Gu Chi said: "It's not necessary."
Qi Shan raised his brows slightly and said, "Why is it unnecessary? Gu Wangchao, no one should know better than you the hidden dangers of not eradicating these legacy poisons. Your doing this is tantamount to raising tigers. It's better to take this opportunity to kill them all. Then you can sit back and relax.”
Almost the moment after Qi Shan finished speaking, Shen Tang, who was scratching his head at his desk, suddenly raised his head.
"Murderous!"
Gu Chi said: "It's an illusion."
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Chi pursed his thin, sickly green lips, looked at Qi Shan with a half-smile, and said, "Qi Yuanliang, you are really becoming more and more lax. Haha, what's going on? Kill the enemy and take revenge. , does that make you slack off so much?"
After saying that, his smile suddenly disappeared.
After Gu Chi rolled up his sleeves and left, Shen Tang poked his head out from behind the piles of slips, frowned and asked, "You two had a quarrel..."
Although Gu Chi's sophistry was an "illusion," it was impossible for Shen Tang not to be able to tell the difference between true and false murderous intent. Gu Chi clearly had some murderous intent just now. Even if it is not serious enough to require action, the warning is very strong.
The second half of Gu Chi's sentence is also intriguing.
Deliberately spreading its wings in the minefield of prayer.
If they weren't arguing?
She performed a handstand on the spot to handle official documents.
Qishan said perfunctorily: "Nothing..."
Shen Tang said: "Yes or no? I have the ability to judge."
Qi Shan knew that Shen Tang was not easy to fool, but he was not prepared to fool him - he was careless just now and accidentally touched Gu Chi's reverse scale. The seriousness was equivalent to someone holding the deceased "Zhen Tang" in front of him. ·Yuan Liang” is joking.
Ask yourself, if it were Qi Shan, he would definitely draw his sword and fight that person desperately. Gu Chi just changed his face and released his murderous intent, which was quite restrained to a certain extent. This incident also reminded Qi Shan to tell Shen Tang about Gu Chi's taboos.
Shen Tang just listened from beginning to end, and he guessed a little bit, and asked tentatively: "Could it be related to the so-called 'legacy poison'?"
Qishan nodded: "Gu Chi's homeland was destroyed a few years ago, you should know this. That small country was about the same size as the Chu State and could not withstand the strong attack from the Xin State. The old master of the Xin State had a difficult time with his heirs, so he had to obey The alchemist advised that he did not kill all the nobles of the small country, but opened up one side and relegated them all to common people, and then bad things happened..."
Shen Tang listened with great interest.
"Bad thing? Hiding among the people to carry out sabotage and assassination?"
Qi Shan smiled bitterly: "It would be great if it was just like this. These nobles who lost their country need to be self-reliant when they become common people, but they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. They have gold and jade, and they have clothes to put out their hands and food to open their mouths. How can they get used to the life of common people? "
I dreamed back at midnight. The dream was full of palaces and pavilions inlaid with gold and jade, and there were endless delicacies from the mountains and seas. But when I opened my eyes, what I saw was a low and leaky shabby thatched hut. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the thunderous snores of the neighbors next door.
Naturally, they hated Xin Guo very much.
Forming gangs and running around secretly trying to restore the country.
However, the Xin State, which was at its peak of national power, and the old leader of the Xin State, who was sitting on the throne, could not move the slightest bit, so they could only tolerate it in a roundabout way. In order to survive and accumulate armed forces, he turned into a bandit and planned to cause trouble everywhere, but the progress was too slow!
Over time, the reality of embarrassment and the unrecoverable past in dreams caused their psychology to begin to change.
Therefore, they transferred their hatred to the indifferent remnants of the motherland - these remnants were originally just humble common people. Life or death was not important to the old nobles. Being able to die for the great cause of restoring the country was considered a sign of their loyalty.
There are also those old ministers of the motherland who are loyal to the new dynasty!
If the old ministers are willing to support their great cause of restoring the country, they will be fine if they are on the same boat. If not -
Haha, is there still a need to keep such a sycophant?
Qishan said: "...I don't know everything comprehensively. I only know that after Gu Chi was an official, his ancestors and fathers served the Lord of his homeland for two generations. However, the general trend was irresistible, and the needs of the people under his rule made his family join the Xin Kingdom. .”
Faced with the nobles of their homeland who came to visit them, they did not dare to directly refuse, but they also did not dare to directly agree - Xin State kept a close eye on them, the surrendered ministers. After thinking about it, he prepared to spend most of his family wealth to send those nobles of the homeland away, which would be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous act.
Shen Tang recalled Gu Chi's way of being a scribe, and then thought about part of the background story told by Qi Shan, and realized that this matter was not simple. Sure enough, the nobles of the homeland were dissatisfied with the perfunctory treatment of the Gu family and his son, and suspected that they were preparing to sell themselves out in exchange for glory and wealth, high officials and generous salaries. They were worried that the nights would be long and the dreams would be too much, so they wanted to eradicate the situation!
