Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 112 Recruiting Experts
As night fell, the rain poured down!

Inside the huge six-door chief helm mansion, the lights were bright, but it was a bit deserted.

Shen Du stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

In this afternoon, he had a preliminary understanding of the situation of the six gates in Taizhou.

It is not unreasonable for no one to come here.

Because of Taizhou's former general arrest and rebellion, even ordinary people are extremely dissatisfied with Six Doors, and have extremely bad reviews in private.

It has to be said that the people of Dayan still have a high degree of recognition for their country.

What's more, the former chief arrester had taken refuge in Qian Guo, which Dayan had always looked down upon.

In their cognition, what is so great about a country dominated by literati masters.

Dayan established the country with martial arts and awarded honors with military merits. In these years of peace, the imperial court deliberately opened up imperial examinations, which improved the status of literati.

Even so, the Yan people still look down on the literati masters who have no power to restrain chickens.

Now the only strong men in the main rudder who can do it are Chen Zhen and Liao Yuan.

Even the power at the bottom is seriously lacking now.

Any small gang has more people than the people within the six doors.

Since the chief arrester rebelled when he took office, the power of Taizhou Six Doors has plummeted, not as good as before.

In addition, the previous chief arrester also left a lot of mess.

Many tasks, a lot of old cases, he patted his ass and left, all of which fell on himself.

"Don't let me catch you!"

Shen Du sighed softly, looking out the window at the pouring rain.

Now that I have Xueyin Kuangdao in my hand, I can greatly improve my combat power.

In the last trip to the underground palace, he had confirmed that the warriors in the ordinary true mood were no longer his opponents.

Unless the opponent can also hold a magic weapon, but such people should be relatively rare.

I just don't know if I can win against the martial artist who is in the Yuan Realm of the Five Qi Dynasty.

Silently called out the system panel and glanced at it, it was still a little short of the killing point needed to upgrade to the true mood.

……

Time flies,

Three days passed in a flash.

The inner hall of the main rudder,

Shen Dugao sat on the grand master's chair, flipping through all the questions that were counted by everyone.

Chen Zhen and Liao Yuan stood below, their expressions slightly disturbed.

They have a guilty conscience!

Logically speaking, even if the previous chief arresters rebelled, they, as chief arresters in golden clothes, should deal with things in the six doors.

But now the six doors are weak, even if the two of them have the intention, they are powerless.

They are just congenital. There are not a hundred congenitals in Taizhou, but dozens of them.

Not to mention going out to enforce the law, people will scold you on the road.

Is it really possible to capture all those people?

If such a thing is really done, once the state government reports it, they will also be held accountable.

Suddenly, Shen Du's eyes stayed on a record, and he frowned and said, "What's the matter with the water transportation tax?"

"Why did the previous taxes still have to be reported, but have not increased in recent years, but have been decreasing, and recently there has been no income?"

The faces of the two changed slightly.

Liao Yuan secretly groaned, this one looks young, but his thoughts are really delicate.

Liao Yuan whispered: "This matter...is decided by the previous chief arrester."

"My Taizhou Six Gates was originally in charge of the taxation of the entire Taizhou water transport, but the previous chief arrester gave up part of the water transport tax to the 36 Water Village and the Giant Spirit Gang."

"Because he was the chief arrester at the time, he suppressed the matter."

Chen Zhen sneered from the side: "In addition to taxation, that guy also gave up the supervision of water transportation."

Taizhou relies on Qianguo. In addition to grain production, the biggest income is water transportation and taxes.

The annual water transport tax can be described as an astronomical figure.

However, there is often a gap between what is reported every year and the actual tax.

How much of this was left to him for private use.

Moreover, the water transportation is not monitored by the six gates, who knows what those guys will transport in private.

Once something goes wrong, they need to take responsibility.

Shen Du sneered, he understood a little now why this guy rebelled suddenly.

The six gates have always had the custom of conducting an inspection every five years, sending out inspectors to each state to inspect the six gates in each state, which is also a kind of merit assessment.

This guy was probably afraid that he would make too much trouble, so he simply defected from the country of Yan.

Of course, there is also a possibility.

The former chief arrester is basically a Chinese citizen, and everything he has done is to destroy the foundation of Taizhou's six gates.

No matter what the situation is, it is not a good thing for Dayan.

Shen Du tapped the table lightly with his index finger, silent.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "This official is here to take up his post in Taizhou. I think many people in Taizhou don't know about it."

"Go to the next invitation, and say that the official invites all the forces in Taizhou to the banquet."

Both Chen Zhen and Liao Yuan were taken aback.

send invitations?
What does this grown-up want to do again?
If it was the former chief arrester, those people would definitely give him some face, but now...

Isn't this an obvious self-inflicted humiliation?
Shen Du had a panoramic view of the expressions of the two, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Just do it!"

"Yes!"

The two hand in hand.

At this moment, a policeman in black came over and whispered something in Liang Ying's ear.

