A little blood seeped out from the cut on the jade neck, dripped into the soup pool and then disappeared. And the woman seemed to be a different person, her temperament was cold and calm, and she no longer had the previous charm of looking at Yan Xing. She said softly: "I dare to ask, Jiang Zuopan, how to say this."
"Because before, Wudesi had a little fox girl who couldn't bear to be taken advantage of by me. Now Wudesi can send another one to our door for nothing?" Jiang Tian sneered: "Not to mention the news about my arrival in Dongdu. , it is a very small-scale knowledge, which is too high to see the ability of Wu Desi."
"However, you were able to find this place so quickly, and you have the means not to alert the store. You must not be an official official, but you have a convenient identity and background." Jiang Tian did not relax at all with the stabbing sword in his hand, but carefully looked at the other person's body Shangxia said: "Who do you represent?"
"Who else can the slave family represent? Naturally, he is very interested in Jiang Zuopan and has a good relationship with him." The woman chuckled again: "Jiang Zuopan, before he came to Dongdu, he even did No one in the court knows about these two important events, and who doesn’t know about them?"
"Or are you just an assassin who wants to fish in troubled waters?" Jiang Tian continued to talk casually while shifting his gaze to the texture of her shoulders and arms. When the woman heard this, she sneered, "Zuo Pan is really a temperamental person, and he is extremely suspicious!"
"In that case, let me show my sincerity a little bit." She said this in her mouth, reaching out her hands to spread her fluffy bun down, but she ignored the sword blade on her neck and looked so pretty. Di lowered his head straight down, as if he wanted to hit the vital point directly.
However, the next moment, the sword blade leaning against her neck suddenly turned into a flat point on her graceful lower jaw. Jiang Tian shook his head slightly and said, "Don't be like this, are we not familiar yet? Even if you don't care, I Are you still worried that something is wrong?"
"You..." Now the woman's calm and composed posture could no longer be maintained; instead, it turned into an expression of uncontrollable shame, anger and sadness. She gritted her teeth and said in a cold voice, "Jiang Sheng! This is too much bullying. Do you really think..."
The next moment, as she retreated angrily, her snow-colored thighs suddenly flew up, and a large splash of water burst into the soup pool. As she shook her head backwards and fluttered, the two steel thorns that had been fucked had slipped out in an instant, Suddenly he opened his legs, propped up the jade, turned around and flew towards Jiang Tian who was very close at hand.
However, with the sound of nails being driven into the wooden wall, Jiang Tian, who was supposed to be leaning against the soup pool, disappeared in an instant; then he appeared next to the woman who was retreating rapidly, and suddenly put his foot in Wen Xiang's body. On the waist of nephrite, white flowers suddenly fell into the adjacent soup pool.
In an instant, Jiang Tian's thoughts moved, and he was already dressed in the same state as before taking it away. He kept swinging his sword and slashing, and in an instant the snow-white body flew out of the nearby soup pool. It screamed again, sprinkled with blood, and crashed into another curtain.
During the chase, behind the wall panels and curtains that were knocked down one after another, there were tangled human bodies screaming and screaming. Jiang Tian just glanced by chance and discovered that Murong Wu, a cold-faced policeman, actually used Youwu Wei to book a reception at public expense. The opportunity requires at least two of them to fly together.
However, a moment later, due to encountering several smooth obstacles, Jiang Tian was slightly delayed. After chasing from the alley behind the wall to the intersection, he completely lost his target. Because in the market outside, there are not too many young ladies sitting on their arms and wearing half-clothed clothes.
Unless he is ruthless and goes on a killing spree and uses any means to force out the opponent who has not escaped, there will really be nothing he can do for a while. Then looking at the large blood stains on the ground and on the wall, Jiang Tian knew for the first time that a woman could run so fast with her butt naked.
And he couldn't help but make a mistake in his judgment. The killer who was supposed to be cut into two parts actually only broke the chest, and still had the strength to escape. Sure enough, the thick fat on the chest could save his life. At this time, Li Huan, Zhang Wusheng and others had also hurriedly dressed up and chased out, saying greetings continuously:
"Recorder, what happened?"
