For the first time, Shen Tang showed an undisguised murderous intent towards Jiang Sheng, and the faint smile on his lips disappeared in his response. This Jiang Sheng cannot be kept!
He had murderous intentions in his heart but did not take action immediately.
Shen Tang also has his own concerns.
For someone like Jiang Sheng to have the guts to come to see him and tell him that she was carrying the national seal, it was impossible not to make thorough preparations. If he rashly kills people, he is afraid that he will not be able to silence him, but will let the tiger return to the mountain, causing endless harm. .
All kinds of thoughts ran through my mind quickly.
She shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Are you admitting it wrong? What a huge treasure the national seal is? All the princes in the world have chased this thing, and the bloodshed caused by it is unforgettable. What virtue and ability do I have? It How could it be in my hands?"
Shen Tang is still not sure at this moment, through what channels or abilities Jiang Sheng knew about this matter!
Does this person have real evidence in his hands? Or is he just making false claims and using his words to deceive her?
Unless there is irrefutable evidence, we cannot admit it easily.
Shen Tang's concerns are not unreasonable.
But she didn't expect that Jiang Sheng was not lying.
Jiang Sheng said: "I can look at Qi."
The implication is that there is no need to hide it anymore.
Shen Tang: ""
Hope, hope???
Shen Tang's inner expression was numb.
Could this world be any more outrageous?
Shen Tang asked tentatively: "The way of a scribe?"
Jiang Sheng: "Yes. There are great generals' qi, minor generals' qi, outgoing qi, incoming qi, and defeating qi. Naturally, the qi of those who hold the national seal is also different from that of others."
Shen Tang suddenly thought of something, and his thoughts went to nowhere. His eyes were meaningful and he said: "I know a friend. His way of being a scribe is the 'Eight-Day Gua'. He is a divination expert. It's a pity that you two can't get to know each other."
Naturally, the friend Shen Tang mentioned was not herself, but Zhai Xiaofang's cousins—Zhai Huan and Zhai Yuewen—who she met last year. She also learned about this guy's skills as a scribe by accident. At that time, she thought it was a good fortune teller on the street.
One is divination, the other is fortune-telling.
If these two were to form a team to tell fortunes on the street, they would be living gods, with full professional skills, and no one in the industry could beat them.
Complaints are complaints, but it is also really tricky.
Jiang Sheng's existence reminded Shen Tang. The next time he meets a literary scholar with similar abilities to Jiang Sheng, he won't know how to lose his vest - the national seal, what a temptation. Not to mention enemies, allies can't Resist its charm.
Jiang Sheng didn't show much interest in the friend Shen Tang mentioned. He just waited quietly for Shen Tang's choice - he wanted to see what Mr. Shen would choose. Choose a capable person or choose a potential hazard.
Do you choose to use it or choose to kill it?
Shen Tang was anxious inside.
To be honest, she didn't really want to use Jiang Sheng.
But let her kill——
Who knows if the Jiang Sheng in front of her is the real person? If she is as "nothing" as Yan An, she will have many powerful enemies in vain. After thinking about it for a few times, Shen Tang asked a question that she cared about very much: "Xian Deng, I have something to think about. ask you."
This change of title caught Jiang Sheng off guard.
It's just that his emotions were perfectly concealed.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Tang: "Shen Jun, please ask."
Shen Tang was very serious: "You——Master Fei?"
She is very short of manpower now.
Use one you find.
As long as the business ability is passable and the character is not too bad, it can be used. If the character is really too bad, the worst you can do is squeeze his talents without giving him real trust, and then burn the bridge after the matter is over.
After weighing it up, Shen Tang decided to give it a try.
He used this person first to appease Jiang Sheng.
Everyone is on the same boat and the grasshopper is on the same rope. There is no way he could stab himself in the back at this time.
"You mean, is it dangerous to be your lord?"
Jiang Sheng: ""
He thought of all the problems.
I didn't expect Shen Tang to ask this.
When promoting talents, shouldn't you touch on the other person's talent, character, origin and other issues? Shen Tang's question went too far, so Jiang Sheng had to prepare on the spot. Literary scholars were the most subtle and euphemistic in their words and deeds, and he was not positive about Shen Tang's question. answer.
"The king will not doubt his ministers, and the ministers will not disappoint him."
Shen Tang: ""
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have applauded the other person - he answered, but it seemed like he didn't answer, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that there was a big pitfall in this answer.
The premise of "the minister will not disappoint the emperor" is that "the emperor will not doubt the minister", that is to say, "if the emperor doubts", "the minister will disappoint", which is comparable to Qi Yuanliang's regicide. But you can't yet He said there was something wrong with him because it was "Jun" who let him down first.
Shen Tang was not satisfied with this answer.
But it proves from the side that this guy is not a master.
This was an unexpected surprise to her.
Shen Tang said: "I will live up to you, so you can rest assured."
