Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 1751 Revenge
When I came to the next room, I saw a piece of glass on the wall that was polished as smooth as a mirror, through which I could see the scene in the next room clearly.

Zhang Lingluo sat down, looked at Liulijing, and said, "Help me undress."

Chen Qinglan carefully took off Zhang Lingluo's dress like a servant. Zhang Lingluo asked softly, "Tell me, am I worse than Yun Woxue?"

Chen Qinglan's fingers moved across Zhang Lingluo's frosty skin and bones, flattering her, "Master is much more beautiful than Yun Woxue."

"Then why does Uncle Fu prefer her to me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qinglan thought to himself that his master was indeed jealous, and he responded cautiously, "Because the master is Mr. Xie's treasure, and Mr. Xie threw away Yun Woxue immediately after using her, so they cannot be compared."

Zhang Lingluo was very pleased and said with a smile: "Good answer, do you want me to find you a man to try it with?"

Chen Qinglan shook his head and lowered his head consciously.

Zhang Lingluo leisurely enjoyed the show in the next room: "You are not allowed to kiss there, it is reserved for my Uncle Fu."

Through the glass mirror, Zhang Lingluo saw Yun Woxue chopping off the man's head with a sword. A sneer escaped her lips. She had deliberately left the sword on the table. A tiger with its teeth pulled out is still a tiger.

Zhang Lingluo didn't even bother to put on her coat and stood up and walked towards the next room.

Yun Woxue collapsed on the ground, her face full of cowardice and shame, and sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that killing this man had taken her a lot of effort.

Zhang Lingluo smiled and said, "How does it feel to go from being a fairy high and mighty to being an ordinary person?"

Yun Woxue looked over suddenly and said coldly: "Where is he? I want to see him!"

Zhang Lingluo smiled slightly: "Why is my Uncle Fu here? Did Fairy Yun say you are naive or stupid?"

"How dare you lie to me!"

Yun Woxue raised his sword and stabbed towards Zhang Lingluo. If Yun Woxue's sword skills were still strong enough, Zhang Lingluo would surely die.

Now, Zhang Lingluo saw no threat from this sword. She raised her hand and easily took back her sword. She kicked Yun Woxue to the ground and said, "You are no longer qualified to use a sword."

The man squatted down beside Yun Woxue provocatively. Yun Woxue's expression was full of anger. He wished he could kill Zhang Lingluo, but he was powerless.

Zhang Lingluo gently lifted her chin and looked down at the face with cold eyes that revealed resentment and humiliation, yet timid and beautiful. "Tsk tsk, it's really pitiful. If my uncle Fu saw this, he would definitely be soft-hearted."

Yun Woxue spat in Zhang Lingluo's face. This was the only way she could resist.

"How rude! I really should let my uncle Fu take a good look at it."

Zhang Lingluo smiled and raised her hand to wipe the saliva off her face. Suddenly, there was a flash of silver light and Yun Woxue let out a scream. There was a clearly visible wound on her beautiful profile, and bright red blood was flowing out.

Chen Qinglan, who was standing at the door, was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that Zhang Lingluo would really dare to do this.

Of course she knew that Zhang Lingluo was ruthless and could kill people while chatting and laughing, but this matter was ordered by Master Xie. The master made the decision on her own. Isn’t she afraid of Master Xie...

The thought suddenly came to Master Xie, in comparison with Zhang Lingluo, Yun Woxue was nothing, perhaps this was the result of being spoiled due to being favored.

Zhang Lingluo sneered: "Bitch, my uncle Fu is kind and soft-hearted, but I am different. Do you know how much pain he is in?"

There was a cold look in his eyes, and a flash of silver light appeared. Yun Woxue howled again, and a long bloody wound appeared on the right side of his face.

Zhang Lingluo didn't give up yet, and slashed her smooth forehead with the sword again. The cinnabar between her eyebrows, which represented the sacred and inviolable, was suddenly submerged in blood.

Her beautiful face was ruined, and her face covered in blood was an indescribable sight.

Yun Woxue howled angrily: "Kill me!"

"Killing you is not that easy."

As Zhang Lingluo spoke, silver sword shadows flashed and slashed Yun Woxue's body countless times. Her shattered dress was instantly stained red with blood, and the ground was splattered with red spots from the spurting blood.

Zhang Lingluo could have killed Yun Woxue with just one sword, but she tortured Yun Woxue in this way.

Yun Woxue was already exhausted at this time, lying on the ground motionless, with blood still oozing from the wounds on his body.

Zhang Lingluo said softly, "You can't be called worldly if you stand far away and watch. You can only be called worldly if you are in it and feel it firsthand. You are the heir of Penglai Immortal Sect, and you are just beginning to enter the world."

After saying this, Zhang Lingluo turned and left, leaving Yun Woxue to fend for himself.

Chen Qinglan followed carefully back to the next room and helped Zhang Lingluo put on her clothes. Zhang Lingluo suddenly smiled and asked, "Lan Nu, am I very cruel?"

