Question: "Probably, maybe...Qin Qing, do you think there is such a possibility that he has turned from evil to good?"
Qin Li: "..."
Wu Xian said that he really could not defeat Shen Tang.
"Ask yourself, if the person who suffered heavy losses due to the epidemic was Shen Youli, and I had a good prescription to control the epidemic, do you think I would lend a helping hand?" Wu Xian carried the burden of being a polite corporal and a chivalrous gentleman, but He does not hesitate to be imperfect in front of his confidants, because he knows that what is false will always be false, and no one can pretend to be false all his life.
Especially in front of smart people.
The more perfect his disguise is at ordinary times, the easier it is for him to be rejected when his true face is revealed at critical moments, and the alienation will be faster and more complete.
Wu Xian doesn't need to be perfect in front of Qin Li.
He said frankly: "I don't know how."
Qin Li said in silence: "I will watch Shen Youli being dragged down. Perhaps thinking about the old alliance, I am willing to help the other party when they are at the end of their rope and have no choice but to exchange for a flawless reputation at the minimum price..."
Qin Li couldn't sit still.
"Lord, you..."
Wu Xian raised his hand to signal him to stop talking, and smiled casually: "If you can't compare, you can't compare. There's nothing I can't admit. It turns out that I judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, and I also made it difficult for Shen Youli to make things difficult many times. And I chose to put things aside..."
He regretted that the sickle used to cut leeks was too sharp.
Is Shen·Liao·Tang in pain?
Qin Li, as the biggest fan of Qi Shan, could not accept the reality, but the reality was placed in front of him, with irrefutable evidence. Perhaps - Qin Li was shaken for a moment in his heart - the lord had really guessed and plotted against him. Have you become a good person?
No no no!
It’s easy to change a country, but it’s hard to change one’s nature!
So many bloody examples throughout the ages!
"When the epidemic is completely gone, prepare a generous gift for Brother Shen. In these troubled times, the two families need to move around more and help each other to gain a foothold in the world." Wu Xian tested Qin Li's tone, but Qin Li did not "beat the mandarin ducks". Or clinging to evil plans.
Therefore, Wu Xian was satisfied.
Qin Li, as the biggest obstacle to the close relationship between the two families, had no objection. This alliance was confirmed. But, who would be the middleman between the two families? Wu Xian thought of Zhao Feng. Anyway, Zhao Feng was still returning favors in Heyin, so nothing would happen. Annoying the two masters.
Now, Wu Xian was not in a hurry to recall Zhao Feng.
Let him stay.
Let’s talk about it if Tianhai is short of people.
If Qin Li could hear Wu Xian's thoughts, he would probably make the Three Corpse Gods furious - this prodigal son!
Although Wu Xian lacks nothing but strong and brave warriors. He still has five who can fight like Zhao Dayi, but talents are always raised in other people's nests, and Wu Xian is not afraid of being killed by Zhao Dayi. Feng was seduced by Shen Youli?
Wu Xian is still in the mood to joke, but Gu Ren is not so relaxed - various epidemic prevention measures have also had a certain impact on his good reputation - he is famous for his "benevolence", and people from all over the country know that he is a lighthearted person. Wealth is good, and good people who pity the poor, but they don't burn corpses, they also dig out the corpses buried in the soil and burn them. This move is really appalling!
How can this be a benevolent and righteous gentleman?
They are clearly cruel thugs!
Except for Gu Ren's twelve sworn brothers, everyone else looked at him with a little fear. As the epidemic was under control, the matter spread to the ears of Gu Ren's father-in-law and his wife.
He is as old as his son-in-law.
Regardless of the fact that the epidemic area has not yet been lifted, they went straight to the door.
As Gu Ren's father-in-law, his soldiers did not dare to be too tough, and finally asked Chao Lian to take the lead and welcome him in.
"Why is the old lady here? It's dangerous here."
"If I don't come, I don't know how long I will be deceived by you!" Yue Zhang said in a bad tone, which made Gu Ren confused.
