Spring and Autumn I Am King

On August 5th, the current doctor of Lu Guolinqiu, Zhao Wushi, once again summoned his predecessor, the Wuya Brigade, of the former Qi State.

After Wu Yalu was placed under house arrest for a month, although food and clothing were not neglected, his complexion was still a little pale and his body was a little weak.

"Now that the ransom has arrived, I just ask the doctor to let me go back to the country..." He bowed his hands to Zhao Wuxi sternly, but his eyes caught sight of the armored guards in the house, who were watching his every move coldly.

There was a large wooden box and a small sealed wooden box in front of the case where Zhao Wuxi was sitting. There was a faint smell of blood in the room. Wu Yalu subconsciously felt that the atmosphere today was unusual.

Zhao Wuxi, who was wearing a deep coat with algae fire pattern, walked down the hall and helped the Wu Ya Brigade, saying: "Originally, a few days ago, I was going to ask Dr. Wu to discuss this matter, but first Lu Hou sent an envoy to help me. The ceremony, and another incident happened yesterday, so it was delayed."

Speaking of his fate, Wu Yalu felt a little bitter in his heart, because Linqiu was his ancestral lord! Now it has become someone else's territory, and it has also gone through a series of ceremonies for granting land to the people. It felt as if his hair-bearing wife was taken away, he went through the wedding procedure adopted by his relatives, and he held hands to show off in front of him after the same room.

"It's just a city thief."

However, he also complained secretly. After all, he was defeated first, and it was understandable to endure this hardship. I just asked Zhao Wuxi not to be ≥≮ Like the king of Chu Gong who imprisoned Wuzi, he was imprisoned for seven years before he was released.

Wu Ya Brigade now just wants to end this prisoner's life in peace, so he carefully asked: "I don't know what happened?"

Zhao Wuxi turned around and asked Mucha to bring the wooden box over. Put it on the ground and open it, revealing something inside. Wu Ya Brigade leaned over and looked. Suddenly, he took a few steps backwards:

Seeing that inside the box was a **** human head, it was really terrifying!

He murmured and asked, "Doctor Zhao. What does this mean!?"

Zhao Wuxi's tone became cold, and he said lightly with his hands behind his back: "Doctor Wu, let's make sure, do you recognize this person?"

Wu Yalu endured the fear and looked again, only to see the head of the man with round eyes and blood on the bun, but the face was familiar, isn't it Chen's businessman Zhu Shegu? He had previously managed the Linzi and Donglai properties for Wu Shi, and this time it was he who came to Linqiu with the ransom.

"I recognize it, but I don't know why I was killed..."

"This person claimed to be a merchant of the Wu clan. He came with a ransom, but in fact he was trying to do something wrong. When he watched the burning of coupons outside the Yi Temple that day, he showed some abnormal signs, which was seen by my cavalry officer Yu Xi. After that, I paid more attention to this person. Sure enough, in addition to the children of the Wu family, he also secretly searched for the people of Linqiu, inquired about the news, and divided the army and the people. So I sent people to arrest him. This person is indeed a spy, and I feel bad when I see it. He committed suicide by swallowing gold, and by the time the military soldier rushed into his room, he was already dead..."

Zhao Wuxi was also very sorry, he felt that this businessman must not be simple. A lot of things may be knocked out of his mouth after careful torture, but unfortunately even Bian Que's apprentice Leopard didn't rescue him, so he simply made the best use of the corpse. Pulled to the city of Linqiu and beheaded to deter the wrongdoers.

There are also some loyal and brave people in the Chen family and the Qi country, and they are relatively merciless. Undoubtedly behemoth.

After listening to the reason, Wu Ya brigade secretly scolded the lord Chen, who had joined the army, to send spies regardless of the time. I have to talk about it after I get out safely!

"I really don't know about the Asian brigade. Although this person is a spy, the ransom is real. I hope Dr. Zhao can fulfill his promise..." Wu Ya brigade quickly wanted to clear the relationship.

