Chapter 1318 1318: The Bastard Like the Wishing Fountain (Part 2) [Please vote]
How could there be new usury money?
This issue started from the day before.
Cui Zhi's cousin is a decisive person. It took only one day after Shen Tang ordered someone to send the portrait to her, but the other party responded.
The other party took a fancy to 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 a good eye. These three are all good. They can be regarded as the best of the best."
Cui Zhi seemed to have broken the jar.
He smiled calmly and asked if the three of them were getting married.
These information are not updated in real time. In the meantime, someone may have been captured and made a son-in-law. If they are not married yet, they can arrange a meeting. To be honest, Cui Zhi is also moved. The three of them are either from a small clan or have no father. Mother, we can discuss it and let the man get married. Cui Zhi's retirement is a certainty. With his retirement, some old grudges in the past will 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 a good road for them.
At least, don't go too bumpy.
Cui has made too many enemies and needs to win over new allies.
Recruiting is one of the reasonable channels.
"Except for the one with Feng Luo, the other two are still single."
Feng Luo stayed 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 concerns. There were still opportunities to go to the battlefield and make contributions, but the old mother Just this one.
Accompany her to the end and leave no regrets to either party.
But the regret of the widowed mother is 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 passed away with a smile half a month later. Why did Shen Tang know so clearly? Because this matter is still a matter of prayer. Good at telling.
The Qishan Society knew about it because the betrothed woman was an official of the Zhongshu Province and a concubine in the family of the Zhongshu She. When she and Shen Tang were regularly communicating and reporting, she mentioned it. Shen Tang’s idea was the brains of this Zhongshu She. If you don’t know clearly, look for opportunities to rise and fall secretly.
The wish of the man's widowed mother is quite selfish, but it is reasonable, but the woman's elder who agreed to the marriage is different. She is purely mentally ill. She wronged her daughter for the sake of a dying man, and the marriage proposal was hasty and the marriage was simple and unethical. The mother died of illness in half a month, and when the woman got married, she had to pay close attention to 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 such a person with such evil intentions be able to hold the important position of a member of the Zhongshushe? He is simply blinded by profit lard!
When Qi Shan received a reply, he was demoted after a month.
At this moment, I still don’t know where I offended my immediate boss. I vented my bitterness in private with the censor with whom I was close, and Qishan and the censor were scolding each other on a daily basis. The excitement was even worse than at 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 was more interested in the other two, who were younger and more handsome - judging from the portrait. Like this.
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, two different styles, one is a sunny man and bold, the other is a masculine knight-errant.
Both are die-hard fans of Gong Xiqiu.
Well, this can be seen why they are single at the age of marriage, and they are also keen to run to the battlefield. For the opportunity to fight alongside their idols at close range, these two also worked very hard.
Shen Tang spat 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 the right day.
Cui Zhi was caught off guard by her: "Today?"
No, are you so anxious?
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Otherwise, how about setting 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 an inspection today, and I will take them both with me later. You can also take them with me. Pretend that your cousin is passing by, bump into each other, and get along naturally, which will help you see the incompatibility 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's really the lawless routine in the countryside, they lock men and women together 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 stroll with the officials of the royal court. When strolling, certain NPC events can always be triggered like the players. The cause of the incident was that people from the Criminal Department and Bibu Division wandered far away for game, and a few people accidentally I got lost, and it took me a long time to find an inhabited village. When I was borrowing water from a villager, I heard a miserable cry for help. They heard the noise and wanted to go to save people, but they were blocked by the villagers, so they started fighting. The villagers had no scruples, but a few people It's not easy to make a fatal move, and everyone loses the prize.
Kang Shi saw several people dumbfounded.
When several people saw Kang, they felt like they were seeing their old father.
Everyone was crying and whimpering.
In the end, Kang Shi borrowed people and confiscated the entire 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 could it be considered a crime? Shen Tang was almost laughed out of anger and asked Kang Shi to be severely punished. Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, to serve as a warning to others. The heavy weight is not enough to deter bad customs! Both parents were imprisoned and did not frighten the unruly people, until they were punished with kidney flogging in public!
