Xu Yi stared at Zhuo Zhen with strange eyes. This guy he once hated so much seemed to have changed a lot without knowing it.
Zhuo Zhen did many ridiculous things under the indulgence of his father Zhuo San. Bullying men and dominating women was commonplace before him. Even his official position as county governor was bought by his father with money earned from reselling fake medicinal materials. of.
However, after Chu Zhongan got rid of Zhuo San and threatened Zhuo Zhen with fake poison, this ridiculous, greedy and fatuous Qiao County County Yin changed his mind greatly, and he began to handle government affairs seriously.
Although his ability is limited, many things cannot be solved by his own ability, but when he encounters problems, he will ask Xu Yi for help, and Xu Yi will not refuse. The agents of the Seven Kills Battalion are all smart and capable people. Among the entire Dark Star Branch, It is not difficult to try to help the county governor solve the problem.
In just a few months, the government of Qiao County was harmonious and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. When the entire Yingzhou was in turmoil, it was rare to see such a good situation in Qiao County.
The people greatly appreciated the change of the county governor. As the saying goes, if you are in the palace, you must be good at practice. It is true that Zhuo Zhen was not a good official before, but after he changed, the people easily forgave him.
People often compared him with the former county Yin Liu Song, but no one compared him with Qin Chuan.
In the hearts of the people of Qiao County, no official can match Qin County Yin. He is a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people. After Qin Chuan's death, the people of Qiao County built an ancestral hall for him in Xinyang City. The incense in the ancestral hall has not stopped for many years. However, people from Qiao County from other cities or nearby villages often come here to worship.
Zhuo Zhen, I'm very curious. Since you already know that the adult's poison is fake, why do you keep pretending to take it? Xu Yi asked doubtfully.
Zhuo Zhen showed a proud smile and said: Hehe, if I let you know that I found out that the medicine is fake, I am afraid that I will lose contact with you. Who should I go to if there are any difficult problems in the Yamen!
Xu Yi's eyes were stunned. After a moment, he also smiled, pointed at Zhuo Zhen and said: You, you, I didn't expect you to have such concerns. It seems that you have indeed changed a lot.
Xu Yi even discovered that after Zhuo Zhen corrected his evil ways, his original wretched temperament became much more restrained, and his complexion also improved a lot. He even looked a little handsome now with his original pointy ears and monkey cheeks.
People will always change. It was that adult who gave me this opportunity. Without him, my life, Zhuo Zhen, would have continued to be absurd. I would have offended some big shot and been eliminated, or indulged in drinking and debauchery and would have died sooner or later. Zhuo Zhen said solemnly on the woman's belly.
Xu Yi frowned and said: "My lord, after all, I killed your father. The hatred for killing your father is irreconcilable. Now I doubt the authenticity of what you said!"
Zhuo Zhen still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. As for the revenge of killing my father, I hated that man earlier, but when I really took charge of a party, I realized the dangers of fake medicinal materials. I I don’t know how many families have been ruined by my father’s fortune. He really deserves it, so now I can only be grateful to that adult.
Xu Yi was shocked beyond measure. He asked himself, if it were him, even if he didn't take revenge due to his status, it would be difficult to let go of hatred.
Zhuo County Yin has a clear sense of justice, Xu Yi admires him! After a moment, Xu Yi solemnly saluted and said that he no longer had a trace of disgust towards Zhuo Zhen, and really admired this guy who was a stubborn and dim-witted official a few months ago.
But then he thought again and said again: Zhuo County Yin, even if the situation is not optimistic, what is the use of trying to please the Qinghe people?
Zhuo Zhen's expression became solemn when he heard this, and he said: Xu Yi, I believe you, so it doesn't hurt to talk to you.
Xu Yi didn't answer and waited quietly for Zhuo Zhen's next words.
These Qinghe people are crazy. If they go crazy and kill people and set fires, it will be considered a minor matter. Even massacres are very likely to happen. I will be the first to surrender and entertain them with food, wine and concubines. At least I can stabilize them. I, Qiao County, know this. , these peaceful people should no longer commit violence.
Zhuo Zhen's words fell into Xu Yi's ears, and Xu Yi's face became ugly. He smiled bitterly and said: These peaceful people cannot be treated with common sense. Our Seven Kills Battalion has been fighting these guys for so many years, and we are still very hostile to these barbarians. understand.
Zhuo Zhen also sighed and said: You are right, these Qinghe people are moody. My method is not a perfect method, but you also know that I am not very smart. No matter how good I can think of, if Brother Xu has Good idea, I, Zhuo Zhen, will definitely follow it.
Xu Yi pondered for a long time, but said with a bitter look: Mr. County Yin is right, there is really no better way, but if this happens, the people will inevitably feel resentful, and I am afraid that your reputation will be bad.
