After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

"So many horses were all sold to these horse market owners by Liu Jiaqiang two months ago!" Liao Qilong immediately told Shen Qingjun a heartbreaking thing.

'Yeah?So the horses I just bought at the horse market all came from government horse farms? 'Shen Qingjun really doesn't know this. After all, the Liu family burned all the account books.
"The Liu family is really good at business!" Shen Qingjun couldn't help but sneered.

'Very good, the Liu family owes me another sum. I'll wait to settle the accounts later!And it seems that harming the public and enriching private interests is a consistent method of the Liu family...' she thought secretly.

"In fact, when the news came that His Majesty made Duke Shen the Duke of Wuwei, the Liu family took out a large number of horses from nowhere and forced the horse market shopkeepers to buy them at high prices... Of course, where did these horses come from? Everyone in Wuwei County Everyone knows it!”

"Because of the sudden convulsion in the Liu family, there is no shortage of horses anywhere in Wuwei County. It is winter, and it is impossible to rush south to buy them in the cold weather. Where can I find buyers at this time?" Liao Qilong continued.

The news of Shen Qingjun's title and the location of the fiefdom reached Wuwei more than two months later without anyone specifically asking about it. The Liu family, a guy who just wanted to stay in his hometown and didn't want to move, naturally didn't know this.

Therefore, she was knighted in September, but the Liu family heard the news in November, nearly two months in between. Of course, it can be seen that the Liu family's relationship is indeed not good. There were changes in their territory, and no one told them.

"The horses bought by Master Wei have been in the hands of those horse market shopkeepers for two months! Just the hay to feed the horses has made those horse market shopkeepers lose money!

But we can't deprive those animals of food. From time to time, we have to replenish the egg concentrate, otherwise even good horses will be spoiled... Even if we can't make money back, there is still hope, but this horse Once the son is raised useless, everything is lost. "

"So today Master Wei solved their difficulties with a wave of his hand. How about living Bodhisattva? Of course, in order to sell these horses, the horse market shopkeepers also sold them at a discount and at a loss."

"What you said is interesting, but if you are a living Bodhisattva, then you have to be my lord, how about me? I can barely be regarded as a philanthropic boy under my lord!" Shen Qingjun never forgot to protect his persona as the master of the book in front of Liao Qilong.

"That's right, that's right, Duke Shen is a living Bodhisattva, and Master Wei, the shopkeeper of Yuma City, is a boy who is good at making money! And Duke Shen is a boy who makes money...".

Shen Qingjun found that the fat man in front of him was worthy of his family background as a merchant, and he was very talkative.

"But...what a shame! Even if Master Wei is the boy who makes the money, the money will eventually flow into the Liu family's warehouse, and sooner or later the county government will become a link in the Liu family's support chain!" Liao Qilong clapped his hands in time and lamented. !
"Huh?" Shen Qingjun raised her eyes. She didn't agree with what Liao Qilong said. Sooner or later, the things in the Liu family's warehouse would flow into hers...and it was impossible for her to support the Liu family!
"Master Wei, don't you agree with what I said?" Seeing the change in the corner of Shen Qingjun's eyes, "I asked the chief, if the Duke's mansion stays in Wuwei for a day, eating, drinking and defecating will be inevitable, right?

As long as the county government continues to eat and drink, will it sooner or later become a link in the Liu family's supply chain? "Liao Qilong suddenly changed his tone and asked Shen Qingjun quietly.

"Naturally!" Shen Qingjun said the word "naturally" with gritted teeth, because she had been in Wuwei for so long, and she had not even collected half a cent of tax from the people, nor even half a cent of filial piety. The Liu family...the Liu family has earned every benefit...but they still want to earn from her...so angry!

'The Liao family has a deep grudge against the Liu family!The words subtly stirred up my dislike for the Liu family... There must be a big grudge between these two families!I really need to send someone to investigate carefully when I get back, and...'

In fact, she had discovered a long time ago that Liao Qilong always spared no effort to stir up her ill will towards the Liu family... Shen Qingjun habitually reviewed everything that had just happened. She always felt that there was something wrong with the two meetings with Liao Qilong today. It seemed reasonable. But is it somewhat deliberate after all?
'Could it be that Liao Qilong did all this deliberately? 'Of course all these are just her psychological changes, but they don't show anything on her face.

Then she said to Liao Qilong, who was looking at her with a burning gaze in front of him: "We just met today, so we are not acquaintances." Shen Qingjun will not be led by the nose so easily.

"The relationship is shallow but the words are deep. Liao Langjun wants something from me!" After saying that, he shook his head again, "No, I am just a bookkeeper, and I am not worthy of Liao Langjun. Liao Langjun is treating me, the Duke of Wuwei." Please ask for something from the government!”

