Gong Xiqiu had a look of reminiscence on his face, his eyes were scorching and astonishingly bright: "Mama is my second uncle and my only confidant in this life. In worldly terms, she is a soulmate that is hard to find in mountains and rivers. However, besides being your second uncle, she is my only friend."
My close friend, I actually have another identity, but I can’t tell you this until private. It’s a clan secret, and it’s not appropriate for other people to hear it.”
Fang Yan and others: "..."
Haha, they have no desire to know.
Gong Xiqiu continued to brag about his friend: "...Mama is a very powerful person. She is outstanding in all aspects. She can be called a magnificent woman! She only had a slight advantage over me back then... However, if we compare now,
She definitely can't win."
Jimo Qiu said: "How do you know if you haven't competed?"
Although they only spent less than a day together, Jimo Qiu felt that this "second uncle" was very arrogant at heart, and he also wanted to save face and suffer. What he said cannot be disbelieved, but it cannot be fully believed, especially when it comes to strength.
aspect.
There is definitely a false sense of self-promotion.
Gong Xiqiu, however, was not unhappy at being rebutted by his junior. He smiled a little proudly and said coquettishly: "This is naturally because she has been busy with government affairs for the past four or five years. How can she be in the mood to practice and improve her martial arts? In my opinion, she has the skills in her hands.
If there are no sparks from the pen, it is all the wastes in his account that help her share the burden. If those wastes hold her back again, how many days will she have to rest throughout the year? She is so busy that her feet never touch the ground, and her cultivation does not decline.
Forget it. When you meet her this time, I will teach you who is strong and who is weak."
Jimo Qiu did not comment on this.
Gongxi Qiu just said that he wanted to defect to this Mama, and based on the previous dialogue, it can be inferred that the "second uncle", this confidant, must be the leader of a force, and maybe a king.
As long as the ruler of the country who can do everything himself is not cruel and unkind, extravagant, favoring traitors, killing loyal people, and enslaving the people... so that the people at home and abroad boil with resentment, the national destiny within the country cannot be in deficit. If the national destiny is rationally distributed, the country will prosper.
, and then a good cycle is achieved. The fixed income of the country's national fortune every year can ensure that her cultivation level will not fall behind.
It's hard to say who is strong and who is weak.
Although he understood this, Jimo Qiu did not deliberately spoil the fun and changed the subject and asked: "What's going on with my aunt's pregnancy?"
Gong Xiqiu's calm anger surged up again.
"Your aunt's maiden name is Gong Xi Lai. She is the adopted daughter we adopted for your grandmother in the early years. She is also my adopted sister and your aunt. She was made pregnant by Xun Ding and she even said she wanted to marry Xun Ding. She is really angry.
Me too! Why do you think Xun Ding, a cheap and worthless person, married Alai? Because he is weak, because he is ugly, or because he is shameless?"
Jimo Qiu didn't know Gong Xilai, so he couldn't sympathize with Gong Xichou, but judging from Gong Xichou's description, he didn't like Xun Ding either. He was weak, poor, and ugly. These three things were combined in one person.
Could it be that the aunt whom I have never met was forced?
If not, it's hard to imagine that any girl would look down on such a toad. Even if her eyes are blind, her ears and brain are still there. What's more, she was pregnant out of wedlock. Jimo Qiu doesn't remember the days in the clan.
He has been in the secular world for as long as he can remember. Even if the relationship between men and women is open, people still criticize women who get pregnant before marriage. From this point alone, Xun Ding is not a good match.
He is not an aboveboard person who dares to take risks.
Jimo Qiu asked: "What should we do?"
Gong Xiqiu curled his lips: "It's not like we can't support Alai and her unborn child? According to the rules of our clan, the children of sisters are raised by the child's uncle, and it has nothing to do with the child's biological father. Xun Ding, just treat Alai and him as
You can plant it once you borrow it."
Jimo Qiu nodded: "That's fine."
As long as the child is not born from an intermarriage within the clan, the child has no concept of the role of "father". Even if it is an intermarriage within the clan, the child does not live together. Compared with the biological father, the child is closer to his uncle because they are the ones with the clearest blood relationship.
of.
A few people who were dumbfounded on the sidelines couldn't help but interject.
"Shaobai, what if Gongxi's female gentleman and Mr. Xun are in love? Love between men and women is often unreasonable." Fourth Uncle Lin did not agree with Gongxi Qiu's way of handling things, which could easily lead Shaobai to bad taste.
"It still depends on what both sides say about this matter. If Lady Gongxi is really wronged, your uncles and nephews will come to the door, whether it's through confiscation of the house or a famous exterminator, otherwise -"
It doesn’t make sense at all!
Fang Yan and Chao Lian looked at each other.
Chao Lian was not sure and said: "Mr. Gongxi, does the 'cheap head Xun Ding' you talk about mean Yong'an, his father Xun Zhen, Xun Hanzhang? If it is him, he is also the general of Yaoguangwei.
