The city captain understood these official intrigues, so he didn't dare to stop him anymore, so he had to angrily go find the portrait of the shopkeeper.
He didn't dare to take his anger out on the shopkeeper at will. Daqin's laws favored the powerless people in this regard.
If there is no real evidence, if the officials disturb the people, the only ones who will be unlucky are the officials. It is true that one report will be accurate.
Qin's laws were so severe that he wanted to find fault with Shangguan. One of his faults was that he was sitting in a row. The whole family suffered and had to be cautious.
…
When the portraits of the two people came out, the city captain asked everyone around him, and they all said that they had never seen them before, and they must be foreigners.
My heart is getting more and more active, but I can't say that the outsider is doing it carefully, so I can only suppress my mood and continue to check people.
Although Fenhu City is large, there must be people who remember seeing them, and they must be able to find where they have been.
…
Military Advisor Yang ignored the city captain and went back to the city lord's palace to write a book.
It's not to ask the king to ask the city captain. This can't be done, because the more you talk about it, the more people will doubt it.
I still understand this bit of officialdom.
It was to ask for resignation from the king and write a letter.
Zhiyan suddenly found that the power of the city lord had been emptied out, and suddenly realized that he had been the city lord for almost two hundred years and had been king of Qin several times.
Fenhu City has a large population and has become an important pillar behind the front and an important material distribution center.
It is also normal for the current king to suspect that he is self-respecting, so he will use individuals to check and balance.
I understand that this is the emperor's intention, and I don't blame the king.
It's just that this old ghost has been working hard and delayed his cultivation. Now that the king is interested in Fenhu City, he should return it to the king so that he can practice.
I just hope that the king will not forget that King Qin promised Fenhu City autonomy, not to change the laws of Fenhu City, and to treat the people of Fenhu City well.
…
Before getting off work in the afternoon, Military Advisor Yang summoned everyone and explained that he had handed over an important document to the king.
Then he showed the copy of the book to everyone, and while no one was paying attention, he left his official seal and house key and drifted away.
After the city captain finished browsing the book, he realized that Military Advisor Yang had disappeared.
Unfortunately, he couldn't talk about the private meeting.
Because people said that he, the city lord, had been sidelined, and he, the city captain, said that the city lord had a private meeting with an old man and a young man in a restaurant, and he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
And there is no real evidence at all. In the eyes of others, this is a frame-up in order to drive the city lord out of power.
Moreover, he was monitoring the city lord, even if the city lord met two people in a restaurant, it was no wonder that he said he had been sidelined and simply resigned.
It's uncomfortable for any other person to be so suspicious.
In this way, the king will not be able to show his face, and he will be the only unlucky one.
Although the old man and the young man were indeed suspicious, this matter could not be stated openly.
…
The territory of Fenhu City is 10,000 miles, the urban area is 2,000 miles, and the rest are mountainous areas.
There has been a lot of development over the past two hundred years, and some hills have become completely bald.
Shan Qi and Gu Ling'er stood on the top of a bald mountain and looked out, watching the afterglow of the sun shine all over Fenhu City, covering the city with an orange-red light.
On the long city wall, soldiers standing guard and patrolling were wrapped in light groups, which were the reflection of armor and blades.
Inside and outside the city wall, countless smoke curled up and danced in the air, changing into various postures.
Some are covered with glow under the sunlight, forming strange-looking objects.
No matter what they look like, each one tells the story of the tranquility and peace of this city.
From Fencheng in Shanxi Province, which had only one million people back then, to Fenhu City, which now has 30 million people.
Yamazaki believed that he no longer owed those people.
Of course, this is an overall picture, and there may be some cause and effect on individuals. After all, some people have unsatisfactory lives, and some people commit crimes and die.
But that's just a small fraction and nothing to worry about.
"Master." Commander Yang appeared a few feet away and bowed in salute.
Yamazaki looked at him and said, "I feel lighter after resigning. My state of mind is different, and my cultivation level improved immediately."
"Please give me more advice, Master, in the future."
"With your current merits and qualifications, if you go to the underworld to report, you should be able to sit like a city god, but it is still too early to become a ghost and immortal. You will have to suffer."
Military Advisor Yang smiled bitterly, "Yang understands, take your time and let nature take its course."
"That's all I need." Yamazaki smiled, "Come on, tell me how you have lived like this for the past hundred years."
…
This has to start with Zhu Ya and Lu Buwei. Ever since Lu Buwei saw Zhu Ya at Fan Zhen's place, he fell in love with her.
However, Zhu Ya, the former Princess of Zhou, had her eyes set high above the rest and looked down upon Lu Buwei, a merchant at all.
Lu Buwei didn't give up and made excuses to visit every now and then. In the end, Zhu Ya simply made it clear.
Lu Buwei left in shame and anger. From then on, his business style changed and he became more powerful, constantly trying to find ways to make friends with powerful people.
Although he had many ups and downs and lost a lot of money, he was getting closer to the upper echelon of Qin Kingdom step by step.
Fan Zhen, a big businessman, keenly sensed that something was wrong and began to transfer the Fan family's assets. However, the Fan family did not all listen to her and gradually split into two branches.
When King Qin succeeded to the throne, Lu Buwei also climbed to the top of the merchants and became one of the royal merchants who could often enter and leave the palace.
The business grew bigger and bigger, the more he did, and he also controlled some business routes. He dug holes and grabbed the throat of the Fan family.
It's just that Fan Zhen has already been separated. Even though Lu Buwei's hands and eyes are all over the sky, he can't grasp Fan Zhen's painful feet.
However, after learning a lot about Zhu Ya from the Fan family and understanding that Zhu Ya was once the concubine of the King of Zhou, not only did he not back down, but he became even more interested.
Lu Buwei tried his best to arrange a lot of jewelry and gorgeous clothes for Zhu Ya.
Faced with many beautiful things, Zhu Ya couldn't help but accept them, one after another. The more she accepted, the more she accepted. Lu Buwei also changed her mind. After all, people are short-handed.
At this time, the Fan family could no longer stop Lu Buwei, so Fan Zhen invited Yang Chuan to come and make it clear to Zhu Ya in person.
Lu Buwei has evil intentions and is not a good person, so Fan Zhen will not get too involved with him.
If Zhu Ya is willing, that is her own business. As a person over a hundred years old, she should be responsible for herself.
Zhu Ya said that she had a plan in mind and Fan Zhen didn't need to worry about it.
Fan Zhen ignored her from then on and moved out of Fenhu City to live outside the city.
Later, Zhu Ya was lured to Qindu by Lu Buwei's sweet words, but Lu Buwei did not let go of the Fan family and Fenhu City.
He continued to infiltrate the Fan family and control the Fan family, but Fan Zhen's side was watertight, so he slandered Wang Shangjin, saying that Fan Zhen had close relations with powerful people from other countries.
It was nothing at first, but when Qin State lost the foreign war, the king became angry with Fan Zhen and wanted to hold her accountable.
However, when the army surrounded Fan Zhen's mansion, they found that the mansion was empty.
Fan Zhen is so smart, she had already guarded against this move.
But this harmed Yang Chuan - someone claimed that he had a close relationship with Fan Zhen and leaked a lot of confidential information.
Since Fenhu City is a fiefdom, it is not good for the king to take action because of this. After all, Fan Zhen is a businessman, and it is normal for him to have friendship with the city lord.
If there is a problem with a businessman, go and arrest the city lord, and officials from all over the country will stop talking to the businessmen in the future. This is a huge blow and cannot be justified.
