Ever since he lost the battle at Yonguguan, King Shiwu's smooth life has fallen into a strange circle. His ups and downs have begun... Nine out of ten things go wrong. What bothers him most is that Shiwu The royal capital was destroyed, most of the cronies he had cultivated and won over were lost, and his elites suffered heavy losses. It was obvious that he felt that his control over other tribes was not as good as before.
The tribal forces that used to rely on Nose have recently begun to act against him, making small moves in private, trying to replace him. Shiwu King Qiangang has been dictatorial for many years and has long been accustomed to being the only one. How can he endure this unpleasant situation?
It is not that he has no wealth, but he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. If not, he would not have married a woman who was not familiar with his brother in order to win over Su Shiyilu's tribal power, and also arranged for his original wife to "die of illness" "Let the pit fall."
I could tolerate it back then, and I can do it now.
In order to catch all these disobedient people, King Shiwu began to pretend to be depressed and frustrated. He drank heavily every day and played songs every night, and the women in the tent were constantly busy. He didn't get up until noon, and the sound of thunderous snoring could be heard from the king's tent. In another tent, the smell of alcohol seemed to never dissipate. It ignored political affairs and even summoned a medical officer every three days.
The outside world gradually began to hear rumors that "King Shiwu is about to die soon." Coupled with the chaos within the royal court, some people would naturally believe that he was very satisfied with the effect. However, they never thought that the rebels could not sit still. The two adult sons started fighting among themselves.
More than one life was lost.
He shook his head, which was heavy with alcohol, and was about to raise his hand to rub his temples, when a pair of fragrant little hands helped him solve his problems with moderate and moderate strength. King Shiwu glanced at it. Remember this last night with him An incomparable beauty - this beauty has a keen eye and doesn't mind being pampered for two more days.
"Yes...it's the fifth prince."
The servants were uneasy and did not dare to breathe.
"Lao Wu is dead?"
"How did you die?"
"When did you die?"
King Shiwu spoke three times in a row. After thinking for a while, he could barely dig out the image of his son from his mind. Even though it was a white-haired person giving birth to a black-haired person, as a biological father, he did not feel any grief.
Firstly, he has many sons, and secondly, he has no relationship with his sons.
To him, children were just the product of a night of happiness, born ten months later to a woman whose face he could not even remember.
If he could grow into a qualified heir like a wolf, he would be willing to take a high look and devote all his energy to cultivating him, but if he died midway... then it wouldn't be worth wasting his feelings.
As a great king, a man with the highest status, power and reputation in the Shiwu clan, he can easily have countless women and countless children, so naturally he doesn't bother to cherish them. The biological mother of the fifth prince is still a lowly horse slave.
Because of his good looks, he was suddenly inspired to race horses, and he was lucky enough to have the fifth prince. Interestingly, the name of the fifth prince means "stable" in the Shiwu language. It can be seen that How casual he is with this son.
The servant's shoulders trembled: "I was told that I was too drunk. I fell into a pit and drowned in the middle of the night. I was only discovered at dawn this morning..."
The corners of King Shiwu's mouth twitched.
Incredible: "Falled into a pit and drowned?"
The servant added: "I choked a lot..."
Because of their living habits, Shiwu's latrines were dug on the spot, and they were dug extremely deep. From the bottom of the pit to the top, it was as high as two or three people. When the fifth prince was dug out, he still maintained the posture of climbing up, and said in his mouth
Feed them with feces and urine full of fermented maggots.
This way of death is actually not uncommon. Occasionally, an unlucky person who wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet will fall in and be unable to get out...
The fifth prince is the highest among them.
but--
With his background, he didn't need to go out in the cold and freeze his butt like ordinary people, let alone fall in and drown.
He is also a brave warrior!
Hearing that his son died in such a cowardly and smelly way, he became even more disgusted as he didn't care about his heirs. With a wave of his hand, he asked the people below to watch and deal with the affairs behind the fifth prince. After they left, King Shiwu, who had been relaxed just now,
, instantly turned cold.
Drowning in a latrine is simply ridiculous!
He was moody, grabbed the beauty who was rubbing her temples for him, and threw her off the bed without mercy: "Get out!"
The beauty turned pale.