"Why did the old man say this?" Although the two were his son-in-law, they had been close friends before and talked about everything.
How did this pure friendship turn sour?
It’s a long story. One day, my father-in-law lamented that his youngest daughter had a bad temper. He didn’t like any of the young talents introduced by Ice Man, and insisted on marrying the best man in the world... He said he was "the best man in the world."
", in fact, he just fell in love with Gu Ren.
At that time, Gu Ren became a widower for the second time and had been a widow for two years. His father-in-law admired Gu Ren's conduct as a person and found it very rare, so he couldn't help but think of marrying his little daughter to him.
If the two families get closer, the daughter will also get what she wants.
Best of both worlds!
However, this strange father-in-law did not tell Gu Ren directly. Instead, he took a roundabout way and found Gu Ren's former father-in-law and his former father-in-law. They came forward to talk about the marriage and promised not to treat Gu Ren's children badly.
.
In short, Gu Ren's third marriage was settled.
The day before yesterday, I promoted my friend who was having a good time drinking and chatting to me as a father.
Gu Ren:【……】
At this moment, the third father-in-law was spraying his son-in-law.
He asked angrily about digging people's graves and burning their bodies.
Gu Ren did not hide anything and confessed the cause and effect.
Sanyue Zhang frowned: "Even so, this move is really against the harmony of heaven and is extremely disadvantageous to you! Then do what Shen Youli said to do, and you will do it? How do you know that this person has no harm to you? Even if he is
For the sake of the common people, we should be flexible."
Seeing that Gu Ren was emaciated for several times, his third wife-in-law took pity on his son-in-law and did not say too harsh words, but he had to convey his message properly! In order to prevent his son-in-law from being sold, he had to count the money for him!
How can a poor and useless person be able to establish a foothold in Heyin, a snow-white, plump, innocent and cute rabbit?
Who believes it!
Has Shen Youli ever exhumed and burned corpses?
Have you ever encouraged others to do it?
Gu Ren: "...Brother Shen has really done it."
Sanyue Zhang choked.
Changing the subject: "What about your reputation?"
Gu Ren was not too relieved about this, he just said quietly: "I, Gu Ziyi, did not rely on false reputation to gain a foothold in Shangnan. A good reputation is the icing on the cake. A bad reputation, how much can it hurt me? This
I have a clear conscience!"
He truly cherishes his feathers.
But he is not sick enough to be indifferent to right from wrong.
Shen Youli can regard the people who are not under his rule as so important and treat them honestly, can't he, Gu Ziyi, not be able to do that? It is his duty to protect the people under his rule.
He didn't take it to heart because of the mere name-calling.
Furthermore——
"Woman, it's not a good thing to have a good reputation."
Sanyue Zhang was puzzled: "Isn't it a good thing?"
Gu Ren twitched the corners of his lips and sneered.
"In the past, I was too gentle, and people mistakenly thought that Gu Ziyi was a soft and good old man who could be bullied! Anyone could step on me! In the current epidemic, no one takes me seriously!"
Sanyue Zhang didn't know where Gu Ren's anger came from.
Gu Ren said: "I wish I could think about it. The epidemic area has not yet been unblocked. How did this news reach your ears?"
The style of his rule was broad and moderate.
As long as the matter does not touch the principles, the major issue is usually reduced to a trivial matter. Of course, not many people offend it. Gu Ren has his own set of control skills and has never made any mistakes. However, this epidemic has Sound the alarm for him.
Should he change his style appropriately?
When there are few people, there is no harm in being in charge like this.
But as the number of people increases, the voices become louder and louder, and if we continue to follow the same old path, chaos will arise sooner or later.
Not everyone in Shangnan is accustomed to Gu Ziyi. Most people think that he is easy to bully, and they take advantage of the epidemic to occupy his mind and stir up trouble everywhere. They are acting like this, Gu Ren can't help but think that he is easy to bully. do something...
Aren't you letting down other people's good intentions?