Cui Zhi's face almost twitched.
"The punishment of external kidney flogging?"
Kang Guo still has this punishment???
Just hearing the name can cause phantom pain.
"Well, the spectators came back and said that both of them were beaten to pieces."
The scene is cruel and inhumane, but the deterrent effect is surprisingly good. After this incident, such bad behavior disappeared in the local area, and no conscience-stricken iceman dared to instigate it anymore. Parents with boys in the family also did not dare to initiate such behavior again. idea.
Kang Shi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately proposed to join the criminal law of Kang State.
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 were young and promising, but it was still difficult to meet Shen Tang. Shen Tang remembered them, which made them excited and at a loss. Shen Tang also directly explained the purpose, just purely 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”?
Is Cui so powerful that she deserves Kang Guo's sacrifice?
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 must also 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 to inflict such injustice on themselves. The master only said that they wanted to take a look, and the two of them did not dress up specially. In addition, there was General Gongxi with them, which was not pleasant at all. It also disappeared into thin air.
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 I soon found that I was not happy that it was too early.
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. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing relatively flat plains, and crisscrossed by waterways, it is considered a good land for both offense and defense. Shen Tang personally brought people over for inspection. I also want to see where can be better developed. All the nearby farmland that can be reclaimed has been opened. Maybe other routes can be used to make up for the economic shortcomings, such as developing waterways? Revitalizing several nearby states and counties? In this way, 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 waterways 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? They are all treated equally! Natural disasters often affect a large area. All countries know it, but they are unwilling to change it.
Shen Tang couldn't help complaining: "If they had such a selfless idea as 'everyone is for one, and I am for everyone', how could there be such a tragic situation of people starving to death in the wilderness? The world would have been unified long ago... For people, both sides Losing is greater than winning alone.”
Every country's national strength is strong, which is equivalent to its weakness.
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, was very happy. Come over too.
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. Qin Li followed As soon as 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 prepared countless complaints but didn't know where to start. Is Kang Guo's painting style too Caotai team? It seems that his decision to retire is right.
The atmosphere of the blind date between the three of them was quite acceptable.
Although it was 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 Nujun was resentful of her ex-husband's cold treatment, and she also tried her best to avenge her previous shame. What else could be better than being abandoned? Will you feel more proud after getting married in a glamorous way?
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. In Cui Nu's case, Within the scope of Jun's life, the two of them are both ignorant. In addition to these differences, they also have many common topics, such as their hobbies of poetry, books, wine and tea.
While chatting, one of them found an excuse to quit.
Colleagues and Cui Nujun can chat better.
If it can be accomplished, 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 smelled 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 pulled people from the village. They chased him from the end of the village to the head of the village. The son of the family who was beaten was a gambler. He borrowed usury money and the debt was collected after seven days of repayment."
"Usury money? Debt collection?"
Usury money has disappeared in Kangguo Ming, but outside Kangguo, it is a hugely profitable business. Some large households have made their fortunes by relying on their ancestors' loan sharking. When my lord comes, those who loan loan sharks should be a little winkful. Consciously tie your tail.
How did you bump into the Lord?
I don't know whether to call it bold or unlucky.
"He even cut off the debtor's leg." Driven by the desire to survive, the gambler dragged out a bloody 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 then 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 quite good, and he could still receive customers after two years of raising him. The gambler's father was pushed and hit a rock during the dispute and died. There were more than 20 people in the gang. , all of them are accompanied by guys, how can ordinary farmers dare to provoke them? But there is a giant Buddha on site that they cannot afford to offend!
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, who stopped the bleeding in time and saved his life. He was afraid of death, so he trembled and replied: "Xiao... Xiaomin borrowed it eight days ago..."
"Eight days ago?"
Shen Tang pinched his fingers to calculate the time.
Then 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 her 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, let's check."

In the end, this drama should point to Cui Long to deal with the Cui family, but Cui Zhi found out in advance and transferred the person. Tang Mei also took the opportunity to act, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and scraping a sum of money.
