Back Off, Let Me Come

"Do you dear friends have any idea about this?"

This matter involves the stability of the throne under the buttocks. The king is extremely worried, but he can show it too obviously, so he can only ask the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. The questions were thrown out, but no one dared to answer them. Everyone was afraid of standing out. He looked around, and his already gloomy face turned so dark that it dripped with ink: "You have been living under your authority for many years, but no one is there to take care of you in a critical moment?"

The king's question was a bit serious.

For a moment, all the ministers bowed their heads and apologized.

The reason why they don't offer advice is naturally not because of their own lack of ability - a real drunkard can't get along like a fish in the court - but because it's not easy to go into the matter deeply.

In this troubled world with frequent regime changes, there are not many countries that really want to become bigger and stronger, because those small countries knew from the beginning that no matter how hard they tried to govern, they would be annexed by other forces, and their political power would not last long. In this case, it is better to make a quick buck. As a result, from top to bottom, from the king to the courtiers, the practice of selling one's official position and gaining titles became very popular, and naturally there was also a lot of corruption.

Qi Guo even destroyed the country several times and restored it several times.

I tasted the sweetness in the process of going back and forth.

therefore--

This warlord force may have been deliberately supported by foreign enemies to consume their national power, but it may also have cooperated with some people in the DPRK to grow in size. The so-called warlords are actually one of the links in selling stolen goods! The specific operation is that in order to launder the proceeds of corruption, the corrupt will collude with treacherous officials and traitors, privately sell the stolen money at a low price, and exchange it for other legitimate income.

Even if the source of the wealth is thoroughly investigated, the stolen money cannot be traced.

Even if the scandal happened, all he had to do afterwards was blame the traitors and traitors, and wouldn't he be able to escape unscathed?

These operations are nothing new.

The courtiers remained silent because they were actually worried about this.

Judging from the available intelligence, there is almost zero communication between this rebel force and third-party forces, let alone such a large-scale food mobilization, and the cultivated land in the war zone cannot produce so much food. In other words, the food provided by the rebels was not funded by a third party, nor was it produced by itself, so there was only one possibility left.

Some people are cheating and stealing from others!

This can also explain the various anomalies of this rebel bandit.

They didn't answer, but the king refused to let it go.

We must get to the bottom of it!

The mole was not caught, but the scapegoat was caught.

When the news came back to Shen Tang, it took another ten days. Luo San also moved from the dungeon to a private house near the county house, and the original Sheriff Sugenaga and his uncle were also brought out. If Luo San hadn't mentioned it, Shen Tang would have forgotten about the dungeon and the uncle and nephew.

[How does Luo Hou plan to deal with the two of them? Dead or alive? 】

Shen Tang naturally knew the grudge between Luo San and the uncle and nephew.

I don’t mind borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.

Luo San moved his lips: "No, just leave him alive." No matter what, after all, it was me who indirectly killed his biological father. 】

Although the old county guard was killed indirectly by Luo San's old subordinates rather than under his own instruction, Luo San was also responsible for negligence. Apart from this, the two of them have no deep hatred and hatred, and they can't ruin their descendants. Shen Tang was not surprised by this answer.

Still the same old saying——

Luo Sanzhen is a clean figure among Chehou, a god with stable emotions.

Shen Tang didn't kill the uncle and nephew, but he didn't really let them go either - most of the county's original assets had been confiscated, and the uncle and nephew had to live without having to redeem their lives. There were only two options before them. They could leave Shanyong County and seek refuge with other relatives to make a living, or they could stay and wait until the situation stabilized before thinking about it again.

If it's the former, Shen Tang doesn't mind giving them a little trouble on the road; if it's the latter, they need to find a way to make a living.

In the end, the uncle and nephew chose to "stand still".

[...Thieves...this Xiahou family is very ambitious and will never be satisfied with the petty gains in front of them...] It is not difficult for the uncle and nephew to defect to their relatives and classmates, but they are afraid that after finally settling down, they will bring soldiers and horses with them. Hit me right in front of you, [Rather than running around, exhausted...it's better to wait first. 】

[My uncle said so. 】

Sheriff Sugenaga thought so too.

There is another problem plaguing the uncle and nephew at the moment.

How to make a living?

The answer is not difficult, I just can’t open my mouth.

After hesitating for two days, they suddenly received the request. The uncle and nephew were silent, not knowing how things developed like this.

[...This has nothing to do with Luo San, right? 】

I really don’t want to acknowledge my enemy’s kindness.

It’s not easy to ask the parties for confirmation. Isn’t that humiliating oneself?

The uncle and nephew were also sensible and did not engage in any unscrupulous maneuvers. They took office the next day after receiving the appointment. They didn't encounter the expected difficulties in the workplace, and their colleagues were quite polite to them, but it was hurtful to have endless work to do every day. The former county governor was left scratching his head and doubting his life: [No, there were so many trivial things in Suinaga County before? How come I don't know anything? 】

Luo San, who was strolling by, looked up at the sky and rolled his eyes.