Shen Tang was stunned when he heard this.
"What is this brain circuit called?"
It is true that the ancestors and fathers of the Gu family were loyal to the motherland, but now that the dynasty has changed, they are still willing to spend most of their wealth. How dare these lunatics still want to kill people and silence them?
Euphemistically called: cutting the grass and eradicating the roots? ? ?
"Did they succeed?"
"If we hadn't succeeded, would we be where Gu Wangchao is today?"
After getting most of the Gu family's wealth, he suddenly turned ruthless and used the black tiger to rip out Gu Chi's heart. He captured Gu Chi's grandfather and used his grandfather as a threat to trick Gu Chi's father into attending the appointment alone. At the same time, he divided his forces to sneak attack on the Gu family members who had been secretly settled in the farm.
Farms were burned.
Only Gu Chi from the Gu family survived, and this was the result of Gu Chi going out at the invitation of his friends. If he had been at the farm that day, he might not have been able to escape the fate of being killed. Gu Chi is the eldest son in the family. He also has a younger brother who is under six years old, and a seven-year-old sister. There is also a seven-month-old fetus in the mother's belly, which is also said to be a baby girl.
Shen Tang seemed to have a scene in front of his eyes of Gu Chi, a boy, returning from a night of hangover. He saw a ruined farm in the distance. His heart skipped a beat. He stumbled off his horse and pulled out the charred corpses of unrecognizable relatives from the ruins. …
She asked Qishan: "Yuanliang, Wangchao's way of being a scribe...could it be...that he awakened not long after that?"
Qishan said: "Maybe..."
He also learned about Gu Chi's life experience by accident.
Shen Tang asked again: "What about his enemies?"
"I don't know, maybe he's still alive, maybe he's dead. I guess the former is more likely. These are all what I heard from his fellow villagers..." Qi Shan changed the topic and said, "His fellow villagers also said a piece of news. It is said that Gu Chi was previously engaged to someone.”
Shen Tang: "???"
Is the topic span so wide? ? ?
"Then what?"
It sounds strange.
The average age for people in this world to get married is very young.
But the people around him, Qi Shan, Chu Yao, Kang Shi and Gu Chi didn't seem to mention their wives and children. As for Gong Shuwu - the Gong family was confiscated and exiled by Zheng Qiao. Even if Gong Shuwu had a wife and children, most of them were gone. Encounter an unexpected event.
Of course, it is also possible that Gong Shuwu is addicted to martial arts, has no intention of being a man and a woman, and celebrates Singles Day on time every year.
How many people are praying for?
Qishan said: "The woman he is engaged to is said to be the daughter of Gu's father's best friend in official circles, and the two families are well matched. Unlike Gu's father, the woman is closer to the nobles of the homeland and has secretly provided him with various conveniences over the years. , running around. After something happened to the Gu family, he dedicated his daughter to the nobles of his homeland..."
Shen Tang: "..."
Suddenly I felt that Gu Chi was really miserable.
That is very miserable!
Qi Shan sighed and said: "I told my lord this because I was worried that my lord would accidentally touch his pain point. Gu Wangchao is not a good person. He stayed. He did not deny his sincerity, but he also had to consider the situation and had to compromise. .”
In other words, if Shen Tang violated his taboo without knowing it, it wouldn't be too convenient for him to kill his master...
In today's world, where national power changes frequently, literati changing jobs and killing their old masters are never a character stain worthy of criticism, and they have nothing to do with moral corruption.
The relationship between the master and his ministers must be maintained by both parties.
Shen Tang nodded solemnly and responded.
"Well, I understand."
The best way not to expose someone's scars is to pretend that you don't know, and Shen Tang did exactly that, but——
Shen Tang held his chin in his hand, lost in thought and uninterested in official matters.
Qishan was curious: "Why is my lord troubled?"
"I just suddenly thought of a question - Wangchao is alone now, but he had an engagement before, but it didn't work out. Where are you and Wuhui? When the situation in Fugu City stabilizes, should we send someone to find their whereabouts? come over?"
As a qualified boss, you should care about all aspects of your subordinates. Only when their families are harmonious can they focus on working for her. But Shen Tang's worries were obviously unnecessary, Qi Shan said calmly: "Shan Tang is alone in the family."
Shen Tang: "..."
In this era, are there still single people in their 20s and 44s?
Still alive!
"Where's Wuhui?"
Qi Shan sneered and asked: "Master, do you know how high the vision of the 'Three Heroes of Chu' is? Not to mention that she is the daughter of a noble family, but at least her talent and appearance match her. Chu Wuhui became famous at a young age, and he was arrogant, but his life has experienced ups and downs since then. …”
Specifically, ups and downs...
