The devil is coming

Chapter 821
If asked what kind of person he is, Zheng Fan will not hesitate to add words such as "selfish" and "hypocritical and dirty" to his forehead;
Without him, good people in this world tend to suffer easily, and being a Holy Mother does not conform to one's own taste.
But looking at the young plants that have been protected and grown by my presence, I really feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from harvesting vegetables.
In the carriage on the way back, the prince was still immersed in the feeling of good about himself. It was rare to have this kind of feeling that he felt very clean. He had to hold on to it for a while and savor it for a while, just like cotton wool that had been covered for a long time. It's good in the sun, so you have to take it out and bask in it more.
Liu Ruqing sat aside meekly, and she did not disturb him at this time;
Of course, she was also a little excited. This woman who was once the widow of the Fan family never thought that she would have such a day.
at last,
The prince was freed from his emotions,
Because the prince's hand was attached to his body again, and he was still so familiar.
"Husband, I want to leave the house in the future, and Zhong'er is getting married."
"Oh?"
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, Liu Ruqing's younger brother Liu Zhong should be a two-way plug.
"Tell Xiao Yibo to make arrangements."
"Thank you husband."
His hands were still filled with curiosity for knowledge, but the prince said next:
"I'm not going."
Logically speaking, the brother-in-law should be there to support the brother-in-law's marriage, but Zheng Fan was really too lazy to bother.
It’s not that I don’t have the effort, I just don’t think it’s necessary.
"I don't dare, I don't mean that either."
How dare Liu Ruqing invite Zheng Fan to her brother's wedding banquet? She had always kept her peace and had no other thoughts.
The most important thing is that my man won’t hit the princess’ brother-in-law whenever he wants, so there’s no mercy at all;
Liu Ruqing only hoped that her younger brother could continue to do that small job in Fengxin City, stay safe, marry a wife and have children, that was enough.
Furthermore, if Xiao Yibo arranged it, there would be no problem with the etiquette. His own face and his brother's face would be enough.
As a family member, she understands that her husband seems to like being a guest and doesn't show off, but he is visiting the Juggernaut's house next door, not other people's houses.
At this time, the carriage stopped.
"presumptuous!"
"presumptuous!"
The guards in Jinyi on the outer circle were immediately dispatched, with shields pressed forward and crossbows set up. The guards in Jinyi on the inner circle immediately guarded around the carriage.
Zheng Fan opened the curtains and looked outside.
Opposite the carriage, there was a group of people holding swords, but they were not dressed in black and did not look like assassins. After seeing the posture of the Jinyi guards, they all abandoned their swords and knelt on the ground.
Judging by his hair style, he must be a savage.
The hairstyle of the barbarians is a bit too different compared to that of the Xia clan. Although the common people at the bottom do not pay much attention to their parents, especially those in the army. When marching and fighting, lice on the hair will be as uncomfortable as possible. ;
However, because the savages like to make unique patterns on their heads based on the totems and habits of their tribes, after being absorbed into the palace system, they gradually shaved their hair and changed their clothes in order to integrate. However, after all, they are still young, and some original features can still be seen on their scalps. Mark of.
These are not assassins, and they are not here to kill;
If this is an assassin, then the person who assassinated him looks down on himself too much.
At this moment, a group of knights came on horseback. The leader was none other than Qu Peiluo, who was responsible for the security of the new city.
Qu Peiluo ordered his men to tie up all the barbarians who had hit the prince's carriage. Then he personally walked to the carriage and knelt down to apologize.
"The general was negligent and caused the prince to be frightened. Please punish him!"
"what happened?"
Zheng Fan asked.
Qu Peiluo had obviously figured out the matter and immediately replied:
"Returning to the prince, this group of savages was stationed outside the city and came from Mr. Gou's town. Today, one of them, savage Paoze, was tied up in his home by a captain. They were not angry, so they decided to go there. Save people.”
"Ha ha."
Zheng Fan laughed out loud,
Road:
"Interesting, interesting. Gu himself didn't expect that Fengxin City where Gu is located is actually a bandit den. The people under his command are still playing tricks of kidnapping meat tickets every day."
Moreover, the bidders are tied to the bidders.