After going through the basic process of recruiting talents in her mind, Shen Tang felt that she wanted to express something, so she stood up with a smile on her face, held Jiang Sheng's hand, and nodded in agreement. As for how sincere these words were, she knew it herself.
Jiang Sheng felt the slender but powerful hands, his expression froze slightly, and his smile was forced.
When Shen Tang let go, his fingerprints were clearly visible.
She said awkwardly: "I couldn't control it for a while."
Jiang Sheng secretly loosened his fingers and happily changed his title: "Lord, it doesn't matter."
It is indeed a natural power!
This strength is no less than that of those brave warriors.
He removed the disguised speech spirit and restored his true self.
Shen Tang looked at it and was dumbfounded.
Jiang Sheng seemed to guess what surprised her.
Asked: "Master, why are you looking at Sheng like this?"
"Is this you?"
Jiang Sheng said: "Yes."
When Shen Tang heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But if you say it out loud, it will be like spilled water, and it is difficult to recover the water. You can't take people in with your front foot, and then turn your back and kill people. On the bright side, if you bring back a small internal affairs expert who can do the job, you can also help Wuhui and the others to share the burden.
Shen Tang comforted himself in this way.
She is most worried about another thing now, and wants to hear Jiang Sheng's opinion: "If there are other scribes with similar abilities to you in this world, wouldn't I be in danger?"
Jiang Sheng said: "They can't see it."
Shen Tang didn't understand why he was so confident.
"What do you mean by this?"
Nothing in this world is absolute.
How can Jiang Sheng guarantee that his "Wang Qi" is the strongest in the world? As everyone knows, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
Unexpectedly——
Gu Wei
"Because the Lord's 'qi' is very special."
"What's so special about it?"
"The special thing is that you may not have 'qi'."
Shen Tang: ""
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Jiang Sheng was fooling her or criticizing her. What did she mean by not having "qi"! Without "qi", wouldn't she be dead?
Jiang Sheng previously said that he discovered her secret by looking at her qi, but now he says that she has no "qi"!
This is really unfair to Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng really didn't lie - he didn't lie from the beginning to the end, but he wasn't completely honest either. Previously, he just used some Chunqiu style of writing to avoid the important and ignore the important and make Shen Tang misunderstood - Shen Tang's "qi" was his life See the most special.
No matter whether you are dead or alive, male or female, old or young, human or animal, ordinary person or brave, without exception, there are different "qi" lingering around you. These "qi" All Jiang Sheng could see.
They come in different colors.
Each has different meanings.
Jiang Sheng can use these to distinguish fortune and even life and death, but Shen Tang is the only exception, he can't see it! This alone is enough to make Jiang Sheng curious. Of course, he is not a raccoon slave, and will not make rash decisions out of curiosity. .
Everything requires adequate preparation.
"Then how did you discover the Great Seal?"
This is also simple.
Jiang Sheng said that he could "see Qi", but that didn't mean that the way of being a scribe had only one purpose. It was also through this that he discovered Shen Tang's secret. As for how to operate it, Shen Tang didn't ask, and he didn't want to Talk too much.
Shen Tang: ""
I always feel like I've been cheated.
Bai Su and the other two didn't expect that they would go outside and wait until the new gentleman showed up. It was a familiar face. Bai Su had a good memory and recognized the man from last night at a glance. He was curious and a little puzzled. This person is obviously not a good person.
It would be too dangerous for the Lord to keep him by his side.
Shen Tang: "Don't use him when you doubt him, don't doubt him when you employ him. You should wait for him with the same respect as you treat Yuanliang and others."
Bai Su and Lu Jue both clasped their fists.
Greet Jiang Sheng and meet new colleagues.
However, Jiang Sheng's reaction was a little slow, not because he meant it, but because he seemed to have heard a not-so-nice word: "The Yuanliang that the lord spoke of is a subordinate of his subordinates?"
Shen Tang: "Yes, yes. What's wrong?"
Jiang Sheng shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong. It's just that I had an enemy with a scribe named 'Yuanliang' many years ago. At first glance, I thought they were the same person, but there are tens of millions of people in mainland China, and there are many people with the same name. "
He has met many "Yuanliangs" over the years.
Shen Tang didn't think much about it.
Although Qi Yuanliang has a lot of enemies, they are not everywhere he goes. There are many people with the same name and surname in the world. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
I didn't take it to heart for a moment.
The most important thing at the moment is to clean up Luxia County, which has become a mess. The government offices are empty shells, government affairs are stagnant, and there is not much stock in the government treasury. If the damaged people are not resettled in time, chaos may break out. Externally, we must beware of homeless people and bandits.
After much thought, Shen Tang repeated his old trick and sent people to search the house of the officer's brother-in-law who was the governor of Lu County. There were also a few villains who were in cahoots with the officer's brother-in-law and scraped out a thick layer of oil and water from their bodies. It's shocking to see.
