "Does Mr. Shen have anything else to ask?"
Shen Tang asked: "How did General Zhao and his wife meet?"
Zhao Feng: "The First Lord protects the matchmaker."
This "first owner" is the previous boss.
Shen Tang's expression fell silent for a moment.
Does this mean she has to work part-time as Iceman???
No, these big problems in her account are too difficult. Either they are old, have a heartache, have a high vision, or have a hard life. Even Cupid shooting golden arrows with Gatling may not be able to solve it. How can she be considered a der? Shen Tang looked at her. The child collapsed.
These problems did not last long.
Then he was kicked away by a pile of government affairs put down by Gu Chi.
Shen Tang shouted: "Why are there so many more?"
Her butt had not left the seat for several hours. These official duties were tedious and boring. She would rather fight Gong Xiqiu twice with a sword than face this.
Gu Chi said expressionlessly: "It's been backlogged for several years."
The implication is that you can do several years of work in two days?
dream!!!
Shen Tang: "..."
During the day, they would deal with prisoners in various houses until dawn, and when it was dark, they would handle official duties until late at night. They would sleep for two hours and work for twenty-two hours. No hard-working person could bear such ravages.
Shen Tang's expression was filled with pain that he couldn't express.
Gu Chi said quietly: "Since the Lord knows, what do you want to do about those things that are not available?"
He thought Shen Tang had nothing to do.
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Chi said: "Most of what Qi Yuanliang said is true, but a small part of it is based on lies and is not credible. My lord, you should put business first, and don't worry that Chi will betray you easily. After all - you are different of."
Although it is common for literati and scribes to change jobs in this world, some literati will be stubborn once they are determined and will not abandon them easily. Only the relationship between king and minister can last long. If you taboo this or that, no matter how strong the relationship is, it will collapse.
After Gu Chi finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Tang's response, he took out a few thick brochures and handed them to Shen Tang. These were the trophies found by the seven selected families (tangkou), and they were also used to build Fugu City. Initial capital.
With this "income", the most basic construction and repairs can be put on the agenda.
For example, reclaiming wasteland and rebuilding various parts of Fugu City.
At the same time, refugees must be absorbed.
"Create wasteland? The fertile land collected by several families is not enough?" If Shen Tang remembers correctly, although there is a gap in financial resources among each family, the gap is not big. Even the Heyin Zhang family has more than 600 hectares of fertile land...
