801: Qin Li’s way of being a scribe [asking for monthly votes]
She trusted Qi Yuanliang so much in vain, and she categorically denied Gu Chi's speculation. She didn't expect that the mastermind behind the scenes was really evil!
Shen Tang looked at the autographed letter spread out on his lap for a long time.
"With such a debt, why don't you worry about losing the sack one day?" If Qi Yuanliang could wear sacks, the sacks Qi Yuanliang received could definitely feed a factory. Shen Tang rubbed the bridge of his nose and accepted his fate and put away all the autographed letters.
He raised his hand and took a lamp from the corner, watching the letter paper burn to ashes page after page, leaving no evidence against Qi Shan, "Worry about it."
The length of this letter was limited, and Qi Shan wanted to write too much. All the processes were omitted by him, including the identity of the Xu clan member who was killed by someone he borrowed a knife to kill. Shen Tang was not sure which of the Xu Jie brothers this person was. Whether the relationship is close or not, she only knows that more is worse than less. Once Xu Quan and Xu Quan know that Qi Shan killed their people and then burned down the Xu family granary, the two sides will inevitably become enemies. Shen Tang is not a saint, her The mind will also be biased, and it will be biased towards praying for good without any doubt.
This matter could be hidden from others but not from Gu Chi.
"Just say that evil intentions cannot be corrected." Haha, if something bad happens, just guess it from Qi Shan, and you will get it right!
Shen Tang said calmly: "It will be good if we can achieve our goal."
She had also had a headache before about how to mess with Wu Xian.
After all, the more cooperation between the two families, the better the external relationship will be. As long as Wu Xian realizes his interests in the future, Shen Tang really can't find a reason to attack him. She can do it secretly and not be discovered. It's okay. If the flaw is exposed,
, will damage your reputation.
It was just the right time for Qi Shan to take action. As long as Shen Tang took care of the aftermath and those who knew about it were tight-lipped or simply unable to speak, who could say that Qi Shan had done it?
Who can say that she has evil intentions towards the alliance?
Gu Chi listened to his lord's rich inner thoughts and helplessly covered his ears: "Alas, you can't listen to these."
Shen Tang smiled and asked him: "Are you worried about being silenced?"
Gu Chi rolled his eyes obscenely and sneered: "Chi is determined to become the most sycophantic minister in history. Will he worry about this?"
"Flattery" is not a good word. It refers to a courtier who is good at flattery, understands his superiors, and flatters his superiors. Gu Chi's grandfather and father were upright and hoped that Gu Chi could inherit the family tradition, but they could not stand up to his scholarly ways.
This word has nothing to do with it in this life. Since you are destined to be unable to escape, then just give up on enjoying yourself and follow the lord who you like.
Between the monarch and his subjects, is there any closer relationship than heart-to-heart communication?
Shen Tang: "...It doesn't have to be like this."
Why are you scolding yourself like that when it's nothing?
She originally wanted to ask Gu Chi to inquire about the identity of the deceased Xu family, but she soon learned the answer from Xu Quan. Xu Quan's words were not easy to trick, but as long as she showed the trump card of Gong Xiqiu, the little girl
The fan's mouth has no handle.
Send Gong Xiqiu out in the morning and he will come back in the afternoon.
"The person who died was the grandson of Xu Quanzhong." Gong Xiqiu completed the task and did not ask Shen Tang why. He was addicted to martial arts and hobbies and did not like intrigues, but it does not mean that he has no brains. In fact, he is heartless.
A brave warrior cannot achieve the position of commander, and can only be an ordinary general in his life. Gong Xiqiu has the ability to command troops, but he just doesn't like it.
Shen Tang threw him a jade wheat stick, with golden seeds hanging in soup and white mist: "The grandson of the clan elder?"
Gong Xiqiu picked it up accurately, opened his mouth and nibbled around it: "The clan elder is the grandfather of Xu Jie and Xu Quan brothers. They are quite prestigious in the Xu family. His grandson is a posthumous son with only one seedling. He is snatched from the street by others.
Women are beaten to pieces."
Shen Tang asked again: "What is his relationship with brothers Wen Shi?"
Gong Xiqiu gnawed on a stick of jade and wheat while replying eloquently: "The relationship shouldn't be very good. Isn't that the case in big families? They are cousins in name only, but they don't meet as many times as passers-by in a lifetime. It is said that the elders of that clan still rely on their elders to sell their elders."
, caused Xu Jie a lot of trouble, and enriched his own pockets while doing things... He acted recklessly when the family dividends were distributed at the end of the year..."
The Xu family started as a merchant, and their family traditions are different from those elsewhere.
They know very well that if they want their people to work, they must give them benefits and turn the family's interests into their own interests, so they pay dividends at the end of every year. A part of the dividends is evenly distributed every year, and the income is divided according to the credit throughout the year.
This tradition has lasted for several generations.