Liang Ying nodded, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Ai Tianfu is here."

A smile flashed in Shen Du's eyes, and he said lightly, "Let him in."

Liang Ying turned around and waved his hands.

Not long after, Ai Tianfu, holding an iron sword, slowly walked into the inner hall.

Chen Zhen and Chen Yuan looked at Ai Tianfu, their expressions moved slightly, and they asked in surprise, "Evil without eyes?"

"Mustless Evil Star" refers to Ai Tianfu, who is quite well-known in Taizhou area.

Although this person is blind, he is proficient in hidden weapons, and his ordinary swordsmanship is extraordinary.

Ai Tianfu cupped his hands and said, "I'm here."

With a smile on Shen Du's face, he said lightly, "Liang Ying, go get him some clothes."

"From today onwards, you will be my red-clothed head catcher for the six doors."

"What?!" Chen Zhen and Liao Yuan were shocked.

He actually came to join the Six Doors?
With the current word-of-mouth of Taizhou Six Doors, not to mention innate masters like Wumu Xixing, even ordinary people from the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that few people would be willing.

What's more, it is rumored that Ai Tianfu has always been a lone traveler. I don't know how many aristocratic families and sects invited him, but he refused in the end.

What did the new chief arrester attract such a master?

There was a sense of crisis in the hearts of the two of them at the same time.

Originally thought that they would be needed after the new chief arrester took office.

But the new chief arrester not only brought his own people with him, but also recruited such masters as "Wu Mu Xi Xing". They won't be excluded again, right?
Ai Tianfu nodded calmly, his character is like this.

Talk less!

Joining Six Doors, just because he said yes.

Shen Du casually threw out a token, and calmly said: "Taizhou Six Gates below the third floor of the treasury, you can take a look."

He could tell that day that Ai Tianfu's strength is not weak, but it's a pity that he lacks good martial arts.

One-handed sword skills can only be said to be good, not so outstanding.

This person has faintly touched the threshold of sword intent, and his talent is quite good.

If he can be given resources, it should not be difficult to become a true artistic conception, or even step into the Five Qi Dynasty.

Holding the token, Ai Tianfu was greatly surprised, and his tone suddenly became more respectful: "Thank you!"

He knows what this means to him.

Those aristocratic sects had recruited him before, but he knew very well that even if he really joined them, he would not get the core exercises.

Moreover, those aristocratic families have too many restrictions, outsiders are outsiders after all.

What he pursues is the ultimate swordsmanship, and what he really yearns for is the world's five great sword sects.

But the five great sword sects in the world would not accept someone like him.

The six sects may not be as proficient in swordsmanship as the five great sword sects, but they must possess a lot of martial arts.

Shen Du looked down at the letter paper on the table.

These are the innate masters in the city who have not been recruited by his people in the past few days, and they can be regarded as lone rangers.

One Ai Tianfu is far from enough.

Shen Du stood up and said, "Chen Zhen, Ai Tianfu, you two should accompany me for a walk."

Chen Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes!"

The three stepped out of the main rudder and walked towards the center of the city.

Shen Du glanced at Chen Zhen, and said as he walked, "How much do you know about the 'Soul Breaking Gun'?"

"Qi Shengjiang?"

Chen Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "My lord, are you trying to recruit him?"

He thought about Ai Tianfu.

He now understood a little bit what the lord was thinking.

Shen Du smiled and said, "Is there any problem?"

Chen Zhen said hesitantly: "This person is unreliable and has a stubborn personality. All the big families in the city have tried to recruit him, but he has rejected them all."

"He came from another place. His real identity has always been a mystery. After he came to Taizhou, he settled down."

"However, this person's strength is indeed not weak. He was already in the Stellar Qi Realm three years ago, and his family-inspired marksmanship is extremely famous."

Shen Du nodded and said, "Lead the way, let's meet him for a while."

Chen Zhen sighed, didn't say anything more, and walked ahead to lead the way.

Everyone walked for three streets, and soon a restaurant came into everyone's eyes.

Chen Zhen pointed to the restaurant and said, "My lord, this is the restaurant opened by Qi Shengjiang, the soul-destroying gun."

Shen Du looked at the restaurant in front of him and said with a smile, "The business is quite good."

"Come on, go in and see!"

Shen Du walked into the restaurant first.

A waiter from a restaurant immediately came up to greet him, and said with a flattering smile: "Guest officials, what do you want to eat?"

Shen Du casually said, "Let's serve some of your signature dishes."

"okay!"

The waiter in the restaurant responded, quickly left, and ran to the back kitchen.

Shen Du chose a seat by the window and sat down, waved his hand and said, "You all should sit too."

Chen Zhen hesitated for a while, but when he saw Ai Tianfu sitting down, he no longer shy away from it, and sat down on the other side.

After a while, the food was brought up.

Shen Du just glanced at it, then called Xiao Er, and said calmly: "The dish is salty, go and change it."