"What's the reason?" Zheng Fan asked.
"If I tell you to the prince, it's because of the marriage."
……
"boom!"
The Jinyi guards kicked the door open;
There was also a group of people inside. When they saw someone breaking in, they subconsciously wanted to rob the guy. They were all standard households. How could they not have weapons at home?
But when they saw the brocade clothes worn by the intruder, they immediately woke up and all knelt down.
In the courtyard,
There was a young savage man tied up and hung there, with marks on his body that had just been whipped.
After all, the Jinyi guards were well-trained. After controlling the five or six men in the courtyard, they immediately opened the door of the back room to conduct a search. They captured two children, a woman, and a woman who was locked in the inner room and was crying. A girl with tears on her face.
At last,
Accompanied by Qu Peiluo, Prince Pingxi, who was still wearing a python robe because he went to the school today, walked into the courtyard.
When several big men in the courtyard saw this, even though their arms were suppressed by the Jinyi guards, they immediately shouted:
"Kowtow to the prince."
"Kowtow to the prince."
Some things can be learned without being taught. For example, the young master of the Qu family, who had been served by others for the first half of his life, now took the initiative to move the chair in the courtyard that was imitated by the Imperial Master's chair behind the prince.
The prince sat down and leaned forward slightly, looking at the people and things here.
Although one cannot take a one-sided view of the matter, but based on what the group of savages who were captured earlier were going to find a place to say, coupled with the scene in the courtyard at this time, the whole context of the matter can be understood.
Let’s just say there’s nothing new under the sun, it’s just another Romeo and Juliet.
The prince pointed at the savage man hanging there, and soon, two guards came forward to untie him.
The man crept over tremblingly, put his forehead on the ground, and saluted Zheng Fan:
"Kowtow to...the prince."
"Whose courtyard is it? Where is the head of the household?"
There must have been a head of the household and several other men who were called to help.
At this time, a man with a long beard shouted;
"Replying to the prince, my humble surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Da. I was the one who tied this guy up!
Straight bitch, this guy doesn't even know what kind of piss he is, and he actually wants to marry my daughter. Damn, a smelly wild toad dares to have such a fucking dream! "
Zhang Da belongs to the town of Ding Hao and is a commander. His station is just outside Fengxin City. Moreover, not long after the last war ended, the sergeants are on leave in batches.
The standing army maintained by the standard household system was not very large on weekdays. In peacetime, the male members of the standard household could engage in other productive labor.
It can be seen that although this Zhang Da is not young, his brain is really not working well.
The prince is here, and this matter can be said to have alarmed the real superiors. At this time, he completely revealed what he had done, without any regrets, and even felt that he was taking advantage of it.
Of course, if you are really smart, even if you want to break up your daughter's marriage and the so-called private life, you will not be stupid enough to do such a thing.
"What about you?"
The prince asked the savage below.
"In response to...your lord, my name is Maoshan."
"I want to ask you something."
"I'm here...to propose marriage."
There were indeed some pastries scattered in the yard, as well as two pieces of cloth.
The cakes were purchased from the most expensive one in Fengxin City. They were made with the taste that King Pingxi liked personally. They were not so sweet or greasy. They were still expensive, so most people would not buy from them. Because the people are not tired of sweets yet, if pastries are not sweet, are they called pastries?
The cloth came from the south of the Yangtze River of the Qian Kingdom. It was brought by the Qian Kingdom caravan, and the price was equally expensive.
You must know that in this era, this kind of cloth could actually be used as payment to soldiers, and occasionally it was also a unit of measurement of wealth.
These things are naturally nothing to the palace;
But for an ordinary Biaohu family, for the savage Biaohu who was kneeling on the ground with scars in front of him, it was definitely a drain on his family's wealth.
Look at the little lady over there with tears in her eyes;
Obviously, the story is similar to that the two of them got to know each other somehow, and even fell in love with each other. I don't know whether they have decided to commit to each other for the rest of their lives, but they are definitely "in love" with each other.
This savage young man came to propose marriage;
As a result, the little lady's father, who spoke with a Jindi accent, called for help, took off her clothes, hung her up and whipped her severely.