Zhao Wuxi said: "Of course the doctor is innocent, but Wu's children have met this person many times, and it is inevitable that he will be deceived..."

He stroked the long sword on his waist and said, "I asked myself to treat the doctor, the Wu family, and the people of Linqiuqi without being harsh, but now such a thing has happened. I will make a final statement with the doctor today. After this incident, I am no longer worried that Wu Shi will stay in Linqiu, and some military officials even suggested that they should slaughter all the doctor's family to avoid future troubles!"

"What!" Wu Yalu was stunned, and he didn't care about his equal noble status with Zhao Wuxi, so Baiton begged for mercy and died.

"Dr. Zhao, please forgive the Wu clan for the sake of the friendship between my grandfather and Zhao Wenzi!"

Zhao Wuxi pressed his sword and raised his head, stood in the hall and sighed: "You can't punish a doctor, and the country of the dead still has to keep its government, such a brutal and extreme thing, even if I only think about my own reputation, naturally I won't. I did. Now, I have a way to do both, but I don't know if Doctor Wu is willing or not."

Wu Ya Brigade is now a prisoner, what can you say?

Wu Xie asked his subordinates to open another wooden box, which was filled with golden yin, colored silk, and pearls and jade, which was the ransom paid by the Qi people for the Wu Ya brigade.

"Doctor Wu thinks, compared with the life of his own and his clan, which is more expensive than the farmhouse or the store industry?"

"Naturally, life is more valuable than a farmhouse shop."

"Since these ransoms can buy the lives of the doctor and the Wu clan, is it enough to buy the Wu family's assets in Linqiu?"

This is not something that can be equated. Wu Shi has been operating in Linqiu for a hundred years, and the real estate and concubines he owns are naturally more valuable than this box of money, silk, pearls and jade, but now, Wu Ya Brigade can only nod. Say yes.

Zhao Wuchen folded his palms and smiled: "Dashan, since that's the case, I will use the ransom to buy the fields, concubines, and properties of the Wu clan on the land of Linqiu! Please take the Wu clan and raise the clan within three days. Move out of Linqiu, and I will send someone to send you out of Lujing!"

...

In the next three days, the Wu clan was relocated by Zhao Wuxi. After removing the servants, concubines and vassals, only a few dozen people left Linqiu with the ransom and left Linqiu in a hurry. Under the watchful eye of the military soldiers, they headed towards Qinyi to the north. Zhao Wuxi had already said hello to Doctor Qin Yi and let these people enter the Qi realm, and then he didn't need to care about them.

As a result, Linqiu's largest clan force was uprooted and blasted out of the territory, and a large number of Wu's properties were also sold to Zhao Wuxi at a low price, serving as the public property of Yisi.

After removing this hidden danger and handing over the administrative affairs of Linqiu and Zhen to Zhang Mengtan to stay behind, Zhao Wuxi and Zifu He held a doctor's guard of honor. Led more than a hundred guards to the east. He will go to Qufu to meet the Marquis of Lu and complete the final ceremony of the command. Since then, he has become a courtier of the Marquis of Lu.

The first pass was Gaoyu Town, a few dozen miles to the east, where there were nearly 2,000 households. With a population of more than 10,000, it used to be a rich and medium-sized city with the benefits of fish.

On Tu Dao, Zifu He sighed: "Because Qi State has besieged Lu State Xibi many times over the past few years, it is quite desolate after the war, and the wheat and millet have been destroyed in a large area. For Gao Yu, this year will be a tough year. In winter, there are even some tall murlocs fleeing westward to Linqiu."

He said to Wu Xie, "This is a good thing for Doctor Zhao."

The increase or decrease of the population is often a sign of whether the government of a city is good or not. Since the Spring and Autumn Period had not yet promoted household registration, household registration control was not strict. Therefore, cross-city and even cross-border population migration is relatively common. The famous Mencius of later generations saw King Hui of Liang, and King Hui of Wei complained to Mencius: "The people of neighboring countries will not increase, and the people of few people will not increase. What?"