The highlight of life has not been solved. After falling again and again, do you still want to find it? If Chu Wuhui got married, his partner would probably be the wife who worked in the kitchen of Yuehua House in Xiaocheng. Hum, no need to ask, he is also an old bachelor.
Shen Tang: "...then Mr. Ji Shou shouldn't be..."
Kang Shi's family is the most complete among them.
There should be elders who can arrange the marriage.
Who would have thought that Qi Shan showed something meaningful: "Does the Lord know that his way of being a scribe can defeat him for five consecutive terms?"
With Kang Shi's family background and talents, it shouldn't be difficult to get out of singlehood, and his family had indeed promised him a marriage. However, Kang Shi couldn't stand up to his failure. He awakened to the way of a scholar too early, and he still had such bad attributes. It was miserable.
The engaged woman either eloped with her lover or suffered from serious illness and minor disasters, including fires, thefts, and conflicts with the elders of the clan. The six rites of acceptance, asking for names, accepting acknowledgments, accepting invitations, asking for a date, and welcoming in person are the most difficult of fates. Only persist until the "request period".
Shen Tang: "..."
Good guy——
Isn't this too tragic?
Shen Tang asked: "What then?"
Are you forced to be single? ? ?
Qi Yuanliang couldn't help laughing.
Whispering gossip - The expert clarified the confusion and said that Kang Shi's way of being a scholar was too domineering, so he should either find someone who was equally domineering to restrain him, or find someone who could support him and help him. Except for these two situations, anyone who comes will be killed.
Shen Tang: "..."
Why is she speechless?
Because literary scholars and brave warriors were previously reserved for men, Kang Shi had no choice but to break up with someone if he wanted to be single. However, he was not good at this, so he was forced to stay single. Anyway, this life is so short, you will get used to it after a long time.
Shen Tang: "..."
Shen Tang felt a little overwhelmed knowing so much gossip at once. Just when Zhao Feng came over to submit the prisoner list, Shen Tang asked Zhao Feng how his family was doing. Zhao Feng had a puzzled look on his face and scratched his head: "...It's good. I'm sorry for Mr. Shen's concern."
Zhao Feng asked casually.
"Why did Mr. Shen suddenly ask this question?"
"...I thought General Zhao hadn't gotten married yet..."
It seems that I am just special here.
Catch a single dog.
Zhao Feng laughed loudly, thinking that Shen Tang was old enough and it was normal for him to admire her at a young age. He stroked his beard and said: "I am so old, how can I not have a family yet? My children are older than Mr. Shen..."
A brave warrior has abundant Qi and blood, and his aging is delayed when he reaches a certain age. In addition, he takes good care of himself, so it is difficult to tell.
Seeing that Shen Tang was hesitant to speak, Zhao Feng said cheerfully: "Does Mr. Shen have anything else to ask?"
Shen Tang asked: "How did General Zhao and his wife meet?"
Zhao Feng: "The First Lord protects the matchmaker."
This "first owner" is the previous boss.
Shen Tang's expression fell silent for a moment.
Does this mean she still has to work as an iceman part-time? ? ?
No, it is too difficult for these bosses in her account. They are either old, have heartache, have high vision or have a hard life. Even if Cupid uses Gatling to fire golden arrows, it may not be able to solve the problem. Is she considered a der? Shen Tang's expression suddenly collapsed.
The problems didn't last long.
Then he was kicked away by a pile of government affairs put down by Gu Chi.
Shen Tang shouted: "Why are there so many more?"
Her butt had not left the seat for several hours. These official duties were tedious and boring. She would rather fight Gong Xiqiu twice with her sword than face this.
Gu Chi said expressionlessly: "It's been backlogged for several years."
The implication is that you can do several years of work in two days?
dream! ! !
Shen Tang: "..."
During the day, they would deal with the prisoners in each house until dawn, and when it was dark, they would handle official duties until late at night. They would sleep for two hours and work for twenty-two hours. Even the toughest people could not bear such ravages.
Shen Tang's expression was filled with pain that he couldn't express.
Gu Chi said quietly: "Since the Lord knows, what do you want to do with those things that are not available?"
He thought Shen Tang had nothing to do.
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Chi said: "Most of what Qi Yuanliang said is true, but a small part of it is based on lies and is not credible. My lord, you should put business first, and there is no need to worry that Chi will betray you easily. After all - you are different of."
Although it is common for literati and scribes to change jobs in this world, some literati will give up their minds once they are determined and will not give up easily. Only the relationship between monarch and minister can last long. If you taboo this or that, no matter how strong the relationship is, it will fall apart.
After Gu Chi finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Tang's response, he took out a few thick brochures and handed them to Shen Tang. These were the trophies found by the seven selected families (tangkou), and they were also used by them to build Fugu City. Initial capital.