Just looking at the nature of the matter, it is clear who is right and who is wrong;
After all, it was not the savage young man named Maoshan who wanted to "buy and sell by force" to show off his arrogance.
The barbarians, under the entire system of the palace, are under Yan, Man, and Jin. As long as they are not bullied, how can they have the courage to bully others.
At this time,
Chen Daole hurried in and saluted Zheng Fan.
His job is to coordinate and handle conflicts and relationships between clients.
Fengxin City has two judicial systems. Those who commit crimes committed by ordinary people and those committed by standard households are managed by different yamen. This has two main purposes. One is to better manage this organization that has both production and war. The other is to It is to improve the political treatment of "standard households".
Chen Daole is one of the principals in this yamen.
"Master Chen.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are here."
"What's the crime for a sergeant who fights in private?"
Chen Daole immediately replied:
"Dang it!"
Zhang Da was stunned for a moment.
His helpers, who were also members of the military, also looked horrified;
Zhang Da's mother-in-law was so frightened that she fainted, and the young lady was also a little dazed.
This is not because the law of the palace is strict. In fact, this law already exists in the Yan army. What an army fears most is not how powerful the enemy is, but the internal disunity. Private fighting between soldiers is a serious crime. If you are not careful, you may cause a roar.
At this time,
The savage man named Maoshan spoke;
"My lord, this is not a fight, it's my father-in-law... My father-in-law said that this is the custom of their Zhang family. The first time my uncle came to the house, he had to be beaten by his father-in-law. After eating and beating, he remembered the beating, so that he would not bully anyone in the family in the future. Daughter.
I...we agreed. "
Zheng Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
This savage young man is not simple.
First of all, someone who speaks fluent Xia language is already very capable.
The savage army under the palace was originally from the savage tribes north of Xuehaiguan, not the familiar savage tribes in the Tianduan Mountains that were close to Jin.
In fact, the familiar savage tribe can no longer be considered savages, because they may have spoken Xia language for a long time, but they cannot speak savage language at all.
In the early years, before Gou Moli's rise, savages who could speak the Xia language could often get a good position in the caravans traveling to and from the Jin Land and the Snowfield. Gou Moli was the first to do this.
Furthermore, he was tied up, and a group of savages named Pao Ze came to rescue him with knives. This proved that although Maoshan was young, he had a high prestige among Pao Ze.
In the end, it was this on-the-spot reaction.
Beaten, beaten already, hated, should be hated, how could any old man be able to swallow such a breath after being humiliated and beaten like this?
But he……
"Mountain."
"Subordinates are here."
"You remind me of someone."
Maoshan didn't dare to speak, he just lowered his head.
"Let me think of it, Jinshu is good."
"How can I compare with General Jin? This subordinate..."
Zheng Fan's eyes fell on Zhang Da who was kneeling over there and said:
"Is that what happened?"
Zhang Da is a little stupid, but he is not a fool.
When weighing the two options of losing his head and recognizing his relatives, he could still tell which one to choose, especially what the prince just said about "good metal skills". What kind of evaluation is this?
If the prince is the myth of the rise of the head of Guizhou, then in eastern Shanxi, another myth under the prince can be created by gold.
Jin Shuke, who was born in the criminal tribe, step by step reached the position of Zhengyin's chief military officer, and he still had the title of Dayan. Before, it was really unimaginable.
"In reply to the prince... it is... it is like this... it is..."
Everyone knows this is a lie,
But the problem is,
You have to see if the person you deceived is willing.
"This time we are sending troops to Fan City, are you there?" Zheng Fan asked.
"If you want to reply to the prince, my subordinates are here."
"Can I still go now?"
"I can go!" Maoshan said firmly.
"What about the injury?"
"If you can take good care of yourself on the road, when you get to Fan City, don't delay in fighting!"
Zheng Fan nodded and said:
"It's better to stay and recuperate."
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are not willing to stay. When they attacked the city, they were there. When they attacked the vine-armored soldiers, they were also there. They are willing to fight. They are willing to fight for the prince!"
"Why?"
Maoshan raised his head, looked at the prince, and suddenly smiled, a little silly;
But there is a big fool named number one in the family,
Prince Pingxi's threshold for "silliness" is already very high.
