The governor of Shanling County is also a shrewd man. Not only did he lend Shao Xi horses, he also specially sent a small team of people to follow Shao Xi to Wuyang County. He said that firstly, he could protect Master Shao's safety along the way, and secondly, This is to avoid the misunderstanding at the city gate from happening again, making it impossible to enter the city and missing the official business.
Shao Xi is very satisfied with this arrangement. It can be seen that the governor of Shanling County is still very active in attacking the Zhao family of Yujiang County.
Thinking about it, the Zhao family did go too far. Not only did they harm the local people, but even neighboring counties in the same state were dissatisfied with them. This shows how greedy the Zhao family is, and they do not hesitate to harm the interests of others to satisfy their selfish desires.
In fact, after Shao Xi understood the interest relationship between these three counties and Yujiang County, he felt that the Zhao family was short-sighted and only cared about self-interest and could not see the existence of long-term interests.
It is said that the supply of high-quality silk from these three counties to Yujiang County will help the expansion and development of Yujiang County's cloud yarn industry and form a complete supply chain and industrial chain. It is precisely a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual support that will have a great impact on the finances of the four counties. It is of great benefit to people's livelihood.
It's a pity that the Zhao family only wants to raise the price of yarn and then exempt their own yarn industry from yarn tax to maximize their personal interests, thereby passing on the tax pressure to ordinary yarn mills and cloth shops, limiting the local yarn industry. The healthy development of yarn industry.
In order to further expand profits, various despicable means were used to severely lower the purchase price of raw materials, which also caused the industry in the raw material supply areas to shrink and harmed the interests of the vast majority of people. The Zhao family in Yujiang County deserved to be punished. Scorned by others.
Originally, Shao Xi proposed to Zhao Huajun to take over Yujiang County's yarn industry, with the main purpose of forcing Zhao Huajun to restore the local yarn tax to its original state. It seems that if the Yujiang County's Yunsha industry is really taken over and then cooperated with the three counties of Shanling, Wuyang and Liantai, it will definitely make a difference.
This will not only expand and develop the local yarn industry, but also make a lot of money for yourself? If such a long-term profitable industry develops, not only can I buy a good one from Xiao Changyi, but I can also have a long-term and stable way to make money. That is really killing two birds with one stone, why not do it!
Now it seems that this operation is beneficial to all parties involved. Let alone profiting from it, the three counties of Bozhou can also restore and develop the sericulture industry for long-term profits in the future. Cui Qi, Sun Jue and others can also benefit from this. Realize your ambition to be an official.
Since everyone can get what they want from overthrowing the Zhao family, it seems that Shao Xi does not have to worry about this initiative, and will definitely cooperate fully and enforce the orders and prohibitions.
Shao Xi and the people who followed him from Shanling County galloped all the way to Wuyang County. When they arrived at the foot of Wuyang City, the sky had already started to shine, and a little bit of fish belly white was already showing in the east.
There was no need for Shao Xi to shout this time. The people from Shanling County rushed to the city gate and explained their intention to the soldiers on the city tower. When the people on the city saw that they were from the neighboring county, they wanted to see him on important matters. The county magistrate also hurriedly informed everyone.
He didn't wait long before he saw the city gate half-opened, and a team of people came out of the city guarding a sedan, and hurried to Shao Xi and others.
After getting off the sedan, the governor of Wuyang County got down from the sedan and ran to Shao Xi to kneel down and bow down.
Shao Xi also hurriedly dismounted from his horse to help him, confirmed his identity and explained his purpose of coming. The governor of Wuyang County agreed and immediately sent people back to the city to organize the troops and horses to accompany Shao Xi to Yujiang County.
Now that the soldiers and horses from these two counties have finally been mobilized, I don't know if the Shaonv side is going well? However, he could not take care of so much at this time. Shao Xi sent his companions back to Shanling County to inform the soldiers and horses of Shanling County to meet up with the soldiers and horses of Wuyang County on the way and rush together to the vicinity of Nanshan in the south of Yujiang City.
The march of a large group of people is not like when Shao Xi is alone. No matter how fast they rush along the way, the speed is always much slower.
Shao Xi also knew that there was no need to rush. Apart from a few words of urging, he could only walk slowly with the large group of people. However, judging from the current marching speed, he should be able to reach the scheduled location before dusk.
While Shao Xi and the troops from the two counties were spending a whole day on the road, the atmosphere in the governor's mansion in Yujiang City was depressing and even a little strange.
"This Sun Jue is really arrogant. He relies on himself to control the soldiers and horses of this county, but he even ignores the orders of the government. Now the soldiers in this county don't even recognize me as the county guard. Seeing my token They refuse to obey orders.”
It's no wonder that Zhao Huajun jumped in anger. After handing the token to Gao Can at night, Gao Can originally planned to send people out of the city to Yushui Town to find out the news, but he didn't want to be stopped by the city gate captain at the city gate.
When Gao Can showed the county guard's token, the city gate captain's answer was that they only obeyed the military orders of the county captain, and the county guard's token did not represent military orders, so they could not open the city gate and let people out. After getting Gao Chan, he returned angrily.