Isn't this nonsense?

It's just like in a family, only those who work hard will feel that everything needs to be tidied up. Only those who don't work very much and are the elders will feel that the house is neat and clean, but in fact, it is full of dirt and evil. If you just touch a corner, It's all gray.

Just after taking office, the uncle and nephew received a piece of news.

It was like being hit by a bolt from the blue, my mind went blank and I forgot how to think. After he recovered, the uncle immediately covered his face and cried bitterly, cursing the sky and the earth. His movement was so loud that he alarmed Xia Houyu and others: "What happened here to make such a noise?"

"... Mr. Ye's family is in jail, and we don't know whether they will live or die."

Xia Houyu asked the county guard: "Who is Mr. Ye?"

"...Hey, he is a close friend of my uncle's classmate."

The imprisonment of the other party's family also had something to do with his uncle.

Shanyong County was besieged by Shen Tang. His uncle traveled around the court to plead his case, and personally served as the grain inspector to deliver the general grain. If this thing can be accomplished, Ye Gong also contributed a lot - the two of them have different purposes, but neither wants Shanyong County to fall into the hands of the enemy.

The final result was seen, Suginaga County was lost.

The royal court didn't know which one was wrong, so they started a series of searches and found out that his uncle had embezzled military rations. They said that his uncle was running to support Suinaga County with rations on the surface, but in fact he had been flirting with the thieves for a long time. When Ye Gong heard the investigation results, he immediately spoke up and denounced the conclusion as absurd. Then, Mr. Ye was beaten as an accomplice.

The whole family was imprisoned, and the time for interrogation and execution was even set.

Xia Houyu was stunned when he was told: "Where do you start talking about this?"

We must also pay attention to the Basic Law when it comes to frame-up.

Could it be that he couldn't think of any other way to stabilize people's hearts and simply blamed the scapegoat for the defeat of the war? This is not impossible, but the method is a bit stupid. Whether it was the "Ye Gong" or the former uncle of Suinaga County Sheriff, the two had their own connections in the court and a social circle in private. How could people in the circle not know who the two were? Is there any possibility of collaboration with the enemy and treason?

Evidence is required in everything.

Who can believe someone who makes false accusations without solid evidence?

Who can guarantee that he will not become the next scapegoat?

Former county governor: "...my grandfather came here after fleeing from other places. After marrying into his wife, he changed his current surname. My family name is Xiahou."

My family's surname is Xiahou, and the traitor's surname is also Xiahou. Xiahou is not a bad surname, so why is this not a piece of ironclad evidence? The investigating officer also found true and false accounts from his uncle's house in the royal capital, and it was indeed true that he had resold military rations for personal gain.

The evidence was conclusive and the case was closed immediately.

Ye Gong felt something was wrong and was then labeled as an accomplice.

Xia Houyu: "...ah?"

He said sarcastically: "Although, my lord's surname is not Xiahou."

As soon as these words came out, the former county governor's sadness and anger suddenly stopped, and he repeated stupidly: "...isn't your surname Xiahou?"

Xia Houyu couldn't laugh or cry.

Shen Zixu Tang wanted to use the false identity of Shen Dali, but the name was too easy to associate with "Shen Youli". The greater her influence in the central government, the more attention she attracts, and the greater the possibility of exposure. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Tang used the name Xia Houyu when he started his business. After a little improvement, he changed it to himself, and has always used the pseudonym Xia Houli.

For her, sooner or later her identity will be restored. It doesn't matter what her surname is. Xia Houli will be Xia Houli.

Others have issues with this.

They all use pseudonyms, why do they have the surname Xiahou?

Gu De was still on the sidelines, nodding and saying: [Yes, yes, actually, it is also very appropriate for the Lord to use the pseudonym Gu Li. 】

The Gu family is more popular than the Xiahou family.

Xia Houyu didn't explain much, just said: "For some reasons that are not known to outsiders, the master can only use a false name for the time being, but he does not want to become evidence of being framed by the traitor. Hey, why bother to accuse him? It's not because This surname will also be due to other reasons. The whole court is so confused. If he doesn’t perish, who will perish?”

The former county governor was even more sad and angry when he heard this.

"How can such a foolish king chill the hearts of many loyal and righteous people?" People's words and deeds, "If you are just discouraged and want to retreat bravely, it is not bad. I am afraid that they will speak out like Ye Gong."

I also saw what happened to Mr. Ye.

The whole family's household registration is in jeopardy.

The former Sheriff's face turned pale.