Chen Qinglan did not answer this question, but asked: "Master, why don't you just kill her with one sword?"

Zhang Lingluo smiled faintly: "My uncle Fu likes to take the medicine of regret the most. I spared Yun Woxue's life so that he would have medicine to take when the time comes."

"But you have already put Yun Wo Xue..."

"Ruined, huh?"

Chen Qinglan nodded.

Zhang Lingluo smiled and said, "My uncle Fu never cares about these external things. If he really wants to take medicine, he will take it even if Yun Woxue loses his hands and feet."

Chen Qinglan asked softly: "Master, aren't you..." but he didn't dare to say the words that followed.

How could Zhang Lingluo not know what Chen Qinglan wanted to say, "Even if I am jealous, I am jealous of my Aunt Qing and Aunt Ting. How can I be jealous of a woman who has no status in my Uncle Fu's heart? If I don't do this, will she be able to leave this island? She is worthless now. This kind of junk is not even worth selling."

"That face shouldn't belong to an ordinary person. If I don't do this, she will be sold to a place like this sooner or later. She will be even more miserable by then. With her proud character, she will definitely not be able to bear the humiliation and will never live in disgrace. By then, even if my uncle Fu wants to take medicine, he won't be able to do so."

"So, Master, you are thinking about Master Xie."

"I am Uncle Fu's good niece. I have to do everything Uncle Fu asks me to do beautifully."

Through the glazed environment, I saw Yun Woxue standing up with difficulty, then staggering out of the room.

"Lan Nu asked someone to follow her and watch her, no matter where she is."

Chen Qinglan understood what Zhang Lingluo meant. Even if Yun Woxue could walk out of the island, she would not survive her injuries, and Zhang Lingluo wanted Yun Woxue to live.

When Luo Chuzhuang arrived and saw the corpse on the ground, he immediately stepped forward and removed the mask on the face. He was shocked when he saw the other person's appearance and immediately went to the next room to find Zhang Lingluo.

The first thing he said was, "You killed Li Gaotai!"

Li Gaotai is the owner of this island, and all transactions here are presided over by Li Gaotai.

Li Gaotai alone is certainly nothing to be afraid of. What is scary is the forces that are colluding behind the scenes. Zhang Lingluo's actions are undoubtedly challenging the emperor.

Zhang Lingluo smiled faintly: "I didn't kill him, Yun Woxue did."

Luo Chuzhuang sat down opposite Zhang Lingluo with a serious expression: "No matter who killed him, Xuannv, why did you do this?" She didn't believe that Zhang Lingluo had no plan, and Zhang Lingluo had not discussed this matter with her at all.

Zhang Lingluo smiled faintly: "You have been unable to find out who is behind Li Gaotai, so I have no choice but to lure the snake out of its hole."

This sentence also confirms that everything was planned by Zhang Lingluo, not an accident.

Luo Chuzhuang asked: "Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"

Zhang Lingluo said calmly, "It just happened to be a sudden idea, so I didn't discuss it with you."

"Li Gaotai is dead, the people behind it must be very angry, so what should we do now?"

Zhang Lingluo smiled and said, "Since I want to lure the snake out of its hole, then of course I have to take over this island and monopolize all the business here."

"Xuan Nu, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

"He dared to sell my Xuanzong's female crown, so what else can I not dare to do?"

Zhang Lingluo chuckled as she spoke, "I knew that once a top-quality product like Yun Wo Xue appeared, Li Gaotai would come to inspect the goods in person."

"I'm afraid the person behind this can still endure it, then my efforts will fail. Uncle Luo, let's do it and uproot this place."

A bloody storm quietly unfolds on the island.

……

At present, the Daguan Kingdom seems to be prosperous on the surface, but the malpractices of successive dynasties are actually stubborn problems that are difficult to eliminate. The military governors in many places have their own troops but do not seek to advance themselves, and always ask the court for military pay.

Originally these were the sharp swords of Daguan Kingdom to defend against foreign enemies, but now they have become thorns in the side of Daguan Kingdom. Once the demands are not met, there is a possibility of collaborating with the enemy and turning against the country at any time.

From royal relatives and nobles to wealthy families and local officials, most of them spend their days in debauchery.

Except for the wealthy areas in the south of the Yangtze River, other places in Daguan Kingdom could not afford the huge military taxes. The wealthy nobles owned a large amount of fertile land, so this burden fell on the common people, who were subject to heavy taxes year after year.

Once the Northern Di marched eastward, their weak nature was immediately revealed.

Reforming a corrupt system is not an easy task that can be accomplished overnight.

The most urgent thing now is to reduce taxes and restore national strength. This move will definitely infringe on the interests of wealthy nobles and military forces. The resistance is so great that even Qin Chushang, the king of a country, cannot have the final say.

However, in the small area of ​​Huainan Road and Jiangnan East Road, as long as Xie Fu gets the support of the Lu, Zhang and Gu clans, he can make drastic changes.