Xu's business expanded like never before in Xu Jie's hands, which unknowingly increased the appetite of the tribe. Not all tribesmen understand the pain points of merchants in this society. They don't care about Xu's external status. They only care about the small dividends they receive every year.
The elder of the clan was the most violent, and strongly opposed Xu Jie's investment in Wu Zhaode, but he secretly flattered the family.
Trying to make good friends with the Tianhai nobles in exchange for the teaching resources of his grandson becoming a disciple of famous people. In short, there are two faces before and after.
The single seedling was gone and he went crazy.
Use the prestige and seniority within the family to put pressure on Xu Jie.
"...According to Xu Quan, his cousin Xu Jie currently suspects that the person who set fire to the granary is this clan elder...After all, with his character, he can do this." But Gong Xiqiu knew that was not the case, so he did it.
The person who did this is definitely related to Mama. Even if it wasn't Mama's instruction, it was still her staff.
He knows, but he doesn't care.
Xu Quan is his crush, but who is Xu Jie? Who is the Xu family? Who is the old man from the Xu family who died of Du Miao's grandson?
Do these people have anything to do with him?
Shen Tang's eyebrows relaxed slightly.
Gong Xiqiu: "Now that Xu Jie has a target of suspicion and a reason has been found, it is this old guy who did it."
He threw the clean stick into the trash can.
Shen Tang smiled: "That's exactly what I meant."
"I heard that Huang Xiguang is making moves again?"
Shen Tang said: "Let's wait until they come over on their own."
It's hard to say how long the food in Huang Lie's hands can last, but Zhang He will definitely be able to hold on for a while. Shen Tang intercepted his food and grass, but Zhang He had previously hunted Chu Yao and also obtained a batch of food and grass. This time
Once we go there, the two sides can be considered a draw.
"After messing with Huang Xiguang, I have to leave for a while."
Shen Tang knew Gongxi Qiu, who would not stay in one place peacefully, even if she was a sacred object of the Gongxi clan: "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm looking for my brother and nephew." He just couldn't find any blood relatives and just kept thinking about it. This kind of mentality makes it difficult to focus on cultivation, and over time it will become a knot in his mind. "Of course, if Mama needs it, I'll be with you anywhere in the world."
I will come back soon."
Shen Tang didn't force him to stay: "Yeah."
------------------
At Zhanghe camp, a letter was brought back by the scouts.
The signature is Zhang Heshou.
As soon as he opened it, he was so angry that the Tianling Gai almost flew off!
He shouted angrily: "Shen! You! Li!"
"Shu Zi! Bullying goes too far! Bullying goes too far!"
It was just a matter of cutting off his food and fodder, but he actually sent such a letter to show off his power. Every word in it made his blood pressure soar! After years of self-restraint, he was able to do it in one place! He kicked the table eucalyptus away, and it rolled on the ground.
It took several laps to fall apart!
"Is there any news from Huang Xiguang's people?"
This time, let Yanzhou become the burial place of Shen Youli!
------------------
The movement of Zhang He and Huang Lie's soldiers and horses could not be hidden from the Shen and Wu scouts, but to be more precise, Qin Gongsu was the first to notice the movement. He was much thinner and haggard, sitting in the camp, holding a half-read volume in his hand.
Letters from military strategists.
There is a strange sand table in the center of the camp.
This sand table is rectangular in shape. There is neither corn nor sand or gravel on the sand table, nor are there any small flags representing power. There are only images of clouds and mist condensed with a layer of culture. Under the clouds and mist, there are mountains, rivers and everything.
Qin Li looked at another piece of bamboo carefully. The tent curtain was opened with great force. Wasn't it Zhao Dayi who came in?
Zhao Feng held the plate with his left hand and lifted the curtain with his right hand.
"Gongsu, stop being busy now and come and have something to eat."
Seeing that Qin Li was motionless, Zhao Feng tried to take away the slips before moving in. Qin Li turned aside and said, "Don't eat, I have no appetite."
"If you don't want to eat, you won't be able to eat."
Qin Li finally glanced over.
There are seven or eight thick and strange things stacked on the plate. The sticks have many and plump seeds, and the skin is crystal clear.
"What is this?"
Zhao Fengdao: "My daughter sent it."
On the day Shen Tang arrived, Zhao Feng and the others had indeed gone out to do business. Shen Tang specially left a small basket of jade wheat for them in the name of Zhao Wei. When Zhao Feng heard that this was done by his old friend Cui Xiao, he immediately said
I cheered and became the first one to taste it.
Zhao Feng was mentally prepared to be poisoned to death or spit out. After all, Cui Xiao knew nothing about farming. Is the food he made edible? The result - well, it was not poisonous and tasted quite good.
"Try it, it tastes much better than wheat rice."
Even if he is a general, the wheat rice he eats will still hurt his throat.
Qin Li glanced at Zhao Feng and then at the appearance of Yumai. He refused to open his mouth and gnaw like him, which was rude.
He ate them one by one.
Zhao Feng: "..."