Regardless of his shirt, he wrapped himself in a blanket and retreated quietly. Until the king was the only one left in the tent, he waved his hand and split the nearest candlestick with a wave of wind. He murmured to the deserted place:
"It was Lao Wu who died this time..."
In fact, not long ago, a son died.
The third prince.
The manner of death was equally outrageous.
It is said that the third prince accidentally hunted an adult stag. On the same day, he happily drank several large pots of deer blood and ate half of the deer meat. His energy and blood surged, his blood boiled, and he had nowhere to vent his energy, so he ordered seven people in the backyard to
A beautiful girl came over and wanted to have a 1V7 all-night battle. Unexpectedly, when she was at the peak of her excitement, her whole body suddenly stiffened and twitched. She clutched her left chest with her right hand and died.
In layman's terms, it means dying from the wind.
When the medical officer came, the body was cold.
He is also a brave warrior!
Counting the twelve princes who lost their lives in the journey of adulthood, he lost three sons in just over half a year, and they were all still adults.
The first person King Shiwu suspected was Su Shiyilu, but after the defeat at Yonggu Pass, Su Shiyilu was dissatisfied with the military arrangements for the battle, had a conflict with him, surrendered military power, and resigned at home. He was still uneasy and kept sending
People are closely monitored.
As a result, the secret guard reported that Su Shiyilu was either drinking heavily or going out hunting every day, and there was no abnormal behavior at all.
There is no time to commit murder.
On the contrary, the other sons were more suspicious. When they heard that their brother had died, they gloated in private more than once.
Almost everyone has a motive to kill someone.
King Shiwu thought for a while, but still felt uneasy. He raised his hand to summon the secret guards and asked them to investigate Lao Wu's death closely. However, the results were not yet available. The Seventh Prince, who had a close relationship with the Fifth Prince, also followed in the footsteps of his brother. Likewise.
, a unique way to die.
He played darts with a group of noble men.
Usually slaves are used as targets, and different points are obtained by shooting at different targets around the target. If you shoot a slave, you will get no points, and if you shoot him to death, you will lose money. It is always boring to use slaves. This time, let’s play something exciting. You can choose one of them as a target by drawing lots. .
The seventh prince won the lottery.
Then he was shot to death with a dart.
The man who shot him to death bit the poison hidden under his tongue on the spot, bleeding from his orifices and died. He died without any evidence.
After further investigation, it was found that this person's relatives were almost dead when Shen Tang attacked the royal capital. It was reasonably speculated by the outside world that this person was dissatisfied with Shiwu Royal Court's wrong military action and then retaliated. After hearing this, King Shiwu was even more excited He was so angry that he yelled.
Lao Qi is also a brave warrior! His brain was really kicked by a donkey, so he shouldn't have agreed to be a target! He just wanted to be a target, but he died so defenselessly? Did he think that he would not die because of his status as a prince? body?
King Shiwu couldn't bear the death of his sons one after another even if he didn't care about it. Most of his energy was taken up by this matter, and the rest had to be wary of the backlash from his subordinates. How could he have any extra energy to pay attention to the lowest level, which was ignited by slaves? A prairie fire?
When we really take it seriously, we are already surrounded by enemies on all sides.
at the same time--
A secret room.
It is said that Su Shiyilu, who was idle at home, extinguished an oil lamp with a snap of his fingers. The lamp was engraved with "seven". He lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the remaining oil lamp, and sneered, with a sinister tone that sounded like a ghost. Guhun: "...This is just interest..."
The death of the Twelve Prince was a hurdle he couldn't get over. In a short period of time, most of his beard and hair turned gray. He swore to his sister that he would make the murderer of Twelve pay the price, which included being indifferent and indifferent to Twelve's death. The king of.
Su Shiyilu had admired each other so much before, but now he was so disappointed. Since he didn't care about heirs and cared about glory so much, then whether one or all of them died, it would be better to die in the most useless and humiliating way... It didn't seem bad. ?
He did receive information about the group of slaves causing trouble, but he didn't pay attention to it. It wasn't because he was short-sighted, but throughout Shiwu's history, there had been large-scale escapes and rebellions by slaves. But no matter how many slaves there were, in the end, They are just a group of ordinary mortals with no special abilities. Facing an orderly armed team to suppress them, they are just dying in vain.