He is young and successful, and holds a high position of authority."
It really has nothing to do with the words "weak, poor and ugly".
Chao Lian and Xun Ding had met only a few times, and he vaguely remembered that the other party was handsome. He was a general - although according to the Kangguo system, the general did not have much actual military power, but don't forget that his father Xun Zhen was
The father and son, one civil and one military, were ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs. They were in high positions. This kind of favor and honor was rare. At least in the Yuanhuang dynasty of Kang State, it could be called a prominent family.
No matter from which angle you look at it, I won’t be wronged by Mr. Xi Lai.
From a secular perspective, she is still marrying well.
Gong Xiqiu curled his lips and rolled his eyes: "So what? What kind of general Yaoguangwei? Who is a high-ranking official? With these, he can get an unmarried girl pregnant? The child is not in his belly. The power and protection he can give, I and I
Can’t the eldest nephew give it to him? Where can he get his turn and show off! Bah! His strength, status and power can be transferred to Alai through the Fangzhong Technique, right?"
Chao Lian was dumbfounded and said: "No."
He scolded: "If you can't, then you're talking nonsense!"
Chao Lian: "..."
It was obvious that Gong Xiqiu was really angry.
I thought Gongxi Qiu was stupid, but now it seems that this man is very sharp-tongued and can silence himself with just a few words. Jimo Qiu said: "Never mind what Xun Ding is like, he just wants to make people unmarried."
Being pregnant first is something people look down upon."
Fourth Uncle Lin muttered: "If the women of your Gongxi clan don't marry within the clan, wouldn't there be some who borrow seeds and run away?"
Among the foreigners present, he had the deepest understanding of the Gongxi people.
Gong Xiqiu said: "Active energy and passive energy are the same?"
Jimo Qiu also nodded: "The former is your love and my wish."
Fourth Uncle Lin couldn't figure out the brain circuits of these two people, and said: "How can you guarantee that Xun Ding and I are not in love with each other?"
Fang Yan interrupted the meaningless discussion of several people: "Rather than wasting time here, it is better to go and see for yourself."
Whatever the truth is, seeing is believing.
Fourth Uncle Lin and Chao Lian agreed.
Only Shaochong patted Shaobai on the shoulder and supported his brother: "If the man named Xun is not a good man, Shaobai, I will help you punch him through! Let him urinate and mix his ashes with rice and feed them to the dogs!"
Fang Yan was so angry that his head hurt: "Don't cause trouble!"
It turned out that the brain circuits of the uncle and nephew of the Gongxi clan were abnormal, and with the addition of Shao Chong, who would stir up trouble and stir up trouble, Fang Yan was worried that the three of them would make a big wedding, and they would all be put on Kang Guo's wanted list!
Prepare to rush to Fengluo, the capital of King Kang.
Counting the time, it should be in time for Xun Ding's wedding.
It doesn't matter if you can't make it in time. It doesn't matter if you can give birth in time for Gongxi. People of the Gongxi clan don't recognize secular wedding ceremonies at all.
At the same time, Jinli County.
For two or three days in a row, we experienced unprecedented turmoil.
There are soldiers and horses wearing the military uniforms of the Seven Guards and Four Leaders walking around everywhere in the territory, tea shops, restaurants, cloth shops, flower boats, dark alleys... They are everywhere. They first surround, then kick the door, and the people in the house
Before he could react and run away to fight back, he was caught.
"Tian Shuwei is doing business, and everyone is waiting to disperse!"
"Open the door and we'll catch you!"
"Hey, everyone should be more honest!"
Seeing that they could not escape, some of the arrested people pretended to be innocent and shouted out: "Master, why are you arresting people blindly?"
"It's unjust, the common people are unjust..."
"Guan Guan, why do you take people..."
"Damn it, come and see, the official killed someone..." A young and strong man broke free from his restraints. He barely ran two steps when someone kicked him hard in the back, and then two more people stepped forward to kill him.
Pressed to the ground, he just threw himself out and opened his mouth to curse and yell.
Qian Yong, who is responsible for supervising this matter, is a ruthless person.
I gave the order early in the morning, don’t let these rebels and thieves get used to you. If you are obedient and understand each other, you can still survive. If you don’t, you will be killed on the spot. When you see someone’s head rolling to the ground and blood spurting out, the common people who poke their heads out when they hear the noise are frightened.
The face is as white as paper.
The leading soldier held a whip and warned one by one, loudly scolding: "What are you looking at? Do the things here have anything to do with you? Do your own thing! Could it be that you are all accomplices of these rebels? They are wanted for harboring the royal court.
Is he going to commit the crime?"
The soldiers' voices were sharp, high and loud.
The common people who were swept by her gaze retracted their heads.
Occasionally, I can still hear a few words of dissatisfaction and curses: "Bah, you are working as a lackey for the royal court. You are neither a man nor a woman. How can you have the appearance of a daughter's family? Arresting people for no reason, is there anything else in this world?" King’s law, is there any justice?”