When this news reached Shen Tang's ears, she was cradling her head, yawning and reviewing official documents. Xia Houyu's words made her suddenly excited and said: "No, I didn't do anything. How many times will the enemy punch me when they come up?"

Xia Houyu smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It's always a good thing."

The enemy's roots are rotten, which is beneficial to one's own side.

Shen Tang picked up his brush and wrote a bunch of things.

"Wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't take advantage of the clues that others handed over to us? In order to cover up the filth, Wang Ting poured dirty water on the innocent people, so we will clear the innocent people's grievances. If anyone wants to defect, then we should take advantage of them. , A foolish master is only worthy of a traitor."

To weaken the enemy is to strengthen oneself.

Xia Houyu saw that his lord was not very happy.

Isn't this a good thing?

Zixu looked at the sky, carefully feeling the psychological activity of this deity at this moment, and said straightforwardly: "I am cursing people now. It's not because the people below are not doing things well, it's simply because they have broken their guard. Why haven't I been treated like this before? Fair enough.”

The former enemy wanted to stab her without saying a word.

Now the enemy stabs himself without saying a word.

It is said that there is a protection period for newbies when starting a business. What I have not enjoyed is all enjoyed by her. Can I not break the defense?

Xia Houyu: "..."

Is it possible that the enemy is too weak?

If Luo San, a super variable, hadn't appeared in Suinaga County, he might have been able to hit King Kai's capital by now. The small country in the middle is indeed richer than the small country in the northwest, but the country's land area is here. How many geniuses can emerge from such a small place?

Luo San, just one.

The real difficulty begins when you get the first piece of the national seal.

Getting the national seal means officially establishing a country, getting rid of the identity of a rural warlord, and having the qualifications to play cards. Only then will other countries be willing to take it seriously. Otherwise, the grass-roots team will always be just a small warlord somewhere, not worthy of attention.

"...Who would think it's simple?" I wish the enemies were all mentally retarded, and I could end this long dark and chaotic world by just fighting casually. After all, those who are born bloodthirsty are a minority, and those who hate war are the majority. "We are really lucky. Qiguo has been destroyed and restored several times, all relying on the secret help of the twenty-rank Chehou, deterring neighboring countries from invading. Now that there is no reliance, without Luo San, the court has lost the hearts of the people... I think it's just the right time! If you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences!"

Luo San, a "half-baked" person, is a headache, and I dare not imagine how difficult it is to deal with the twenty-rank Chehou in his prime.

Fortunately, this Chehou died under [enlightenment].

The rapid decline of Qiguo's national strength in recent years is also related to this.

Without the biggest confidence, won't you make stupid moves frequently?

Shen Tang heard what Xiahou Yu really wanted to express.

She said, "Wait a little longer, it will be soon."

Not only Xiahou Yu, but also the civil and military officials of the branch want to attack the capital of Qi State. They are quite dissatisfied with the current pace of erosion - swallowing a little land in the east and a little land in the west. At this speed, when will they be able to start a big move?

The fact that the forces here are backed by Kang State is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The advantage is that there is no need to worry about support. If you need money, you have money and people. If you fail, you can make a comeback; the disadvantage is that newcomers are prone to anxiety. They are always worried that they can't catch up with the old people, and in the end, even their achievements will be lower than those of the old people. Who can bear this?

There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.

Who is not competing secretly?

The old man can unify the northwest and southwest, so why can't this side unify the central, southeast and northeast? People always have dreams. The second volume of the biographies of famous officials and celebrities of Kang State has been published, and the third volume is also being planned. At this rate, when will it be their turn?

Ten years of hard work to sharpen a sword, now unsheathed to test its sharpness.

Establishing a country is a key step.

Really going to the poker table to compete with other countries in the central region.

Xiahou Yu is a steady person. Even he started to say this, so you can imagine what the attitudes of others are. Shen Tang can't keep the cage locked. When the beast should be released, it should be released. If it is locked for too long, it may backfire on the breeder.

He can't betray, but it doesn't mean that others don't have opinions.

Disagreements are infinitely magnified, isn't it a contradiction of position?

She said: "The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass have gone first. There must be time to prepare, and the soldiers can't be asked to fight on an empty stomach."

Otherwise, why transfer Lin Feng here?

|ω`)

I fell asleep while writing, and was startled when I woke up.

Tang Mei has been slowly accumulating people in the northwest, and people's hearts are naturally more united. There is really no capital to waste when getting up early, and everyone is hiding. The branch in the central region developed too fast, and resources were accumulated too fast. Others did not have the intention to rebel, but they could obviously expand the business territory, but the boss always said to wait a little longer, and they would have complaints after too many times (the subordinates' belligerence was overflowing, and the boss was still unwilling to move, how could they not be anxious?) Xiahou Yu did not know that these old acquaintances were so belligerent in their bones... Each of them was tense and wanted to do something big.