Now it is impossible to send people out to inquire about the news, but Gao Guang and others have not yet returned, and we do not know what the outcome of the assassination will be? But right now, it seems that things are not going well, and maybe we have encountered some big trouble.
What Gao Can was worried about was not their life or death, but that they would say something that they shouldn't say after being captured alive.
After reporting back to Zhao Huajun anxiously all the way, Zhao Huajun was also furious and crazy. He didn't expect that now he was the magistrate of the county and could not even command the soldiers in the county. This strengthened his determination to get rid of Cui Qi, Sun Jue and others.
"My lord, now that it will be daylight soon, I will immediately send people to Yushui Town to inquire about the news while the city gate is open. My lord, please don't be too anxious. We will talk about everything after the news is sent back. My lord, you have not rested all night. , why not take this opportunity to go to the back hall and sleep for a while."
"Sleep, sleep, sleep! There is no news so far. If something goes wrong, maybe everyone will be killed. If you take this risky move, you can only succeed but not fail. If you lose the entire Zhao family, you will not be able to succeed." Jiangjun will be uprooted, so how can I have the time to sleep? Can you say anything useful if you have the time?"
"Uh..., this..."
What can Gao Can say? I found the person by myself and arranged the whole thing by myself. Now, have I killed the person or been killed by him? No one even came back to report the news.
He knows what Zhao Huajun knows, and what Zhao Huajun doesn't know, he doesn't know yet. What can he say that is useful?
Gao Can was scolded by Zhao Huajun. Although he felt uncomfortable, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to leave the governor's house in anger.
Now we have to quickly arrange manpower to rush across the river by boat when the city gate opens early in the morning to go to the gauze shop of Yushui Town to find out the results of last night's assassination.
In order not to attract attention, Gao Can only sent two people to Yushui Town this time. Before leaving, he told them to be careful not to let anyone discover their intentions for this trip in broad daylight. I wonder if there was much noise caused by the assassination last night? If it is already known to everyone, they will hear the news as soon as they arrive in Yushui Town. If they can't find anything in the town, they can secretly go to the yarn shop to inquire.
The people sent out to inquire about the information this time were originally people who worked hard in the world. As long as someone was willing to pay them, they were willing to kill people and buy goods, regardless of the reason. Gao Can sent the two of them to inquire about the news because they had martial arts skills and could escape and report back if something happened.
The price of inquiring for information and killing is naturally different. The two men muttered along the way that Gao Can looked down on them. They could do the bulk of the business, but they sent others to treat them as errands and spies. News, he really underestimated himself. Therefore, the two people were discussing along the way that if they found out that the previous group of people failed to assassinate them, they could just do it themselves, and they could ask for more money when they came back with their heads.
It’s really hard to say whether these two people were brave or naive. In broad daylight, the two of them were thinking about breaking into the gauze shop to engage in the killing business. Let’s not talk about whether the killing was successful or not. Even if they succeeded, it was clear in the daytime. How do you go back to Yujiang City to get the money?
Otherwise, there is a mixed bag of good and bad people in the world. Don’t think that the world is full of martial arts masters, sword demons, swordsmen, assassins and knights. In fact, most of them just come out to make a living. Some people actually He has no real ability, he just relies on some lowly martial arts skills to bully the weak and bully some common people.
Therefore, Jianghu is not a pool of clear water, but a big dye vat, so dark that one cannot see the bottom. There are dragons here, and of course there are insects. But if you stay in this environment for a long time, some insects will feel that they are a dragon, and a dragon that can turn over rivers and seas.
When walking around in the arena, you need to be self-aware and know how to protect yourself wisely. If you have some real skills, just act in a high-profile manner. The biggest fear is that you are not very capable and you are still drifting. Such people are basically close to death. Real masters will only keep a low profile and will not take the initiative to get into trouble, but not everyone understands this, such as these two people now.
The two took a boat to Yushui Town. After getting off the boat, they stretched their necks to hear what the residents of the town and the passing merchants were talking about. See if you can hear anything about last night's assassination.
However, they were soon disappointed.
Except for some Zhang parents, the Li family is short, business is not easy to do, the children are too naughty, and the mother-in-law from the next town is caught stealing by a man, I have never heard of anything useful.
The two brothers began to think that no news was the best news. It seems that the group of people either failed to succeed yesterday or ran away with the money, so the deal still needs to be done.
So the two wandered to the gauze shop where the gauze girl lived, intending to inquire about what was going on inside the gauze shop. However, when they looked outside the gauze shop, the door was closed! I don't know if there is any work inside, let alone what happened in the courtyard last night.
"What can we find out when the door is closed? We can't find out anything. Isn't this trip in vain?"
"Why do we come here for nothing? We haven't done the big business, and if we can't make any money from the small business, how can we get around in the world in the future? People still don't treat us like trash?"
"what is it now?"
"What should we do? Go in! If the guy Mr. Gao said is still alive in the courtyard, just kill him. Wouldn't he make money?"
"Why don't you make money? Just do it."
"Yes! Do it!"
Well! All I can say is, they are a pair of cuties!