Zhao Feng had finished turning three jade wheat sticks, but Qin Li hadn't finished half of them. If it weren't for the conditions, I really doubt that Gongsu would have picked up the fine silver needles and ate them one by one. What else would it taste like?
After having a good meal, Zhao Feng said: "I found out."
Qin Li lowered his eyes and continued to compete with Yumai: "Say."
Zhao Feng wiped his mouth: "It's a problem on Tianhai's side."
He told them all the news he had learned.
Since that incident, Wu Xian has become obviously alienated from their faction, and this time the alienation has become even more severe. If he wants to discuss anything, he always consults counselors who are from the Tianhai noble clan. Qin Li occasionally makes suggestions, but the other party's reaction is also very cold.
This also made Zhao Feng complain in his heart - he was the mastermind of that revenge, and he led people to do all the processes. But the lord even implicated Gong Su, which is too biased!
After checking, everything became clear.
The Xu family's children were killed and the Xu family's granary was burned. Xu Jie could not provide food and the front line could not run out of food, so Wu Xian had no choice but to seek help from the Tianhai family. Zhao Feng felt angry in his heart: "My lord, this move is like selling laughter in exchange for food."
what is the difference?"
Even though it was only in private, the words were offensive.
Qin Li said calmly: "There is no difference."
Whether an emperor or a king has his stomach, or a peddler and a pawn, they all have to fight for their own interests and weigh the pros and cons. Both of them resort to tricks in order to survive. In essence, there is no difference.
Zhao Feng asked: "What should we do now?"
Qin Li doesn't care about these, he only cares about one thing.
"Dayi, who do you think did this?"
Zhao Feng was shocked: "What?"
Qin Li said calmly: "What a coincidence."
"What Gong Su means - someone is plotting against the lord?"
Qin Li corrected him: "You are plotting against me."
"...Who is it? Who did this?" Zhao Feng evolved into a ferocious ferocious beast on the spot. He couldn't hide the look in his eyes that wanted to kill him, "Gong Su, you tell me, I'll kill him!"
Qin Li said: "Pray for Yuanliang."
This statement was made in a declarative tone.
Zhao Feng frowned: "The prayer book under Lord Shen's tent?"
Qin Li's eyes fell on the sand table in front: "The people who know you best are often not friends but enemies. Although there is no evidence, my intuition tells me that this matter is inseparable from Qi Yuanliang. Even if he did not do it himself
, he also sent people to instruct him. Xu Wenzhu was forced by Wu Gong to gradually leave the country in recent years, and became closer to Longwu County. Shen Jun led his troops to the expedition and handed over the rear to Qi Yuanliang. Xu Wenzhu followed him
How can we doubt him after we have interacted with him so much? We are almost inseparable..."
Zhao Feng: "...What is the picture in the prayer book?"
Qin Li sneered: "As long as I stay under Mr. Wu's tent for a day, Qi Yuanliang will not be able to feel at ease, and will naturally become alienated."
Zhao Feng scratched his head: "...how much hatred is this?"
Qin Li raised his hand and waved.
The clouds and mist on the sand table dissipated, and the mountains and rivers below were clearly visible. If you lean over and take a closer look, you can see many ant-like figures in the Wu Xian camp. The layout of the small tents is similar to the real camp.
Exactly the same!
Zhao Feng's eyebrows were filled with worry.
"Gong Su?"
Qin Li said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
The perfect state of the scribe's way consumes more than the ordinary state, but Qin Li has to do this if he wants to control the enemy's movements in real time. Of course, except for a few friends who live and die together, no one else knows about this trump card.
after all--
The threat is too great!
"Huang Lie and Zhang He's troops are on the move."
Zhao Feng leaned over, his eyelashes almost touching the sand table villain: "Are they sending elite troops to sneak around and attack?"
Under Qin Li's scribe's way, all small tactical moves are in vain. From this perspective, all living beings are playing chess!
Qin Li said: "Yeah."
Zhao Feng asked again: "Do you want to remind the lord?"
Literary scholars are full of holes, and they are well versed in the principle of the cunning rabbit's three holes. He always hides a trump card. Qin Li is no exception to this. He has been a scribe for many years, but he has always concealed it from the outside world, including
Wu Xian.
Even subordinates need secrets.
Qin Li lowered his eyes slightly.
After a long time, Zhao Feng heard him say: "Remind me, of course I have to remind you, but wait until the vanguard scouts have news."
Nowadays, he has become a marginalized figure and has no access to timely information. Even if he has a clever plan, it is difficult to know how many troops the enemy has sent, when and from where. In the past, he could not wait to tell his lord immediately.
but now?
If you say it, it won't be accepted, and it will arouse suspicion.
Qin Li also has to consider Zhao Feng and others. They have followed him for so many years, but they have not enjoyed many blessings and have suffered a lot. Wu Xian's interests and their safety?
Qin Li now chooses the latter.
He had no intention of betraying Wu Xian.
As long as Wu Xian doesn't push him to that point!