"Zuo Yan, are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine. It's just that an assassin came in, was injured by me and ran away." Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "What!" "That's unreasonable!" "Damn it." Li Huan, Zhang Wusheng and others were shocked when they heard this. shouted:
"How could this be so?" He Si's face changed drastically and he said: He arranged to stay in this hot spring hotel with the intention of pleasing and making amends; I didn't expect that such an accident would happen again; wouldn't it be counterproductive? Then he turned back angrily to find the store.
However, at this time, I saw fire coming from the upper floor of the inn. Later, in the smoky shopkeeper's dormitory, only a cold and stiff corpse that had been hastily tortured was found; and a female corpse with a cut throat was stuffed under the bed. From the appearance, it seems that this is the body of Wude. Secretary's people.
When things have reached this point, this hot spring inn can no longer be stayed. After handing over a lot of the mess that had been dealt with to the people of Youwuwei who came in a hurry, and agreeing on a time for detailed inquiries, Jiang Tao simply took the people to visit the hot spring market, which was several miles long.
Walking in the steamy and noisy hot spring market, you can see another side of Dongdu Castle. Various hotels, hotels, restaurants, teahouses, and clothing stores related to the hot springs, as well as shops and open-air and semi-open-air stalls selling all kinds of miscellaneous goods, stretch out and grow.
Underneath the almost ubiquitous flags and streamers are wall paintings that resemble street advertisements and trademarks. There are peaches and plums, flowers, auspicious animals and ladies. It seems that no one is soliciting business, but as long as someone comes in, they will naturally be fettered by the thoughtful furnishings and techniques.
But how long can this kind of prosperity and comfort be maintained? You know, Jiang Tian had just arrived on the outskirts of Dongdu, and within half a day, he had already encountered this unexpected surprise. The joke that Takeshi knows everything and is like a sieve is also verified here.
For Jiang Tian, the way to quickly understand a place is through the street signs. In addition to routine reports from the imperial court and government notices, there are also notifications about employment and sales from various merchants; as well as various overhang demands announced by local shops and shops.
As one of the good governance inherited from the Taixing reform presided over by Liang Gong, it was to order the abolition of most of the official and miscellaneous servants in the world except for mountains, water conservancy and roads. We must know the suffering of corvee in the past dynasties. Even more so with the burden of tenant taxes.
Don't look at it. It only transfers you to other places for military service in one year, which only lasts for ten or dozens of days. However, considering the distance and cost of the journey, you often have to prepare your own food; often overdue service does not count. There is also a chance of being over-driven and dying of illness and exhaustion in service.
This is an almost devastating blow to the family unit in the small-scale peasant economy. Even if they are lucky enough to be released naturally, the farming season is often missed and delayed, resulting in reduced production and poor harvests. At that time, not only will the whole family be hungry, but they will also have to sell their sons and daughters in the face of government debt collection.
Therefore, the second item is to change the local demand for labor service to hiring, and at the same time form an engineering team dedicated to the army and the imperial court; in addition, merchants are introduced to bid for subcontracting. This also eliminates the majority of corrupt officials and subordinates in disguise, using this as an excuse to abuse people's power.
Therefore, after these three-pronged approach, although the suffering of corvee that has plagued successive dynasties for thousands of years cannot be completely eliminated, it can also be said that it can greatly reduce social conflicts and the burden of ordinary people. However, the financial resources imported from overseas development have caused another drawback.
Even among the remaining population that multiplied in large numbers during the Taipei era, not everyone is willing to go overseas to develop and make a living; nor is anyone willing to be rented and work hard in the fields. As a result, they traveled in groups across the state and counties, and came to some relatively developed and prosperous cities to make a living.
Although most of them can only engage in dirty and hard work at the lowest level; they may even enter local factories and workshops, living on a daily basis; and be employed in trading companies and shops. But it also contributed in disguise to the urbanization process in these places, as well as the accompanying prosperity of industry and commerce.
However, he just walked around the hot spring market, carrying a lot of big and small bags, and didn't see any more unusual behavior. After returning to the original place, Jiang Tian saw a group of gentlemen and officials gathered around the inn, but they were blocked by several sergeants of the Youwu Guards.
In the middle, an official in Tsing Yi with a sad face, after noticing the reaction of the right military guards, hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "But the Xantai Jiangzuo judge is in person?"