Similar situations occurred across Jinli County.
Shen Tang acted quickly.
Before Gong Cheng and Liu Changshi could react, she raced against time to eradicate the hidden stakes that had been set up in Beimo over the years.
On the first day alone, the entire Jinli County was screened.
On the second day, the less controlled counties in Kunzhou were also purged. She did not trust the soldiers and horses of the various counties, and did not rule out the possibility of insiders tipping off the information. The matter was all handed over to the Seven Guards and Four. .Using thunderous means, the rebels were caught off guard. Many of the deeply hidden rebels and hidden stakes in the North Desert were caught in their sleep, and they were still confused when they woke up.
There are simply not enough cells.
Shen Tang then asked them all to put on shackles and connect them with iron chains. All those who were brave enough to block the Dan Mansion were banned. If they still didn't know how to cause trouble, their Dan Mansion was allowed to be completely destroyed. The staff of the Criminal Department worked overtime and followed the clues to find them again. Other clues.
As expected, some informants are hiding in government offices across the country.
Some of them are civil servants, and some are rough emissaries.
There are also people who have climbed to a certain high level.
It took some trouble to catch them.
Some people realized something was wrong and fled early.
Shen Tang had already expected that the city would be closed, the customs would be closed, and all suspicious persons would be investigated! No one could be spared!
Looking at the hurried patrols on the street, the bearded man in the tea shop suppressed his anxiety. Not long after, a young man dressed as a commoner came over, and the two talked in a low voice: "The three nearby contact points have also been detained. Lost."
The bearded man's face was gloomy and dripping with water.
He clenched his fist and said, "The one named Shen strikes very quickly!"
How long did it take before and after this?
It lasted two days.
In two days, all nine counties, including Jinli County, were cleared. The Beimo Anzhuang and Kunzhou rebels who were lucky enough not to be arrested were still hiding in hiding, avoiding these patrol soldiers on the street.
These people investigate too carefully.
The commoner young man, Gong Cheng in disguise, advised her: "It's not safe here, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
This bearded man is Liu Changshi.
Her way of being a scribe is quite special.
The disguise was so sophisticated that even Gong Cheng couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
Liu Changshi was so angry that he could hardly hold back his anger. Looking at Gong Cheng, his teeth itched with hatred, and he said angrily: "If you hadn't insisted on fighting with someone... the loss might not have been so big..."
Gong Cheng was noncommittal about this.
Even if that half-day was not wasted, much loss could not be recovered. Kang State has established a communication transmission method that is faster and more secretive than the outside world imagined. On the other hand, the hidden piles here in the Northern Desert or the rebels in Kunzhou are just rats crossing the street. There is no way to build a communication network with great fanfare. The methods used by each hidden stake to communicate with each other are relatively conservative and outdated, and it takes a long time.
When the news reaches the next hidden stake, the contacts of that hidden stake are all in jail. How can we save it?
It is foolish for the hidden people lurking in Kang State to try to compete with a sophisticated state machine in terms of speed and efficiency.
It can also be said to be whimsical.
Liu Changshi could only accept the reality no matter how unwilling he felt.
And Gong Cheng did something that made her furious.
"where you go?"
Liu Changshi grabbed Gong Cheng and blended into the crowd, avoiding patrols and pursuit. He then pulled him into the alley and set up a sound barrier.
Gong Cheng: "I have some personal matters to deal with."
Liu Changshi was so angry that his teeth itched: "Are you crazy? At this time, what personal trivial matters can be more important than the current matter?"
Gong Cheng said indifferently: "You don't have it, I do."
As he spoke, he brushed away Liu Changshi's hand.
Make an appointment with her for the next meeting place.
Liu Changshi was so angry that his vision went black and white for a while. It took him a while to recover, but he had a murderous intention towards Gong Cheng in his heart.
"Gong Yunchi, you are just a lost dog..." After being treated kindly by his owner for a few days, he thought that he was not a lost dog but a human being? How long did he think he could keep smiling?
Liu Changshi forced himself to swallow the sweet smell in his throat.
Carefully hide the surging murderous intention.
The turmoil lasted for more than half a month before gradually subsided.
The sequelae have affected this place for decades.
The most serious is the official debt scam.
Shen Tang looked at the final statistical account and the number in the bottom corner. Even cleaning up the hidden dangers in Kunzhou could not make the curvature of her lips increase. Instead, the more she looked at it, the more worried she became. She simply rolled her sleeves and swept the account that made her upset to the ground.
He raised his foot and kicked the table.
I watched the desk roll several times on the floor.
The depression in my heart was relieved a little.
"Is there any reply to the letter sent to Gao Guo?"
Wu Xian, please don't let yourself go. If the losses cannot be recovered, the two countries will have to talk about how to jointly take down the Northern Desert.