Sanyue Zhang calmed down and thought carefully.
He was not as knowledgeable as his elder father-in-law or as shrewd as his second father-in-law, but as a wealthy gentry in Shangnan and a veteran of the vanity fair, he quickly figured out what was going on. He also heard that Gu Rensheng was determined to scare the monkeys, so he naturally supported it.
San Yue's father-in-law came in a hurry and was also worried.
Since Gu Ren has a plan, he won't do anything.
He just relayed a few instructions to his daughter, sent a few carts of supplements, and let Gu Ren tidy up after himself.
I feel sorry for him as he squats in the epidemic area all day long.
Gu Ren saw San Yuezhang away, his face suddenly turned cold.
But this coldness is not directed at anyone, but because news of the epidemic area has spread, which means that someone ignores the epidemic prevention orders and openly comes into close contact with the outside world. Once the epidemic spreads along this way, who can afford it? This person must Catch it!
Gu Ren changed from his usual gentleness and adopted thunderous methods.
Suppress a large number of those who are not firm in their stance.
The position becomes more and more consolidated.
It will be twenty years after the epidemic area is lifted, and the weather is getting hotter.
When the soldiers removed the wooden barriers and fences, the people in the affected areas who had survived the disaster wept with joy and tears rolled down their cheeks.
Seeing this, Gu Ren felt heavy.
Although Shen Tang's epidemic prevention strategies were provided in a timely manner and Gu Ren's work was 100% copied, there were still patients who could not be saved and lost their lives, and nearly 60% of the population in the epidemic area was lost. He had no choice but to move slaves from elsewhere to avoid This place is completely deserted.
Is this the end of the matter?
Haha, no.
Both Gu Ren, Shen Tang and Wu Xian were all thinking about one thing - where did the plague bug come from?
There is an element of luck on Ha Yin's side.
It should not be deliberately targeting Shen Tang.
But what about Wu Xian and Gu Ren?
There was no precedent for epidemics under their rule.
Even if it does, the symptoms are different from this time.
It is not a source of disease at all.
Gu Ren asked his sixth brother: "Guess who did it?"
The sixth brother naturally didn't know, but he knew that Gu Ren had a target of suspicion at this time, so he asked: "Zhang He?"
"He is the most suspect."
Gu Ren and Zhang He have a conflict of interests.
It makes sense that Zhang He was ruthless because of this.
Sixth Brother: "Even if it's really Zhang Yongqing, my eldest brother can't seek justice from him, at least not now."
Although this epidemic only killed hundreds of people, most of them were old and weak, and they were not even injured compared to the entire population of Upper South, but a lot of money was spent to control the epidemic, and spring plowing was not enough. was delayed indirectly.
There is a lot of mess that needs to be solved urgently, and there is no time to send troops to Zhang He.
"...The most suspicious thing doesn't mean he is the real culprit. Before there is irrefutable proof, brother should not rush to make enemies."
"I know. Let's write this down for now."
Gu Ren thought so.
Wu Xian's attitude is similar.
If it were Zhang He, he wouldn't be stupid enough to fight alone. Naturally, Wu, Shen, and Gu would join forces to dunk Zhang He's head! One-on-one is not popular these days, but bullying with more is more popular.
Killing indiscriminately!
Only Shen Tang acted irrationally.
She chose to call directly and ask for an explanation.
Emmm…
To put it simply, she was on a business trip.

＿|￣|●
I'm guilty.
I broke my promise and gained three pounds!
When I was cleaning up at night, my manicure was broken. I saw the time and went out early to get a new one. Who knew that it took more than an hour to repair the nail polish and another more than an hour to do the new manicure.
???
I really didn't calculate my time well.
I updated a two-in-one chapter yesterday, and this chapter is also from yesterday, only seven days ago...
PS: The background setting of Gu Ren was mentioned in 217. His first father-in-law was his mentor, his second father-in-law was the previous county governor of Shangnan, and his third father-in-law was the current third father-in-law, a wealthy gentry of Shangnan.