For the past month, Yangjiaoguan in the east end of Linqiu has received more than a dozen people from Gaoyu who came to seek life every day. Zhao Wuxi accepted all of them and placed them in the newly acquired Wuzhitianmu.

Facing this circumstances. Of course, Zhao Wuxi can secretly have fun, and even secretly encourage population movement, but he can't show it on the bright side.

Now that he has become a doctor of the State of Lu, it is necessary to have a good relationship with his colleagues in the surrounding lords. Zhao Wushi also counted on Qin Yi and Gao Yu to defend themselves against the Qi army's attack. Under the circumstance that they cannot blatantly annex, their excessive weakening will not benefit Linqiu.

So Wu Xie said sternly: "Cai Zhongzhi has such a few words in his life. Mao (mao) is a good achievement, and harmony is a neighbor. Yifan royal family, Yihe brothers. Now the neighboring town is withered. It is too late for me to help. How can you be happy? Zifu Zixiu will look down on me."

Zifu He was apologetic again, but he was more and more impressed with Zhao Wuxi in his heart.

"Such a virtuous, benevolent, and talented doctor, for Lu, I really don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. I just hope that he can be influenced by Confucius' government and become a loyal minister of Lu."

With this in mind, Zhao Wuxi went in to visit when he passed by Gaoyuyi.

Those who entered the city were all villagers from the neighboring four fields. As long as more than ten people approached together, the guards would be like a formidable enemy. More than a dozen people armed with spears and daggers, vigilantly guarded and questioned carefully.

And Wu Xie and the others were holding the doctor's honor guard, and Zifu He Cai passed by half a decade ago, so no one dared to stop them.

However, Doctor Gao Yu was not in the city. According to the governor of the city, he took the soldiers to the south to arrest the robbers.

Zhao Wuxi asked Zifu He, "Is Gao Yu's robbery serious?"

Zifu He sighed and said, "The Gaoyu is broken and the people are fleeing not only in the direction of Linqiu, but also in the area of ​​Dayezawa in the southeast, where many people fall into the grass and become pirates."

So Zhao Wuxi and the others could only leave the gifts and leave first, because they had to arrive in Qufu before the sacrifice in Weiyang in August.

After leaving the east of the city, Zhao Wuxi found that the Tu Dao to the east here was more sparsely populated than the one to the west, and he was moved: "Why don't the people go to Yuncheng? Although there was also a disaster there, the city of Yida Wide, there is quite a surplus of food."

Zifu He showed a sneer: "Yuncheng? Don't mention it."

Zhao Wuxi was more concerned about the behavior, strength, and governance of his neighbors, but he was relieved about Yuncheng. Anyway, he was about to arrive soon, so it would not be too late to observe carefully.

After walking for a few miles, the group met Doctor Gao Yu who had returned from a robbery in a cottage, but he was a short nobleman in armor and coats. He named Yu Tuo as his surname, and he seemed to be a man who knew soldiers, so he was able to personally lead the troops to attack "thieves".

Wu Xie looked back~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but saw that doctor Yu led a group of more than 100 armed men who were escorting some people who were tied with straw ropes, all of them thin and thin. The tattered brown clothes can vaguely see the ribs under the skin.

Where is this wicked robber, obviously a commoner who has just put down his farm implements! Now that he was taken back, it is estimated that he will be used as a servant.

However, Zhao Wuxi couldn't project his pity on the neighbor's territory at present, and Dr. Yu Tuo did not dare to neglect the newly emerging Zhao Wuxi in the west. After failing to invite them back to the city for a feast, he asked the head of the dormitory to send the sour to cool off the heat. Sweet syrup, the three of them sat and talked about the troubles of pirates in Onozawa.

On this day, Wu Xie heard the name "Pirate Zhi" for the first time.

ps: The age of Daozhi is very vague. Because of the needs of the plot, the age of "Zhuangzi. Daozhi" is adopted here, and it is considered that he is the same era as Confucius (to be continued..)