"Fight with the prince and you will have meat to eat."
"Ah."
Zheng Fan raised his hand and said, "Master Chen."
"Subordinates are here!"
"I'll leave this matter to you."
"My subordinate understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
The prince stood up,
Go outside.
Military law is like a mountain, but apart from the law, there is nothing more than human feelings.
If military discipline is strictly enforced, it will be easy to abandon the fundamentals and pursue the inferior;
The existence of the law, for a ruling institution like the Royal Palace, is to consolidate its own ruling foundation and make the subordinates more harmonious.
Killing Zhang Da and others to enforce military discipline is simple and satisfying, but it will only intensify this contradiction.
This kind of "Hello everyone" ending, although clichéd, can also make people feel uncomfortable. It may not even play a role in bridging this torn group, but at least it can pretend to be harmonious. A paper;
Everyone knows that there are dense cracks under the tissue paper that are still cracking, but even if you are deceiving yourself, you still need it.
Zheng Fan felt that he had shown a good attitude.
The attitude of the prince is above the dignity of the law. This is the law within the law.
...
The prince returned to the palace,
quickly,
Dai Li was called over.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are here!"
"Have you heard what happened just now?"
As the first spy in the palace under Xue San, although he only cares about the inn and caravan affairs on the surface, his hands cannot be so orderly or orderly.
"If you reply to the prince, your subordinates will know."
"Check for me to see if the whole thing is just a coincidence."
Dai Li's eyes lit up and he immediately said:
"My subordinate understands."
After all, it is not a secret that the prince is going to the school at dusk. The young men will definitely be extremely excited and tell their parents and people around them about it.
Maoshan's proposal of marriage, and...
Zheng Fan added:
"If it is really just a coincidence, come and inform me. If it is not a coincidence, just pretend that nothing happened."
"Your Majesty's heart is as big as the sea, and my subordinates admire him!"
"Boss Dai."
"Here, my subordinate is here..."
The rumored big shot who gave Dai Li his nickname finally came to light.
"In the past, Gu used to rely on these little clever things to get up. Gu Ye was never afraid of the cleverness of his subordinates."
"Yes, my subordinate understands."
"But, sometimes, don't be too smart."
Dai Li knew that this was the prince beating himself up to prove that he was worthy of being beaten. Dai Li immediately patted his chest and continued to show his loyalty.
At this time,
The blind man came in.
The prince waved his hand,
Dai Li stood up, saluted Mr. Bei again, and then left.
"Sir, my subordinate just found out about the matter."
Prince Pingxi, who was sitting on the chair, nodded.
Road:
"I didn't expect that the contradiction below would be so acute."
"The contradiction has always been there. In fact, the things we have been doing and the wealth we have pieced together are similar to the Sima family in the history of another time and space."
After the Sima family took over the world, the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out. This Sima killed that Sima, and that Sima killed this Sima, and also led the barbarians in, which eventually led to the Five Husbands chaos in China.
But now, the barbarians and savages who were originally impossible to enter the land of Zhuxia and could not be beaten no matter how hard they fought have become bidders under the palace. When Zheng Fan was here, it didn't matter. Once the flag of King Pingxi was raised, the internal conflicts could be solved completely. It can be suppressed and there won't be any big trouble;
And once something happens to Prince Pingxi, this stall will probably become the key to great changes in the future.
And this contradiction will continue to intensify as the population continues to absorb.
"Is there no way to heal it?" Zheng Fan asked.
If the emperor in the court wants to have fun, he can invite several parties to fight in the arena and be the referee himself.
But he is an army. If he continues to let it go, when the gap becomes more serious, it is likely to turn into one side watching the other side and doing nothing to save them.
The blind man said:
"Have you ever seen blacksmithing, my lord?"
"Of course I have seen it."
"Only through repeated hard work can the impurities be removed, and a truly refined edge can be achieved. There are ways to bridge the gaps and unite various ethnic groups, and they are very simple."
Zheng Fan smiled,
He looked at the blind man with some amusement.
The blind man pretends that he is "blind" and does not see,
Asked and answered himself:
"Continuous...foreign wars!"