Unconsciously, Xu Yi's attitude became more and more respectful.
reputation? Do people like me still care about reputation? Zhuo Zhen seemed to have heard some big joke and laughed.
Xu Yi hesitated and said: "I thought that the change of the Lord was due to the attitude of the people towards the Lord, wasn't it?"
Zhuo Zhen put away his smile when he heard this, but looking at his expression, it seemed that holding back the smile wasted his strength. He said: Brother Xu, let me tell you, a stubborn kid like me will basically not care. It doesn't matter what others say, what matters is our own feelings.
You may not believe it, but I have never done any good things since I was a child. But when I swallowed the adult’s pills and started to change because of fear, it seemed that the sense of justice in my heart was aroused, and I became more and more Enjoy being a good person.
You talk too much. People may like to say a few words more on this day. I want to go out for a walk. Brother Xu has a special status, so I won’t invite you to come with me. Zhuo Zhen said calmly. As he spoke, he walked forward and started from him. Xu Yi heard a hint of sadness in his words.
Xu Yi dodged and blocked Zhuo Zhen's way. He frowned and said: No, the matter is not as simple as County Yin said. You must be hiding something from me!
Zhuo Zhen looked at Xu Yi's determined look. It was obvious that he would not be able to leave this place unless he told him clearly. He sighed softly and said: Brother Xu, why are you doing this? What's the use of knowing it?
Before Xu Yi could speak, Zhuo Zhen continued: I think Dark Star is so powerful that Brother Xu should be able to confirm whether those rumors are true or false. Commander Qinghe's love of killing people must not be hidden from Brother Xu.
Our Dark Star branch has already concluded this matter. This Aoba Shinichi does have this hobby. Xu Yi nodded.
It was because of this that I made today's plan. Aoba Shinichi kept his promise. Just now he had arranged for me to find people for his entertainment. I followed his words and promised that if I can't find so many I offered myself up for him to torture and kill, and he already agreed! Having said this, a trace of pride appeared on Zhuo Zhen's face.
Xu Yi looked at the county governor with complicated eyes, and he slowly said: Sir, are you going to trade your own life for the lives of innocent people? This is absolutely impossible. If General Qinghe goes back on his words, your death will be in vain!
I can only give it a try. These arrangements of mine are not a foolproof method. Now, it can only depend on luck. I used to like gambling, but this time I played bigger and risked my life. When Zhuo Zhen said this, a smile appeared on his face again.
Four words flashed in Xu Yi's mind.
Suddenly an idea flashed across Xu Yi, and he said urgently: Sir, why don't we take advantage of Aoba Shinichi and the Lord to be alone, and I will summon Dark Star's masters to assassinate Aoba Shinichi, so that the Lord's life can be saved!
Zhuo Zhen's expression was weird. Xu Yi had the feeling that Zhuo Zhen looked at him like a fool.
Brother Xu, this is a huge mistake. Let’s put aside whether Aoba Shinichi can be killed as a master. If he really kills the enemy commander, how should the 100,000 Qinghe army deal with it? In this case, I, Qiao County The people will inevitably be slaughtered, and when the time comes, how will you and I deal with it?
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: I didn't think carefully. The pros of the assassination really outweigh the cons.
There is no way, the enemy is strong and we are weak, we cannot force ourselves. If we are soft, we will be soft to the end. If there is a slight deviation, it will be a point of no return. Zhuo Zhen said helplessly.
Xu Yi's face turned ugly. He couldn't help but think that the once glorious sect was now hopeless.
Brother Xu, since there is no better way, just follow this little brother's method. Don't feel sorry for me, my life is already wonderful, and looking at the entire Qiao County, there is no one who is more suitable to do this than me. Zhuo Zhen said calmly.
Xu Yi wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhuo Zhen: Brother Xu, now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. If you feel sorry for me, my brother, Aoba Shinichi will really go back on your promise.
He suddenly paused for a moment in the middle of the sentence, and then continued: Forget it, no matter what, don't provoke these terrible guys again. After the matter is over, Brother Xu will help bury me in a place with better scenery.
Xu Yi remained silent, as if thinking about something, and then nodded solemnly after a moment.
Before Xu Yi could say anything, in the corner of the corridor where the two of them were, a Qinghe general drunkenly hugged a young woman. This woman was one of the beautiful concubines arranged by Zhuo Zhen. These women with heavy makeup were all A promiscuous woman in a nearby fireworks place.
Zhuo Xian, who had not been to the land of fireworks for a long time, appeared again in major brothels, but this time he was not looking for fun, but planning some important things. He actually revealed part of this plan to those woman.
In the face of righteousness, even prostitutes knew how to make a choice. Many of them resolutely returned to the county government office with Zhuo Zhen. Different from the past, this time, Zhuo County Yin gave money.