Seeing Shen Qingjun's calm and calm demeanor from beginning to end, Liao Qilong expressed his admiration and could only say truthfully:
"Mr. Wei, it is clear that I am saying this because I want to take refuge with the Duke of Wuwei! I think there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. In this Wuwei County, the Liu family has become a tiger and wolf, and it is impossible for the Liu family to coexist with the Duke of Wuwei." Liao Qilong raised his eyebrows. By Shen Qingjun,
Seeing that Shen Qingjun's face was still calm, he could only say solemnly: "I, the Liao family, are willing to serve Duke Shen as a dog and horse! I am willing to be the front pawn of Lord Shen! I will do my best to help Duke Shen get rid of these tigers and wolves. I have nothing to say today, just to please Wei. Introduction from the principal!"

"Liao Langjun, have you thought about it? It is not so simple to surrender to our county government!" Shen Qingjun said lightly, "With many of the county guards in front of me, the outcome of our Wuwei County Duke's house and the Liu family is unknown. Liao Lang Isn't it too early for you to place your bets on the Liao family?" She was not going to let go easily.

"My grandfather often taught me: 'There is nothing in the world without risks! If you want to get the benefits, you have to understand the price you have to pay! Take the risks...'

No matter how complicated or dangerous this matter is, everything is just one death. What's more, it may not be my Liao family who dies! "

Liao Qilong said with full of malice: "What's more, my Liao family and the Liu family have sworn hatred, but the Liu family has never cared about us ants! But I want the Liu family to know that ants can also eat big animals. Like!" He became excited as he said it, and the corners of his eyes turned red...

"If Mr. Wei still doesn't believe in my sincerity in joining the Liao family... and still has a soft heart towards the Liu family... he thinks the Liu family can slowly be brought under control..." Liao Qilong closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind, "I also know A big secret of the Liu family, the Liu family is training their troops secretly!"

Liao Qilong's words are astonishing!
"What?" Shen Qingjun certainly didn't have any tender feelings for the Liu family. This was something she had already determined before setting foot in Wuwei County, but the fact that the Liu family secretly trained their troops really shocked her.

"Raising private soldiers is an accomplice to conspiracy. Is the Liu family really so rebellious? The Liu family is so bold!" Shen Qingjun stood up in shock.

In fact, people from aristocratic families or those with titles in the family can raise clan soldiers, but they need to report to the emperor and the amount is strictly limited.
Obviously, the Liu family currently has no officials or titles. As a local wealthy family, they are not qualified to raise troops!It's okay to have hundreds of guards or tens of thousands of servants, but having soldiers and horses... this is a big taboo.

"Of course, other people may not know about the military power of the Liu family's military camp, but how can I, the Liao family, not know about it? Chief Wei, if you don't believe it, I can tell Master Wei where the Liu family's military camp is!"

"Where?"

"The secret place where the Liu family raises troops is actually not far away. It is only thirty miles away from Wuwei City! It is in a canyon called Huangsha Valley. It is said to be a place to raise horses, but it is actually a place to raise soldiers... because the Liu family controls There are many horse farms, so not many people doubt it!
In addition, the Liu family used various means to control all roads to that canyon, preventing outsiders from approaching...

We, the Liao family, can discover that it is also due to cause and effect... Not only that, our Liao family has mastered a hidden path that can sneak around behind Huangsha Valley! "Liao Qilong said this paragraph so fast that his words dropped like pearls.

"Master Wei, now...now...do you believe me? I wonder if the Liao family is sincere enough to join us?" Looking at his news finally made Master Wei change his face, Liao Qilong said proudly. In fact, he today I have no intention of telling this big secret...

But Shen Qingjun's calm and unchanging attitude made him a little anxious. When he was anxious, he no longer cared about hiding.

However, after being shocked for a moment, Shen Qingjun calmed down and sat down again. Looking at the fat man next to him, Shen Qingjun had to sigh:
"Some little people and small families always hide some big secrets that are unknown to the public. Zhao Jie is like this, and Liao Qilong is like this in front of you. You must not look down on the people in the world!" '

……

Night, Liao family.

"Meet my grandfather." When Liao Qilong arrived, he saw his grandfather standing in the lobby, startled, and quickly saluted and called him grandfather.

The grandfather of the Liao family didn't know how to do it, and just asked calmly: "Where did you go today? Who did you meet? Why did you come back at this hour?"

Liao Qilong was a little scared to see his grandfather like this, but he still tilted his head and chose to tell the truth:

"Today I went to see the chief registrar of Wuwei County Duke's Mansion and told her a lot of information about the Liu family. Not only that..."