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, seeing that they were not like ordinary people, he nodded apologetically, and hurriedly said: "Please wait a moment, I will ask the back kitchen to change."

Chen Zhen looked at Shen Du blankly.

Shen Du didn't have the slightest intention to explain, and looked sideways out of the window.

"Guest officer, your meal!"

Not long after, Xiaoer cut off a new one and came up.

Shen Du didn't even look at it, and said calmly: "It's faded, let's get a new one."

A trace of anger appeared between Xiao Er's brows.

Are you here to find fault?

"Guest officer, would you like to try it?"

Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't want to tear his face, it was too ugly.

Shen Du smiled but said: "Whether it's light or not, I can tell when I smell it, do I still need to taste it?"

Xiao Er held back his anger and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

Holding the dish, he removed the dishes from the table.

Chen Zhen's face was full of astonishment, and he hesitated to speak several times.

Didn't you come here to recruit?
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
This doesn't look like he's here to solicit, it's clear that he's here to find fault.

This time Xiaoer didn't go to the back kitchen, but came to the backyard.

"Shopkeeper, there's a troublemaker coming up ahead!"

Under the eaves of the backyard, a strong man with a vicissitudes of life and his upper body exposed was holding a big gun and was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Qi Shengjiang frowned slightly, put down the gun with a "dang", and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Xiao Er recounted the matter with an aggrieved expression.

Qi Shengjiang snorted coldly, and said angrily, "How courageous!"

"If you dare to make trouble in my territory, I want to see who is he!?"

Qi Shengjiang grabbed a gown casually, strode out of the backyard, and went straight to the restaurant.

Xiao Er accompanied him, pointed to the distance in a low voice, and said, "The shopkeeper is them."

"Chen Zhen?"

Qi Shengjiang was puzzled.

The man with six doors?
As far as he knew, Chen Zhen didn't seem like an unreasonable person.

Qi Shengjiang set his eyes on Shen Du again, and his heart suddenly trembled.

What a terrible evil spirit!

This is not like the aura that an ordinary Jianghu person should have.

Qi Shengjiang suppressed the doubts in his heart, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Several, I'm going to Qi Shengjiang, I don't know where I offended everyone?"

"Please draw another path!"

Chen Zhen didn't say anything, he knew very well that he couldn't make the decision here today.

Shen Du narrowed his eyes slightly, took a look at Qi Shengjiang, and said with a smile, "I'm here to give shopkeeper Qi a bright future."

"I am the chief arrester of the six gates in Taizhou, Shen Du."

"what?!"

Qi Shengjiang's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

Shen Du is obviously not the guy who arrested the rebellion before, so there is only one possibility.

The new boss of six doors!

But this is too young, right?

Although I don't know the specific strength of the opponent, but this is the true mood, right?

Qi Shengjiang subconsciously looked at Chen Zhen, seeing his expressionless face, he was sure that this person might really be the new Chief Arrester of Six Doors.

Shen Du raised the tea on the table and took a sip, then said with a smile, "I wonder if shopkeeper Qi is willing to join my six doors?"

Qi Shengjiang didn't even think about it, and directly refused: "I'm sorry, Qi is reckless in the world, and it's hard to get into the elegant hall. Mr. Shen should invite someone else."

What a joke!
He had never joined before, let alone now.

Shen Du put down his teacup slowly, and said calmly, "Shopkeeper Qi is rejecting me?"

Qi Shengjiang frowned, and said with a sneer, "Why, is it possible that Mr. Shen still wants to overwhelm others with power?"

He has already given Shen Du face enough.

From his point of view, this Shen Du is probably another related household from above.

Shen Du smiled lightly: "That's not the case, but shopkeeper Qi, it must not be going well recently, right?"

A strange look flashed in Qi Shengjiang's eyes, he shook his head and said, "What does Lord Shen mean by that?"

Shen Du smiled.

He knew, he guessed right.

Judging from the information collected by the six gates of Taizhou, this person has been extremely low-key since he came to Qingzhou.

Even this restaurant was sold for the sake of livelihood.

An innate master with a majestic qi environment is so low-key, most likely it is to avoid the pursuit of the enemy.

Shen Du said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Qi should be clear in his heart."

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Yan is still alive. The biggest power in the world is the imperial court!"

"Join the six doors, I can protect you!"

Shen Du's words were resounding.

Qi Shengjiang said coldly: "Why should I trust you?"

Shen Du laughed, and said in a deep voice, "Just because I am Shen Du."

"It's just that the four big gods of Dayan are standing behind me!"

"Based on the entire city of Taizhou, only I am willing to help you, and only I can help you."

"Is this reason enough?"

Qi Shengjiang's eyes flickered, his eyes were tangled, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Okay!"

Shen Du got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Qi made a correct choice."

Qi Shengjiang looked at Shen Du, and suddenly asked curiously: "Master Shen, what if Qi doesn't want to join?"

Shen Du paused, glanced back, and smiled slightly: "Of course I'm sending you on your way!"

"I don't want to lose face."