The first measure is to abolish the land ownership system to solve the problem of insufficient land for farmers and excessive land occupation by wealthy and noble families.

If this initiative is to proceed smoothly, the Lu, Zhang and Gu families must take the lead and set an example.

The second measure was to dismiss all the soldiers in the two provinces and let them return to the fields. Those who retained their military service would be allowed to reclaim wasteland and make it their personal property and be exempted from taxes for three years.

In this way, the heavy burden of military taxes in the two areas of Jiangnan can be completely relieved, and at the same time the burden on farmers can be reduced, thus achieving prosperity for all people.

This second move was beyond Lu Tao's expectations. Which military governor doesn't want to have his own troops? But Xie Fu would have withdrawn all his military forces.

Xie Fu laughed: "I'm going to Lingnan to be a free and easy prince, why do I need to have an army?"

Lu Tao smiled and said, "Okay, Master Xie, if you can let it go, I need to let it go too. But I have a concern. If you let the soldiers go home, what will we do if we have no soldiers to use in future wars?"

Xie Fu laughed and said, "Lord Lu is wrong. Where there are people, there are soldiers. Where there is food, there is an army. Even though these soldiers have retired and returned to the fields, they are still serving in the army."

Lu Tao pointed at Xie Fu and said, "Good boy, I didn't expect you to be an old fox. You used the private ownership of land and military service to keep the soldiers firmly in your hands."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "That's right. Although the two regions south of the Yangtze River are all farmers, once a war breaks out, everyone will throw away their hoes and pick up their knives, and all the soldiers will be soldiers. To protect the country, the family, the fields and the land, all the soldiers will be full of enthusiasm and will be eager to join the army, and they will be invincible."

Lu Tao said excitedly: "I also know that the most urgent task of Daguan State is to reduce military power and focus on agriculture, recuperate and rest in order to achieve long-term stability. However, foreign enemies are eyeing us covetously, so how can we easily talk about reducing troops? Your move is really a win-win strategy. Thank you, Master. I have been a governor for more than 20 years, but I am not as good as you in this one."

"Lord Lu, you are too kind. You have been an official for twenty years. You have made the weak fearless, the strong afraid to act arrogant, the powerful not arrogant, the rich and the poor shoulder to shoulder, the wicked unable to sleep at night, the good people able to be promoted, justice upheld, and fairness lasting. It is already remarkable that you have ensured the peace and prosperity of Suzhou."

Lu Tao laughed loudly: "If you put such a big hat on me, I will have no choice but to support you."

"This move requires the nobles to make great concessions and sacrifices. The Four Clan of Wuzhong should take the lead. As for the Third Master and the head of the Zhang family, please ask Lord Lu to go with me to persuade them."

"In terms of concessions and sacrifices, who has made greater sacrifices than you, Xie Fu? Without a country, how can we have a family? I promise you now that both families will have to make sacrifices."

Xie Fu happily bowed deeply to express his gratitude: "Master Lu, thank you very much."

Lu Tao was shocked: "Absolutely not, it would be too embarrassing for me."

After Xie Fu left the Lu Mansion, Lu Tao supported the move of the soldiers from Huainan Road and Jiangnan East Road to demobilize and return to their hometowns.

Before leaving Suzhou for Lingnan to become a prince of a different surname, he had fulfilled a wish.

For the rest of your life, put aside your worries, treat the people around you well, and try your best to have no regrets.

He couldn't help but think of Lu Yehua again. If he could go back to the past, would he still do everything for Lu Yehua?

The answer is no. Some things cannot be done, no matter how many reasons there are.

But if he knew that Lu Yehua would die so tragically, would he?
But the answer is yes, and it has nothing to do with the reason.

Nothing is absolute in life. Everything is always changing. You can do something at a certain time and not at another time.

Just like now, he wanted to do it, but it was too late.

So regret is inevitable, there are too many things to regret in life.

Many things cannot be perfect, just do what you want.

He has now let it go, just like Su Zaomou did at the time. If He Qing knew about it, she would make a fuss, but let her make a fuss, just comfort her and treat it as a little episode in life.

It's no fun to live a life that's too peaceful and calm, haha...

Before I knew it, it was almost dusk. I thought about having a meal, taking a bath, and then going out to play with Heqing. Life was filled with beautiful longings.

As soon as she sat down in her room, Zhang Lingluo came over. The inner house was where Xie Fu's family lived, and outsiders were not allowed to come in casually. However, Xie Fu was the only man in the inner house, and Zhang Lingluo was a woman. In addition, she often visited He Qing, so there were no too many rules.

However, Xie Fu still smiled and said, "This is my inner bedroom. You can come in whenever you want. Do you still have the etiquette to be a lady of a famous family?" Only someone who is so familiar with each other, like a family, would say such things.

Zhang Lingluo said coquettishly: "Uncle Fu, do you treat me as an outsider?"

"I don't treat you as an outsider, but if you trespass without permission, you will inevitably see things you shouldn't see."