"How rich! Lu Gong should have a longer memory in his next life. No matter how much he likes his wife, he must be wary of his mother-in-law. In this life, he will just write a book of wrong questions and try not to fall into the same trap in the next life." The funeral hall of the entire family of Governor Lu Set up in his mansion, the servants and maids dispersed, leaving only an old housekeeper and Miss Lu's wet nurse and personal maid.
Four people, old and weak, guarded the large and cold mourning hall.
After Mrs. Lu woke up, she learned what had happened and saw the clean but still mutilated corpses of her father and brother. She burst into tears and cried. She fainted three times in the mourning hall and was still breathless. .
He relied on the powerful ginseng decoction in his house to relieve his breath.
Shen Tang and representatives from three other families came to pay their respects and offer incense, which made Sheriff Lu's funeral look less cold.
As the only person in charge, Mrs. Lu saluted several people again and again. In just three days, her whole body lost weight two or three times, and the clothes that originally fit her looked empty. As an outsider, Shen Tang could only feel relieved. She "sorrows".
"When your blood relatives are buried, are you willing to move with me to Heyin's permanent residence?" The mourning hall was solemn and cold, and she still felt a little uncomfortable after staying there for a long time. Looking at the girl whose face was slightly blue, Shen Tang found an excuse to call out Miss Lu. , say something in private.
Miss Lu's expression finally changed.
Admittedly, she was a little moved.
But after thinking about it, he still shook his head and declined.
She wanted to stay and observe filial piety for her father and brother, and take care of her eldest brother's infant son. When she thought of her eldest brother, who was lying quietly in the coffin, his body separated to protect her, and his death was miserable, Miss Lu felt sad for a moment, and her eyes turned red.
Not long ago, the family had a happy reunion.
Today, she and her nephew who were hidden in the stove were the only ones left. Her heart was clogged again and her complexion gradually turned green.
But she still suppressed her tears.
Shen Tang was not surprised by this answer, it was just——
"Before your father died, I promised that he would settle down and take care of you. The world is getting more and more chaotic now. These homeless grassroots are the first batch, but they will not be the last batch. Luxia County lost your father, Wang The court is busy fighting again and has too much time to take care of itself. A new leader will not be sent down for a while. It is very dangerous for you to stay here."
Miss Lu looked at Shen Tang in shock.
This was the first time she knew about this.
"You can keep your filial piety wherever you go. Just follow your heart and don't have to stick to formalities. Your father loved you so much that he was still thinking about you when he died." Only after hearing Bai Su's fake voice was he willing to swallow his breath, "I think, he doesn't He would care about this. He thought that you were the only one in the whole family who survived, and now he has an infant nephew. Even if you don’t plan for yourself, you should plan for your nephew. If you stay in Luxia County, you can take care of him. ?"
Basic safety cannot be provided, let alone material things on the road to growth. The old housekeeper, her wet nurse, and the young personal maid, plus Miss Lu's aunt and nephew, this is a combination that can be bullied no matter where they are. .
Shen Tang's proposal is undoubtedly the best choice.
Miss Lu was undoubtedly moved.
She originally wanted to end her mourning and join her father's relatives and friends during his lifetime. She thought that for the sake of her late father's past friendship, there would always be someone willing to give her a small part of her place. Even if she was living under someone else's roof, at least she would have a roof over her head to protect her from the wind and rain, so she could survive.
But--
Facing the young man’s warm invitation
She can't be ignorant again and again.
He nodded and agreed, but he needed to be tolerant for a few days. If Shen Tang was busy, he could take his troops back first, and then he would go to Heyin after he had packed up. Miss Lu was brought up by the governor of Lu County. Playing in the camp, wielding swords and guns, and calling her Rouge Tiger. Naturally, she could tell that the reinforcements who came to Luxia County did not bring a few days of food and grass.
The reinforcements could not stay in Luxia County for more than a few days.
Naturally, Shen Tang didn't leave so quickly.
Save people to the end, and send Buddha to the West.
The governor of Lu County is gone, but Lu Xia County is still there.
She sent a letter back, asked someone to send food, and planned to discuss it with the other three families. They all took turns sending troops to guard Luxia County. She didn't know who was coming this time.
Turning his head, he saw Jiang Sheng on the corridor not far away.
The latter seemed to be smiling but not smiling, looking at the excitement on his face.
"Congratulations, lord, good things are coming soon."
Shen Tang was confused: "What good thing?"
Jiang Sheng: "Didn't Mr. Lu entrust me to you?"
"Is this a happy event?" She didn't understand.
"On his deathbed, Duke Lu entrusted me with the task. When Miss Lu pays filial piety, my lord will be able to bring the beautiful lady back home. How can it not be a happy event?"
Shen Tang: ""
Jiang Sheng: "Lord, do you not want Miss Lu?"
Just taking care of the orphan out of kindness???
Shen Tang patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder and said in a quiet tone: "Come on first, you know? Wenxin scribes without horses are like your lord without guns!"