This kind of contempt is also the natural arrogance of brave warriors when facing ordinary groups, or in their eyes, ants.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
The salt seller returned with a full load. The cart was so heavy that the wheel marks were deep, showing how much loot was packed inside!
I was full of confidence when I left, and my face was glowing when I returned.
Summer has completely entered Longwu County.
Shen Tang was also surprised when she got the account book. She knew about the huge profits from smuggling in Shiwu, but she never thought of such huge profits. She quietly concealed the book, closed the account book, and gave 10% of the profit to the salt dealer as promised. own private treasury.
The remaining 80% went to the government treasury.
There are a lot of places in Longwu County that cost money, and they also have to pay salaries to their subordinates, so they have to live a careful life.
As soon as the deed was signed and stamped, Yu Zi hurried over and shouted: "Lord, when the bank account is credited——"
Shen Tang calmly said: "Did the money fly away?"
Yu Zi pointed to the top of her head, still frightened.
"Yes, money, money is flying into the sky."
"Repay the bank loan, it's just a matter of business, don't be alarmed."
Xun Hanzhang is such a damned man!
She doesn’t know how long she will have to wait???
I don’t know how much LPR is...
All I know is that I am still heavily in debt!
Yu Zi: "..."
Shen Tang covered his face with his hands: "Go down, Lingde is probably short of manpower, go over and take a look..."
She finally passed 996 and allowed her staff to live the life she had dreamed of. This life was so fucked up.
As for Shiwu——
At the morning meeting the next day, Shen Tang allocated a fresh and warm budget from the public treasury: "To stir up discord and add fuel to the fire, right? Let General Chu Jie take care of it and bribe more informants and traitors, and we will stand aside. Fire, the bigger the better.”
He looked at Gu Chi again.
"Before, the inscription on the Shiwu stele was also written by Wang Chao. One thing was done for two things. You wrote the rest and asked General Chu to send it back to help every Shiwu slave who has the dream of Guangzong Yaozong... Ah no, it should be' The descendants of the Gods who will make Shiwu glorious again. The more chaotic they are, the scarcer their resources will be, and the more advantageous they will be to us. I count on them for my loan..."
The enemy's country is in dire straits and its wealth is fragrant.
Longwu County is located on the border, and there is not much oil and water. The external forces have not affected her life and death, and the years have been peaceful for a while. In addition to the endless government affairs, endless bad luck, and endless 996 , there is never enough money to spend, the loan is never repaid, the wallet disappears every day...
Ask yourself, this day is quite comfortable.
Not long after, she heard that there was a bumper harvest in the silkworm-raising terraced house. As the princess, she even went out (touched) and (fished) to collect silkworm cocoons and harvested them herself. Then she learned how to cook and cut silkworm cocoons, preparing to make a six-pound six for herself. Two silk quilts.
_(:з ∠?)_
Originally, she wanted to arrange it for Wu Hui and the others, but she spent a day cutting silkworm cocoons and cleaning several buckets of silkworm chrysalises, and even six kilograms were not enough. In desperation, she handed over the silk quilt work to the silkworm farmhouse. Working women, they are professional.
I am only suitable for government agencies 996.
All she wanted was to be covered with a soft silk quilt in the winter, and to have a surplus of silk at the end of the year to be distributed as a prize.
As long as the benefits are in place, employees have no fear of working overtime!
The days passed slowly.
She also grew slowly.
Summer clothes were replaced by autumn clothes.
Even the baby girl Shen Zhi successfully gave birth to at the turn of spring and summer now giggles when she sees people.
On this day, the weather became a little cooler, and the government office received a reply that Shen Tang had almost forgotten—
The writing on the envelope is scrawled.
The pawn who delivered the message also had a weathered look and a beard.
"Why did you get a reply now?"
This letter was sent out years ago. In order to ease Xun Zhen's feeling of missing her great son, and at the same time to ease the discord between him and Qi Shan, Shen Tang deliberately sent people to Mingfeng County to find the person and deliver the letter. He has such a big hand.
It would be best if the other party is willing to send a letter home.
Unexpectedly, there has been no movement.
Shen Tang was so busy that he almost couldn't think of this matter.