Liao Qilong glanced at his grandfather before continuing: "Not only that, I also revealed the secret training of soldiers and horses by the Liu family. At the same time, I used the trail that our family secretly mastered as a pledge of allegiance, intending to completely surrender to the Duke of Wuwei." It’s home.”

The grandfather of the Liao family finally turned around. Now he couldn't calm down anymore. He was leaning on a cane with one hand and pointed at his grandson in front of him with the other hand:
"What! You, you traitor, you want to make me mad! Didn't you already say that you should wait and see what happens and take it easy? Why are you so anxious!"

"Grandpa, don't be angry, don't be angry! It's not worth breaking your body because of me!" Liao Qilong said with a playful smile, while helping his grandfather to the chair,
"Calm down your anger, calm down your anger... The anger will harm your body... You are an old man in your seventies, so you should take care of your body!" She said as she smoothed his chest and smoothed his breath.

"Come, grandpa, you have tea!" After finishing his anger, he served him tea again. The grandfather of the Liao family took his grandson's tea and took a sip before he felt his anger calmed down a little.

"You? Why don't you discuss everything with me more? The Wuwei County Duke's Mansion is like a whirlpool now, and the Liu family is holding back trouble! Didn't you see that everyone else is hiding? But you are still rushing to go..."

"How can there be..." In fact, both Shen Qingjun and the Liao family's grandfather were at a loss to guess that the reason why Shen Qingjun met Liao Qilong twice today was because Liao Qilong deliberately approached him!

As the Liao family is a Wuwei County family, he knows everything about who is in Wuwei City, but if a wealthy guest suddenly appears today and is not from Wuwei County, then she must be from the county government.

And she approached Shen Qingjun in order to use Shen Qingjun's power to protect her father and elder brother.

Of course, at this moment, he didn't know that Shen Qingjun was the Duke of Wuwei, and thought that Shen Qingjun was the chief registrar. But this Wei chief registrar could completely serve as a bridge for him to get close to the Duke of Wuwei.

"Humph, how can there be? Didn't I say it before? Don't be anxious, wait and see what happens... She is too young, her methods are not sophisticated enough, and she may not be able to see through some conspiracies..."

The grandfather of the Liao family looked at his wrinkled palms and sighed quietly, "So what if we have soldiers? How many cases in ancient and modern times have there been people who had large armies and were defeated miserably? Intrigue is just a matter of tactics..."

"Grandfather, I don't know what you are talking about, but if this is not the case, when will the revenge of father and eldest brother be avenged! Does grandfather also believe that they were killed by horse bandits? Even if they were killed by horse bandits, those horse bandits Who raised him, whose orders he obeyed, who he worked for...doesn’t grandpa know?"

"And you don't have to worry too much. The Chief Secretary Wei of the Duke's Mansion whom I met today, during the conversation with her...

I feel that this man is always calm, immovable in all directions, and observes the emperor as a minister. The Duke of Wuwei must be no ordinary person! "Liao Qilong said, this is also true. If Shen Qingjun were not so calm, he would not be so impetuous.

"Hey... you... you... okay! I am your only grandson. The Liao family will always be in your hands. The future of the Liao family still depends on you as the head of the family. Since you You've already made the wrong decision, and I won't stop you."

"Tomorrow, you go find Director Wei and take him to see the Liu family's military hideout. I'll ask your Uncle Liao to help you." The grandfather of the Liao family sighed helplessly and could only accept the facts.

"Grandpa, there's no need to be so anxious, right? Besides, we haven't even met Duke Wuwei in person. I asked Master Wei to introduce him to us... But she hasn't agreed yet... This master hasn't promised us anything. But, why don’t you keep a hand so that we can negotiate terms?”

"Hmph, now I want to be on the safe side! It's too late. Today, I, an old man, will teach you another lesson: when you do things for the powerful, don't think about asking for benefits from them. Just do it and try your best to do your best... …

Don’t think about asking them to promise any benefits. Let them see your efforts and win their favor. The benefits will definitely be greater than what you can get by secretly negotiating terms..."

"Grandpa is getting old. You have to live a long life. You are only over 70 now, so you are not old at all."

"I'm not old? I'm not old. How come no one listens to what I, a bad old man, say?" the grandfather of the Liao family said a little angrily.

"Who? Who dares to disobey your grandfather? Tell your grandson and your grandson will teach him a lesson." Liao Qilong pretended to be confused.

"Forget it, you kid, you have been naughty since you were a child..." The grandfather of the Liao family said slowly, stroking his beard: "As for you still want to see the Duke of Wuwei to negotiate terms with her? It's simply fantastic!"
